La Follette's Mistake.

Senator La Toilette says that the
Pay ne tariff bill will break up the
present parties and force new
alignment Of the voters. He is
mistaken. 1t will not hamper the
Republican party seriously, and a
little split in the Democratic party
on that or any other issue wonld
not change the situation in any ma
terial way. The secession of few
thousand Democrats over to the
Republicans or to some new party
would not alter the result in a
congressional OF presidential
election, for the Democrats have
no chance to win either.
One reason why the Democrats
can not make an issue out of the
tariff is hinted at by Mr.. La Fol
lette himself. "When be was in a
tight pinch Senator Aldrich never
had any trouble in crossing over
to the Democratic side and getting
a. many votes as hs needed" 5"

The government proposes to is

of the canal. By the time the
bonds are al! redeemed the interest
charge on them will have in

struction. 1t seem to us there is

The people are simply paving

once for the profit of the bond

that the government is supreme in

not, then, instead of issuing inter

the canal and permit them to pass
current the same as The circulating g

These words by the Wisconsin
statesman show why the Demo
Gratis will steer clear Of the tariff
in 1910 and 1912. They are so
badly split on that question that IT
could easily disrupt their party, as
silver did in 1896. Therefore.
they will let that question alone.
a discussion Of the tariff would do
serious wrong to the party of
Bailey, Daniel, McEnery and their
associates. McEnerv voted with
AIdrich from the beginning to the
end. More than half of the other
Southern Democratic senator's
came to Aldrich's side whenever
be ask ed them to do so.
The Republican party will have
some living issues to talk about in
1910. 1t will lose no time discuss
ing question which has been
shelved for years to come. Each
campaign. congressional as we'll aS
presidential. will deal with the
questions which are vital when
that campaign is here. The elo
quence of a Webster or a CLAY
would not he sufficient to get an
audience in 1910 to listen to tar
if speech. The people have been
snrfeited with talk on that issue in
The past few months. They will
not listen to anything which can
be said about it by anybody in the
next FIVE or six years, and perhaps
not in the next eight or ten. If
Mr.. La Toilette hires a hall 10 the

speak about the tariff be will have

half to one third as much, ought
to bring such men here by the
thousands. 1t is Il PLAIN business
proposition. If Il farmer can sell
a farm Of 100 acres at $3.50 an acre
and buy another in Missouri that
can be made just as productive at
$50 an acre, he has the same guam
tity of ground as before, capable
of The same service, and has cash
capital of $4,000 10 work with.
All that is needed is to convince
the farmers now living on high
price lands that this is a ract, and
the immigration will follow.
Twice the time, twice the effort
and twice the cost wonid not pro
dIce such results in Europe, and

foreigners and nnaccustomed to
our customs and methods and for
five years unable to become full
tledged citizens and perform the
duties Of citizens. If any person
desires 10 work up special colony
of foreign farmers, the commission
should give him all the help and
encourag ement possible. Such a
colony would be extremely desir-
able. But no colony from Europe,
no foreign immigration of any
character whatever, is us desirable
as rcgulur American farmers who
have been cullivating high price
lands and have therefore been CON-
PEELED to learn the best and most
productive methods and are also
capable of becoming full citizens
from the beginning.
The more this question is studied
the more these practical features
of it will be realized and appreci
ated. Hundreds of thousands of
American farmers have been drawn
into Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado,
Wyoming. Utah, Montana, the
Dakotas, Idaho. Washington, Cal
ifornia and Oregon, as well as the
vast interior region of Canada, the
past few years by just such argu
ments of cheap land, made through
regular advertising publicity.
Missouri has better offer to make
than any of those states. If she
will make it properly and con
viucingIv she will get her share of
this desirable immigration, and it
will SO far outnumber any possible
foreign immigration of anything
like as desirable quality that the
plainest business principles de
maid that this be the direction OF
the chief effort to be made. st.

tired of this So called "Cannonism"
they have only to change the rules.

We still believe, notwithstand
ing the Lead Belt News assurance
to the contrary. that The new tariff
law will not add materially to the
cost of living. Any sort Of a tar
if law that the Republicans could
have passed would not have pleas
ed the News, and we are willing to
make allowance for that fact.
Whatever it has said derogatory
to the Aldrich Payne bill we no.
tice the News has not condemned
the lead schedules. so we take it
that the bill is approved on
that item by the News, even if it
finds room to condemn the rest of
it most heartily. As for the jour-
nal, we are not seriously interested
in trying 10 defend the bill as
downward revision of the Dinglev
rates, we have always been high
tariff advocate and stcnd patter,
ON general principles. We never
felt that it was quite honest for
our Democratic friends to sneak
into the favor of the Republican
majority in Congress to get pro
lection for such interests as thew
might favor and then vote against
extending the same accommodation
to other interests. In its protec-
tive feature the new tariff is fairly
good: that is what the country
voted for. A low tariff makes a
cheap workingman.

We see it reported that the
President will urge Congress at
the coming session to pass a pos
tai savings bank bill, as demanded
in the national platform of the Re
publican party. Naturally snch a
bill will have strong opposition
from bankers all over the country,
regardless of party feeling, just
as they have antagonized the ef-
forts of states to adopt hank guar
an,ee laws. The principle pur.
pose in establishing a postal sav
ings bank, would be the safety of
the funds of the depositors; bank
guarantee laws have the same OBJ
ject in view. 1t is evident, there
fore, from the agitation of this
question. that public sentiment is
rapidly shaping itself in favor of
such legislation and that it cannot
be postponed much longer by
those opposed to it. We believe,
however, that the bank guarantee
plan is better than the postal saw
ings feature, for under the former
safety would be extended to all
bank depositors, while under the
latter only those depositing their
funds in postoffices would be pro
tacted.

that technically misquotation
