SHAPING MANIFEST DESTINY

Powerful influences are operating t
force the Republican party into an atti.
tude favorable to territorial aggrand re.
ment, and little risk is involved in proph.
esying that in the state conventions OIL
the party yet to be held the imperialist:
will have little difficulty in shaping its
policy in that direction. The platforms
thus far adopted by the Republicans ara
prudently guarded, but there is no mis-
taking the drift Of sentiment toward bold
avowals of the purpose of the party, If
it shall be continued in power, of holding
yet wrested from Spain.
Lust of conquest is one of the influences
at work. The acknowledged necessity
of new issues, upon which to go to the
people next fall and in 1899, is another. A
revival of interest in the money question
is felt to be dangerous to continued Re-
publican ascendency. 1t must be over
Swallowed by the injection into the cam
paigns of problems which it is hoped to
persuade the masses are more important
and far-reaching in their significance
General Grosvenor struck a popular
chord when. in the convention of the Re
publicans of the presidents own state,
he declared, ard was cheered to the echo
before concluding, that Il doubt much
whether you and 1 will live to see the
day when, by the order of Republican
administraton-and surely not by the
order of McKinley's ADMINISTRATION
the starry banner of your country's glory
shall be pulled down from any flagstaff
where conquest of arms hos placed it,
The conquest of arms has already placed
the starry banner on the soil of Cuba, the
Philippines and the Ladrones and prom
ises soon to place it upon the soil of
Porto Rico. The admnistra ton policy
contemplates not only the conquest of that
island, but the placing of the starry ban
er upon the Iberian peninsula itself. And
when once placed, we are assure by this
mouthpiece of the president it will never
be hauled down by order of Republican
administration.
1t is not too much to assume that the
Ohio idea will rapidly spread to the other
states, and that before snow flies the
party will be in pretty general alignment
with Grosvenor's expansive program. |
Nothing short of the defeat of Hawaiian |
annexation at this session of congress-
very improbable event-wll check the |
growth of the new expansive idea. The I
success of that schem will be tantamount
10 a throwing down of the bars. 1t will
give to the ambitious undertaking of the
lingo element of the Republican party
an impetus that will be simply resst-
ible This sudden conversion of men like
Cha uncey M. Depew and Steve Elkins
points all too unerringly to the fascina-
ton which the scheme will have for
the rank and file of the party of great
moral ideas.
The boldness of the demands of Repub-
lican organs, like the Chicago Inter Ocean,
that this war be entered upon as the only
alternative of a triumph for silver this
fall, measures the desperation of the
leaders. and the perils to the future peace
Of the country which they are willing to
encounter, as the price of continued DOM
nance.

PALPABLE DECEIT

The tariff is not at this moment in
issue. If it were, fewer difficulties might
be experienced than ever before in DEM

nent by increasing duties to the prohibit
tive point, for in the fiscal exhibit for the
year ended last Thursday we have cumu-
lative evidence of the utter failure of the
Dingley law to meet the ordinary expenses
Of administration. even when supple
mented with abnormal receipts from in
ternal taxation.
With their proverbial capacity for mis-
representation, however, the protection
organs are employing the results to ac-
centuate the triumph of Dingleyism.
Here is an illustration from the Cincin-
natl Commercial-Tribu which declares
that, thanks to the Dingley law" ex-
ports in the first nine months Of its oper-
alton increased 80 OOOO while there was
ports! The increased exports were &C.
casioned by famine abroad and an extra
ordinary demand for American bread
stuffs, as every well-informed person is
aware, and was no more influenced by the
Dingley tariff law than by the civil SER
vice law. The Dingley law made no
new market for a single bushel of wheat
or barrel of pork, hut on the other hand
shut those products out from some of the
old and much valued markets. Exports
Of breadstuffs could have been neither
increased nor diminished by any tariff law
that might be on the statute. books, so
long as no export duty obtained. And
for explanation of the decreased imports

to point to the professions of
Dingley himself, volunteered from
time to time during the first
six months life of his law, to account
for the growing deficit. In and out of
congress his plea was that foreign manu-
facturers, in anticipation of higher du-
ties, had flooded the country with their
goods, and thus cheated the government
of the enhanced duties provided by his
law. To so early put in a claim that
decreased imports was due to the virtues
Of the new schedules is characteristic
ally false and misleading. But If ad-
mitted, does it not accentuate the alb
surdty of expecting revenues from legis-
lation that discourages the importation
of dutiable articles, and, in some cases,
at least, prohibits them from entering the
ports OF the country altogether?
With the same reckless disregard for
the truth of history this journalistic apos-
tie OF exaggerated tariff schedule adds !:
From large deficit bequeathed by the
Cleveland administration the treasury
