HAVE THEIR ISSUES PICKED.
The Tariff and the Trusts Fixed Upon
by the Democrats for the Com
Ing Campaign.

The democratic congressional cam
paign committee has decided to make
the tariff and the trusts the leading
issues in the campaign this year. That
will be regarded as good news by all
republicans, says the Cleveland Leader.
The tariff has always been winning
issue for the republicans, save in the
campaign of 1892, when the voters
listened to the seductive sophistry Of
the free traders and decided at the
polls to destroy prosperity. But they
learned lesson, as the result of that
election, which they are not likely to
forget. The dark and gloomy days
from 1893 to 1897, while the blight Of
the Wilson law was upon the country,
business was paralyzed and labor was
without remunerative employment,
demonstrated that protection cannot
be abandoned in the United States
without bringing distress upon the
people. The instant and tremendous
revival of business as a result of the
election of Mckinley and the enact
ment of the Dingley law, which re-
stored the protective policy, supplied
ample proof Of the value of protection
as a stimulus to industry and COM
merce. The democrats cannot this
year delude the people into voting for
an abandonment of the protective
policy.
Nor will they be enabled to make an
effective campaign on the trust issue.
The democratic record will not COM

DEAD DEMOCRATIC ISSUE.
Resurrection OF the AntiQuated
"Coercion" Argument for Use I'm
the Philippine Agitation.

A recent correspondence between
President Roosevelt and Rev. Charles
e. st. John, secretary of the
American Unitarian association, has
revived a phrase that was once pro-
life of an immense amount of dis
cussion. It is the word coercion"
as relating to the power of the
national government to prevent q
dissolution of the union or to sup
press rebellion, says the Indianapo-
lis Journal. The American Unitarian
association adopted a memorial pro-
testing against the policy of coercion
that was being used in the Philip
pines. In his reply the president
said:
There Is now almost no policy Of CO.
ercion' In the Islands, because the insurrec-
ton has been SO entirely overcome that.
save in very few places. peace-and with
peace the policy of Cancellation and good
wilr-obtains throughout the Philippines.
There has never been any coercion save
such as was absolutely inevitable in put
ting a stop to an armed attack upon the
sovereignty Of the United States which in
its last phases became mere brigandage."
It is somewhat surprising that the
democratic party, with its instructive
love for dead issues, has not before
this revived the able arguments
made before the beginning of the
civil war against the power OF
the national government to "coeree''
state. The democratic constitu-
tional lawyers of that day used bar
rels of ink and mountains of paper

in proving that inasmuch as the right
of a state to secede from the union
was inherent there could be no such
thing as a constitutional right of CO.
ercion in the federal government to
prevent such secession, and that a
union held together by force would be
no union at all. James Buchanan,
the last democratic president of the
old regime, thought state had a
right to secede, but it should not be
exercised lightly. "The election of
any one of our fellow-citizens to the
Office of president" he said, in his
annual message of 1860, "does not of
itself afford just cause of dissolv-
ing the unions In order to
justify a resort to revolutionary re-
sistance the, federal government
must be guilty of deliberate, pal
pable and dangerous exercise of pow
ers not granted by the Constitution"
It did not take Abraham Lincoln
long to discover that there was no
such thing in the list of state rights
as a right of secession, and that
while the word coercion did not oc-
cur in the Constitution it existed as
an inherent power of the govern
ment in very vital form. In his
first message to congress at the spe-
cial session in July, 1861, he said the
question was whether a constitu-
tional republic or democracy-a gov
eminent of the people by the same
people-can or cannot maintain its
territorial integrity against its own
domestic foes" Holding that the
right of self-preservation and of SOW
ereignity was above the Constitution,
he had no trouble in finding consti-
tutional power to coerce state.
The democratic anti-corecion doc
trine of 1860 was the natural fore
runner Of the opposition to govern
ment without the consent of the
governed in 1900. The same construc-
ton of the Constitution that would
have prevented the war for the pres
ervation of the union would have
prevented that for the suppression
of the insurrection in the Philinp-
pines. Coercion proved very effect
i've in one case, and IL is about to be
crowned with complete success in

Criminals, Grim Jests.

The callousness and even grim
humor of condemned criminals is
well exemplified by the following
stories: On walking to the scaffold
in solemn procession criminal once
called to the governor of the prison,
"Just obfige me, Guv'nor," he said,
"by telling nae the day O. the week?"
Monday" answered the surprised
governor. Monday" exclaimed the
prisoner in Disguised tones; swell,

on with disgust imprinted on every
line in his face.
On another occasion an officious
hangman whispered as he placed the
white cap on his victims head: IF

record in respect to trusts. The Sher-

be the only effective weapon that con-
gress can use against the big combina-
tions of capital, was framed by re-

gress, and signed by republican
president in 1890. For four years that
law stood in the statute books while
Grover Cleveland was president, yet 1t
was not once used to restrain trust.

general against the Joint Traffic ASSOC
citation and the Trans-Missouri Freight
association, which were formed to con-
troll trade among the states. It is now
being used by another republican at
torney general against other combina-
tions which are oppressive Of the peo-
pie.
The Sherman law goes as far as any
statute can, under the present limita-
tions of the constitution in the re-
straint of the operations of trusts. It
will be necessary to amend the con-
stitution so as to give congress great
er power IL more drastic legislation is
to be enacted. Yet, when constitu-
tional amendment was proposed in the
last republican congress, the demo-
Gratis opposed it solidly because they
were afraid that the rights of the
states might be invaded.

leans are willing to meet them, and
they will make the fight interesting

of the awful burden this country il
carrying. With 100000 of people
in the United States proper and
about 10,000,0O elsewhere Il Is now
supporting an army of $1,000 men.
Can this nation, though IL Is the
wealthiest in the world, stand the
expense? How much longer can It
struggle along? Oh, for those good
old days when with population Of
10, 100000 we had an army of only
100000 They have gone, gone with
the pristine virtue and the halcyon

were honest, all women virtuous and
