 "Where are all the declarations of principles of the democrats?" he asked Fiat money, free silver. anti imperialism? All buried, and now their only cry is a tariff for revenue only, which finally means free trade. Every prophecy of disaster under continued republican rule has been disproved.

JUSTICE GOFF's DECISION
He Holds That Purpose of the Strike Is Not to Bet ter Conditions But to Shut the Door of Oppor- tunity

New York. Aug. 27.-Parades of protest broke out all over the East Side this afternoon on the receipt of the news that Justice Golf had ruled in the state supreme court that a strike which demands a closed shop" is a conspiracy in restraint of trade
 Bands of the 6O.00O cloakmakers now on strike marched through the streets. one of them to the city hall, carrying banners and American flags. shouting closed shop" at every step. There. was no violence.
 Justice GOff's decision granted an injunction to a member of the Manu- lecturers Protective association to restrain acts of violence, threats, picketing and patrolling by strikers
 .''The primary purpose of this strike" reads the decision. ''is not to better the condition of the workmen, but to deprive other men of the op- pOrtunity and their right to work"
 Justice Golf supports the ruling with a recent decision of the state court of appeals against the Thomp- son -Starrett company, a large build ing corporation, which he cites as follows: ''The court of appeals held that it is against public policy for employees who control practically the whole trade Of a community to con spire for the purpose of compelling workmen to join a particular union as a condition of employment
 If the rule thus laid down be law, it must be accepted as such, and be ing the latest expression of the court of appeals. it must be applicable to workmen as well as employers. It would be repugnant to reason to hold that it applies to one and not to the other"
 final vote on the tentative agree ment reached yesterday between the strikers and manufacturers was not reached tonight. The general opinion inclines to the belief that the terms will be accepted.
