Tariff and Labors.

If it were true, as the Republicans
declare in platforms and speeches,
that the tariff protects labor, Pitts
burg should be paradise for working
men. Yet in spite of every manufac-
turing industry In Pittsburg being pro-
tectAd by the tariff we hear of thous-
ands of men being unable to get work,
aud that great distress prevails there,
and the local authorities have been
compelled to vote money to keep many
from starving. Wages are also being
reduced for those who are working,
but the cost of living is still nearly at
the highest point; in fact, meat of all
kinds is dearer than ever. And yet
most of these Pittsburg workingmen
and many elsewhere vote to elect Re-
publicans to Congress, and elect State
Senator's and Representatives, who in
turn elect Republican United States
Senators. who standpat and refuse to
reform the tariff that protects not only
the Steel Trust but the Beef Com
bines.
These unfortunate conditions under
the present tariff are forcing the Re-
publicans to promise to revise the tariff
latter election" but the promise has
string to it, for the latest platform
provides that a maximum tariff is
necessary. which means a still higher
tariff.

Our BLACK Cabinet"

in Russia they have what they call
a "Black Cabinet" or Department of
espial. In the United States we have
the Secret Service" at Washington
which is supposed to consist of de-
tective to spy upon counterfeiters and
smugglers. In Russia the detectives
look for those who are plotting against
the government, and no one is free
from their espionage. Here the gov
eminent detectives are supposed to
confine their work to the protection of
the Treasury with all its numerous
bureaus, but evidence was presented to
the Committee on Appropriations that
Secret Service agents have been used
for all kinds of ''spying" work, and
there has grown up in the service
system of espionage that smacks
strongly of the black cabinet of Russia.
At recent hearing of the Commit
tee or Appropriations some startling
testimony was given concerning the
case of a naval officer who suspected
his wife of having improper relations
with midshipman. A Secret Service
agent was put to work TO get evidence
at the instance of tie Navy Depart
ment. Divorce proceedings resulted.
This instance of activity by Secret Ser
vice agents outside the field of opera
tons marked out for them in laws
passed by Congress prompted the Com
mittee to insert in the sundry civil bill
clause prohibiting Secret Service
men from engaging in any duty other
than guarding the person of the Pre-
dent and enforcing the laws against
counterfeiting.
Such use of public officials would be
thought all right in autocratic Russia.
but is all wrong in the United States,
with its DemocratIc-Republican gov
eminent.
Undisputed Republican sway is lead
ing this country to copy the ways of
monarchial counties of Europe. In
fact, we have many of the unpleasant
trappings of Cars and Kings. with
the increased power of the naval and
military bureaus, spending as much, or
more, money than Empires. and aping
the doirgs of autocratic governments.
No such use of the peoples money
was ever attempted. Or even thought
of, under a Democratic administration,
and such signs of growing subserviency
to the demands for centralized gov
eminent should be checked before it is
too late.
If the Secret Service can be used by
the officials of the Navy Department to
spy into the family affairs of subordi-
nate officers, it could also be used for
political purposes to spy upon the do
ings of Democrats and others who de-
sire to reform abuses in the govern
ment which Republican policies have
produced.

Life, Liberty and Property.

We hear great deal about anarchy
nowadays; and most people think it
only as a doctrine justifying murder.
But it is something more. Itreally in
cludes socialism. Property rights,
which the socialists are seeking to de-
stroy, are just as strongly guarded un-
der our Constitution as life itself.
Life, liberty and property" are pro-
tected in the same sentence and under
the same words. Anarchy consists of
hostility to constituted authority, and
Socialism consists in hostility to prop
erty.

SENATE COMMITTEE CHANGES.
Some Important Places Are Left by
Allison.

Washington. Aug. G--rhe death OF
senator William b. Allison OF Iowa
leaves vacant the Craftsmanship of the
Senate committee on appropriations and
also leaves vacancy in the finance
committee, OF which Senator Allison was
ranking member The question OF filling
these vacancies is one OF much import
ance. Senator Hale of Maine is ranking
senator OF the appropriations committee
and undoubtedly can be chairman i he
desires. Tie has been acting chairman
much OF the time the last two years.
I'm case he is made chairman, it would
follow in all probability that he would
give up the Craftsmanship Of the naval
affairs committee, OF which Senator Per.
kins OF California is ranking member.
The question OF who will 90 on the
finance committee is important, because
of coming tariff revision and the fact
currency legislation promises to be more
or less agitatcd for some time to come.
senator Crane OF Massachusetts, is men
toned as senator who would prove a
capable member OF the finance commit
tee. The succession OF Senator Allison
as chairman of the Republican steering
committee will probably bring forth sew
eral asprants. Seantor Burrows OF
Michigan is one of those mentioned.
