“This government is made for Amerioaas, native born and natura. lized; and every pound, every bushel, every ton of foreign product that oomes into this country to compete with curs deprives Ameri. can labor of wha 1 justly belongs to it.” McKinley said that in 1890 It still holds good The greatest achievement of the protective system is that it has tauglt the western world that national progress reoeives its greatest impulse when people resolve to do for themselves. It is the glory and triumph of protection to demonstrate, that the whole world may be made a workmanship and that mankind need not be dependent on a little oorner of it.

“Judge Parker,” says Mayor Rose of Milwaukee, “owes his nomination to Tom Taggart.” This may be true and it may not be true, but everybody remembere the desperate measures adopted by the Indianapolis boss to disfranchise those who objected to the Parker nomination. Everybody knows that there are tens of thousands of Democrats in this state that were bitterly opposed to this reorganizer nomination, and yet the state is recorded at St Louis as "solid for Parker.” And this misrepresentation of the Democrats of this state is to be attributed to this same boss more than to any other man. How mnoh Indiana Democrats lacked of being ."solid for Parker” is well illustrated right here in Jasper county, when seven of its eight delegates to th? May state convention were anti-Parker men: Yet they were simply trodden under foot by he Taggart crowd.

The Wall Street Journal more than a year ago predicted that Judge Parker would be selected as the reorganizer candidate for the presidential nomination. In a recent issue it refers to that prediction and calls attention to the fact that the prophecy has been verified, and it now makes the additional prediction that he will have the support of the “interests,” partially open but mainly con cealed” The Journal says that the “high finance” of Wall street will support this candidate because they believe that their opportunities for carrying on their peculiar operations will be more favorable under Parker than under Roosevelt. It seems to us that this is about all the peop'e of this region would care to know to justify them in b ing eternally opposed to that kind of business. What is known in this connection as the ‘ high finance” is simply no more or less than gambling and the manipulation of the markets, regardless of the general welfare of the country.
