those who oppose human liberty and
human rights have gotten control of
the Republican party, just as these
special Interests got control of the
old Whig party and caused Mr. Lin
coln and Mr. Ward to organize the
Republican party. Mr. ward wan a
Whig and he felt forced to leave that
party. Surely, there are more rea
sons to-day why he could not support
the action of the last Chicago Con-
vention than there were why he could
not support the Whig party in 1856.
Mr. Ward could have recited the
great accomplishments of the Whig
piriY in 1856 as reasons why he and
others should not leave that party.
Mr. Ward was a young man then with
his face turned to the future, and he
and all other men with red corpuscles
In their blood at the time saw that
the organization of a new party,
which they then called the Republi
can party, was necessary to defend
human rights.
When Mr. Ward was leaving the
Whig party to go into the Republican
party, there were a number of very
highly respectable old men who wrote
letters just like Mr. Ward is now
writing, appealing to all Whigs to
"abide the ship."
A HORRIBLE SUGGESTION. j
The Aihevllle Gaxette-News In an
editorial makes the following sugges
tion: "But suppose the people of Il
linois should deliberately send
Lo rimer back to the Senate?"
But how much worse would that be
than for the North Carolina Dem
cratic machine to "deliberately" send
Simmons back to the Senate? Mr.
Simmons is reported to have said that
Lorimer, whom he was trying to get
into some swamp deals in Eastern
Carolina, was the "peer of any man
in the Senate. Clearly Mr. Simmons
was measuring Lorimer by his own
low standard.

The editor of this paper had a con
versation a few days since with a
Democratic friend in which the short
comings of the Democratic adminis

were freely discussed. Our friend

to sue the Shelby Highlander because

that he Toted nineteen times or more

ask why Senator Simmons did not sue

commented quite pointedly upon his
record. The Senator, instead of su

as little as possible.
The question arises. Why rHould
the country be hurt at all?
WILSON'S PltKAM.
It appears that Candidate Wood
row Wilson has decided that a protec
tive tariff is not so iniquitous after
all. One of the Professor's advisers
told him a few days ago that most of
the people believed in some protec
tion, and a few days later Professor
Wilson save out a statement giving it
as his belief that tariff reduction
should not be made at one sweep. Af
ter having a conference with Gover
nor Wilson a few days ago. a New
York Congressman told reporters,
who were waiting on the outside, that
he and the Governor had talked on
three topics the tariff, the trusts,
and the scientific training of young
farmers as a means of lowering the
high cost of living.
Wonder If the Governor expects
the young farmers to make a study of
scientific farming in order that they
may then sell the products of their
labor for a less price than at pres
ent. and wonder if he thinks it will
make the farmers warm up to his
candidacy when he intimates to them
that they are getting too much for
their farm products? Of course all

corn for thirty and forty cents a bush-

It declares for "a tariff for revenue
only," and further declares that any
other kind of a tariff, that is, a tariff
for protection, is "unconstitutional."
If that platform declaration means
what it says in plain English, then a
Democratic Congress would with
draw all protection to American in
dustry and to American labor, and
would proceed to raise revenue
enough to run the Government by
simply putting a tariff on articles
not made or raised in this country,
such as tea and coffee. It is easy
enough to raise all of the revenue

articles and withdraw all protection
