PROTECTION VS.. M.kinLEY,sm.
Prohibitive Rates of the Mckinley Bill
and Their Reaulks-

Prohibitive Rates of the Mckinley Bill
and Their Results.
Hon. John A. Kasson, who will be
favorably remembered as a republican
member of congress score of years
ago, writes letter to the Washington
Post to protest against the use of the
phrase Mckinley ism Is dead" That
is, Mr.. Kasson objects to that phrase
If it is to be understood that McKin-
leyism means national protection"
and inferentially he conveys the idea
that if it doesn't mean that, but some
thing else, then he doesn't care q con-
tinental cuss what becomes of 1t.
Mr.. Kasson is justified in feeling
some anxiety on that point, and in
order to relieve his mind the Times as
sures him that McKinleyism doesn't
mean national protection" What it
means is the robbery of the many to
enrich the few, impoverishing the
millions to add to the plumber of the
trusts, and reimbursing the manufac-
turing barons for the millions of dol.
lars they contributed to the republican
corruption fund in 1855 and 1892 in or
the voters of the country in the inter
est of the repu blican pIunderers-
That is what McKinleyism means, as
distinguished from national protec.
ton. When Mr.. Kasson represented
an Iowa constituency in congress the
government was under the policy OF
national protection, and he was among
those republicans who protested
against the increase of the tariff taxes
for the reason as they then said that
higher duties would be burdensome
and unjust. Subsequently such presi-
dents of his party as Grant and Arthur
recommended a reduction of the du-
ties But McKinleyism doubled them
in nearly every particular, and estab-
lished not protective but prohibitive
rates.
The consequence of the substitution
of McKinleyism for national protec-
ton was the formation of sugar
trust, steel trust, cordage trust, a
barbed wire trust and various other
trusts, the business of which was to
plumber the people, and they did bust
ness with great earnestness and assidu-
ity until the election of 1899 knocked
them silly. Then the new tariff bill
was enacted, and, though the advo-
Gates of McKinleyism denounce it as
free trade measure. it provides for du-
ties trife higher than those which
existed when Mr.. Kasson was in con-
gress.-Kansas CITY Times

JOHN w. FOSTER
Going to Japan to Assist the Chinese Peace
Commissioners.

Going to Japan to Assist the Chinese Peace
Commissioners.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-Mr. John w.
Foster has been requested by the Chi
nese government to go to Japan and
meet the plenipotentiaries of the
former government to aid them in
their negotiations for peace. He has
accepted the invitation, and expects to
leave Washington within day or two,
sailing from Vancouver for Yokohama
an January z, unless informed of a de-
lay in the departure of the plenipoten.
tiaries.
The japanese government has been
advised of the appointment, and its
minister in this city has expressed his
satisfaction with it.
Mr.. Foster desires to have it under
stood that he goes to Japan purely in
a private capacity as an adviser of the
Chinese plenipotentiary. He has no
authority to represent or speak for the
government of the United States.
The fact that Mr.. Fosters APP
pointment was submitted to the jap
anese government and approved by it.,
indicates that polite overtures, as ex-
clusively announced by the United
Press at the time, were begun stimuli
taneously with Mr.. Fosters selection
as the adviser of the Chinese govern
ment.
Mr.. Foster has had an extended di-
plomatic career, having in addition to
being secretary of state in President
Harrison's cabinet, represented the
United States at the court of Spain,
and more recently one of the counsel
of the United States in the Behring
sea arbitration at Paris.
The immediate effect of his appoint
ment will be to delay the beginning of
the peace negotiations.
Mr.. Fosters mission ais taken as an
indication that the Chinese expect to
gain more favorable terms from Japan
than has hitherto been considered at
all probable. AS. Mr.. Foster does not
intend to sail for more than a week,
and the voyage across the Pacific will
consume two weeks more, nearly a
month must elapse before the peace
negotiations are fairly inaugurated.

sponsible for Her Present Condition.
LONDON, Dec. 2s.-The Daily News
says to-day, in a leader on the arrests
of the bank officers in Newfoundland
yesterday: The arrests seem to be in
the nature of an heroic remedy for the
financial troubles in the colony.
Whatever the issue of the prosecution
may be, it can hardly strengthen the
public confidence on which the poor
remnant of the colony's prosperity
for the moment rests. Newfoundland
is in piteous state. She has almost
returned to first principles as social
organization, and she must now regret
her shortsighted refusal to enter the
dominion. If she had joined the fed
Grafton she would have better claim
on the support Of her sister commune
ties. Her refusal never was based on
any other reason than selfish pru-
dence."

a probability of an extra session of the

present deficit of about $500. 600,
which is increasing daily. When
