We have but little patience with
those democrats who are So foolish as
to permit set Of cunning, scheming
republican politicians to make tools of
them to circulating reports that GER
tain democrats were traitors to the
party, voted for I,akin, sold out, bar
gained and bartered away party 10y
atty and every other crime to be

democrats, to stir up strife and reu

rotten Republican organization is.

What hornets nest the President
and Seci etary Taft have stirred up by
their declared purpose of buying the
supplies for the Panama Canal in The
cheapest market. The staudpatters
subsidized organ is wild with fury and
attack the President through Taft,
which will not aid in bringing the
two huttering wings of the Republi-
can party into that unison which is
so necessary for mouopolistic organ
ization. Since this uproar occurred
there are indications that the Admin
tration is not so anxious to stand oil
the stand patters as the Cour geous
declaration by Secretary Taft would
nuke us believe and is not SO siren
uously enthusiastic ovsr the cheapest
market idea as was indicated. All the

( President to 20 SLOW with tariff reform

Republican correspondents at Wash

been given them not to exploit the

intends ito leave it to Congress"

Senator n. b. Scott OF West Virgin

Senator ~ 3. Scott OF West Virgin e
ia arrived home from a European trip
a few days ago and was boiling all
over to think Of Uncle Sam beating the
trusts by buying the supplies for the
Panama Canal in the open market.
He criticised President Roosevelt Wig
crously and has protested to Secre
tary Taft that If this plan is persist
ed in it will create a storm of dissat-
isfaction. " AS Senator Scott further
said that conditions abroad have i'll
testified my devotion to the policy Of
high protection it is hardly likely
that his protest will change the 1t
titude of the Administration. The
nomination Of Mr.. 8onaparte to b,
Secretary OF tbe navy is notice to Sen
a.or Scott and the staud patters tha
the reform flag IS nailed to the mas
ana that this Panama inciden. is on !
the beginning Of what may be ez
pected. There be strenuous time

There has been no more law defy
ing trust than the Steel Rail Pool
which has kept the price OF Steel rails
in the United States at S28 a ton
while selling to foreign countries at
$40 a ton Word comes from Pitts
burg that this monopoly has been
dissolved, but by agreement the price
will be continued during this year.
The democrats have long exposed and
denounced this trust which was foster
ed by the protective tariff and al
though formally now declared to be
dissolved, it brazenly asserts it will
continue to extort its enormous pro-
fits, which the republican tariff law
protects it in doing
One of the first bills that should be
introduced by the Democrats in the
coming Congress should be to revise
the iron schedule SO that steel rails
and other products OF the Steel TT ust
should be open to competition and by
a reasonable duty for revenue only
help to wipe out the deficit that the
national finances are now suffering
from.

When President Roosevelt declared
that the material which Uncle Sam
must purchase for the Panama Canal
is to be bought in tbs cheapest mar
ket he struck big blow for tariff re :
form. Nothing has opened the eyes of
the hide bound republican partisan so
much as to know officially from the
highest Republican authority how
great the increased profits the trusts
and combines are robbing him OF uu-
def the fostering cafe OF the protec'
tive tariff. The most powerful organ
o!protection has been The New York
Tribune, but even this champion OF
the sacred tariff is compelled to en-
dorse the act of the admin stration in
ordering the supplies purchased i'll
the open market. The appointment
of Whitelaw Reid the owner and edi-
tor Of the Tribune, as Minister to
England was probably the price paid
for this support OF the free trade"
policy.
But the question that interests most
of us more than the political gyra-
tions Ct that Republican organ is,
why are the people to be robbed by
the trusts under the guise OF protec-
ton any more than Uncle Sam.

The striking employees Of the Kill
bourn mills went back 10 work on
Monday last but it was only for the
purpose of making formal demard
urt the managers to dispose of the
foreign labor and that it be not agair
employed to the detriment of home
labor This the employers refused and
all hands marched out. Since that
time the mill has been standing idle
and beth sides are unyielding.
TIE question at point, as it looks t,
us, is, IS Kilbourn able to get tbs lab r
here necessary FIR the successful oper-
alton OF the plants Kilbourn asserts
that he canuot while the strikers
with equal positiveness assert that
they know o. scores OF good people
who have applied even recently fo-
work and were refused. The magni-
tude of this matter, it seems to rs.
ought to warrant true statement by
both sides and IT that is once made
there will be little difficulty in the
way OF settlement.

The faction OF the Republicans who
call themselves stand patters' have
but little to be proud OF in that term.
When the late Senator Hanna issued
his orders to the party to stand pat
and prevent revision of the tariff that
fosters the trusts, it was an acknow-
ledgment that the Republican party
was in league witt the corporations.
AS far as the tariff is concerned the
Republicans still stand pat and the
greater faction of the party declares
| the tariff must not be disturbed while
| the administration faction all declare
they are ardent ptotectionists. Be
tween the stand patter and the pro-
tectionIsts there is no great guilt fixed
so far they have both been united, there
is a plainly marked path from one
faction to the other and at each end
the guide board has the legend taker
from the Republican national plat
form which reads.
Protection which guards and devel
ops our industries is a cardinal policy
o the Republican party. The meas
ure OF protection should always at
least equal the difference in th- cost
OF production at home and abroad.
To standpat therefor nj ans to stant
in the way of PROGRESS. Protection
