Jfo Chang* In The Policy Of Protection The attempt of newspapers favor­ able to free trade to produce the Im­ pression that President MeKinley had changed his attitude on the Questions of protection, and that President Roosevelt is not a strnight-proteetion- ist, will fail, In support of this claim the Rochester (N. Y.) (Chronicle says: "resident McKinley's attitude was not changed and there is the best of reasons for saying that President Roosevelt's views on the subject of protection are almost if not entirely Identical with those of the late presi­ dent. 4 President MeKinley favored- recip­ rocity whenever and wherever it was possible. lie did that in congress. He never -approved heavy duties except when they were necessary either for revenue or for the protection of Ameri­ can industries. Shortly before the president's death Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, had a conversation in Canton with him on this same question, and he said to Mr. Boliiver that he did not know that there were any duties im­ posed which could t)e removed with­ out harm, but if there were then he thought the proper way was to re­ move tuem by means of reciprocity treaties, which would give this coun­ try something in return. In that greqt speech the president ielivered at the Pan-American Expo­ sition, the day before he was shot, he gave formal expression to that policy. But there is not any sign in that speech of a purpose to abandon the great government policy With which his name is so honorably identified, and which has brought this country to the highest stage of industrial de- development and prosperity it has eyer reached. It is equally clear that President Roosevelt will stand on precisely the same platform. He has been a staunch advocate of protection, and since hi« accession to the presidency, it is stat­ ed, has declared himself opposed to the removal of duties which would hv1 Jure any industry in the United States. The strength of industrial securi­ ties in <the market shows that this opinion prevails among the leaders of American trade, industry and com­ merce. A reasonable suspicion that President Roosevelt proposed to undo the splendid work of his predecessor would before now have impaired the value of nearly every industrial stock in the country. But, on the contrary, the stocks of the great industries Jiave shown firmness, despite the appalling agitation to which the country has been subjected during the past few weeks. Absolute confidence and trust char­ acterized the attitude of the business world, as well as of the people gen­ erally, towards the administration of President MeKinley. Tlje same at­ titude has now been assumed towards the new administration, which though it has another man at its head, is substantially--and will be--President McKinley's administration continued. Oar President. No one need have feared a reversal of President McKinley's policy by President Roosevelt. But it was illus­ trative of the good sense, frankness and promptitude of the new president that, immediately upon taking the oath of office he should announce that Presi- ident McKinley's policy will be main­ tained, bo far as he has wisdom and power to keep the government along those lines. We repeat, this should have been expected. Theodore Roosevelt has ad­ mired and loved the president now dead with all the arder of his ardent soul. Never has there been a word from him which could be construed as unfavorable to the course of the ad­ ministration. He has, in fact, been a part of it, as a vice president rare­ ly if ever before has been a part of any administration. It has been so not simply becauseOhe revered and trusted the president, but because in direction and methods the MeKinley administration has accorded with his own views and sympathies. It is no time for comparing the personalities of the two men. If there are differences of temperament and action, there are also resemblances, and now, as President Roosevelt has suddenly been called upon to take the helm of the government with all the solemn responsibilities, we should look for resemblances rather than dif­ ferences between him and the depart­ ed leader. Happily they are numer­ ous and strong at those points where the heaviest strain must come. In sterling honesty of spirit, in sturdy and • unflinching Americanism and patriotic zeal, in devotion to high moral Ideas, in executive ability de­ monstrated In both state and military affairs, and in an Independence and strength of character which Will com­ mand for him the respect of all and obedience where obedieuce is right and necessary, he was and Is a tnan after the late president's own heart. Par be It from us to say that any living American under existing con­ ditions can in all respects till .the place of the beloved leader who has fallen at his post. Back of him was a ca­ reer and ever with him was an ex­ perience which neither nature nor ac­ quired ability can supply. But we believe that all that a sincere, honest purpose and unreserved self-dedica­ tion to duty can do will be done by htm^who lias now become our presi­ dent and to whom, In his lofty and trying station, every American citizen worthy of that name owes whole­ hearted sympathy and support.

Never gripe or distress^ | Julia A. Story and G. W. Besley. j • - • . EDITORIAL COMMENTS. Mr. Bryan's Labor Day speech at Kansas City contained specimens of his great collection of misinformation. "Each decade of our history," he said, "shows a greater production of wealth, and the men who produce it have less to show for it." Commenting upon this statement the Itock Island Union remarks that the last da use is a stale old piece of fiction. The statistics show that the condition of laborers has im­ proved and is improving steadily. Their wages have increased and their hours of labor have decreased. Mr. Bryan's assertion would mean that the labor unions after all their efforts have accomplished nothing; that the laborer Imus lost Instead of gaining. The decrease in the National debt under a Republican administration goes steadily on. Last month it was diminished $5,400,000. At this rate during the present Republican adminis­ tration the National debt will have been reduced $259,200,000, which is not a bad showing. It wfill about make up for the increase caused by the last Democratic administration, when the Wilson-Gorman bill depleted the country of money. If t^ie people want the present conditions reversed, they earn do so by electing a Democratic ad­ ministration. Then they will have the chagrin of seeing the issuing of bonds to maintaJn the treasury reserve for redemption purposes. The Pontiac Sentinel quote* Drith approval the Quincy Whig: "It has been, frequently asserted that there Is a 'federal crowd' and a "state crowd:' which are likely to be arrayed against each other in political contests that are to occur within the next two years or more. Republicans can ac­ complish a great deal more by stand­ ing together than by fighting each other. It is certain that the Repub­ lican party of Illinois has not arrived at a point where it is wlilling to sub­ mit to bossism either one way or another, or allow a machine to do its thinking. The masses of the party are now, and will be in 1904, supreme in Illinois. Theodore Roosevelt has justified the popular confidence In his discretion and good sense, by the positive state­ ment that he wtill endeavor to pre­ serve absolutely unimpaired, the poli­ cy of President MeKinley. He could have done nothing that would have pleased the people better than this, which is only an additional evidence of the tact and delicacy which have characterized Roosevelt's conduct ever since the tragedy at Bulfalo. The Chicago Tribune predicts that when the Bryan bomb is throwto in­ to the next Democratic convention it will fail to explode. But it will scare the party out of about forty years of ita growth. The apparent assump­ tion of the esteemed Tribune that the Democratic party has had any growth in forty years is not in accord with that paper's usual discriminating esti­ mation of the "putrid reminiscence." To the Democratic claim that the party will abolish the trusts if restored to power the Gales burg Republican- Register appends the following query: "Why did they not make an honest attempt to do so six years ago?" The answer Is for the sftme reason that they did not "reform" the tariff when they passed the Wilson tariff bdll-^ they didn't know how, and haven't Im­ proved bit in knowledge since then, The Bushnell News pauses a mo? went to give" utterance to f? remark that indicates that the newspapers of Illinois that draw their inspiration oi? Republicanism from the Chicago press are becoming fewer every day. It eays: "Perhaps Governor Yates is fortunate in having acquired the en­ mity of the Chicago papepg. The peo­ ple have usually been fop whatever these papers are against." Exports from the United States for the twelve months ended Aug. 81 were valued at $1,500,613,23(5. These are the largest figures on record and ex­ ceed by more than 50 per cent, those of 1896. Imports for the same period were $843,681,300, an amount above all previous figures except those of 1900. Our commercial expansion goes on with irresistible force. Vice President Roosevelt absolutely refuses io talk politics. He says: "If mytbing appears in any paper where­ in I orn quoted on the political situa­ tion, you may put it down as a rank fake." That ouglit to be plain enough for anybody's understanding. Czolgosz'bullets may not have been poisoned but his mind certainly was. No shock appears great enough to dis turb the financial serenity of the nation. Obituary. Wm. D. Hodge was born January 24. 1H13, in the state of New York, and died at Rockford, Iowa, September 20, 1901. :!- .. His parents moved to Ohio when he was four years old, where he lived un­ til he was twenty-five, when he went to Michigan, and was there married to Miss Margaret Francisco in 1888. Three children were born of this anion, Mrs. Wilbur Bassett, of West McHenry, 111.; Mrs. Cyrus Burr, of David City, Nebraska; John W., who died in 1861, aged 14 years. He moved from Michi­ gan to Illinois where his wife died. He was again mairied to Miss Clarrie Sheffield. Two children were born to them--Alzina, who died at the age of eighteen, and Orren D., of*Rockford, Iowa. He moved from Illinois to Wis­ consin then to Michigan, and from there to Rockford. Iowa, in the year 1879, and has since made that his home. Mr. Hodge was converted when he was twenty-eight years old at a camp meet­ ing in Michigan and has been a member of the M. E. church for over sixty years, a subscriber for the Northwest­ ern Christian Advocate ever since its publication, a period of forty-nine years. Besides the wife and son, Orin, a niece, Mrs. John Plnmmer, of Forest City, Iowa, was present at the funeral. The funeral services were conducted on Sunday afternoon at the M. E. church by his pastor, Rev. Geo. E Shear, and many turned out to pay a last tribute to a good old man. JVIrs. W. F. Bassett. wants ProMperity Continued. The Republican party may to-day "congratulate the people of Pennsyl­ vania on the splendid prosperity which they now enjoy," but what course does it mean to pursue that this prosperity shall continue undiminished by meas­ ures and politics which the nation has outgrown?--Philadelphia <I*a.) Times. The "course to pursue that this prosperity shall continue" is to pre­ serve intact the "measures and poli­ cies" of Protection which made possi­ ble this splendid prosperity. If the Times knows of any "measures and policies" that the "nation lias out­ grown" , it should "trot 'em out" and hot be afraid of specifying jnst what It means. There is too much of bun­ combe generally and not enough chap­ ter and verse. Will Again Appeal To Prejudice. The Democrats have about con­ cluded to tell the people that the Re­ publicans created the trusts, and that only a Democratic congress can get rid of them. On this issue they will make a bold stand, as it is all that's left in National politics to fight over. An appeal to popular prejudice, with a lie well told, is the programme. What a time Democratic editors and orators will have to tell why and how New Jersey, under a Democratic law, gathered millions Into her treasury for corporation papers granted to the great industrial and commercial cor­ porations!--The Political Review. Only one year ago we were told how the spirit of Abraham Lincoln looked down in approval upon the issues ad­ vocated by the Democratic party and which were churned to lie in accord with the principles for which Lincoln stood. Now that the Democratic par­ ty is determined to get away from these issues, it would be in order for some of the faithful to fix it up some way with the spirit of Abraham Lin­ coln.--Decatur Herald. Democratic papers all over the coun­ try are rejoicing because of the pres­ ent strike. They Imagine that in some manner the trouble may possibly be laid at the door of the Republican party. The Democratic party's only hope of success, in the future as in the past, is through some calamity which they are always foremost in bringing about. That party oan't stand prosperity. Its chief stock In trade Is tearing down.--Earlville Gazette. Now that Towne and Hogg, two of the most radical trust baiters the coun­ try has ever produced, have allowed themselves to be gracefully swallowed by the oil octopus; there is no good reason why Mr. Bryan should hold out any longer.--Paris Beacon.
