ABUSING JOHNSON.

The Bryan organs are making some
very ugly statements against the can
didacy of Governor johnson of Min.
nesota. The Minnesota man u charg-
ed with being . tool of the republican
national committee, and with conduct
ing q campaign bureau on money fur
nished by republicans. These charges
are in harmony with the usual plan Of
campaign adopted by democrats in
fighting the battles of the Peerless.
The fact that johnson has been twice
elected governor of his state, the see.
ond time when Minnesota gave .
republican candidate for president q
hundred thousand majority, ought to
give him . standing Is . national
character among fair minded men, and
he deserves better treatment from the
Bryan faction in the Democratic party
than is accorded him. Instead of dis
cussing the governors candidacy in .
respectful manner, . campaign of hate
has been melted by the rabbid Bryan
press that is rapidly widening the gap
between the two factions. The absurd
attempt to ring in the charge that
republicans are furnishing the sinews
of war for the Minnesota man and
financeering his campaign, is made to
gain sympathy for Bryan and create
hostility against johnson. If money
for corrupting democrats is being used
it is democratic money raised among
the Nixons, Belmonts and other dem.
ocratic plutocratAof the east Who stood
with Bryan in 1904 in advocating the
election of Parker. Anyway, its .
quarrel among Democrats in which
Republicans are not interested one
way or the other.

ENGLISH ANTIFREE TRADE
REPORT.

The British Tariff Commission has
just made . significant report ON the
causes of lack Of employment in the
United Kingdom. A comparison ia
given with the industrial situation in
the United States and Germany, both
protective countries, and the conclu.
sion is that they are better off than
England in regard to unemployment.
The reason is frankly stated to be the
free importation into England of for.
eign manufactured goods, and the res
friction of British exports by foreign
tariffs. Figures from the British
Board Of Trade bear out this view of
the matter, and the board gathers its
facts from all branches of industry
throughout the kingdom. By the
commissions showing the average of
unemployed in Great Britain was Al
per cent for the ten years ending with
1906. It Is now ga per cent, having
increased considerably since last year.
Lack Of employment is one of the
most serious evils with which civilized
society contends. The idle man loses
his wages and the community is de-
Prived Of his work. Every possible
effort should be made to aid the indus
trious and law-abiding to get work at
= fair recompense. Enforced idleneas
is . bitter thing and q political dan
ger. A nation that protects its indus
tries and rate of wages gives its citi-
zens . safeguard in employment and
just compensation. Suppose this
country should try free trade, how
long would it take the leviathans
crossing the Atlantic in five or six
days to food our markets with many
manufactured articles produced BY
cheap labor! Great cargoes of shop
worn stuff would be dumped upon Us.
Bankrupt stocks would be poured in

ity lasted. Opportunities for Ameri-

Bryan. The white man of the south

NEW Y0RKs ELECTORAL VOTE
The refusal Of Instructions is proof
positive of the conviction Of the party
managers that Bryan, if nominated
could not carry this state. Ifthey had
felt that there WAS even . fighting
chance for him to carry the stase with
its thirty.nine electoral votes, they
would have tumbled over each other
in their anxiety to pledge the dele
gates to him.
The New York democrats have
therefore served notice upon the dem.
ocrats Of other states that Mr.. Bryan
cannot carry this state. The majority
against him in 1896 was 26S, 469; in
1900. the majority against him wa
14s,6O6. In the last eight years be
has lost, not gained, in New York.
His plea for the government owner
ship of railroads finished him with the
democracy here. l..
Will anybody attempt to point out
how Mr.. Bryan can be elected presi.
dent without the vote of New York!
Such an attempt could proceed only
from irresponsible lunacy or defiant
ignorance. If the thirty-nine votes of
New York are lost, New Jersey with
twelve and Illinois With twenty seven,
would just fiji the gap in the demo-
cratic column. He cannot carry
either Of those states, any more than
he can carry Pennsylvania or Massa-
chusetts.
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indi.
ana together have but thirty-four votes
in the electoral college. In a year
when New York goes republican these
three states are absolutely sure to sup
port that party. Nowhere in the
union can compensation be found for
the loss of New York.
The opponents of Bryan in other
states have now q solid basis for their
work. His supporters might conceiv-
ably win over the New York deleea.
ton ct Denver. That would not win
him the state, with its thirty.nine
votes. The highest authoritative
opinion has been given that those
votes he cannot have, and he cannot
be elected without them. His defeat
is demonstrated three months before
the convention meets. His persistence
and the persistence of his friends,
therefore, can be accounted for only
upon the theory of some other motive
than q desire for the triumph of the
democratic party.-New York Times

A HUAANE AGE.

The political agitator, in his effort,
to any one class of society against an.
other, usually rings in the oft repeated
assertion that in this age of CONNER
cial activity the republican party
places the dollar above the man, in
spite of the fact that the party in al
its years of supremacy has placed man
above the dollar. "A commercial
age" says a we'll known writer, els no,
necessarily one of greed and selfish.
ness. This is pre- eminently such IN
epoch, and the finer humanities have
more practical recognition now than
in former periods of the worlds his.
tory. Philanthropic enterprises q
we'll as philanthropic societies abound.
The condition of the destitute poor
excites more notice than formerly.
The reform Of prisons, their discipline,
and their sanitary aspects, is becoming
general. The mitigation Of the rigors
of criminal codes is q feature of the
times. The nearly complete sweeping
away of the disabilities of women is
significant. The laws for the protec-
ton of minors are in the same line.
War is being measurably relieved
from its barbarities. Institutions of
exceptional inquiry are disappearing.
Schoolroom abuses are getting rarer.
The public will not tolerate outraees
on the insane and on paupers under
public care. Provisions for safety 1t
sea are multiplying, and fire escapes in
exposed buildings is compulsory. All
around there is evidence of . keen and
effective recognition of the claims of
humanity, and it is a pleasure to
note il"
The work of keeping man above the
dollar is not confined to any particu.
lar section Of the country. 1t covers
every state in the Union, and all
political parties are engaged IN the
humane endeavor to make men better,
happier and more useful and intelli.
gent citizens, regardless of the har.
lngues Of politicians who place their
