rHe PARAMOUNT ISSUE

A proper reduction of the tariff is
the dominant issue now before the
American people. The only question
is how can it best and quickest be at
tanned? We unhesitatingly answer
that It can come quickest through that
branch of the Republican party
known as Insurgents or Progresslves'
If it reaches us through that avenue
then it will be permanent, if 1t comes
through Democratic channels it will
be unstable and changeable, just as
was the Wilson bill. 1t is the tariff
which has caused the present split in
the Republican party; no other issue
in the West is talked of in seriousness.
The Republican leaders deceived the
Republican voters, and their sin has
found the N out. rhe' death OF 9Sena-
tor Dolliver last week was severe
blow to the Ipsurgent cause. his
equipment was SO thorough, his deter
mination so great and his efforts SO
sincere, that his place will be hard to
fu. But there are others who Will
take up the work where he laid II
down, and there will be no hitch, no
turning, until reduction OF the tarin
10 accomplished, fully, completely and
permanently When that ubiquitous
load is taken of our shoulders we can
breathe freer. We will become for once
free men, free from the thraldom OF
the protected manufacturer, the trusts
and combines, and individual effort
will once more be a human asset.
Now it is dead. We are asked wheth-
er to accomplish this our people will
be expected to vote the Republican
ticket? We answer that the name OF
the ticket we vote on such an issue as
tins should make no difference. 1t is
results we seek. We have labored
under the name of Democrats fol-
years to accomplish this one great end
We have tailed, indeed we have assist
ed the tariff baron to pile his burdens
higher. Under the Payne-Aldrich bill
we have, not only been compelled te
pay q higher tribute to wealth thar
before, but we have by our mode o.
voting, strengthened the Interests" 81
that it may border on revolution u
dislodge them. If Mr.. Roosevelt
should lead party against tariff I'M
guilty in 1912, the tariff reductionist
will be untrue to their convictions, t
the country and posterity, If they d
not support him, no matter wha
party name he may assume. The lin
ing up in such a fight will show tn
people where they should stand
Wall Street and the Interests" gen
orally are against him now, they will
be more against him in 1912. Inas
much as the wolf and the lamb do no
live harmoniously and well, excep
from the VOLTS side, in the same pas
ture, the Interests" and the people d
not hold the same thing in common
The people are used as beasts OF bul
den. 1t would seem when they coul
they would throw off the yoke. TIL
day is fast coming, in our opinion
when the yoke can be taken from thel
necks and they can become free.

"a singular political condition exists
in New York, that is condition most
singular for New York. Republicans
are supporting the Democratic facket'
and the Democrats are issuing appeals
to the negroes. The newspapers have
the following announcement:

pealing to negroes are being circulated.
These condemn. Col. Roosevelt's pres
emit attitude in New York State poiiti-
cal affairs, his treatment Of negro sol
diers a. the time OF the Brownsville
episode, and his more recent advice to
Icolored people to stop whining. "
The leaflets consist of ardent appeals
to the negroes of the state to vote
AGAINST Roosevelt and support the
Democratic ticket, asserting that the
4 former President owns the Republican
party in New York and Is using it te
I the end that he may again be elected
