LAwLEss ADMINISTRATIONS AG gNrs

LAwLEsS ADMINISTRATION AG ENTS,
Roosevelt was one of the pioneers of
civil service reform, but as an instance
Of how the mighty Teddy has fallen and
how deep he has plunged from his erst-
while high moral pedestal into the
slough of corrupt politics, we have only
to take his supine Indifference during
his spectacular tour of Ohio in the in
terests of Hanna and imperialism to the
outrageous and wide-open violations of
the civil service law by the Republican
campaign nagers-violations of law
so fragrant so as to have aroused the
usually quiescent civil service commits
sion to action.
Hanna's circulars calling on federal
officials throughout the country to help
out the administration in its Ohio fight
are held to be direct and aggravated
violation of the act of Congress. But
of course Boss Hanna is too high and
mighty to be punished for law break
ing as an ordinary citizen certainly
would be. His tool, Chairman Dick,
however, stands a fair show of being
prosecuted and getting into a hole
which it will take all his pull to get
out cf

ering this appeal to offer to mediate
between Great Britain and the South
African Republic
Emperor William I. has the best of
reasons for ignoring this petition,
which would have appealed strongly to
any Of his predecessors in the presi-
Dental Office, for he knows only
too well that he is in no position to
offer such good Office In this case; that
he could do so only with wretched lack
OF grace and would only be laughed at
for his pains by the British. for, lol is
not the government of the United
, States, the greatest republic on the face
OF the earth, in Asiatic waters in the
Philippines archipelago, itself, engaged
in precisely the same sort of work, the
same scheme of imperialism, of piracy
and plumber of weaker people, that
the English are engaged in in South
Africa? In the one case England is
trying to rob the Beers of control of
precious gold and diamond mines, and
10 this end she is trying to over
throw the Boer Republic; in the
other case the President at Washing
ton, to grab an archipelago in order
that certain speculative millionaire
friends of his administration may
make more millions, is endeavoring to
overthrow the independent govern
ment of the Filipinos already estab-
lished in the islands and officially rec
ognized at the outset by his own chief
representative there, Admiral Dewey!
No wonder there is so much talk of
an Anglo-American alliance Already
such an alliance exists to all practical
intents and purposes. The powers that
be in London and Washington are in
the same boat with the flag of imperial
conquest flying at the masthead.
1t was a sorry, sorry day when
such became the fact, for this great
nation which heretofore has stood
among the nations of the earth for
human liberty and righteous govern
ment of, by and for the people, and
based upon the principles of Christian
ity, can, under this administration, at
least, no longer claim that moral su-
periority, which all nations hereto
fore recognized, and which gave to
our every utterance special weight and
force in international affairs.
When Mr. Mckinley put behind him
the principles of the Declaration of IN
dependence and trampled upon the free
institutions and fundamental law be-
queathed to us by the fathers of the
Republic, he put back this nations
progress in free government hundreds
Of years and descended at once to the
medieval principle that might is the
only international law. This is really
the only law recognized among the
military nations to-day, notwithstand-
ing the much heralded peace confer
ence," and to-day this principle is the
only one guiding Mr.. Mckinley in his
war of conquest in the Philippines.
Verify the London Standard knows
not whereof it speaks. So far is Mr..
Mckinley from interfering with Great
Britian's scheme of conquest and
plumber against our sister Republic in
South Africa, by offering mediation,
that he is with the piratical British
hand and heart 1t is a situation cal
culated to make fair Columbia weep
tears of shame and cut the American
conscience to the quick.

American market because their mon
I u i natural one; put it is clear
.at it would be a most effective RENEE
in the cases of nine-tenths of the
trusts that exist to-day, which are
4 .riff-bred and tariff-fostered.
Almost any of our great industrial
combines will serve as an example.
Take the window glass trust for in
stance. This ancient Infant" industry
has had 100 per cent. protection" for
long. long time With what result?
The American consumer is paying more
for window glass now than was paid
forty years ago. A box Of ordinary
10x14 glass which sold for s2.40 in
/ 1860, under the latest boost of the trust
now sells tr s2.75. The same glass
in Belgium or England is sold for S1.30.
Take away the tariff protection" be-
hind which this trust garrotes the
American consumer or window glass,
! and this combine would be forced
to come down in its prices, unless it
could form worldwide combine with
European manufacturers, which would
scarcely be feasible.
This is but one instance taken at
random from scores of similar examples
Of trust plumber and extortion upon
the American consumer and upon other
lines of American industry dependent
upon its product.
In every instance these trusts could
be largely nullified or rendered inef-
fective by removing their tariff pro
lection"
Why waste further time in spinning
out theories of combating the trust
evil through the courts in which the
trusts have the whip-handle, when the
people have the most simple, potent
and easiest applied remedy right with
in their grasp-the removal of the
trusts tariff protection"

A Democratic President of the Unit
ed States would not have ignored Pc
tition from the friends of liberty to
offer his services as mediator between
England and our sister Republic in the
Transvaal, because a Democratic Pres
ident of the United States would not
have been tarred with the English
imperial stick.

Early news by mail from the Trans
vaal under date of a month ago, shows
that the Beers entered upon this war
with the fullest confidence of defeat
ing the British forces, and long ago
had outlined new and much broader
and more comprehensive South African
Confederation to be organized at the
close Of hostilities. Despite the British
censorship of news nothing seems to
have occurred to dispel their conf
dence and all the world outside of
England will wish the Beers godspeed
in their magnificent defense of their
rights and liberties.

nation came from an apparently trust
worthy source.
