"TARIFF REFLECTIoNs.n

Yesterday our morning contemporary
INDUCED in some tariff reflections"
They were reflections" pure and sim
pie, being devoid of fact and argu-
ment. The great advantage of a re
Election" is that it doesn't require any
thing but an imagination to project It,
Here is a reflection from yester-
days article:
We said in a former article that no
tariff could restore general prosperity
to this country because of the condi-
ton of the people, wrought by the sys
tenn of finance that has ruled for a
quarter of a century. At this our neigh
Dor marvels greatly. and calls it a ''re
markable admission"
Here is a reflection" from the
article of Tuesday, which we character
lied as "a remarkable admission"
Then the Tribune pointed out that no
just protective tariff could do any
such thing (restore prosperity, for the
success of a tariff depended upon the
prosperity of a people, and their ability
to purchase foreign goods.
We still regard that as a remarkable
admission, coming from our contem-
porary, for it declares that the success
of tariff depends upon the prosperity
of people instead of the prosperity of
the people depending upon the tariff.
To say that England ever swamped
this country is only reflection"
Our contemporary says we forget
that the Wilson German tariff was
the highest protective tariff ever passed
in the United States except the Dingley
law" That is not reflection" it is
a direct assertion of that which is not
true. Our contemporary asserts that
the Wilson-Gorman customs law of 1894
was higher protective tariff than the
Mckinley customs law of 1890, 1t
would be useless to refute such an as
sertion by citing schedule for schedule
of the two laws, as could very easily
be done, for a paper that will make
such an assertion would assert that
black is white, or anything else.
Our contemporary closes it's article
with this truly remarkable statement
Neither one 1.-THE Wilson-Gorman law
and the Dingley law] represents the
true principle of protection, because be-
hind both was and is financial policy
which violates every principle of both
sense and equity, and the
in both cases was not to steady
the industries of this country, but to
levy tribute from the people, and in
was not and is not any diff |
ferent from the internal war revenue !
law just passed by congress.
There is all the difference in the |
world between the principle of the |
Dingley law and that of the internal |
war revenue law just passed by con- |
gress. The Dingley law permits manu-
facturers and producers of protected |
articles to increase the price to the
purchaser without corresponding in
crease OF revenue to the government.
The internal taxes laid in the war
'evenue law are imposed for the bene-
it of and go to the government; that
is defective in detail doesn't affect the
of it in the least
Our contemporary has not under
axe to deny that the Dingley law was
enacted in pursuance of the Repub-
lean policy of protection as declared
or in the st. Louis platform.

ton in its affairs for the benent of suf-

ton in its affairs for the benefit of suf-
fering humanity.
If the independence of these islands,
any or all of them, results from the
pending conflict. and the people, free
to act for themselves, ask admission to
this union of states, it will be time
enough to consider their claims and the
desirability Of taking them in. But to
annex them by conquest is a very diff
ferent and very dangerous thing to
do
Mr.. Bryan was certainly right when
he said:
History will vindicate the position
taken by the United States in the war
with Spain. In saying this, 1 assume
that the principles which were invoked
in the inauguration of the war viii be
observed in its prosecution and conclu-
sion. If a contest undertaken for the
sake of humanity degenerates into q.
war of conquest we shall find it diff
cult to deny the charge of having added
hypocrisy to greed

.lDear Sir

There is a good deal of common
sense in what the Kansas City Star

says the Star, lit would be great help
if the men who are asked to enlist
could be assured that they will be
placed under the command of exper-
fenced officers. The policy OF granting
army commissions to political strikers
who know absolutely nothing about
the care and protection of men in the
field is not calculated to cause an i'm
petuous rush of volunteers"

Recruiting for the regular army is
proceeding very slowly. Only 1900 Or
1900 regulars have enlisted since the
war began, as compared with some
where about $4,000 volunteers. The
100000 volunteers under the two calls
will soon be supplied, but less than half
of the $4,000 additional regulars needed
under the law passed at the beginning
of the war will be furnished by that
time. All of which shows that Ameri-
cans do not care for military service as
such, but that they are ready to respond
to their country's call for volunteers
at any time.
