Independence in Politics.

The vote in the coming presidential
election is very likely to prove sur
prise to the old party leaders, and the
surprise will come from the fact that
the game of politics as it has been
played, and is still being played, is
converting many party adherents and
making them independent voters. The
old saving that when satan and hts
crew fall out, honest men have a
chance, is true in politics. The dis
agreement in the two old parties allows
the honest man chance. Things were
moving along too smoothly. Because a
man was raised democrat he remained
a democrat, or because man was
raised republican he remained re,
publican. 1t made no difference. that
the party was one great machine, a
wheel within wheel, or that the con-
ventiohs, from caucus to the national
conventions, year after year, were at
tended by the same old gang, party
pledges made again only to be broken.
Party was voted for and not the indi-
vidual. Campaign committees supplied
the speakers and the voter hurrahed
.rJ 49,, +l,o o,~oIo
The game of politics is being found
opt. The last state elections show a
greater tendency than ever before of
voters breaking away from party to
vote for the man. Some of the old
rcck-ribbed, dyed-in- the-wool party
newspapers also are taking independent
courses. The old Oregonian, always
strongly republican, recently declared
for political independence, and the
Louisville Courier-J ourral, longtime
champion of democracy in the south, is
reported to be less enthusiastic in the
cause. But the latest, and perhaps the
greatest surprise, comes in a confession
from that staunch republican paper, the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The
Republican, says;
THE ieliaf has been deeply cult
waited that money system strongly
resting on gold makes panics impossible
1t IS q false notion. The belief has a
wide acceptance that high protective
t:1iif protects from panics which come
only under low tariffs. That is quite as
false IS the other. The belief prevails
to greater or less extent that par
ticular political party possesses the ex-
elusive power Of governing the country
in freedom from financial disaster and
Industrial relapses. That is even more
false shan either Of the other beliefs.
Parties or financial crises are made pos
sole only by the existence Of the credit
system, and the credit system exists
under the gold standard as under any
other money standard, and it is in ope-
Patton whether tariffs are high or low,
o. whether the republican parity is in
pe'xsr 81 not"

Such confessions are aiding much in
clearing the mysteries of politics. If
the wave of independence keeps rolling
campaigns of the future will be failures
unless the spell-binders have moving
picture shows along with them or offer
free lunch.

"There can be no permanent i'm

until the cost of production has been
reduced through lowering of material
and wages. The lower level
of prices would facilitate both con
sumption and production, and would
not reduce the wages of labor, meas

that is the only true way of measuring
any income. New York Journal of
Commerce.
This is where the free trader invari-
ably lands-must land. His argument
otherwise would not have a leg to
stand on. Always a reduction OF
wages. 1t is a reductio ad absurdum
to say that wages would buy as much
then as now. They do not do it any
where in the world. Lower wages al
ways have meant, always must mean,
that the wage Garner buys less; that
his standard of living is lowered along
with his wages; that his purchasing
power is diminished so much that the
reduced demand is felt in every line OF
productive enterprise
The best that can happen to all bust
ness is. that the wage Garner shall
have plenty wherewith to buy. The
worst that can happen-the thing that
under free-trade conditions always
happens-is that wages shall be low
cred to point where nothing is left
after the bare necessities of reduced
scheme of living have been provided
for.
Protection takes care that the wage
shall be liberal. Free trade would
make sure that the competition of low
priced labor abroad is met by low
priced labor at home.
