SEATTLE. SUNDAY, August II.


II In q far cry to 1906; but il tenden-
cies and the present temper OF populists
are in9ieations--and they are-.there
Will be- no fusion with Democrats for
the election OF president. Popuiists
have discovered that there has been 10
fopuiist national party since 1se2. and
Democrats have learned that fusion
means loss OF identity as O separate ma
tional factor. a wide departure from old
traditions and policies. and inevitable
failure to carry into the alliance all the
potential strength and numbers of the
old Democracy. There are many Demo-
Gratis and many Populists who will not
permit themselves 10 be- delivered into
any new organization that contempiatcs
compromise or abandonment OF princi
pies III which they believe ana for
which they have long fought; and 1t Ia
undeniab.e that their numbers are con-
siantly increasing.
The revolt against fusion among Pop
uiists has become so formidable that 1t
has forced the Hon. Marion Butter, ma
tional chairman CT that parry into a
clear definition or his attitude. He is
reported In an Associated Press dis
patch az having declared In great
Populist meeting at Greenville, Texas.
Friday:
THAT as national chairman he wou',
promise that there would be no trades
or combines with etshe- OF the CID
parties before the next national conver-
ton. aud he would cali that convention al
least 4 month before the Democrats or
Republican conventions convened and thus
prevent any opportunity for fusion. lie

Now Watch Protection Fall.

Many of the most radical republi-
cons and high protectienists are be-
ginning to feel that since the success of
American manufacturers in Compel
ing with Europ can manufacturers on
their own ground there is more money
to be made on a fair field than within
a tariff fence. Especially is this SO
with capitalists who have heretofore
made up large republican campaign
funds. Read the following from that
faithful republican organ, the Com
mercial Advertiser:
Time is coming when we shall
copy the present navigation laws of
Great Britain, as we shall copy her
present tariff laws, as we are now
using both tariff and navigation cop
led from those of the British before
changed conditions caused them to be
discarded for the present. British
laws concerning trade were not
changed from sentiment, but for prac-
teal gain. That which illumined her
medieval darkness was enlightened
self-interest. We are as keen to see
this as the British. and when it shines
on us in the same way we shall change
our policy.
I'VE begin to see it as to the tariff
and are becoming ready to discard
protection as supertluous. Great
Britain discarded it because che inter-
ests it helped were less important
than that it hurt. 1t is~not hurtful to
us in any way but the few cases where
it increases cost of raw material of
manufacturers, since we do not i'm
port food; but it is rapidly becoming
useless

WAKE ISLAND, which Commander
Faussig, of the gunboat Pennington
has been ordered to find and take pos
session of in the name of the United
States. is about midway on the $500
mile stretch between Honolulu and
Guam. 1t was discovered by Com
mander Wilkes, of the United States
navy, some twenty years ago. and on
July last one of our transports en-
route to Manila stopped there to per-
NIT the troops to celebrate the nation s
birthday on shore. The island is only
n few acres in extent, is uninhabited,
but possesses a fairly good harbor, and
would be a good cable anchorage. An
executive order will be the only act of
annexation required. as the island is

CEDAR RAPIDS IN LINE.
Iowa Town to Have a Ball Team Next

Cedar Rapids wants baseball next
year A correspondent from there
writing to the Sporting News SAYS:
There is some little stir among the
fans of this city. since the organiza-
ton OF the Western association for the
coming ball season has been agitated.
A meeting is called for early in Janu-
ary. at which ways and means will be
discussed, with n view to putting in 4
good team. After the dissolution of
the Western association last summer,
Cedar Rapids was left with little to
satisfy 'her taste for sport, and as
the time approaches when the new
season opens, considerable enthusiasm
is being shown toward reorganiza-
ton and with the view of placing a
first-class team in Cedar Rapids.
Many of the people of the west are
aware of the fine diamond and
grounds and other facilities with
which Cedar Rapids is equipped.
Many were disappointed that Manager
Hill could not contest the season out
last year, as we think we were in n fair
way TO win the pennant again. How
ever, if it is decided to reorganize the
Western association and Cedar Rapids
is member, the team we are repre-
sented by will give good account of
itself
