Every now and then some moss
back among democratic editors has
something to say about the pro-
tsctivs tariff. Usually it is a re.
vamping Of the old, old free trade
theory that a protective tariff is a
"Chinese WALL" obstructing our
foreign trade.
These benighted brethren should
study the reports of our foreign
trade. It has mover been so great
as since the enactment of the
Dinghy law. In place Of being a
Chinese wall, it has expanded trade
beyond all previous records. The
dictum of our free trade friends is
utterly wrong. It should be, "Pro-
lection increases the volume of
our foreign trade" That is the
experience Of tho past two and a
half years. It was our experience
under tho Mckinley law. Under
the dsmocrative Wilson tariff our
foreign trade declined.-Toledo
Blade.

War department records show
that orders had been issued to pro-

mote the late Col. Hawkins, of the
10th Pa, regiment, to brigadier
general, and that news of the death
of Col. Hnwkins was the only thing
that prevented the carrying out of
those orders. This effectually dis
poses of tho story that Col. Haw-
kins was not promoted because of
the an;mosity of Gems. Otis and
Greene. His death was the only
cause for his not being promoted.
The industrial commission, cre-
ated by the last congress, has re-

The first general encampment
Of the Spanish-American War
Veterans was opened today, in
Washington, with interesting and
impressive ceremonies, and there
are a considerable number of G.
A. r. men present, Gen. J. War
rem Keifer, of Ohio, president of
the new organization, having sent
out many special invitations to his
comrades of the G.. A. R., to show
that the new organization desired
to be extremely friendly with the
old one. President Mckinley
showed his interest in the encamp-
ment by holding special recep-
ton in honor of the veterans and
their families.
Senator Carter says the future
of the Philippines will be deter
mined by the common sense for
which Americans are famous. To
put the matter in his own words,
"This is a practical age. We are
going to deal with this question
on the basis of dollars and cents.
IL the American people believe
that the Philippines are going to
help us, they will never let the is
lands 60. If, on the other hand,
they find that tho Philippines
mean a constant drain and small
return, you will find the verdict OF
the people to be against perma-
nent retention. I believe that the
possession of the islands means a
great stimulus to trade, especially
for the Pacific coast. Half fhe
population of the globe lives in the
the circle of two thousand miles
around Luzon. I believe that we
are goin to develop this great field
under exceptional advantages.
Neither religion nor sentiment will
have much influence in determin-
ing the verdict. The great ques.
ton will he, will it pay? If we
can show the country that it will,
as I think we can, the American
flag will never come down in the
Phil ppines."
