Effective Rrexity.

The last word has not been spo-
ken regarding the benefits and advan-
tages of the protection policy. Repre-
sentative Campbell of Kansas, proved
that something new and strong in the
way of condensed fact might be said
when. In his recent speech, he de-
clared:
The policy of protection has pre-
served the American market for the
products of American manufacturers,
and American manufacturers have
made markets for the products of
American farmers. and together they
have established the high standard
of living and made possible a high
scale of American wages"
The case has seldom been so effect
lively stated in so few words. 1t tells
a great story in a very short space.

The "PivotaI" States.

Judge Parker now has instructed
delegations from New York, Indiana,
and Connecticut, and the New Jersey
delegation, though uninstructed, is ad-
verse to Hearst. Taking the four
states that we have named together,
it would seem that their action must
be definite as regards Hearst, since
they are the old pivotal states. With
out them no Democrat can possibly
win. This is so well understood that
their course will exert an enormous
influence in the South, and it has the
sympathy of the Democrats Of the Re-
publican states of the East. The
Massachusetts delegation, which is in
structed for Olney, will not go to
Hearst under any circumstances. His
support must come principally from
Mr.. Bryan's old populistic following in
the West. It's convention strength is
thus very clearly limited, and its in
fiuence will be lessened because of the
fact that the West is overwhelmingly
Republican.

example, as the following:
THE Republican party has been a
consistent party throughout its career,
and it stands to-day for the three
great policies for which it stood at its
birth, and during its every year of ex-
istence since Those three policies
are Liberty, Honor and Progress.
Equal liberty for every man, woman
and child under the shelter of our
flag; liberty to live, liberty to toll
and liberty to acquire Honor-in a
standard of value, and money of re-
demption, equal to the highest known
among nations; honor pay in full
every obligation; honor-to redeem
every promise. implied, spoken or
written. Progress-not only of our
own people, as has been shown in an
elevation of the masses to the high
est standard of living attained by any
people of the human race; as shown
in the development of our public
school system, of our literature and
its distribution, of our labor laws and
takings throughout the length and
breadth of the land; progress-not
alone in the elevation OF the people
of the United States, but in the ad-
vancement of every people and every
country where our influence is felt;
progress-not only in material up
building, but in a mental and moral
elevation as well.

The Democrats and the Trusts.

The Democrats and the Trusts.
1.-THE tariff is the mother of trusts"
will undoubtedly be the Democratic
war cry in the national campaign.
And, with any conservative Democrat
as presidential candidate, the party
will not lack a campaign fund. The
trusts which it processes to attack will
see to that
Such is the seemingly impossible
paradox which the political situation
now presents. Organizations of CAPT
tai are preparing. if it viii give them
the man they want, to support party
protesting to be filed with zeal to
destroy them. Yet when few facts
are remembered it is seen that the
trusts will be taking only the line of
self-preservation and self-aggrandize-
ment.
The men at the head of the great
typical combinations, such as the
United States Steel and Standard Oil
companies, feel that they no longer
need the tariff in their business.
They believe that they have reached
such a position that they need not
fear foreign competition. They are
confident of their ability to deal with
that in other ways.
competition. meeting them in the
home market and keeping up wages,
and able to do these things because
it is protected from foreign competition
by the tariff. And, furthermore, they
dislike the president because he has
insisted that no man or body of men
can be or become so great as to be
above the laws of the American peo-
pie.
The heads of the great trusts real
ize that political platforms count for
nothing, and that laws count for very
little, unless the men elected to Office
on those platforms are resolved to en-
force those laws. What they want is
not different laws. but a different man
in the White House-a man who is
not merely rigidly fair to them, but
is complaisantly friendly to them.
That is why the Democratic party,
if it will but give the trusts the man
they want, no matter what it's plat
form, will not lack for campaign
funds. 1t remains to be seen, how
ever, whether the American people
can be fooled by the Democratic trust
alliance now visibly forming.
