Mckinley PIutocratx.

Behind Mir. Mckinley is a combina- tion of men who are the products and defenders of the republican socialism, not one of whom is in politics to be president, but all of whom want to be next to the president, and feel that they must win. They believe in money, for gaining business or social or po- litical ends. They are the ''plutocrats, 1" the money power" who had nearly 100000 of enemies in 1896. and who would have had more if the nature of the issue of that year had not united all property interests, those who be- lieve in government for private gain and those who hold that government should consider merely the public wei fare.-Henry Loomis Nelson, in Atlan- tic.

-An eychanpe saws "i

An exchange says eff Mr. Me- Kinley has the courage of his convic- tions he will either veto or refuse to sign the Porto Rican tariff bill" There comes the old question: What are MT. McKinley's convictions? The president in his annual message advised free trade with Porto Rico. He emphasized this as plain duty. Then came the bill to impose 25 per cent. of the Ding ley duties, afterward amended so as to make it 15 per cent. for two years. It was assumed that the leaders in the house and the president were al cross purposes: but To, the leaders were sent for and left the white house with the word that the bill must pass. The pres ident whipped the recalcitrants into opposition to his own message. What can the senate do for such man Gin cinnati Enquirer.

An Amazing Instance of Republican Subseryience to British
 Interests.

Even the Davis amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty does not fully protect the interests of the United States in the Nicaragua canal, which we are to build at cur own expense, and it is significant fact that so small a concession made to the American sentiment which believes that the canal we build we should protect is antag- onizedby all the administration forces. Senator Davis amendment simply provides that in time of war the United States may land troops, throw up earthworks and otLer temporary Notifications, blockade the canal, and use it as a means of national defense. But when war is begun it is toq, ,latxVtf, do these things. and the treaty, even as amended by Senator Davis, still de- nies to the United States the right to erect permanent Qualifications at either end of the canal which we are to dig at an expense which will prob- ably not fall short of $200, ,000, ,000 It is complete surrender to Great Brit ain. 1t is a virtual admission that ex- cept by conceding to the British a voice in the matter we cannot do as we choose on our own continent, even with the complete consent of nation in whose territory We propose to op- crate. There is only one more incident in the long record of republican sub servience to British interests, but per- haps 1t is the most amazing, the most incomprehensible, the most execrable of all.

Imperialism is no longer a mytl

-Imperialism is no longer a myth in this country, and imperialist is 6 substantive that has at last found the thing it stands for. Our imperiaiists are the republican protectionists who want to put high tariff taxes on the products of our new possessions im- ported into the United States. Impe- rialism and protection are both me- dieval institutions. It is natural that they should find favor only with bour- bon republicans.-N.Y Y. Times.

X peep Into the Eufure.

The Savannah Morning News is of opinion that the rapid growth of the cotton mill business in the south will finally attract to the manufacturing centers a great part of the white farm labor, and thus, thinks the Savannah editor, there will be reproduced in the south the condition of the farming community that existed in New En- gland some years ago; that is. a great plumber of southern forms will De abandoned, to be later on bought up for song, and rejuvenated by north ern and western people. This may prove that the Savannah editor has d firm hold on visicn into the future. The farmer of the northern states Is content to let other people work in factories, while he takes q few acres, enriches them, and sells butter, eggs and vegetables to the factory people. It beats going to work by the whistle and quitting by it's toot. To the right man it is better than S1.25 per day.

Protests against the measure are con,- ing in from farmers, wage workers and merchants. Militarism is not popular with the people-who have to foot the bills. And the disclosures III the Occur D'Alene investigation are stirring up considerable apprehension in the coun- try as to the advisability of heavily tax ing the people to support big military force which may possibly be used at home to take away all rights Of citi- zens.
 The Porto Ricnn Tarin.
 The house has fair prospect of get ting another vote on the Porto R1can tariff. The senate shows every dispo- sition to pass government bill with tariff amendment instead of the tariff measure passed by the house. The sen- ate free trade insurgents" even inti- mate that they will now vote for the Foraker bill and give their colleagues in the house chance to send back free trade measure if they choose. The whole fight disorganizes the republican forces more and more each day. The one thing that the republicans cling to with great pertinacity is that they will not concede that Porto Rico is part of the United States and entitled to the protection of the constitution. In the words of Senator Foraker, the unfor- tunate people of that island arc ''citi- zens of Porto Rico" and entitled to the protection of the United States.' That means whatever measure of pro- tection a trus1-controlled republican congress chooses to give.
