THE PORTO RICO INFAMY.
Honor, Justice and Equity Tramp1ed
Under Foot by q Trust
Congress-.

The Porto Rican tariff bill infamy
has passed the United States senate
and house, and now, according to Sem
ator Davis, the Porto Ricans are as
sured of free rum and taxed bread
Tie victory was not overwhelming,
but it was enough to demonstrate that
the government of the nation and the
welfare of it's people are at the mercy
of the trusts. 1t was a victory for the
sugar and tobacco trusts, a vindica-
ton of the course Of Mark Hanna, the
trust leader, the elimination of the
reign of corruption and the apothesis
of the money power. It stamps TIE
seal of utter incompetency upon the
Mckinley administration and betrays
the untrustworthiness of the repub-
ican party. s
It was amusing to hear Depew.
Spooner, Cullom and the others charge
the trusts with seeking to defeat the
bill and secure free trade. All the
more amusing when everybody knows
that the only lobby in Washington
since the Porto Rican matter came up
was headed by Henry Oxnard, Of the
sugar trust, who fought for the tariff
bill, and even influenced the president
himself to abandon his conscientious
convictions of plain duty. The reck-
oning must now be made with the peo-
pie. They will see the spector of
betrayal stalk among them as. warn
ing against their own betrayal by the
same influences that have controlled,
and do now control, republican adj
ministration and hold the republican
party in its grasp.

ours, and that the FiIipinos are de-
Tending their war for liberty by the
arguments which the fathers of our re-
entire unftness for self-goyernment,
because it is weil-knoWn and generally
stated in this country, particularly by
the republican statesmen, that the
founders of this republic did not know
what they were about and that we have
outgrown their sentimental and inn
practicable ideas.
However, this action of the Filipinos
is just what might have been expected.
The poorest way in the world to get
trade is to go after it with Gatling
guns. Our merchants know that the
trade of a house depends largely upon
the confidence and good opinion which
its customers have of it. Certainly we
have, as nation, done nothing to es-
tablish this sort of good will with the
Filipinos. In this. connection it may be
worth while to reflect upon the fact
that our trade with Porto Rico is
something like one-tenth as great now
by Spain. S
In Manila the other day Gen. Otis
found it necessary to suppress a play
entitled "For Home and Country" be-
cause the patriotic references in it
seemed likely to fire the Filipinos to
new efforts for independence. In SAM
tiago last week it became necessary to
suppress a newspaper called Free Gu
ba" and send five of its editors to jail.
Thus the mission of the United States
to carry freedom of speech and free
dom of the press to the lands which
have long suffered under the despotism
of medieval Spain progresses apace.
The triumphant reelection of
Mr.. Mckinley viii mean to him and
to all others the emphatic popular in
dorsement of the imperialist policy,
and a president who has begun the
revolution against republican princi-
pies without a popular mandate will
hardly fail to pursue it with the pop
ular approval at his back. And the
pursuit of it leads to the wreck OF
popular government in this he1ni-
sphere, if not throughout the world.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
IF the American worlfingman
can compete with the world there is
no further use for protection for him.
The protective tariff, therefore, be-
comes merely a buIWark for trusts
and combinations, enabling them to
charge the American consumer more
for goods than they charge TO any
other customer-U Utica Observer.
The difference between "a plain

Campalgn Isaues.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Gov.
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance of
the vice presidential nomination was
given out yesterday. He says: "The
success of the party representing the
principles embodied in the Kansas
City platform would unsettle our
whole governmental system, and the
effect would be ruinous to our
finances" Concerning trusts he says:
''No good whatever is subserved by
indiscriminate denunciation of cor
porations generally, and of all forms
of industrial combination in particu-
lar. A crude or ill-considered effort
to remedy them. would either be alb
sOlutcly without effect or else would
simply do damage" Speaking of the
acquisition of the Philippines he says
that there is nothing even remotely
resembling imperialism or 'militar-
ism involved in the present detelOp-
ment of that policy of expansion
which has been part of the history of
America from the day when she be-
came a nation"

Washington. Sept. 1s.-The desire
of China to actually begin the nego-

day in dispatch from Prince Ching,
delivered by Minister WI to the state
department. The dispatch was dated
at Pekin, September s. and in it
Prince Ching states that he has been
clothed with full authority, along
with Ii Hung Chang, to negotiate for
peace. He expresses a desire to pro-
coed in the matter and asks Minister
WI to submit a request to the Sec
rotary of state to send instructions
to Minister Conger to begin the nego-

Minister Conger's judgment as to

ing a bill for harbor improvements
here. 1t contemplates an appropria-
ton of 100000 gold for the con-

LARGE DEATH RATE.
Startling Statistics of British Cas-

Over 10 Per Cent or the Omeers wers
Killed and 10 Per Cent. OF the Enliste0
Msn-Spseulasing ON Kru-
Ger'a Wealth.

London, Sept. 16.-President Kru-
gers dramatic retreat has led the
commentators to re-announce the
close of the war, but the long list
of casualties and deaths, which con-
tinue to fill up the bulletin boards
at the war Office, belle their state
ments. The claims hitherto made
that the British losses in South Africa
have been small as compared with
those of other campaigns appear to
need revision, judging from the calcu-
lations made by a well known actu-
airy, who finds that of the officers in
South Africa, 72.1 per thousand have
been killed or have died of wounds;
3O.6 per thousand of the officers have
died of disease. OF the men 10 per
thousand have been killed or died of
wounds. and 31.S have died from dis
ease. These startling statistics not
only illustrate that while the officers
and men have suffered approximately
equally from disease, the risks of the
officers in action have been hugely
disproportionate, and also that the
rate of mortality in South Africa is
much greater than in the Franco-Ger-
man war.
French Make big Capture.
London, Sept. 16.-Lord Roberts
reports to the war Office as follows:
French occupied Barberton yesterday
with the cavalry which he took across

the enemy being completely surprised.
Twenty-three officers and 50 men who
were prisoners were released and 43 To-
comotives and other rolling stock were
captured. The former will relieve us Of
great difficulty as we had to put up with
few rickety engines. French reports
that he has sufficient supplies for three
weeks for his force and for a week for
his horses. One hundred Beers were cap
