when we remember that the largest pro-
portion that goes to the state any
where else is one-third in New York.
Thus both these robberes stood when
the legislature took its Thanksgiving
recess, when exposure of the enormity
In every state paper that would publish
it, drove a few of the plunderers in very
shame to vote out of the bill portion
Of the atrocities they had voted into it;
but the House Republicans "a to 43-
almost two to one-still voted to retain
them.
In short, but for Democrats and the
Clement men we would never have got
license law at all, even in its present
mutileted shape. And the Clement men,
who thus helped to prevent their party
from betrayal of its pledges, have got
their reward by being slaughtered in
practically every instance where they
have sought denomination.
Could demonstration be completer of
the folly of again trusting the Republi-
can party with this subject?
Next week in this column we will I'M
cover the Republican scheme this year
for betraying the people by tactics pre-
cisely similar to those they lacked the
power to more than partially carry
out two years ago.

TARIFF is THE ISSUE.
Consequently Republicans Have No
Fear of the Result.

Consequently Republicans Have No
Fear of the Result.
So the tariff Is to be the great issue
Of the campaign. Well, every Repub-
lican and protectonist will welcome the
issue. Shall we continue McKinleyism
and Dingleyism or return to the tariffs
Of 1916, 1857 and 1904? The wage
earners Will decide the question, and
they Of oil classes will vote for con-
tinued employment, for high wages, for
progress and prosperity. Even with
the temporary lull Of a campaign year
we are all far better off than during
the free trade periods before the civil
war and from 1893 to 1897 Our farm
ers were never so prosperous as now
and they, too, will vote solidly for q
continuance Of protection which insures
them q continuance Of good home
market the best market in the world.
AS for revising the present tariff, 1t
should be done by protectionists when
1t Is done-when It can be done without
Injury to business.
AS to reciprocity, we want only that
kind which reciprocates, which gives
an equal exchange in noncompeting
products and which will not injure any
American industry. Republicans are
ready to discuss this issue to the full,
and there is no fear of the outcome

ENGLAND'S DILEMMA.
How to Hold Her own Market
ARninst ompetitton.

A convincing illustration of the hand
leap which free trade has laid upon
Great Britain In the race for Industrial
and commercial supremacy is to be
found In the testimony given by ].
Stephen Jeans, secretary Of the British
Iron Trade association, before the
board of investigation appointed In
connection with Joseph Chamberlain's
protection plan.
Equally conclusive is the proof Of the
soundness of the contention that
through the enlargement of production
as direct result of protection low cost
has been secured and high wages main
tained. The overshadowing value of a
protected market appears in the fact
that the United States consumes every
year 100000 tons of iron and STEEL
whereas England sells ut home scarce
ly more than one-ffth and Germany
one-third of that quantity.
Assured Of a market for 100000
tons, 1t Is easy to see that the producers
Of iron and steel in the United States
have had and still have a tremendous
world-the double advantage Of low
production cost and high wages. Lack
ing the help which protection has CIV
en- to her competitors across the sea,
Great Britain, which only a few years
ago led the world In iron and steel pro-
duction, now finds herself third on the
list, having been passed by the United
States and Germany, both of them pro-
lection countries
In his testimony before the Chamber
lain commission Mr.. Jeans showed that
during the last ten years British iron
production has only little more than
held It's own, while the total amount
handled, native and imported, has
shown an increase so small in COM
parison with the increase in other
countries that the result is most I'M
satisfactory. During the same period
the American output of iron and steel
has been trebled.
England's failure to keep pace with
her competitors in iron ana steel pro-
duction is attributed by Mr.. Jeans
chiefly to the wider home market of
both the United States and Germany,
by which they are enabled to produce
in larger quantity than England can
and to lessen cost by the economies
possible in extensive operation, such as
freer use of automatic machinery and
special appliances.
So 1t all comes back to the one vital
point-assurance of a market. British
producers have no such assurance. They
are not able to control their own home
market as against the competition of
the United States and Germany, while
in the markets Of the world they make
but poor showing against their pro-
tected rivals. 1t is no wonder that Jo-
seph Chamberlain should have reached
the conclusion that remedy for this
condition is imperatively required and
that the right remedy is protection.

ANOTHER HUMBUG PUNC.
TURED
Speaker Cannon and His Free Silver Re-
cord by the Side of His Stump Talk

The lovable "Uncle Joe" Cannon was
also unworthy of himself when he rang
the changes, as he did for an hour
cratic party had gone wrong on the
Silver Question and therefore ought to
be voted down.
If this were true it would prove that
Mr.. Cannon himself ought to be retired
TO private life-which would be seri-
GUS loss to our public service-because
few men in any party have been so
much and so thoroughly wrong on the
silver question as he has He was ono
of BANDS original allies in the cause
of free silver, voted in Congress for the
Bland Bill, voted to pass it over Hayes
veto, and in 1898, voted and fought
against the repeal of the silver pur-
chase law.
Better play fair, even on the stump,
Uncle Joe. The truth ia, both parties
have been wrong on the silver question,
if the free silver idea was wrong. The
Republican platform of 1883, drafted
by Mckinley, denounced Grover Cleve-
land for his opposition to free silver,
and that issue, which was worked to
the utmost in the West, elected Harri-
son. Every line of law enacted in favor
of silver for 80 years was of Republican
writing.
As long as the question has been
settled by the discovery of new gold
fields Unexpectedly increasing gold pro-
duction more than four-fold, it is time
for both parties, in view of the record
of both, to drop it. -

Traits of APES.

It has been observed that if the tame
dog is taken back to the wild state he
loses his voice. These sounding
voices" are produced in the animals
throat in a way similar to human Ian
guage, but are not voices proper nor
languages proper, and yet they are
full of psychological expression and re-
veal the animals psychic states. If we
tickle a chimpanzee in the armpit the
touch produces a grin on the face sim
liar to that Of a man under like cir
cumstances. He also emits laughter
like sounds. The same is the case with
the orang outang. The gorilla knits
the brow when angry, just like men.
We often observe in apes a complete
change in the facial muscles when
something is going to happen, be it
agreeable or disagreeable 1t is so also
with the child. In apes there is evil
IDENTIFY the same connection between
the facial muscles and vocal muscles

CAIN COLORED HAIR,
Yellow or Red Heads or Boards Once
Looked Upon as DefOrmities.

Yellow or Red Heads or Boards Once
Looked Upon as Deformities.
Yellow or red hair was anciently in
England esteemed deformity, and a
red beard was especially odious and
an 1nfallible token Of an evil DISPOSE
ton. This foolish prejudice possibly
originated in an aversion to the red
haired Danish invaders.
The common tapestry representa-
tons of Cain and Judas, to whom red
hair and boards were invariably al
lotted, probably for no better reason
than that the color was thought ugly,
intensified this feeling. The devil him
self was sometimes thus represented.
Dryden, in a fit of spleen, described
his publisher, Jacob Tonson, with two
left legs and Judas colored hair" and
in the same attack he speaks of him
as "freckled fair" where red is evil
IDENTIFY meant.
Shakespeare's reference in the ''Mer-
~ Wives Of Windsor" to "Cain COL
ored" hair is in later copies "cane COL
ored," just as his abraham colored''
in the folio "Coriolanus'' becomes Eau
burn" from which, indeed, it was
doubtless corrupted. Halls "Satires''
speaks Of
A goodly, long. thick. Abraham colored
beard.
