veiopment of a Anglomanis In Washington
Since March 4, 1898, on the incom-
Ing of the present administration, both
the foreign and internal policy of the
country appears to have been formu-
lated with a view to consideration of
the interests of foreign countries rather
than of our own country. This has ap-
peared not only in one instance, but ia
many instances. Setting aside such ht-
tie matters as the exclusion of China or
Japan tea from the White House kitch
en- and the exclusive use of Ceylon tea.
because il Is English. you know, we
find that similar policy only on a
larger scale and one of greater signifi-
canoe has been carried into our affairs
of state.
The most important feature was the
tariff measur. formulated on English
free trade lines. without any regard on
consideration for the interests of Amer
lean labor or American industries. Hav

conform with that # England, il was
only natural that the same model should
serve on which To fashion our method.

found. would have been insufficient t.

We also have the suggestion made tU

Such are some of the gross exhibitions
