Due to the Tariff.

The Republican leaders admit that
the sensational disclosures of the Car
negie suit are more damaging to the
interests Of that party than anything
that could possibly be done by Con
gress. because it cannot be denied that
the enormous business and the amazing
profits which have been enjoyed by the
Carnegie company have been directly
due to a protective tariff. In fact, it
has not only been admitted, but it has
been boosted by the Republicans that
the policy of protection is responsible
for the prosperity of the iron and steel
manufacturers Of the United States.

A singular case of devotion to an old

Mr.. Schreiner had SID his farm. which
he had obtained from his father in 1850
and which his father had claimed from
the Government in 1876. When the pa

was unwilling to see the old home go and

The body of John Schroeder, 63 years

at Racine. Schroeder disappeared from
his home on Dec. 81, and at the time it
was feared that he had committed sui

laboring under the impression that if ply
sicians were called he would be sent to
an asylum. The belief prevails that he
leaped off the harbor piers. He was 4
shoemaker by trade and quite well off.
He went to Racine from Burlington.

Expansion rs Imperia1ism.

SO thinks the Boston Transt ript
Moreover, it is impressed with the
gravity of the questions to be solved by
a Republican Congress. The matter
comes up in the Porto Rico tariff,
which is not of itself momentous, bat
is rather the entering wedge charac
ter of the proposal, the far-reaching
effect of decreeing that territory may
be held by the United States as a part
of its domain, and still be not entitled
to American rights, that will give vi
tally to the discussion. Aside from
our obligation to Porto Rico on account
of her pressing needs, President Nc
Kinley was displaying that shrewd-
ness which always characterizes his do
ings when he recommended free trade
with the island for in that way the con-
stitutional question might have been
postponed till the status of the Philip
pine Islands came up for settlement,
and by that time the Presidential cleo
ton would have been passed and the
American people besides might have be-
come more accustomed to a colonial
policy.
Just now the projection of this ques
ton is most unfortunate. The issue in
yolved is really that between expansion
and imperialism. Heretofore, the Re.
publicans have insisted that they were
not imperialists, that no sane man
thought of imperialism. that they were
simply expansionists, and that expan-
sion had been the settled American pol
icy since Jeffersons day to this. Now,
the distinction between the recommen-
dation Of the Republicans on the Ways
and Means Committee and OF the Dem
ocrats, REINFORCED by Mr.. McCall's in
dividual report, is exactly the distine-
ton between expansion and imperial
ism, or between the policy which has
accompanied our territorial growth in
the past and that which it is said must
necessarily go with our more recent
acquisitions"
All of the signs portend that Mr. Nc
Kinley will soon occupy the position of
a traitor to his own party. Free trade.

that is money of all which must be
redeemed on demand in gold. If this
new principle is to prevail the real
money will be four billions of gold, and
the credit money, including the silver
money, will be ten billions. And upon
the gold and credit money are to be
built all the checks and other credits
in trade throughout the world. How

"NNe want the real money of the
world to be eight billions Of dollars in

billions of dollars. The difference
means injustice, injury, suffering and
distress to millions of Gods poor peo-
pie the world over; while the gold class
is to wax fat at the cost of their help

ought not to burden us with gold mon

stream. The water came from the

accumulated dnring the recent storm in
the foundation and caused the work
men much trouble. Finally the con-
tractors Vincent q Belser, found it
necessary to use pump. For several
days past the water has been steadily
pumped out, care being taken that it
was confined within the bound of the
gutter on Alakea street between King
and Merchant. From Merchant to
Queen they did not have it under con-
troll. with the result of exceedingly
muddy streets. 1t is only now dry
