WHY THE LANDSLIDE
SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF DEMO.
CRATIC VICTORIES
Periodical Desire for. a Turnover In
National Affairs-PeopIe Did Lit
tie Sitting of Men and
Their Principles.

"Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked"
AS It was in the days of Moses, so
1t is now. A long period of fat and
prosperous times breeds the ferment
of wide and deep unrest. A nation
grows discontented in It's money-mak-
ing and yields to the old tendency to
upset what is on top and bring low
what is high. The desire to smash
things comes to the surface with re-
sistless force and little discrimination.
The last Democratic Congress went
out of existence in 1895. In the 10
years since then new generation has
grown up. 1t has had no personal
knowledge of the effects of a Demo
cratic control of the lawmaking ma
chinery of the national government
And it seems that every generation
must burn its own fingers.
This, in the large view, is the mean
ing of the general and emphatic DEM
ocratic victories. The voters did little
sitting of men and the principles they
stood for, taking the country as a
whole. They voted for the party that
is out, against the party that is in.
1t was a landslide for a turnover in
national affairs.
Certain individuals ride the tidal
wave of Democratic success In a way
of the country. Governor Judson Har-
mon is the chief of these special bene-
ficiaries of his party's sweeping tri-
umphs. He stands today by far the
most conspicuous and commanding fig
ure in the national Democracy. He
is almost certain to be the next Demo
cratic candidate for president.
The great special interests in big"
business that have been the target at
which millions of voters struck, often
blindly and with misdirected energy,
come out of the battle with their espe-
cial favorite given a fine start toward
the White House. Ohio, state sure
ly desirous of weakening and curbing
these privileged forces I'm politics,
makes their particular favorite the
most promising presidential candidate
of the victorious party.
BY comparison with this outstand-
ing and vital fact details are of little
moment. They can be found, in great
and strange variety, in the returns
from many states. "Standpat' candi-
dates have fallen with progressives.
Here and there a Republican of each
wing of the party has won a notable
victory. But in the large sense the
unrest, the eagerness for change, took
small account of individuals. 1t made
a great party its target and struck at
everything Republican.
Jeshurun has kicked. II he ceases
to wax fat he will soon kick harder in
the opposite direction.-Clevelan
Leader.

TARIFF RULES WAGE SCALE
Reduction In the One Must Inevitably
Mean a Reduction In the
Other.

AS the tariff goes up or down, so
wages move up or down. Frank A.
Munsey, whose Washington paper, the
Times, has been looked upon as a
stanch advocate of tariff revision, gave
an interview at Ialzburg, Germany, to
the New York Herald, that affords lit
tie comfort to the insurgents. IF the
tariff is reduced" says the logical Mr..
Munsey, 1--WE cannot maintain the high
wage rate now in force. You can't
have both. A lowering of the tariff
would invite an influx of foreign goods
produced by cheap labor, and wages
in our country would have to go down
with the tariff as a matter of business
eXpediency or business existence" 1t
is for the American workingman to
choose which he will haye-adequate
protection with high wages or INSULT
cient protection with low wages and
low standard of living.
The minority report of the senate
committee on wages and prices, whose
superficial and partisan conclusions
have now been made public, takes the
ground that if the protective tariff be
removed and prices allowed to sink,
the question of wages may be trusted
to take care of itself. Comparing free
trade Great Britain with various pro-
tectionist countries of Europe, the re-
port has the imprudence to say: The
general testimony is that the rate of
wages for all mechanical trades is sub
stantially higher in Great Britain than
in those protectionist countries, while
the prices of necessities are lower,
leaving the Englishman wider mar
gin to live upon" The report cites a
table published in Whitaker's Alma
nae to show that, in the 60 years dur
ing which Great Britain has had free
trade, wages have increased Sl.7 per
cent. and prices only three per cent.
If these figures be correct then wages
60 years ago were fearfully low and
out of all proportion with prices. Rep
resentative Hamilton of Michigan, fur
nishes table, which, as printed in
the Congressional Record, tells to-
tally different tale. The table repre-
sents a comparison of wages for an
eight-hour day in the United States
and Great Britain. The wage OF gen
eral laborers in the United States is
$1.36, as against so cents in Great
Britain The average daily wage for
bricklayers. stonecutters, stone ma
sons, carpenters, painters, plumbers
and machinists in the United States
is s314, as against s15O in Great Brit.

Proof Of Benefits of Protection.

Sir-Suppose Oliver Mcknight and
"A Democrat" take a walk among the
hardware dealers and see the shelves
loaded with American goods (instead
of former foreign ones). due to Amer
lean protection, wouldn't that jar
them" If this does not suit, sup
pose they look back about 80 years
and note the prices of wire cloth and
wire nails and then and now. won't
this convince them that the consumer
is benefited? Or, suppose they refer
to the "robber tariff OF a few years
ago on tin plate, and note that on ac-
count OF protection" we have thou
sands OF hands at work that bought
their groceries in Europe before the
''robber tariff" came in vogue. Sup
pose they go TO Harrisburg and see
there the immense plant turning out
black sheets finer than in Europe, and
now exported TO Europe. due TO start
on account OF protection.
Is protection al the expense Of the
consumer? Facts disproye Il.
