holding bin own on the instruction
business in the senatorial contest.
If anything, he has the best of it so
far. The "Luster" Lrown boom is
sightly on the wane just now, and
the people are rapidly finding out
that the attoinev-Kcneral is not so
much of a "trust -buster" as he pre
tends to be. The people never did

Tin-: report comes out of Wash

so disgusted at the failure of his
Philippines tariff bill that he is
ready to recommend abandonment
of the Islands unless congress does

most solid republican states in the

It is an opportunity for the great
mass of republicans in the United

break away from machine domina

A LnsToN raper which suiipoi ted
McKinley for the presidency in
1S')6, says that Uoosevelt's most
prominent characteristicsare "brag,
Muster, conceit, lawlessness, ego
tism, deceitfuluess, impudence,
treachery and heartlessiiess.'' The
same paper says that "Senator
Lodge orders the suppression of
every reference to reciprocity with
Canada and is obeyed without
Utiestion, whether in convention or
legislature." It likens Lodge to
nav and Tlattc. and asks: "Is it
not time for self-respecting rcpuh
licans to look elsewhere?''

Mr. Pollard will receive the leptib-

As vi-T the republican editors
uiven't quite caught any uniform
note except that of alarm and ap
prehension. They are calling fran
tically to the republican cohorts to
stand firm, demanding that repub
licans shall be united and unwaver
ing. They are sounding the old
caution against that division which
would inevitably mean ruin and
graphically picturing business panic
and manufacturing depression, but
apart from these lines of harmony
the republican editors seem to have
no views in common. One section
of the republican press, letting tin
wish father the thought, has unitei
in emt'haticallv predicting that
Pryau will never dare press the
taritt issue, but another section ot
the republican press is equally pos
itive and emphatic in the declara
tion that Pryan is sure to demand
that the next presidential campaign
be fought out on the issue of the
tariff and the trusts. These sur
face differences among our republi
can friends are entirely superficial
however, and few readers of the re
publican newspapers will escape the
conviction that the protective tariff
and all its evil offspring, the op
pressive trusts, are already the dom
inating issue in American politics.

"Standing pat" on the tariff and
other economic issues is absurd.
Conditions change with time and
what may be for the advantage of
the people one year, is to their dis
advantage hereafter. To "stand

statesmanship, but bourbonism.

stands uow for taxation without

even the plundering tariff law com
