Sneaker Henderson has prccipitated a
crisis in the politics OF the nation, and
has brought both parties face to face
with the questions Of tariff and trusts
OF course, he ,s opposed to trusts"
Who ever saw a politician who was not?
Ru. Mr. Eenderson's idea is to give
them every advantage OF tariff and then
negotiate with them by national legis-
lat,on He is even bolde rthan President
Roosevelt Mt Henderson thinks that
he r. out OF line with the Republicans
Of Iowa. or rather that they are out
OF line with him. but be that as it may,
NO has declared the doctrine OF the Re-
publican party OF the nation. That party
believes in high protection and IN gov
crnmens control OF everything. Mr..
Henderson's pronouncement is bold, but
he has declared the true position OF his
party, and in so doing he has done the
country a valuable service.
The people now know what to expect
from the Republicans. That party will

Mr.. Henderson has frankly declared
the doctrine, and we repeat, he has

Will meet II willingly and with enthu-
raasm. Democracy is opposed to the
principle Of protection, especially when
by the practical application of it trusts
are fostered and kept out of competition
with foreign trusts. Democracy Is also
opposed TO Capitalization. Democracy is
ready to meet Republicanisn on that
score every day in the year.
It Is high time that the Democrats
Of this nation were aroused MF. HEN

lions Of the government. but with power

cornorations abroad, and with the deter

things. how long would 1t take for the
government to enter into combination
with the corporations and form league
offensive and defensive?
we should then have the most power
full and the most dangerous combine ever
dreamed of in this free country and no.
thing short of revolution would over
throw it.
The Times does not believe that the
country is in immediate danger of such
n combine. but we say it in all conser-
yatisn tina tit is the logical and inevi-

pushed to fnanty. Mr.. Henderson has
laid down the principle, and in the view
of Democracy it is vicious and threaten

enough to alarm the Democrats of the
whole country and bring them together

Richmond is really remarkable. The
strangest part of it is that SO many are
Of the opinion that it has been made very
difficult for any man to register, and
because Of this supposed difficulty they
don't present themselves to the regis
trar. There are hundreds Of people who
are anxious to register. but in some way
they have gotten the idea in their heads
that before they can do so they must
stand some kind Of tedious and diff
cult examination, and this they dread.
This, of course, is all mistake. On
the contrary, the fact is that it is much
easier to get your name on the registra-
ton books now than it will ever be here
after
The newspapers have urged the people
to attend to this most important duty,
and they will continue to do so. but
something else must be done. Party
managers will have to take the matter
in hand and get the voters to the Office
Of the registrar, the same means they
