in having that report made said that nc

que ion, hut a reform of the tariff

Let us recall for a moment the condi-
tion existing In these United States In
the year 1892. when our democratic
friends. under the leadership Of Mr..
Cleveland. said this country was sui.
fering from a high protective tariff.
Mr.. Hill of New York said in 1892
that not CT account of. but in spite of
the protective tariff were the American
people prosperous in 1892. They ad-
nitted we were doing well. but told us
we should do better. They admitted
that labor was we'll paid and found con-
slant employment, but they told the la
borer that his wages should be still
higher and those things that he
purchased should be lower. In that
year the Untted States had been under
a republican system OF protective tariff
for 80 years. During the 20 years pre-,
vious to that time there had been paid
each year of the public debt, $67, 900, 900,
and ahi5 had been done with such ease
that the American people never knew
how they paid it. That year, the golden
year ct presently under the administra>
ton Of Benjamin Harrison and under
Mckinley bill cloud applause)every
mill and factory was running full time.
In that year from n end of the land
TO the other labor found employment,
and found it at good wages. In that
year Of grace there vas a report
made by a democratic committee to a
, 1896-10-30

mittee vas appointed for the purpose
c. ascertaining the condition of Ameri-
can labor in the veal 1892. This COM
mittee examined all the reports of the
different labor commissions of the diff
fereat states. They selected for this
work men qualified for the position;
men interested in the condition of
wo%rkingmen; and after carefully com
piling their reports, they submitted
their report to a democratic house OF
representatives. and this report said
that never in the history Of the world
was there a nation CT workingmen as
well paid, and as we'll employed, as the
workingmen OF America-and this un-
der a republican administration and un-
der the Mckinley bill. (Applause.)
They said in their report, after care
ful, earnest research that the amount
of labor in all the lines CT human effort
that In the year 1860 would represent
81, the same amount OF effort In the
year 1892 would bring to the laborer
$1.2S; that further, by reaso Of com.
petition, the price of all manufactured
goods and most commodities had gone
down, 80 that measured DIN that which

Hawaii Is All Right.

The comparatively few people in this
country who want the Hawaiian republic
to collapse must be very much disappointed
at the smoothly satisfactory manner in
which governmental and commercial affairs
are proceeding on the Islands. While the
disheartened schemers against Hawaiian
prosperity have been circulating unsub-
stantial stories as to Internal dissensions
and threatened revolts the movement of
the little republic has been steadily toward
success. Annexation to the United States
Is the goal. but pressure to that end Is not
Low being used; in a brief period of time
the fitness and desirability of Hawaii will
impress themselves so on the American
mind that no serious objection will be made
to new territory In the midst of the Pa
c.fic ocean. Already have we valuable is
land possessions in the North Pacific; the
day is not far distant when the more yalu-
able southern group will also be ours.

Strengthen the Navy.

While Congress Is wondering what ought
to be done to strengthen our navy, the
British admiralty is going right ahead with
an enthusiastic disregard of cost that chal-
lenges admiration. Upon what seems to be
good authority it is announced that the
government will call for the construction
of four battle-ships, four ffrst-class cruisers
four third-class cruisers. sixty torpedo de-
stroyers. large number of new guns and
a considerable increase in the human
forces needed for the manning of the ships
To pay for these things, which the admiral
ty deems essential to the maintenance of
England's greatness. there will have to be
appropriated not less than sixty millions of
dollars; In addition to the regular appro-
priation for the support of Englands al
ready enormous navy. OF course the United
States is not at this time bent upon the
construction of a floating fighting force
sufficiently effective to compete with the
ironclads of the old country, but the Amer
lean people do want a navy which shall be
strong enough to fifty represent the power
and dignity of the republic whenever and
wherever such representations may be de-
sirable. 1t has frequently been pointed out
that our weakness in the man-of-war de-
partment has resulted in an erroneous but
not surprising differentiation Of our ma
tional strength. Congress should see to It
that our navy is speedily strengthened
The country will not complain If the ma ation-
al legislature gives more than the Secre-
tary of the Navy has asked for.

A Debt That Should BE Pnid.

More than two and a half years have
gene by since the collapse of the Ford's
Theater building resulted in the killing
and manning of large number of govern
ment employees who were in nowise respon-
sible for the inexcusable-care arelessness which
resulted in so much of death and misery
Congress was-after a great deal of time
had been wasted-compelled to admit the re-
spcnsibility of the government for the acts
of its agents and then tardy payment of
the sum of five thousand dollars was made
to the wives Or dependent relatives of those
who were crushed or choked to death be-
cause those who were. or should have been,
responsible for the work of construction
failed to do their duty. But not one cent
has yet been paid to those who escaped
sudden dissolution only to drag out their
remaining days as cripples or confirmed in
vafids. 1t would be difficult for any tongue
to tell the story Of the suffering consequent
Upon the exaSperating slowness with which
Congress has proceeded with a work that
deserved Instant attention. Among those
who are waiting-with a patience that Is
gradually turning into despair-are men,
women and children who since the disaster
have, for the first time, become acquainted
with hunger and cold; the physical disa-
Iility of him who had been the bread
winner resulting in actual poverty. That
great government should so neglect those
for whose condition 1t has admitted respon-
s.bility is shameful.

Self-satisfied British Journalists, who
know all about everything, are once more
engaged in assuring their readers that the
apparent interest Of Americans in Cuban
affairs Is due wholly to the fact that this
Is a presidential year. The proof submitted

oughly-convincing sort and consists genar-
ally of declaration that everything here
tofore done by the United States has al
ways been done for political effect. The old

American Aid for Cuba.

The Senate's superb response to Cuba s
appeal is the topic of praise in all circles.
1t is earnest. eloquent, unmistakable, and
for TIE time sufficient. The friends of
Cuba are encouraged-even delighted-and
their prediction is that the deliverance will
be worth whole battalions to the insur-
gents cause. That the House will modify
1T in any way except possibly to strengthen
1t is not regarded as within the probabili-
ties. Chairman Hit in the one body is
made CT the same sturdy stuff as Chairman
Sherman In the other. and the American
spirit Of Speaker Reed is not open to any
mans question.
But what will England say? demands
that small squad who with this as with the
Venezuelan question. woul1 still temporize
and play fast and loose. What can England
say? Her West Indian possessions are not
threatened. except mayhap with increased
prosperity. Improve the condition of Cuba
from that of a backward and impoverished
colony of decaying monarchy to that of
an Independent power in close political and
business league with the United States
and you advance the interests of all those
Islands. Progress is contagious England
mas done very little for her West Indian
dependencies, but 1t Is to her credit, and
at the same time reproach to Spain, that
ehe has never oppressed them The torch.
the sword and, the halter have never been
employed against them. No Enelishman
bearing the faintest resemblance to Cen

there. Why should England object to the
employment Of elevating agencies in a
territory SO very close to her own
What will France say? This question
grows out Of the fact that France
holds the great bulk Of the bonds rem

ing Of the ten years war In Cuba. The
