Ihe Conflict Is Between the Xew I'h illxulion and the Dill—Pof un«l AiSnliint flit- I pholifiiiK of the American Standard of Living;. IV,ce hath its patriotism No less to be revered thun that of war. A savage is patriotic. But his pa triotism is chiefly evidenced by willing use of spear and club against a defend ing or offending foe. He exemplifies a current definition, "My country, right or wrong," by lighting with his tribe in any cause. Civilized man has other foes than those who come with spear or club, rltle or cannon, and his pa triotism, because he is civilized and has advanced from the crudeness of the savnee, should impel him to confront these other foes as readily as he leaps at the military kind. Tribe against tribe and nation against nation keep the world in a state of perpetual war. The weapons vary, and the warlike objects vary. # Sometimes land conquest or land de fense is the object. Sometimes com mercial conquest or commercial de fense is the object. But the United States is engaged in a war peculiar, it being a defensive war, waged on be half of its worklngmen against the workingmen of Europe. It is a war of the new civilization against the old. It is a war for the maintenance here of comfortable homes supported by larger than mere "living wages," for the edu <• i nof the children of the toilers, for the independence of that great body of err ; . pie who create those American products that have stormed all of earth's countries. In short, it is a war for the upholding of that state and style if everyday existence which Is (leiii initiated "American!" Some conditions are "as they are" a!ul cannot readily be mended. Not even Democratic stump speakers or <le::i;-..ogues can mend them. The so li: ! condition, that one man is called "i ii;.list" and another is called "worUinguian," is of this at present unchangeable kind. Possibly the time may come when both of these desig l i' >rs, with the classes that they represent, will be swept away. But certainly not yet for awhile will money thrive without a handler nor will machinery produce without a guiding hand. "Things are as they art-" in that respect. Here in Ameri ca. however, they could be made much wi.i-s ■ for the workingman, whereas now l:a is at the summit of labor's at tainment. And they may be much worse unless he fights for his home and fireside against a foreign foe who is aided by an American political party. "My country—the whole world!" is a noble sentiment, but as yet it Is but sentiment. Happy it will be for all mankind when, in the good coming time, there are no national boundaries. But that day has not risen, and we mt'. 't wait a little longer, acting in the meantime as a nation should that would keep from entrance that which i harmful to it. And hareiful and disastrous would it be to this country ere its workingtnen reduced to the condition of those of Europe. Whit prevents that ilis-iater? What else be: a protective tariff! Remove it. an! quickly the whole land would be flood ed with European goods, sold at a price with which we could not com -1 etc. because the American working- Man receives, and must receive, larger wages than the European. And it matters not to our workingman thr.t he himself might btiv these goods el: 1 icr than hi-- own employer would (■ 1 : i him, for if the competition has close l his factory and stopped his work and income, wherewith shall he buy'/ Let an appeal to fact be made. When political campaigns threaten the sub " s'.itution of free trade for a tarifl'. the business interests, long familiar with the aiuis and powers of their foreign rivals, take fright and curtail in every possible way. Surely the men at the compass and helm are more to be trusted in so vital a matter than l ien whose lives are spent in talk, talk. talk, and in a fruitless for ofilce. Under any tariff there will be inequal ities and injustice, and this is special ly true in the United States, where there are so many conflicting com mercial interests. Some men will grow r>her than they oufiht, and others will gain less than their due. Corruption, too, will here and there be manifest. But. "taking things as tliev are." the ".-wiicricati tariff is the finest creation of our legislators. It lias enriched and exalted the nation while providing con tinuous remunerative employment to our workinginen. Once again the cam pa Inn for its permanency is rising to a crisis, calling once more to its support millions and millions of patriotic Amer icans. Patriotism's test is being pre sented to the nation. It demands that factions in party subside, that class warfare be truced in presence of a common foe, that every patriot lie upon the ballot firing line on voting day and that, by every lawful means, a Repub lican victory, an American victory, be assured against a European Invasion. Peace hath Its patriotism No less to be revered than that of war. CamiiNtry. Democratic casuists are earnestly trying to make Secretary Shaw see that prosperity for everybody would result if those who would sell must take low prices and those who would buy have no money.—Brooklyn Stand ard Union. LOUR HII«1 MIIKIIJ. The Democrats took their platform on faith. No one In the convention heard it read. Hill described it as "long and mushy," and he was not far wrong.—Jersey City Journal. The Democratic talk about the tariff being the "mother of trusts" is all rot. There are more trusts In England than there are in the United States.—Valley Mills (Tex.,) Protectionist. SAME KIND OF RECIPROCITY. Tlint Which McKinley Advocated IN <h« Hrimbllvan Sort. If President McKinley had lived there would have been an entirely different plank on reciprocity from what appears now in the Republican platform.—Taunton Gazette. We presume our contemporary bases this assertion on President McKinley's last speech, in many respects the most notable one he ever delivered. He spoke of the desirability of the Repub lican party readjusting such tariff schedules as might have grown out of adjustment with existing business con ditions. He also declared that reciproc ity was good Republican doctrine and should go hand in hand with protec tion. But the Chicago platform Is not at variance with any principle or policy espoused by McKinley. Of reciprocity he said: "By sensible trade arrange ments which will not interrupt our home production we shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus. "A system which provides a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to a continued healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. If such a thing were possible, it would not be best for us or for those with whom we deal. We should take from our customers such of their products as we can use with out harm to our industries and labor." Here is what the Republican plat form has to say on this question of reciprocity: "We have extended widely our foreign markets, and we believe in the adoption of all practicable methods for their further extension, including commercial reciprocity wherever re ciprocal arrangements can be effected consistent with the principles of pro tection and without injury to American agriculture, American labor or any American industry." Wherein does tills differ, except in phraseology, from the reciprocity idea promulgated by McKinley 7 Only such trade arrangements were favored by McKinley as would not interrupt our home production or work harm to our industries. The Chicago platform de clares for reciprocity consistent with the principles of protection, a reciproc ity which will not injure American agriculture, American labor or Ameri can industry. The platform is in en tire harmony with McKinley's latest and best thought on the subject of commercial treaties. Any attempt to make It appear otherwise is a willful perversion of the facts.—Springfield Union. Garvin'* Heeiproclty. Governor "Garvin of Rhode Island In his Tammany Hall speech July 4 said: "The Democratic party should com mit itself to a genuine and workable reciprocity, not by the transfer of leg islative powers to the president or even to the treaty making power, but by a simple law declaring free trade with the oilier American countries whenever and at the same moment that any such country reciprocates by admitting our products free." One can easily imagine how such a policy would work. In the first place, we'would have to admit free all manu factures of iron and steel and textile products from Great Britain; then, if any of our Industries should survive, they would meet with quick death when Germany aud France and other conti nental countries came after their share of "reciprocity." What a delusion it all is, to be sure! Talk of reciprocity be ing a step towaru free trade oi' fro.' ; trade itself! Why. the reciprocity of i the Garvin o '.lcr would be worse, far ! worse, than any free trade we coul:l J possibly enact into law.
