AZ ADMINISTRATION REBUFF.

The passage Of free silver coinage
bin by the senate was the most direct
slap i'm the face that any American adj
ministration has ever received from It's
own party. When the silver question
arose in the present Congress the ac-
credited representative of the admin
istration chose to present bill embody-
ing its views ON this important subject
Ii was the product Of long and thought
full labor by Secretary WINDOW. Its
provisions were considered for months
bv the President and his advisers.
Finally lt was adopted as an admins
tration measure. and presented 10 the
Republicans Of the House and Senate
as the fiat Of the chief dispenser OF
spoils.
Although launched with great ccldt
the bin was received with marked
GOODNESS in both bodies. The ma
iority in the House proceeded
% caucus ON il, and when they
had finished their labOrs, the fathers Of
the WlNDov bill would have been wise
indeed IL they had known their own
child. In this mangled form the bill
passed the House. But In the Senate
worse indignities awaited the poor mu-
tilated pretcnse. which the administra-
tion offered the silver men. There
were none so poor as 10 do IL reverence.
The am ,nded WiNpoN bin was COM
pletely rcpudlated, in spite Of the efforts
Of the Few friends Of the administration,
and an out and out free coinage meas
ure passed
Throughout the debate 10 was notice
able that the addresses Of Republican
senators from the West were those that
reflected most bitterly on the admins
tration's attempt to control silver legiS-
latiou. In any other country enjoying
a popular form OF government such a
decided rebuff would have caused the
overthrow Of the administration. Pres
ident HARRIsoN's experience, however.
ought to be valuable. IL serves 10 show
at least how large blunder small
man can make when given a good OPP
portunity.

As fast as the high tax cohorts build
up the prohibltiye tariff barriers Secre-
tary BLAINE insists on pulling them
down, The letter, which he has just
sent TO the Senate, is one Of the most sig
nigcant that has come from the State
Department I'm years. In one sense, at
least, it is virtual acceptance Of the
doctrine Of free trade. Mr. BLAINE

In other words a condition Of absolute
reciprocal free trade is proposed be-
tween the United States and her sister
Republics.
The MCKINLEY bill is frank in its
avowal Of a principle as far removed as
the poles from the idea suggested bY
the distinguished Secretary Of State.
II is framed upon the line Of prohioitiye
protection. The sole idea embodied in
its schedules Is to advance tariff rates
10 that point when foreign products
will be shut out Of the American mar
ket. II proposes TO reduce revenues by
increasing the rates Of taxation, and
utterly destroying national commerce.
Whatever may be Mr.. BLAINE'S pro-
LESSONS on the tariff question, states
man Of his acutenesS can not but per
celve the disastrous results OF such
a monstrous policy. IL would
create a wall around American industry
and while shutting foreign products out
OF its home market would shut It's pro-
ducts out Of the foreign market. Mr.
BLAINE. therefore, asks that the Nc
KINLEY bill. in so far as il affects South
American States be made nullity'
Unless this is done our trade with those
countries will be crushed and their rap
idly developing commerce turned into
other channels The proposition OF the
Secretary OF State can bee considered
nothing less than admission Of the fatal
weakness Of the Mckinley bin. Both
can no. be right IN their positions. II
the suggestion that national commerce
should be fostered, foreign market
created Tor our products, and freer trade
relations with sister states developed Is
a proper one. then the Mckinley bill Is
wrong from its fest TO its last letter.
