AMERICAN MACHINERY IN sIlM.

Our consul general in Siam wants to intro
duce American agricultural machinery for
the cultivation of rice. If he is successful,
that will mean more work in American imple-
ment factories, and as consequence an in
creased production Of rice in Siam. This
will cause increased competition in the mar
kets of the world, and the pauper rice of
Farther India. aided and abetted by American
machinery, will further cut the price for the
southern planter, and he in turn will reduce
the wages Of his hands. Who will reap the
benefit then? The northern employer of Hun
garians will win when the southern hirer Of
Africans loses. And the protectionist in the
Senate will say it is made all right by putting
duty on rice.
Unfortunately, we export rice, and as his
duty-levying powers do not extend to Liver
pool, the planter loses money on his crop. and
the depressed African gets a dollar less q
month, while the implement manufacturer cuts
his hands because times are hard, and he can,
and there is Wilson tariff amended out of
all shape before the Senate.
For information on agricultural machinery

Mr.. Breckinridse and sings songs about two
other little girls in blue. All the way through
he is very nearly original, and he is very much
liked. lie sings impromptu songs, hitting the
ladies in the boxes, the dudes, the bald-headed
gentlemen, the young man rushing the season
with his straw. and the two young fellows
in the front run out without their
mothers consent. At last he says ne has

ARGUING FoR IMMIGaATIoN.

Senator Frye is nothing if no. logical In
the tariff debate yesterday Senator Allen
accused him OF the Inconsistency of endeavor-
ing to protect American labor by high duties
on its products while he advocates Tree trade
in labor itself, whereby the American high
priced laborer was displaced by the inporta-
tion OF the foreign cheap laborer.:
Senator Frye denied that the American
laborer was displaced by his foreign compe.-
itor; he displaced himself and engaged in
something better. Every able-bodied Ia
borer that came into this country, Mr.. Frye
said, was worth thousand dollars to it, Tor
he Immediately became consumer, and il
creased the home market.
By this mode of reasoning Gen. Coxey
ought to be considered a great benefactor to
the people Of the District of Columbia. II he

ing them at $1,000 each, they ought to be
worth just s1Oo, 100000 to our home market.

A TECHNICAL HERETO.

From an ecclesiastical standpoint no logi-
cal fault can be found with the verdict OF
guilty in the heresy trial OF Rev. Henry Pre-
served Smith before the Presbyterian synod.
When Mr. Smith entered the ministry he sub
scribed to the creed OF the Presbyterian
Church. That creed declares in unmistaka-
BILE terms, not only in what authority its ad-
herents shall believe, but how they shall in
terpret that authority. When Mr. Smith
found that mentally he was no longer in
accord with the creed he once professed he
could have stepped out into any of the less
exacting churches of the country without
much comment, but he chose to remain and
preach views which the synod have deemed
heretical to creed that he deems outworn.
Fortunately for Mr.. Smith the word hereto
has lost its ancient meaning. 1t is no longer
permissible to visit death, torture, or impris-
onment upon such as he. Neither are his
goods or lands forfeit. He can still pursue his
calling as a preacher, and is free from social
ostracism. Heresy has come to mean simply
a difference in theological opinions.
Inside the Presbyterian fold is an enthu-
siastic, growing, and intellectual minority,
clergy as well as laity, to whom Mr.. Smith
will seem as mildly martyred man. He has
sought to lead the way to a broader construc-
tion of ancient dogmas by his ecclesiastical
associates. The title of hereto, with which
his efforts have been rewarded, will assume
a halo in their eyes, and in the great out
side world, where creed binds lightly. and
the religion a man lives, rather than that he
processes, is the measure of his worth. there
will come the impression that heretics like
Smith can better spare his church than his
church can spare its heretics.

BAILEY AND BONDS.

Mr.. Bailey, OF Texas, objects to the issuance
of bonds for current expenses. There are
some other people-perhaps not entirely in
sympathy with this "business administra-
tion"-who cannot see clearly why this ma
ton, after thirty years of peace and pros
perity, should be obliged to borrow money.
This hocus-pocus, whereby bonds are issued
to obtain gold for the Treasury reserve, this
same gold is drawn-in Treasury rulings-to
meet government obligations, then new OBJ
legations issued to replace the deficit, and
then gold paid out to meet these obligations,
is becoming tiresome to them.
The idea is this: The rulers Of this people
prefer borrowing money to taxing the prop
erty OF this country to pay the legitimate e1-
have succeeded in placing the burden Of tax
alton upon consumption rather than prop
erty. They have drawn the revenues from
the poor by indirect levies rather than by
direct taxation from the rich. Now, when
there seems a prospect Of reducing the rev.
cauc by Tightening the tariff, men who will
,lnelit largely from the proposed change in
Indirect tax hope to escape this direct addi-
ton by borrowing, by issuing bonds, which
these same men will buy and draw interest
thereon from the government.
The more protection and the more profit
these people get tho less they wish to pay for
&, and it is from them the clamor comes for
tie issue of bonds and the death of the in
come tax. These gentlemen are the con-
stituents of Mr.. Hill, while Mr.. Bailey repre-
sents the agriculturists of Texas. Both are
Democrats. That was fine, large platform.
