AROUSING OF THE PEOPLE.
Tariff Reform Is being Demanded
Even by Members of the Pro-
lection Party.

Whatever may be the outcome OF
the present tariff agitation such res
olutions rs were adopted in the Idaho
republican state convention show con-
clusively what the rank and file of the
people are thinking. Without serious
opposition the convention declared:
THAT many of the Industries of this
country have outgrown their infancy and
the American manufacturer has entered
the market of the worlo and is successfully
competing with the manufacturers of all
other countries. We therefore favor a re-
vision of the tariff without unreasonable
delay which will place upon the free list
every article and product controlled by
any monopoly and such other articles and
products as are beyond the need of pro-
tection."
This is a stronger declaration than
the one in the Iowa platform because
it was written later. 1t is an eXcep.
tionally clear and straightforward ex-
preston of the real feelings of the peo-
pie of the west, says the Des Moines
Reporter and Leader (rep.).
Such resolutions as these are to be
commended not only for their fearless
frankness, but also because they indi-
cate a popular interest in the public
policies of the nation. It is right and
proper that the people should in this
connection exert an influence on party

WORKOUT DOGGY PHRASES.
Republicans Railing Upon All who
Arc in Favor of a Revision
of the Tariff.

An angry resentment of the popular
demand for tariff revision is the most
noticeable characteristic of republic
IN comment thereon, making plain the
truth that republican unwillingness
to act against the monopolies enjoyed
by the trusts units that party for
service to the people.
The leading organs of republicanism
stigmatiZe as "tariff-smashers' all
those who are in favor of a revision of
the tariff. The only variant of this ia
vorite term in which they indulge is
the second-choice epithet, business
killers" which they employ hopefully
as tending to deter voters from a ON
elusive insistenee upon tariff revision.
In their desperation they are preach
ing the doctrine that the maintenance
of monopoly is necessary to the pros
perity of the masses. says the st. Louis
Republic.
The millions of Americans now bear
ing the tax burden of the Dingley tar
i'll have passed that stage where they
could be fooled by such tactics. They
do not see "prosperity"in the fact that
they are compelled to pay higher
prices for the products of the Ameri-
can trusts than are paid by Europeans

Burlington, VT, Sept. 1.-After hav.

try residence of Secretary Shaw on
Lake Champlain, President Roosevelt,
Sunday, was conveyed in the steam
yacht Elfreda to the Shelburn farms,
the home of DR.. w. Seward Webb,
where he remained over night. His
arrival at Thompson's Point late Sat-
urday night, was made the occasion
for a great demonstration, fully A.
600 people having gathered to extend
him a fitting welcome. There was an
elaborate display of red light and
fireworks, the latter including some
beautiful set pieces, while numerous
small craft on the lake, which had
been gathered together especially for
the event, footed their whistles, fired
salutes and in other ways shared i n
the tumultuous reception. Ascending
the steps of the Shaw residence, the
president in a brief address thanked
the assemblage for having turned out
in such numbers to greet him. AT
the conclusion of his remarks he was
cheered vociferously, and the crowd

POLITICAL DRIFT.

control the trusts the trusts have
nothing to fear.--Indianapolis News

$50 the movement for freer trade
spreads. We rejoice that it is so. If
we San only have, at present, a dem
ocratic party capable of dealing with
this great question, we may hope that
the republican party as a whole will
model itself after the pattern offered
by the republicans of Iowa and Idaho.
Indianapolis News (1nd.).
The exact position of republicans
is that an unjust tariff is crying out
for urgent revision. That they are the
only ones who can 90 the work, and
that they will do it just n day after
never. This is the true tariff faith,
which if any republican do not profess
he shall without doubt everlastingly
fail of getting a campaign fund.-N.
Y. Post.
In any other relation than that
of politics the claim of the party in
power which is responsible for the
existence and maintenance of monop-
olies that it intends to destroy them
would be received with open contempt
by all enlightened citizens.--St. Paul

Brighten. j. p. S. Goblin, in command

policies. This is a government of pop
ular will, and there is no way for the
men who represent the will of the peo-
pie to know what it is excepting as it is
stated in some concrete form by their
constituents. Congressman who at
tend these conventions, and who wit
ness the enthusiasm with which these
declarations are received, return to
Washington with a better acquaint-
ance with public sentiment and are in
better position to act intelligently in
behalf of their constituencies.
1t will not do to minimize the fact
that in states like Iowa and Minnesota
and Idaho, which have recently spok-
en-, the people propose to get at the
trust evil in some effective manner,
and that they propose to have such
tariff schedules as are sheltering these
trust combines removed. Those who
witnessed the reception which this
plank received at the hands of the
Iowa convention had no doubt of the
feelings of the delegates who adopted
it. 1t vas received with a greater dem
onstration of enthusiasm than any
plank in the platform. After all the
discussion that this Iowa plank has oc-
casioned, Idaho republicans with de-
liberation adopted it in more clear cut
and aggressive terms. The trend is un-
mistakable.
1t is to be hoped that in every con-
v%ention still to be held that the PEG.
pie will take a fearless hand in de-
batting these great matters. The pow
er lies with them, and theirs is the
RIGHT.

Bankers association to stop his
career in crime, is absolutely untrue.

for the same products. They fail to
feel prosperous" merely because the
cost of living in this country has been
tremendously increased in order that
the food trusts should make eXor-
bitant profits and pay millions in divi-
nopolists. They can only see and feel
that the Dingley tariff is a mighty
good thing for the trusts and a mighty
bad thing for the people.
Nor is there any popular a%pprehen-
sion of American trade being injured
by a revision of the tariff. American
merchants and manufacturers are I'M
derSelling their competitors in all the
markets of the world. They are more
than equal to holding their own in
American markets. They can, without
the slightest danger of loss, do with
out the "protection" of a tariff whose
duties are necessarily paid by Ameri-
can consumers. They are very sure
that business will be healthier when a
healthy competition is possible and
when individual enterprise and the
conduct of smaller business %ncern
stand some show of profit. There is
no prosperity for the people in the
fact that a few hundred trust mag
mates, out of a population of nearly
S0.O 0O, 900 souls, make fortunes every
year and proceed to spend the bulk of
those fortunes in foreign lands.
That form of "tariff-smashine'
which would revise the Dingley tariff
to the wholesome basis of a tariff for
revenue only is heartily favored by
American public sentiment. This SEN
timent is so strong, indeed, as to make
tariff reform the leading issue OF the
day. Republican organs can no longer
brighten American voters by calling
them "tariff-smashers" and business
killers" The only business to be
killed is the monopoly business, and
the only tariff to be smashed is the I'M
just Dingley tariff that has created
and maintained the monopoly business
at the sore cost of the people.

Troops HID an Active Day.
From daybreak the troops were
active in quelling disturbances and
protecting non-union men while on
their way to work. AS has been the
ease for the past few days, the
troops were jeered wherever they
went. The officers repeatedly admon-
ished the crowds not to insult or mo-
lest the soldiers, but their words had
but little effect. At five o'clock Com
panies X. and Z. were placed in two
trolley cars. One of the cars was
run in front of the ear which carried
other in the rear. While passing
through Coaldale and Lansford the
soldiers were hooted, but as no stop
was made, the strikers did not make
any violent demonstrations. At Sum.
nit Hill about double the usual mum.
Der of men availed themselves of the
protection of the soldiers and went
to work. The pickets of the strik-
ers made efforts to stop them, but
the warnings of the soldiers held
them at bay.
On the Return Trip.
When the workmen had been load
ed on to the cars, the return trip
through the valley commenced. The
word that more men than usual were
reporting for work speard through
the lower part of the valley like wild
fire and in a short time the streets
were almost blocked with people.
When the corner of Center and East
Bertsch streets was reached. the cars
stopped to allow several n%on-union
men to get off. AS the men stepped
to the ground the mob made a rush
for them. A h~alf-doZen soldiers
sprang off the car and with leyeled
guns forced the strikers back and
made a passageway for the n%on-union
men. When the soldiers returned
after escorting their charges to d
place of safety, the mob commenced
to close in around the cars.

and when ordered to dispense, merely

Some of the strikers, fearing that
the troops would fire, rushed into the
opera house on the corner, and for a
time a wild scene of confusion
reigned. In about five minutes the
crowd had been pushed back to the
curb line. In the melee several of the
strikers we're knocked down while
others suffered slight bayonet
wounds. Capt. Helm was severely
bruised by his fall.
