TAHIFF AM) 7'W.V '
lu a recent speech Senator Hoar of
Massaehifctls said: "The only prac
tical remedy Mr. Hryan sun'csts for
I rusts Is. that If any protected article
be uianufnct tired by a trust that article
shall at once be put upon the tree list.
When Mr. Hryan comes to talk of trusts
he makes the tariff a very real and
vital Issue."
This proposed remedy Is simply an
attack upon the policy of protection by
the party that Is as much devoted to
free trade as It Is to free silver. Mr.
Hryan knows as well now as he did
some years njjo, when he made the
declaration, that trusts cannot be de
stroyed by removing duties on trust
inadc articles. .Some of Ihe trusts
hae no protection tinner the tariff
and others could exist without duties on
the articles they produce.
Hut how would the policy propoaed
by the Hryanlle party affect labor?
Suppose that policy were put Into effect
and the American market was thrown
open to the cheap labor products of
Kuropc. what would be the effect
upon American labor? Possibly Mime
ot the combinations would succumb
under the foreiKIl competition, hut
would American workiiiKiueii proilt
thereby? As a matter of tael, the prob
able, If not Indeed the Inevitable, out
come of tlie democratic policy would
be a reduction lu the waes of Ameri
can labor and a larp addition to the
number of the unemployed. Prom
this point of view Senator Hoar Is en
tirely correct In saying that when Hryuu
talks of trusts he makes the tarlif u
very real and vital Issue.

"It Is also, theoretically, one of the most

It must be that this has been noted
by every Intelligent person who has
given attention to the utterances of Mr.
Hryan during the past tlve or six weeks.
After bis not mention address, which
was almiM wholly devoted to a dis
cussion of "imperialism." It was very
generally thought that the democratic
candidate proposed to conduct his caui-jniau
palgu on a ldglcr plane than that of
four years ago. that he Intended to
appeal to the Intelligence and reason of
the people rather than to their passions
and prejudices. PosMbly this was his
original Intent, l'd " Wl,s M",u
abandoned after he entered upon bis
speech-making touts. Having found
that Ihe false ami empty cry of Ini
pfihtllsm and militarism tailed 'to
make the Impression upon the public
mind that he hoped for. ..Mr. Hryan re
turned to his familiar and reprehensible
tactics of four years ago In appealing j
to class hatred and endeavoring to array
one element of the people ngalnst an
other clement. I u some respects he has
this year been even more tlagrantly and
recklessly demagogic than in the' last
national campaign, as for example lu
his statement that the republican party
contemplates erecting forts near nil the
large cities and garrisoning them with
soldiers to be employed lu suppressing
labor agitations. Certainly demagogy
can reach no lower depth than this.
There 1 no doubt that Hr.vaulsm Is
on Hie down grade and there Is every
reason to believe that It will steadily
lose ground from now on to the day of
election, but none the less republicans
should not abate their zeal or lessen
their efforts. It Is Important to keep

The special session of the Michigan legis
lature, convened Wednesday, adjourned yes
terday afternoon after performing the tasks
assigned to It lu the gubernatorial message.
There was no reason for delay, no neresslty
for debate. The reforms under tons deration
had been discussed for yeurs, Governor l'ln
gtee having made hluiBelf their active cham
pion. The total disappearance of opposition
to them lu his own parly and the complete
ness of his success show that he was right
and reasonable in- his contention
that the taxation laws of Michigan
permitted injustice and inequality. The call
for an extraordinary session was a shrowd
move. On the eve. of n presidential election
the opponents of the lingree measures were
certain to heed the demand for uniformity
and equity in taxation.
One resolution and two bills were adopted
by the legislature. The resolution provides
for the submission to the voters of a con-
"'"""""in iiiiii-ieiiiii-ui k iiik me nine ooarii
assessors power to assess corporate prop
erty at its actual value and at the same

the rate of general taxation has Increased,

Kx-Presldeat Harrison's Interview of
Wednesday, ln which ho announced his
purposo of voting for tho re-olectlon of
President McKlnley, concluded ns follows:
"The full dinner bucket is not a sordid
emblem. It has n spiritual significance
for tho spiritually minded. It mean
more comfort for the man and family,
moro schooling nnd less work for tho
children and a margin of saving for sick
ness and old age."
There Is not a worklngmnn In the Vnlted
Slates who will not nrinilt tho truth of
Mr. Harrison's remark. It has doubtless
been proved more than onco In the llfetlmo
of every one of them. An empty or half
empty dinner pall means small wages, or
tho loss of wages entirely, und that means
tho cutting down of household expanses,
a deprivation of tomforts, fewer conven
iences for every ono, a lowering of th
standard of living and a surrender of plans
for betterment in tho futuro. Tho empty
or half-empty dinner pall typifies all this
nnd sometimes more. No nation can per
manently prosper whoso peoplo nro uot
well fed and well clothed. Intellectual as
well as material progress is based on a
well-niled stomach which nourishes brain
and body. And In Hits country thero Is no
better indication of how tlie peoplo are
fed than the state of the dinner pall which
holds one of the chief meals of the day.
Mr. Hryan. In some of hli later speeches,
has tried to ridicule the full dinner pall
argument by asking whether the American
peoplo aro gluttons and if tho only way to
Influence them Is to appeal to their stom
achs and appetites. Mr. Hryan knows
what the full dinner pall Implies and his
shallow attempt to ridicule it is on y one
more Illustration of his Insincerity and
superficiality. The Intelligent Amnrlran
worklnjtman will ruicut Air. Hryan's lltp
paat teniark and will recognize the
"spiritual significance" of the full dinner
pall which ex-I'resldent Harrlsou points
out. Ho knows that It expresses comfort
at home, well-dressed children at school,
the family pew in tho church and that
general feeling of satisfaction which comes
to every man who knows he Is having an
opportunity to use the gifts with which
nature has endowed him. Mr. Mryan
stands for none of these things, and hence
he ran see no "spirituality" In the full
dinner rati.

If Mr. Hryan was correctly reported in
the Indianapolis Sentinel on tho Increas
ing menace of the regular army to labor,
ho laid himself onen to the vigorous nl-
14,000 men. A large number of these posts
are in tho west. They worn used us fron
tier statlona in Indian warfare. Hut It Is
true that there aro garrisons aboul most
of the large cities, ln fact, Mr. llrjan's
warning conies too bite. Fort Sheridan Is
near Chicago; Fort Thomas Is across tho
river from Cincinnati; Jefferson Barracks
aro near St. Louts; Fort Hnollliig Is near
St. Paul und Minneapolis: Fort Logan
near Denver, Fort Crook near Omabn, und
Fort Leavenworth "menaces" Kansas City.
Portland. Me., Ilnston, Providence, New
York, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta,
Detroit, Austin, Sua Diego, Saa Fr.uniiseo,
Salt Lake City, Little Hock and Portland,
Ore., uro all similarly "thieatened."
Hut it must bo remembered that many
of tliese cities huvo been so "menaced"
by th military for years. Yet their In
habitants are apparently as free from ar
bitrary and duspotlc ruli. as tho peoplo
of Hloomlngton. III., tho peaceful homo of

According to General Davis, commanding
the Department of Porto Itlro, the garrison
on t but laland, numbering about U,C00 troops,
might be rarely reduced to eighteen lom
panles or oven less. All that Is really nee led,
In fact, Is a, nominal force of soldiers, whotj

for an army of occupation on the island,

And this aiuluible system, while pro
tectltiK the rights of the weak, would not
humiliate or wound the natlouul pride of
the stronK, Mlicc it does not uttempt to
trench oa tho sovereignty or autonomy
of any power.
Let us cherish the hopo that the day Is I
not far off when the reign of the Prince of j
l'eaco will bo firmly established on the earth, ;
when the spirit of the gospel will so far
suay tho minds and hearts of rulers that
standing armlcb will yield to permanent
courts of arbitration, that contests will be '
carried on In Ihe council chamber Instead i
of the battlefield, and decided by the pea
liii.tcinl of the sword. j
Kxperleaee has shown that strikes ore a
drastic and, at liest a Tery questionable,
remedy for the redress of the laborer's
grievances They paralyze Industry, they
often foment tlerre. passions and lead to '
the destruction of property, nnd. above all.
they result la indicting grievous Injury on
the laborer himself by keeping hlni in en
forced Idleness, during which his mind is
clouded by discontent while brooding over
his. situation, and his family not infrequently
surfers fioni the want of even the neces
saries of life.
It would bo u vast stride In the Interests
of peace and of tho laboring classes If tho
policy of arbitration, which is now gaining
favor for I ho settlement of International
quarrels, wcro also availed of for the ud
Justmoiit of disputes between capital and
labor. Many blessings would result from
tho adoption of this method, for vihllo
strikes, ns the name Implies, are aggressive
nnd destructive, arbitration Is conciliatory
und constructive; the result In the former
rase Is determined by the weight of the
purse, in tho latter by the weight of the
argument.
SO STUCK l.V CALAMITY.
' One Coriioriltlon 1'lnees Order fur
I Vnm tlllllltltle of Steel.
Washington Post.
CoatrnctH for steel rails, Involving na
expeudltuio of JS.90ti.000. have Just been
awarded by tho Pennsylvania Hailroad
cou.pany. Here Is a bit of Industrial news
worthy of moro than passing attention, not
so much on account of the magnitude of
tho tratibactlon. hut rather because of
tho time chosen to place the order. A
grent corporation ono of tho greatest la
tho world Is hore shown to be wholly un
affected by tho pending political uproar.
It needs tho rails and bays them. Tho
order Is not a contingent one. There Is no
string nttnrlied to It. Tho Pennsylvania
railroad Is not playing politics, tint at
tending to business, it makes thu con
ttucts In tho regular course of Its affairs.
Such a transaction Is slgnlllcnnt la ex
hibiting nn utter disbelief In tho dire, fore
boilings now heard from tho stump In
every part of tho fair land. Clearly tint
1 Pennsylvania railroad takes no stock lu
tho calamity slirleklugs of either side. It
foresees nn crisis next mouth or there
after. Whatever tho outcome of tho elec
tion, this corporation will keep on doing
business as heretofore. It Is evidently
giving no morn thought to tho Idea that
wreck and ralu will follow the success ef
tho party out of power than to the equally
ahf-urd theory that tho existence of ths
republic will be threatened by tho re
elei tlon of the party In power.
Tho Pennsylvania Hailroad company, lo
common with conservative business Inter
ests generally, doubtless prefers and ex
pects tho re-election of Mr. McKlnloy, but
P. is sensible enough to know that tho
country will be safe and the covernment
will live whatever may happen at the
polls.

With the results of the twelfth humi
as jet lin otnplete, enough Is already m.
hand to show at least one unsuspwctml tie
velopmelit. It Is the tact that the grow 1 1
of population in d'ties of over 2i,ono iiid.u
Hants during the decade Just closed
less by nearly 2 per cent titan curing i;,.
ten years eliding In lvio. Complrl" re
turns may show that tho percentage of
gala lu the country us a whoto has alb .
decreased, hut It Is not likely that Hi.
same large percentage of tleiTiaso will b.
maintained. It Is also probable, If uot
quite certain, that the purely nrn nr wr-.
population has not Increased lit an.
greater rate lhati during the dflcu ,e l.
twecll 1(S0 and 1S90. If, Indeed, c n4

ciuslou Is therefoiu that the ftrcatflst t.,
cent of Increase in pnpuUtlnn w.ll .
fnund In the iltles and towns which lu."
less than 2.'i,uG0 population.
If these conclUilotiH are correct it Is a
mailer for decided congratulation, one m
the greatest problems of modern times has
beea and Is that of proper living for tie
cocKi'Hted population of the great cities
For tho lst half century the movement
of population to the groat cities has b t
so large ami so rapid ns to alarm ulo
men, who found continually nrvv and dm.
gerous conditions developing moro swic
than they could bo handled. grailu..!
oven tf u alow, movement toward d.
smaller towns will relieve the strain n"
make the present urbua problems eas
of solution. It Is probablo It will b foun .
If the final figures should provn to vertf
what appear to be the facts, that n larg.
part of the growth lu small towns an i
rural communities is due to the reioou!
of former t ity residents to suburban
places, where they can live more t'im
fortably and tnoru normally, while at' tic
i-aine tlmo doing business or working In
the city. This movement has been notice
able within the last few enrs and has
been supplemented by the loi atlon of many
newcomers ln tho same suburban tow in
who a few years" ago would have bun
likely to make their homes In the crow tie I
quarters of the etttea. Matty fnetone.
have alio moved thHr plants out Into the
country, near some large city, and their
employes hnvo followed them.
Altogether the shifting of the resident
population from the city to the suburb Is
a healthy sign. More suburbs mean fewer
slums and tenement houses, fresher nnd
purer atr. a more natural home life and a
better chance for the growth and training
of the rising generation.
