The frequent complaints of natural
ized citizens of the United States about
the treatment accorded them by their
old governments often admits question
as to their real standing as citizens of
this country; for, if they simply took out
the necessary papers, without actually
becoming citizens. except on paper,
there is no good reason why the United
States should take up their quarrels
and send a fighting admiral with blood
in his eye to demand satisfaction.

The London Times is evidently using
its thunder to the best purpose. At the

REPUBLICAN CRITICISM OF THE
DINGLFY BILL

The same excessive zeal for protection
Is manifested in the proposed duty on
paintings, statuary and other works IN
opposition to the sentiment and wishes
of the majority of Americans who are
interested in art as an intellectual pleas
ure. Intelligent protectionists have no
sympathy with the narrow and unrea-
sonabse spirit which dictates such legis-
lation. So far as revenue is concerned
the amount IS too small, and can be OBJ
tained readily enough from other
sources, to justify tariff that would
lessen the opportunity to acquire what
is most useful in the education and the
fine arts of Europe or the rest Of the
world-Philadelphia Bulletin.
The light given by the lamp Of expert
ence Is a pretty safe light to walk by.
Here are good Repubhcans-as good as
any to be found anywhere-dissatls
fed, rightly or wrongly. with certain
features of the tariff bill reported to the
house last week. Here are good Re-
publican newspapers pointing out what
they consider patent defects and blem-
ishes in It,. If the light given by the lamp
of experience reveals anything, IT Is
that prevention Is easier and cheaper
than cure, that hindsight is a mighty
poor substitute for foresight, and that

The New York Tribune is the leading
Republican newspaper of the east, IL
not of the whole country, and 1t has al
ways been a stalwart upholder of pro-
lection. When the Tribune finds fault
with the new tariff bill on any point, Mr..
Dingley may be sure that there is a bad
bemish in his measure on that point.
Reversing the familiar saying about
praise from Sir Hubert Stanley, we can
safely assert that condemnation of pro-
tective tariff tax by the Tribune is con-
demnation indeed.-Boston Herald.
A duty on wool is right. for If any pro-
ductive industry Ss entitled to protection
wool has claims among the first. But
a moderate duty on wool is more likely
to be permanent than high duty, and
the rates fixed by the Dingley bill.
though favorable to our wool growers,
are above a scale that can be perma-
nently maintained. This injudicious
policy will beget opposition very likely
ito result in free admission Of wool again.
The pendulum swings from one extreme
to the other.-Portland Oregonian.
The criticisms on the Dingley tariff bill
|now appearing in many Republican pa

senate The rates fixed by the house bill
are indefensible. They do not represent
protection as understood by it's rational
