SHAM BATTLES.

The time Is passed for sham bat
Ties on the tariff question. Tie only
victory we a v won on the tariff in
recent years was the victory of 1892.
when we attacked the PRINCIPLE OF
PROTECTION. No real fight can be
made until a distince line is drawn
between the opposing forces.
The progressive republicans a
not make a successful fight against
the Aldrich element because both fac
ions in the republican party claim TO
be protectionists. 1t is only a ques-
tion of degree with no way of defining
the issue. So with those democrats
who shy at IA tariff for revenue only
they can not state their position with
out borrowing republican phraseology.
Whenever a democrat begins TO de
.fend protection he throws away his
arms and joins the ranks of non-con-
batants.
Taxation should be for eveau on
ly. Taxation of the many for the
benefit of the few is robbery under the
form of law. whether il is vok 10
aid the manufacturers of the east or
the producers of raw material in the
west and south.
Aside from the objections made to
the principle of protection il u be
remembered that comparatively few
can be benefited by a protective tar
if that would distribute its benefits
among all would be of no benefit to
any one. To benef those for whom
il is made. a protective tariff must
hurt the rest of the people.
The democratic party must take the
part of the WHOLE PEOPLE and
challenge the republicans-standpat-
tiers and progressives alike-to defend
the protective principle.
. Tariff reform by the friends of the
tariff is impossible; tariff reform by
the enemies of high tariff is not only
reasonable. but necessary.
Now for a real fight between the tax
payers and the tar eaters.-The Com
.noner.

That Fowler's charges are true is a
matter of common knowledge. Joe
Cannon has held the speakership for
years. and no one of those years has
il been to him a means of doing his
duty. He has valued it. partly for the
arbitrary power which IL conferred.
and partly for the chance to make
combinations with Senator Aldrich
