Protection Humbug.

The prOtectiOniSts are much exercised
at the exposure of the agricultural de-
partmcnt plan of estimating the num-
Der and value of sheep. The statistical
abstract of the United States on page
392 quotes the figures of the agricul-
tural department, and as these statis-
tics show 4 falling off in the number
of sheep of 10 ,334 1872 and correspond
ing decrease in value of $34TS5.G Col
from 1908 TO 1904 it would indicate
that in spite of the highest protection
on wool. sheep are not profitable To
farmers and herdSmen. The American
Economist, of course, as BELTS 4 trust
supported organ of protection, comes
up smiling and attempts TO explain the
vast falling off in the number of sheep
by saying that the growing fondness
for lamb has led TO their unusual
slaughter. But this lame explanation
does not explain, in fact, it befogs the
question, for the government figures
are given for the LIST of January, and
lambs are born in the spring and
would not be counted until the follow
ing year.
The facts are that, like most of the
government statistics. the sheep figures
are mostly unreliable, for the census
report for 1900 on sheep shows the ag
ricultural department figures are not
anywhere near the other.
1t is certainly rather an awkward
matter for the protectionistS TO explain
what is the matter with the sheep in
dustry when wool is protected 40 per
cent If the Republicans had only
made the duty on wool 40 per cent
they would apparently have wiped out
the sheep industry altogether. Great
is the protection humbuS and plumber.

The Republican press is profoundly
concerned about the Democratic vice
presidential candidate on two scores.
Ii regrets his advanced age more than
words can tell and is already beginning
to admit the possibility that If elected
lie may not outlive his term of Office
and also TO suggest that his would be
too aged n hand to hold the helm of
state should he be called upon to as
sumo the presidential chair. Secondly,
it is panied that he should be man
of wealth. worth. they say, about $780,
100000. instead of one of more moder-
ate fortune. There is Il vague suggcs-
ton in the editorials that have come to
our eye that Il vice presidential candi-
date ought not to have that much mon
Cy and that the Democratic party has
somehow surrendered its principles by
nominating him. - New Orleans Plea

Governor Van SAINT faction, who insti-
tuted the merger suit in the state

mends the governors action in "espous-
ing the cause OF the people against the
railroad merger and trusts" How the
trust magnates must grin when they
read about the man they defeated

would be interesting 10 know how
much the victory cost the trusts and
still more interesting 10 see what the

Republicans. Democrats.

We choose this year 476 electors: the
victorious party must nave 239 of them.
The south will give the democrats 159;
SO they must secure from the north ern
states at least so. With Idaho (3),
Ohio (23). Indiana G5), Illinois E2O,
Kansas 0O), Colorado 60, Montana
go, Nevada 60 and Utah CD they
would have 90; that is - more Than
needed.
The democrats can therefore be sue
cessful. even if they should lose New
York. New Jersey, Connecticut and
West Virginia.
Under the suppositiOn that both par
ties gain on the Sth day of November
in proportion as many votes as in
Maine. it would seem to be easier for
the democratic campaign managers to
secure the necessary electors in west
ern states than in the east.
We would of course not advise the
democracy to let the eastern doubtful
states 90 by default We simply state
the fact. i'll view of the splendid re-
suit in Maine. the prospects for dem
ocratic success are still better i'll the
western states named than III the east,
and we would consider it a great mis-
take if we would not make a strong
fight in the west. where we may win
even if we should lose New York,
possibility that has been heretofore
doubted by many politicians.
But il should not be difficult for Mr.
Parker who carried his state when a
candidate for chief justice of the court
of appeals by 10000 plurality. to win
again a decided victory in New York
Nov. s.
The result in Maine has demon
strated that the democrats have fine
chance of carrying the national cleo
ton, and this should enthuse all mem
bers of our party to use their best eff
forts for this purpose.

Democratic Victory in Sight.

Chicago Freie Presse: When the
democratic national convention met in
St. Louis only a minority expected that
a winner in the presidential fight
would be nominated. But the state
election in Maine gives the democrats
strong hopes of success. The final re
ports show that the republicans in
creased their vote since 1900 from 49,
40 TO 7S 400. or little less than per
cent. while the democrats increased
their vote from 40.026 to $3.50, or
more than 2S per cent.
If in all the states of the union this
gain is maintained, the result in the
states named below will be as follows:
