Picnic DAYS.
FROM the Columbus Journal.


These are picnic days-days for the
woods, for the fresh green grass, for the
deviled eggs. for the raspberry pie, and
for the girl with the white frock and the
hear-splitting laugh. If you let the
sweet June days ripple by. without plung-
ing into one of these woodsy affairs, and
butterfiying yourself through the leaf
sweet merry widow girl cut you off a
huge chunk of jelly cake-if you fail to
deck your life with these experiences,
what does 1t amount to anyhow? The
soul must have it's days to romp, to wade
in the creeks and swing from the branches
of the trees. If it hasn't, it will get
hard and dry, and you can't make a dent
in it with line Of poetry or the touch of
vanished hand. Seeing a person in q
parlor or an Office is only half seeing
him. You must go out among the dryads
and the naiads and the sweet spirits of
the emerald outdoors, and talk to him
with mOuthful of fried chicken and an
earful of women's voices.

Free Raw Materials.

The argument of those democrats who
advocate free raw materials is this: But
one democrat has occupied the White
House since Buchanan. and his two sue
cessful campaigns were waged on plat
forms that practically called for free
raw materials. But did that feature of
the appeal to the people carry either cleo
ton?
The first Cleveland campaign turned not
upon principles, but personalities. 1t was
no sooner begun than a slashing trade
in personal abuse and denunciation of the
two candidates set up. Both parties In
dulged in 1t, to the disgust of the fair
men in both. But 1t never was checked.
The only things free and raw heard OF
were stories about Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Blaine, and they were very free. and
some of them very raw. Besides, In New
York, which decided the day. Mr.. Blaine
was deeply cut by the stalwart faction of
his party, paying off the score Of the old
Blaine-Conkling feud.
Nor did the third Cleveland campaign
turn upon the tariff. Gen. Harrison was
weak with his party because of his dis
tribution of patronage. and Mr.. Cleveland
got the benefit Of the anger caused by
the Homestead strike. for which. how
ever. the Harrison administration was In
no wise responsible. The tariff plank In
the democratic platform that year was OF
the free trade variety. but hard fight In
the convention had been necessary to Sc
cure it. The first proposition-favored by
all of Mr.. Cleveland's personal representa-
tives in the convention-was a straddle.
Although the tariff did not decide the
election as soon as the result was an
nounced. the business interests took alarm
at what had been promised in the name
of the tariff, and began to shorten sail. A
panic followed.
The distinct winning on the tariff issue
came in 1896. That year Mr.. Mckinley,
who was master politician. opposed the
He electrified the country with one SEN

us open the mills" Amen, responded
the country, by large majority. Many
OF the mills were then closed, and labor,
which had gone against the republicans
four years before in fit Of anger, now
supported them In the hope Of ending a
long period of idleness. It proved q most
sensible calculation, for Immediately fol-
lowing the opening of the mills began
times good beyond precedent.
Such Is the record. Argument is just
opening on the proposition that to free
the raw materials Is the proper way to
lead up to free trade, and the country,
as it should be. is all attention.
