The Issue Is Hunting Themr

Where is there a better campaign
document for the summer and autumn
of 1902, the marvellous year in the his
tory of Americas material progress,
than the speech on prosperity which
Senator Gallinger delivered about a
week before Congress adjourned?
Therein are the figures, therein are
the statistics of production, consump-
ton and wealth which prompt DR.. Gal
linger to say:
Every man. woman and child in the
United States is equal to ten persons
outside of the United States, particu-
larly as consumers of our own and the
worlds products of agriculture, min
ing and manufacture. The farm labor
ers of Europe do nine times the work
and get double the result OF the farm
laborers of the United States. That
is, it takes four and one-hah Euro
peans to equal one American. Extend
the comparison to Asia and Africa and
we find that the average United states
producer is equal to ten the Worlo
over, outside of our country. Inc
comparison is emphasized by our coal
consumption and steam power, ana
finally by our products of manu1ac-
ture We are to-day practically indie
pendent of the rest of the earth In a
few years we shall raise our own SUI
gar and fibers, manufacture our own
silk, and, in fact, we shall produce al
most everything used by mankind The
conclusion, then, is warranted that In
another generation, if the present sys
tenn of protection is continued, the
people of the United States will equal
or surpass in production, consumption
| and wealth the peoples of the rest OF
| the world combined"
Here is DIR. Gallinger's diagnosis Of
the political situation:
"Our friends on the other side are
| looking for an issue. They need no
worry, the issue is looking for them
| Prosperity is the issue, and all othel
questions are secondary"
Whether they find an issue or not
| this issue is sure to find them no

The Hunt for an Issue.

The Democrats are afraid to tackle
the tariff question outright again. The
memory of the dark days from 1898 TO
1897, and of the mongrel measure
which President Cleveland refused to
sign and was afraid to veto, is still too
fresh in the peoples minds. The state
ment issued after the caucus or house
Democrats in Washington last Friday
night, although designed to confuse
voters on leading questions, makes toll
erably clear the policy they have de-
cided on. They intend to attack the
tariff from behind the trust and Cuban
reciprocity breastworks- They know
the people remember the Wilson-Gor-
man law, but they hope they have Tor
gotten that the Democrats were de-
nouncing the tariff as the mother OF
trusts" before they enacted this meas
ure. The scheme will not work. Inc
country has not yet exculpated the
Democracy for its disastrous antl-tarln
work of the past. The dlscredlted
party is in a crystal maize and 1t Will
think it has found a way out many

Innnicration Laws.

dumped into this country IN the
month of May. They were mostly
from Southern Europe and of a class
the United States can get along with

On the foregoing the Ackley Qowa)
World comments without blush:
1.-THE Republican party rejected the
immigration law proposed by the
Democrats"
A few years ago Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts introduced far strict
or immigration law, but the Demo
Gratis raised such a howl against 1t
that they induced just enough Repub-
licans to oppose it to defeat the ex-
cellent measure. Moreover, at the
last session of Congress the Repub-
icans strenuously endeavored to
enact more stringent immigration
laws. and especially to prohibit the
immigration of anarchists, but such
was the opposition by Democrats that
they would not allow the bill to pass.

REPUBLICANS READY
WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY
FOR NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
Unlike the Democratic Party the Re-
pubIicans are Practically United on
All Great Questions and Have
Record to be Proud of.

Senator Vest is not the only Demo
crat who sees more of party danger
than advantage in the election OF
Democratic House next fall MI vest
argues that the Democratic majority
in the House. with other branches OF
the government in Republican hands,
could do nothing more than block the
wheels, and merely obstructive tactics
usually bring upon a party serious
weight of public odium- The Judg-
ment of Senator Vest on this point,
based on long experience in Congress,
will not be disputed The Philadelphia
Ledger, whose political position is
that of the Cleveland Democrats, re-
marks on the same subject: -Far-see-
ing Democrats will be very well
pleased if the Republicans should re-
main in control of the House by re-
duced majority, as they will then be
wholly responsible for whatever may
happen in the two years that Will
eIapse before the next Presidential
election.
Republicans are not afraid of that
responsibility. They court it, They
have shaped national policies for forty
years, except during brief period IN
Cleveland's second administrator,
when both branches of Congress were
Democratic. The Wilson-Gorman tar
if law was passed at that time, Dut
both Cleveland and Wilson regarded
it as a misshapen thing, and the coun-
try knows that it was disastrous
failure At all other periods since
1861, when one party held the reins,
1t was a Republican era, and to them
must be credited the legislative
achievements of more than a third
of a century. From present appear
ances the Republican majority vii
be increased in the next House ano
the obstructive tendencies or the
Democratic party will be d1splayec

Champion Steak Eater.

At a beefsteak dinner given recent
ly at Palm Garden, Greene and Ham
burg avenues, among few friends,
Michael Schmidt, cigar manufac-
turer, and Herman Hochwart, one OF
the proprietors of the garden, entered
into a contest as to who had the best
appetite, the contest being for hand
some umbrella, says the Brooklyn
Times The others at dinner watched
the contest with much enjoyment
The referee selected was Frank Ross,
a partner of Hochwart, who claims
to be the champion steak eater OF
the country. The contestants started
off eating three dozen Little Neck
clans, six plates of chowder, three
small loaves of rye bread, and then
the steaks were tackled. When Hoch-
wart had finished seven and half
pounds of steak he withdrew from
the contest, for Schmidt had just
finished eight pounds. The umbrella
was then awarded to Schmidt amid
much applause. Each of the contest
ants also drank several bottles of ale.

Divided Democrats.

Even If there were some virtue In
a tariff issue how would the Demo
Gratis reap the benefit. How do they
stand upon it? What do they advo-
cate? They spent the entire session
of Congress in fighting over the
Philippine question, but they formula
ted no policy. Every one knows how
the Republicans stand, for they have
enacted their tariff views in the Ding
ley bill. But who knows where the
Democracy stands? Their only con-
crete PRONUNCIATION is the Wilson-Gor-
man bill, a bill characterized by Presf-
dent Cleveland as a measure of per-
fidy and dishonor. Do they want to
go before the country with that?
Among their leaders are Messrs. Tel
Ter, Patterson, Dubois and German
who are all outright Protectionists.
Will they follow them? On the other
hand are Henry Watterson, Mr.. Bryan
and most of the Southern Senators,
who are outright free-traders. Will
sne Democracy follow them? And
rgain there are many trimmers like
senator Jones of Arkansas, D. B. Hill
Of New York, and their following, who
are trimmers. Will the Democracy
follow them? And if it follows any

A Stronu Position.

The only objection Republicans
would have to the bringing forward
of the tariff as the grand issue of the
next campaign would be that it would
make the fight too easy for them. The
object lesson of the past six years, as
compared with those of the preceding
four. would render very little of the
customary debate necessary. The tar
iff is an issue wherein the Republican
marty is too well fortified to make the
discussion interesting.-St- Paul Pic
