that exactions are most widely distrib-
uted upon oil, q uniform tariff on all
things would fall most heavily upon
labor and the poor, with almost prac-
teal exemption Of others. comparative
ly from the burdens of government, all
though they chiefly enjoy its paternal
care and nurture. Nor would a tariff
for revenue only suffice for the rapa-
cious interests that are now so domi-
nant in our public affairs: its imposts
would surely be so apportioned as to
spare the wealthy and Cypress the poor
under the money-powers now so RAM
pant, and that are as devoid Of politi-
cal principle as they are of every other,
and nave no party bias save to the
party whose managers favor and ag-
grandize them!
Under honest Democratic rule. WITH
no Cleveland leaven in 1t, we would
have tariff wisely and justly gradu-
ated so as not to Cypress the poor, nor
exempt the rich; and SO adjusted as to
protect incidentally all products, mate
rails and industries, of all sections,
that actually need protection to devel-
op for the common good-but in no
case giving article or enterprise an adj
vantage that could be turned to spe-
cinl. sectional, or Individual enrich
ment at the expense OF any other per-
son, section, or common interest.
A tariff which by imposing on us
high prices at home, enables certain
persons to undersell foreign labor and
production in the same articles, is an
economical, political and moral iniqul-
ty, as it can exist only at the expense
OF our people, and it can only succeed
by the oppression Of both foreign and
domestic labor and production in the
long run.

The Virginian-Pilot is not opposed to
the object of the separatc-car bill; on
the contrary it is heartily in favor of
that object: 1t fears that the pending
bill will not fully accomplish its OBJ
ject, and may cause more trouble than
good. There are many offensive travel
ers that no decent person desires to
come in contact with, and many of
these are white persons. Yet we really
know of no fully effective method of
dealing with the matter that would not
entail too much cost and trouble. There
should be q ladies' car, of the first
class; and then a second and third
class car, with authority in the con-
ductor to seat passengers, in any case
OF objection or dispute. But we fear it
will be long before we can secure such
accommodations, even with palace-car
companies. &C.. to help.

true that we can hardly abolish the

THE TARIFF AND PROTECTION.

Whatever may be economical truth as
to the theory of Protection by tariff du-
ties, or whatever may be the practical
results Of Free Trade in England. 1t
has now become an historical fact,
Eflemonstratle proposition, that our
tDirglcy Tariff bill. with Its insur-
mountnble barriers to foreign competi-
ttion, in many cases, has greatly pro
enoted the commercial combinations. the
manufacturing associations and the
other corporations, which are all known
as trusts and monopolies. Men OF all
parties and theories, therefore. now
confronted by this undeniable condition
!, Of thinrs agree that our tariff should
be amended in NIL those particulars In
which it glarngly contributes to the
3 extortions of the trusts, and deprives
( the public from all relief at home, or
( from abroad 1t is shown. In some IN
( stances, that but for the exclusion OF
foreign competition by the present tar
III and It's rates, certain oppressive
monopolies could not be maintained
among us; and where the evil Is so
great. and the remedy SO apparent AMI
easy, Congress should act at once for
the rescue of the public. without re-
gard to party or its previous condition
y of POLITICAL scrvitude.
One can understand that, in the early
years OF our history and development,
1t was wise policy TO encourage di-
y rentIv certnin of our most necessary
and yet feeble Industries. Our mate
z rial and Industrial development was re-
farded, and In some instances absolute
~ prevented. by free importations; and
1T was necessary to impose heavy du-
/. ties upon these to afford our labor. ma
terials, skill and enterprise q fair and
free chance at home. or course, 1t was
clearly and fully understood that these
duties on imports would raise the price
Z of the articles; but 1t was urged that

tories OF other lands; that thus our la
Dor would find wider and more diversi-

political independence a practical indie
pendence-the surest foundation of ma
tIonal prosperity and progress-to be
eventually crowned with the best OF
everything at the lowest rates through
the healthy competition OF our free
manhood.

THE RAINY SEASON.

The rainy season draws near in the
Philippines. Unfortunately for Nc
Kinley, 1t begins in October, just be.
fore the election. When the rains be-
gin the war must come to an end
for the season, with the Filipinos
still unconquered. After two years
of bloodshed, rash extravaganza, cor
ruption all this nasty work must be
done over again. The administra-
tion's lying bulletins announcing that
the war is over" long since ceased
to be received seriously, even by the
administrations friends They are
no longer issued. Here, however, is a
recent unofficial statement from an
unofficial source, which may be relied
upon as true:
This, then, is the situation at the
close of the dry season of six months,
when we have had 5000 soldiers in
the field. With the rainy season any
extensive tactics are impossible.
Tell the people at home that we
cannot spare any one of those $4,000
men. Tell them that we need 100, 900,
and the quicker we get them the more
expense will be saved in the end.
Yes, let them know that they have
been misinformed as to the real situs-
tion," is approximately the languag g
in which officers have again and again
stated their opinion.
1t is surprising that we should Gift
cially, in imitation of Spain, still take
the view that the islands are pacified:
still send home optimistic messages
which are continually contradicted by
facts. 1t is surprising that the ad-
ministration, deciding that this is the
best "policy" should-though it per
mits with an appearance of pain and
suffering-permit the news associa-
ton to send home the accounts of the
numerous engagements. OF late the
word has been passed that while it is
all very we'll to kill the insurgents, it
is not always best to make the num-
Der too great when you have no losses
on your own side. Yet the administers
ton must favor the method which kills
every native in front of a skirmish
line or else it would not have chosen
one of the men it did for promotion to
one of two vacant brigadierships. The
moral effect of the appointment on the
army is bad.

This would stop lynching and would
inspire con fidence into the people that
things would not be allowed to drag
along in@ the old slow accustomed
way. There is nothing so tedious to
those who are not skilled in the law
as its tiresome delays; which quib-
bling lawyers seem so much to delight
in and when finally judgment is
reached, the crime which has been
committed has almost passed out OF
the memory of the patient suffering
public who believe that justice should
be melted out promptly to any GRIM

MARK HANNA,s BAD BREAK. :

Mark Hanna has more trouble on
his hands, and this time he can't
blame Roosevelt. In his famous AS
bury Park speech the Ohio boss let
slip an expression to the effect that
the Republican party proposed to
make McKinley's administration
perpetual" Mark has been trying
to square himself ever since, but his
explanation doesn't explain. The
fact is, he spoke from the heart, and
told the truth for once. And every
body knows it. tits no use to plead
slip of the tongue" 1t is no secret
that Hanpa's chief aim and ambition
is to perpetuate his own reign in the
person of McKinley-that is the es-
sepce of imperialism.

LOOKS BRIGHT IN THE EAST

both New York and New Jersey
will give Bryan their ELECTORAL votes
this fall" very positively announced
Repres entative Thos. J. Bradley of
New York city, in Washington yester-
day. "There is nothing at all sur
prising in this statement to the stu.
dent of practical politics and human
nature. Let me explain: Bryan was
defeated by a narrow margin four
years ago, because he was looked
upon as a radical man; a man with
new and uDtried ideas and principles.
Hence the commercial centers, where
the conservative element is in control,
opposed and defeated him. For
business, or wealth, is always con-
servative and very fearful of any.
thing like radical departure from
old standards and ideas. In other
words, money is always afraid of any
thing it don't understand. 1t did not
understand Mr.. Bryan and his ideas
in 1896, and it therefore strained itself
to beat him.
This year, however, it is just the
other way. 1t is Mckinley who has
departed from the ways of our
fathers and left beyond hope of re-
turn the good old ways upon which
this nation was founded and built up;
and the wealth of the country, as
usual, does not understand this new
thing, and therefore fears it. 1t is
Mckinley who is looked upon as a
radical this year, and the great CEN
tiers of population and commerce will
be against him. He will be defeated,
while Bryan, who has taken his old
opponents place as the CONSERVATION
of the ancient established institutions
of the country, will be triumphantly
elected. How about New Jersey?
Why, in presidential years New Jer-
sey generally goes as New York does.

good service as an issue. He would
be glad if it had never been mention

barons apparently have notes to meet
this fall and will have to raise the
price of coal. In preparation for this
step they are getting ready to shut
down the mines and in a few weeks
that long suffering region will present
