mines, and not the manufacturers of
copper; the owners of iron mines. and
not the workers in iron, who SKINNED
the cream from the pan. Men like John
Sergeant and the Hazards saw this
years ago. Said Mr.. Sergeant eight
years ago to the writer: Give me my
iron and copper and nickel free of tax,
and | will agree TO keep my 1000 work
men-employed all the time at wages in
creased if changed at all; l will send
my wares to any market in the world
and compete OH equal terms with any
body, and don't care the snap of your
finger whether yon protect what l make
by tax or not" Hazard said the
same as TO wool and woolens.
The proposition to put these articles
that lie at the base of all the great in
dustries on the free list appeals to the
interest of the manufacturers who have
been driven by competition to reduce
cost, but have been met by the monop-
oily OF the material men fortified by
their protection. The strength of these
interests under protection becomes now
their weakness. The interests they have
laia heavy tribute on will not come to
their defense. Self-intcrest will be
prompt to aid in their overthrow. The
present bill is substantially an attack
on the material men. and as such it is
good tactics, as well as being the best
obtanable.
For these reasons the GLOBE accepts
the bill, and will give it its hearty sup
port, regarding it not as tinality, moi
as what the party demanded, but as the
best that can now be obtained, and
which, obtained, contains large promise
of greater strides in the same direction
later.

THE DIFFERENCE.

We are real glad IL we have been able
to admit fact which gives any degree
of pleasure to our ueighbor down the
street. even if the fact be as Old one,
and one so generally understood as Is
the one that the whites of the South
gained their right of control by a sup
preston of the negro vote in localities
where that vote dominated by the use
of force where that was the last resort,
by artifice or persuasion where ley
would win. If the admission affords orr
contemporary any gratincation, We
are sure We do not envy it, nor would
we deprive it Of it.
We say again that it is inevitable in
any part Of the world that, when the
men of the Aryan race come i'll contact
with people OF the uuprogreSSive races.
a conflict for control is sure to ariSe.and
the white will use whatever means are
necessary to win supremacy. Ii mas
always been thus, and thus 1t Will ever
be. 1t is just as true in Hawaii today
as it was of Mississippi or South Caro-
lima two decades ago. And the paper
and the men who today justify the
all the denunciation they have heaped
in the past on the whites of the South
for doing precisely the same thing,
though with greater justification,
The situations are reversed. In Ha-
wall the whites came as strangers, hnd-
ing people with government with
which they were content. 1t was gov
eminent which our own had recognized,
and with which for twenty years we
have had a treaty of reciprocal COM
merce. The whites forced themselves
on the people of Hawaii, and it may be
much doubted whether the contact has
Injured to the benefit Of the natives lii
any way. But in the South tie whites
| were the natives. They owned the soil,
and until the close of the war they
| owned the negroes. They were The
| ruling class.
The emancipation came. The RepuO-
| lican party set out to Republicauize the
Southern states. With one hand it took
| from large classes Of the whites the
| elective franchise. and with the other
| bestowed it on the negroes. 1t eStab-
| lIshed carpet bag governments and up
| held them with federal bayonets. Ii
sought to reverse the universal rule by
subordinating the white to the black. 1t
| failed utterly, as it should fail, as 1t was
inevitable it would fail from the outset.
The government of this country was
used IN the South to overthrow the Gle
ment destined by nature to Iule, and to
eXalt the race which in all the ages had
not shown its capacity for social organi,
zatlon. In Hawaii it was used to over
throw a government of blacks by blacks
| and establish instead a government OF
blacks by small minority Of whites.
With that versatility which character
ICES Republicans they defend each act
with equal vigor. The Inconsistency
does not seem to impair their digestion
in the least. That has been too long
exercised on crow to be disturbed by Sc
slight thing as a somersault.

OUR NEW NAVY.

The annual report of the secretary of
the navy is of unusual interest, as show
ing the progress that has been made by
this country in the direction of naval
supremacy. Without the avoWal of
purpose 10 place the nation on war
footing on the high seas, the United
States has made steady progress. adding
to her armament year by year, taking
advantage of the latest discoveries in
armor and the mechanic arts, and COM
bining all the best features Of modern
ship building in the composition of YES
sells that for speed. endurance and ia
cility of movement surpass all things
afloat.
Our new navy is the outgrowth of the
policy inaugurated during President
CIeveland's first administration. Sec
rotary Whitney early pointed out to con-
gress the defenseleSs condition of our
coasts and the WorthleSsneSS for sea
service of the iron-clads then cOnStitut-
ing almost all orr naval force. On his
recommendation the plan was adopted
of authorizing the construction Of the
cruisers and battleShips that are now
the pride of the nation. To avoid bur-
| depsome taxation, only fixed eXpendi-
ture was authorized each year. 1t was
! provided also that all vessels should be
constructed in the United States, of ma
terial produced at home, and by Ameri-
can citizens. Even the competition for
| designs was confined to those of Amer
lean citizens, while all machinery and
guns-everything entering into con-
| struction and armament, in fact-Were
required to be of home production. The
secretary was firmly Of the belief that
Americans were the peers Of any peo-
| ple on the face of the globe as mechan-
les aud designers, and the results have
demonstrated the correctness Of his
judgment.
The first cruiser OF the new navy,
launched in 1887, was a revelation. 1t
was built at Philadelphia, and on her
trial trip developed speed previously
undreamed of by naval constructors.
Each succeeding vessel has improved
upon its predecessor, both as to speed
and ease of manipulation, until it ap-
pears as if perfection has been reached
in the Columbia, which Oh her trial trip
some six weeks ago developed a speed
OF more than twenty-five miles an hour,
and could ride the waves as gracefully
as swan, while giving quick response
to the slightest movement of her rud
der. Even the most sanguine of marine
architects were astonlshed. and heI
achievements have caused flutter akin
to panic in the British admiralty. AL
ready parliament has been asked for al
appropriation Of e2O,0O0,O0O for the re-
construction of the British navy Oh the
American lines. Germany and France

Davenport Qa.) Democrat.
An income tax and a succession tax
distribute themselves in proportion to
the advantages derived by The taXpay-

tributes itself in proportion to the
necessities of the people. - Seattle

instead of following in the wake of
other nations the United States has at
one bound outstripped them all, and is
today far in advance of all rivals as
naval power.
The success of the government in
building new navy of such proportions
and acknowledged superiority shows to
the world the inherent strength of the
republic. All of our vessels of war are
of strictly American construction and
design; all the material used is of
American production; all the artisans
engaged in work upon them were Amer
lean citizens, native or naturalized. for
it was one of the conditions of the con-
tracts that none but Americans should
be employed in their construction.
Our success also proves the fallacy of
the claim that ships of the best class
cannot be built in the United States-at
least without enormous protection
against foreign ship timber and foreign-
made armor- plate. The arInor OF our
new navy is practically Imp:egnabie,
although much lighter than that used
on foreign ships of war. Tests have
proved it capable of greater resistance
TO solid shot than any other OF like
weight and thickness. Above all, the
speed attained by our new vessels gives
them an incalculaDle advantage over
any other vessels afioat. The flying
squadrons" of former days would be
nowhere in comparison with our cruiS-
ers that can steam nearly six hundred
| miles in twenty four hours, and carry
coal enough for voyage around the
world.
Our new navy is something of which
we have good reason to be proud. 1t
| gives our nation a standing abroad that
| could be attained by no other means.
! Ii is notice to all the world that this
country is capable of defending her citi'
| Zens and her interests Oh any portion OF
| the globe. 1t is notice to Great Brit
| ain that we do not any longer rely upon
the shlpyards of the Mersey or the
| Clyde for our vessels of war. for a far
more efficient navy can be constructed
| here at home. 1t is great object les
son of Self-reliance, that will BE- OF in
| calcuia5le advantage to our own people,
| teaching the lesson, as it does, that our
resources. both natural and industrial,
are equal to any emergency. 1t is, fur
theImore. a guarantee of the mainte-
nance of friendly relations with foreign
powers, for it has been abandantly
proved that the best way to insure peace
| is to be prepared for war.
With ships built, armored and armed
of American material, manned by
American Seamen, and commanded By
| American officers, there need be no feal
that the American name will not BE- re-
spected abroad. This aim has beer
attained by following the policy inaugu
rated by Democratic administration
and at cost that. while great in the
aggregate. has been so widely distrib
uted as to be scarcely felt by the mass o
our citizens and taxpayers.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

There is much doubt expressed as to
whether congress Will have things in
shape for this country to swear off on
protection by New Years day.-Wash-
ington Star.
Now that the governor Of West Vir-
ginia has beard from Chairman Wilson
what does he think of the new Demo-
cratic prOnunciamento on coaI?-PittS-
burg mercial-GaZette.
No matter how much the Wilson bill
may be criticised, the hearts Of the
American people will glow with graft
tude at seeing dried apples. blue vitriol
and teazles placed upon the free list
Washington News.
A bill so aSSailable in its character
and so adverse to the revival of business
prosperity is not likely to be passed at
this or any other session. There are too
many Democrats interested in the bust
ness progress of the country to make
such an anomaly ble.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.
There will be howl because wool Is
placed on the free list, but it will not
come from the farmer. He will be so
we'll pleased with the reduction of the
tariff on other things which he buys
that he will be content to say nothing
Buffalo Times.
The Wilson tariff bill is the offspring
OF cOwardice and selfshness. The COM
mItteo was too cOWardly to draft real
tariff for revenue only and allowed its
action to be dictated by the selfish in
tereSts of sections. Behold the result
ing monstrOsity! Albany journal.
Comprehensive scrutiny and intelli-
gent controversy may impeI congress
finally to the adoption of an automatic
plan of tariff taxation which, while
wi mr. hn Of,
insure the public against impairment Of
the cOuntry's Industrial system.-Brook-
Ign Eagle.
One thing can be said for the Wilson
| tariff bill, even by the protection lords
OF the republican party. 1t Will stop
the fat-frying process. They will not
get exceptional faVors from the govern
ment, and as consequence will not be
compelled to pay for them. -Plttsburg
Post.
| The most gratifying feature of the
| Wilson bill is the extension of the free
list to include the more important raw
materials. This will place the CONSUME
erS OF the country on an equal footing
with foreign buyers, so far as Ameri-
can manufactured products are con-
cerned. and ought to result in cheaper
prices to domestic consumers with no
corresponding loss to American manu-
acturers. -Tol edo Bee.
The bill is much more of revenue
tariff measure than either the Mills bill
or the Morrison bill. and it differs ell
tirely and radically in principle and in
substance from the present Mckinley
law, However faulty it may be as
| measure of complete relief. it will be
| accepted gladly 10y the people in pref
erence to the existing statute-by all
odds the worst of its kind in the whole
| course of tariff egIslation.--Atlanta

THE WAYS AND NE

HI u W n y An ID NJ n ANS BALL
The readers of the GLOBE will hardly
expect it to fall into raptures over the
bill which the ways and means COM
mittee has formulated for the collection
of revenue from imports. No person
who regards a tax on imports as vicious
in principle, as unjust i'll operation and
as the most expensive system, short of
the Turkish farming of the revenues,
which could be devised, will regard
with pleasure this or any other tariff
bill. Those more moderate Democrats
who, still abiding with their traditions,
venerate as the eXemplificatiOn of the
highest wisdom a revenue tariff, and
cannot imagine how governments could
exist without it, will hardly accept this
as an ideal bill.
But the bill has its virtues, aud they
vastly outweigh its vices. The first
prominent virtue is that it moves, not
faces, but moves, in the right direction.
1t is distinct countermarch. 1t turns
the face of this country's policy from
paternalism and towards individualism.
| 1t looks towards and takes long stride
! toward freedom of the exchanges of the
| products of human industry, and sets
| a pace which will not rest until that is
| attained. 1t is this fact that the pro-
| tectionists realize, and which gives the
| edge to the Virulence of their oppoSi-
ton. They see that this bill means free
trade some day justas clearly as did the
| Southern slave owners see that the con-
| finement of slavery to the states. and
! =, of itC GVtQnCinn tO
| states, meant its ultimate destruction.
| 1t is not that there Is no protection in it;
we have shown that its measure of pro-
lection exceeds that demanded by their
Minneapolis plank. 1t is that it writes
on the wall the decree destroying the
slavery of protection.
Its second virtue is IN its manner of
attack. Mr.. Wilson and his committee
were confronted with condition, not a
theory They beheld before them an
aggregation of selfiShness which en-
braced almost every industry in the ma
ton, and impressed each with convic-
ton that protection by tariff taxation
enhanced its profits. That this was not
so in fact, that it operated injuriously
to most of them, made no difference sc
long as the impression OF benefit re-
NAMED. AS tactician. knowing that
he must do what he could, ard that he
could not do what he would, Mr.. Wilson
knew that an assault all along the line
would result in probable defeat; i
would surely imperil success. As any
wise general would do, he attacks The
weakest points on the intrenched linz
and aims to divide the enemy's forces
