COMFORT FOR THE ANTIPoDEs.

The Melbourne "Age" of March 13,
1899 prints an extended Letter from
its New York correspondent in which
the great facts of American trade,
commerce and industry are set forth
in a manner calculated to carry much
aid, comfort and encouragement to the
Protectionist party of Australia. The
letter closes as follows
"Americans are now waiting to hear
what the disciples of Golden will say
as to the effect of Protection in check
ing nations prosperity. The Dingley
Tariff is in full and effective operation.
Foreign goods are largely excluded
from American markets, yet the bars
thai shut these gates against the prod
ucts of European mills are not closing
our gates of commerce so tightly but
that American goods can get out and
reach the markets of every country in
Europe. Every Free Trade theory has
been smashed into Il cooked hat by the
experience of the United States in the
year 1898, and, if present indications
can be relied upon the year 1899, bids
fair to break into smithereens any re-
naming fragments that may exist or
the old English theory that Prosperity
| and Protection cannot go hand In hand.
This is truly a bad season in which to
garner any kind of harvest into the
| Golden barn. 1t must, for the present
at least, be given over to the spiders
and their cobwebs.
| In the presence of the tremendous
array of facts presented by the COM
nercial statistics of the United States
for 1898, the first full year of restored
Protection, Free Traders are dumb.
Never before have their theories re-
ceived so bewildering blow. Forced
by the logic of accomplished results TO
abandon their long-cherished sophism
that Protection was fatal to trade eX-
pansion, they are reduced to the pltiful
plea that trusts are creatures OF the
Tariff-which is not true; and that in
dustlies which are able to market their
surplus. in foreign countries are no
longer in need of protection-which the
likely to believe.
The Memphis appeal" falls into the
error of supposing that Edward Atkin-
son. is Protectionist. On the contrary
as the Minneapolis Journal points
out. Mr.. Atkinson has been an out and
out Free-Irader thirty years and has
been a thorn in the flesh of the manu-
facturers who constitute the Home
Market Club ever since ii was organ
lied Mr.. Atkinson's invention of the
coal oil stove and the recipes for meals
for six or seven persons costing 10
cents were discovered in the interest
of Free-1rade to the end that by cheap
living the United States could compete
with Europe without a Protective Tar
lift. AS Protectionists we cannot have

Cumulative Evidence.

Captain Dyer of the cruiser Balti-
more, which sailed next to the Olym-
pia into Manila Bay and played a con-
spicuous part in the doings of that
eyentful day, has recently returned 10
his home in Massachusetts. In an
interview he regarded the situation in
the Philippines as hopeful, and said
"the only thing to be done is for the
army to go in and put down the rebel
lion" On this point he stron.ly con
firmed the judgment of Minister Bar
ret as to certain agency largely
responsible for the rebellion Of the
Filipinos and it's continuance. Speak
ing of the necessity for putting down
the rebellion Captain Dyer said:
The sooner this is done the better, and
this will be done the sooner when you have
put down those people at home who are
giving aid and comfort directly and indi-
rectly to the enemy. That is what it
amounts to- The rebellion would not have
lasted nearly 80 long II it had not been for
the sympathy of these people.
They are doing more harm than they
know. They are deluding the insurgents.
Information Of what is going on at home is
sent to the insurgents at once. They know
it about as quickly as we do, though they
do not know it 80 fully as we do. L mean
that while we know the full significance Of
everything, the insurgents only know it as
it is represented to them.
They do not know the weight that should
properly be attached to acts done here.
They are inclined to sscribe too much i'm
portance to the influence Of the antrim
perialists They are led to believe that all
the acts of the Government are discredited
by the people and that as soon as the peo-
pie get chance to do so they will over
throw the administration. SO the nsurg
ents think that If they hold out for while
longer the present administration will be
overthrown and they will be allowed to do
as they please.

The Belgian system of cumulative
or plural voting, giving man one vote
in right of manhood, another if he is a
father and pays house tax of one dol
lar, and still another if he is univer-
sity graduate and member in good
and regular standing of certain of the
learned professionals priest, lawyer,
doctor, professor, etc.-has the eff
feet nearly to double the vote of the
electorate. At the last election | 1885,
600 voters cast l, 1924 900 votes. These
plural votes constitute the means
through which the Clericals have been
able TO maintain their hold upon polit-
ical power. Their opponents, under
the general name of Liberals, are di-
vided into Liberals, Radicals, Socialists
and other factions, representing vari-
GUS phases of political belief or desire.
The Clericals act as unit, and in
union, in Belgium as elsewhere, there
is strength. The classes to whom but
one vote is given are determined to
wiring the water out of the suffrage law
and bring the priest and the wealthy or
learned Levite to the zone man, one
vote" basis and their brethren in
America wish them God speed, and bid
them keep up the agitation till they
succeed, as succeed they will.

five francs-one dollar per annum
house tax; also to every citizen of vot-
ing age owning real property to the
value of 1000 francs-S400-or who
derived an income Of 100 francs from
an investment in the public debt, or
from the savings bank. Two addition
al votes were given to every citizen
who had received certain diplomas or
discharged certain functions which inn
piled the possession of superior edu-
cation. The same citizen might accu-
mulate votes on more than one of these
qualifications, but none was allowed to
cast more than three.
What the masses want is manhood
suffrage. zone man, one vote" is
their demand. The Clericals have
been able to maintain majority in the
law making body under past and pres
ent systems of voting. The "reform"
of 1898 was negatived by the provision
for plural voting. A like abortive re-
form measure has been before parlia-
ment and is the imme date cause of the
recent outbreaks in Belgium. The peo-
pie are demanding equal suffrage and
will fight if it is not granted. The
Clericals are withholding, because under
equal suffrage political power will pass
from their hands. Quiet will not be
restored to Belgium till this issue is
settled, and settled rightly the con.
cession of suffrage on the English and
American basis.

In the appointment of Colonel Kim
bali of Randolph as trustee of the State
Agricultural College to succeed Sena-
tor Morrill,, a selection has been made
that will receive the COMMUNICATION of
many people who have not always been
able to discover the fitness or propri-

ability, the spirit, the experience, the
love of his State and interest in its best
welfare to render him wise and eff
cient member of the board of trustees.

in THE FAR EAST,

MANILA July 4.-The negotiations
between the Spanish officers and
Aguinaldo concerning the Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the FilipiDos
have resulted in a partial agreement.
According TO unofficial reports the in
surgents have promised to release the
sick soldiers, who number several hun

the church will finally pay heavy

What probability is there that issues
growing out of the war can be made by
the Democratic party in 1900 without
outraging all patriotic sentiment2 Will
the Democracy call on the American
people to surrender the fruits of victory
in WARP Will it put itself in opposition
to human nature itself? The Demo-
cratic party made such an assault in
1854, and for twenty years thereafter it
suffered from the disgrace in exclusion
from the possibility of national power.
1t is not likely to repeat the expert
ment in 1900. The probability rather
is that it will repeat its policy of 1896,
because in that alone will it have an
excuse for organized existence. And
the contest will be er.-New York

Governor Roosevelt has always been
popular among Republicans and since
his flat-footed declaration in favor of
denomination and reelection of Presi-
dent Mckinley, which made it clear
that he properly sized up the attempt
of the Democrats and assistant Demo-
Gratis to use him in their hopeless fight
against President Mckinley, he is more
popular than ever. Level-headedness
is always appreciated by the people.
Republican mention of Roosevelt in
connection with the presidency has al
ways pertained to 1904, never to 1900
as an opponent of Mckinley. Any
statements that Roosevelt will not be a
candidate in 1900 is news that is not
news, like great deal of other stuff
some papers are fond of printing.
