Democrats May Ask
"Why organized Labor wants the Referendum.
"Why, to stop the strikes, and the shootings, and
the "Vampire" Judges.
They know that if the people were in power
that if we had a ItEAX DEMOCRATIC GO
VERNMENT, that Labor would get justice.
Public opinion, WITHOUT THE POWER
to enforce its sentiments (see the coal strike) is a
farce, but Public Opinion HACKED BY

Senator Charles W. Fairbanks op
ened the republican campaign In Ind
iana at Newcastle on September 20.
Ho said regarding the tariff:
"The republican party may be relied
upon to modify tariff schedules when
over their modification is demanded in
the interest of sound and wholesome
industry and commerce, and the modi
fication will never be made to destroy,
but to build up. "Wo realize that in
the evolution of production, under
changed conditions, schedules from
time to time need modification; that is
to say, a rate of duty imposed upon a
specific article today because of im
proved methods in production or other
wise, may be found to be greater than
necessary a few years hence, but we
should have a care that modifications
are made, in accordance with the es
sential principles of protection. There
should be a clear and definite reason
for making changes. They should be
zuade after they shall have been found
to be necessary. There should be no
hesitancr in modifying any schedule
if the duty imposed therein should be
shown to work injury to our own pro
ducers or to our own commerce, or if
It shall be found to he greater than Is
necessary to fully protect American in
dustries and labor.
"It is not necessary to wait until
all the schedules require revision. The
subject must be considered in no nar
row, technical or vexatious way, bu
in a broad way; it must not be consid
ered in a way to disturb legitimate en
terprise, but in a manner to promote
its stability. Changes made in sche
dules along free trade lines are always
disquieting and hurtful, but if made
upon the clearest and fullest intelli
gent reconsideration of the protective
principle no legitimate enterprise can
do otherwise than prosper.
"It should -be borne in mind that if
the tariff is removed from articles with
respect to which trusts are formed,
not only the trusts would suffer, but
all of their smaller competitors would
suffer a3 well. It is entirely probable
that in the end the independent or
smaller producers would be the greater
sufferers and that the larger producers
would be more securely entrenched
in power by the destruction of their
independent competitors."
At the republican congressional con
vention of the Second Nebraska dis
trict held at Omaha, Neb., on Sep
tember 20, Congressman D. H. Mer
cer was renominated. The contest was
marked by a bitter factional feeling
among republicans of the district
A special dispatch to the Omaha
World-Herald from Hastings, Neb.,
tells of the interesting political situa
tion there. It relates to the efforts of
United States Senator Dietrich of Ne
braska to control the party organiza
tion of that district, and says:
The anti-Dietrich element set out on
a united and aggressive plan to cap
ture the primaries and defeat the plans
of Dietrich to capture the county con
vention and dictate the nominations,
especially the nominee for state sena
tor. Long since Dietrich, through his
political mouthpieces, has named his
choice. Yesterday Dietrich suddenly
found himself confronted with the fact
that the antls, led by M. A. Hartigan,
Leopold Halin, J. C. Hedge, P. P. Olm
stead and a score of other equally re
putable men in the party, were so over
whelmingly in the field as to foresha
dow a cinch in controlling the caucuses
and in turn tho county convention.
Not caring to moot with a humiliating
defeat, ho personally called upon some
of tho anti candidates and 'tried to
compromise and reciprocate on prom
ises, but they turned him down and
practically warned him that thoy
would not allow him or his preferred
candidates to be In it
According to a Washington dispatch,
advices from Nevada indicate that tho
republicans aro not making a very ac
tlvo canvass and that the state has
been substantially abandoned to tho
democrats who, under the leadership
of Representative Newlands, aro mak
ing a vigorous campaign. An Asso
ciated press dispatch says:
"Should Mr. Newlands bo elected to
the so; '0 he proposes to make anti
trust legislation an object of special
consideration, as he has done in tho
house. While he thoroughly indorses
tho. anti-trust speeches made by tho
president on his tours, he maintains
that the president and his party are
not In accord, and that sooner or later
the trust magnatos. who control tho
republican party according to Mr.
Newlands will shelve tho president
because of his anti-trust theories.
The state republican convention of
New York named tho following ticket
on September 24: For governor, B. B.
Odell, jr., of Orange; lieutenant gov
ernor, F. W. Higgins of Cattaraugus;
secretary of state, John F. O'Brien of
Clinton; treasurer, John G. Wickser
of Erie; attorney general, Henry B.
Coman of Madison; comptroller, N. B.
Miller of Cortland; engineer, B. A.
Bond of Jefferson; judge of the court
of appeals, W. E. Werner of Monroe.
On tho subjects of tho tariff and
trusts, the platform says:
i'The Integrity of the protective prin
ciple must bo preserved. The principle
Is required to maintain the highest
scale of American wages and tho su
premacy of the American workshop.
"While we would encourage busi
ness enterprises which have for their
object tho extension of trade and tho
upbuilding of our state, we condemn
all combinations and monopolies in
whatever form having for their pur
pose the destruction of competition In
legitimate enterprise, the limitation of
production In any field of labor, or tho
Increase of cost to the consumer of
the necessaries of life and wo pledge
tho party to tho support of such legis
lation as will suppress and prevent the
organization of such illegal combinations."
The democratic convention of tho
Third "congressional district of Cali
fornia nominated Calvin B. White for
congress on September 24,
A dispatch from Waterloo, la., under
date of September 24, says:
Former Governor Horace Boies to
day made public his letter accepting
the democratic nomination for con
gress in tho Third Iowa district now
represented by Speaker Henderson.
The letter Is devoted entirely to the
trusts and the tariff and. the only ade
quate remedy for tho evil with which
trusts are charged is declared to be
the removal of the tariff on trust-made
products. Heydeclares the trust ques
tion to be the most Important that now
agitates the public mind.
The letter says In part:
"The teachings of democrats logi
cally lead .them to believe that our
protoctivo tariff oyotom has rondo tho
organization of theso trusts possible
and ro long as It la continued thoy
will furni-h a dofonslvo breastwork
behind which thoy will find shelter
from every shaft that could reach a
vital part
"Tho futility of legislation, othor
than tariff reduction in restraint of
such action Is to them demonstrated
by tho fact that tho great bulk of "our
trusts havo boon openly organized in
tho faco of trust lawn carefully pre
pared and incorporated Into tho ntatr
utcs of tho nation and many of tho
states."
Mr. Boies continues:
"Tho democratic doctrine is that a
tax on consumers can bo rightfully
laid for one purposo only ,and that to
raise needed rovonuo for tho govern
ment This doctrine must bo inter
preted in tho light of conditions as
they exist when It Is appliod."
Then, speaking of tho position of
democrats, ho says:
"it is tho heart of tho trust they
would reach. To do this, they know
tho wall that shelters It must bo bat
tered down at tho pla.co whore it Is
conceal ed If this should reduce our
tariff system below a revenue basis
thoy would help to build it up higher
whenever or wherever a trust is not
sheltered behind it This is tho pres
ent day doctrino of a tariff for revenue
only as I understand it, and as I shall
Interpret it if I go to congress."
George H. Durand of Flint, Mich.,
who was nominated as tho democratic
candldato for governor of tho state,
has withdrawn on account of Illness.
Tho democrats of tho Eleventh con
gressional district of Iowa havo se
lected J. M. Parsons of Rock Rapids,
as candidate for congress.
