gUe Ipovuiug jsta& BY WljiM.IN(iTO. A. C. MoKHnre. July 29. ISSUES EHOXTQH. There is a good deal of talk these days about "harmonizing" and ,reorganiiing"the Democratic party. Harmonizing is easy enough pro Tided there be a spirit of concilia tion and toleration and every one is willing to concede something for a v. of harmony, but there can l riarmonv Wflen one that another must yield to him and accept his dictum before there can I be harmony. There can oe u mony when one insists u other who differs from him must confess that he erred, declare his repentance and humbly ask to be urivATi before the door will be opened and he is permitted to enter. I There can be no harmony when he I who agrees with you on every ques- & any odds of foreign manuiac tion but one must recant his belief turers, so well protected in fact that in that before you take him into fel- Welsh tin makers feeling unable to irtwiin and let him iom hands witn you in fighting for all those other questions, the vital importance of which both realize and proclaim. There is no sense in that kind of plan of harmonizing. It is both senseless and intolerant. It is ego tists and arrogant, besides. There are isms enough on which all Democrats are agreed without taking any one issue upon which they differ, making that a test of Democracy, of party loyalty, and making it also the obstacle to pre Tent Democrats, who are willing to join hands to fight the common enemy from gathering together. In latter recently written to the Democrats of Mississippi, by David 1 0f a 25 per cent, reduction in wages B. Hill, and read at their State con-1 M necessary to enable them to com vp'ntion. he made a plea for harmony! pete with foreign manufacturers. and gave some of the questions on I which Democrats are umtea as ioi lows: '"Our duty at the present time is promoting the avoidance of recrimina tions among leading men, and the ex ercise of a spirit of conciliation among ait factions in eTery section of the country. There is bo need of any re orgmaiiation of the party. The party of Jefferson, Jackson and TUden is good enough for us. We need to avoid divisions about abstract questions and wa should only press to the front those timely issues upon which there is sub stantial accord among all Democrat. "The preservation of constitutional liberty, wherever our flag permsnent ly floats; opposition to dangerous cor porations and other monopolies, which prevent legitimate competition and operate to the detriment of the people; popular insistence upon State rights upon the guarantee of the constitution ; public taxation for public purpose only; the abolition of the tariff upon articles controlled by the trusts, the election of Dai ted States Senators by the people of several States, genuine reciprocity with Cubs, as against Re publican '30 per cent.' specious reci procity, and the maintenance of the personal liberty or the citizens. These are issuer, among others upon which there is no division of sentiment among Domocrats and upon which all can unit?, North. South, East and West" Isn't there enough in these to rally Democrats ? Why should the Dem ocrat who is anxious to redress the grievances from which the people suffer, to lighten the burdens of taxation, to put an end to discrimi nating class rule, to stop the plun dering of the many for the benefit of the few, to stop sectional legisla tion for partisan purposes, to check the onward course to imperialism and bring our Government back with in traditional and constitutional limits, why, we asks, should the Democrat who desires these and other things for the public good subordinate them all and give precedence to one question, which has ceased for the ' time being to be an enthusing or a rallying one ? This is conceded by thousands of Democrats who fought zealously and bravely for the silver issue in the campaign of '96, and stood for it again four years later when, although an issue, it was overshadowed by "imperialism," a more pressing issue. It is also prac tically conceded by Wm. J. Bryan, who, while not surrendering it, sub ordinated it in the campaign of 1900 to "imperialism." He virtu ally concedes it now, for while he insists upon adhesion to the plat form of '96, in speaking of pres ent and prospective issues, when re ferring to money,he uses the expres sion "money question" and avoids special mention of silver or ratio. Why then when he virtually con cedes so much make close adhesion to the platform of 1896 a test of De mocracy? That is not and should not be the test of Democracy now any more than opposition to the en franchisement of the emancipated slaves of the South should be, which was vigorously opposed by the Democratic party when that measure was under consideration. A better test and the only one which should be applied now is con tained in the following letter by Senator Bailey to the"harmony meet ing" at Nantasket, Mass., at which many prominent Democrats, includ ing Mr. Bryan, were present. Sena tor Bailey could not attend and sent the following letter in response to an invitation: "Without yielding any of my con victions upon disputed questions, I am ready to welcome every Democrat back into active party service, and I only demand of them that they ' will bow to the will of the majority and ; rapport thm nominees of our next na tional convention. All Democrats agree with each othec on the main i and permanent principles of our Gov ernment, and they ought to be willing to submit their differences over issues, however important, to the assembled wisdom of our party, and abide by the dacisiou when fairly reached. Upon no other baiU can any WtAbaUon , be maintained, and there is o orjanja tion to which this test can be so easily polled as tn Democratic party. . "A Democrat's party affiliation oairht to be determined upon "hat we iTe ben pleased to call the fundt menUl principles of the at nd .jr-ly it ought to be easy for men whoagree upon those principles to gubordinau their difference upon issues of a day or of a decade and ct cordially and harmonously to gether." Mr. Bailey yields none of his con victions, nor does he demand that a Democrat who differs from him on some questions yield his convio tions before he will act with him or accept his proffered hand in party fellowship. That ought to be the imirit aetuatinsr every Democrat, whQ .g gtruggling for the country's weal WIth BUCn a spini inviting j harmony and closing up the lines we may win; without it never. A Tiff PLATE OBJECT IESS0H. We were under the impression tnat tIn piate was so well protected by the Dingley tariff that it didn't oompete with it were contempiav ing moving their pianw w m country. We were also told when the tin schedules in the McKinley tariff were under discussion that the duty on tin would give such an im petus to the development of our tin mines that we would soon be able to produce more tin than our manu facturers would need. Both of these seem to be mistakes, for our tin plate manufacturers say they can't compete with the Welsh tin plate makers, and they are still importing the block tin they use from Wales, but on account of the rebate they get that practically free of duty. Some of the plants are now talking . . . i ii. Discussing and defending this the Philadelphia Press, a protection organ, says: The Amalgamated tin plate lodges have been for a fortnight considering a reduction of 25 per cent, in wages so as to permit competition with Welsh tin plate. The American Tin Plate Oom pany.one of the subsidiary copo rations of the Steel Trust, pays the Amalgma ted scale. On this scale it cannot take a contract for 1,500,000 tin cases to be made for the Standard OH Trust The trust is using Welsh tin. It is practically duty free, as there is a 99 per cent, rebate of the duty paid when the tin plate la exported la the shape of a tin ease. If the tin plate workers re duce their wage. 25 percent. American tin plate can be made cheap enough to compete with Welsh tin plate. If not the competition is impracticable. The difference in wages is greater than 25 per cent., nearer half, but the superior efficiency of American workmen makes up the difference after a 25 per cent, reduction has been made. This reduc tion is requisite and necessary if the American Tin Plate Company is to compete with free trade goods. It is not necessary in making American goods for the American trade. These can be supplied at current wages. They only keep the big plants busy. With a 25 per cent, reduction all the plants can be kept busy. There will be more work for the tin plate workers, but since it must be done under free trade compe tition it must be at a 25 per cent, re duction. Yet there are people still asserting that the tariff and wages have nothing to do with each other. In this case the. only effect of the tariff seems to be to give the tin plate manufacturers control of the home markets by practically exclud ng foreign tinplate, but it does not tenable them to compete with for eign manufacturers. In other words, the American consumer is taxed to enable the tinplate manufacturers to pay the wages they do pay. But haven't the defenders of the Steel Trust, which has been clearing over 11 per cent, profit on its capital of . 11,400,000,000, been declaring that it was the protection that enables it to compete with foreign steel mak ers and achieve such remarkable success in buliding up their foreign trade ? Isn't the trust the Press writes about "a part of the big Trust ?" KICKIHQ AT TEE DICKER It seems that the Republican ma chine managers in Buncombe coun ty have found some Democratic dis appointed aspirants for office in that county, and have been dicker ing with them, to form a combine, to get possession of the offices. We do not know what may be the strength of the disappointed con tingent or what kind of a bargain the Republican machine manipula tors made .with them, but they muBt have given them a pretty big hunk of the pie, for there is hard kicking by some of the loyal who wanted some of the pie themselves. They object to giving the new re cruits the first and the best grab, and we don't blame them. We don't see why they should be left out in the cold, hungry, while the new recruits are to be taken in and fed, and the hungry are expected to march np to the polls and vote so that Jeter Pritch- I ard St Co., can get some men elected who will do their bidding and help .send Jeter back to Washington to hold that seat in the Senate down for another term. If the machine manipulators can find disappointed Democratic office hankerers enough in other counties to make a dicker worth the effort there will doubtless be a good deal of that kind of thing done and we will have another verification of the warning sent out by Senator Sim mons Borne time ago. Senator Pritchard and his aids are great as dickerers. That's their specialty. But they have never made much of Huccess .in dickering with , pouting Democrats.

He says that he found the elopers, Harding and Mrs. Stafford, absolutely beyond all power of reason or persuasion as to the perillous course they had begun. Mrs. Stafford said that Harding had proposed flight to her and she had taken a year to con sider it and her decision was unalter able. When her children were refer h tn aha aaid theT were all boys and could weir take care of themselves. She added that before she would leave her unlawful lover and come back she would willingly drown herself in the Htttnm nf the sea. Hardin? was equal ly stubborn, and the chief, who went as much as a mediator as an officer, could make no impression on either by appeals to their sense of reason, honor or prudence.
