WOULD STARVE LABOR.
Tarin Juggling Fatal 10 Those Who
Work For a Living.

The Democrats In pleading for 'tar-
IN reform" profess to be speaking for
the workingmen, yet II a revision OF
the tariff is attempted In the interest
of less protection who will be the chief
sufferer The manufacturer who feels
threatened by a cut In the schedule he
Is interested In can close his works and
wait for the turf of the tide or retire
II he finds conditions likely TO be too
much against him in favor Of the for
elgn manufactures he is now protected
against.
In that case his workmen viii have
to seek employment in the smaller
market for labor the changed condl-
tons will create. The capitalist "a
gather his money bags about him and
live on his capital until the storm
blows over. But the workingman has
no such u and must seek new
employment. perhaps learn another
trade.

ing women had a strong taste Of just
such an experience when the wilson
German tariff was under considera-
ton. The local overall factories were
kept then In such a state Of suspense
as TO the future that they closed down
or ran short time during the session Of
congress.
The cigar industry suffered a great
deal from the hesitation In the tobacco
trade over the probable duty to be laid

very prominent place In the esteem Of

working women who suffered most

cost of the whole wretched agitation

Hannah. of Billings. on the End of
July. is out OF the hands of the law,
Chief Justice Theodore Brantly OF the
supreme court having yesterday
granted an order directing the dis
charge OF the prisoner.
Grady was one oil the three men
arrested on a charge OF completely III
the murder of Sergeant Hannah. the
other two being Ed. Grady and Ort'
son Mosier. James Grady was arrest
I'd in Billings not long after the shoot
ing while the other " who had left
the county, were captured some days
later. There was a preliminary hear.
ing in Billings, and the three men
were committed without bail.
Last Thursday James Grady's at.
torney. Hathorn of BILLINGS. appeared
before Chief Justice Brantly, al cham.
bers. with an application for a writ
of habeas corpus. seeking TO have his
client discharged or admitted TO bail.
The application was accompanied by
a transcript OF the evidence at the
preliminary hearing and after taking
the matter under adjustment the chief
justice ordered the writ to be issued
against Sheriff George w. Hubbard,
of Yellowstone. commanding him 10
bring Grady before the chief justice
on return day, which was today.
Sheriff Hubbard and the prisoner
were in the court room when the ar.
gumCnt began yesterday forenoon.
Grady was represented by Mr.. Hat
horn. while the sheriff was represent.
ed by o. +. Goddard. OF Billings. and
County Attorney c. l.. Harris, of Vel.
lowstone county.
The argument was concluded about
2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when
the chief justice took the matter un-
der adyisement for an hour. In an
%nouncing his decision in the case,
Judge Brantly pointed out those por-
tons OF the evidence which were
claimed TO point to Grady's me
ton with the crime. lr there was. he
decided the question whether this
case should be submitted to the jury
on the evidence adduced at the pre-.
liminary hearing, he sal. the answer
must be no"
The circumstances in themselves. y
he continued, do not raise any infer
ence Of guilt. A man is not a Grim
inal because he is a brother to a Grim
inal: a mar Is not a criminal because
he Vas in the neighborhood when a
crime was committed; a man is not
a criminal because he bought shells
OF the same size with which the muir.
der was committed; nor Is a man a
criminal because he held a converse.
ton with one of the criminals.
Il will. therefore. grant an order
directing the applicants discharge.
Anything done here, however. will not
interfere with the right of the state
TO re-arrest the applicant in the event
of the discovery of additional evil
dence. The facts brought out in the
hearing would with very little as
sistance. give very powerful proof"

THE IOWA IDEA.
Thinking Republican, Will Have No
More Of Ia.

"The Iowa idea was that the trusts,
as they now exist aud excite alarm, are
created and sheltered by the tariff
and that to control the trusts it is nee
essary more or less to break down the
policy of protection.
The trouble with the Iowa idea
was that il mlstoOk an effect for a
cause. The protective policy has indeed
enabled home manufacture TO prosper
and grow strong by reserving TO it the
home market. But that was the extent
Of its influence.
Combinations OF manufacturers with
a more or less avowed aim of getting a
monopOlistic control Of their industry
were not made possible by the tariff.
Such combinations benefited 10y the tar
III only as their members u~ncombined
benefited by It.
This fact appears at once when we
remember that trusts exist in free
trade England as well as in protected
America and Germany and that the in
dustry Of the first great trust. the
Standard Oil company, has no tariff
protection.
Then there Is the further fact that
the men now at the head Of the great
trusts publicly avow Indifference to the
protective policy. Some Of these men
are inclined to be hostile to protection.
II helps their small competitors TO live
and so makes their desired monopoly
incomplete.
"The Iowa idea" jumped to a con-
| clusiou from insufficient knowledge. 1,
was as absurd as Mr.. Bryan's idea that
legislation and not natural causes de,
pressed the value Of silver In the world
market.
Also il was mischlevous because II
darkened counsel In the Republican
party's efforts to control and regulate
the trusts and gave aid and comfort Ia
the irrational trust busters" who
wished to burn down the house OF ma
tional prosperity because certain
groups Of its inmates were growing &c
fat that they crowded the Others.
The thinking Republicans OF Iowa
have seen the ~shallowness OF "the Iowa
idea' and will have no more OF II. They
will stand fast by the American ideas
OF proper protection to home industry
and OF equality before the law.-chi

SOUND DOCTRINE.


The splendid array in which the Re-
slaught their opponents may make or
protection Is best cXemplitied To this
time in the Dlngley law, Ii heretofore
there have been doubts and disputes
as TO what good Republican doctrine is
In Iowa this Is no longer true. Reel
procity has been discussed and offered
in various forms, Up TO the meeting
Of the Republican convention no au-
thority had spoken on the subject.
Then the highest authority within the
party said, I'VE are In favor Of reel
procity in n~oneompetitive products
only"
Any other reciprocity-that in COM
p%etitive articles-is Democratic. Chair
man Irwin said ii is free trade. and
the convention echoed its assent In
thunderous applause. Tariff changes
have been talked of. The platform
adopted by the convention finds no
such need. on the contrary, ii points
out In glowing terms the beneficent
effects of the present law and says.
I'VE declare for faithful adherence to
this system, which found its highest
fulfllment In laws bearing the names
OF William Mckinley and Nelson Ding,

There now can be no mistake about
what Is and what is not good Repub'
lican doctrine in Iowa.-Council Bluffs

This platform plank puts a sound
truth and accepted fact. hut il Is in.

All II worst panic periods have

What has been worse IN the memory
of men now living than the terrible
grinding years from 1915 TO 1873. with
the strike summer of 1877 between?
These years followed n Democratic
house, elected by a tidal wave in
1874. No turn of the tide came until
the political tide turned.
1t was the Democratic tidal wave
of 1882 and all the wide agitation OF
Democratic free trade which brought
the smash OF 1884 and its lean years.

TEXT BOOK ISSUED.
Republicans Go Before the Voters
With Four Great Claims for Sunnort.

The republican campaign text book
OF 1901 Is JUS about to BE- issued. The
following is a synopsis of the book
prepared by the Republican campaign
committee:
THE four great facts II SAYS.
which justified the Republican party
In asking the support or the public in
1900 were:
First, that It's pledges of 1895 had
been redeemed.
Second, thar prosperity hal come
As a result.
Third. that developments since
1896 had shown The iallacy OF the
principles upon which the Democracy
then appealed for public support.
Fourth. the condition which had
come to other parts OF the world and
their people as a result of promises
fulfilled by the Republican party in
the United States.
These assertions made in the text
book OF 1900 have been fully justified
by the added experiences of another
four years.
The pledges OF 1896 and those

The Democrats had hoped that they
would receive something like support
for their proposition to tinker with the
tariff from the Republicans Of Iowa.
They had hoped that a platform would
be adopted by the convention at Des

on the tariff issue in the Republican
party. They have been bitterly disap-
pointed. The Republican party of the
