Republican leaders in Illinois are
greatly troubled over the apathy dis
played by the rank and file of their
party.
Meetings are held in the usual way
with all Of the ordinary attractions, but
the attendance is small and lifeless.
What can be the explanation?
A disinterested outsider might sug-
gest the idea that when a political par
ty once adopts the prize-package theory
it must not only continue the practice,
but it must constantly increasc the
number and the value of the gifts
which it dispenses.
The Republican campaign was OPEN
ed with a sort of lottery and grab-bag
vaudeville. The faithful are simply

Hiuh-Tariff Prosperity.

The United States and Canada are
two great countries with border line
5000 miles long. Naturally it might
be supposed that an economic system
that would benefit one would also ben
eft the other. Such, however, does not
appear to be the case, if the statesmen
in charge are to be believed.
The Republicans who are ~it'' in the
management of our trust ridden gov
eminent Are perfectly certain that the
prosperity which they talk so much
about Ito make sure that we have IT.
is due to our high protection policy,
inausurated five years ago. Canada
lowered her tariff duIiess about the time
we raised ours, and the statesmen
there are now creditlng their prosper
ity to these lower duties The Toronto
Globe says:
IF under any scale of duties The
industries of a country are prospecting.
higher duties cannot be justified even
on grounds of expedieney The coun-
try has now been for five years under
a tariff very considerably lower than
that which prevailed in the previous
seventeen years, period amply sufti-
cient TO test the efficacy of high pro
lection. The prosperity of our indus
tries under the low tariff has far ex-
ceeded that enjoyed under the high
tariff. That result is that the extreme
prOtectionistS are forced back upon
the idea of retaliation pure and simple.
The United States will lot buy our
goods as freely as we 6uy theirs.
Therefore we must cut down our
American imports until something like
equality is established. Germany has
made some foolish determinations
against Canadian wheat; we must,
therefore, aim to strike a blow at Ger
many. In this way the word protec-
ton loses its meaning. What is sought
is not the protection of our own indus
tries, but the injury of somebody else's.
This high tariff produces prosperity
in the United States and low tariff pro-
duces prosperity in Canada. Let well
enough alone and don't touch the high
tariff" say our Republican statesmen.
Let well enough alone and don
touch the low tariff, " say the Canadian
statesmen.
Verify this is a queer world and the
tariff is perplexing question! Is II
possible that five years of good crops
in both these countries and poor crops
in Europe have anything to do with
our prosperity? Is it certain that we
are prosperous at all, outside of the
protected trusts and the farming Sec
tions of the West? VIII not the trusts
soon have gobbled up all of the sur
plus prosperity even of these Western
farmers?

Pcnnsylvania.

The State of Pennsylvania is at pres
ent controlled By the associated iron,
steel and coal bandits, and the State
of Pennsylvania is therefore but an
other name for the criminals who man
age the coal roads and the coal mines.
The governor of Pennsylvania is a
wretched creature Of Matthew s. Quay
and his lawless associates. The Legis-
lature of Pennsylvania is an aggrega-
ton of eorruptionists representing both
political parties, who are in the pay
of the predatory scoundrelS who con-
troll the State. Many of the courts of
Pennsylvania are corrupt or cowardly,
some of them making no attempt to
conceal the fact that they get their
orders from the men who are masters
Of the industry and the politics of the
State. Elections in Pennsylvania are
conspicuous mockeries of free and
enlightened suffrage. Intimidation,
bribery and false returns are habitual.
Labor in Pennsylvania is the most
impoverished, degraded and brutalized
to be found anywhere on this hem
isphere. Nothing that America has
ever known equals the hopelessness
and the misery of a large percentage
of the labor of Pennsylvania. The sla-
very of the coal mines has had no
counterpart in the United States since
the days of negro bondage, and even
that infamy did not anywhere reduce
so many people in one congested dis
trict to such abject penury anu Woe
Pennsylvania began its career as a

The realization of the Democratic
platform depends absolutely upon the
election of Democratic members of
Congress.
Only through Democratic Congress-
men can the anthracite coal question
be permanently settled.

tlves, to be elected this fall, depends
the real work of the Democratic party
The coal trust, the beef trust and
every trust which abuses the power
of organization with the aid of tariff
or through railroad monopoly can be
attacked successfully only through the
Congress of the United States.
1t is with Congress that the trusts
must reckon. Ii is the election of Con-
gressmen that most interests the trusts
ut this moment.
1t is in hope of electing Republican
Congressman to perpetuate the present
trust paradise that the President has
been stamping the country. 1t is TO
the defeat of Democratic Congressman
that the trusts viii most willingly de
vote their resources in this coming
campaign.
The election of Democratic Congress
men this year can alone give reality to
the ideas which the Democratic plat
form expresses-and the election of
Democratic Congressman can alone dis
turb the tariff-fortifed serenity of the
trusts.
Congress alone can make effective
the demands of the Democrats.

Taking a Brutal ADVANTAGE.

There is no more reason why the price
of soft coal should be $3.50 a ton to-day
than there was before the anthracite
strike began, when it was $3.50 ton.
Wages Of soft coal miners have not
been increased. Transportation to tide
water or to the West costsano more.
More soft coal is being mined than be-
fore, ana there is practically no limit to
the amount that can be mined or to the
amount that can be transported. The
simple truth IS that a base advantage
is being taken by the soft coal trust to
swindle the people by extor,ing over
three times the ordinary price from
them. BROOKLYN Citizen.
