IMPERIALISM VS.. PROTECTIGNISn
It has long been an occasion of surnrisa
that the logical, and, indeed, the inevita-
bic effect of the imperlalist policy on the
doctrine of protection has so long escaped
the attention it should have received from
those who favor paternalism in govern
ment. But such the fact is, nevertheless
Protectionists have apparently remained
blinded by the glare of imperialism so
that they have not seen the decree of
doom which has been entered against
their faVorite theory of government.
The two thoughts of foreign possessions
and. incidentally of foreign SHINING
trade, on the one hand, and of the monop-
Oily OF the home market by favored d mes
tie manufacturers, on the other. are utter
iy inconsistent. But the inconsistency
seemed to be impossible of discovery, h,,
the protecdonists. Until the recommend
tion of free trade with Porto Rico had
been made in the presidential messapa
there never appears TO have been apv
thought entertained by the high tariff
people that their pet theory of producing
internal prosperity through high taxation
was in danger The Porto Rico recon-
mendation put an end for the time 70 all

formed of the protectionist crowd. They
had seen at last the handwriting on the

tectionism and Imperialism cannot survive
side by side
In the current number of that stanch,
protectionist publication, Gunton's Maga-
zine, there is TO be found a very striking
article on this general subject, entitled,
Expansion, the Doom CT Protection. 1t
is written by the editor of the magazine,
and it puts in tangible and cogently-ex-
pressed form the thoughts which find ex-
preston in it's title. There are many rea-
sons set forth showing the basis of the
conclusion reached by the editor of Gun
tons Magazine. most of them. however,
having but little real application to the
case The one essential consideration,
however, seems to have broken in on the
mind of this editor, that if the national
energies are to be absorbed by the culu-
vation of paterna Ism in government away
off in the tropics, there will be little
thought or effort left for bestowal upon
the exercise of paternalism at home This
thought he puts in rather effective form
in the following excerpt taken from the
article mentioned:
Under the alluring glamour of becom-
ing a world power. with distant posses
SionS demanding trade concessions in for
eign countries, and becoming the paternal
guardians of barbarians, We have already
begun to lose the grip upon our domestic
interests, the very source OF our national
welfare. AS the demands of these foreign
interests increase. and our intercourse
with foreign nations becomes more in
YolVed, the maint enanCe of our prestige
abroad will soon become national
patriotic sentiment. With sentiment
for a world power and world commerce,
the road for free trade propaganda, which
has already recommended, will be easy
and inviting. Another touch of dull trade
is all that is necessary to put this move
ment under full headway. Thus the very
ideal for which free traders have so long
struggled in vain is now likely to be ac-
complished for them by the protectionists
themselves
1t is all, a best. a question of greed.
The eXploiters of the colonial idea are
simply just little more powerful at this
particular time with the officials in power,

Celebration of May IL at Mozart
Hall.

The society of Sons Of Norway cele-
brated the 18th of May last evening at
Mozart hall, the occasion corresponding
to the American Fourth of July. The
Fran Singing society contributed prom
inentiy to the programme and the address
of the evening was delivered by DR.. j. s.
Johnson. Dr. Johnson dwelt upon the
Importance of the occasion and of the
new era and better feeling which marked
the adoption of the new constitution May
II, 1874 which cemented Norway and
Sweden together. With the exception Of
the same reiguing monarch and consular
officers and ministers to other countries
the Norwegian people are governed un-
der an independent system. In all local
matters they exercise great freedom,
and with the exceptions noted the consti-
tuition adopted nearly a century ago Is
still in effect with very few alterations
DIR. Johnsons address was followed By
a dance and supper.
