THERE WILL BE NO TINKERING
Prosperity Is Here and 1t VIII BE
Well to Let Ii Remain
with Us.

Democratic papers are able to APP
plaud one republican member of the
congress about to assemble, and that
is Representative Babcock, of Wis
consin, who has prepared bill to re-
wise the iron and steel tariff sched-
uIe. Mr.. Babcock assumes that his
bill would regulate prices in the in
terest of American consumers. That
point is entirely conjectural. Amer
lean consumers are not complaining.
unless it is of a shortage of railway
cars to get iron, steel and other man
ufactured products as fast as they
are wanted. American workers in
stee! and iron industries are not com
planning. They are all employed at
good wages. The rule of letting well
enough alone is good. Within ten
years there have been three pro-
longed periods of tariff revision. The
last brought forth the tariff which
Nelson Dingley shaped and President t
Mckinley approved. Both were great
masters of the tariff question. Their
object was to restore prosperity. 1t
is here, says the St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, and it would be unwise to
risk existing conditions by expert
menting with theories like the one
advanced by Mr.. Babcock.
The tariff question cannot be re-
opened at one single point. \ pro-
longed change in the steel and iron
schedule means a corresponding at
tack on many other schedules. Mr..
Babcock is not the only tariff the
orist in congress. The others are
equally sure that they can guess re-
suits correctly. Tariff making at
best is disturbing to business. Mar
gins of profit are involved in scores
of industrial interests. Tariff changes
often settle the question whether a
factory shall keep on or close. A
tariff contest in congress induces, for
the time being, inaction in business.
The United States is enjoying under
the present tariff the busiest and
most prosperous times the country
has ever known. Mr.. Babcock's the
ory will be much safer on the shelf
beside the tariff lobby than as an en-
tering wedge to admit the whole
army of tariff rippers. Ostensibly
aimed at large steel and iron estab-
lishments, it would hit the people. 1t
is distinctly an ill-advised hazardous

A DEMOCRATIC PROBABILITY.
Indications of n Violent Swing of tn e
Party Pendulum in
1904.

Daniel S. Lamont, of New York,
is likely to be a candidate for the
presidential nomination in the next
democratic national convention, ac-
cording to reports which come out
of the east. The men who bring this
news are friends of Mr.. Lamont, and
they believe that what they hear is
true, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid.
The Lamont suggestion as a mat
ter of course, comes from and finds
favor with those democrats who be-
lieve in Grover Cleveland, and have
not yet lost all faith in his brand of
democracy. They see no salvation
for their party except return to
the ancient faith" In Mr.. Lamont
they are willing to believe they
would have a candidate who would
bring back into aggressive action for
democratic tickets those influences
which were lost in 1896 on account
of the silver question, and vet
candidate against whom many OF the
objections to other men in the gold
bug" wing of the party would not
lie.
Mr.. Lamont. it will be remembered
came into prominence as secretary to
the president during the first Cleve-
land term, and in that subordinate
position was about the biggest man
in the country, according to the pub
lies view, after the president himself.
That all came from his faculty for
handling men democratically as well
as adroitly. Nothing of that repu-
tation was materially damaged dur
ing the second Cleveland administra-
ton, when he was secretary of war.
Mr.. Lamont is now rich man. He
is a director in many large corpora
tions, including the Northwestern
Security company, which is effect
ing virtually consolidation of the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific.
Burlington and Union Pacific rail
road interests. This is the one fact
which looms largest in the eyes of
the democrats to whom the Lamont
suggestion has been advanced as
possibility Of the future.
1t is generally believed that the
democratic pendulum is quite ready
for such a violent swing - from
Bryan, of 1896 and 1900, to an active
representative os some of the ma
tons largest corporations.
GTSome extremists in Germany are
talking of a tariff war against the
United States. But the talk will
probably come to nothing. No coun-
try which is dependent on Others
for many necessaries of life, includ-
ing food articles, is in a position to
wage tariff war-especially against
the nation which is the chief souS?e
OF supply.-rroy Times.

WHAT THE PEOPLE KNOW.
Advantages ResEitfnE from the
Working o.. of Republican
Policies.


eft would seen," wistfully re-
marks Mr.. Bryan, in comment on the
recent elections, that republican pol
icies ought to arouse overwhelming
opposition among the wealth pro-
ducers of the country, for surely no
man who earns his living can point
to any advantages which the repub-
lican party brings to the masses of
the people. But they evidently fail"
he plaintively adds, ''to appreciate
the viciousness of the principles
which are at work"
What Mr.. Bryan fails to appreciate,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, is the
fact that the people can and do un-
derstand the advantages that repub-
lican policies bring to them. In
order to understand they have but to
contrast their present condition with
that under which they suffered a few
years ago. Then one faction of the
democratic party had paralyzed in
dustry by destroying the confidence
of capital in it's proftmaling pow
ers. AS a result hundreds of thou
sands of artisans were forced into
idleness.
For this calamity the democratic
faction led by Mr.. Bryan proposed a
most wonderful remedy. 1t was
nothing less than to cut in two the
value of the artisans wages. The
republican party, however, proposed
to continue to pay the artisan in 100
n InllurG nnl OF tba TINA
to assure his getting them by restor
ing capitals confidence in the profit
making powers of industry.
The majority of the people UNDER
stood and approved the republican
partys policies and returned it to
power. 1t restored capitals con-
fidence in the future industry and in
the security of investment 1t as
sured labor of employment and that
its wages would be paid in currency
worth exactly what it professed to
be. The result of this restoration of
confidence and assurance Of Justice
was speedily seen. The country en-
tered upon an era of prosperity
greater and more generally diffused
than it had ever been before.
The republican party did more. 1t
led the nation to victory in war, vim
dicated its honor, delivered millions
long oppressed, and enlarged the
boundaries of freedom. Mr.. Bryan
sought to convince the people that
they were going forward, not to
glory, but shame-that the expan-
sion of their dominions was not an
extension of liberty, but the estab-
lishment of slavery-and that their
only salvation was to run away from
their plain duty and destiny.
Once more the people, il, a ma
jority, even more overwhelming, ap-
proved republican policies and re.
jected Mr.. Bryane. Incapable him
self of understanding the people, Mr.
Bryan now takes refuge in the last
argument of the defeated and dis
credited politician. He walls that the
people do not understand, and COM
plains of their stupidity.

That fashion is necessary to and

University of Chicago, in an addresses

said that efforts to break down the
barriers of fashion such as are at
tempted in the church sociables were
dismal failures. Persons who insist
on ultra conventionalism he referred
to as snobs, and others, who, because
they are self-conscious and unable to
fit into the social structure, ridicule
fashion, were designated as Doors.

A new law has just gone into ef-
feet in Minnesota the provisions of
which are so admira BILE that the won
der is why they were not adopted
long ago in all the states. The new
law provides that the man who re-
fuses or neglects to support his fam
lily is guilty of felony, while the
former law, made such non-support
merely misdemeanor. The new
statute applies to a class of offend
ers deserving of no sympathy and
requiring a great deal more punish
ment than is generally meted out.

Tribune, and they
will be sprinkled with actual occur
rences. Let me premise by saying
that a few years ago 1 noticed
competition in an English Journal for
the best definition of a gentleman and
lady. One specification impressed me.
1t was to this effect: "a gentleman
is one who has always perfect and
kind consideration for the rights and
privileges of Others" Now, that is
a strong statement, but L have no.
ticed hundreds of times that it fills
the bill. But what has that to do
with etiquette in cars? A gentleman
and his wife were coming to town on
a drizzly, sloppy evening to attend
the theater. The gentleman was
properly attired in evening dress. Sit
ting beyond him was a woman with a
bedraggled skirt, muddy and wet.
When she started to leave the car
the gentleman saw her gather her
skirt in mass and prepare to sweep
by him, leaving in his lap and on his
clothes a bright and elegant sample
of the mud and slime that is gathered
upon macadamized streets. He guard
ed himself by placing his umbrella,
so that she would be compelled to
miss him entirely. But she couldn't
get by. There was some mutual
glowering. Then: "Will you please
remove Your umbrella" And he
said: "Certainly, if you will drop your
skirt, so that | will not be made a
sight by The mud that you will drench
me with" She did, and the event
was over. Now, as to the comment.
The man was right, for the way wom-
en- sweep their skirts to one side-and
many times they are filthy and dirty
and sweep the knees of men, leav-
ing a dirty, ugly trail, is useless and

wrath and cuss words of men who
like to appear neat. AS to a man.
Two women, we'll gowned and in
shades quite easily soiled, were in a
car. There entered man who was
mud from head to heel. Perhaps he
had worked in a trench-which was
not to his discredit-but there was
no reason for forcing himself into
the narrow space between them. Alb
solutely, they were compelled to
stand or undergo the expense of hav-
ing their nice clothes ruined by the
black and white mud with which the
man was covered. They stood up. A
