THE OPPONENTS OF PROTECTION

The Republican party is the only
party that has ever done anything 10
curb and regulate the trusts. When
Grover Cleveland was president the
last time he either didn't know or
didn't care anything about the trusts.
His attorney general declared the
sherman antitrust law unconstitution
al and brought no suits under it, not
even attempting to test its validity in
the supreme court. The party then,
as now, was free trade party and ii
gained control Of the government by
making the voters believe that free
trade would cure all Of their ills and
bring prosperity to the country. With
characteristic cowardice they did not
go the limit, the late Senator Cor
man preventing the party from adopt
ing a policy of absolute free trade.
But the revised tariff Of 1894 pro-
vided for free raw materials and what
was the result? Can any man forget
what followed? Factories and mills
tA1l Tic law was iutCHoCu " DNuC'
fit went out of business or We're forced
into bankruptcy. Foreign competition
as means of breaking down domestic
prices was invited and idleness, ruin
disaster and soup houses. took the
place of the greatest prosperity the
country had ever known up to that
time
But the cloven hoof of Democracy
is seen once more. The party of free
trade and free soup houses is again
attacking the system of protection
and declaring for free raw materials
and a tariff for revenue only.
The laws enacted by the Republi
can congress just adjourned leaves
the opposition without AN issue, save
the old one of free trade. While
few would like to keep it in the
background, it will not down. The
only way to keep it down is to keel
the party advocating it out of power
When the times comes for revising
the tariff it will be done by those who
have fostered protection to American
industries and not by those who have
been its constant enemies.

APPROPRIATIONS AND POLITICS.


Minneapolis Journal: The usual con-
Trajectory statements are made by the
leading men on the committee of APP
preparations of the house. Mr.. Chair
man Tawney says that though the
government costs lot of money, it is
less per capita than the government
of any other country.
Mr.. Livingston, the leading demo
cratic member, compares the eXpendi
lures under Roosevelt in 1906 with
those under Mckinley in 1898. and
draws the conclusion that the repub
lican party is a party of extravaganza
extravaganza entered upon deliberate
ly TO make burdensome tariff neces-
sary. This, he says, is part of the re-
publican partys bargain with the
trusts and combinations to which it is
welded
There are few flaws in Mr.. Liv-
ingSton'S reasoning:
First-There is no evidence of any
great expenditures being undertaken
which all parties have not substanti-
ally agreed upon. unless it be the cost
of the army and navy. The democrats
occasionly kick about those items,
but always agree to them in the end.
Second-If the republicans have en-
tered into bargain with trusts to
kaan ny tho aynou,]iturac in nrdar RI
keep up the tariff in order that the
said combines may keep up prices,
they are pursuing an illogical policy.
Huge expenditures will inevitably de-
mand a reduction of the tariff to a
minimum revenue basis, and thus de-
feat the very purpose of the alleged
bargain.
Third-The only party which has
done anything to curb and reduce to
order the combinations of capital is
the republican party. which is alleged
to have made bargain with them.
The attempt to make political CAPT
tai out of the appropriations has been
such failure in the past that one
would suppose it would be abandoned
by sensible statesmen. One party is
as bad as the other. only the demo
Gratis are a little worse. since they lie
the expenditures run up while The
revenue runs down. The republican!
look after the revenue.
The expenses of the government rul
up because the public demands things
Government expenses are not differen
in principle from family expenses.

WANT TO SHARE THE CREDIT.

While is has always been conced
ed that the party in power is respon-
sible and is entitled to the credit for
the legislation enacted during ses-
sion of congress. certain Democratic
papers are inclined to claim for their
party an equal share of the same
in the important and popular meas
1lres passed at the last session. Some
even go so far as to say but for Dem
ocratic support several of the bills
would have failed of passage. This
is simply hot air. The fact is that
the opposition knew the bills would
become laws anyway and it simply
dropped into line out of fear of receiv
ing the censure of the people. Had
there been any chance to make party
capital it would not have been passed
up
The legislation was in keeping with
the recommendation of a Republican
president in his annual message to
congress and had almost the unani
nous support OF his party in both
houses.
There isn't any question but what
some Democratic senators would have
been glad to see the railroad rate bill
defeated. Senator Bailey was accu
sed ct insincerity and duplicity. The
probability is that he was not alto
eether free from railroad influences
That would at least be the Inference
from the sharp reply hurled at him
by William r. Hearst for some I'm
ing the latter on the floor of the sen
ate. Hearst in reply says:
LAS for Senator Bailey personally
he began his career in Washington by
en- the conventional dress suit He
has ended by wearing tamely ant
humbly, the scarlet livery of corpor
atoms. But while Bailey is willins
to wear trust livery and answer the
Rockefeller bell as readily as any 9th
er standard oil lackey, he does no
like to have attention called to hi
badge of servitude and at present HI
is doing his best to hide it and shield
himself behind the grave of dead Sen
ator German"
Pretty hard lines these. but as Mr.
Bailey is the Democratic leader in tn
upper house, and supposed to be thu
spokesman of his party, it does no
place him in a very good light.

1t was to be expected that the Dem
ocrats would attempt to make little
capital out of the action OF congress
in voting an appropriation of $4,000
to cover the travelling expenses Of the
president of the United States. Yet
before the bill was passed, there were
Democrats in and out of congress
who advocated the raising of the pres
ident's salary to 100000 a year. Were
Mr.. Bryan or some other Democrat
occupying the presidential chair there
would not have been a murmur of dis.
approval. The action was not taken
for the special benefit of President
Roosevelt. 1t was simply recognized
as a growing necessity and establish.
ed a precedent which will be follow
ed in the future whoever is presi-
dent if. in fact the presidential sal
airy is not soon made double what it
is at present. The people of the Unit
ed States do not want their president
under obligations to the railroads in
the matter of transportation and are
willing that his salary be sufficient
to compOrt with the dignity of his high
office. And he should not be couped
up in Washington year after year, TAX
ing his information as to the needs
Of the country second-handed. Had
Grover Cleveland travelled more he
would not have classed Montana
among the undesirable states of the
vest The cry against the action Of
congress is simply demagogic and
nothing more.
