along and insists that his employe shall have as
good a the man who hires him. He shows
the same consideration to every one. and there isn't
a man about the hotel that isn't glad to do him a
service and that regardless OF a Tip.
The other millionaire. who. II is said. has great
political aspirations. is exactly the reverse He
has secretary. too. but the idea OF nquiring about

CORRECTIVE, NOT DESTRUCTIVE.
New York Tribune.

roder the maligned Dingley act,
,rbich was, as the calamity howlers
,id 70 set all Europe against US,
arbaps with force and arms, treaty
commercial reciprocity has just
an concluded with France, the
,oond commercial nation of the
continent, and within week or two
similar treaty will probably be con-
nrded with Great Britain, the great
at Of all commercial Powers. AS
-,radlv that does not look much
Hke Tariff wars, or European COM
binations against American Protec-
+ion. or any such thing. Nor, in
snjte of the Russian papers intima-
ZION. is it creditaple that there ever
was any serious looking in that di-
rsctton. European nations realize
nerfectly we'll that the Tariff is a
matter for each nation to regulate
according 10 its own interests. They
know. too, that in spite of the fact
that our Protective Tariff is almost
AZ high rs some of theirs, in this
country is still the best market they
have. And they can e, as all who
are not blind can see, that "McKin-
leyism' and "Dingleyism" unfailing-
" mean at once greater Protection
and greater prosperity at home for
this Nation, and freer and greater
trade between it and all other nations
of the world.
As the treaty just made shows, re-
latiouS between the United States
and France are not becoming more
strained but more amicable. But at
the same time it Is more emphati-
callv true that relations with Great
Britain are becoming far more friend
ly. Does it never occur to our Euro
pean friends that this nation stands
apart from and unconcerned in all
the traditional rivalries and animosi-
ties of the Old World? We have no
part in their quarrels. We are ready
to be friendly with both Russia and
Great Britain, and TO boon is good
terms with both France and Ger
many as though there had been no
Terrible Year, and as though Alsace-
Lorraine had never existed. Our
Tariff policy Is Protective, not de-
structive. 1t is intended to build up
American industries, not to break
down those of other lands. And
Europe will find, as indeed she has
found, that the more our people pros
per the better market they will Of
fer for European wares. Not Tariff
wars but reciprocity is the order Of
the day.
