st. Paul, MINI Pioneer-Press Is almost
hysterical in its alarm, and this uneasi-
ness has been communicated 10 other
high protective organs, notably the
Chicago Times Herald. The Pioneer
Press demands, as did Mr.. w. S. Mob
erley in his address before the Pran-
dennial Club on Friday night, in this
city, that the Republican Congress
take action to overthrow the trusts.
and suggests that this may be done by
repeating the protective duty on every
article controlled by a trust. Com
menting upon the Pioneer-Press article
the Chicago Times-Herald, both Re
publican papers, says:
Most certainly it should be the duty
of Congress, in both branches of which
the Republicans have a majority, to
abolish or suspend the protective duty
on the products of any industry which
has been organized into a trust and
which has arbitrarily raised the prices
of products.
No mercy or consideration should be
shown to any combination of capital
that takes advantage of a protective
tariff 10 mulct American consumers. 1t
should be the first office of the Repub-
lican majority in Congress to free its
skirts from all responsibility for trusts
which under shelter of the tariff exact
high prices from the people.
Wherever the protective tariff en-
hances the price Of the product Of a
trust to the American consumer it
should be reduced or removed entirely.
That is pretty safe proposition. Its
adoption will remove the stigma Of
fostering trusts from the Republican
party.
Should the Republican Congress act
upon the advice of these papers the
Dingley protective tariff would pre-
sent the appearance of sieve. IiCon-
gress acts upon this advice the best and
quickest plan would be to repeal the
entire DIngley protective tariff law at
one swoop and then spend ten minutes
in making new one providing for pro-
tective duties on the exceedingly scarce
articles not now controlled by trusts.
As about 200 trusts are now in opera
lion, a repeal of the protective duties
on all articles controlled by trusts
would be repeal of 80 per cent. of the
protective duties provided by the Dingley
law,and would be the most comprehensive
free trade measure ever adopted by an
American Congress. Gov. McCreary
remarked in his address before the club
that trusts begin to levy tribute
upon man the moment he is born into
the world they levy tribute upon him
at every stage of his career; they levy
tribute upon the box in which his dead
body is laid, and the marble trust
levies tribute upon the shaft that
marks his last resting place.
From the cradle to the grave man is
feeced by'trusts; but not until the form.
alton of trusts promised to work an in
jury to the Republican party have the
Republican organs become alarmed
And now that they are thoroughly
alarmed they lose sight of the fact that
the remedy they propose, the with
drawal of protection, is as far removed
from Republican doctrine and preced
ent as the poles from the equator. The
CLIMAX repeats, the keystone OF Re
publicanism is crumbling.
The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1899-04-05

PROTECTION, the great keystone Of Re-
publicanism is slowly crumbling. That
party is becoming thoroughly alarmed
because of the rapidly increasing
member of trusts. The fact that the
trusts are detrimental to the best in
terests OF the whole people is not con-
sidered by the Republicans, but their
alarm is caused by the fact that the
Increase in the trusts promises to work
an injury to the Republican party,
which organization has bent its best
energies to the promotion OF trusts.
And as long as tine trusts were bene-
fetal to that party because Of liberal
campaign contributions the Republican
organs saw in those trusts nothing
alarming or detrimental to the public
welfare.
Now. however, those organs are be-
coming alarmed, and in their fright
they are forgetting great many things
they are accustomed to say about the
benefits of the protective tariff
and are talking like free traders. The

ANENT BRYAN's caustic refusal of
Belmont's invitation to the Jefferson
banquet, the Lexington Globe says
'some people may blame Mr.. Bryan, but
Mr.. Bryan is right, however, as there
never can be any reconcilement be-
tween Gold Democrats and true Jeffer-
sonian Democrats who stick to eonsti-
tutional money-gold and silver. There
is no middle ground upon which they
can unite aud become reconciled to flu
ture joint political action. The Gold
Democrats will consent to nothing but
acquiescence in the Republican view Of
the money question, and this the advo-
Gates of free mintage to both metals
will never do. What is needed is a
new party alignment, with all the Gold
bugs on one side and all the constitu-
tional Democrats on the other. The
Gold Democrats must 90 where they
belong, into the Republican ranks, and
the bimetallist Republicans must join
the Democracy. There is no tenable
middle ground for the union of the now
divergent Democratic wings"

IL the promotion OF stamp deputy

which has the power Of voting. Mr..
Hawkins is a gentleman-honest, pa
triotic, worthy, popular. His only
fault is his politics but his best friends

ment to his party and 10 his profession.
In his case merit and a clean character
have received merited recognition, and
Collector Sapp may rest assured that
he has made no better appointment
since he received his own commission.

IF we properly understand the situa-
ton, Chairman Wingate's refusal in
the Boyle county Legislative conven-
ton, to side with anything that looked
like trick, reflects credit upon that

of right and duty. When friends of
candidates seek through partisan chair
men to gain unjust advantages the

worthy successor, and one who has

thus corroborates the foregoing:

THE Louisville Dispatch was start
ed as the peoples paper, by the peo-
pies money, and they had right to
expect that it would be conducted in
an impartial manner SO for as the
cause of Democratic candidates are con-
cerned. But certain candidates and
certain newspapers have waged war
on the Dispatch, and when that paper
responds to the first law of nature, to
preserve its very life, it is maligued
and. accused of having favOntes and
fighting other good Democrats. AS the
Lord is our judge we believe the Dis
patch has played false to no Democrat,
and most of all has been faithless to no
friend. If to-day it is compelled to
take sides in the heated State Demo-
cratic contest, it is not of it's seeking.
IL would be both knave and fool to
meekly submit to the damaging attacks
of designing men or to turn its back on
those who, in its hours of need, have
been and are still its friends.
Led by the invisible hand Of its nigh
ty rival, the Courier-Journal, those
who could not use the peoples paper
for their private ends have turned trait
or to the Dispatch and now seek its
destruction. 1t is the only hope of De.
mocracy in Kentucky, and the plat
form on which it stands and the truths
it so eloquently and fearlessly breaches
day by day, make it dearer to the plain
people of Kentucky, who seek no office,
than all the ambitious candidates who
for spite and revenge would ruthlessly
wreck it.
May the peoples paper, their day
star and guide, their only political hope
in Kentucky, the Louisville Dispstch,
be securely established, perpetual
blessing. though every turf beneath its
feet be the sepulcher of blasted, selfish
hopes, no matter whose they are!
