The Hon. Stephen B. has at last
shown his fine Italian hand in the lat
est phase of the Virginia debt scheme.
He is charged with securing the pass
age of a bill authorizing the United
States government to sue on the West
Virginia illegal certificates, issued by
the State of Virginia against this State
and given to the spectators in settle
ment of the original Virginia debt.
The Virginia representation in Con-
gress promise to expose all those con-
nected with the scheme, if the govern
ment actually commences suit. What
delight and satisfaction the citi-
zens and taxpayers of West Virginia
will have in paying about double the
present State tax for several years in
order to satisfy Wall street spectators
and certain West Virginians who are
"in'' the deal. This is one Of the
beauties of Republican representation
in Congress.

THE PUERTO RICAN TARIFF BILL

Many Republican Congressman
would oppose the Puerto R1can
tariff bill as amended by the
Ways and Means Committee if
they dared defy the lash of
the party whip and power of the
weighty political interests-the inter-
ested trusts-which have determined
to push through the amended measure.
Puerto Rico being annexed to the
United States and a prospective candi-
date for Statehood, the original bill
proposed that our new acquisition be
given the benefit of free commercial
intercourse with the other States and
Territories of the Union.
But this just and fair proposition did
not meet the views of several trusts
whose highly protected interests were
involved although free trade with
Puerto Rico would only slightly inter-
rupt their game of plundering the
American consumer. And as all the
trust infants" must stand together
in defense of the tariff pap-bottle, the
trust influence of the country has been
united to prevent Congress from
adopting free trade with our new pos
session. And as the trusts own the
administration from the President
down to the humblest party bench
man, the work was easy. President
Mckinley first quietly and benignly
passed the word along against the or
iginal measure, pleading all sorts of
excuses why our new territory should
not be given free trade with the rest
of the country, going into the question
in its bearing on the Constitution
which he has been so ready to over
ride without question on other oc-
casions-to show that, although terri
tory of the United States, Puerto Rico
is not part of the United States and
therefore not entitled of right to free
commercial intercourse with the rest of
the country.
1t is amusing to note the antics of
the present administration with the
Constitution. If that instrument inter
feres with the designs of the imperial
clique-as in the Philippines and else
where-why, bless your heart. they
simply declare that the Constitution
has no jurisdiction, that the Presidents
will is above and beyond the Constitu-
ton under certain circumstances. On
the other hand, when they need that
instrument, to help bolster up another
Interior purpose, as in the Puerto Rican
tariff case, why, they don't. hesitate to
stretch it full mile in exactly the OBJ

THE CURE FOR TRUSTS.

A letter in another column to-day
from Mr.. Henry w. Lamb, deals with
the dangers of neglecting the tariff fea-
lures of the TRUSTS" 1t has been
demonstrated, in this careful series of
articles in these columns, that govern
ment interference and discrimination
give the Trusts" most of their power
to hurt The difference between the
numerous other cures proposed and the
common sense remedy which Mr..
Lamb advocates, is that they would in
crease the power of the government to
discriminate and he would do away
with it.
There cannot be any doubt as to who
really fixes the high tariff rates. In
taxes laid for revenue, with a few ex-
ceptions, the representatives of the
people are left to exercise their own
judgment; but when protective" IA
vors are to be secured the representa-
tives of organized wealth take the
TolnS. he SAME luHueuCo, WORKING
through the same channels, would die
tate classifications and rates if the
government should control the rail-
roads, just so long as protective"
taxes leave the trusts great prize to
work for. Remove the taxes which
give the Trusts their power to ex-
tort and we shall destroy at once the
great majority of the Trusts which now
wrest favors from railroad corpora
lions and would wrest them from the
government.
1t will not do to try to cure the evils
of government interference with trade
by giving the government greater op-
portunities to interior Don't mag
inc that the Trusts which dictate
rates to railroad corporations will be
unable to dictate them, like tariff
rates. to the government, at least so
long as the high tariff taxes heap
wealth upon them.

and avowed threat Of the loan advo-
Gates that II the measure was not en-
dorsed they would refuse to submit q
proper ordinance, but would increase
taxation. The people don't like that
sort of thing, and will have none Of
it.
But the most potent cause of RE-
lection" votes was the arrogance and
dictatorial course of the servants of
the people, whose services-such as
they are-are paid for by the people.
These gentlemen, forgetting that they
are only clothed with a little brief
authority, appear to have the con-
viction that they are the masters,
and that the people must do their
bidding, whereas the reverse is the
case. They wholly lost sight of the
fact that the officeholder is chosen by
the people to carry out the will of the
people, and with the nerve and auda-
city which occasionally finds lodge
ment in the, brains of those filling
places of honor, trust and profit, they
imagined they could mix dose for
the people, and then compel the peo-
pie to swallow it. They simply scor-
ed another failure, and such things
will always fail as long as the people
know what is good for them. The
sooner our officials get off Of that
particular high horse, and recognize
their proper place and position, the
better.
Z The people wish the compromise
loan taken care of. they want city
electric lighting on proper basis,
they wish the good old policy of pay
ing the debt of the city to continue,
and they want rigid economy in the
administration of the affairs of the
public and just regard for the inter-
ests of the people, and they want no
more dictation. Officials who fail in
these essentials cannot expect public
approval.

FORGOT ABOUT THE EFFECT.

Inability easily to concentrate his mind upon the special issue of the sub ject under discussion was always MT. Sherman's weak point in debate. Even in discussing financial questions he would sometimes stammer and stumble until it would be painful to attempt to follow him. At his best his delivery was marked by earnestness and sin cerity. his presentment was lucid, swift and logical, and everywhere apparent was his broad, general knowledge. Heard in congress or from the stump his addresses and shorter speeches made scores of converts. No doubt his lack of humor went along with his deep reserve in keeping him just beyond the border line that cuts worship from re- spect. Like Nelson Dingley, MT. Sher- man would not know joke if he met one on the street.
