The new political party organized
and Incorporated by Mr.. Hearst as a
political trust, bids fair to become a
power in the land. 1t is corporate n
composed of radicals. 1t is the very
antithesis Of the Democracy, which is
voluntary association of those who
desire TO uphold government of law,
as opposed to personal government and
government by trusts and combines.
But it adobts.aIl the Rooseveltian poll
cies and nearly ali of the Bryan poll
cies. with view of unifying the advo-
Gates of those policies under one sys-
tenn and under one leader, who has
been alternately the ally of Democrats
and Republicans in New York. 1t is a
great scheme for the destruction of
representative government, and for
the enforcement Of q corporation and
a dictator. The cranks will hail its
advent.

sorry pass the Republican party. has
brought the country to. Thus the
New York Sun, with its independent
soul much vexed by what Mr.. Bryan
asserts is mainly due to Mr.. Roosevelt
filching Democratic policies" de-
clares that we are now indebted to
President Roosevelt for:
Private confidence and credit shat
tered; decreasing business; empty
freight cars and empty pay envelopes
railroad employees and industrial work
ers laid off by the hundred thousand /;
disaster made thoroughly Republican !;
the Constitution kicked one side like a
broken teddy bear; the courts insul .
ed capital prosecuted and frightened !;
suspicion and hatred sown sedulously
among classes whose prosperity or ad-
versity is inseparably mutual; half
yelled, sinister prophecies of riot; the
army demoralized by favoritism, the
navy embarked upon mysterious and
dangerous adventure; currency reform
unachieved, civil service reform made
byword.
The Sun might have added that
Trusts have been fined but no trust
magnate however, guilty, is yet in

great wealth, is at large and is said'to

Trusts are still selling abroad cheaper

Governor Douglas and Tariff.

The Tariff tax on boots and shoes is
25 per cent, which tax on necessities
a Republican Congress refuses to
abolish, although Hon. w. L. Douglas,
of Massachusetts, just before he was
elected Governor declared that a
majority of the New England shoe
manufacturers were willing to forego
this protection. If Congress would give
them free hides. Governor Douglas
is the largest manufacturer of shoes in
the United States, and says the tariff
is hindering the export trade of this
country.
