FOR STARVING RUSSIA.

The state of Minnesota sending a ship
load of -four TO the starving of Russia
would be deed worthy of the state.
We hope to see it dOne.-Winona Herald

acteristic generosity, have contributed
train load Of flour for the starving

ton calling upon our prosperous people
to help starving Russia. In the eloquent
words OF 5. 5. PrentisS on a similar Oc-

licit such contributions and forward

THE REPUBLICAN HOPE.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS has always
been a Republican, although disagreeing
with the high tariff policy Of the party,
and sometimes voting against his party
OH national issues. At the late election
in New York he supported the Repub-
lican ticket. In recent article in Har-
per's Weekly, he attributes the defeat
Of his party TO the popular disaffectiOn.
especially in the rural districts, with
McKinleyism, added to dislike of PLATr
bossism. he is free to admit that the
Republican tariff policy is failure, and
has the candOr to say that 1.-The chief
hope for the next year is the folly of the
Democrats" He expects that party
pride will force the Republican
convention to give a strong APP
prOVai of the MCKINLEY policy"
In consequence the chances Of sue
cess have the frail basis of Democratic
blunders that will repel from their party
the elements that have been driven from
the Republicans by dissatisfaction with
prOteetionism. This may be conceded
to be the right diagnosis of the Situa-
ton. The Democratic majority i'm the
MUST ID uuuSual, anu the compact I'LL
nority, led by eX-Speaker REED, will
devote its energies to attempts to induce
the Democrats to do the fool act and fall
into pitfalls. 1t is not altogether a
patriotic or dignified role for a great
party. That it will be a success, Mr..
CURTIS says, sis what Republicans be-
lieye, and OH that danger they rest their
hopes" 1t Is worth while for the Demo
Gratis to take note OF the prOgnostica-
tons of their enemies. Not that there
is much real danger that the Republi-
cans will realize their hopes, but great
strength does sometimes lead to a con-
fidence that provokes imprudence. The
Democrats N the house have in their
hands the nHXt presidency. Only de-
gree of folly anticipated solely by Re-
publicans can throw it away. There
are no indications that the Democrats
are likely to play into the eager hands
of he enemy.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

There are earnest supporters in con-
gress for Mr.. WANAMAKER'S favOrite
project of postal savings banks. The
New England and other Eastern states
have comparatively little interest in the
matter, as they are well supplied with
savings banks. The enormous number
of depOs!tors shows their value TO the
classes that have special need to save
their limited means. In the w est and
South there are few savings banks, and
the opening is favorable for the postal
system. There is no question as to the
beneficial effects of a convenient and
safe way for the small earnerS to put
aside a fraction of dollar out of each
one earned. tits well for official agencies
to encourage this habit by the poor man;
or if the young man or girl, who have but
a few cents above their needful outlay
each week can deposit it at the post
Office with little red tape business, they
will often do so, no doubt, when they
would hesitate to go to even savings
bank. They are accustomed to using
pennies and small amounts at the post
office. These little sums are usually al
way if no immediate convenience for
saving is at hand. The postal savings
bank system has been in use in the
more progressive European nations for
a long time, and very largely patron
lied. In Austria the wage earnerS
quite commonly deposit all their weekly
gains in the pOStoffice. as they are al
lowed TO draw small checks upon the
deposits. They pay their butchers,
grocers and tradespeOple with checks.
This is possibly not desirable feature
OF the system, as it is too easy 70 draw
checks. But it is not proposed to adopt
this method. From the nature of the
case, the government cannot pay the
depositor as high q rate of interest as
the savings bank. The money of the
latter is largely loaned to persons who
want to build themselves homes
or to local improvements, and may
pay 4 per cent or a little more,
while the government could not
make the business self-sustaining if
it went above per cent. But the rate
OF interest is not the material point.
The small money Garner wants a con-
yenient and absolutely secure place of
laying aside portions of his earnings.
There are objections to adding to the
scope and extent Of any of the govern
ment functions, but The experience of
the postal savings attachment in other
countries is not understood to have de-
veloped any features that are repug-
nant to American ideas.

LOAN TO THE FAIR.

The president is expected to recon-
mend in his message to congress that
congress authorize loan to the Column
bian fair of S5,0OO.OO0. No doubt that
body will be fayorably inclined toward
the enterprise. and willing to extend all
the aid practicable. 1t will. however,
be apt to insist upon very safe guaran-
tees for the refunding of the money
when it loans a few millions out of the
government treasury. The personal
bond Of the chief officers of the fair and
some of the milliOnaires of Chicago
would be simple and probably salts
factory method of providing the
security. A loan of a million and
half was made 10 the centennial.
and MI. SPRINGER, who specially rep
resents the fair interest in congress.
will remember the effort he made to re-
cover it. He will no doubt be glad to
see that no loOpholes are left in this
case. There will be an expenditure OF
over S20,0OO,0O0 before the first dollar
comes in at the gates. and it is not ex-
pected it will be financially paving
affair. Should. however. provision be
made Cor applying the first $1,000, 600 on
the government loan, there would be
relief to those who might unjustly ap-
prehend that the Chicago disposition
would be to meet good many other OBJ
legations first.

THE FOSTERING POLICY.

When congress provided bounty of
two cents pound for the production of
sugar the state of Nebraska Withdrew
the similar bounty it was Offering to its
beet sugar makers. There is now ap-
prehension in the sugar districts that
the national bonus may not be a dur
able reliance. California and Nebraska
are the leading states in the beet sugar
production. A prominent paper in the
California sugar region has the some
what novel iGea that, in addition to the
possible loss of the bounty, there may
be injury to the business from competi-
ton. 1t has a fOreboding that, under
the effects of these influences, ''the
business will cease to be more profitable
than common staple enterprises"
That statement is very suggestive.
1t illustrates the spirit of the protective
philosophy. The government fostering
is wanted in order that q business shall
afford larger profits than common "staple
enterprises" The mutations and con-
tingencies that attend ordinary indus
tries must be averted by the guardian
hand of the government. There must
be discrimination in its favor. Just
how the California party would prevent
undesired competition is not indicated.
Perhaps it would revive the duty on i'm
ported sugars. But protection would
take under its sheltering wing the
favored lines of business effort. When
competition endangers the high profits
there must be repression, and somehow
the situation manipulated so as to keep
the figures at the desired altitude. The
special classes must be taken care of,
while the others are allowed to shift for
themselves. This is the gist of the fos
terlng system. Were there bounties
paid on all other crops or productions
that could make similar showing of
need, there would be little benefit to
any, for the element of discrimination
would be wanting. A high tariff means
helping one at the expense of another.
This is point that its advocates eyade
or stumble over. They insist that
If one class prOSpers all must
share the prosperity. Facts and
details would trouble them if they
attempted to apply them fairly. They
would find deserted and decaying farms
in the East in the midst of the prosper
ing districts. The beet growers of Cali
fornia have the fostering policy, wheth-
er by tariff or bOunties, rightly inter-
preted. 1t is to them the government
guarantee to keep business above 1.-The
profit of staple enterprises" This is
great thing for the few, but hard on the
many. Its results have been to aggre-
gate the wealth of the country in the
hands of the small minority at the ex-
pense of the majority.

RED TAPE UNWOuND

The department of state at Washing
ton has thrown to the people some of
the official correspondence between Ger
man diplomats and American manipu-
latOrs of statecraft. This epistOlary
match to a finish, conducted under Nc
KINLEY rules, has, of course, been con-
Quoted in secrecy during the past three
months, and is now brought to light
with a great flourish of diplomatic tIum-
pets. What does it all amount To-?
Simply this: Instead OF enforcing strict
prohibition against American pork. the
raw and manufactured article will be
admitted to Germany under the reStric-
lions of a moderate duty. The German
duty upon few American agricultural
products is also lowered sufficiently to
permit little business in these lines TO
be conducted between the two nations.
Among the concessions on our part in
this friendly reciprocal arrangement,
the duty on German sugar is reduced.
This statement sounds strangely in the
face of the fact that Republican organs
and orators have been chanting the
praise of free sugar" for more than
twelve months, and that the late mes
sage of President HARRISON contains a
homiiy upon the same sweet achieve
ment of Republican statecraft.
Still, this assumed revelation by the
department of state is not i'll the nature
of news TO the American people. The
startling denouement" does not startle
us to any great extent, or otherwise dis
turb our mental equip0ise. For three
months past it has been known that an
arrangement of some kind was pending
between Germany and the United States
whereby the American hog was to nave
a fair show in the Fatilerland. Bill one

thing is developed by this gradual un-
winding of red tape-this one break in
the dull routine of the circumlocuiion
office-and that is this: The reciprocity
clause in the MCKINLEY bill is fully as
much retaliatory as it is reciprocal. The
power which it gives to the president to
juggle with commerce at his own sweet
will is dangerous one with which to
invest any public functionary. The
president of the United States should
have no more right to say when and
with whom this nation should trade and
barter than has the governor of anv
state in the Union to say when and with
what other states the residents of the
domain over which he presides should
do business. The entire reciprocity
clause in the MCKINLEY tariff bill is
artificial, unnatural and in direct con-
tlict with the sound. economic princi-
pies of commerce. The idea that the
political head of republic should have
the power to encourage or interdict the
flow of international barter is abb orient
to the genius of free govern mental-in-
situations.
