A SILLY ARGUMENT.

Those respectable old Democrats who
still look for the coming of a day when
the Democracy will have no Issue but
free trade might as well give up their
with its talk about Jefferson and a gov
eminent with minimum powers, with its
devotion to individualism. its belief in
laissez faire. 10 gone forever. The new
Democracy, fathered by Bryan, Is q rad
ical somewhat socialistic Democracy. and
Tom johnson will be Its leader.-Minne-
apolis Journal.
Singular, Is it not, that this ghost of
free trade should be conjured from its
almost forgotten grave and used by some
of our esteemed Republican contempora-
ries as a target for hurtless arrowsf 1t
is a term so rarely used by Democrats
that most Of them have forgotten when
there be found a Democrat Of ordinary
intelligence and information who would
think for a moment that such a condition
as free trade between our country and
foreign nations Is possible.
The truth is that an occasional Repub-
lican newspaper or speaker will set up
this free trade man OF straw for the mere
pleasure of knocking it down. Democrats
know that this Government cannot be
maintained without the imposition and
them ever intimate anything else. 1t
amuses some few Republicans to assume
that the Democratic Party is a free trade
party, and to attempt to make some
capital by sucn assumption. but 1t Is a
weak business. There 10 as much differ
ence between free trade and the Demo-
cratic doctrine Of a tariff for revenue
only as there ID between the latter and
the Republican doctrine OF tariff for
protection only. F~ 7
Whether the conservative old Democ-
racy of Jefferson Is dead is a question
to be decided In the future. That the
Tom johnson kind of Democracy has al
most destroyed ths Party is true enough,
and it may be that we will be called on to
endure more of 1t. but we hope for better
things. johnson no more represents the
old idea of Democracy than Bryan does,
and we do not believe the Party will
again suffer itself ridden to defeat by
those who seem unable to learn anything
and TO whom the lessons of the past are
like words written in the sand The Re-
publicans themselves are making it easier
for Democrats to get together and to get
back to the old doctrines which made
the Party feared and respected. If our
enemies have nothing better by way of
argument than to humble free trade"
at US, they may as well go out of bust
ness.

It is No Fun.

Pulling the bell-rope over mules back
day after day while the mercury seems
to have lost the knack of getting very
far below the century mark in the shade
is no fun.-Selma Times.
There may be but little fun in it, while
1t lasts, but we doubt IL some of the
multi-millionaires who are In strain
night and day to take care of their
wealth and to get the better Of other
rich men have as much real fun as the
farmer does. He at least has periods OF
rest and relaxation which the rich opera
tors never enjoy.
