Discovers a Relative.

When the expedition that was to go
out to Manila to occupy the land and
take possession in the name of the
United States of America-and Ocean-
ica-was being fitted out the country
was unofficially advised that the de-
partment of state was busily engaged
in preparing a scheme of government
which Gen. Merritt, as governor gen
eral, was to establish. Among the prob
lens presented was the question Of the
tariff to be-laid on merchandise that
might seek a market there, whether,
1t was announced, the goods came from
this or any other country. Occupa-
ton did not of itself work annexation,
and until the latter condition arrived
the land was as foreign to us as to
any other country. This was some
thing of a disappointment to those
manufacturers who had anticipated an
other good outlet and who, under the
Mckinley apothegm, by which it is only
the foreigner who pays the tax, will
have to pay whatever charge is made
for the entry Of their products into
the Philippines.
In pursuing their search for informa-
ton the experts of the department
found the Spanish tariff exacted at
Manila and other ports of the islands
and laid the same before the presi-
dent. We can imagine the mingled
pleasure and dismay which alternated
in the expression of the presidential
face as he ran his eye down the
schedules. He beheld rates after his
own heart and was pleased, and he
discovered that McKinleyism was void
for want of novelty, as the patent law
yers says, and then dismay fitted
across his face. Here was an Amer
lean system" actually in use in Span
ish colony that was fully abreast OF
our own, and, in some features, ahead
of 1t, and antedating it hundreds Of
years. For its pedigree ran back to
Tariff, the Moor, who crossed the
straits eleven hundred years ago and
gave his name to the town of Tarifa,
Spain's southernmost point of land
Strange that McKinleyism had to go
across the Pacific to find a blood
relative.
We do not wonder that it was forth
with anno, need that the Spanish tariff
would he allowed to remain. Dewey

Hispano. Dingley himself might have
made the rates. Fifty cents a ton on
coal; SIG ton on glassware; IS ton
on pig iron, and SIG on steel rails, with
tinplate $50 ton. How the mouths OF
Pennsylvania iron masters will water
as they read these fat rates. Then
come cottons at 10 cents pound; mus
Inns, 20 cents; hosiery, 30 cents,s and
heavier cottOnS for wearing apparel,
rs cents pound. And New England
faces take on a grin of delight. Wooden
garments are not essential there, and
they are rated at only II cents If un-
bleached, or 80 If bleach d, and blankets
are taxed but 20 cents a pound. Our
lumbermen will look with envious eyes
on the tariff of ~ cents a cubic foot
on imports of boards, amounting as it
does to $3.50 thousand feet, while
our farmers will be convinced that not
enough has been done for them in our
tariff when Filipinos are protected by
a tax of cents a pound on pork
meats, Sc a ton on wheat, cents a
pound on beef and cents a pound GA
cheese.
These are but illustrations taken n,
random from the schedules, but they
show plainly that our worthy presidenN
has found tariff after his own heart
in this excursion to Manila, and Nc
Kinleyism has found a dear if hitherto
unknown relative. The inevitable re-
suit will be. must be, the permanent
retention of those Islands. 1t will never
do to let that tariff get away.
