MCKISLET's OPEN DOOR POLICY,

The -open door policy for the Phil.
ippines rs outlined by the admlnistra-
ten Is causing Il coed deal OF discus
sion in the newspapers. The Chicago
Inter Ocean, Republican. in descus-
sing this question says:
-Ihe terms are prepos'erous. The
men who put them forward have for
gotten the traditions OF the govern
ment, the principles Of our whole
financial policy, and the final pre-.
rcgative OF Il Republican majority in
the Senate to reject the treaty. or
all the concessions the most objec-
tionab!e is that declaring the open
door or practical free trade in the
Philippines. This is intolcrablc be.
cause it brings the question ~ our
domestic policy into a var treaty and
recognizes the principle OF foreign
meddlng with our system.
The offer Is entirely grntuitous. be-
cause Spain required no such conccs.
sion rs q SIns qua non, and II Is Of
less benefit to her than 10 the COM
mercial rivals OF the United States.
What a farce this offer Of anything
like an open door to the Philippines
must seem to President McKm!ey.
with his lifelong championship OF
protection in mind, and with the Me
hinley bill md the Dlngley law before
him! Ii seems incredible that a
President pledged to "A tariff policy

eH on the executive committee OF the
Indianapolis sound money conventioc
are urging the gold standard news
papers to press the President to call
congress in extra session in March to
fasten the gold standard upon the
Country. Their argument is that il
the question is left open for the win

Presidential election that there would
be great danger OF the country going

1t is practically settled that con.
gress will be convened in March to

great for him To advise against tinan-
cial legislation; besides, he has To
