which lurk in maladminlstration. They
would substitute confiscation for regula-

The political effort now being made to
persuade the voters Of the country that
the trust is an outgrowth OF the protec-
tive tariff is unfortunate In its inability
TO cite facts In support of its theory.
There Is nothing like fact as a weapon
TO demolish fiction. England is a free
trade country-has been so for many
years. Yet England has been peculiarly
the home Of trusts-amOng the largest
incorporated during the past decade be-
ing the salt, the alkali, the thread the
cotton spinners', the cloth dyers', the
coal, the wool combers'. the chemical, the
textile machinery, the calico printers
and the wallpaper. Nowhere is the trust
more powerful for good or evil than in
free trade England. Where, then. does

How the Total Has Climbed since the

The bank clearances OF the country are
a direct reflection of the domestic busi-
ness OF the country. That is to say, at
least 9s per cent. of all settlements in
trade is done through the banking sys-
TEN. The clearance fluctuations, there
fore. are infallibly significant Of the
changes In commercial conditions.
In 1892 the bank clearances. in an ex-
traordlnarily good year. reached the
great aggregate of $50. O.sSS. .572, ,4Ss. With
the panic year of 1898 they showed a

emancipating the aborigines from the
force Of demoralizing habit and giving
reason the ascendancy.
There is nothing in our course in the
Philippines that does violence to the
methods and doctrine Of jefferson as
shown in the Louisiana matter. Jeffer-
son had on view dealings with foreign
power for new territory; for territory In
which the population was chiefly aborigi-
nal or descended from Europeans not OF
the cedlng powers nationality. He was
prepared to use force in defense Of the
treaty. He asked no consent Of the peo-
pie in the Territory, and he realized the
ultimate advantage TO both his country
and the annexed natives of a reorganiza-
ton forced by vital commercial interests.
Yet hard-headed business men and
sober-minded wage-earners continue to
have jefferson thrust at them in behalf
Of a governmental revolution.

PANIc AVID DEPRESSION.

Here is a quoted differentiation as to
hard times: "There is a vast difference
between financial panic and a business
depression, the panic being sharp and
short-lived and caused by a temporary
disturbance Of values. the depression be-
ing slow and long-lived and caused by a
wide inequality between demand and
supply. regardlesso Of values. We have often
had severe financial panics with only
a brief and slight disturbance of prosper
ity" Precisely A change of govern
ment now would inevitably bring the de-
preston by a repeal Of the protective
tariff, and panic would result from a
threatened destruction Of the gold stand
ard. either legally or in government prac-
tice. Where financial panics have been
brief the fact was due to causes other
than those now threatened.

sIGNs on TiiE TIMES.

One Of the most gratifying and hope
ful features of the era Of prosperity
which has followed the disastrous four
years 1926 is that no section or sec
tlons Of the country have benefited at
the cost Of others. North, South, East
and West are equally participants in the
good times. Everywhere the money
lender. who in times OF depression re-
celves much greater returns on his capi-
tai than he would in active business, to-
day receives less. The rates Of interest
have never before been so low in this
country, and while this condition was
being reached the products of labor and
labor itself have increased in value.

onstrates the proposition that the bene-
fits Of true colonization are necessarily
mutual, or reciprocal.
India, Indo-China. South Africa and
Java are striking illustrations in the case
of barbarous or semi-barbarous peoples
handled by Great Britain, France and
Holland. Canada and Australia stand
supreme in the list of colonization sue
oesses based upon local improvement and
limited lf-government.
THE GOVERNING COUNTRY.
The business interests of the United
States are to benefit by our new possess
sions chiefly because there are present
the economic conditions on either hand
essential to the best results Our new
territories produce. or are capable Of pro-
ducing. what we need in the way Of
tropical and sub-tropical supplies; and
we produce. in the form of surplus, not
only what they need, but, as 10 the Phil
ppines at least. commodities for the
whole Eastern market the entrance to
which the Philippines constitute a door
way.
AS is shown elsewhere. we pay prac-
tically one million dollars a day for what
we require Of tropical products. We pro-
pose that this expenditure shall all go
into our own territory. for the benefit
of our own people. If details are sought,
they may be found in the following rec

TAX REDUoTIoN IN VIEW.

There has been a demand recently in
various parts Of the country, for a reduc-
ton Of the revenue taxes growing out Of
the war with Spain. Until now 1t has
been inexpedient 10 cut these taxes be-
cause Of the uncertainty of the immediate
future of expenditures that might be nee
essary to protect us in our interests

ever. is pledged to a material reduction
by Congress a. the next session, in the
absence Of any unforeseen happenings
rendering such a step unsafe.
