During th country witiKsed th lixlicitxa sm
tacle of western republican state delegations going to the
national convention with free silver banners stretched
across their cars, and coming back pledged to the repudia
tion of silver and advocates of the gold standard. News
papers that for years had advocated free coinage of silver
in a night switched and opposed it as a device of the
damned. All this at the crack of the party whip, wielded
by the unscrupulous servant of the interests whose money
had purchased party control. This incident alone showed
the farce of politics, how partisans swallow anything that
has the party label attached, regardless of origin, purpose
or results.
Another ludicrous incident has just occurred to bright
en the present campaign, which proves anew the insin
cerity and color-blindness of the partisan, who can see
naught but evil in anything not bearing the party tag.
This time the labels became mixed and the results are most
amusing.
As a result, chagrin and embarrassment are being ex
perienced at the present time by two dyed-in-the-wool,
votc-for-a-yellow-dog partisan republican newspapers
the Portland Oregonian and the Omaha Bee, which have
been placed in the absurd position of viewing the repub
lican platform in a disinterested way. It is a curious fact,
but true, nevertheless, that, llie two papers both bitterly
attacked the republican platform tariff plank, thinking
it was a statement made by the democratic candidate. Both
hit at Mr. Bryan and struck that, which each have been
blindly supporting since the adoption of the platform by
the Chicago convention.
In Bryan's speech on the tariff (piest ion the Commoner
took occasion to quote the following paragraph from the
republican platform :
"In nil tariff li'(riliiinn llie I rno rinciplo in Ik-hI nmiiiliiiiii'il by llio
iiiipoHiliini of mu ll ilnticH u will i'i mil llie ililTcrcnri' ln, ivi'imi tlin cost
li ri'iiMniiiihli' profit to
of jiriiilni'tioii nt lioiiii' it ml iiliniml, liicllii'
Amorii'un iniliiHt rii'H. 1
In some inexplicable manner the Omaha Bee and the
Oregonian attributed to 15 mm this statement, and pro
ceeded to attack it. The Omaha Bee said editorially:
"Nothing prettier in the I'liti'cli- nil line luis lieen offered in this '
campaign. Tho most liiili-liouml st I putter in th uintry enn tieeept
Hint ns satisfni'tiirv ami the rnnk f ree Irniler rim finil ilolijrht in it.
Tho ilei'lnrntion menus simply notli iit. An attempt to legislate along
that lino would simply open the wa y to interiiiinniile wrnngling as to
what constitutes 'a rensonnlile pro lit.' for hnir splitting on wages
ill imo industry, priee of raw mate rial in nnother, reliates and draw
backs in n third mill so on throng h the list of thousands of articles
that nre now on the tariff lists, U nder such n proposition nit attempt
nt tariff revision, nt Rryan's direc tinn, would servo only to halt in
dustrial and commercial progrcits an d kep business unsettled during ltis
term of office."
The Oregonion made the following remarks anent the
paragraph :
"This means just nothing. Kvery protectionist, even the extremist,
will accept the statement. Who is to decide what is ' reasonable
profit't Who is to decide what may be the difference betw t wages
nt homo and nbrond f . . . .
"Should Iiryan be elected presid cut, and the congress with him, and
attempt bo made to adjust the tariff for 'imposition of such duties as
will equal tho difference between cost of prodiii-t ion at home and aboard,
together with 'reasonable profit to American industries,' wn should
discover nt once the charlatanry and futility of the undertaking."
All of which shows what republican papers think of
Mr. Taft's platform when the robe of partisan politics is
east aside.
It is of further interest to remember that fid it or Rose
water of the Omaha Bee is a member of the executive com
mittee of the republican national committee and the head
of the republican publicity bureau.
The case is a striking example of the fact that in the
political arena of today the elector is seldom a free agent,
and few use either sense or judgment, but. vote merely for
party.
The American voter, swayed by partisanship, is herded,
harried and made to believe that which wouldn't pass mus
ter for the t ruth in a gathering of children, lie is the prey
of the cheat and liar from primaries to the polls. It has
been admitted thai all is fair in love and war and fair
ness has never entered into politics since the dawning of
history. There is the straightforward argument, and
truthful facts and figures, to be sure; but, the ballot, is
often east on the last niisin format ion received or in submis
sion to some form of appeal to prejudice.
The Omaha Bee and the Oregonian are to be thanked
for pointing out the ridiculous side of the republican plat
form. Their remarks are hardly such as to gain for them
appreciation in the republican headquarters.
It was simply a case of "stand to one side and watch
yourself go by.''
