THE ENGLISH SITUATION.

Chamberlain after being reported so
i'll that his mind itself. it was whis-
pered. had. given way, has returned
home from the Mediterranean and sig
nalizes and proves his complete resto-
ration to health by capturing bodily
the entire Liberal Unionist organiza-
ton and defeating It to his own pur-
poses of reform in the fiscal system of
Great Britain. This notable triumph
ensures on the dissolution of Parlia-
ment one of the greatest campaigns
the English have ever known and one
the whole world will watch with an
eager interest. The question is moth
ing more nor less, than one of protec-
ton against free trade. England has
grown enormously wealthy under the
rule of Cobden's ideas. While other
countries sheltered themselves behind
frowning tariff walls. the right tight
little island threw open her ports and
markets to all corners and wherever
on the globe bargains could be struck,
there were English merchants or their
agents ready to profit by the trade. 1t
is literal fact that her shipping dots
the high seas in every latitude and
throng barbaric as well as civilized
waters. Their tramp steamer of com

regulations. =. The result has been
monopoly Of ocean going traffic for the
British.
1t is this phenomenal success that
Mr.. Chamberlain now declares is I'M
naturally founded and unwisely i'm
perilled by the existing fiscal system.
He would arm the government with
laws that would permit 1t to retaliate
on any other country designing to
interfere with the English contention
of the right to buy in the cheapest and
sell in the dearest market. He pro-
fesses a subsidiary purpose of winning
the colonies over to closer relations
with the old country and of deepening
their imperial feeling and loyalty to
the crown.
He has now succeeded in taking the
organization founded to maintain the
union with Ireland and turning 1t with
all its power of wealth and numbers
to the aid Of his new financial schemes.
This means a gigantic struggle and an
historic one. Will he succeed? More
sober English observers think not.
They believe he is expecting a fall. but
relies on the division and Incompetence
of his opponents to shock and, disgust
the people and then on a call upon
him to lead in affairs. Mr.. Chamber
lain is approaching a limit in age
where most men would shrink from the
herculean labors he has imposed upon
himself. At an even greater age
Gladstone undertook far heavier task
and may be whatever his fortune,
Chamberlain may live to prosecute his
struggle to an end. Success for him
would open American eyes. England
being by far our best customer could
use club for our selfish ignorance in
tariff regulations with stunning eff
feet.

then expressed the following admira-

to place premium on brute courage

THURSDAY, JULY Fl, IO4.
SUNDAY At THE GREAT FAIR.

DIR. Lyman Abbott, who cannot be
regarded as lacking reverence for the
Sabbath, as an institution, has found
much that is offensive in Sunday
observances at St. Louis. By an act
of Congress the Exposition is required
to be closed on the first day of the
week and the law is so vigorously en-
hotel find themselves on that day
restricted within the limits of a fence
surrounding the building, thus pre-
venting them from wandering ever SO
little about the grounds.
In contrast with the graveyard still
ness that rested on the Exposition it.
self, DIR. Abbott found every beer gar
den in st. Louis wide open and doing a
rushing business; horse racing and
gambling in numerous places and the
river boats thronged with passengers
on pleasure bent. The Doctor deplores
all this and signs against the decision
of Congress to close the gates of the
fair on Sunday and so prevent the peo-

from enjoying innocently and profita-
bly, sight of things not only without
debasement. but elevating to a degree.
There is the old dispute involved in
these facts; whether for the sake of
the example to the whole country 1t is
worth while to throw Sunday restric-
lions about SO Instructive an exhibit
tion as that at St. Louis. The discus
sion in this particular case is neces-
sarily academic. for permission to open
the grounds to the public can only be
given by Congress and it will not meet
until December. 1t is worth noting
that in all the great cities there is a
growing disposition to open museums
and libraries for the afternoon and
evening of Sunday, and where this has
once been done there is never the
faintest demand for the restoration of
the old order. Innocent and inform
Ing recreation will doubtless come to

ciple for guidance in framing Sunday

And then for this man to talk about
what his conscience cannot approve,
and to pirate about political principle
is the limit of gall Before the con-
vention was held in 1896 he was writ
ing letters to the newspapers In favor
of sound money. After that conven-
ton he was a blatant advocate Of 1s-
to-1. What caused the flop? Where
was his conscience then? In cold
storage? What disposition had he
made Of his political principles? Proba-
bly, they were packed away with moth
balls to keep till they could be used
to advantage.
George is a beautiful specimen of the
on-the-make politician. and his support
is a burden. Both he and Bryan are
towards Amasa. when, as the Script
ures tell us. he took Amasa by the
beard with the right hand to kiss him."
but he had a sword hidden and "smote
him Herewith in the fifth rib
and he died. That is the kind of sup
port Parker gets from williams. He
mouths about supporting the ticket,
but takes care to leave the impression
that he does not consider 1t a ticket
that any Democrat is bound to support.
He pirates of his loyalty to the Party,
while he makes 1t plain that he does
not want the ticket elected. He is a
discredited leader and political hypo-
critic. The opposition of all such men
support.

ent tariff law, much Of which was in
corporated in the Dingley bill for no
other purpose than to induce foreign
countries to accept the idea of reciproc-
ity as expounded and advocated by the
late James @ Blaine. The Republican
party. having disavowed and repudiat-
ed Mr.. Blaine's idea, yet holds to the
excessive protection for which that
idea was the excuse. There is your is
sue--shall the government be the jul
nior partner in the taxing business?
Shall the firm continue to be styled,
steel Trust, United States & Compa-
ny, Monopolists and Takers. Pitts
burg and Washington" The stand
patters have the Affirmative. To state
II another way-shall farm utensils
and farm machinery be sold abroad
by American manufacturers cheaper
than they are sold at home to the end
that the farmers growing wheat in
Canada may have an advantage of the
farmer growing wheat in the United
States? Shall the steel trust sell a Can
ada road steel rails at S21 a ton and
charge our own roads $2S a ton? Shall
American steel be sold foreign ship
builders at $24 a ton and our domestic
shipbuilders be required to pay $32 a
ton for the same material?
The Republican answer to that last
proposition is that money shall be vot-
ed out of the public treasury and CIV
en- as a subsidy to the American ship
builder in order that he may, without
loss, contribute the excessive protec-
ton of IS a ton to the steel trust.
These are some of the phases of the
paramount issue of 1904.
The corner grocery is another issue,
and so Is the savings bank. The cost
of living increases with startling RAJ
pidity, and the rate of wages. instead
of advancing is inclined to recede. You
cannot fill the dinner pail and the saw
ings bank, too, under those conditions.
Where is the man in city or town in the
whole country who works with his
hands for his daily food. who does not
know there is something wrong in the
economy of his breakfast table? The
corner grocery takes from him that

A POLITICAL JOAB,

And George Fred Williams also
opened his mouth and spake. We
wish we might say that he spoke words
of wisdom, or even of truth and sober
ness, but strict regard for veracity for
bids the assertion. We think he and
Mr. Bryan must have elaborated, for
their announcements sound very much
alike. Among other things in his in
terview George said:
may vote for Parker. but 1 Ger.
tainly shall take no part in the cam
paign. / make no pretensions to po-
litical holiness. but l will not sell my
principles or take a brief for political
services which my conscience will not
approve. l shall look to the future
for judgment on my action. The tenn
per of the convention in its outrageous
decision on the Illinois case was so
clearly shown that | cannot be a party
to it's action. l shall remain a Demo-
cret, and / shall hope to see fairness
and justice reign. The venal influences
here at work cannot command my APP
prevail.
Georges apparently unconscious ego
ism is almost amusing His apparent
belief that what he does or fails to do
can have any effect on the result is
typical of the man. All that he can
do or say, one way or the other, will
not change one electoral vote. He
didn't have enough influence or follow
ing in Massachusetts to get himself
elected delegate to st. Louis. We
believe he got in on a proxy to help the
Hearst cause. His influence in his
own State has been whitfield down to a
