ED. STANDARD:
In your opinion, what is the gene
raj feeling among the Democrats
toward the renegade members of our
party in Congress who voted for pro-
lection ? Is it any wonder that the
Socialists claim there is no difference
in the two parties, when our own
members of Congress elected on a
tariff for revenue" platform, viii
have the audacity to vote for duty
on lumber, iron ore, etc Protection
is the cardinal principle of the d. o.
p. and positively repulsive to Democ-
racy. 1t is unAmerican and Subver-
sive of the liberties of a people who
boast of their liberties and independ-
ence. Don't talk to me of liberty
when one man from the smallest
State in the Union can dominate the
U. S. Senate. Those fellows posing
rs Democrats who voted to repudiate
the principles of our platform, should
be kicked out of the party. They are
doing more harm for the party than
a thousand d. o. p. men. We don't
look for anything better from Re-
publican, and yet some of 'em had
the manhood to stand up in the Sen
ate and proclaim to the world that
we have had enough of Dingleyism
and graft-that the peoples demand
shall be Obeyed. There is not q man
of the intelligence of an Australian
BuShman that does not know, if he
will stop and use his think box, that
protective tariff is plumber of the
masses for the benefit of few. 1t
is simply legalized plunder; the fraud
is so transparent that even the
greatest beneficiary of the damnable
system ought to blush with shame in
advocating it. The common thief
robs but few, but protection robs
millions, and its vOracious NAV is
never satisfied. Will the American
people ever realize the enormous
wrong that has been done to the
masses by this stupendous system of
fraud and corruption Just stop
and think for moment of the con-
stant stream of gold flowing into the
Golfers of very few benefciaries,
wrung from the tOiling millions who
create all the wealth, that they may
wallow in luxury in consequence of
this damnable system And stran-
ger still is the fact that the dam
phoOls who are plundered by it are
the very ones that "beller" loudeSt
for its perpetuatiOn for the reason, as
they suppose, that it enhances the
price of labor, just as if manufac-
turer, or beneficiary of the tariff
wouldn't have sense enough to buy
his labor in the cheapest market, the
same as other commodities. They
forget the fact that there is no pro-
vision in the tariff laws by which the
employer is compelled to "divy up
with the employe; and they forget
another fact, that the price of labor.
like all other commodities, depends
+ entirely upon the universal law of
supply and demand.
Here S hoping the American people
will cease bowling about their Won
derful intelligence till they come to
their senses. J. c. Cos.

Most any day one can hear old and

says:
"A lie which is all a lie may be met with
And fought outright,
But a lie which is part of a truth, isa
Harder matter To fight"
An idle, gossipying woman hears
incidentally of something concerning
a neighbor, and she hastens to be the
first to tell the news to another
neighbor, adding maybe. some COM

from house to house, until the eli

found only amongst the poor people,
or among the wives of wage -earners.

Burglar Alarm Photographs Intruders.
Popular Mechanics.

An Italian inventor has designed
a burglar alarm and camera attach
ment known as the cleptOgraph. An
intruder cannot enter q room where
it is arranged without disturbing one
of the wires. The movement of any
wire turns the machine in the direc-
tion from which the disturbance
arises, sets fire to a magnesium light,
rings an alarm bell, and takes snap
