PERHAPS Germany will eventu-
ally understand that in dealing
with the United States she has a
foe worthy her steel. If Germany
closes her potts against American
ships unless they pay tonnage, her
vessels will receive like treatment
at our hands. AS Germany will
be the larger sufferer of the two
nations, because Of her greater
number of ships, she may pause at
the door of her own opening, But
be this as it may, European ma
tions must be given to understand
that this government has passed
out of its youth.

NEBRASKA produces great
many beets, and a large amount of
beet sugar. The state does all in
its power to help the industry
along not only through legislative
enactment, but by encouragement
of influential public men. In Ore
gon where more beets, and a better
grade can be raised to the acre, we
continue to pay out over a million
dollars for sugar which might be
produced within our borders. Our
manner of sending our money away
in this manner is not highly con-
ductive to the wealth of the north
west.

the people generally and the newspa-
pers all along the Monongahela and
Ohio valleys during the past few days
are Thoroughly appreciated by the home
folks. HIS position on the rivers and
harbors committee at Washington has
given him the opportunity to be of the
greatest use to the business interests of
these valleys, and to his indomInitable
energy is due in great measure the
awakening of the interest in river I'm
provements and the recent visit OF the
committee. the result of which will be
OF inestimable benefit in the years to
come.
The local committees that did their
work so well could have accomplished
little without the aid OF West virginia's
representative on the rivers and har-

toward the accomplishment Of the i'm
provements needed. He will be heard

The Washington Post Independently
pays a tribute TO Senator Elkins which
every one who knows the senator will
appreciate as being deserved Refer
ring TO the record the senator has made
for himself in the few months he
has been in the senate. the Post says
4 that III there is one man with the cour-
age OF his convictions, Il is stephen B.
Ell.ins. OF West Virginia
Our contemporary points out, in sup
port Of It's assertion, that when Mr.. Ell
kins thought that e was the proper
thing to protest against the private syn
dlestIng OF public bonds, he did so with
resolution in the senate. and then.
when he brought forward proposition
70 levy discriminating duties on aru-
Giles imported in foreign ships. he was
Indifferent to the appeals made to him
q let the subject alone. Now, says the
Post, he comes forward with another
idea. He wants tax OF ten dollars a
head levied on all immigrants who come
to this country in vessels not ;Si.ed by
citizens OF the United States. or sailing
under the United States flag.
Some politicians have warned Senator
Elkins that he is treading on dangerous
ground, and this is what he has to say
on that point;
az have been told that this question Of
immigration 4 something that ! ought
moi to deal with. cannot see why, U I

should not express them. In TINS case
believe we want TO curtnH THIS lndit.

10 many people tiocking Into this country,
we ought 10 be very select about who
comes In. but II they want 20 come: let
them come in our ships, or else let them
nay something for the revenues OF the
Government by tax. II We can divert
tke tide OF Immigration from these foreign
Fhips 10 our own, VIC are doing something
for our people. ] am going 10 make q
gfieech on this subject" said the senator
ii, conclusion, " even II we are on the
eve OF a presidential campaign"
Mr.. Eiklns IS right and the warning
politicians are wrong, The people OF
the unlted States win heartily endorse
what he says, and among the people are
many Thousands OF foreign born Ameri-
can citizens who endorse the position.
There Is no politics in II. 1t is purely a
social and economic question in which
nh the people. be they native Americans
or foreign born, are interested. Mr.. Ell
kins puts the matter very forcibly and
very practically. He need not be afraid
OF the political effect.

Referring TO the old-bloodcd PROPOSE
ton of the insignificant free silver fac
ton OF the Republican party to support
protection in return for free silver. the
Pittsburgh Times has this pertinent
comment:
II the free silver men want to press
their doctrine. all right. and In so lar aa
they present sensible argument they
Wilt be heard and needed. But the rule
or ruin policy is not the american ms, styi AZ

to the whole nation that We may not nave

Industries, unless surrender is made 70
band OF political highwaymen, something
may get ready TO drop.
That Is proper talk. The Republican
party is big enough and solid enough to
be able to resent such a proposition. and
will do 1t. The party never was in bet
ter condition than 1t is in to-day. and
there is no necessity for 1t to make
dickers with the dishonest money hob
biests. It never has and 1t never will
consent to a compromise such as sag-
gested.
RepublIcanlsm means honest money
and good government as much as it
means protection to American indus
tries and 1t will not sacrifice one prinei-
pie for the sake of another. The Times
is right when 1t says "The people are the
party. and they will have protection. and
will not permit the resurrection of a
dead hope OF free silver"
