SI
“w'liile ail prophecies are more or
less in tl-e nature of guesses and any
coi’jec'iure liau»e to go astray, tiie
pi*osp«.-ct for Deiuoeratic success in the
coiiiiiip,' election is good.
■•'il.o persoiiaiity of llie candidates, u
(p:e I .'U which has always entered in
to ov» :y jiolitical caiiipaign, lias al-
reaay been largely dweit ui»on by the
pre.ss i;ud by political speakers. A
careful analysis of the chnracters of
liie two men will show them to be the
almost exact opposites of one another,
in the judgment of moot of the Ameri-
•^aii i>eoiile a president of the United
States sliould be a man of cool judg
ment, calm and e«iuable as to tempera
ment and a man of tirmMc.ss.
“By tirmne.ss is not meant that he
should carry a chip on his shoulder,
or that he should exalt the luiiitary
above the civil in government, nor to
be governed by impulses which might
lead him into embroiling the United
State.s in wars witli foreign nations.
That the candidate for pre.sident of
tlie United Stales on tiie Republican
side is a ver>' impulsive man liis best
friend.s will not deny. That tlie Demo
cratic candidate for president is u man
of an even. Judicial and conservative
temperament even his worst enemies
will ch«“‘rfully ndniit. The tempera
ment of a man does not always change
with advancing years. It is possible
for a man^to retain the sanguine and
unfounded hopes of boyhood until the
last, and, while this quality Is admira
ble In a frit'iul, it is exceedingly un- |
safe In an olflcial.
"The manifold duties and responsi
bilities of the chief executive of our
coiintry ro(iuire the services of a man j
who will bring to the position a just I
and passionless view of men and I
measures, a resolution to do right |
calmly and not in a spectacular man- j
ner; to admini.^ter the laws with the
least possible leaning on the military j
arm of government; to adhere strictly
to the policy of neutrality as to for
eign nations and their wars; to pur
sue, in a word, tlie even tenor of offi
cial ways, devoting his entire time to
^he peace, safety and prospwit^ of
American people without regard to the
false dream of making tis a world
power in a military or naval sense.
I “A.«» to the platforms of the tw’o par
ties, while thej' are similar In some
respects, the same radical difference
Is apparent in them as there is in tlie
doctrin<‘s of Hamilton and Jeffer-son.
The greatest menace now existing, or
ever existing, Jigainst the governii’ont
of the T'nited States Is th.e trusts. The
Kepublican party, as tlie father of a
higli protective tariff, is responsible
more than any other cause for the
building up ot the trusts. It is not a
logical i)roposition that a father slumld
destroj' his offspring, particularly
when the ofr'spring have grown and
flourished to such an extent as to be
now the main support of their parent.
It is idle to look for relief fr(»m the en
croachments of the trusts under a Me-
publican admiiiiatration. It is useless
to talk of curtjilling the jtower of ille
gal combiiuitions of cajiit:;! by a party
which owes its continuance in oliice to
such illegal combinations. The trusts
are the immediate and vit:il conoern cl
the American people. And the people
will not be able to counteract or stem
tills evil unleFS there is a change in
Washington.
“Another salient point of difference
between the two platforms is regard
ing the Phiiippine question. This (pies-
tion, forced upon the countrj' by a Re
publican [)resident, has become a most
serious one. touching the very core of
our existence as a republic. The Dec
laration of Independence and the con
stitution of the United Stxites have
been nullllied. to the astonishment of
the world and the lasting dis.grace of
our country. Reparation for this, while
It cannot wipe away the stain upon
our national honor nor atone for the
blood spilled by men fighting for their
liberty, can come, even as an act of
tardy justice, onij' from tlie hands of
a Democratic administration.
“The op,portunity offered tlie Demo
crats in this campaign, both as to can-
tlidate and principles, is excellent. The
Democrats are united toda.v as they
have not been for many years,
“With a candidate whose life and
record are beyond reproach, with a
platform which stands for the essential
principles of Democracy, with a party
united in every section of the country
and In every partlculai*. I believe that
the prospect of a Deniocratic president
In the White House is exceedingly
bright.”
Always For the Trunt?i.
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island la
the protectionist leader and oracle, but
he Is helping the tobacco trust In its
fight for Imported cigars* against tiie
American cigarmaking industi’y. And
there is nothing inconsistent in that
either. Mr. Aldrich believes In pro
tection—to the trusts. "Whether th(*y
operate at home or abroad, with Am
lean or foreign labor, is a negligible
detail.—New York World.
ROOSEVELT STANDS PAT.
Opposed to Any Redaction ot
Present Hisla TarilXs.
It is evident that if elected in No
vember he Ilioosevelt] will sustain
W'lth unmeasured zeal the extreme*
jfadicals ol Dlng.eyism in opposing any
Teal reductioa of the jiresent high
tariff. So fur from bending to the ris
ing storm of popular demand for tari^
reform and the elimination of unnec
essary and burdensome restraints of
trade, his argument is for a perpetua
tion of the system by which unscrupu
lous trusts are fostered.
So far from yielding to the clamo?*
within his ov'u party for at least a
moderate reduction of tan'lf taxation,
he tells the recalcitrant Republicans
of the west and the east, as he tells
the great I>emocratic reformers, “It is
a matter of regiet tliat the protective
tariff policy, wliich during the last
forty years has become part of the
very fiber of the country, is not now
accepted as definitely established.”
This mature utterance of Mr. Roose
velt can only mean that he ranges him-
Kelf with the stalwart enemies of all i
who would seek to lower taxation and i
relieve manufacturers and consumers !
generally of the barbarous enormities
and excrescences of a protectionism
which has on I grown every decent
claim and has overridden the commer
cial rights and liberties of the people. !
It is almost needless to note that, as
might havfj been (‘xpected from his
animadversions on tariff reform. Mr.
Roosevelt in a few brief sentences in
timates unmistakably his ap])rovaI of
the utopian scheme by which it Is
sought to upbuild the merchant marlue
by Khip subsidies.—New York Hera id.

A FOREIGN OPINION.
Itabonehere C«niii»;»rcs ParbcT
and President Ko(»Mevelt.
The American Democrats have found
a man In .Judge I’arker, and I sincerely
trust that he will be elected i»resident
of the United Stales. He knows his
own mind, is no seif seelccr and as
pires alone to be wiiut the greatest
American presidents have been in the
past—a citizen elected to the highest
oflice of the state to give effect to the
self government of a nation.
I’resident Roosevelt is an honest
man, but very self ojiinionated. and his
pi-e;;ent lei-ia uf oliice h;is shown that
he is U2id(*r the Impression that his
mission is to Imjuise his will on oLher.s,
instead of carrying out tlicir will. Not
only in the United States, but in the
rest of the world, is lie desirous of
playing a great part, and the part that
he has aspireii to play has been en
tirely at variance with the spirit of
American institutions. VDiat especial
ly ple.ises me in .Judge Parker’s pro
nouncements Is the denunci.'ition of the
spread e;igi(>ism that has been Presi
dent Roosevelt’s trump card up till
now and which is more befitting some
military ruler of a nation than tiie
head of a peace loving and comuiercial
community of sen.^ibie men.—L.ruou-
chere's Loudon Truth.

The New Yo; k \’*'or!d sa.vs tl'.at .Judge
Parker's decisions as chit'f Justice of
the court of appeals upon (piestions af
fecting labor unions and the rights of
indlvidtial w.'ige earners v» ere oni-
mended in resolutions adopte<] by tJ:e
Workingmen’s Politiial league at a
meeting held in that city recently, says
the Indianapolis Sentinel. This organi
zation is an incorporated state body
of representative union men.
The resolutions express the warm
approval and appreciation of organized
labor of Judge Parker’s attitude to
ward union labor and declare that
“during his judichd life he never struck
a blow at labor, but has parried many
aimed others and has made the
strongest argument ever set forth in
support of labor statutes.” All of
which Is beyond question. Judge Par
ker has ahvays been absolutely Just
and fair in his treatment of all Inter
ests. That is what makes him such a
splendid candidate. Tl.e same quality
will make him a splendid president
also.
