EDITORIAL riENTION.
Mr. Bryan ought to be able to
raise a substantial sum among
British shipbuilders and shipown
ers because of his anti-American
ship subsidy bill plank in the
Democratic national platform this
year.
The battleship Oregon will come
home with a patch on her hull.
This was the normal condition of
the American laborer's trousers
during the late Democratic admin
istration.
The .Vorth Carolina Democrats
have again red-shirted that state.
They will now turn their attention
to national affairs and join Mr.
Bryan in the protest against •'gov
ernment without the consent ofthe
governed.''
Chairman Jones declares that
the Cotton Compress Trust, of
which he is a stockholder and
beneficiary, is authorized by the
constitution. We believe the same
claim was set up by the promoters
of the Tammany Ice Trust.
The brave General, Lawton, a
life long Democrat, lost his life be
cause of the encouragement given
Aguiualdo by his American sympa
thizers. The Democratic leaders
have the audacity tu ask the voters
to endorse that policy in Novem
ber.
•'Elect, me to the Presidency.
The Senate is safely Republican,
and it would be impossible for un
to do any harm to the country
during the next four years." Does
the country «vant a chief executive
who is compelled to make such a
plea in his own behalf?
General Ferdinand C. Latrobe,
an old line Democrat who served
as mayor of Baltimore for seven
terms, declares that MeKinley and
Roosevelt will carry .Maryland by
a handsome majority. Mr. Gor
man declines to identify himself
with the Bryan campaign in that
state.
The D ■>. ioeratic plea that the Hi
to 1 plank was inserted in the
Kansa- Ci y platform to fool the
populist- is not calculated loin
spin- confidence on the part ol the
other voti rs, \ party that prac
tices deception upon one class of
voters will not hesitate to enlarge
its field in that particular line.
Of Interest to Labor.
Republican Platform. Democratic Platform.
We renew our faith in In the interest ofAmer
the policy of protection ican labor and the up
to American labor. In lifting of the working
that policy our indus- man,asthecorner stone
tries liave been entab- of the prosperity of our
lished, diversified and country,we recommend
maintained. By pro- that Congress create a
tecting the home mar- department of labor in
ket competition has charge of a secretary,
been stimulated and with a seat in the Cabi
production cheapened, net, believing that the
Opportunity to the in- elevation of the Ameri
ventive genius of our can laborer will bring
people has been secured with it increased protec
and wages in every de- tion and increased pros
partment of labor main- perity to the country at
tained at higher rates — home and to our com
higher now than ever merce abroad,
before—and always dis
tinguishing ourworkiug
people in their better
conditions of life from
thise of any competing
country.
Here are the respective planks of
the two platforms on the question
of improvement of the condition of
the American workingman. These
I planks are worthy of a little study.
The Republican plank is positive,
frank and definite. It distinctly
says that the Republican plan for
bettering the condition of American
labor is to maintain the policy of
! protection; to protect, by a tariff,
the labor of the United States from
the competition which free trade
would certainly produce in allow
ing the products of pauper labor
from both England and Asia to
come into the American market
and thus stopping mills, factories,
mines and the thousands of indus
tries now furnishing remunerative
employment to American skill.
What does the Democratic plat
form promise? In another plank
it opposes a protective tariff, and
for the uplifting of the condition of
American labor it promises nothing
more and nothing better than the
creation of another office. They
say in effect, we love the American
laborer so much that in the event
of our success at the polls, we
promise to try to create a secretary
and a lot of other office-holders to
look after the interests of the labor
ing men, unmindful of the fact that
there is already a non-partisan de
partment of labor doing efficient
and satisfactory work for the labor
interests of the country. Were the
labor interests of the country to be
placed in charge of a cabinet officer,
the matter by the very nature of
the case would have to become par
tisan.
Laboring men can easily weigh
the respective merits of the two
parties with reference to their in
fluence on the question of work and
wages by comparing the tramping
armies, the charity soup houses,
the silent factories, the grass-grown
railroads, and the stagnation of
1893 and ISII4 —produced by the
Democratic threat of a policy of
free trade or revenue tariff—with
the protective tariff and its results,
as seen to-day with busy mills,
crowded railways, employed labor,
good wages, and the heaviest ex
ports ever made by thisorany other
country since nations began to ex
change product. Labor will be
slow to give up an evident, tangible,
constant condition of prosperity
for the promise of creating another
office to be filled by a henchman of
the boy orator of the Platte.
Bryan says it is better to open
the mints and cut the dollar in
which wages are paid in the middle.
President MeKinley says it is better
to open the mills and continue to
pay good wages in the best money
the world has ever known. It is
for labor to decide which of the two
policies is most likely to butter his
bread.
Some recent events have tended
to take the barbed wire edges off
of (he word "militarism."
mtm
The Democratic orators are be
ing instructed to use the soft pedal
on the 10 to 1 plank of the Kansas
City platform. Thus do they ap
ply the scuttle policy to their own
declaration of principles.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
(Spocial Correspondence.)
CHICAGO, Aug. 22—The political
situation, so far as the Republican
outlook is concerned, may be sized
up in one word—over-confidence.
The great trouble at the present
moment is that everybody nearly,
and especially the Republicans,
are too busy making money, get
ting their crops in, earning good
wages at their situations in the
mills all over the country, and, in
short, feeling very contented that
one who comes along to talk poli
tics linds little encouragement.
The correspondence, the clippings
from the newspapers, the private
communications received from lead
ers in various states, all indicate
that this danger of over confidence
is liable to be the great one. It
ought to be said, however, that the
officers of tlie Republican National
Committee are fully alive to this
danger. They like to receive the
reports of prosperity—and the re
ports also that as many millions of
voters as possible, especially Re
publican voters, are having a very
good time of it financially. But
they do not allow themselves to be
lulled into any feeling of false se
curity by this. They have been
looking from the drop of the hat.
and that, according to all reports,
is the exact condition in the East.
The Republican leaders believe that
they will win, but they are, going
to work harder and harder to bring
about that consummation; and
they propose to take 110 chances.
One of the best advertisements
ever written simply said:
"No time to write advertisements
—too busy selling hats."
That about expresses the present
situation.
#*#
Ft is equally evident that the
Republican leaders, orators, writers
and workers of various kinds are
going to chase 110 rainbows, that
is because they are going to take
no chances. You do not hear those
who really know their political
business saying that this or that
is going to be a "paramount issue."
They know better than to make
any such predictions. It seems to
them that special issues are likely
to have to be discussed; expansion
or imperialism, if the Democrats
choose to call it that, free silver,
possibly the Chinese War. It is
likely to be almost anything, but
whatever it is these same Republi
can leaders, orators, writers and
other workers are going to be ready.
They are not going to be put 011
the defensive. They have been in
power, they have had responsibili
ties. They made promises four
years ago. They have fulfilled
those promises. They do not be
lieve that the opposition party, no
matter how harsh its criticisms
now, and no matter how fair its
promises, could have done better if
it had tried—probably could not
have done as well, having had less
experience, and, as everybody
knows, having made but a sorry
mess of it whenever it has had a
chance to try before.
So all the Republican workers
are going to meet the Democratic
workers more than half way. If
expansion or "imperialism" is the
issue, let the two platforms be com
pared. Bryan actually promises
nothing that the Republicans are
not now performing, lie says, to be
sure, that he would convene Con
gress and establish a protectorate
over the Philippines. He isn't
square enough to mention that
this would take about the same
kind of a standing army that we
are now maintaining, and to which
lie seems to object so strenuously.
So with the silver issue, he and all
his followers will have a chance to
explain whether Bryan, if elected,
j would not immediately, put the
country on a silver basis by paying
in silver, for he is permitted by law
to pay in "coin."
And perhaps the paramount is
sue may be the Chinese War. If
so. the Republican performance is
augury for the future. It is about
the platform of the gallant Me-
Calla, who, if i remember correct
ly. said, alter the commanders of
the Allies hesitated about advauc
ing:
"We seem to have come to no con
clusion in this conference, gentlemen,
but my Minister is in danger in Pekin
and I am going there !"
Ami he started, he and his hand
ful of marines and sailors. They
were repulsed, but they tried again
and it is believed the American
people are applauding.
A few years ago tlie South did
practically no manufacturing. It
now has over Sl.ooo,ooo,ooo —one
