Protection" Democrats.

il 10 conceivable how Republicans
mny reuse to endorse the policy of
protection, but how any man fayorinR
it can call himself Democrat asses
comprehension.
1t Is true that the protective tariff
Was PARTY issue many years ago, and
was favored by the Wings and opposed
by the Democrats. But the Wings
fsyored 1t only as encouragement to
industries then in a state of infancy as
compared with their condition today +;
and ~ these industries progressed and
other issues he,ams prominent, the
tariff was finally eliminated from the
field OF public discussion. Protection,
therefore, is not the natural Inheritance
OF the Republican party OF today. 1t
is principe forced upon the party by
selfish Interests. ,a
But party tradition, as we'll as party
principle, MAKES It absolutely imros.
sih,e for q Democrat TO be pro
tectionist. II he Is the one, be cannot
possibly be the othsr. the Democratic
party from it's birth opposed protection,
and this opposition Is one Of tho cardi-
nal principles OF the party.
Protection Democrat" is a mis-.
homer. The proteoticnist who claims
to be also Democrat is political
fraud.

Whi'e the Baltimore & oh o Railroad
20. is party to the resolution recently
adopted by the Trunk Line Association
BY which each road pledges itself not
to Issue any passes to officers or en-
lloyes OF other transportation com.
panies IN 1902, the rumor that free
transportation and half rates would not
be issued after JanuerY LIST to employees
IS erroneous. Official announcement
has been made that there will not be
any nhateriai change in the method OF
issuing transportation to employees, and
tnat passes and half-rate tickets may be
procured by them as heretofore. At
the Ifuuk Line meeting it was decided
that each line ahould regulate the
Issuance OF transportation to it's own
employees to suit local conditions.

unprefltahle Ventures.

The Delaware Democrat OF George
town carefully and effectively reviews
the conditions of our costly and un-
justifiabe war against the patriotic
people of the Philippine Islands, adj
vances this sound conclusion:
The continuance Of the war, there.
fore, cannot benefit this country in any
event, and is likely to cost US much
more in blood and treasure than they
can possibly be worth.
Ii iB the duty Of nations as we'll as
individua 10 oease Improbable ven
lures before they become too great a
burden, and in this Ease 1t would be
we'll for the country not to allow false
pride TO stand in the way of solution
OF the trouble that would beneiit all
concerned.
This conclusion is reached from n
practical and businesslike viewpoint,
but it applies to all other considerations
involved. For this war would be bad
enough even IL it promised material
profit to this country in return for the
expenditure OF blood and money. 1t is
war not justified by the instincts of
humanity, and it is absolutely hostile
to the best and soundest traditions of
our country. 1t IL. in effect. just such
war as Great Britain waged against
the oppressed people of the American
Colonies. and which resulted 10 the
birth OF this great nation of ours.
And how much worse it " for this
country to prosecute var that is SO
contrary to the principles that brought
it into existencs, when such war
brings in it's train enormous sacrifices
OF life and treasure for which there can
never be any compensation, and no
financial profit whatever.

Sympathy for Concentrates.


Gov. Richard Yates of Illinois, at the
request of several thousand citizens,
has issued a proclamation calling atten-
tion to the destitute and helpless con.
ditioD of the women. children and other
non -combatants now confined 10 the
military camps of South Africa yic-
Tins OF the concentration policy and
calling upon sympathetic peop,o to cou-
tribute to fund for their relief.
There is no doubt that the sympathy
of the entire civilized world will 20 out
to these unfortunate victims Of n
brutal feature OF a brutal war.
But how long win it be before the
victims of this same brutal Eolicy
as imposed by tho authority of the
United States governmentEwill also
appeal to the sympathy and assistance
of kind hearted People everywhsleg
This country is now enforcing u
causeess and cruel war against the
patriotic people of the Philippine
Islands. and those in charge of the
military operations have adopted the
cruel policy Of the concentration Of non
combatants, 1t was this policy and its
attendant cruelties, as praeticed by the
Spanish forces in Cuba, that aroused
the feelings OF the people OF this country
to the point OF armed intervention.
And now we are enforcing the same
policy. although the extreme brutalities
OF the system haze not yet deveored,
and may not.
But this plain facts stands forth that
we are enforcing in the Philippines the
same policy tina. we condemned when
applied by Spain to Cuba. And ws can
not consistently dsprecate the horrors
OF the concentration policy in South
Africa, and appeal for aid for its vic.
tins, while tho same policy Is being
enforced in the Philippines under our
national sanction.

Well. why not2 Since the protection
OF silver by enforced purchase Of bullion
by the government for coinage purposes
has been abandoned, and the attempt
to give further protection in the way of
free and unlimited coinage has been
defeated, the silver miners enjoy no
