Tammany Hall in New York is gen.
orally admitted to be the most disrep-
utable political organization in this
country. Many good men vote it's tick
cts, but its managers are men who have
but one idea in politics-the plundering
of big city. 1t holds power over the
mass of ignorant and vicious voters by
corrupt methods and by pandering to
vice and crime. Probe Tammany's rule
in any department and inefficiency, prof.
LEGACY and corruption are found. One
of the peculiar features of Tammany is
that it holds a number of men among its
prominent leaders who are personally
unObjectionable and are generally popu-
lar, and these men 1T selects for high
Office. They are men Of good address,
of fair reputation, but ambitious for
public position. The present Mayor is
one of that class. He is never seen in
the gin-mills about which Tammany's
majorities swarm. He affects the New
York gentleman. He lives up town,
belongs to a semi-aristocratic and popu-
lar club, associates with men who stand
aloof from the heelers who marshal the
mass of voters, and personally is a rep
utable man. OF course he must meet the
men who made him and who control him,
hut both understand that the contact is
disagreeable. He understands that he
has been given the office because of his
seeming responsibility and must do the
bidding of the bosses who have made
him. They know that they can enforce
their demands by holding over him the
skull and cross bones of political death.
He is not Mayor of New York city, but
the tool of the disreputable men who
marshal the mass of ignorance, stupidi-
ty and vlciousness which gives Tamma-
ny 100000 voters and the Democratic
party its only hope of carrying New
York State, and consequently its only
hope of electipg President.
Every Tammany is built after the same
specifications. and every city of any size
has Tammany. Indianapolis has its
small but growing Tammany. Here. as in
New York, it controls the Democratic
| party. 1t fought the present charter

voters of Indianapolis.

of the city should be reserved for the

PROTECTION NOT FREE TRADE IN SPOTS. y

There are many things concerning
which the Evening News possesses in
formation, and, unfortunately, there
are few concerning which its misin-
formation is infinite. The statement it
made that reciprocity with Spain els
limited free trade with Spain" is
the assumption of complete and ey-
identity helpless ignorance, helpless
because the person who q uotes a
member of the Golden CLUB as an
authority is cropping about in a dun
geOn into which no natural light can
ever come. Instead of being limited
free trade reciprocity is extended and
perfected protection. Reciprocity is the
natural outgrowth of protection. If
there were universal free trade there
would be no call for treaties of rec
iprocity. If the News-which ac-
cepts the maxims of the Cob
den Club as slices of infallibility-had
carefully read its last declaration upon
the proposition of certain Englishmen to
establish a commercial union between
Great Britain and her dependencies, in
which it was declared that such reciprO-
city is the device of protectiOnists, it
would not have made such state
ment as that reciprocity is "free trade
in spots" On the contrary. all the
reciprocal arrangements which have
been made have been urged in de-
fiance of the idea of free trade. If all
that the protectionist administration
sought of Brazil or Spain was equal OPP
portunities with other countries, which
is free trade, there would have been no
cause for the treaties which have been
made, since American products were ad-
mitted to Brazil and Cuba upon the
same terms as those of other nations be-
fore such treaties were made. 1t
was not satisfied with this free
trade, and consequently it sought
to make bargain which would
secure to Brazil, Cuba and the United
States special and mutual advantage.
Brazil and Cuba are toreceive American
-four and American products generally at
much lower rates of duty than the same
mtTCuduOlSc VI OtucI udCiOubs LII OtucT
words, instead of beng free trade in
spots, it is American protection adopted
by other nations for the benefit of Ameri-
can industries. When Brazil admits
American -four free and puts duty of
25 per cent. on all other -four imported, it
gives the American producer as much
the benefit of the theory of protection
as does the American Congress the
American iron trade when it imposes a
duty of 81 ton on pig-iron. Reciprocity
is the extension of the American pro-
tective system to other nations and in
ducing them to adopt it for the benefit
of Americans to the exclusion of others.
Consequently. the talk of the News
about Limited free trade" as if any
thing "linited" could be free, shows the
exhausted condition of an overworked
intellect that wrestles with the Golden
Club phrases like Irresistible econO-
miee.n which must mean pearl buttons
made by Austrian convict labor.

In the course of an extended article re-
garding the provisions of the reciprocal
treaty with Spain, the New York Sun
says:
If our farmers and manufacturers will
ponder this list, bearing in mind that the
market henceforth free to them will be
practically shut By heavy duties to their
competitors they will appreciate the adj
vantage gained by American diplomacy.
But we have not yet. by any means,
summed MP tho profits derivabie by Amer
lean producers from the new Spanish treaty.
Even where the customs duties on our ex-
port staples have not been entirely removed
they have been strikingly reduced.
The Sun is not a.paper to gush over
the achievements of Republican admin.
istration. but, on the contrary, is very
prompt to criticise. When, therefore. it
remarks that those who ponder the
treaty twill appreciate the advantages
gained by American diplomacy" it be-
slows much praise upon the administra-
ton. The article closes with the fol-
lowing sentences:
The more carefully the details of this
treaty are examined. the more manifest it
will be that q great deal has been gained
for the American producer. while at the
same time o prospect of regeneration is
offered to the gem of the Antilles.
Such statements from an intelligent
Democratic paper like the Sun are the
highest testimonials to. the statesman
ship of the reciprocity sections of the
Mckinley law and to the skill of the
administration.
