THE TRUE AMERICAN POLICY.

A well-known citizen OF Indianapolis.
prominent in It's social and business af-
fairs, said a day or two ago: I'm former
years l have not been an ardent advo-
cate of a high protective tariff. but the
longer ! live the more convinced l be-
come. that our tariff policy ought to aim
at making the United States a thorough
ly self-supporting, independent country.
We v the greatest wealth INT variety
of natural resources OF any. country in
the world. and 1t should be the first OBJ
'ject of American legislation to develop
them. For this reason / find myself more
and more an advocate OF protection, and
l don't care If you say high protection"
This is good business sense as well as
of every government IS to look out for
the interests of it's own people in the
day and generations in switch 1t exists
and under the circumstances by which
they are surrounded. An economic pol
icy that Is good for one country may be
bad for another differently situated.
Even England practiced protection for
three hundred years out of the three
hundred and fifty that she has had an
international trade, and she would not
hesitate to re-establish protection now
were 1t not that free trade. or the near
est possible approach to it, is necessary
for her existence. If this country were
i~nsular. limited in areaoand or
lacking In any element OF national in
dependence it might find its true policy
In throwing open its doors and inviting
other nations to come in and possess it's
markets. Being continental in extent
and possessing a variety of climate. soil
n resources unequaled by n other
country In the world. together with every
other factor of national Independence.
It's true policy Is the protection and de-
velopment Of home Industries, Ameri-
can interests first and those Of other ma
tions afterwards should belts motto.

A Consular Scandal.

The discovery of the restitution of Mrs.
Henry c. Smith, OF this city, wife of the
United States consul at Santos, Brazil, IL
calling unpleasant attention to an accumu-
lation of scandals in the consular branch OF
the State Department. Smith Is a colored
man who was dug out of obscurity by Hoke
Smith and given a two-thousand-dol-ar job.
Mrs. Smith says he has entirely neglected
his family here, and her story Is believed.
While the late Judge Gresham was alive
several complaints Of fragrant misdemean-
ors lodged against>consuls were discussed,
and Mr.. O.ney gave utterance to the chance
remark that IL he were Secretary of State
he would find a way to purify the service
and get rid OF bad material. He has been
Secretary of State nearly a year, yet he has

It has been asserted by the admirers Of

recognized by any one who had ever seen her

It Is said an effort will be made at the
approaching General Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church to change
that part Of the church discipline which
condemns dancing. card playing. theater

form being regarded by many as too
severe and restrictive in the present era
OF liberal ideas. The opposition will be
strong. however. n the outcome of the
movement Is doubtful. If any change is
made 1t will probably be an elimination
Of specific amusements from the list,

matters OF conscience much should be
left to the individual.
