1t is the largest advance made at
any one time in the history of the
Amalcamatcd Association. and it
will make the wages for the year
the highest since 1892.
The highest since 1s92-this Is
an interesting revelation. It seems
that year. when a Republican Pro
tectionist administration was de
feated at the polls, and a Demo
crat administration committed to
Free Trade was chosen, has stood
as the high water mark Of wages
and prosperity in the great iron
and steel industry OF the United
States. With the incoming of
of an anti-Tariff President and an
anti-Taritf Congress began Il de-
cline in business, which has only
Just now been made good by Il re-

Protectionists predicted exactly
this in 1892. They declared then
that q defeat Of the Mckinley
Tariff and Il trial. even a brief
trial, of the tree-Trade experiment
would cost the people dearly. y
ana Iority of the people were deaf
TO this warning thcn-but they
have since seen it verified to the

brought in due time 4 revival OF

THE anti-expansionists seem to
have lost sight entirely of the fact
that the F'ilipinos would never be
permitted to conduct and indepcn-
dent government except under the
protection of great and powerful
nation like the United States, and
it is against any and all protector
ate that AguinaIdo is fighting. For
this country to Withdraw entirely
from the Philippines would not ac-
complish the independence of the
islands unless we stood guard over
them and told the graspjng nations
OF Europe to keep their hand off.
This is the situation, then, that no
freedom can cone to these islands
except under the protecting muz-
z!c5 of American guns. but as long
as those guns remain within tnc
horizon of Ags,inaldo's vision he
will rot feel satisfied. We mast
