WASHINGTON LETTER.


can tariff bill has been taken and the
question has been settled for the time
being at least, it seems advisable TO
review some of the circumstances lead
ing up to it and resulting from it.
First, and most important from poll
tical standpoint, is the fact that Presi-
dent Mckinley is on the winning side.
However the matter had been decided,
he would still have been on the win
ming side. There are few more astute
politicians than William Mckinley.
When questioned as to his desires in
regard to the bill, he merely replied
that he wished for Republican har-
mony, leaving to be understood, &C.
cording to the wishes of his questioner
that he stood by his message declaring
it our "plain duty TO give free trade to
Porto Rico, or that he favored harmony
by the minority republicans yielding to
the majority.
y long time has elapsed since so de.
teImined an effort has been made to
pass bill in the face of so much oppos-
ition in and opposition out of the party.
No sacrifices have been regarded as too
great, no pledges as too high to give
in return for votes. Threats and ca
jolery alike nave been utalized in the
effort to secure its passage. Members
of little Importance have suddenly dis
covered they were very necessary to the
leaders of their party, and some of them
have exacted heavy conditions as the
price of their work. Similarly, the var
ious amendments accepted by the Ways
and Means committee, limiting the bill
to comparatively shoyt period and re
ducing the rates of duty imposed by it
show how desperately the republicans
stroye to pass it. Unquestionably they
were moved by terror as to their future
action in regard to the Philippines as
well as Porto Rico, and the republica ms
would be apt to enact legislation that
would absolutely destroy them when its
consequences became known to the
country.
Democrats here are drawing COM
parsons between the actions of our
government and those of Great Britain
somewhat to our disadvantage. Ever
since the president precipitated the
Philippine war it has been worse than
drawing eyeteeth to get any informa-
tion from him as to his policy in the
Philippines, and even as to actual oc-
currences in that country. Senator
Pettigrew and others have asked for
facts, but have been set upon and de-
nounced as all sorts of traitors who
wanted to aid Aguinaldo for asking for
Information to which the country
is plainly entitled. The President in
speech and in writing has again and
again declared that it was for congress
to prescribe the method of conducting
the war and the policy to be pursued.
Yet he went managing everything HIM
self and taking progressive and radical
steps WIFI CouteuipluouS disregard Vi
the views of congress or of public
opinion. Every effort to obtain intelli
gence throwing light on the action of
Administra tion has been met with de.
termined opposition by its henchmen
in the two houses. Resolutions of in.
quiry which were finally pushed through
were answered partially or completely
ignored.
In Great Britain the case is far diff
ferent. With war on its hands In
which, until recently, it suffered hum.
