our only ism Am mericanism
 SyYn9'S the Thing.

We have witnessed the drab spec tacle of two groups of men, trading principles like competitors in a fish market in the hope that some com , promise would win public support. i They have not come together-they 1 have fallen out over the 'sWag.' For the sake of victory; many of these men, essentially opposite in principle, have been willing to become friends with false masks. The result is in- evitable, divided they fall We are proud in the thought that United we stand We welcome the pent up Americanism of the real progressives individually to our ranks; offering them Q haven, in a principle. Their leader has abandoned them with crass cruelty.
 "The gentleman from Oyster Bay in a recent letter to Chicago quotes Abraham Lincoln as saying: May not all, having a common interest, re- unite in a common effort to save our common country. Ladies and gen. tlemen I beg to call your attention to the word reunite. The words Save the country have been the disguise of the opposition for years. There may be a political war today, in this put that war OILY 0xlSCS Do- tween factions. Why did the gentle
 man quote the words of Lincoln, in the hope of reuniting Americans? Mo- Americans are reunited as never before. He meant by reuniting that two factions of his party should re- unite. These two factions or parts of them hoped to join for self-ag- grandizement Leaders of these two ia actions-factions powerless as en- tities-hopes to join hands, however, strained and however divided on ir- reconcile ble principles; for the past four years stood united in common cause, whose shiboleth is one for all and all for one; equal rights and special privileges to none; whose chief tenet of faith is that America is American and Americans are America.

finers or the consumers would benefit
by the reduced tariff has been and is
rtin point Of partisan debate.
