SONS OF GREAT MEN.

Colonel Fred D. Grant is not receiV-
ing much sympathy because he did not
get the Austrian mission. On the con-
his letter declining the appointment as
assistant secretary of war are rather
severe upon him: do not regard him as
great as his father. Thus one paper
says that the coloneIs language de-
Ginning the appointment implies that
he is laboring under the delusion that
he has hereditary or some other form
of claim to any office he may covet,
and that the president is under some
special obligation to humor his fancy
when as a matter of fact he has re-
ceived as much consideration from the
president as he deserves. OF that there
is no question. 1t was his parentage
and not his ability that procured him
the German mission. He filed the
place no better, no worse, than mill
lion other men would have filled it, but
he is in no sense the peer of DR.. An
drew D. White, who goes to Berlin.
There is no question that there is
tendency among the American people
TO make office holding hereditary in the
families of those who have achieved
fame in public office. It is largely the
result of a maudlin sentiment that
there is fitness of things, a poetic JUS
tice in making the son of a distin-
guished father his heir in all things.
That is the sentiment back of the adj
vancement of Colonel Grant; that is
the sentiment that lauds President Nc
Kinley because he gave a cadetship to
the son of General Phil Sheridan; that
is the sentiment that made it possible
for a son of Fitzhugh Lee to be sent
back to West Point after he had been
found" It is the same sentiment that
in the middle ages made the successful
warrior or freebooter leader, then
count, with a right over his villains
and liegemen. 1t was the prowess of
the ancestor that instituted the theory
and practice of primogeniture. Expert
how pernicious was the practice. Yet
there are plenty of people in the United
States who still give a partial al
legiance to the theory and endeavor to
put it in practice when they can. 1t is
the foundation of the claims of the
sons of Americas great men to political
preferment: and it is about all the
claim most of them have on the people, /

a tax on what it cannot produce, and
the latter on what it can produce. Put
if, as this writer is convinced says
the Tribune, when a duty paying i'm
port has to meet the competition of q
domestic product. the duty is paid not
by the consumer but by the foreign
producer or importer, there is q vast.
difference between them. II this lat
ter hypothesis be true. the exporters Of
Great Britain are contributing enor-
nous sums 10 the revenues Of other
countries, which contribute little or
nothing in return to British revenues"
How particular our New York con-
temporary is to premise its adhesion
to this theory with an IF" If this
latter hypothesis be true" Thereby
hangs a tale. It is the whole question.
If the foreigner pays the tax no Amer
lean in the world is going to object
But how adroitly the Tribune Puts the
case as made out by the ''canny Scot"
A careless reader would get the impress
sion that it endorses what he says. But
it does not in reality. It says:
This writer has challenged the Cob
den club to diSprONe the correctness VI
his argument, but that discreet body
mas declined the undertaking. Failing
that he has conducted extensive inqui-
ries. among British merchants. He has
asked representative exporters IN the
chief manufacturing districts whether
they or the foreign consumers paid the
duties levied by foreign countries upon
their goods. OF 531 thus asked, $50 re-
piled that they, the British manufac-
turers ard exporters. had to pay them;
and only one replied. the foreign con-
sumers, And that on. solitary answer
came from the English branch house
of an American bicycle factory, and
was coupled with the remark: You
Britishers are the biggest fools in the
world Why don't you put on tarliis
The $50 manufacturers who declared
that they, and not the foreign consum-
ers, had to pay the tariff, included lead
ing firms in the cotton, wool. silk, iron,
cutlery and a dozen or more other i'm
portant trades.
Those $50 British manufacturers
should have their names published, for
when they die they will be entitled to
sepulture in Westminster Abbey. So
distinguished an authority as Alexan-
der Hamilton declared that the con-
sumner paid the tax. And we know

from this same Great Britain where the

made him pay the tax over again.

BIMETALLIsM AND PROTECTION

'Bimetallism and protection natu-
rally go hand in hand. They work best
in company. If both could be had dur
ing the next three years. the one by
international agreement and the other
with reciprocal adiuncts, not even the
prosperity Of the British empire could
match that which, in the United States.
would then receive its impelling
forces, says tho San Francisco Chror-
icle. How strange it is that the party
OF protection did not so declare when
it was assembled in national conven-
ton at St. Louis last year. It took
particular pains to declare for plenty
Of protection in the platform it put
forth on that occasion, and it was
equally particular to declare against
the free, unlimited and Independent
coinage of silver. 1t said it wanted no
free silver without international agree
:,lent- But it made no declaration that
it would have no protection unless by
international agreement This could not
have been because of an oversight.
Now, if bimetallism and protection nat
urally go hand in hand, why did the
Republican national convention handi-
cap bimetallism with the condition of
an international agreement while no
handicap whatever was placed upon
protection?
The Chronicle says that if bimetal-
lism and protection could be had dur
ing the next three years. the one by
international agreement and the other
with reciprocal adjuncts, not even the
prosperity of the British empire could
match that which, in the United States,
would then receive its impelling force.
That very declaration is a reflection
Of the assertion that bimetallism and
protection naturally go hand in hand.
It is tantamount to saying that they
go hand in hand with international
permission.
If bimetallism is a good thing. which
it undoubtedly is, it requires no inter-
national agreement for this country TO
adopt it with safety and benefit. And
if bimetallism and protection naturally
go hand in hand, why does the Repub-
lican party adopt a policy that forbids
them TO go hand in hand?

Philip Hamilton, son of Alexander

WHO PAYS THE TAX?

Whenever it is proposed to place a
particularly iniquitous tax uron for
eign goods imported into the country
the protecticnist papers start discus
sion oe that old but never-exhausted
question, Who pays the tax? And they
always find that the foreigner pays the
tax.
The New York Tribune has taken
up the question and discusses it at con-
siderable length, chiefly as a restate-
mept Of an article by "a canny Scot"
writing in the st. James Gazette 1t
says this writer gets pretty close. to the
heart of the 'tariff-is-a-tax'' question.
The Tribune says that the "canny
Scot" reminds his readers of the essen
tial difference between free trade Great
Britain and protectionist countries.
This difference is that the former leyies

Very Rev. DIR. Thomas J. Conaty, rec
tor of the Catholic university at Wash
ington, lectured in Baltimore the other
day on THE Ideal American" Among
other things the doctor said: I'VE, who
have been reared in an atmosphere of
personal liberty in this God-favored
land of ours, are liable to lose sight at
times of the great dignity of our citi-
zenship. Every nation has it's ma
tional idea. With the Hebrews, it was
faith; with the Romans, government;
with Greece, art. The American ma
tional idea is liberty in the individual
man. The first cannon boom of the rev.
olution proclaimed to the world that a
new nation had been established. not
on wealth or class, but on manhood.
There have been republics before us.
and there have been glorious efforts
for human liberty. but our republic was
the first to build upon honest manhood.
This is our character and our purpose,
and this demands a responsibility
which is not located in senate or leg
islature, but in the individual upon
whom representative government is
built. The basis of our security is the
honest public opinion of enlightened
citizenship. How faithfully, generously
the people have executed this trust
Who, then. is the ideal Ameri-
can? A man of faith and dutv, de-
Tending liberty for himself and others,
neither tyrant nor slave, but a citizen
of the best republic under the sun; a
man who trusts others as he would be
trusted, a man who protects the con-
science of the Individual as he values
his own, who questions no mans 10y
atty, but by the sacrifices he makes for
liberty; who regards neither race nor
creed nor color. but only the nobility
Of individual manhood which makes all
races, all creeds and all colors one COM
mon brotherhood: who judges mems
actions and not their motives, and finds
in no servant of God an enemy to the
state" That last paragraph will re-
ceive the Endorsement of all who love
America and her institutions There is
always a danger that one citizen will
deem his rights greater than anothers,
when respect for that others right is
the true test Of liberty
