Why, "thanks," to be sure, The Paramount Issue. Although their own convention has not yet named a presidential candidate, the Democratic politicians are already insisting that the tariff shall not be regarded as an Issue this year. They loudly assert that the money question must be pushea to the front; that the battle shal'. be between the standards; and that while this battle is being fought all other considerations must 'retire into the background. The Democratic press, although di vided as to the proper money plank to be adopted at Chicago, is unanimous in condemning Major McKinley for declin ing at Democratic behest to abandon the issue with which his name has won a world-wide identification, in order to take up the new Issue of gold against silver. They Inform him dally In great emphasis of double leads that . he Is barking up the wrong tree; that the tariff question is a back number; that the American people pay no more thought to that ancient Issue but are now to a man Intent upon the study of the financial problem. AH this exhuberant and singularly gratuitous advice from the enemy must mean something. Evidently they don't want McKinley to discuss the tariff. Evidently they want the tariff issue let alone. This fact, now unmistakable, affords to Republicans a singularly good reason why 'they should concentrate their fire upon the tariff target and not give the Democratic party a chance to assume the aggressive. Let It be clearly put before the puttie that until the Democrats began their recent flirtation with free trade, the currency of the United States was the best in the world, and there was plenty of It in circulation In payment of the best wages In the world. Let It be irmdo known that not until the Democrats bungllngly dissect ed tho protective tariff so that not even enough of it was left to raise requisite revenue did our currency system give trouble. Keep the battle on these grounds and it will end in easy victory. . Major McKinley In his Canton speech es Is wisely hewing to the main line. Demoralization and disaster began when Protection was assailed. They reached a climax when Protection was stricken down. They will be overcome and prosperity will reassert Itself when Protection la restored. , It Is a good! sign that among the nominations which ' are being made ,' throughout the country for the next congress there Is a large representation of practical business men. It used to ' be thought that the best man to send to , congress waa some one learned In the law. Lawyers, therefore, have long pre- ' dominated la that body. But the fact la at last gaining reaognltion that con gress should be, flrst of all, a business like and practical assemblage, and this recognition is bringing to the fore a noteworthy number of business men aa candidates. The next congress In par ticular will have to deal primarily with business subjects. The fitness, therfore, of sending good business men to it la apparent. - A Mayfleld subscriber asks us to ex plain what Is meant by the term "16 to 1." It means that one ounce of gold shall for coinage purposes be declared by law to be worth only 16 ounces of silver, whereas, according to market quotations. It Is worth 32 ounces of sil ver. It means an attempt to make CO cents' worth of silver equal In value 100 cents' worth of gold. Civil Service Reform. The progress of civil service reform has been steady and continuous In this country. The first legislation In Its be half was effected In 1858, when congress passed an act permitting the president to hold examinations to determine the fitness of applicants for certain offices. The next bill was Introduced In 1864 by Senator Charles Sumner. This was fol lowed by the Jenks bill In 1865, the Schurs bill in 18C9 and a bill. Introduced In 1871, which authorized the president to prescribe regulations for the admis sion of persons into the civil service of the United States and "to employ suit able persons to conduct such Inquiries." In December, 18S0, the present law was proposed by Senator Pendleton in the form of a bill that failed to be reported from the committee to which it had been referred. Then, on July 2, 1881, Gulteau, a dis appointed spoilsman, Bhot Garfield, and In the following December the Pendle ton bill was re-introduced. It aguin failed to pass, but was successful at the following session and became a law Jan. 4, 1SS3. It provided for the appoint ment of a commission to classify the civil service and to throw such offices as it should agree upon open to thoso who have satisfactorily passed com petitive examinations. During Presi dent Arthur's administration only a few more than 14,000 places were placed under the operation of this law. Presi dent Cleveland during his first adminis tration added 7,259 places; President Harrison, 8,690; and Cleveland during his second term had, up to last May, added 12,744 places. On the 6th of May by one order he put 29,399 more places under the protection of civil service rules, and later he added several hun dred other offices. Altogether, about 85,000 of tho 200,000 places In the federal civil service are now under civil service rules, the most conspicuous exceptions being the 70,000 postmastershlps and the 20,000 day laborers' jobs. Although the minor politicians have always been opposed to this reform, for the ample reason that It very mater ially curtails their opportunity of ex tracting personal profit out of politics, the sentiment of thinking people is in creasingly manifested In Its favor. The St. Louis convention took due recogni tion of this fact when it called attention to the fact that the civil service law was enacted by a Republican adminis tration, and pledged Itself to its thor ough enforcement. The Philadelphia Record lscertalnlyto be pitied. It finds very little consolation In any quarter. It is for the gold stand ard absolutely and Its party Is abso lutely against it. It terms the New York Democratic convention's money plank a "cowardly . straddle," and Intimates that much as it detests McKinleylsm it will support the Republican candi date if the Chicago platform Bhall de clare for free sliver. We don't Imagine that the Republican party is especially anxious to secure Its co-operation, but all recruits will be welcome save one. We don't want the support of Grover Cleve land. Mr. William Paul, a wealthy leather manufacturer of Leeds, England, who Is making a tour of the United States, informs a Washington Post reporter: "The common people of this country, the working class, are in every way su perior to the working people of Eng land or of any part of Europe. They are better dressed, live better, and are for more intelligent." The Republi can party, under the leadership of Will iam McKinley, does not propose that this superiority shall be sacrificed. Minister Denby says that In China "railroads, the electric light, physical science, a new navy, an Improved army, a general banking system, a mint, all In the bud now, will soon be In full flow er." rhe United States cannot afford to let Protection slide in the face of the new menace from the Orient. The New York World says Hobart ex pected over a year ago to be nominat ed for vice-president. Hobart himself says he did not until the last day of the convention have hope of success. The point is not material, but it is well to expose the World's untrustworthlness before any serious damage is done. We will be just to Wilkes-Barre. The Pittsburg Times did not know what It was talking about when It sold: "Wilkes-Barre Is never surprised to wake up and find In the morning paper a statement of some more of the town falling out of the town .boundaries." It is all well enough for the New York Democracy to declare for a "tariff for revenue only;" but their platform -would have come closer to the facts had It advocated a tariff for disaster only. Of course It Is very sad to learn from the London Standard that Major Mc Kinley "la neither distinguished, learned nor wise." But we guess he will have sense enough to choose aa our next am- baeaador to England a man who will not lower his Americanism by trying to sob It into British favor. It could have teem wished that the St. Louis plattorm-makera should have exhibited a readier recollection of the admirable public aervloea of Hon. Ben jamin, HarrlBoc The omission from their report, until the very last minute, of all reference to him waa a singular Instance of forget fulness. ' Out In Harmanvllle. Allegheny coun ty, a man named Toepfer, returning from a McKinley celebration, thought It would be fun to scare bis sleeping wife by shooting a pistol near h;r head. He shot the pistol and killed his wife. The question is, what waa Toepfers po litics? We do not believe he waa a Re publican. The women of Pottsvllle contribute to the literature of the times an edition of the Pottsvllle Republican whose twenty-four well-printed pages betoken much ability, care, enterprise and pa tience In their preparation. It la a feat of which the Schuylkill New Woman may justly feel proud. All accounts from Canton agree that Senator Quay will be the chairman of the Republican National Executive committee, the picked body which will do the real work of the campaign. No better selection could be made and prob ably none other one-half so good. The Salt Lake Tribune suggests that a war would be "beautiful thing" since it would "remonetize sliver In less than four months." Has our Utah contem porary any preference as to whom it would fight? The Republican candidate for gover nor of Illinois Is described as an illiter ate and an ex-murderer, and the Dem ocratic candidate Is a notorious dema gogue. It looks like a case of Hob son's choice. Although our Democratic friends pro fess to be cocksure of victory it Is no ticeable that the rush for the Chicago nomination Is still several points short of a stampede. If Mr. Whitney wants to do effective missionary work for the gold standard at Chicago he should provide himself in advance with a liberal supply of samples. Mr. Whitney neglects to explain why the Democrats should me a "me, too" party. We fail to observe any telegram of congratulation from Thomas C. Piatt. AMERICA FOR AMERICANS. From the Rochester Post-Express. The terse phrase, "America for Ameri cans," is likely to come Into very gen eral acceptance, as expressive of Republi can policy. Chauncey M. Depew us.ai it most happily, in his spech nominat ing Governor Morton, and other orators had already employed it. It is seen .n the press and will be repeated on a thousand platforms, during the ensuing campaign. What phrase could be better or more epigrammatic, as condensing Re publican doctrine? What phrase can b more inspiring? The Republican plat form has many words, all admirably chosen, as setting forth Republican prin ciples; but In these three words Is the es sence of Republicanism that Republican ism which, in the wider, yet definite, In. terpretation, embraces protection to American Industries, the maintenance In tact of American good faith, the uphold ing of the American flag, the guarding of American soil from foreign invasion or occupation, the Inviolability of the civil rights of every American citizen. The phrase lias "its limitation, of course. It does not mean that the cath olic invitation and generous welcome, ex tended, throughout the century of na tional development, to the refugees from the tyranny of the old world, to Its thrift and Intelllsence, shall cease. It does not stand for the prescriptive spirit of Know-Not hlnglsm; for it Is to be recog nized that American civilization is com posite, and that the strain of various races mingling In a common current has made the best citizenship. As It was once said of the Puritan settlement of New England, that "God sifted a whole nation that He might send choice grain over Into the wilderness," so has Europe furnished her roblest blood for the American body politic, and the processes of assimilation have been salvatory, as well as stimulative, of the truest national life; but "America for Americans" also means that when the Influx from the old world becomes perilous or poisonous to that national life. It shall be restrained, and that welcome ceases when Illiteracy and pauperism and crime seek to become incorporate with it. So the Republican platform says and so the Republican pol icy will maintain. "America for Americans" means that American labor shall be protected against Injurious foreign competition. It means that American manufactures shall be fos tered, that the American artisan shall receive due reward for the work of his hands, and that the markets shall re spond to the products of American farms. The phrase means that the American pol icy, which Hamilton inaugurated and Washington and Clay and Lincoln and Blaine advocated, shall again be affirmed In American legislation. It means that America will take care of Americana, be. fore she studies the interests of foreign merchants and manufacturers and na tions, or announces the reign in commerce of the brotherhood of man. It means that charity begins at home. It means that American furnace fires shall be lighted, and American eplndles shall whirl, and American homes abide in comfort, Amer ican prosperity be ordained, and reci procity obtain between American peo ples. It means that every American dollar shall be as good as gold that there shall be no lowering of the standards of American honor. It means honesty and good faith. It means American man hood. It means that American sea coasts shall be defended against hostile ships, and that the American merchant marine shall be rehabilitated, so that It may whiten every ocean, and the Ameri can flag be seen in every port. It means also that the doctrine, which an American president proclaimed over sv enty years ago, that no European power should occupy and extend Its dominion upon American soil, shall be sustained. It means an American policy, In our for eign relations, that policy which has been as consistently sb ignobly nullified by the present national administration. It means the development of the Ameri can nation upon the lines that have been almost uniformly pursued, since consti tutional government waa ordained. Not slnco Sumter was fired upon and the nation sprang to arms to defend its being, has the American sentiment been citizenship of America has felt that its Is today. The reason for this Is not far to seek, nor hard to find. It Is because the citizenship of American Das felt that its Integrity was assailed by a nerveless for. sign policy, both in business and In poli tics, aad by reckless agitation and fanatio onslaught upon American honor. It fa because, under such policies aad by such agitation, the Americas name has Buf fered, aad distress, disaster, and ruin have visited American homes. America for Americans, therefore, la Its highest slgniaaanee and in Its rurthest outrcaon, is what the American people demand, and what they will obtain In the vindica tion at the polls of Republican principles.
