The flcKlnley Programme,
IX Tim UflHT of 'yesterday's
tragic happening nt Buffalo the
president's speech of tho day
before gains new significance. In
It he outlines for himself, and for his
successor, should the worst befall, n,
Mrong and comprehensive policy, the
cardinal features of. which may he
stated thus:
(1) Reciprocity. On this subject he
pays: "I5y sensible trade nnange
ments which will not Interrupt our
home productions, wo shall extend the
outlets for our Increasing surplus. A
pystcm which provides a mutual ex
chango of commodities Is manifestly
p?sentlnl to tho continued nnd health
ful growth of our export tiade. AVo
oiust not reposo In fancied senility
'.hat wo can forever sell everything
ind buy llttlo or nothing, if su, n a
hlng were possible it would not ho
est for us or for those with whom
c. dral, W'c bhould take fiom our
:uatomer3 smdi of their products as
xe can ue without harm to our In
Justrles and labor. Reciprocity is tho
natural outgrowth of our wonderful
Industilal development under the do
mestic policy now firmly established.
What wo produce beyond our domestic
consumption must havo a vent abroad.
The excess must be removed through
a. foreign outlet nnd wo should sell
everywheio we can and buy wherever
the buying will enlarge our sales nnd
productions, and thereby mako a great
er demand fur home labor. The period
of cxcluidvem-sH Is past. The expan
sion of our trade and lominerco Is tho
pressing problem. Commercial wars
, aie unpiollt.ilile, A policy of good will
and filendly tiade ndntlonii will pro
vent reprisals. Rei'lpimity treaties are
In haimnny with tho spirit of the
times; measures of ititall.ulon are not.
If,' perchance, some of our tariffs nre
tin longer needed for revenue or to en
courage and protect our Industries at
home, why should they not be em-
ployed to extend and promote our m
mtr-
kets nhroad7"

crs huve alrpiiily been put In rotntnlH
Finn between the I'nvlflc i-nast ports of
the United Ktiites nml tho.c on the
western roasts of Mexico and Ontrnl
mid South America. These should lie
followed up with direct steamship lines
to .South American ports. One of the
needs of the times Is direct conimunl
rutltitr. lines from our vast tlelds of
ptodiictlou to the Ileitis of consumption
that we have hut barely touched. Next,
In advantage to having the tlilnK to
soil Is to have the conveyance to cany
It to the buyer. We must encouniRe
our merchant mm Inc. We must have
nioie ships. They must be under the
American fine, built nnd manned and
owned by Americans. These will not
only be piofltable In n commercial
sense, hut they will he tnessenuers of
peine and n in 1 1 y wherever they go."
CI) An Isthmian iimiil "We inut
build the Isthmian canal which will
unite the two ocenns nnd Rive a
straight line of water communication
with the western coast of t'entinl nnd
South America and Mexico."
(1) A Pacllli' cable. This "cannot
loncer be postponed."
The lines thus laid down will he fol
lowed whether our stricken executive
fthn.il be spared to lead or whether the
mantle no well worn by htm shall
amidst universal grlof descend upon
another.
There are Intimations that an effort
will be made at the Cleveland encamp
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic to dispense with the annual squab
ble over Commissioner Kvnns and the
pension ofllce, and if, wisdom prevails,
this couu-e will be followed. No good
can come from threshing It over again.
The Nation's Sorrow.
WORDS are Inadequate to
express the sense" of
shock, pain nnd crief
caused by the frightful
crime committed yesterday upon the
foremost ruler In the world. Kor the
third time in less than two seme yeais
an American president has been strick
en wantonly and without provocation
by an assassin. In the case of Lincoln
there was the intense excitement of
war-time to serve, not as nn exi use,
but n" in some degree nn explanation.
In the case of Oarfteld there was the
ferment of factional strife. In this
case there I no excuse, no extenuation.
not the slightest phase of popular Ill
will, dlocnril or excitement. A presi
dent peisnnally beloved nnd revered to
a degtee unexampled among the past
ocuipants of his office; with not nn
enemy in the world; while Joining
with Ills countrymen In an observance
of a popular character and while
evidencing the rare kindliness nf his
nature by shaking his fellow citizens
bv the hand, Is suddenly shot by a
man In whose way he had never laid
a straw; nnd the enormity of it simply
baffles comprehension.
What l It In our ways of life that
breeds the mania of president-shooting?
Thcpp rulers whom the assassins
would remove are of tho people and
for the people. They come Into power
at the people's call and go from It
when the people will. Sometimes
criticism of their offlclal acts Is acrid
and fierce, but it was not so In this
case. No executive in modern mem
ory Inspired less of that sharpness of
controversy which might work upon
a disordered brain to generate the
notion of personal annihilation. The
Inquiry puzzles nnd appalls. Reforo
It reason Is stalled and conjecture
knows not which way to turn. The
one ray of consolation which pierces
through the gloom Is that only a luna
tic unused to the atmosphere of
American civilization could have
planned or executed so irrational a
deed.
Prom millions of hearts the fervent
prayer arises that the president may
live. But if Uod's Providence shall
will otherwise, grand Indeed will be
the record he will leave behind nnd
eternal the esteem which his mem
ory will command,
Waldorf Astor has renewed the
charge that It was the American
newspapers which drove him out of the
1'nlted States nnd forced him to seek
citizenship in lircat Hillnln. We won

IN JUS SPKKCH t Poiest City

ell of the Cnlted Mine Workeis
told a large assemblage of miners
that he will advise them tn ask for
an eight houi day nexl spring ami If
tho operators refuse to grant it lie
Will ndvlso them to light for it.
rrheso nre radical woids tor the lead
ers of tho mlnviH. a fight for an
eight hour day would seem to bo un

complaint of the miner is that he does
not have work enough to do. The

brisk demand for coal and natuie

Ordlnuilly the mlno worker considers
himself fortunate If, taking the ycnr
ns a whole, he averages three-quaiter
time. In the face of this It would
beem that nn womlei fully in gent tea
sons exist for fighting for an eight
hour day except for the purpose of
restricting the output of the mines at
times when mine owners are ahle to
ship coal by water routes, over which
freight is cheap, and store tt for sale
during tho season of closed navigation
on lakes nnd rivers.
This will not appeal to the nverage
person ns a sulllclent reason to cause
a "light" between tho mine owners
and mine wotkcis.
The nation Is grenter than any man
nnd greater than nny organization
which would destroy Its very founda

that the very ptluclplcs of liberty
which make our country the chosen of
nil the world In nil linns should also
make It possible that the most pieclous
life In nil our laud should bo In Jeop
ardy from nn assassin's hnnd nt eveiy
turn. Theie Is no law which can sup
piess cranks, but there should be stein
measures taken to make this countty n
less favorable spot for the propogatlon

TALKS BY THE
PUBLISHER
The Flat Rate Progressing;.
NOW THAT tho summer months
hnve passed into history, ami the
business public Is showing signs
of until nlng activity, the publish
er will resume hi Saturday "talks" on
timely topics iclatlve to modern news
papers and their relation to piogrcss
lutjr adverllseis.
Dm lug the summer the Hat rate for
advertising has become more and more
popular with Imth publishers and ml
vertlseis. Advei Using agencies are
asking for a Hat rate covering till busi
ness and some papirs are even going
so far as to grant this, but while It
simplifies booKlteepliig with the agency
It Is hardly fair to compel the adver
tiser who lines l.non Inrhci to pay the
same pi Ice per Inch as the one who
uses but 1", although In the past the
disci Imin.itloii in his behalf has been
too great.
Open Space Contracts.
Newspapers that hne not adopted
the Hat rate nre llndliig themselves
compelled by the demands of adver
tisers to add to their rate tanls n sec
tion devoted to "open spate con
tract." This Is true locally. Local
papers which a year or so ago never
thought nf (Hinting In any other wny
than by the month or year for continu
ous business, since The Tribune adopted
the Hat inte nre being nsked, "What Is
our prlro per Inch?" Advertisers aie
realizing the great advantage of open
space contracts. They may pie
l'er to use double n certain space
every other day, or thiee times
the space twice a week this they
can do with an open space con
trad. They may wish to omit during
a dull hu.ison, allowing their up, ice to
accumulate, and use It In big displays
this they can do with an open spate
contract. In bilef, nn open space con
tract Is a contract for a certain num
ber of Inches to be used within one
year at the advertisers option. All
Tribune contracts arc "open space con
trails." Possibilities of 1,000 Inches.
The most popular contract this fall
Is ,nm) inches. I'mlcr such a contract
nn advertiser can run .1 tour-Inch ml.
eveiy day lor a year, an tight-Inch
ud. every other day. a twelve-Inch ad.
twice a week, or a column once a week.
He can nmlt his ad. for a month or
two, using three or four tii irtcr pages
or hnlf pages later on. If he has a
sped.il sale or a particular b.ug.ilu he
can nie extra space to excellent ad
vantage. In fact, he can ue it Just as
his fancy dictates, pn lug only for the
space Decupled when he has used it.
The Tribune chniges but Hi cents an
Inch for a conti.iet of l.ftnft Inches,
which Is but one tent an lm h more
than one for i;,noii inches would cost.
A Comparison of Itttcs.
Two late cm ds have recently been
rrteiveil that are similar to that used
by The Tilbune, and furnish an op
portunity for a comparison of rates
charged in other cities. One is from
Toledo, ("., west of Scr.inton, and one
fiom I'lovldence, I!. j oast of here.
The Toledo Times, a illuming piper
with it tin illation slightly less than
that of The Tilbune, charges L'S cents
per inch for nny contract over 70
inches. For less than 7n Indies the
prices range lrom .' to "is cents per
Inch. A lepieseiitntivo of the Thins
infoi ins me, in a c0111identi.il conversa
tion, that theie is absolutely no reduc
tion from these rates.
The Providence Telegram charges 70
cents an Inch lor Too inches and over
for 11 eln illation imt little laigcr than
that of The Tilbune, smaller contracts
calling for SI and lis cents an I111I1.
The Tribune's Hate.
I'Yom these two Instances It Is evi
dent that The Tribune's rates aie very
rensonublp. nnd 11 more equitable or
cloaier plan could not be devised:
All tran.ient bii-linv lew thin .Vi int'hr
inn toiitr.nt net ,'vni t ) 2
Centralis fin .mm mi lm ;i
" " l.iiin " in
" ...ui " 1M,
That is all there Is to it. If an ad
vertiser wishes a special location in the
paper, from 10 to -l( per cent. Is added.
There Is absolutely but one rate to
everybody for the same service. If
you fee an advertisement In Tlie Trib
une you can lest nsstued It is Inserted
nt these rates no more, no less. If
your cspeririico with advertising so
llcltors leads you lo be skeptical of
this assertion, nsk the advertiser.
Advei Using in The Tribune at these
rates pays. Ask llic advertiser If It
