Political Machines.

The strenuous young governor OF I'M
nois, who has just been defeateG for
denomination, has already commenced
to punish those of his appointees who
did not support him to the last ditch.
He has demanded the resignation Of
twenty six prominent Republican Off
cials. and hundreds more are to be de
capitated. Death to all traitors" is
the motto of Governor Yates. and it
is said that Mr.. Deneen, the nominee
for'governor, agrees with him and will
If successful exclude from participa-
ton in the patronage distribution all
the partisans of Senators Cullom and
Hopkins and the other members Of the
congressional delegation that opposed
the winning side. This strenuous ex-
hibition Of lack of brotherly love be-
tween the Illinois Republicans shows
the mercenary machine that rules
them, which was aided and strength
ened by President Roosevelt when he
appointed the notorious Doc jameson
naval officer. Such is Republican
politics everywherea machine over
thrown, another takes its place, all
based on patronage and plunder.

Another patraot Provided For.

That the worst element Of the Re-
publican party is being installed into
Office by President Roosevelt is con-
stantly cropping out. The latest pa
triot to be provided for is thus de-
scribed by the Nebraska Independent:
'Tom Cook has been appointed col
lector of customs for that new addition
to the United States called the Panama
zone. His reputation in Nebraska rests
not on his efficiency as collector of
customs, but on that Of distributor
Of Doodle. Every disreputable scoun-
drel in the state Of Nebraska who help
ed to debauch the electors in the days
of Mark Hanna is now drawing COM
Portable salary from the people through
the Republican party"
The Independent may be little too
severe on the Republican Doodle crowd
in Nebraska and Tom Cook in partcu-
lar, but Panama is good place to
Danish such to, and instead of grum-
bling there should be Joy for such de-
| liverance.

GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.
Directly Due to the Republican Pol
icy Of Protection.

Directly Due to the Republican Pol
1cy Of Protection.
The rapid growth Of Socialism is di-
rectly due to the Republican policy Of
protection and subsidies. It leads
men to believe that the government
should care for them as it protects the
trusts and corporations. Seeing the
tariff barons are made rich by special
laws, why cannot, they ask. all Of US
have our legal share Of the plunder? :?
Instead Of numerous trusts why not
have a national trust in which every
one can be stockholder? Protection
thrives ON public extravagance and
breeds corruption, another argument
for the Socialist.
Honest Republicans who have been
led to believe In protection should
think Of the broad road they are driv-
ing In and the revolution and desnuc-
ton Of republican government that
must be met at the end Of their jour
ney. The only salvation for the masses
Is their being led to believe that
equality Of opportunity for all"-the

REPUBLICAN, sTAGNATioN.
Present Leaders of the Party Are
Dismal Failures.

The great majority of the Republican
party used to worship James G. Blaine
and the policies that he stood for. He
favored reciprocity. especially with
South American countries. and in q
speech ut Waterville, Me-. Aug. 20.
1890, he said:
"Our great need is expansion.
mean expansion of trade with couil-
tries where we can find profitable ex-
changes. We are not seeking annexa-
ton of territory. Certainly we do not
desire it unless it should come by the
volition of a people who might ask the
priceless boon Of place under the flag
Of the Union. I feel sure that for a
long time to come the people Of the
United States will be wisely content
with our present area and not launch
upon any scheme Of annexation. At
the same time think we should be
unwisely content If we did not seek to
engage in what the younger Pitt so
we'll termed annexation Of trade"
The Republican leaders today are
distinctly opposed to just what Mr.
Blaine was striving for. He little
thought that within few years Re-
publican president would be forcibly
annexing countries not a this hemi-
sphere and Republican congress
would be standing pat and refusing to
ratify reciprocity treaties that McKin-
ley had arranged.
The Blaine Republican must. like the
few followers of Abe Lincoln that are
left, view with dismay the dismal fail
rre of their present leaders, who fear
to lcgislate on important matters, but
in place adopt policy of legislative
stagnation. Does any one believe that
Blaine would stand pat at the present
iuncture?

GENUINE RECIPROCITY.
Republicans Do Not UndeFstand That
1t Is a Democratic Measure.

Republicans Do Not Undefstand That
1t Is Democratic Measure.
Republican managers of the bureau
of statistics of the department Of COM
merce do not seem to understand that
genuine reciprocity is Democratic
measure" for they point with pride to
the great increase Of our trade with
Cuba since the reciprocity treaty was
ratified last December.
AS the reduction Of tariff duties be-
tween this country and Cuba has been
SO advantageous to us, why would not
similar reductions with other countries
help our merchants and consumers?
The Improvement Of trade with Cuba
is immediate proof that tariffs were
too high between the Cubans and our
selves.
Genuine reciprocity, that decreases
tariffs between countries, reforms the
tariff to the extent the duties are low.
cred. With Cuba the reduction was 25
per cent. How different that kind Of
reciprocity is from what the Repub-
lican leaders are urging-namely, reci-
procity in noncompetitve products.
What product does Cuba have to sell
that does not compete With us, except
a few tropical fruits? So the reciproci-
ty the Republicans favor would not
add to the business between the two
countries.

aoo..ve,t and the Negro.

The Republican national convention
backed up the Booker Washington in
cident in way that must have de-
lighted President Roosevelt. 1t is de-
scribed in recent communication to
the Washington Post by a negro
named Henry s. Baker. he calls at
tention to the scene in the Republican
convention when a beautiful white
girl was placed upon the stage and by
her side negro boy. and that they
led the cheering, thus making an ex-
ample Of the equality Of the races. He
also says that IL Roosevelt is elected
it will 80 encourage the negro men
that they will demand that Booker
Washington shall be the Republican
candidate for vice president in 1908.
II Mr.. Roosevelt is elected. perhaps he
will appoint Booker Washington post
master general and turn over the post
omces to the negroes as their share Of
the spoils.

PLUMBERS THE FARMER.
Policy Of Protection Places n Heav.
Burden on His Shoulders.

Burden on His Shoulders.
The policy of protection has, from
the beginning of our government, been
q burden, and a heavy one, upon the
farmer. 1t is pity that our farmers,
who are the backbone of protection to-
day, could not read and learn the les
sons of history. What Congressman
Smith of South Carolina said in our
first congress, in 1889, is as true today
as it was then. He said:
"It has been said, and justly said, sir,
that the states which adopted the con-
stitution expected its administration
would be conducted with a favorable
hand. The manufacturing states
wished the encouragement of manu-
factures, the maritime states the en-
couragement Of shipbuilding and the
agricultural states the encouragement
Of agriculture. We have laid heavy
duties upon foreign goods to encour-
age domestic manufactures, we are
now about to lay a tonnage duty for
the encouragement Of commerce, but
has any one step been taken to en-
courage the agricultural states? So
far from it that all that has been done
operates against their interest every
duty we have laid will be heavily felt
by South Carolina, while nothing has
been done to assist or even encourage
her or her agriculture.

The great inventor, Thomas A. Edi-
son. charges there are gross irregulari-
ties in the patent Office which involve
the commissioner Of patents, Frederick
I. Allen. Mr.. Edison appears to have
been turned down on q patent covering
his new storage battery and appealed
to President Roosevelt to have his
rights protected. who ordered that a
new hearing be granted.
The scandal grew out of matters re-
lating to Edison's new electric storage
battery. While certain patents on this
were pending an examiner in the Office
is alleged to have allowed another in
ventor to withdraw and amend specifi-
cations on a patent along the same
lines as Edison's. The latter's attor-
ney heard Of the circumstance. and in
vestigation showed that the amend
ment to the specifications for the rival
patent embodied certain features of the
Edison patent.
The action Of the examiner was in
gross violation Of the rules of the Of
fee, and Edison, through his attorney,
fled protest and demanded a hearing
before the commissioner with view to
the cancellation of the amendments
which had been allowed to be made to
the rival patent. This is the hearing
Commissioner Allen refused to grant.
Such grave charges would seem to
demand instant investigation. but SC
fur nothing has been published to
show that steps have been taken to
protect the inventing public. Nearly
every department Of the government
has been smirched with scandals that
are being covered up by the Republic
ans for fear of their effect upon the
voters at the coming election.

The aue.tion Before the Country.

The Question Before the Country.
The question is, Will the thousands
Of business men who petitioned for
reciprocity submit to being denied it
by the Republican leaders and vote to
bind the monopoly yoke more firmly
about their necks? How would the
'sstand patters" fare if the business
men should rebel and vote against the
trust and monopoly party? In the
Massachusetts Republican state con-
vention, just held, there were about
10 per cent of the delegates who fol-
lowed Mr.. Foss in favor Of reciprocity.
II 10 per cent Of the Republican voters
Of the state should resolve to vote
against the Republicans it would more
than reverse the majority at the last
election. In Iowa the same proportion
would allow the Democrats to prevail.
These are two of the strongest Repub-
lican states, and much less percent

publican majority in every state but

the coal trust railroads will pay hand
some dividends this year in conse-
quence of charging all they can get for

new FORCE IN POLITICS
The Labor Lyceum and Bureau
Of Information.
TO EXPLAIN ECONOMIC PROBLEMS

Organized by the Labor Leaders. II
Nay Teach . salutary Lesson to
Many Republican Congressmen.
Scrutiniaing Records Of Repre~ent-
atives.
The American Federation Of Labor.
which has an organization in every
city and many villages. does not per-
init political action, but is nonpartisan.
The leaders have found, however. that
congress will not heed their request for
legislation unless the individual menu
Der Of congress is brought to fear de-
feat If he does not vote for such laws
as labor demands. The labor leaders ut
Washington after two months of exec
utive meetings and consultations have
organized the "labor lyceum and bu-
reau of information" whose objects
are set forth to be the discussion Of
economic questions as they relate to
the educational, social and industrial
conditions Of the wageworkers of the
United States, to collect and dissent
nate legislative data relative to labor
measures submitted to the congress of
the United States, to ascertain as far
as possible the attitude of senators and
representatives toward such measures
and forward such information to their
respective constituencies and to advise
the use of the initiative and referen-
dun in the election of federal and state
legislators.
One clause of the constitution pro-
vides that any one who is member OF
q trades union in the United States
may become member Of the labor ly-
ceum. The work Of the lyceum de-
wolves largely upon the executive COM
mittee, of which the president Is ex
of1cio chairman. All complaints and
statements calling for action are re-
ferred to this committee. which is
charged with the duty Of investigation.
Before any action is taken the lyceum
must vote on the report of the COM
mittee.
The inspiration Of the organization Is
said to have been the treatment of la
Dor interests by congress on the injunc-
ton and eight hour bills. The record
of congressman is being scrutinized
closely at present, and, without par
tisan feeling, the ban is expected to
fall heavily on at least half dozen
congressman. who are having all they
desire to combat with in the shape Of
partisan opposition.
In its account of this organization
the Washington Post quotes Mr. Nc
CURE, the president of the lyceum. as
saying:
eve expect to enter the close districts
and do something that will count. The
laboring man could not enter political
fights heretofore in an organized body
because such thing would not be per-
mltted Of a union. His interests have
suffered. Then, again. there are num-
Der Of congressman who came here and
have done everything in their power
to defeat the ends Of the laboring man
and then return home to tell the labor
er how much they have been doing for
him. We intend to put stop to that
kind Of work."
That action will certainly make 1t
uncomfortable for most Of the Repub-
lican leaders, who, while pretending to
be favorable to labor, have managed to
| defeat all the legislation that labor
asks
