The Kansas Republican council
whatever that is-has announced the
platormfy upon which the campaign
in that state will be made.
1t is an Insurgent platform. In
other words, it reverbrates the Bris-
townian thunder and flashes with
Murdockian lightning. There is not
a long whiskered Populist throughout
the length and breadth of that bleed
ing state who can read the document
and fail to find fervid endorsement
of the general principles which he
espoused in the good old grasshopper
days of Sockless jerry Simpson and
Mary Ellen Lease. The isms are all

President on down to city catcher by
direct vote of the people," the Payne
Tariff is condemned and a demand
made that a general revision be made
lone schedule at time"
Perhaps you can imagine the pulsat-
ing, surging joy which would sweep
over the business and commercial
world at the prospect of another Tar
if revision in the near future on
the schedule by schedule" plan.
The Kansas platform will be read
throughout the country with more of
a feeling of amusement than serious
concern. The country has been edu-
Gated to look upon Kansas as the
of radicalism and it is
never disappointed. AS in the days
of tn populise epidemic, Kansas pro-
duced the most virulent type it was
to be expected that in the hightide of
insurgency that state would be equally
vociferous in proclaiming its adher-
ence to the newer cult.
If the voice of Kansas means any
thing it means that there is contest
on between hisoric Republicanism and
insurgency land the people must de-
eide under which flag they will take
their stand-Des Moines Capital.

Tariff Does Not Add to the Cost.

Coffee is on the free list in America
1t is part thief untaxed breakfast
table.
In Germany the tax is seven cents
pound. Germany has a Protective
Tariff and it extends its Tariff du-
ties even 10 coffee.
The New York Journal has been
making some Investigations and it
finds that in Germany roasted coffee
at retail sells for the same price as
in America in spite of the seven cents
tax. We have here an illustration
that the amount of the Tariff is not
added to the cost to the consumer.
Neither is the omission of the Tariff
substracted from the buying prices
which the consumer pays in America.
Who gets the seven cents which
the government of Germany collects,
but which is not collected in this
country? The New York Journal says
it is the shipping trust" which is a
foreign combination over which We
have no control. The Journal says
that Germany has a merchant marine
of it's own that is merchant ships
on the ocean0 whose transactions
are regulated in Germany America has
no merchant marine. The Journal
thinks that we can save that seven
cents a pound, or fifty millions a year
on coffee alone to foreign shipping
trusts.
There is food for reflection in these
facts. 1t would be better for us to
begin thinking about such problems
than to be carping politicians at home
all the time.-Cedar Rapids Repub-
ljcan

quently forget to be consistent. They
have raised a great hullabal,o latelyy
about the alleged effect of the Tar
iff In increasing the cost of living.
Their contention has been absurd, Of
course. for the prices OF many COM
modities have advanced In all sec
tons of the world, including Free
Trade England and the Tariff has
had nothing whatever to do with the
matter. Moreover. some prices have
flutuated, and not a few have de-
creased materially and permanently
from former figures. BY what sort
of logic can. the American Tariff be
made accountable for such results?
And here is another instance of the
lameness of the argument. Abiding
to the price of wheat, which has
been high and now is lower, one of
these critics says: THE Tariff on
wheat did not increase the price here,
neither has 1t caused the reduction
in price which has occurred but the
ineXorable law of supply and demand
which controls the price of commo-
dit-ss has produced this result" OF

But the admission OF the fact from

good proof that the whole perfor-
nance of charging high prices for
the necessaries of life to the Tariff
originated in foolishness and false
hood.-Troy Times.

McKinley's Mantle.

The following quotation Is taken
from the address of President r. +.
James of the Pennsylvania Bankers
Association at the sixteenth annual
convention recently held at Bedford
Pa.
Federal legislation as to the regu-
lation of corporations, and more espe-
cially the continued agitation of the
subject of federal control of cor
porations, have been the fruitful cause
of hesitation, uncertainty and fear of
business circles, and have produced
an abundant crop of misfortune. Their
was ample room for the curtailing of
corporate action, If not of corporate
power. Abuses existed calling for re-
preston, but a reasonable degree of
good judgment in APPLYING remedies
might have saved the innocent at
least some portion of the enormous
losses and depreciations in value
which have naturally followed the
tornado system of paternal control.
Notwithstanding the fact that those
economists now occupying the public
eye declare that the best way to des-
troy the hornets nest is by firing
your barn, there still remains an un-
fortunate minority who nurse I'M
spoken objections to this remedy.
Conservation is applied to the remote
wilderness. Only destruction is the
remedy at home. 1t is to be hoped
that at some time within the present
era the limelight, the brass band and
the political dancing dervish may
weary and disappear and statesman
ship may again resume where Nc
Kinley dropped the mantle.

II is amazing to notice the san
guine plans Of the democracy to
defeat Caleb Powers for Congress in
the Eleventh District, in the light
of the fact that Powers received about
four thousand votes more than the
combined Edwards vote and the DEM
ocratic vote in the district. We fail
to see how they are to defeat Pow
ers, unless they can secure several
thousand votes from those who voted
for him in the primary and also
the entire Edwards vote, which is
not very probable.

The Hartford Herald accounts for
the use of the same editorial by it
and the Greensboro Inquirer last week
Through the admission that it is using
syndicate stuff sent out by the Head
quarters, located somewhere. 1t

guilty of the same offense and that
therefore it is justified. This paper
has used material from headquarters

beled as such, and not used bodily as

Dispatches from the Indianapolis en-
campment all show that the Ken
lucky State Guard has been severely
criticised by the regular army Off
GERS for lack of discipline and in
sufficient equipment. 1t is agreed
that Adjutant General Johnson, who
~ at the head of the Stae militia, is
responsible more than anyone for
this condition. This is the same
General Johnson, who some months
ago went into an editors office in
Louisville, and in the interests of
Law and Order" smashed a cane
over the editors head, because he
had dared to criticise the General,
who OF course is above criticism.
This same head OF the Law and Or
der forces in Kentucky is also a
good Democrat. When he committed
this offense against law and order he
should have beeen removed at once,
by the Governor of Kentucky II for
NO other reason to make his many
speeches square with his actions. In
fact IL is our opinion that General
johnson should have been removed
before he was appointed.

Why have woman suffrage9 Because the bare
suggestion of enlarging the sphere OF woman's In
fluence in the political world raises violent pro
test from the most vicious and debasng elements In
society. Irrespective of all other conclusions one
may reach in connection with this agitation, this one
fact alone should determine the attitude OF the
thoughtful citizen toward the problem Of woman
suffrage.
Our civilization is becoming complex, and
new and grave social problems press with ever IN
creasing persistency for solution. The dominant
commercialsm of this age is SCATTERING old ideals
and substituting ones, the most noticeable OF
which seek to establish the pre-eminence OF dollars.
The modern mother, realizing that her children
are surrounded by the muck and mire OF gross and
sordid materialism and conscious OF her weak posi-
ton in political society," is growing alarmed at the
dismal outlook and is reaching for the most potent
weapon society give her for the protection OF her
family; the ballot.
Happily for America, mothers are awakening to
the fact that whole social fabric is rotten, and
that in the natural course of events there is very
great probability that her children will simply in
the great army Of victims of greed and social
ignorance. She is learning that the ballot box the
source of political power; that ntrenched privilege
in this country fears nothing but demonstration
at these same ballot boxes She has the mascu-
line element monopolize the functions of govern
ment and line the streets of cities with pitfalls
where the innocent and unwary may blast their
lives in careers of crime. She has seen 2,0O00OO
child slaves victims of mans greed coming their
lives into money, while the noble animal who monop-
ozes the elective franchise sits calmly by and APP
parenty relishes the spectacle.
Do you wonder that outraged womanhood cries
aloud for weapon with which to smite these arch
enemies of the home and civilization and do you won
der that the beneficiaries Of privilege alarmed
at the prospect of their chief victim being clothed
with political power?
Thanks to the enlightening and educating influ-
ence of progressive journalism, are learning
that these questions are primarily economic and po
litcal, rather than purely moral, and they propose
to settle them on the political field.
Good people may oppose woman suffrage, and
many of them do, but they have aligned themselves
with bad crowd in this fight. For whether they
know it or not they have the enthusiastic two-hand
ed support of every saloon and dive keeper crooked
politician and law-defying public corporation in
these United States. -
