A PARTY OF PROGRESS.

Representative Boutell of Illinois re-
Gently made a speech in the House con-
trasting the realities of progress with
the verbosities Of "progressiveness,"
and the manner in which he lifted the
cuticle from the critics OF the Repub-
lican party was truly delightful.
Mr.. Boutell was not coarse or abu-
sive. but humorously sarcastic. Lord
Beaconsfield once said that Gladstone
became lost in the sxuberance of his
own verbosity. Mr.. BouteIl hits off the
progressives, meaning the insurgents Of
the Senate and House and Democrats
Of the Bryan stripe, in an equally hap
Ply manner.
1t would not be difficult to fix upon
any number of aspiring statesmen who
are accurately described in the follow
ing extract from Mr.. Boutell's speech:
Ry a singular psychological process
the frequency with which these peri
odical Legislators hear their own proc
lamation creates in their minds the
fiction that they are actual progress
siyes; Then, this fiction carefully nur,
tured finally blossoms into the fixed
belief that they are the only progress
sives. On the soaring pinions of de-
clamatory ardor, they are lifted out OF
the society OF artless cyclists and borne
aloft into the more select company Of
inflamed and inflated paranoiacs. In
this mental state, dazed by the rever-
berations OF their own eloquence, they
can not see what others are doing; they
feel that the world is out of joint and
that they alone can set IL right.
There was much more in the same
happy vein. Then the eloquent Illinois
congressman got down to brass tacks
and proved that the Republican party
was a party of progress by citing ali
the laws, treaties, conventions, resolu-
lions and proclamations of the past
thirteen years, long and noble record
of achievement.
Standing on this safe and sure
ground, Mr.. Boutell exclaimed:
Against the attacks of the declaimers,
rhetoricians, essayists, and all the other
vain and superficial sciolists, this noble
body of remedial legislation stands as
unmoved and immovabIe as the Wash
ington manument in a summer breeze,
the everlasting memorial Of the pro-
gressive spirit of the Republican par
ty."
Now let some benighted Democrat or
beloved progressive" prove that Mr..
Boutell was in error.

SHERMAN'S DEFENSE OF
PROTECTION,

Following in the footsteps Of Presi-
dent Taft, James S. Sherman, vice
president has strongly endorsed the
Payne-AIdrich tariff law. In a speech
before the Citizens Industrial associa-
ton of ST. Louis, the vice president de-
cIared that he was zone of those old
fashioned Republicans who believe in
American wages and an American
standard of living" This declaration is
one of the Republican articles of faith.
Without protection the manufacturers
of the United States would be COM
PEELED to cut wages to a minimum or
20 out of business. The workingmen
know this to be a fact. and the more
intelligent ones have always lined up
with the Republican party.
AS to the effect of the new tariff law,
Vice President Sherman was strictly
within the bounds of truth when he
said that hardly day passes that we
do not note the increase of wages
granted by some railroad or some in
dustrial enterprise. And 1t is esti-
mated the advance in wages granted
this year will eq-@l the stupendous
sum Of $500, 900, OJJ. While this SPLEEN
did result has come TO the wage-earner
and it is a fair assumption it must
have come first to the employing
classes-it has almost come in equal
measure to our farmers"
An increase of half a billion dollars in
the amount paid to the workingmen of
the United States in a single yearl
Would any considerable number of
these toilers be willing to abandon the
policy of protection and go back to the
level of the days of Democratic ascen-
dency? Such a course is inconceivable.
The effect of the new tariff law as a
revenue producer has been very graft
flying to it's trainers. In this connec-
ton Vice President Sherman said:
From a revenue standpoint, no ques-
ton of its success exists. During the
fiscal year TO date our receipts have
been over $4,000, 900 more than during
the corresponding months of last year.
A year ago our deficit-that is, the ex-
cess Of ordinary expenditures over or
binary receipts-was $40, OOO, 600; now
it is only about sl5,OOO.OOO, and it
seems quite safe to assume that the de-
felt will be very small, IL not entirely
wiped out by the end of the fiscal
year"
While the above figures show that
the law is producing considerable rev.
enue, and that the deficit is being rap
idly wiped out, they also show that in
order to obtain this revenue an enor-
nous amount of manufactured goods
from abroad have been brought into
this country and American labor dis
placed in consequence.
The figures also prove the contentious
Of the Republicans that the revision
was downward, because if the rates
had not been lowered the importations

CHRONIC FAULT FINDER.

William Jennings Bryan, the thrice
defeated candidate for President of the
United States. is not satisfied with the
appointment of Governor Hughes to the
supreme bench, the inevitable state
ment being issued Immediately follow
ing the receipt of the news of the nom
ination at Lincoln. Neb.
No one supposed that MT Bryan
would be satisfied. He never has
been satisfied. and probably never
will be. But as he did not enter into
the calculations when Governor
Hughes was nominated, what he thinks
or says is quite immaterial. The ac-
ton of President Taft is generally ap-
proved by the people of the country,
and such approval is all that is neces-
sary in the premises.
Mr.. Bryan, in speaking of Governor
Hughes. says mo one who will closely
examine his record can doubt that he
is in close sympathy with the exploit
ing corporations" He also declares
that Governor Hughes lis understood
to be a close personal friend of Rookie
feller," etc, etc. Ordinarily Mr.. BRYAN
keeps within the limits of possibility
in making his attacks upon all things
emanating from a Republican source.
In the case of Governor Hughes, how
ever, he has allowed his spleen to get
the better Of his judgment.
Because Governor Hughes has not
seen fit to play the demagogue and de-
nounce all the corporations, good. bad
and Indifferent, from the housetops
Mr.. Bryan would have us believe that
he is unfit to sit upon the supreme
bench when some of these corporations
are brought to bar. Reverse the prop
osition. Would Governor Hughes be a
safe man to place upon the bench If he
had prejudged the cases to come m?
Even MIR. Bryan would hardly answer
In the affirmative.
Members of the supreme court of the
United States are supposed to be with
out passion or prejudice, men who will
calmly and deliberately consider the
cases coming before them and render
Judgment according to the law of the
land. Manifestly a man without such
mental balance would be out of place
on the supreme bench.
One of the arguments used against
Mr.. Bryan when he was a candidate
for President was that in the event of
his election there was grave danger of
his loading up the supreme court with
wild-eyed Pops. His attack upon Gov
ernor Hughes is ample Justification for
believing that such would have been
the case.
