Philadelphia Times: Secretary Gage has
committed AN error in directing that the
entire Internal revenue receipts of the
government. amounting 10 Sl.o1o.o00 day,
shall be deposited In "A single bank in
New York city Tor the purpose OF reliev-
ing the monetary stringency now felt In
business circles. II was right to deposit
these revenues where they could be
promptly dinused TO meet the business
necessities of the times, but it was not
right to concentrate them at any one
place or in any one bank. The internal
revenue receipts come from all the differ
ent sections OF the country, and every Gee
tiOn is equally entitled To the immediate
benefit OF such deposits. The government
has It's designated repositories in every
part Of the union where these revenues
could be placed, and they should be con-
centrated at least in every state, and the
deposits made there for the benefit OF that
particular community.

ment we might establish would necessar-
lily, because Of the population, be an oil

Yet Hawaii has now been annexed and
her delegates have sat in the national
conventions Of the two great parties. The
fears then expressed in relation to an
"oligarchy" and EARNED soldiers" are not
now seriously entertained by any human
being; yet they are precisely the objec-
tons urged against the acquisition of the
Philippines at this very moment.
Militarism Is Not Involved.
We are making no new departure
We are not taking a single step which
in any way affects our institutions or our
traditional policies. From the beginning
we have given widely varying degrees of
self-goyernment to the different terrific

justifying the extension of slavery into

Consent Not Necessary.
The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what is now be-
ing done in the Philippines is exact. JEFF
ferson, the author Of the declaration of
independence, and Of the consent of the
governed" doctrine, saw no incongruity
between this and the establishment of
a government on common-sense grounds
in the new territory; and he rallied at
the sticklers for an impossible applica-
ton Of his principle, saying in language
which at the present day applies to the
situation in the Philippines without the
change of word, though it is acknowl-
edged that our new fellow-citizens are
as yet as incapable of self-government
as children, yet some cannot bring them
selves to suspend its principles for q sim
gle moment" He intended that ulti-
mately self-government should be intro
duced throughout the territory. but only
as the different parts became fit for it
and no sooner. This is just the policy
that has been pursued.

Prosperity the Great Issue.
The most Important of all problems is.
OF course, flat OF securing good govern
ment and Lioral and material well-being
within our opa borders. Great though
the need is that the nation should do its
work well abroad even this comes second
to the thorough performance of duty at
home. Under the administration Of Pres
ident Mckinley this country has been
blessed with degree OF prosperity abb
solutely unparalleled. even in its previ-
Gus prosperous history
While it is, of course. true that no leg
islation and no administration can bring
success to those who are not stout of
heart, cool of head and ready of hand,
yet it is no less true that the individual
capacity Of each man to get good results
for himself can be absolutely destroyed
By bad legislation or bad administration.
while under the reverse conditions the
power OF the individual to do good work
Is assured and stimulated. This is what
has been done under the administration
OF President Mckinley. Thanks to his
actions and to the wise legislation of
Congress on the tariff and finance. the
conditions of our industrial life have been
rendered more favorable than ever be-
fore. and they have been taken advan-
tage of TO the full by American thrift, in
dustry and enterprise. Order has been
observed, the courts upheld and the fuil.
est liberty secured 10 all citizens. The
merchant and manufacturer, but above
all the farmer and the wage-worker have
profted by this state of things.

Fundamentally and primarily the pres

: mans interest is so great as that of the
wageworker A deprecated currency
means loss and disaster TO the business
man: but it means grim suffering TO the

much of his capital and will suffer wear
| ing anxiety and the loss of many COM
| forts; but the wage-worker who loses his
wages must suffer and see his wife and
children suffer for the actual necessities
of life. The one absolutely vital need
of our whole industrial system is sound
money.
One of the serious problems with which
we are confronted under the conditions
of our modern industrial civilization Is
that presented by the great business COM
binations which are generally known un-
der the name of trusts.
The problem is an exceedingly difficult
one and the difficulty is immensely ag-
grayated both by honest but wrong
headed attacks on our whole Industrial
system in the effort to remove some OF
the evils connected with it, and by the
mischieyous advice of men who either
think crookedly or who advance remedies
knowing them TO be ineffective, but deem
ing that they may, by darkening coun-
sci, achieve for themselves q spurious
reputation for wisdom.
No good whatever is subserved by in
discriminate denunciation of corporations
generally and OF all forms of industrial
combination in particular; and when this
public denunciation is accompanied by
private membership in the great corpora
lions denounced, the effect is, of course,
TO give an air Of insincerity to the whole
movement. Nevertheless, there are real
abuses, and there is ample reason for
striving to remedy these abuses. A crude
or ill-considered effort to remedy them
would either be absolutely without effect
or else would simply do damage
Plan for Federal Interference.
The first thing to do is to find out the
facts; and for this purpose publicity as
to capitalization, profits and all else OF
Importance to the public, is the most use-
ful measure. The mere fact of this pub
licity would in itself remedy certain evils,
and, as to the others, it would in some
cases point out the remedies, and would
at least enable us to tell whether or not
certain proposed remedies would be use
ful. The State acting in its collective ca

I ..rned primarily in the interests or tneli
J own citizens. Our first care must be fol
the people of the islands which have
come under our guardianship as result
of the most righteous foreign war that
has been waged within the memory OF
the present generation. They must be
administered in the interests of their in
habitants, and that necessarily means
that any question of personal or partisan
politics in their administration must be
entirely eliminated.
We must continue to put at the heads
Of affairs in the different islands such
men as Gen. Wood. Gov. Allen and
Judge Taft; and it is a most fortunate
thing that we are able to illustrate what
ought to be done in the way of sending
officers thither BY pointing out what ac-
tually has been done. The minor places
in their administration, where it is inn
possible to fill them by natives, must be
filed by the strictest application of the
merit system
1t is very important that in our own
home administration the merely minis
terial and administrative Offices. where
the duties are entirely non-political, shall
be filed absolutely without reference to
partisan affiliations; but this is many
times more important in the newly ac-
quired islands. The merit system is i'll
its essence as democratic as our COM
mon school system. for it simply means
equal chances and fair play for all.
Parallel with Indian Government.
1t nuts be remembered always that
governing these islands in the interest of
the inhabitants may not necessarily be
to govern them as the inhabitants ct the
moment prefer, to grant self-government
to Luzon under Aguinaldo would be like
granting self-government TO an Apache
reservation under some local chief; and
this is no more altered by the fact that
the Filipinos fought the Spaniards than
it would be by the fact that Apaches
have long been trained and employed in
the United States army and have rem
dered signal service therein; just as the
Pawnees did under the administration of
President Grant; just as the Stoclxbridge
Indians did Ia the days of Gen. Wash
ington, and the friendly tribes of the six
nations in the days of President Madison
There are now in the United States
communities of Indians which have ad-
vanced so far that it has been possible
to embody them as whole in our POI
litical system, all the members Of the
tribe becoming United States citizens.
There are other communities where the
bulk Of the tribe are still too wild for it
to be possible to take such step. There
are individuals among the Apaches, Paw
nees, Iroquois, Sioux and other tribes
