A doveren ’ifl on -}Vhlch Republicoens Axk to »'wi‘_:.'i;‘w'fl-"‘_fl@ Ret@!lfit l!fl“ Power, © “In our own time and our own way,"” :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."” % Our Pampered Infants. ! 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.— Fond du Lac Reporter. !

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 | | ——— O () s i ' ‘Tf you wish t reach the people of Lee County, advertise in the Journal Riohard Patison.
