DIS IOfeSHduOWiHS the Idtc III conSlcoS
should that party again get control,
of tariff bill, that, in the committee
on resolutions, the clause proposing
the free listing of articles competing
with trust made goods be put on the
free list, was, on a motion to recon
slider, retained by a vote of 26 for to
22 against. This indicates the survival
of the spirit of Gormanism that BODIES
i'll for any real reduction of rates.
On the currency, question none the
less acute that the sharp pains of last
years panic have measurably subsid-
ed, there is more of promise in the re-
publican than in the democratic state
ment of policy. If the republican
plank did approve the currency law
it. at least showed movement in the
right direction, the ultimate leaving
to private enterprise the issue of credit
forms of money. The old virue of
greenbackism turks in the democratic
declaration that emergency" should
be met by issues of treasury notes.
Mr. Bryan and the democrats in con-
gress, insist that the provision of
money, metallic or credit, is func.
ton of government that should never
be surrendered There is a queer
shifting of ground in the underlying
purpose of either party Logically,
the party that advocates use of the
taxing power to foster industry should
hold to the governments prerogative
of exclusive money issues.
With much that is right, the labor
plank contains that which is wrong
and indefensible, besides that which,
when it and the trust plank are read
together, is conflicting. There is a
pussyfooted, phrasing, Lut it does not
make iuaudible the purpose. The
supreme court held in the Loewe hat
boycott case that labor organizations,
by boycotting Loewe's has in states
other than where made, put a restraint
upon trade which brought it under
the ban of the antitrust act. The
plank declares that "the expanding
organization of industry" requires
that whatever labor may do ''for the
protection of wages and the improve
ment of labor conditions" should
not be regarded as illegal combina-
tions in restraint of trade.
This is what Gompers tried to get
the Chicago convention to adopt aud
failed.
This conflicts with the anti trust
plank. What are trusts but "the ex
panding organization of Industry
If labor has the right to organize 'for
the protection of wages" why have
employers not the same right to
organize for the protection of profits?
If labor can legally decree that pro-
duct shall not find a market in order
that lis producer may be brought to
accept labor's terms, why may not
producers combine to force com
petitors to accept their terms? If the
one is not restraint of trade the
other is not. Sioux City Tribune.

result was the inevitable, the bunco

to solicit the aid of fellow citizen
who happened to be in Boise in or
der to get another horse for a team
to pull his wagon and himself back
to his native heath a wiser man in
the rules of the quiet game but
poorer one in financial way.
The audacity of the bucno men

ity of the Pioneer saloon they
bought one of the horses of the 5000 |
team with which the man had come
to the city for $l00. swindled him
out of the latter amount and when
he endeavored to secure justice,
him with arrest until he
vas glad to return home without
complaint. In order to
his team to return home
lie was obliged to borrow horse
