:03\\3_6"'1&0!‘ Lodge arroganily puts it,
4 further postal investigation will be |
andertuken. “In our vwn time and!
our-own way” we will atitend to such l
revisicn of the tarlff as may be neces
sary, say the Repubiican leaders. The |
Republican platform, however, Coes not
indorse Senator Lodge, or perhaps
when tle senator wrote the plaiform
ke thought it would Le best to say as
jittle as possible about so uncomforta«
'blea;;u subject as frauds and scandalsl
Ly
and claim everything was all right any- ]
way. So the platform says:
2*Our acministration of the great de
partments of the government Las been
honest and etlicient. and wherever
wrongdoing bhas been discovered the
Republican administration has not hes-
Aitated to probe the evil and bring of
fenders to justice without rezard to
party or political tles.”
How lionest and eflicient the Repub-l
lean administration has been is shown
by not oniy the postofiice frauds, but,
by the land frauds, the department of
justice scandals, the Littauer glove
scandal, the Indian Territory scandals,
the Philippine scandals, the Porio Rico.
smuggiing scandalg, the Distriet of Co
lumbia scandals and other frauds aud!
scandals. In fact, no department of
the government is free from them, and '
it is no wonder that now, even in their
own time and their own way, do the
Republicans care to publicly mention
them, much less allow a thorough in-‘
vestigation. Some charged with per
petrating frauds are candidates for of- !
fice on the Rerublican ticket and otn
ers are still hizh in Republican coun—|
cils, and it would be disastrous to talk
of such matters with the voters about
to take action.
The same programme is attempted on
the tariff. The Republican leaders say r
stand pat, and if the time ever comes |
when it becomes necessary for party )
success to amend the tariff in our own |
time we will do it. Therefore the Re- !
publican platform said, *We insist upon ]
the maiuntenance of the principles of |
protection” —that is, we stand pat—"and f
therefore rates of duty should be read- |
justed only when conditions have so]
changed that the public interests do—;
mand their alteration”—that is - when
we, the Republicun leaders, find *‘con :
ditions have so changed that thie pub- |
lHe” seem determined to defeat us \w-i
will intreduce a bill in the house o"|
representu.tives to readjust rates of }
duty, and if the trust majority in the s
senate defeats the bill we can’t help it, '
but will try again if you continue us in ;
power. But, for God's sake, don’t |
trust the Democrats!” |
This is what a spring poet describes !
as residing ‘“under the bamboozle tree,” |
and in his latest effusion he says: ‘
There’s the smooth politiclan who llves on |
the dream . |
That he's surely bapboozling the voters |
With his gab and his graft, till he finds |
in the end i
He's becen badly bamboozled by “float- |
ers."” %

What would the people think of a
foundiings’ home that insisted that its
“inmates should continue to be support
ed by the people until they should final
ly die of old age, weakened in body and
intellect because they were not requir- '
ed to do anything themselves in the
battle for existence? In that case the |
imposition, would not be permitted to
stand for a moment, but the people
have permitted the infant industries of
the country to take the same course,
always drawing their subsistence from
the nursing bottle called the tariff.—

~ REPUBLICAN STAGNATION.
j Present Leaders of the Party Are‘l
| Dismal Failures. |
The great majority cf the Zepublican I
party used to worship James G. Blaine I
and the policies that he stood for. He |
favored reciprocity, especially with |
South American wvountries, and in a:
speech at ‘Waterville, Me., Aug. 29, 1
1890, he said: 1
“Our great need is erpsafion. 1 |
mean expansion of trade with coun- |
tries whererwe can find profitable ex- }
changes. We are prot seeking annexa- l
tion of territory. Certainly we do not |
desire it unless it should come by the |
volition of a people who might ask the
priceless boon of a place under the flag l
of the Union. I feel sure that for a
long time to come the people of thei
United States will be wisely content
- with our present area and not launch
“upon any scheme of annexation. At
the same time I think we should be |
‘unwisely content if we did not seek to
ergage in what the younger Pitt so |
‘well termed annexation of trade.” ‘
The Republican leaders today are
distinctly opposed to just what Mr.’
Blaine was striving for. He little
thought that within a few years a Re
publican president would be forcibly{
annexing countries not in this hemi-‘
sphere and a Republican congress l
would be standing pat and refusing to |
ratify reciprocity treaties that McKin- |
ley had arranged. I
The Blaine Republican must, like the
few followers of Abe Lincoln that are |
left, view with dismay the dismal fail
ure of their present leaders, who fear
to legislate on important’ matters, but |
in place adopt a policy of legislative !
stagnation. Does any one believe that 1
Blaine would stand pat at the present i
Juncture? l
