THURSDAY, JULY q, 1905.

Now 1t Is the government printing
Office which has its story OF graft or
corruption requiring Investigation
and perhaps dismissal or two.
Where Is this to end? Must President
Roosevelt devote his entire admins
tration to uncovering scandals In the
departments? III SO, IL Is u very hard
fate for "A man who Is himself SO
upcight. But II he has much more OF
this work to do he may find IL worth
while to go behind all the trouble and
inquire why 1t Is that the postoliice
had It's Machens and Beavers, the
agricultural department it's Holmes,
and why he has had to dismiss eight
army officers this year and bring to
trial six more all for embezzlement.
1t Is the get-rich.quick craze, which
has been stimulated by the Republican
theory that government exists TO help
people make money, either by creating
new Offices, obtaining colonial posses
sions, or by artillcially raising wages
by means OF protective tariffs. When
the history OF this period Of corrup-
tion and speculation In and out OF the
government comes TO be written up,
some decades hence, he will be but n
poor historian who fails TO perceive
that the spirit OF protection is Mt the
bottom OF 1t all,--New York Evening
Post.
The people should no longer acqul-
csce In the hurtful policy Of tariff Tax
restriction. II hinders the public well
fare and corrupts private character.
Two great questions In rate making
are before the country for solution.
One relates to railway tariffs, and the
other to seaboard taxes. The railway
question Ii comparatively new aud
very complex; aud the best and wlsest
policy in regard to the matter has not
vet been determined. The question
OF import duties on the other hand, Is
u very old question; and the question
OF right has long ago been determined
by the academies, and by the wlsest
statesmen. Commercial freedom will
best promote the public welfare; and
TO that end seabonrd taxes should be
fixed NJ the lowest rates which viii
raise sufficient revenue to support the
government economically administer

The paid-in.Adyanec
Subscriber.

An exchange speaks of man who
always paid for his paper II year in
advance As n reward he was never
sick in his life, never had n corn on
his toes, or the toothache; his pota-
toes never rot, the frost never kills
his pears, his wife never scolds, and
he has succeeded in serving three
terms on the school board without
being criticised,
We do not know whether any such
happy results follow paid-up sub
s2ribers TO the Iowa County Demo
crat or not, but 1t wouldn't do any
harm for many others TO try 1t,

The great trouble with the Milwau-
kee Journal and kindred spirits Is
that they are stlcklers for abstract
principles. Here they come smillngly
up again Offering us tariff reform US
an issue In the next campaignl What
the Democratic party needs Is hearts
and brains willing and ready to apply
Democratic principles to existing con
ditions SO that the greatest good may
be accomplished for the greatest mum
Der. The people don't care so much
for principles M for results, and one
of the reasons why Mr.. Bryan, whose
visit to this state In the near future
has caused the discussion rs TO Demo-
cratic campaign issues In the next
campaign, il beloved and trusted by
the people more than any other DEM
ocrat IL the confidence Of the sire to
do good for the people. " Jefferson
County Record.
As kindred spirit, the Democrat
suggests that what the Democratic
party most needs Is TO be democratic,
After dscredtng the party before the
country and the world, by trimming
democratic sails to catch undemoerat-
lie support, rs was so signally done
in 1896, 1t is quite unavailing to dis
pute rs to which party leader Is most
beloved and trusted by the people.
The people may love them all, for
that matter, but they fail to give them
their votes. The taril Is again the
leading question in national politics;
and Democrats are fortunate In being
on the right side OF this important
question. 1t Is to be hoped that they
will remain steadfast and not turn
away to follow unwise leadership,

The skirmishing Of the Demo
cratic party under new banners has
enabled ambitious place hunters to
load the Republican organization
with propositions that were wholly
out OF place In that relationship,
The result has been confusing aud
illegitimate contests In which high
principles have been constantly sac
riticed to vulgar personal ambition.
We would welcome u return OF the
day when nm honest Rcpublicanism
and an honest Democracy should face
each other in an honest fight. White

confusion of later day politics, II We
could only have an open and fait
fight there would be some satifactior
