REpuRL1oAN IMPOTENCE.

To stay still and continue to stay still
when an active movement is necessary
to prevent some one from picking your
pocket would be looked upon rs the act
of a simpieton and yet that is the stand
pat" program, of the republicans. The
trusts and combinations under n repub.
lican statute are %plunderIng the pockets
OF nine tentbs OF the American people
and yet they are advised by the republi-
ran leaders to allow this to continue
and smile and look pleasant MS il they
liked it.
Even those eI~eresceuces OF the tariff
under which ever 100 per cent is collect
ed and in some cases over 200 per cent,
the republicans refuse to adjust. They
offer no excuse, but simply say, you can
ct and it, SO therefore 1let well enough

Many republicans are getting very
restless under this trust fostering and
are beginning to discover that the trusts
and combines are getting the rake Of
instead OF the government. Such a
consistent though independent, republi
eau newspaper rs the Chicago Record
Herald issues q warning to the republi
eau managers when it says:
But s~tand-patism rs to the tariff
would mean gloryinR in confessions
OF impotence, the apotheosis Of politica
cowardice. Tue presidents messag,
and speeches preclude the suppositio'
that is the kind OF stand. patism he ha;
examined and pronouDc ed good. 1t will
not look good to Iowans or Middle IVES
republicans generally, and it will no
make votes in New England or New
York.
@As 10 the alleged ohligato addendun

has heard it before. Some ire veren

inquiry was extended to include certain
classes OF women workers embracing for
