FLORIDA WANTS PROTECTION.

The Florida Legislature has adopted
memorial 10 Congress asking that an i'm
port duty be placed upon Egyptian cot
ton for the protection Of Southern plan
ters The memorial goes on to say that
"the indisputable cause for our low
prices, financial depression and agricul-
tural discomfort IS found i'm the annual
increasing importation Of Egyptian cot
ton, the product of pauper labor
This memorial flies in the face OF a
great Democratic principle. 1t demands
Republican protection, pure and simple
1t is a proposition to. levy tax on Egyp-
tian cotton. not for the purpose of rails
ing revenue but 10 prohibit competition
The Democratic members Of the Florida
LEGISLATURE have thus committed them
selves 10 Mckinley protection, and they
cannot consistently hereafter fight the
tarin law for which the Republicans are
responsible.
But there is another question involved
This is not only bad politics, but we be-
ltNf tllaA Al - boA lbAlNF Abi INC pbLti4-
ern people. We believe I'm the theory ad-
vanced by MI D. a. Thompkins TO which
we have several times alluded that the
great hope Of the South is in cheap raw
cotton. The markets of the world are
now open 10 u.s. and IT is entirely posi-
bic for the South 10 manufacture every
pound of raw cotton that is now produc-
cd on the southern plantations, possibly
twice as much. and yet find a ready de-
mand for every yard Of cloth turned out
But If by a protective tariff the price of
Southern cotton is advanced and the
southern manufactures are made to pay
more for their cotton than outside manu-
facturers are made 10 pay for the raw
material. clearly the Southern manufac-
turers cannot compete with the cotton
mills OF England.
This brings as back to the original
contention OF The Times that it is better
to- let the natural laws of trade have
their way and meet them and conform TO
them than TO attempt to interfere with
them by artificial legislation.

when they have read in these columns
that the tendency OF the Chicago Demo-
cracy was towards socialism. and they
laughed again when we said that the iogi-
cal conclusion OF this proposed war on
trusts is complete socialism. But we
apprehend that this laugh will soon par
take OF the nature OF a sickly smile. so
cialsts were never encouraged and rallied
as they have been OF late. The elections
in several Of the cities Of the West were
conducted upon a platform demanding
municipal ownership OF public utiliueS'
and il Is now contended by men VINO
have never been known as Socialists
that II municipal ownership Is good
state and national ownership IS better.

that the only remedy against trusts is

AN UNNECESSARY OBSTACLE,

The withdrawal Of the application Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio and Richmond
Petersburg and Carolina railroads for the
franchise 10 enter the city and construct
a station and depot last night from the
Committee was because the Committee re-
ouired the railroads 10 furnish complete
plans with the designs OF building Of de-
pots and sheds. This action Of the Com
mittee made a demand which the rail-
roads were unable TO comply with, and
any man who has ever undertaken 10
construct buildings Of any magnitude
knows that complete plans could not be
presented except after months of study.
and then BE liable TO alteration up 10 the
last moment II has been our observa-
ton that where a limited time was ale
lowed for the construction Of expensive
buildings for any definite purpose, that
II has always been the part of prudence
10 devote q majority of that time 10 the
preparation Of plans. IT Is not unreason-
able for the Committee to require a gem
eral outline OF dimensions, but the terms
OF their resolution required that the plans
should be complete. which the railroads
would probably be unable 10 do within
the next six months. whereas upon a gem
eral lay out OF the scheme many Of the
approaches could be designed and worked
upon and contracts made for the mate
rial subject 10 such modification as the
development Of the plans might demand
1t seems TO us that there was a misap-
prehension of the situation by the Com
mittee. and that their reasonable de-
mands would easily be acceded 10 by the
railroads, who seem now 20 exhibit
most earnest purpose 20 construct what
the people really want
We hope that the Committee and the
railroad people will take an early OPP
poriunity TO come 10 understanding of
each other, and We are sure this viii be
accomplished boy very simple explana-
ton of what IS wanted by the Committee
and what the railroads are able to prom
ise.

TILE AEERONTED EMPEROR.

IT is 50 surprising to be almost ridicu-
lous in the eyes OF our people that the
German Emperor should have instructed
the German Ambassador to this country
to make a personal protest against the
action I'm New York at a social entertain
ment of Captain Coghlan, in concerning
the bad relations between the German
admiral at Manila during the Spanish
war and Admiral Dewey.
Captain Coghlan was speaking at a pri-
vate dinner party. and had no idea that
his remarks would get into the news
papers. Under the circumstances, It was
a blunder for him TO have spoken as he
did but he simply repeated an old story,
and no harm was intended. 1t would
have been much better In view Of the
friendship between the two countries had
the German Government passed the tri-
fling incident by with a smile.
The most serious part Of Captain Cogh-
lan's offence I'm the German Emperor's
view seems to have been a few verses OF
doggorel that he recited that were COM
posed by an officer Of our marines at
Manila. They are intensely numerous,
| and intended 10 illustrate the idea that
the German Emperor considers himself
and the Almighty in a very close al
lance. which accomplishes considerable
things when no consents TO the Al
mighty's action in every particular case.
They are blasphemous and If Captain
Coghlan is as devout as our good sailors
should be- he ought TO be very careful
how he repeats the poem.
But the incident Is another illustration
Of the individual turn OF the Emperor's
mind. In his mind he is really the state,
and what concerns him personally Is what
most intimately and nearly concerns the
German people. An ahront 20 Emperor
william is an affront TO Germany, and
any disparagement of the individual vii
liam Hohenzollern is a disparagement Of
the German people.
That was the theory in the world three
of four hundred years ago, when kings
claimed to me the yicegerents Of God and
to rule by Divine appointment. But the
liberation Of thought has assigned kings
the same place as IS held by any other
embodiment Of flesh and blood, and the
king is no more a sacred thing now than
the humbest toilcr in his dominion. Ger
many must be treated with all possible
consideration in this matter, but our
administration must be careful to let
Emperor William understand that as a
man he counts no more with Americans
than any other man.
