Senator Mark Hanna was invited by the trades council at Muncie to deliver the Labor Day speech in that busy Indiana in dustrial center. The senator has written a letter expressing a regret od account of his inability to accept the invitation, and says: “I feel a great interest in this all-im-portant question, and am glad to find that the efforts I am making are appreciated by organized labor. It a great work, but of course we cannot accomplish everything at once. By further work I hope in the end that capital and labor may be brought into a relationship which will be for their mutual benefit.” The laboring men of the country have discovered tht t Senator Hanna is the most maligned man in the country, and that if all employers were as reasonable, labor troubles would be reduced to a minium, Senator Hanna bad behind him at the time he entered public life a flawless record as a large employer of men, yet he was for years held up as a horribla example of the grasping plutocrat, and people generally accepted the picture as a correct one until time revealed the real character of the Ohio leader. The declaration that “this is a white man’s country” formed the key-note of the acceptance speech of the latest Indiana Democratic

congressional nominee. It is upon such a basis that a half Southern Democratic states have enacted suffrage laws disfranchieibg thousands of persons whose color and, wbat is more offensive, whose politics, does not agne with that of the dominant party. There is nothing in the constitution or the Declarat ion of Independence,, from which Democratic leadership professes to derive its inspiration, about this country belonging exclusively to any one class, color or condition of men, and a leadership boasting of the exercise of brute force against a weaker race ought not to assume, in discussing the Philippine question, that it has enough sympathy for the brown man to supply the export trade. Certain it is that the cry of negro domination in Indiana is an exceedingly stupid manifestatioii\of prejudice and intolerance. As a substitute for conviction on any genuine political isssue it may do.
