measure OF protection about equal 10
a general 10 per cent advance in the
tariff.
Aside from the benefit to the revenue
which would thus accrue, this bill would
not only restore to the United States
the carrying trade on the hlgh seas We
once enjoyed, but enable us to contest
with Great Britain for the supremacy
in the worlds commerce. over a hun
drea million dollars a year are paid to
foreign shipowners for carrying Amerl-
can freights, This sum would come into
the pockets OF the Americans every
year The new vessels would give en-
ployment to thousands OF American
sailors: and American shlphuilding,
once put upon its feet, by the adoption
OF the policy outlined in the Elkins bill,
would maintain itself, as would our
merchant marine.
The free trade theory Is that We
should admit foreign built ships to
American registry--a policy which they

In other words. they wish us to buy our

The New York Post says some Of the
Southern newspapers see trouble ahead
in case Cuba should come into the
Union and be ''one of the United
States" The first result would probably
be one If not two mulatto senators sit
ting alongside Of Morgan and Call, and
whom those high-bOrn Caucasians
would not associate with outside the
chamber. Maceo himself, whom they
are so fond Of praising, and who no
doubt deserved all the praise he re-
eeived. was mulatto. II he were alive
and in Washington today and were to
hold a reception or give dinner party,
no Southern Democratic member of
either house would go to IL. If he did,
he would never be reelected. The con-
dition of affairs in Cuba Libre" would
be such that a considerable portion of
the white population would leave the
island. and the political power Of the
blacks would be correspondingly in
creased. All of them, both whites and
blacks, are religionists of the bigoted
Spanish type. in whose minds religion
and the state are inseparably joined.
Their presence as a part Of our law
making power would be one more ele-
ment Of heterogeneousness, and an ele-
ment especially obnoxious to the South.
We do not wonder that Southern news
papers want TO draw the line between
Cuba Liore and annexation. Let cuba
be free, but don't come any nearer to
the United States

THE BALLApE OF BRAVE MEN.
BY william S. Lord.

BY William S. Lord.
A song for the men so true.
The sailors Of sunken ships.
The sport Of the waves that blew,
Devoured by the waves white lips
There. where the seagull dips.
There. meath the sky so blue.
There. where the schOolboy strips
Brave men. there is rest for you.
A song for the shipwrecked crew,
The men OF the docks and slips.
Propelled by a sail or screw
You made many perilous trips;
With the canvas torn to strips.
Before the gale you flew;
No more the wild wind whips
Brave men. there is rest for you.
A song for the men too few
For nature so few equips-
Who drank that awful brew
That only a brave man sips.
The staunchest OF ships are chips;
No power can the sea subdue.
No longer the cold spray drips-
Brave men. there is rest for you.

The Democratic news papers
should remember that the Repub.
leans insisted that times would
continue bad until protective
tariff laws were enacted. This
year the Democrats had pro.
gram to make times good deal
worse, and it is fortunate for every
interest in tile country that they
did not win. Prosperity will come
with Republican rule, but not
under any free trade laws or free
trade administration.

Hon J. D. Jones will be speaker
of the next house Of Representa-.

the votes OF two.thirds Of the Re.

position will make very poor
showing in the Republican caucus
and then the fight will end. Mr..
Jones is decidedly the best man
for the place.
