The Hypocrisy of Protection.

The Republican controversy
over Cuban reciprocity has
again laid bare the hypocrisy
of the ultra. protectionists.
They oppose any concession to
Cuba on the ground that it
would open the way for an as.
sault on the whole protective
system. That system, there
fore, is to be maintained lr it's
integrity at any cost-even at
the sacrifice of national honor
in the case of Cuba.
But what becomes of the ar
gument adduced TO support
every new tariff schedule, that
is TO be "only a temporary
measures" Give us the duty for
a little while, has always been
the plea-just for a short time,
you know, until the new indus
try gets on it's feet. But when
anybody modestly suggests that
the new industry is able to walk
alone, and tread the public
under its feet, fearful cry goes
up. Perhaps this particular IN
dustry could get on without
government aid, its p rtisans
say, but if you remove the duty
in this case, you are threatening
the whole fabric of protection.

Democrats and Bank Robbers.

The Atlanta Constitution
says: THE republican victory
in Ohio has been followed by an
orgy of bank footing and cause
and effect?" Possibly it is. The
democrats of Ohio are desperate,
and there is no telling what
desperate men may do,
We clip the above comment
upon The CONSTITUTIONS query
from The Ottawa Republican,
which is IA strenuous bugle born
of republication, in Illinois.
Frankly. we do not know the
politics of the enterprising
gentlemen who go a.burgling in
Ohio. Their methods OF acquir.
ing other peoples wealth with.
out work or righteousness so
much resembles the republican
way of enriching people by
tariff bounties and gratuities,
or subsidies, lifted from the
public treasury that we thought
it a foregone deduction that
they were graduates Of that
| political school.
1t is possible that they are
desperate democrats" as The
Ottawa Journal declares. but il
that is the case, 1t is up to The
Journal to tell US why republi.
can presidents take such evi
dent pleasure in pardoning the
larger percentage of these
desperate democratic" bank
robbers out of the peniten
tiaries? 1t is notorious fact,
provable by the records, that
fully twice as many bank loot
ers have been. pardoned since
1897 than were pardoned during
the eight years when the presi
dent was a democrat!
Considering that the banks
in OHIO are mostly adherents
OF the republican party and
policies, as they are through
out the north, east and west,
why should republican presi
dent deal so cruelty with them
as to pardon desperate demo
crats"to prey upon their friends
The fact is the pardoned rob
bers are not democrats. desper
ate or otherwise. and the
esteemed Ottawa Journal is IN
vited most cordially to chip il
and guess again!

Potato Bugs and the TroIIeys.

Potato bugs are causing motor
men of the Wilmington, Stanton
and Newport trolley line trouble,
and the insects are even interfering
with the operation of the cars.
The cool weather of the past sum-
mer has not been agreeable to men,
bers of bugdom, and some of the
members evidently hit upon the
plan of roasting on the trolley rails,
which absorb the rays of thu sun
and remain in a heated condit. on
until late in the evening. When
this became known among members
of the bug tribe, they flocked to
the trolley line in vast numbers,
and in short time motormen ex-
perienced trouble i'm operating
their cars. AT first the cause was
not known, but on an examination
being made the rails were found TO
be covered in sections with the
bugs. The slaughter of the bugs
has been great, and the rails have
become so slippery as a result, that
precantion has to be takenin as
cending or defending hill.-Ey.
