THE FLAG AS A sLINoFoLD.

The Washington correspondent of the Louisville
CourIerJournal wired his paper as follows
Washington, May 3o.--1he president made fairly good
stump speech Arlington today upon the occasion OF the

main points many before the election in Noycm-

Now, that is very ingenious plan of the repUo-
cans and quite in accordance with their long con-
tinued practice
The plan is ingenious because the Issue must be

If, our foreign policy our domestic policy
The republicans prefer to make 1t the former be-
defense of their party although a specous de-
Tense can be made by appealing to the patriotism OF
the people and it Is hoped that they be hoodwinked
and blindfoded with the flag. This is what Or. John
son meant when said Patriotism is the last refuge
OF a scoundrel,"
The of patriotism pleaded by Warren
Hastings. 1t was pleaded by Marus and sylla in
Client Rome. From time immemoriai tyrants, oppres-
and bloody minded men have attempted to justify
their evil deeds by the pretense OF patriotism the
claim that all has been done Of extraordinary love
OF country.
While the issue of imperialism its theory and It's
abuses in practice is issue in the coming campaign.
It is the only issue It is not the paramount issue
The greater issue is the domestic issue the question OF
the trusts and the tariff. Governmental reform, like
charity begins at nome our rSt duty rs to our neigh
bors fellow citizens our children who to come
after us, and ourselves AS Americans first duty
is to America. The great problem in America is that
OF the trusts and the tariff. Whether the republicans
will not the democrats purpose to make this the
main issue of the coming campaigns,
Now the attempt of the republicans to evade this

terstc of the party In campaign after campaign after

people have suffered too sharply from the eXactions

by their votes at election time, hut they will also stop
the American atrocities of the trusts in this country
