capital of the fact that the republic

grown strong and prosperous.

Kinley schedule and the Diugley
schedule aud at no time have the
national industries suffered by the
changes made. The republicans
understand that the industrial life
of the nation is a complicated
mechanism ard that each year
brings changed conditions which
must be met by a shifting of
schedule rates. The wisdom of
the protective tariff as a national
policy cannot be successfully &c.

Still without an Issue.

Though the congressional cleo.
tons are but little more than two
months distant, the democratic
party is without a single definite
proposition on which to make the
fight. It has cooled off percepti-
bly, on the Philippines. Republi.
cans are far ahead in practical
ideas touching the regulation of
trusts. Financial questions are
avoided by democrats. War taxa.
ton has ended. The tariff issue is
open, If the democratic party cares
to make that the pivot Of the con.
test. but, in the light,of what hap
pened q few years ago, they would
rather be excused. Prosperity
still abides throughout the land.
Business men generally are crowd.
ed with orders and every wheel Is
turning except in the few places
where strikes are in progress.
Last years treasury operations
ended with big surplus, and there
will probably be balance on the
right side, In spite Of immense tax
reductions, when the fiscal year
closes ten months hence.
The democratic party has failed
to find an issue in the yer 1902
SIMPLY because there Is none on
which opposition politics can be
intelligeptly based. But demo-
Gratis can console themselves with
the fact that no issue Is as profit.
able IS the rejected issues the party
has been chasing for forty years.
II abandoned the issue Of sound
money and left Mr.. Cleveland in
the lurch because he had a different
opinion a. to that movement.
Where is the issue Of the 40 cent
dollar today? Where are the
other democratic issues that have
been insisted on in the pas, J A
democratic paper In in Brooklyn
says the party this year will vote
on instinct, and it considers the
idea pleasing. The democratic
party Is reduced 70 the necessity Of
voting against republican policies
without being able to give q
specific reason for it. 1t Is safe to
say the next congress will not be
elected on instinct.

Republican Leaders.


John T. Morrison will open the
republican campaign in the north
and Burton L. French will launch
1t In the southeast. These two
men are the leaders on the republi-
can ticket, and both are splendidly
equipped tor the positions they
will hold in the campaign.
Mr.. Morrison has campaigned
the state before, and wherever he
has appeared in the past the peo-
pie will be anxious to see and hear
him In this canvass. He Is all
that a candidate should be. He is
a man of commanding ability, Of
absolutely irreproachable character
and of fine address. Mr.. Morrison
is eloquent and his speeches are
instructive. In private inter-
course he impresses every one
with his sincerity and ability, and
the people everywhere will be glad
to see him. Those who already
know him will take especial pleas.
ure in renewing the acquaintance,
and those who have never met him
will feel repaid for going to hear
him.
The great point that will be inn
pressed on the public mind respect
ing Mr.. Morrison is that he is
capable of being good governor;
that he has the ability to admins.
ter the high trust, and that he has
the character to maintain the high
est possible standards Of ad-
mtnistration. No one knowing
him will doubt that he will keep
the state government out Of all
shady transactions and prevent the
interests of the common wealth
from being sacrificed through in
competency.
Mr.. French is not known to so
many of the people, but wherever
he Is known he is a favorite with
all classes, and the people Of all
sections will take especial delight
In making his acquaintance. He
is man of great ability. He is a
fluent and convincing speaker.
In his utterances he is thoroughly
honest. as he is in every act Of his
lite, and he will make deep i'm.
preston In all quarters. Mr..
French makes fine impression in
personal intercourse, and the peo-
pie will take pleasure in meeting
him. There is that about him
which will convince every uu.
biased person that he is splendid
man for the position for which he
has been nominated. He is hard
student and a tireless worker, and
the people where he appears dur
ing the campaign will realize that
the state will be creditably rep
resented if he be elected. Boise

The Lewiston teller. (Lewiston, Idaho) 1900-1905, 1902-09-18

The democratic party points
with pride to its management of
state affairs and talks about
economy and business integrity.
Fortunately for the democracy of
Idaho a republican national ad-
ministration has been in power for
the past six years and under re.
publican national policies the
whole nation has prospered. 1t Is
an easy matter.to reduce tax levies
when property valuations have in.
creased as they have in the past
six years. A smaller tax levy
would produce even more money
to be used in the conduct of state
business. The general prosperity
prevalent throughout the state has
enabled the people to pay taxes as
they were not able in hard times
when the democrats had control OF
national affairs. Not only were
the taxes paid for the current
year but thousands OF dollars of
delinquent taxes were paid. All
these funds went in to swell the
state treasury and make the money
available not only to pay all the
Legitimate expenses of late govern
ment but for all kinds Of jobbery
besides. From this fund OF easy
money the democratic state ad-
ministrations raid the expenses of
two code commissions $50, 900 and
still have no code acceptable to the
legal fraternity Of the state. Good
times have made easy money and
the democratic state administration
has seen to it that there is no
embarrassing surplus.

The combined republican vote
amounted to S9.89S. which Is
somewhat larger than usual, and
the total vote to 6o,633. which is
largest ever thrown in the state.
The democratic vote is the small
est thrown in seventy years and is
but little more than one.third that
received by Tilden in 1876. The

varied much In recent years and
since 1890 1t has increased only
