DAVE HILL AND FREE COAL.

David b. Hills campaign speeches
are typical of the Democratic cam
paign which is ''all things to all men"
and reckless personal abuse of the
President. Mr.. Hill is tariff reform
er. He is a free trader regarding
everything not produced in New
York. In the Fitv-third Congress,
he favored putting coal on the free
list and two years ago he drafted the
New York Democratic platform in
favor of condemning the anthracite
coal mines and having the Govern
ment take possession of them. And
yet Mr.. Hill condemned Mr. Bryan as
a socialist because Mr. Bryan favored
the government ownership of rail
roads. New Yory has railroads, but
not coal mines.
Last week Mr.. Hill went all oyer
West Virginia campaigning with
Henry &. Davis without even men
tionlng tariff in his speeches. The
Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent lives in a coal producing State,
interested in coal mines and is not in
faver of free coal. Mr.. Hill could not
abuse the hospitality of his candidate
for Vice President by attacking his
business interests while riding
through his State with him. So the
great New Yorker confined himself
to petty ISLANDERS against the Presi-
dent.
Out in Indiana Mr.. Hill again be-
came tariff reformer and demanded
that coal be placed on the free list.
There he spoke his own and his
party's true sentiments The Demo
Gratis would take the tariff off all coal
and let In the bituminous coal from
New Brunswick to compete with our
own. The Wilson bill had coal on

THE JUDICIAL CANDIDATE.

We have already characterized in
suitable terms Judge Parker's DELHI
crate repetition at Esopus of his
grossly false assertion that in additi-
ton to an original outlay of $20,000,-
600, this country has wasted more
than $3.50, 900, 900 of the peoples mon
ey'' on the Philippines. The original
statement, wrong to the extent of
about $3.50, 900, 900, as the official rec
ords prove, was presumably a blum
der due to sheer ignorance. Its re-
affirmation after exposure cannot be
accounted for except on an hypothe-
sis which it would be painful to sug-
gest.
But this wild perversion was not
the only amazing feature of Judge
Parker's speech. He quoted from an
unnamed observer a description of
conditions in the Philippines which.
according to the latest and most au-
lucrative testimony, bears not the
remotest resemblance to the truth,
and much of which, indeed, is pre-
posterous on the face of it. Yet the
Democratic candidate is not ashamed

NON.PROTECTED INDUSTRY.

In 1896, the last year of Cleveland
ism aud the operation of the Wilson
German law, the freight carried by
the railroads of this country amount
ed to about 70O,OOO,00O tons. The
freight carried during the year 1904
under Republieauism and the opera
ton of the Dinghy tariff law, will
amount to fully double that number
of tons. In 1896 the wages paid rail
road employees amounted to $4GS, 00O,-
600. In 1904 the wages paid to the
railroad employees of the United
States will exceed $500, 100000 or al
most double the wages paid under
free trade.
The NUN Der of employees in 1896
was S26, 500. In 1904 the number of
employees is 100000, or an increase
of nearly 100000 men. In 1896, So rail
roads with about -, 900 miles of track,
representing over 81 900, 100000 of
stocks and bonds, were sold under
lOIcCloSuIe. DuTlIS 1JUo TOduS rep
resenting only S15, 100000 of stocks
and bonds were sold. While "A roads
in 1898, with stocks and bonds repre-
senting nearly $2,000,000,0O0 were
placed under receiverships, yet at the
present time only three or four roads,
with stocks and bonds representing
only 81 100000 or $2,OOO,OOO and with
less than 100 miles of track, are I'M
der receiverships. Thus we see that
under the administration of the Re-
publican party and under the OPP
Grafton of the protective tariff our
railroad statistics, whether we CON
slider the shareholders or the employ
es, or the amount of business done,
are fully double today what it was
during the administration of Grover
Cleveland and the operation of the
Wilson-Gorman tariff law.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1904-10-27

The Democrats are not agreed
among themselves whether they
want a protective tariff or It modified
system of free trade. In West Viz
ginia they do not dare to advocate
removing protection from home in
dustries. The Southern Democrats,
however, are thirsting to tackle the
tariff law. If the Democrats should
carry the House it would be the
Southern free traders who would rule
the roost, and not the conservatives.
The Southerners would wipeout eYerv
industry in West Virginia in iiffy
if they could.

on the basis of these fantastic inven-
tions of one unknown witness, to pro-
nounce judgment and demand re-
dress.
Is this the course which Judge Par
ker has been in the habit of pursuing
on the bench? Was it his custom, as
trial judge, to ignore all the rest of
the evidence, accept as conclusive a
single individuals unsupported allie
cations and order verdict to cores
pond? Did he make it a practice
during the latter part of his judicial
career to apply that treatment to
cases on appeal, and vote for affirm
alton or reversal, according as frag-
ment of the evidence hafmonized
with his sympathies or interests? Has
Judge Parker unlearned in three
months the judicial methods of TWEEN
ty years? Or was he merely success
full while on the bench in concealing
the proofs of his prejudice and parti-
sanship?-New York Tribune.

GET READY FOR ELECTION DAY

The main thing, now, is to make
sure to get to the polls on election
day. We don't need much more
discussion or campaigning. The peo-
pie have their minds pretty well made
up what they intend to do on Election
Day.
Be sure that you do it, that's ALL
Don't imagine that your vote is not
needed.
The tissues" OF the campaign have
been thoroughly gone over. AS far
as Republicans, Independents and
Gold Democrats are concerned, they
did not need much discussion, for the
issues as they see them are the same
that were presented to the voters in
1898, 1900 and 1902. The only interest
aroused among these voters was
whether the Democratic party had
any new issue to present. 1t did not
have and was not even united in it's
opposition to the issue presented by
the Republican Party.
So the question comes back to this:
Shall we vote as we have voted in the
recent past and keep the party in
power which has a definite plan of
government and legislation that has
been tried and received the approval
of the people, or shall we seek a
change, split up Congress and install
in power an unknown quantity?
There is little doubt as to how that
question will be answered, if the
voters go to the polls. The only fear
is that through over-confidence the
men who have sustained the ha nds
of Mckinley and Roosevelt NAV not
turn out on Election Day and the OPP
position thereby be permitted to take
the prize by default.
Turn out and vote for your Re-
publican candidate for Congress and
for Republican electors on the Presi-
Dental ticket. More than that, not
only take yourself to the polls but get
your neighbor to go with you. The
result means undisturbed business
conditions and continued peace and
prosperity as well as safe, stable, and
wise government.
