As to Commercialism.

The Republican party is accused by
Mr.. Bryan and other orators of his
stamp of advocating a policy OF COM
mercialism." OF placing the dollar
above the man" Of placing trade ex-
pansion before liberty" and the like.
The Interpretation Of this IS. in plain
English. that the Republican party is
advocating a policy which aims at put
ting dollars in the pockets OF the
American people, increasing the mar
ket for. and the price paid to labor and
adding new markets for the consump-
ton OF the products OF American farms
and American manufactures: and the
Democratic orators assume without
the slightest foundation in fact, that
such a policy cannot be carried into
effect without in some indefinite. in

Triumph OF Bossism.

The result of the fusion convention
in this city Is one of the most striking
Illustrations ever seen In this state OF
the triumph Of bossism. The fight
against the denomination of Gov. Rog-
ers was made in the primaries in every
precinct In the state. In both the Demo-
cratic and Popullstie parties. The per-
sonal appointees Of the governor had
abandoned their official duties, In many
instances for weeks, and devoted the
time for which the people paid them
to the work Of advancing the political
fortunes OF their patron. According
to the charges made by leading Demo-
cratic newspapers. the governor had
levied and collected political assess
ments from the men holding state Of
fees under his appointment, and in
this manner secured fund TO be ex-
pended in his political canvass for the
denomination. Notwithstanding all
this activity, when the conventions as
sembled IN Seattle there was major
liy against Rogers In each. and both OF
them were organized by his bitter OPP
ponents. The appeal had been made 20
the rank and file Of the Democratic
and Populisic parties. and by a sub
stantial majority the rank and Gle had
determined that they did not want
Rogers, The referendum was against
him. and the Imperative mandate"
had issued for his recall.

that is said the better.
Senator Turner is commended for the
wise, courageous and patriotic man
ner in which he has defended the
honor Of his country, but the conven-
ton neglected to go into details, and
failed to show that his patriotic con-
duct has consisted largely Of bitter and
scurrilous assaults upon the president
Of the United States personally, of
vicious attempts TO thwart the govern

lens arising out Of the late war, and
of holding out hope to the enemies OF

convention that will go down in his
tory as one Of the most VIGOROUSLY
corrupt Of recent years.
The platform is insnoerity all
through, but it would have been folly
to expect anything else in a declara-
ton of principles framed TO cover all
the vagaries that are dear to the three
parties making up. the triple alliance.
AS a matter OF fact. the platform is
the modern fusionists. The object OF
combination is not now the advance
ment of any principle or the enforce
ment Of any policy; it' Is rather an
alliance for spois. and the time al
lowed for perfecting the details Of the
barter Is too short to permit OF a
waste OF energy in the work of franz
ing a platform. Plumber and not plat
forms is what the new Democracy is
interested In.

MANY men out OF employment in other
countries. while II has opened new ave-
nues for employment in this country
A sentimentalist can see objections to
II. when such objections crystalline
into concrete legislation. however. the
people have a fashion of expressing
their preference for the commercial
ism which looks out for the interests
of the people of our own country.
The passage of the Wilson tariff bill
was hailed with widespread rejoicing
by the people of the manufacturing dis
tricts of Great Britain. and many fac
tory fires were kindled in that country
which had long been extinguished.
But for every furnace fire hndled In
England, half a dozen went out in this
country. With hundreds of thousands
out of employment. the home demand
for and home consumption of Ameri-
can products fell off more rapidly than
ever before in history, and widespread
suffering and distress followed. In
spirit OF commercialism. the Eapubli-
can party enacted the Dingiey bill. fac
tories were promptly reopened. wages
went up with bound, and the Ameri-
can people once more enjoyed abundant
prosperity. The dollar was placed be-
fore the man." and he had a chance TO
earn It.
The mere fact that a retention Of the
Philippine islands is to result in larg-
er demand for the products of Ameri-
can mills and American farms seems
to the Democratic orators of fne Bryan
stamp a strong argument against such
retention. 1t is too gross. too coarse.
too material a consideration to influ-
ence political action, according to these
gentry. The Republican party, on the
other hand, does not hesitate to as
sumo the position that the material
welfare Of the American people is a
powerful influence in debating the
policy which 1t VIII follow in any par
ticular emergency; and considers II a
good justification for any policy which
does not jeopardize American honor
that a pursuance of such policy will
put money in the pocket of the Ameri-
can laborer and American farmer.
The Organizes may. IL they choose.
characterize this as gross, sordid COM
mercialism.

II is not uncommon for one political
party to make charges such as these
against it's rival, or for faction to brand
faction; but we believe this to be abb
soluteiy the first time in political his
tory that any body Of men ever ratified
such an indictment OF It's own acts,
after having nominated its candidates
and completed its work. These reso-
luton. may well constitute the Repub-
lican platform. 1t cannot tell any
deadlier truths about the opposition
than they have solemnly certified to
themselves unsolicited.
II is a true bill. No man who saw
the work of the convention, who min
gled with the delegates. who was ia
miliar with the currents Of influence
that swayed 1t, will deny these allega-
lions. They describe the certain con-
sequences Of that most immoral OF all
political immoralities-fusion; the re-
duction OF political activity TO mere
barter, tho subordnation OF all princi-
pie to the greed for place. They are as
Inseparabie from fusion as putrefaction
from decay But never before did the
Indignation Of those upon whom these
arts were practised and the brazen In
difference Of those who practised and
those who profited by them go to the
extent OF a public avowal.
The fusion convention and Its ticket
are self-condemned. 1t has achieved
confession, not by the humiliation pre-
liminary to repentance. but by the inn
patience that cares no longer to wear
a disguise. 1t is with such an indorse-
ment by those who made 1t that the
Democratic ticket goes before the peo-
pie of Washington. II all its weakness
were strength. nothing could save 1t
from the punishment that its extra
ordinary but just self-condemnation
invites and demands.

for the Rogers delegates who had been
turned down in the Democratic and
Populistlc primaries and county con-
ventions. It required no voice Of the
people to select delegates to the free
silver convention. Every man who

Populistic and Democratic conventions.
