Letter with 100000 stolen.

WHEELING, W. Va, Sept. 26.-It
has leaked out here through postoflice
officials that the postofiice Mt Woods
Yield, o., thirty miles southwest of
Wheeling, WAS robbed of a registered
letter which contained 100000 con
signed from New York bankers to
Woodstield people. The receipt of the
package was supposed to have been
known only TO the postOtfice people.
The robbers secured entrance through
back door, extracted the package
from the safe and made good their es-
cape. BlOodhounds have been used to
track the robbers without success. and
the postottice inspectors are now on
the scene.

Here are the two extremes of doc
trine. The Republican, view is that
protection is a cardinal principle and
that II guards and develops domestic
industries. The Democratic view is an
absolute negation: Protection is rob
berry of the many to enrich the few.
The two propositions are entirely anti
thetlc
If protection, in the belief of the
Democratic party, is robbery by
which a few are enriched while the
general mass is plundered, why, then,
protection is an outrage and crime
which the Democratic party will at the
earliest opportunity undertake to sup
press with stern and implacable rigor
namely, by the prompt repeal of all
protective features of our tariff system.
OF course the Democratic party will do
this. II must
Again, It will be noted that two to-
tally different theories and purposes
govern the principles which the two
parties profess as to the function Of a
tariff The Republican design Is that
the rate OF duty should always be high
enough to cover the difference In pro
duction cost here and in countries
where labor earns one-half or one-third
the wage that prevails in our own
country-that is TO say. the duty should
be adequately protective.
Not so the Democratic design-quite
the reverse. The tariff is TO be 80 regu-
lated as to supply the needs Of the
government, economically administered
"a nonprotective tariff, tariff for rev
enue Being a tax merely. II is to be
so levied as not to discriminate
against any industry, class or section,
to the end that the burdens of taxation
shall be distributed as equally as pos
sible."
In the light of the declaration that
protection is robbery" which does dis
criminate between classes and sections
and which does distribute the burdens
of taxation with criminal inequality,
we are led irresistibly to the conclusion
that the two parties, In fact, We're new
er wider apart as regards spirit and IN
tention in the treatment of the tariff"
1t would be well to discard the delu-
sion that In the platform adopted at
st. Louis the Democratic party has
shown itself 10 be sane, safe and con-
sentative on the tariff question. Let
no one indulge himself in this halluci-
nation. Hatred of protection has never
been stronger and the purpose to abol-
ish protection has never been more set
tied in. the minds of the Democratic
party than at this moment.

The tariff issue has never been more

than 1t is in the national campaign Of

parties seem ut Il casual glance to have
