TARIFF AND MONEY
If One Standard Is Established, why Not
the Other?

Why should not the protective tariff
! established" as the Democratic party
and it's candidate for the presidency
comedies the gold standard to be?
The gold standard was advocated by
the Republican party, and on this issue
the country went Republican by an
overwhelming majority The question
of tariff or free trade, and tariff reform
and revision, has been the issue in sew
eral national campaigns, and the peo-
pie by their votes decided finally that
the protective tariff principle should
prevail and that this country should be
recognized as favoring and supporting
protection and not free trade. The
Democratic party was placed in power
and given the opportunity of demon
strating the fallacy of it's free trade or
tariff for revenue-only policy, and the
result was SO disastrous that the peo-
pie gladly returned to protection at the
first opportunity, and refused to Elk
PERTINENT WITH FREE SILVER.
The legislation by congress fixing the
gold standard was in accordance with
the demand of the people, as expressed
by their votes They, the people, have
just as firmly expressed their prefer
ence for protection. Neither currency
nor tariff legislation is so firmly enact
ed that the laws could not be changed
by congress IL the people demanded
their revision, and the only reason that
the Democratic party is attempting to
make the tariff an issue in this cam
paign is that they hope the people have
forgotten their sad experience under
the Wilson-Gorman Democratic tariff
bill. After the votes are counted in
November, the Democrats will find
that the people who by their votes rule
this country consider the protective
policy as well as the gold standard
firmly and irrevocably established as
cardinal principles

Democratic Tariff Revision.

How does the Democratic party pro-
pose to deal with the tariff? Does it
say: "We assent to the principle of
protection and ask the people of the
United States to commit to our hands
the revision of the tariff in conformity
with that principle?" Far from it. 1t
avOws it's unrelenting hostility to the
principle of protection and asks the
people to put in it's hands the revision
of the tariff in order that it may re-
wise protection out of it and repeat
the experiment of Grover Cleveland's
second administration. According to
Mr.. Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, that admin
istration put 100000 American work
ingmen to walking the streets and
without bread for their families. That
is the kind Of tariff reform revision
the Democratic party proposes.

ONLY those on the inside know the
object of the promoters of the electric
line between Kenosha and Waukegan
in permitting the circulation of the
stories to the effect that there is a
strong probability of the road being
built west of the Northwestern track.
The company is going right on per-
fecting the titles to the land already
secured for the right of way east of
the tracks and fencing it in and it is
hardly likely that the company would
keep on spending more money on this
route if it was the intention to aban-
don it altogether. The only exp1ana-
ton of all the rumors that suggests
itself is that all this talk is for the
benefit of the few obstinate property
owners who have stood out against
the Establishments of the con1pany's
agents and refused to sell a right of
way through their property, at what
the company considers a reasonable
figure. AS a matter of fact the owners
of the lands east of the Northwestern
tracks could much better afford to
give the road right of way than let
it &C elsewhere. The promoters know
this as we'll as anybody and they may
be trying a little bluff.

Not on the Mourner's Bench.

1t is hard, this year, for the Demo
Gratis to get the American people up
to the mourner's bench. Brer Parker
may give forth ominous platitudes, mis-
fits for the times, every one of them.
Br'er Hill may shrek, gesticulate. get
red in the face and pound the rostrum;
Grandpa Davis may groan lugubrious-
~, but all to no effect.
Prosperous, happy, content and
proud, the United States of America is
doing very well, and does not care to
change it's policy just now.
Looking back upon the past eight
years, the people see nothing in the
conduct Of national affairs to be sorry
for. They do see much to be thank
full for. President Roosevelt for three
years has guided the nation along
pleasant paths, and all it asks is to
have him continued at it's head for
four years more. "There's luck in odd
numbersw

Nobody Scared.

Parker says if he is elected he will
cut off the old soldiers age disability
pension by reyOking order 49, But the
old soldiers don't seem to be the least
bit scared!
Parker says he is in favor of pro
ceeding with due diligence in con
structing the Panama CANAL but he
thinks the Roosevelt way was "source
of regret to many" But Roosevelt is
not troubled.
And Parker says that the manage.
ment of our foreign affairs has sex
cited serious apprehension" in some
quarters. But the American people
are not among the apprehensive.
Then, Parker is in a bad way about
imperialism" but the citizens of the
United States only smile when they
hear that word.
Also, Parker is distressed over the
poor Filipinos, but the Filipinos con
hnue to learn to read, write and
cypher, while they live on three meals
a day and ''talk American"

MESSMER DECLINES.
Archbishop Refuses to Debate
With Socialists and Gives
Il = = His Reasons.

In reply to a challenge to publicly
discuss the principles of Socialism
with Victor L. Berger and Winfield
+. Gaylord, candidate for congress
on the Social Democratic ticket,
Archbishop Messmer has written the
following letter, which leaves no
doubt of the attitude of the Catholic
clergy towards Socialism,:
''Your letter inviting me to a public
discussion of Socialism has t3been
duly received, and beg to thank you
for the courtesy shown in your invi-
tation. Permit me to say in reply
that do not believe in spub1ic dis
cussions or debates and have never
yet been able to see the usefulness or
efficiency of such debates. My inn
preston is that the audience leaves
the hall with exactly the same ideas,
prejudices or convictions which they
had before.
Moreover, discussion on Socialism
between Catholic and a Socialist
seems entirely unnecessary. AS re-
CARDS the purely economic questions
advanced by Socialism Catholic is
not forbidden from adopting their
theories, at least most of them, if
not all. It is the SociaIistic doctrines
touching matters of religion, ethics
and natural laws that the Catholic
church opposes. Upon these there
can be no discussion for Catholic, as
the question is settled for him by the
church which he recognizes as the
supreme authority in matters of re-
1igion and morality.
Some Socialists may be inclined to
deny the fact that Socialism teaches
anything contrary to Catholic belief or
that its spirit is in anything oppos-
ed to the church. But where is the
use of disputing about fact which
can easily be established and proofs
of which can easily be found in Cath
Ollie as we'll as Socia1istic literature?
You will, therefore, pardon me if
for the reasons stated I decline to ac-
cept your invitation. Could I per-
suade myself that a public discussion
of this kind would do any good what
ever, I should not hesitate to meet
you on the platform, feeling quite
assured of receiving from you the
courtesy due among gentlemen.

AFTER NAVAL RECRUITS.

Milwaukee will be made perman-
ent naval recruiting station as well
as an army recruiting station. On
March 8, 1901, the period of enlist
ment in the navy was changed from
four to five years, and as the term of
the men who enlisted then will be up
next year, there will be many vacan-
cies to fill. Two new battleships are
also under construction and will re-
quire many additional men. For
these reasons the naval board has de-
cided to open number of recruiting
stations throughout the country and
the fact that Milwaukee has always
furnished. a high standard of men for
the navy had much to do with the de-
cision to locate station in Milwau.

The Democratic presidential candi
date says, in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods
of diplomacy; that is, he has departed
from the old style, believes in a
straightforward expression Of exact
ly what the attitude Of this nation is
and does not hesitate to say that this
nation is quite prepared to take care OF
itself.
Well, what would you have? Are
we not great nation, practically Gov
ering with our Canadian brothers, a
great continent and quite prepared
not merely to suggest but to assist in
the affairs of the world? And is il
not duty?
Why does ex-Judge Parker, David
Bennett Hills ex-political manager
object to this?

IN the Philippines let us remember
that the spirit and not the mere form
of government is the essential mat
ter. The Taga1ogs have hundred
fold the freedom under us that they
would have if we had abandoned the
islands. We are not trying to subju-
gate people; we are trying to
develop them and make them law
abiding, industrious, and educated
people, and we hope ultimately a
self-governing people. In short, in
the work we have done we are but
carrying out the principles of our
Democracy. We work in spirit of
se1f-respect for ourselves and of good
will toward others, in a spirit of love
for and infinite faith in mankind.
We do not b1ind1y refuse to face the
evils that exist or the shortcomings
inherent in humanity; but across
laundering and shrinking, across
se1fshness and meanness of motive,
across shortsightedness and coward
ice we gaze steadfastly toward the
far horizon of golden triumphs.

Electsa Republican House.

Nearly every American citizen who
will vote for president in the coming
election will also vote for a represent
ative in congress. 1t is to be hoped
that no Republican will fail to vote for
the Republican candidate for congress
in his district. While the national
honor and the public welfare demand
the election of President Roosevelt,
and while the reasons for his election
are overwhelming and unanswerable,
those for the election of a Republican
house of representative are equally
SO. With Democratic house Mr..
Roosevelt would be almost helpless to
carry out the great Republican policies
to which he is committed. No Repub-
l1can should be induced by any con-
sideration not to vote for the Repub-
lican candidate for congress in his dis
trict.

Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for In.
augurating the Service.
When Democrats assert that their
party is the father" of rural free de-
livery, they willfully misstate the facts.
1t is charity to call their assertion a
plain falsehoo6, for it is a deliberate
lie, uttered with the intention to de-
ceive many persons. Rural free deliv-
cry had it's origin under the Harrison
adF~ Illustration, and Postmaster Gen.
e1&l Wanamaker was it's father" He
proposed and established the first ex-
perimental route When the Demo
Gratis came into power, under President
Cleveland. they did everything posi-
BILE to kill rural free delivery; in
fact, they absolutely refused to expend
any of the $4,000 congressional appro-
priation for it's nourishment, and both
Postmasters General Bissell and Will
son, in their annual reports, did their
utmost to disredit it. President Cleve-
land also threw cold water ON it in a
hostile message to congress. When Nc.
K1nley became president, rural free de.
livery was pushed to the front as Re
publican policy. This policy has been
continued under President Roosevelt,
until now there are about 800 routes
in operation. No farmer need be de-
ceived by Democracy's false claims
for the record shows that to Republic
ans alone belong the credit of inau-
eurat1ng and fostering mail service
that is of incalculable benefit to rural
communities.

Democratic legislation has never
erected factory, or given working.
man a job, or increased his wages. On
the contrary it has put out factory
fires that Republican legislation had
lighted; it has closed mills that Repub-
lican Legislation had opened, and it has
taken jobs from thousands of working
men to whom Republican legislation
had given employment. No American
workingman owes anything to the
Democra tic party.

Since 1896, the last year of Demo
cratic administration in national af-
fairs, the rate Of interest on farm mort
cages has fallen from per cent. to 6.
This reduction in the rate of interest
means a great deal to farmers who
borrow money to buy more land or to
make improvements, and it is due to
Republican prosperity.

FAILING TO FALL
SAVED LIVES OF PLAYERS.

.'The simple fact that the curtain
did not descend entirely was what
saved the lives of the company, al
though it caused such a horrible
catastrophe in the front of the house.
After the curtain had refused to de-
scend, there came the explosion Of
the gas tanks and with the curtain
down. all the fire and gas would have
been confined between the rear wall
of the theater and the f%reproof cur
tain in front. Under these circum-
stances. it would not have been posi-
BILE for a single member of the COM
pany to escape alive unless in front
of the door leading into the alley. AS
it was, the draft carried all the gas
and fire out beneath the curtain, and
the company was saved, although
ther salvation was the death of so
many poor people in 'front.'"
Rarely in the history of Chicago has
it's people been SO stirred IS by the
