A Difference in Principle.

Milwaukee Journal: The attitude of
the Insurgent or Progressive Republi-
cans toward the reciprocity treaty is an
impressive object lesson of the true
distinction between Republicans and
Democrats so we'll expressed by Gov.
Woodrow Wilson. The Republican
party stands for special privilege to
some one or some class. It's doctrine is
that by artifcially promoting the pros
perity of some, the overflow of that
prosperity will benefit the general COM
munity; that the enrichment of the
iron trust by law protected profits will
result in the employment of great num-
bers of persons at liberal wages and
create home market for agricultural
products.
The Democratic party stands for the
proposition that government has no
right to consciously confer a privilege
on one class to advantage over another.
The progressive Republicans, while
assailing many of the existing privileges
in which they have hearty support, do
so not on the ground that all law made
preference is wrong but that improper
selection of favorites has been made.
They assail the reciprocity treaty be-
cause it takes away certain supposed
preferences to farmers and individual
producers. The true Democratic posi-
ton is that all government favors are
wrong; that all ought to be abolished
and therefore they should join in every
attack on any. Doubtless they agree
that bounties or protection to the meat
packers is worse abuse than the pres
ent protective tariff to cattle raisers
and would rather see abolished the for
mer than the latter if the choice were
before them. But the latter is wrong
in principle and even it's abolition is a
step forward.
The outrages upon the community at
large can never be remedied by merely
changing favorites. The only prospects
of real radical reform must be found in
planting ourselves squarely upon the
doctrine of equal rights under the law
for all men and all classes and special
privilege to none.

Badly Injured by a Horse.

~ Ny - AAoA 81
Dodgeville Sun Republic, June 30:
Roy Blotz, aged 81 years, second son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Blotz, met
Saturday evening with a terrible
accident.
While leading large three year old
draft colt into the barn it is supposed
the horse, stubborn as it was, became
unmanageable upon reaching it's stall,
consequently throwing Roy with the
halter strap or being crushed against the
partition. In few moments time an
older brother, who was watering other
horses on the outside noticed that the
big draft colt had in some way broken
loose. Being unable to see Roy he at
once went into the barn and found him
lying in an unconscious condition with
blood flowing from his head. Upon
examination by the doctor a deep cash
was found extending from his cheek
into his mouth.
1t was learned yesterday that he is
slowly recovering and probabilities are
that he will recover without permanent
injury.
