The Portland daily press., 1896-12-16

of Veterans in Iowa have resolved in
favor of interference on the part of our
government that this is the desire Of the
majority or even large part of the COM
munity. Resolving is very easy business
especially when it carries with it no re-
sponsibility, and zeal especially among the
young Is apt to outrun discretion.
There is undoubtedly throughout the
country wide spread sympathy for the
struggling Cubans and the hope is very
generally entertained that they may be
successful in throwing off the Spanish
yoke, but it is much to be doubted
if anything like majority of the people
are yet ready to advise and encourage
the active interference Of our govern
ment to secure to them what they are
after. 1t has been our traditional policy
to keep aloof frol: ouher nations quarrels
and the people are not ready to abandon
it except for the weightiest OF reasons
If war Is undertaken with Spain it ought
to be undertaken deliberately, and after
calm and full consideration of the argu-
ments that make for it and against it.
We ought certainly not to allow ours
selves to be embroiled by the thoughtless
and elusive elements Of our population.
Tney are not the ones who will have to
bear the chief burdens if war comes and
hence they ara not the ones to decide
whether it shall come or not. The
trouble with these demonstra tions, like
the hanging of Weyler in effigy, and the
enlisting of men for the rebel service. is
that they may precipitate war which
the mass of the conservative people of the
land do not want. Instead, the, efore,
of tanning the fame our statesmen and
public leaders ought to try to keep in
check, until such time at least as good
and su bstantial reasons have arisen for
our interference in The conflict in Cuba.
Before we undertake war we ought to be
sure that there is just cause for it, and
that the conscience of the nation will
approve it,

Whether the silver agitation will he re-
viged again depends upon circumstances.
Mr.. Bryan and the 3ntire corps Of silver
apostles cannot revive it unless circum-
stances favor, any mere than the Green
hackers could the Greenback heresy after
the resumption of specie payments. The
Greenbackers said specie payments
could net be resumed and that their sys-
tenn was the only one that could save the
country from financial ruin. Specie
payments were resumed and in conse-
oueucs they were so thoroughly dis
credited that no one would listen to them
longer. The silver men have declared
that prosperity cannot return to this
country unless our minis are opened to
the free coinage of silver. II prosperity
does come without it, Bryan will not
be able to get a bakers dozen of people
to listen to him shouting. If prosperity
does not return, if business continues
to languish for four years, then not only
may this silver agitation be revived, but
endorsed with even more life than it
had in the recent campaign. 1t will be
the aim of the extreme silver agitators
for the next four years TO make the
country as miserable as possible.s With
this end In view he will obstruct
q protective tariff bill and every other
measure that will tend to make times
better.
The Portland daily press., 1896-12-16

r The Republicans who indulge the hope
that new tariff bill may be made and
passed at this session of Congress must
be very sanguine people. 1t is admitted
that no bill could be prepared before the
first of February, under the process that
has been adopted, and then there would
BIS but thirty days to pass it in. With
clear Republican majority i'll both
branches it wouId be very difficult to dis
pose of a tariff bill in that time, but
with one branch practically in control OF
the silver Senators, as is now the case, 1t
would be impossible, unless those Sena-
tors could be converted which in out OF
the question.

The sober second thought seems to
havo obtained in Congress, and the
promised demonstration over the story Of
Maeeo's assassination did not amount to
much. Tho more the story is considered
TIE more improbable it appears. The
first claim of the Cuhans was that Maceo
was not dead at all-it was all Spanish
1ie-anfi it was not until the evidence of
his death had become SO strong that 1t
could net be successfully denied that
this story of assassination was forth
coming. 1t has therefore very much the
appearance CT an afterthoIght. At any
rate it will be unwise TO proceed upon
tie assumption that it is true until it is
corroborated.

sffairs in connection with the coming
presidency of Gov. Mckinley in the hands
OF Mr.. Marcus A. Hanna. Gov. Mckinley
himself is too dignified statesman to do
this, and Mr.. Hanna is not the sensible

for the President-elect. One story reports

Mr.. Sherman troubles himself much on
this subject at its present stage, and if he
did he would be likely to consult Gov.
Mckinley direstly. 1t 10 too humiliating
to assume him as applying in any other
quarter. The imperfectness of Mr.. Hanna

Wages and Capital An Examination
Of The Wages Fund Doctrine. By F. j.
Taussig. New York: D. Appleton &
Co.. Portland: Loring, Short & Har-
mon.) In this volume Prof. + ". Tau
sig, of Harvard University, examines the
relations of capital to wages, and con-
cludes that wages are paid from capital,
capital. He examines and rejects the
doctrine that ages are paid from the
laborer's own product, The bearing of
this general reason ing on practical prob
lens, such as strikes and trades unions.
and on general economic theory, is then
considered. In the second part of the
book, the literary history of the wages
fund doctrine and of the discussion of
wages and capital is followed in detail.
This important and searching contribu-
ton to economic theory will have wide
reaching effect on the development Of
political economy in the future, and is
indispensable for all who teach or inyes-
tigate general economic theory.
