Must Be Kept invIoIate

For this campaign the democratic
party has made no issue paramount.
The only important declaration made
in the platform, which differs radi-
cslly from the republican position,
is that in regard to the tariff. "We
denounce protection as robbery OF
the many to enrich the few" is the
essential part of the platform declar
alton in regard to the tariff. Be
cause it is the only important declar
tion of policy essentially different
from the republican policy in regard
to the same matter, it may be expect.
ed to become e1 proprio vigore, the
paramount issue.
Tariff reduction was the paIa-
mouont issue of the campaign of 1892.
1t may be expected, therefore, that
this years campaign will be along
the same lines as that of twelve
years ego, but not, that its result
will be the same. The people Of the
United States have not forgotten the
lesson they learned in the succeed
ing four years.
The republican policy OF protec-
ton for American industries and
American labor is as certainly estsb.
lished as is the gold standard. Rec
ognition of that fact by the demo
cratic party Is only a question of
time, The democracy will be com
PEELED to back down from it's anti
protection position just as it was
compelled to repudiate its declara-
ton that the war for the mainten.
ance of the integrity of the Union
was failure, just as it has been COM
PEELED to admit, tacitly, that its de-
mand for the free coinage of silver
was blunder.
Confronted with the question
whether the republican protective
system shall be maintained or de-
stroyed, the American people will
not hesitate to make emphatic reply
that it must and shall be kept invio
late.-Albany Journal"

President Rooseve,t's Response


Custom has made the official mott
ficstion Of the presidential nominee
an important political ceremony, and
the response of the candidate is re
garded as a contribution to campaign
literature second only to the official
letter of acceptance and the party
platform.
There will therefore be much in
terest in what Mr.. Roosevelt said at
Oyster Bay Wednesday, and this in
terest will be increased on account OF
the brevity and the straightforward
ness of his remarks.
The republican presidential can
didste has lost no time in glittering
generslities, but he has presented a
statement of plain facts that cannot
fail to make their impression upon
the minds of all candid voters.
MIR. Roosevelt evidently appreciat
es the fact that the strongest posi-
BILE evidence that can be presented
by the republicans is the record OF
their accomplishment in national ad
ministrstion, and against this solid
record the fimsy criticisms, Invec-
tives and misrepresentation of the
democratic platform can have no ef
feet.
The president has wisely left to

iron thunder. The gold standard is
conceded to be the idea to stand by.
The republican party marches on
ward. 1t does things, positively and
effectively. Its time is not occupied
in taking back and explaining. 1t
sticks to its policies and clinches
them by administrative results. The
approval Of the people abides with it
because of the constant deDonstrs
ton that the side it takes, and holds
firmly, is the right side. Give the
democratic party eight years and 1t
works around to the same view, be-
canse further denial has become alb
surd. II the democrats carried the
election this year they could only
block the wheels of Legislation, suarl
at accomplished facts and put fresh
rods in pickle for their OWL party.
As minority they can be showed
forward, as in the case of the gold
standard. But as a majority they
bring calamity upon the country and
dig a deeper pit for themselves.
Their party wabbles and reverses
itself 1t is unworthy of confidence.
