In the discussion of this matter the dan
gers to American industries and interests
have been thoroughly considered, but not
enough attention has been paid to the in
jury with which the Filipinos are threat
ened.
To extend the Dingley law to the islands
would, to cite for example a single i'm
portant item, increase the duty on rice
uhe F1lipino's breaO a thousand per
cent over the Spanish rate. 1t would work
disaster, discomfort and probable riots in
the northern and central Philippines and
certain bloodshed in Moroland, whose peo-
pie, unaccustomed to taxation, were worked
up almost to the point of revolt by our at
tempt to collect the comparatively light
duties exacted by the Spanish law in Luz
zon and the Visayan Islands.
Under the treaty ceding Louisiana at the
beginning of the century and under the
first congressional legislation concerning
Hawaii at the century's end the duties to
be paid in these possessions were not uni
form with those exacted in the United
States. If the uniformity provision of the
Constitution did not apply to this territory
of the United States from the moment of
annexation, it does not apply to the Phil
ippines. If Congress could specifically au-
thorize the collection Of Hawaiian duties in
Hawaii instead of the rates imposed by
the Dingley law and could continue these
non-uniform rates until 1t was ready In its
wisdom to extend the American tariff with
an organized territorial government to
these islands, then the same course may
constitutionally be pursued in respect to
the Philippines. And for this considerable
treatment petitioning Filipinos should ever
pray.
Full national citizenship would be bur-
den upon the mass of Filipinos. and confer

SimOn's Hotel Burned.

The second disastrous fire with
in three months occurred at Abita
Springs, about la O'Clock last Fri
dhy night, resulting in the total
destruction of the well-xnown and
popular Simon's Hotel. The fire
broke out in the rooms over the
bath room annex, and in two hours
the hotel was IN ashes, The origin
of the FIRE is . mystery. There
was considerable excitement among
the guests when the fire was dis
covered, but they managed to es.
cape with all their effects. The
loss will be keenly felt at the
Springs, as il was one of the best
known hotels in this section OF the
State. The citizens responded to
the alarm of fire and worked hero
ically. but their efforts were in
vain. Some of the furniture IN
the main building, including two
pianos, was saved. The hotel was
owned by Mn. F. johnson, and
included besides the main building
four annexes. Ii is too late to re-
build it in time for the summer
season, The loss is estimated at
$50, 900, partially insured.

Uniting on Bryan.

The n. Y. Journal of March Z
contains the following:
Willis J. Abbot, who lie chief of
the literary bureau of the National
Democratic Committee in Chicago,
passed through New York yester-
day on his way home after paying
. visit to David b. Hill. TO .
Journal reporter at the Hoffman
House last night, Mr.. Abbot said:
"My visit to ex-governor Hill
was partially for the purpose of
obtaining some legal advice. We
are old friends, aud there is scarcely
= man in the world for whom /
have higher regard than Mr.. Hill.
What he said about politics l re-
gard as confidential and cannot
disclose. But ~ a result of the
interview / do not hesitate to say
most emphatically that I am con-
WINGED that not only is Mr.. Hr. Hill
not opposed to the Chicago plat
form and Mr.. Bryan, but further,
in the case of Bryan's nomination
he would do all in his power to as
sist in his election
Speaking of Democratic Presi-
dental prospects in the West, Mr..
Abbot said:
"The element of . gold Democ-
racy opposed to tho Chicago plat
form will not enter into the cam.
palgn At all this year. There will
be no successors to Palmer and
Buckner. The brains of that move
ment in the last campaign was John
r. Hopkins, former Mayor of Chi
caxo, who was then unrelenting in
his opposition to William ]. Bryan.
Mr.. Hopkins is to-day one of the
most ardent of Bryan's supporters.
He will undoubtedly be . delegate
to the National Convention. and
will probably make one Of the
speeches nominating Bryan for the
Presidency"

Election Note.

The following letter was received
too late for publication last week !:
Vaudeville, April Is, 1900.
Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
The election Tuesday passed
of quietly. The first voter at the
polls was . great white roster, that
crowed loudly, indicative that De-
mocracy was the ticket, and De-
mocracy would win. The defeat Of
Don Caffery, Jr., was no surprise
to our Democratic pretty little town.
for Mr.. Caffery's campaign wes
one OF such continued abuse and
insults, not likely to win the good
will of any true man. His defeat
must have struck = blow to the
father, Senator Caffery, who the
writer always compared to "Monte
Christie" in "The World is Mine"
He believed the world was his. but
the small number Of votes in his
sons favor must convince him DIFF
ferently. It was an answer to .
petition, for the women Of st. Mary
Parish, his home, joined hands in
prayer across the broad waters Of
Lake P0ntchartrain. II was not

cision from Him, sin the Courthose

heartiest congratulations Of our

Sayings Of Bryan.

Among the ;erse things said by
Mr.. Bryan in his address at Sberve-
port were these:
"No king on earth would have
the unlimited power of the Presi-
dent, if the people approve the
Porto Rican tariff bill"
"1'he Republican party is bor-
rowing from England all that is
bad, but will not take the income
tax, which is good"
.sIf the people do not get the
trust question in their heads, they
will get it In their necks."
"1'he plea of destiny is the plea
Of cowardice."
ssNo nation is strong enough 10
be wrong"
"Admiral Dewey should be made
to correspond with Lafayette and
not with Lord Give"
"Conqucst means not destiny,
but covetousness and temptation"
"God does not inspire one man to
conquer another, and inspire the
other to die for independence"
cit is not the producer, but the
non-producer of wealth, that makes
the laws"
$50 long as the farmer lets the
monopollst make the laws, they
will not meet 1t summer re-
SORTS"
"If the people wish 10 extinguish
trusts they must take the extin.
guisher out Of the hands of monopo-
lists.
"Monopolist opposed the Democ-
racy because it was the party of
the common people,"
1.-The Democratic party is now
built from the voter up; heretofore
it was built from the flnancier
down."
IF the Republican party destroys
trusts it will destroy the goosc that
lays the golden egg"
