AGRICULTURE PROTESTS.
The standardization Policy of Expnn-
sion Does Not Meet with Gem
eral Approval.

The first response from the nation TO
the colonial policy seems to come from
the agricultural classes. In conformity
with the presidents notion that the new
possessions are as much a part Of the
United States as Florida, California OF
Alaska, Secretary of War Root proposes
to abolish tariff barriers against goods
of our own possessions. Immediately
comes this protest from Springfield, o..
from Herber: Myrick, editor of an agri-
cultural paper. He telegraphed TO the
president as follows:
I'VE respectfully, but mos. vigorous
ly protest against the admission OF trop-
teal produce free of duty or at reduced
rates. as recommended by the secretary
Of war this morning. The protest Is
made in behalf OF millions OF American
farmers. laborers and capital engaged IN
the domestic culture or manufacture OF
sugar beets. sugar cane. tobacco. cigars.
fruits. vegetables rice. etc. They will
not submit TO being ruined for the bene-
fit OF trusts employing cool!e labor that
inevitably Will control production ard man
ufactures In the tropics. THAI we speak
with authority in behalf OF these great
domestic interests Will soon be demon
st-ated."
Such protest as that may be ealcu
lated to strike a protectionist like Ne
Kinley with great force. If this new pol
icr of destiny shall upset McKinley's al.
legged protection-made prosperity, the
last condition may be worse than the
first The agriculturists to whom Nc
Kinley taught the doctrine of protection
evidently remember it and are selfish
enough to want the benefit of it If i'm
perialism is question of business, as
Commissioner DENLY declared in re-
cent article, the proteetionists may
make the president turn his back on the
policy of destiny in order to preserve
his own personal policy of protection a.
home. DENLY said:
The cold. hard. practical question alone
remains: VIII the possession OF these
Islands benefit US as a nation? II ii will not
set them free tomorrow and let their peo-
pie. II they please. cut each others throat.
or play what pranks they please. To this
complexion we must come at last, that I'M.
less Il is beneficial for Us to hold these
Islands, we should turn them loose"
When il comes 10 determining the
cold, hard, practical question, docs it
pay?" the president may hear protests
from the nation more emphatic than
even that of the agrieulturists.-Utic a

HANNA OR The PEOPLE.
An Interesting Contest In Prospses
in the UnitsS states
Senate.

1t viii not surprise the people to see
Senator Hanna, of Ohio, take the lead
ership OF the opposition TO the senate
movement for an amendment 10 the
constitution that shall provide for the
election of United States senators by
a direct vote of the people.
The senatorial trust instrument
from Ohio naturally sees very clearly
the danger which this movement con-
tains to himself and TO other instru-
ments of the trusts Whole service TO
their masters may best be rendered
in the United States senate. It 10
comparatively easy TO defeat, By pc-
litieal jugglery or the use of money,
the viii of the people as supposed TO
be expressed through the acts of state
legislatures. 1t is far less easy-in
fact, it is practically impossible-to
fool or bride the whole people. And
the people are not in favor of sending
trust instruments to represent their
interests in the senate.
The senatorial junta counted on to
support Senator Hanna is powerful,
dCEUiE ana EtSoACtCs II Will use every
means within its power TO avert the
disaster to trust dominance threat
ened by the success OF this movement
for the election of senators by popu-
lar vote. II possesses a tremendous
advantage in the fact that it will re-
quire a two-thirds vote of the senate
TO pass the proposed amendment.
Public sentiment brought to bear on
senators not impervious to its infiu-
ence through their subSeryiency to
the trust is counted upon to overcome
the work of Mark Hanna and his trust
troop in the United States senate. The
people favor the election of senators
by direct vote. 4 majority of the
senate is believed also to be favorable
10 the proposed amendment. The nec-
essary two-thirds majority would, il
is thought. be scored snder popular
pressure. The fight, therefore, is be-
tween Mark Hanna and the people.

foreign powers to parcel out China
and label some of the pieces as

while wanting to corral the trade
of the Chinese as far as possible,
is wise enough to fear the bloody

with those millions of fanatics in
any attempt at dismembering their
nation. Mr.. Hill says:
"What is wanted over in China is a
government such as will guarantee
safety for life and property, and if we
could make up our minds to let China
alone for while [ think it would be

centuries old and we do not want to
change it unless we can take care of
their bodies as we'll as their souls. The
missionaries are all right, but we should
not undertake to carry the gospel to the
Chinese as Mahomet, with the sword"

abreast has developed as the
events have developed. He has
placed himself in line with the
trend Of public opinion or rather
led this opinion. The swirl of
events has drawn the administra-
ton into acts and policies which it
could not avoid, surrounded as it
was with men who would profit
by certain policy. Bryan has
been keen to detect the weak parts
of the armor of the party in
power-thus he has led his party,
while Mckinley has been led by his
party, or rather by its managers.
The most striking contrast be-
tween Mckinley and Bryan was
shown in the attitude toward their
respective parties. Mckinley is
over looking at the weather vane
of republican opinion, and shifts
his sails to accommodate the wind
and not to preserve his course.
Bryan holds to what he believes
to be true and expedient, whether
his party believes it or not. The
reputation of Grover Cleveland
will rest upon the fact that he
defed the party leaders and the
people stood by him. Bryan has
as much backbone as has Cleve-
land, and more ability. He is
nearer the people-has broader
information, keener mind and a
more sympathetic nature. The
contempt in which many men
affected to hold Bryan four years
ago, has been turned to respect.
He is not only party character
but he has become a national
character. He has proved his
honesty, his fidelity, his ability.
New issues and new duties have
arisen and nowhere is that change
Of thought SO apparent as among
the common voters. With all
this advancement Bryan has kept
pace-has been open and pro-
nounced, while the administration
leaders have been cropping in the
dark for policy.

the same period as $736,6lO.73,
leaving a balance on hand july l,

amount $40,289 is in the general
fund. Of the balance shown in
