MUST LOOK TO DEMOCRATS
No Relief from Tariff Taxation Save
Through the Party of the
People.

Many republican newspapers are com.
ing to their senses about the fallSey of
protection. They now say that it was
never intended to permanently adopt the
system save as means to an end. That
end, according to the st. Paul Dispatch,
was the establishment of our manufac-
turers upon a basis that would make
them secure against the assaults of for
eign competition. When that was ac-
complished when they would be able to
meet that competition successfully, then
protection had served it's end, fulfilled
it's mission and could and should be dis
carded" In spite of this newspaper evil
dence large class of republican voters
lave become tired of paying tribute to
trusts and protected monopolies, says
, the Indianapolis Sentinel, the repub-
lican leaders, including President Roose-
welt, have determined to "stand pat"
rather than abate jot or little of pro-
lection. Thus we have the American
Protective Tariff league, through its Or
gan, the American Economist, denounc-
ing any republican who favors revision
of the most obnoxious schedule of the
Dingley law or who even favors reciproc-
ity to enlarge our trade with any nation
that is willing to reciprocate. The re-
suit of this republican league with mo-
nopoly is the great increase in the cost
of living and the decline of wages, so
that nearly every one is paying tribute
to the trusts and even the skilled labor
employed in the protected industries
is obliged to accept smaller income and
pay higher prices for many necessities.
Both these great classes of consumers
the workingmen and the farmers-are
being bled from every pore and are pay
ing tax to both the government and
the combines, but much the greater tax
to the favored monopolies. During the
last campaign for the election of con-
gress the revolt of republican voters
in many districts was only stayed by
promises of reforming the tariff in the
manner the Dispatch suggests, but those
republican congressman who declared
for reform have found it impossible to
override the decree of their leaders to
"let well enough alone" The ennis
saries of the protective tariff league
threaten political annihilation to any
republican congressman that even talks
reform. Most of those who promised
to curb the trusts by reducing the tariff
duties did not honestly intend to try to
do SO, relying on the normal republican
majority in their district and an ample
campaign fund, provided by the trusts,
to carry them through in the coming
election. 1t is evident that no relief
from trust exactions and tariff taxation
can be expected from the dominant
party.

A M MEMORY.

Like q strain of old-time music
Comes a memory to me,
From, the days of boyhood joyance,
Full of dreamy ecstacy;
And I wander far back yonder
Underneath the happy skies
That We're bluest on the Friday
When my mother made the pies.
Every day was sunlit silver,
Every night was gold with stars
That should light my ships of promise,
Yet to come across the bars:
But the sunshine and the starshine
Were as nothing in my eyes
In comparison with Friday
When my mother made the pies.
There are days, these days, wqlen music
Lends its rhythm to my thought,
For there's melody in working
Out the plans that must be wrought;
And l labor with my neighbor
To secure the golden prize,
But there's no day like that Friday
When my mother made the pies.

What Is Wrong with the Picture.

iZe that danger turks hidden and unsus.
pected beneath many an apparently
smiling field, and even beneath the
back gardens which they cultivate with
much assiduity and pride?
That may, perhaps, appear to be q
somewhat alarmist way of putting it;
but it is nevertheless, justified by hard
fact, states the London Express.
Britain is honeycombed in many dis,
trtcts to an extent which places the
lives of large sections of the population
in jeopardy.
Centuries of delving for coal and salt
in the bowels Of the earth have, in parts
Of South Yorkshire, Lancashire, the
Midlands, Cheshire and South Wales
left nothing but a thinnish crust be-
tween the vault of heaven and the cav
ernous depths below
This has led to subsidences of the
earth, which have recently been attend
ed with loss of life and damage to
property in the shape of collapsing
houses and sinking, undulating streets.
Another source of danger is to be
found in the numberless disused wells
that have become covered up with a
slight caking of soil and treacherous
growth of weeds, and which from time
to time claim unsuspecting victims.
| But it is in congested towns and
cities that new danger is confronting
us. The rapid growth of population
and the necessity for obtaining means
of rapid transit have driven man to
employ his ingenuity in devising meth
DDS Of locomotion in the air above and
in the earth beneath.
London, to take the supreme exam
pie, is being burrowed from end to end
with tubes" and underground rail
ways. 1t may be contended that these
tubes" are constructed at depth so
great as to preclude all possibility of
danger; but already we have seen in
the case of the Central London railway
bitter complaints of vibration and dam
age to property Immediately above the
tube"
This cause Of complaint and other
troubles still to be revealed will be
multiplied as tubes" increase in num-
ber.

Origin of SuryeyOr,s Art.

The art of land surveying owes its
origin to the fact that the Egyptians
were unable to keep permanent monu-
ments on land which was overfiowed
every year by the Nile, Under such
circumstances it became necessary to
have some means of reidentifying the
various pieces of land. The instru-
ments and mathematical methods Of
astronomy, with suitable notifications,
were used by the Egyptians for land
surveying.

the penitential file wended its painful
way toward the Hill OF Calvary.
Under the torture of their quivering

that whistled across the barren hills,

show these voters that their Demo-
cratic opponents are in some instances
at least preferable. The Irish Stand
ard did not allow itself to grow en-
thusiastic as result of the trouble
that was stirred up by the last Repub.
lican state convention. We have a
wholesome regard for Republican reg
ularity. 1t now appears, however,
that the trouble is growing more and
more as election day draws nearer.
The presidential campaign is not
helping out matters because everyone
knows that Roosevelt will carry Min
nesota no matter what happens to the
Republican state ticket. The fact that
this is a presidential year will prob
ably help the Democrats rather than
the Republicans for the disaffected
Republicans who might otherwise stay
at home will go to the polls and vote
for Roosevelt and the Democratic state
ticket. Democrats should be alive to
the great opportunity which they have
this year. There is no reason why the
admirable state ticket should not re-
ceive the full Democratic vote. If it
does we believe that the next governor
of Minnesota will be a Democrat.

The determination of the Mormon
Church" to control the politics of
Utah has led to the formation there of
an anti-Mormon state party, says the
Catholic Columbian. 1t is made up of
Republicans, Democrats and Populists.
1t is founded to fight Senator Reed
Smoot and Church domination in the
public affairs of that commonwealth.
1t has among its leaders United States
Senator Thomas Kearns, the editor of
the Salt Lake Tribune, and the editor
of the Salt Lake Telegram. The plat
form of this new state party charges
that "every pledge of the ecclesiastic
power to refrain from direction in poll
teal affairs has been shamelessly vio-
lated, and that every pretense of let
ting politics alone is shameful and
hollow mockery." But the Mormons
have control of the Republican or
ganization in Utah and they claim that
they can elect their state ticket with
out any Gentle votes. In view of the
opposition to the Mormons, it is hard
to see why they should not use all
lawful means to defend themselves
from political ostracism and annihila-
ton.

In all history the greatest minds
We're those that expressed their
thoughts in language most simple and
direct. In his letter of acceptance AL
ton B. Parker, the Democratic NOM
inee for president, has earned in large
measure the praise that is due to real
greatness, says the Duluth Herald.
There is no attempt at fowery flub-
dub, no reckless denuncation, no beat
ing around the bush. There is found
both candor and conservatism and a
satisfactory understanding of the is
sues that confront the people at the
present moment which indicates the
mind of Il master. The let
ter will be criticized as matter of
course. 1t will even be called weak
and f1abby. But if any man can find
therein aught that violates in any
particular the vital principles of real
democracy. he is certainly possessed
of better perceptive powers than The
Herald. The letter expresses the
creed of Il genuine Democrat. and
there is reason to believe that if
chosen president the author will be,
as he promises. "the chief magistrate
of all the people and not of any fac
ton" and will "ever be mindful of
the fact that on many questions of ma
tional policy there are honest differ
ences of opinion"
