WILSON EXPLAINS 1T.
Tariff Did Not Cause the Defeat
of the Democrats.
Hard Times an Enemy Before Which
No Party Can Make
Stand.

NEW YORK, Nov. lin letter to the
Press from Washington. Hon. William L..
Wilson gives his views OF the cause of
Democratic defeat. He writes: "Hard
times is an enemy before which no polti-
cal party in America has ever been able to
make a successful stand when in power.
This is, and perhaps always will be. weak
point in popular government. When labor
is out of employment, when farm products
are low. when our financial system is dis
organized, the wisest administration OF
Government and the most wholesome laws
do not avail to save party from tempo
rary and disastrous overthrow.
Moreover, the whole teaching of the
protective system trains mon TO depend,
not on individual effort, the plain virtues
of industry, thrift and temperance for
business prosperity and material comfort.
but on Government aid and laws of Con-
gress. Let me add also that we, together
with our progressive nation, are now pass
ing through an era of change, of unrest
and of somewhat tumultuous agitation.
The rapid adoption of the great inStru-
ments of modern industry and trade, the
complete revolution which these are bring
ing about in production and distribution,
their steady obliteratiOn of immemorial
handicrafts, their dislocation of many in
dustries-all this, together with the un-
settled relations between labor and capital,
have swept us into an era where for some
years it may be increasingly difficult for
any one party to hold on to the Federal
Government for any long time.
II do not believe the people have re-
buked or discarded tariff reform in their
action last Tuesday. In every campaign
since 1886, except that of 1888, the Dem o.
cratic party has won a decided victory on
that issue. To contend, therefore, that
the people have now chastised the Demo-
cratic party for doing what they put into
their power to do is to question their
honesty and intelligence. If they have
inflicted chastisement it Is because the
party did not carry out with sufficient
promptness and thoroughness the work
they committed to il. The long and indie.
fensible delay in the Senate. the sinister
suspicious that gathered around certain
schedules and duties as thev are
framed now, kindled disappointment
and disgust among the rank and file
of the party that led to apathy and
even misjudged hostility in the recent
elections. L have no doubt that If the bill
which passed the House on the first DAYS
OF February passed the Senate as early as
April or May in substantially its original
shape the result in Missouri and in many
other sections of the country would have
been reversed and the Democrats might
have even weathered the industrial storm
with credit il not success.

the Immigration Inspector and were per-
mitted 10 come to the city.
The Scotland Yard detectives were hot
after Mowbray and his son when they left
England. The younger Mowbray, 1t seems,
enlisted in the army only to spread the
doctrines of anarchist-socialism. He was
stationed at Plymouth when the detectives
in some way let him know he was under
their surveillance, and he deserted and
sailed with his father on the Campania

chists at the Thalia Theater on the Bowery

MEDIATION IN ORDER.
Japan May Consent If Assured of
PrODer IndemnifX

TOXIC, Nov. 11.-United States Minister
Dunn has communicated to the Ministry
the substance of an important cipher cable
proposition received from Secretary
Gresham at Washington. II suggests that
If Japan will join in requesting the Presi-
dent OF the United States to act as media
Tor in settling the war he will exercise his
good Offices in that capacity. A similar
proposition has been cent to China. The
cable was received by Minister Dunn on
Friday and was presented at special
meeting of the Ministry.
An answer has not yet been sent. The
proposition presents a grave question to
the Ministry. They are urged on one hand
by the popular sentiment to continue the
war and crush China. On the other hand,
European powers are threatening to inter
vene. As between these conflicting influ-
ences the Ministry find great difficulty In
reaching decision on the American propo-
sitiOn, but the prospect is that it will be
accepted.
1t is learned that four days ago France
made proposition to the United States to
intervene.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is the belief
here that China will readily accent the
Japan will do so after she is assured of
proper indemnity from China.
1t is not likely that japan will accent
the mediation unless 500, 900, 900 is offered,
This will about represent what Japan has
actually spent on the war. This is roughly
figured as follows: Japan had a reserve

began. This has bean spent Then she

being about equal to our dolar) This
makes $4,000, 900 actually used in the
war. Besides this Japanese citizens have
contributed large sums, and the Govern
ment has incurred other large obligations.
The cable disclosure from Toxic that
France made proposition to the United
States four days ago adds new feature
TO the case here. 1t is said European pow
er5 were urging forcible Intervention and
this had been largely instrumental in in
ducing the United States TO suggest medi-
alton without force. II is understood that
the French proposition has been rejected.
The situation, therefore, presents an in
tere5ting game of in ternational diplomacy.
On one hand the great powers of Europe
are threatening to forcib!y come between
China and Japan. while on the other hand
the United States offers to come between
them as a peacemaker. AS between the
two propositions it is not doubted that the
two contending powers will look to the
United States.
LONDON, Nov. 12.-The correspondent
OF the Chronicle al Rome telegrapbs that
he has been assured that Italy has told the
powers they ought to allow the Japanese
to occupy Peking before there is any me-
diation between the combatants.
