The aim of the republican party ummmtmflunworkonrn enabled to meet the cost of living’by keeping employed at good wages, It 1is a simple purpose and as direct and practical as it is simple, and does not meed a volume of rhetoric to explain it or get around it. While the cost of living so far as most of the neces- * warles of life are concerned, is not so high here as in Europe, the wage- earner here Is getting from more than double to six and seven times the wages paid in Europe, and fs in that groportion able to meet any Increase in the cost of living. Wages Must Be Kept Up. “I am pleased to mote that former Governor Douglas of Massachusetts, an earnest and most estimable mem- ber of the democratic party, refused to be carried away In the current of idle reasons for the ‘high cost of liv- ing’ He attributes it chiefly to the increased annual product of gold to $500,000,000 from about one-fourth that output of gold twenty years ago, and he expects that as long as the present output of gold continues, with no change in the weight of gold coins, prices will have a tendency to mount higher. Obviously, the democratic party and Governor Wilson, with such conditions facing us, could not select a worse time for proposing to the American worker—as in effect they do propose by urging a reduction in the tariff—to consent tolower wages with & view to more open competition with iabor abroad. Wages must be kept up and the way to keep them up is to keep the tariff protective, and not ‘for revenue only.’ Mmpartial Enforcement of Sherman Law. T "I propose in ddaling with the trust question to keep the great combina- tions of capital within exactly the same control as the city or crossroads grocery pays a federal license for sell- ing cigars.

WAR MAY BE AVERTED Turkish Government Reported to Be Willing to Grant Larger Measure of Self-Government to Macedoni London, Oct. 6—What may prove to be an important development in the Balkan problem comes from Con- stantinople tonight in the form of a statement that the porte has an- nounced its willingness to put into execution Article 23 of the Berlin treaty relating to a greater measure of self-government for Rumelia and Macedonia. It is stipulated by the porte ‘that the details are to be set- tled by consolidation with the Euro- pean Rumelian commission, _which Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia and Austria. May Prevent Wi Should this statement prove to be accurate, there will be a good chance that the mediation of the powers re- sulting from the Paris pourparlers may prove effectual in preventing war. The Balkan states demand that Christian governors shall be appointed in Mace- donia by the great powers. Article 23 contalns no provision of this kind, but it s believed that if the powers could give Some sort of guarantee that Turkey would carry out the terms of the article the matter might be accomplished. JOHN BULL HESITATES. Great Britain's Delay Inspires Hostile France. War or peace between Turkey and the Balkan states is in the balance. If anything it might be said that the scales swung slightly today against peace In the sense that every hour’s delay in the powers' interven- tlon fncreased the danser of hostili- ties. Great Britain Holding Back. The word now rests with Great Britain. All the powers save Great Britain have accepted with some mod- ifications the French premier's plan for intervention, but it is understood that Great Britaln hesitates in golng so far as to assume with the other powers responsibility for securing from Turkey broad reforms in Mace- donia. Great Britain Criticised. Great Britaln’s - procrastination 1s causing some uneasiness and some criticism In Paris. Such papers as the Temps assert that they cannot under- stand Great Britain's lack of sympathy in the needed Turkish reforms, when in 1876 that country rose up in a body against the so-called Bulgarian atroci- ties of that' vear. However, even with England’s support, and this is expect- ed (o come tomorrow, the crisis is not removed. The great question remains a8 to whether the powers can obtain extensive enough reforms from Turkey to satisfy the militant Balkan states. Demands Are Sweeping. Reports 'received here give the Bal- kan government's irreducible minimum as complete national autonomy - for Macedonia, with Christian governors of the provinces, the creation of a lo- cal militia ,and the withdrawal of the Turkish troops. Turkey is described as wishing to be conciliatory and moderate, but considerable doubt Is expregsed as to whether Turkey would ever accept such demands as these. Austria Joins France and Russi Austria- has given adhesion to the plan formulated by the French and Russian foreign ministers to deal with the Balkan situation. Austria, how- ever, ‘suggested a slight change in the wording of the proposals which met with the fmmediate approval of both M. Poincare and M. Sazonoff. -The only effect of the amendment is to more sharply define the intentions of the powers and present a more precise statement of these. Larger Measure of Home Rule. It is understood' that thése proposais do not include a demand for the au- tonomy of Macedonia, but urge ths adoption of the provisions of Article 23 of the treaty of Berlin providing for a larger measure of home rule. It is believed here that the proposals as now outlined will remove any lurking suspicions in England that the conti- nenital powers were possibly contem- platine a settlement wholly at the ex. | pense of Turkey. Germany and Italy Approve. Germany and Ttaly have approved their ally’s modifications, so_that with full adhesion by the British zovern- ment the powers will be in position to say to the Balkan coalition that th~ Balkan states will no longer have to depend on the promises of Turkey, but to the pledged word of Europe.
