banner waved continuously by
Harper's Weekly and similar

fiOuriShed in the Cuban matter,
and when Hawaiian annexation
comes up it's folds are recognized
in the statement that Hawaii will
keep the United States in hot

the Venezuela affair was ut the

Republican managers TO a realiz-
alton that the Bryan cause mus
tered a healthy minority, which
under better leadership could be
changed TO a majority. Had the
new Democracy been Il little less
radical and possessed less of the
bulI-in-th e-china-shOp character,
they would have enlisted the sup
port of the antitrust element and
carried the day. Whether the fin
ancial question will remain Il
matter for politicians to conjure
with depends very much upon Me
Kinley's administration but the
antitrust men. income tax advO-
Gates and solid. sober. earnest
thinkers who believe the time has
come when monopolies should be
under more complete control of
the government. and that the cap
italists should pay IL larger pro
portion of the state and national
expense. these refOrmerS are not
liable TO see legislation in the
next four years which will en-
tirely meet their approval. The
influence of this anti-mOnOpOly
power is being felt TO such an
extent that either Il new party
will be found or the course of on"
of the two great parties will be
shaped to meet its demands.
The Populist policy of Bryan
ism is too radical. too crack brain
ed; the Republican policy clings
too closely 10 the system OF every
man for himself. In the last cleo
ton the men who held the de
cisive vote chose the least of what
they considered many evils. In the
State of Michigan, however, Pin
gree built up policy of his own
which contained some of the radi-
cal features of Organism and yet
enough of the conservative tonic
of McKinleyism TO prevent it's be-
ing classed as dangerous. Pin
gree's plurality of $4,000 as com
pared with McKinley's plurality
of $4,000 in Michigan speaks not
only for Pingree's personal pOpu-
larity. but also gives a most sug
gestive hint as to the popularity
of the Pingree methods of dealing
with the money power. The pres
ent Governor of Michigan seems
to be IL man who recognizes the
rights of the people and goes
about to secure those rights with
out using the methods of Il dema-
gOgue, or proposing destructive
measures that threaten establish
ed political institutions of his
country. Such a man will be need
ed in the United States as Il ma
tiOnal leader before many years.

AN EXCELLENT UNDERTAKING.

Whether or not Hackfeld y Co.
bring German labor TO the new
mammoth plantation on this isl
and as an economic experiment,
or bring them in because ii is
good politics, is of little cOnse-
quence. The impressive fact re
mains that this great, responsible
firm, which has done and is now
doing so much to develop the re-
sources of the Islands, is willing
to consider the value of natiOnali-
ties in our political matters.
The intelligent Germans who
settle in foreign countries have
the reputation, as a rule, of put
ting themselves in line with the
best political and social interests
of those countries, and they be
come the best friends of good gov
eminent. without regard TO the
traditions which they have in
herited.
The American COnsuls, in their
many commercial reports To the
State department in Washington,
constantly refer to the growing
strength of the German merch-
ants in their competition with
British merchants, even on Brit
ish colonial soil. Only within a
few years has there been an eX-
tensive emigration of German
merchants, and they become seri-
Gus competitors in trade by rea-
son of their economical methods
and better adaptability to exotic
life. Heine said the Germans are
a "most convertible race" While
they have not proved to be the
magnificent cOlOnizers which the
Britons are, owing to their larger
experience, they have steadily en-
crOached on British commerce in
all foreign countries.
The importation of German la
borers by this conservative firm
may be done purely on selfish
grounds. If so. it is that kind Of
intelligent selfishness which is an
enormous force in all progress,
and incidentalE brings out great
good. 1t is men and not machines
which make laws. 1t is the inevi-
table tendency in these latter days
for all men in community, and
not few men, to make the laws,
because men will not obey laws
which they have not made, unless
a bayOnet is behind the law. And
therefore merchants who are help
ing themselves and at the same
time are introducing good citizens
into the country are doing the
most valuable political work.
Very few men have brains
enough to see that the duties of a
merchant and Il planter are quite
alike; but of several millions of
business houses in America and
Europe a few score only have
avoided the friction between cap
ital and labor by stuffing lots of
missionary business" into COM
mercial affairs. Crowds of com
mon manufacturers gaze at these
successful experimenters as the
boys look at the monkey and the
organ. These progressive men
fear no strikes, make money, build
up communities and buy out the
men who work on narrow lines.
They make the labOrer an ally.
