Especial washington Letter.

Especial Washington letter.
TN his wrath King David said, "All
menareliarsr Hadhe looked in on
the Republican national conven-
ton while Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge was reading the Republican plat
form he would have been inclined to
adhere to that emphatic and sweeping
declaration, even though in high good
humor. Certainly as many falsehoods
are crowded into that document as can
be found in any document Of the same
length ever promulgated in this world.
How any man with any reputation to
lose could with straight face stand
up and read such pack Of false as
sertons to intelligent men, like the
peace of God, passeth all understand
ing.
It is asserted that the Wilson Cor
man tariff bill was based on free trade
principles''-a baldheaded lie ten years
old next month. wonder II Senator
Lodge and his co-laborers in preparing
that platform ever read or heard of the
command, Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbour" Evil
IDENTIFY the Decalogue has no binding
force on Republican leaders in the year
Of our Lord and Master 1904. Every
person Of intelligence knows that the
Wilson German bill levied an average
tariff of nearly 40 per cent on about
1000 articles Of everyday consumption.
To say that 1t is based on free trade
principles is to insult the intelligence
Of the American people, and yet it Is
by such claptrap as that that Senator
Lodge, the self appointed mouthpiece
Of the president, expects to rope in the
lican victory.
Here is another platform falsehood:
"Under the Dingley tariff labor has
been fully employed, wages have risen
and all industries have revived and
prospered." While Senator Lodge was
reading that sentence to his dupes or
confederates in convention assembled a
half million American laborers were
| begging for chance to toll, men were
being discharged wholesale by railroad
companies and by manufacturing con-
Germs, wages were being cut and the
quantity of food that laborer and his
family may consume was being re-
duced by the high prices established
for meat by the beef trust. Strange
that the Republican managers in the
convention did not recall the fate Of
Ananias and sapphira.
