Voters should not lose sight of the fact that at
the coming election several propositions are to be
submitted for a referendum decision The oppo-
nents OF the referendum method will seize upon
a small vote or lack OF interest as a pretext for
still further opposing a law which makes the citi-
zens more directly interested in government In
many states lack of interest and refusal to vote
have been dscouragng. The "Anti-Monopoly

The country has seemingly so much
TO do and is So prosperous that the
tariff question has been lost sight of. In
some of the Western States and in
Massachusetts political agitators have
worked during the past six years TO
stir the people to a frenzied demand
for the lowering Of import duties. Their
work appeared to be prompted by po-
Utica. ambitions. but tariff ripping
would not stand the debate. Hence the
men who made such a howl about the
tariff for time have turned their at
tention to other things. They could
not face the facts of commerce grow
ing at home and abroad. No cause can
be maintained before the American peo-
pie for any considerable time unless
it is just cause. Hence the death of
the anti agitation. In Iowa,
where the so-called Iowa idea" was
born, there is nobody at the present
time advocating the lowering of duties;
they are even silent on the reciprocity
question. Reciprocity Is a species of
false pretense- In practice it means
ro5bing and betraying one line of in
dustries for the benefit of another. Re-
eiprocity in one locality means a trade
for the benefit of that particular local.
ity, regardless of whose industry is de-
stroyed. For a time reciprocity was
popular, but when the reciprocity of
Massachusetts. which sought to trade
OF the farmer, met the reciprocity Of
Iowa, which sought to trade off the
manufactures, there was surprise on
both Sides And both sides concluded
they had better quit. The tariff for
the present Is dead issue. The ma
fional Republican convention next year
will declare unequivocally for protec-
tion without apology; will also declare
for reciprocity in non-competitive arti-
eles only.-Des Moines Capital.

Improving the Morale!

Always on the side of the foreign ex-
porters and the foreign steamship lines.
and never on the side of domestic pro-
duction and labor, the New York Jour-
nal OF Commerce welcomes the promise
of improvement OF the morale and
methods of our customs administra-
tlon." Ii regards the agreement with
Germany as a step in that direction.
just how the morale is going to be Inn
proved by authorizing our customs off,
GERS to wink at fraud and dishonesty
in the form of undervalued imports is
not explained. Probably it could be
explained this way: A protective tariff
is III itself grossly immoral; therefore.

and volume of that immortality mus
be conducive to morality Americas

II is thought that the old Caylloma
silver mines in Peru are probably sit
uated at a greater elevation than any
ether considerable mines in the world.
Their attitude varies between 1900
and 1900 feet. They were worked by
the Spaniards in the sixteenth century,
and before that, II Is believed, By the
Incas. An English company is now
preparing a hydroelectric plant for
them. This plant will be situared at
an altitude of between $4,000 ard 16,-
600 feet. II will derive its power from

POIfCl| Comment.
what of Democracy I'm zoos.

What of Democracy I'm 10OSs
The New York Sun is devoting much
space to the proposition that out of the
South may come Moses TO lead the
national Democracy back from Bryan
ism and make it once more party
which sober minded Americans may
consider as q possible alternative to
the Republican party.
1t finds that the South is becoming
too prosperous really to care about
the Prophet of Calamity, and that the
southern leaders of the Bryanite
school, such as Gov. Conner of Alabama,
are disposed to work popular animos-
ity against corporations for their own
benefit rather than for Mr.. Bryan's,
and to set up as oracles of 1.-The plain
people on their own account.
The Sun also discovers that thinking
southern Democrats are coming to the
conclusion that since they provide nine
fenths of the party votes in Congress
and the electoral college they should no
longer accept the part of poor relation
IN the Democratic household and
should have the honors as we'll as the
work.
All of which is very well as far as
it goes, but does not touch directly on
the main point at issue That is
whether the national Democracy can
get together on a platform embodying
principles that sober minded men can
seriously discuss. with candidates of a
quality to stand or fail by those princi-
pies.
Whether the next Democratic candi-
date comes from New York or Arkan-
sas, from Texas or Virginia, is merely
question of availability and expedi-
ency. The important questions are
whether the party has any constructive
principles to figh for, whether the can
didate's life and record prove that he
stands for those principles, and wheth-
er his character and training argue
that he would stand for them if elected,
against the lunacies of some of hi;
own partisans
1t is not enough for the Democracy
10 get rid of Bryan if it be able to bring
forward nothing but another agitstor
in his place What the Democracy
needs-and the country as WELLS
that 1t shall first find some principles
of action In government that appeal to
common sense Americans and then
candidate who represents these, princi-
pies and will stand fast In them if in
trusted with the business of govern
ment.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
