Decline of Populism.

Indianapolis News.
 Populism has in truth seen its best the Grange. the Greenback Party, the Farmers Alliance, and 1t has followed them into oblivion: Of course. the Populist Party will have successors, on new life when times get hard again for it seems to be necessary to the hap piness of certain people that there shall be calamity party. Populists always and often amusing. Had 1t not been for them many a gifted cartoonist would have had to so out Of business. When We recall the solemn Peffer. the and others equally remarkable, though less famous, we realize how much joy faded from life with their disappear ance. And the things these men were going to do! We were to have billions of irredeemable currency, loans to the farmers on their, crops, government store houses, government ownership of railroads and telegraphs the free and unlimited coinage of silver, etc. The program was ambitious, and the men advocating 1t were earnest and enthu- siastic-but they attempted the impos- sible.
 And now we have reached the end of the movement. It was killed by prosperity. There are of course indi- vidual Populists still surviving. But as an organized political force the Pop
 
 influence. It Is we'll that 1t should be so. For we believe that by their ex- travagance and radicalism the Popu- lists have actually impeded the cause of political reform in the United States. Most of our people realized that the measures they advocated never could and never ought to be adopted, all though the evils to which they called attention were. many of them, real. In the hard times of dozen years ago the farmers of the far West did suffer from railroad extortion and discrimi- nation and from scarcity of money They were burdened with debt and their distress was keen. But the rem. edies were not government control of railroads, nor loans to the farmers, nor a flood of worthless money
 Now the farmers have worked their way out of their troubles and conse- quently Populism has lost its hold on them. What we need now Is a proper regulation of the railroads, lower tax es, economical government, better dis tribution of currency, and credit through an extension of banking facll- itiesSall exceedingly modest, but very practical reforms. Populism has fail ed, failed even as protest.

Not Meeting Financial Expectations-fundi
 for Indiana Scarce.
 Special to Pittsburg Post
 Indianapolis.-The Indiana Republicans have been emphaticaliy turned down by the National committee in the matter of funds for the coming campaign. Chairman Goodrich, of the State committee, wrote to the National committee at Chicago the oth- CT day appealing for money In reply Mir Goodrich received the following let ter:
 'It was understood that when the Repub- lican National convention handed Senator Fairbanks the Vice Presidential nomina- tion that the senator would attend to the partys needs in Indnana, and that the National committee would not lose sleep about the financing of the Indiana cam paign. This was the understanding with the close friends of Senator Fairbanks. who urged his nomination for the vice presiden- cy upon the friends of President Roosevelt More than this 1t was understood that the papers in Indiana controlled by Senator Fairbanks would give loyal and unstinted suppor 10 the administration throughout the campaign and back up Roosevelt un- flinchingly."
 Senator Fairbanks has not come up to the requirements of the National committee up to the present in the matter of providing the finances for the Indiana campaign. One of the papers he controlled has gone out of existence. and the support of the other IS not very strong.

The Democrats had no organization in Vermont. and what little there was in Maine was in operation less than three weeks. No one. who was inform ed on the subject expected any decrease in the Republican vote fin Vermont. There is very little change in population and just as little in sentiment. Democrats year by year put up ticket which Is regularly defeated by vote of two or three to one. In Maine. however. the Democrats scored a distinct success Their vote over that of 1900 was in- creased over 30 per cent. while the Republican increase Is far less than that The same relative increase in Democratic votes in Indiana would give that State to Parker by a decided ma jority.

Econemy and Reform.

In a speech to the editors, Judge Par ker said
 During MT. Clevelands first term the average annual expenditure was about s269. .0o0, 600. For the past three years It has been about $519,000,0 900. The Governmental expenditures last yedf mounteu up to $5s2, 0O0,0 900, which IS not eoualed by any year since the Civll War with the exception of the year of the Spanish War.
 There is an inevitable result to such e%traVagance. Instead of a surplus in the annual receipts of about $S0, 0O0, 900 which the present ExecutiveB found on assuming control, there Is now deficit to be found there of $42.000sSO0.

PROSPERITY" CRY A BOOMERANG
Some Facts as to the Effects of the
 Dingley Tariff.

New York Herald.
 The school boy whips his taxed top: the beardless youth manages his taxed horse with a taxed bridle upon a taxed road; the dying Englishmnn. pourir" his medicine. which has paid IS per- cent. filings himself upon a chintz Dtu. which has paid 22 per cent, and expires in the arms of an apothecary who has privilege of putting him to death. Sydney Smith, 1920.
 In the present dull stage of the Pres idential contest one Is reminded by Re- publican Orators of Sydney Smiths fa- nous satire upon the extravagant claim of Protectlonists in the tariff ridden England of 1920. The great British es. sayist, it is true. was in dense and pitt able ignorance of the profound eco. homie law discovered by modern Amer : ican apostles of imperlalistic "protec- tion" that the prosperity of a nation keeps pace with the increase of the bur all its people. As at Waterloo Napo . Icons battle pivoted around Hougo- mont, SO In this great political conflict the imperialistic managers of Mir. Roosevelts campaign have centered and staked their fight on the supreme issue of tariff created prosperity.
 It Is needless to reproduce the words of these apostles of protectionism. as with their vociferous contention. Ev erybody has heard for years how tho golden harvests of America were pro- duced by the magic power of "protec- ton" how our vast railroad system has grown up under the creative forces of Republican tariffs, and, above all, how by the same occult but benign legisla ton; the exportation and sale in foreign markets of our domestic manufactures have increased beyond the widest flights of imagination.
 In the searching light of official sta tistics all these Republican claims are exploded and shattered. As shown by
 The Statistical Abstract of the United States. for 1903." the average annual Increase lin our exports of domestic mainufactures dncluding mineral oils ana copperl during the six years from 1898 to 1904--a period In which the enormously high Dingley tariff of inc Republican party has been in operation was only 26,95S.046. But. during the three complete years in which the lower ton the average annual increase in our exports of domestic manufactures was $S1 1,22e,S96. Under the whitening infiu, ence upon our manufacturing industries or Republican high tariffs from 1874 to 1894, the average annual increase in our exports of domestic manufacturers was the beggarly sum of only $4,56S,743. This startling showing of the Govern ments statistics Is made still more crushing to the Republican orators and spellbinders if we compare the exports or our domestic manufactures during the ten year period from 1850 to 1860 In which the low domestic Democratic walker tariff was in operation. with tho corresponding exports in the ten-year period from 1880 to 1890. whom the high Republican tariffs were in operation.
 In the latter decade. under the trade restricting influence of high duties, our exports of domestic manufactures tn- creased only 46.9 per cent but. with the

The Partridge. Washington Star.

The partridge has long been in fa- vor as breakfast food, and as splcn- did nourishment for the sick and well. but he is now coming into wide favor and renown as the farmers friend. He is candidate for the high perch of national bird. His partisans assure us that he Is a stout ally of the Ameri- can husbandman, and much more ac- tive defender of American agriculture and prosperity than the proud, high flying eagle. Ornithologists who, un- der government auspices, have been studying the partridge. say that he Is a winner. Only about one-fourth of his food is grain, 19 per cent corn. 5 per cent wheat, and the balance mill let barley. sorghum. rye and oats. He does not steal this but gathers 1t after it has been lost in the field. He never pulls up sprouted grain after the fash ion of the crow. He does not rob orchards. though he Is fond of fruit. eating wild grapes, dewberries and wild strawberries. His long suit Is as weed seed and insect eater. He is a glutton for seeds of the smart weed. pig weed sheep sorrel and rag weed :. He has a passion for the potato bug. the ladybird bug. the chinch bug, the bean beetle. cucumber beetle. boil wee viii caterpillar, cut worm. army worm, wire worm. cotton worm, locust and other crop destroyers. In many States the partridge Is now being taken into close communion by the farmers in- stead of being treated as an outlaw. May he flourish and multiply.

The cheekiest proposition that has come, even from Tom Watson. is his invitation to all Democrats who voted for Bryan in 1900 because they believed in him and his theories to desert Par ker and vote for Watson.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1e, 1904.
A POINTER.

We have had occasion recently to
 talk with a number of Republicans from
 different Northern States. What they , feature. They are perfectly confident of success and to man express a dread as to what Roosevelt may do if elected. One of these Republicans found comfort in a conversation he had had , with a distinguished Western Senator who is generally credited after Lodge with being the most potent influence : in the counsels at the White House This Senator had earnestly assured this Z apprehensive Republican that the Pres : ident had made so many and such em- ' phatic pledges to him and other Sen ators that he would behave himself. z that he, this Senator, no longer feared : a caprfcious and turbulent administra-
 ton, if Roosevelt succeeded.
 We have every reason to believe this
 conversation actually occurred and
 withhold the names merely as a mat . ter of propriety. What spectacle Is here presented! With notorious req !. sons to be considered dangerous and : unsafe man in the Presidency. MT. Roosevelt has procured a formal ac-
 quiescence in his leadership by eminent
 Republicans, with unnumbered pledges
 of good conduct for the future. He Is
 so keenly' anxious to succeed himself
 that no demand in the way of prom ises could make him hesitate fora mo- ment in making the promises
 The point we want to make is, where there is so general and widespread a distrust of the man. this is certain to count at the polls. A Senator may be
 content with the Presidents promise. but what is the plain citizen, the ordi- nary man of business, to do? Must he chance the future on vague assurances
 that the President realizes his own
 heady imperfections and means to let
 older men guide him? The absurdity
 of this Is too transparent The silent
 vote. what Russell of Massachusetts. would call "the silent people" will un-
 doubtedly have an overwhelming and determining effect upon the result in
 November and that vote will not be
 fooled or cajoled into supporting for the . Presidency a candidate who by his own lmpetuous retirement at Oyster Bay, contfesses himself to be an unreliable man, whose most loyal friends admit to
 be at the best, an cratic creature.
