ÜBLICAN NEWS ITEM. JHABLES L WIMu, Editor. I J ubli«hed Alternoon ' By The Sullivan Publishing Co. At the County Boat of Sullivan County. laportk PI. Entered at die Post Office at Laporte, as seeoud-class mail matter. If it lias been proved that like ar ticles, partially governed by American trusts, sell for much tnu money in nontarlff countries, the natural con clusion to make is that the way to deal with offending trusts is not to take off the tariff upon American commerce and industries, which would knock the prop from under a prosperous nation, but to legislate carefully upon the mat ter and bring into subjection any man or set of men forming a corporation or trust and force them to provide the public with such commodities as are II ecssary to the people's welfare at the smallest possible prices. It would be a gross mistake to tamper with the tariff. While not hurting the trusts materially it would throw out of posi tion several millions of American la borers. Can it be possible that women have forgotten the agony of lS!t2 to 1597 or that men would willingly leave their families again and be compelled to seek work in vain in other places, as was the case in those years? Thinking people cannot forget in six short years the unspeakable horror of (J rover Cleveland's last administration, caused by a wicked reduction of the tariff. The fact that during the late coal strike no Democrat in position or out raised his voice against the outrageous treatment of our coal miners by the ceil operators demonstrates that they do not care so long as they have plenty of campaign material. The Democratic leaders cried bitter tears of regret when they heard that Theodore Roose- elt had forced the operators to come to Washington and made them consent to arbitration upon the strike trouble. The workitiginan can draw his own in ference as to which are his friends— Democrats or Republicans. It was the unexpected panie during < 'le\ eland's reign that caused the wom en to wake up to their positions. For the tirst time they saw that politics had everything to do with their com fort and happiness. They commenced to inquire the cause of the trouble. Many men knew as little of its effect as their wives. They began to com p: re the prosperous years under pro tection with the free trade slump and made up their minds to put William McKinley in the chair. Never have we known such prosperity or such uni versal satisfaction of the workingmen. .Mothers, why should you cavil at the price of your children's shoes or at the food that they eat when you have more than enough money wherewith to buy them? Why do you complain, O house wife, that your servant girl asks $2 or ,s:j more a month than you have hereto fore paid? Don't you remember, dear lady, that eight years ago times obliged you to discharge your servant because of financial shortage? Do you not know that it is always a sign of pros perity when the servants suddenly see that their services are in demand every where? If you want to grumble about the beef and sugar trusts, go ahead, but think well before you chop down the tariff that protects your husband's earnings and makes your home com l'oris and happiness. Don't scold about tlie signs of prosperity, sueh as a few dollars added to your servant's wages, or, in fact, any money that you pay out and that goes into the pockets of labor. Sueh things should not distress you. Demand, if you will, little grumbler, proper legislation as to illegitimate trusts and corporations, and sensible people will be with you. But do not argue for free trade as a cure for ag gregated capital, for that means a de terioration of American industries and Will not help the complaint. GRACE MILLER WHITE. For What RonnonT The Philadelphia Record, a strenu ous free trade newspaper, expresses the opinion that if the tariff were tak en out of politics by the creation of a permanent commission and If congress should be guided by the advice of such a commission, "after the first year there would not remain protected in terests enough to warrant the expenses of the body." Herein is to be found the reason why the idea of a nonpollt ical tariff commission finds favor with Democrats and free traders. It would, as they believe, mean the death of protection. Surely Republican business men do not for the same reason favor the nonpolitical tariff commission plan. For what reason, then, should any Re publican business man favor it? An Obvious Truth. Whatever the Democrats may say, the whole world acknowledges that the Republican party, by its introduction of correct business methods, has brought the grandest era of prosperity to the United States that hns been giv en to any country on the face of the globe.—-Buffalo News.
