HOW 1T "HAMPERs."

Development of Foreign Trade I'm
der Present Policy.
Since 1869 this country has all the
time been living under a strongly pro-
teetive tariff For the most part the
protection has been denounced by the
antiprotectionists rs excessive. For
two administrations we have had tar
IFS alleged to be SO high as to be char
aeteriZed as protection run mad" The
periods Of moderate protection" have
been brief, and the very last tariff. I'M
der which we are now showing such
enormous strides In our exports and es-
pecially our exports of manufactures,
is considered the worst tariff we have
ever had from the free trade point of
view
This fact cannot be too strongly en-
phaslzed. The hope of knocking out
protective tariff Is tho basis Of much or
the antiadministration activity. Said
Mr.. Hamilton Mabie when in Lowell
recently, II fear shall have to vote
the Republican ticket again" "Why
do you say fear" he was asked. "Be-
cause l would like to help stamp out
this Ubiquitous protective principle" he
replied. Organism was worse. In his
view, than protection. but not much.
The men who agree with Mr.. Mabie
are the men who have always consld-
cred protection as "blighting" princi-
pie. They are not imperialists, but
they are moved to help the Republic
ans again because they hope that ex-
pansion Will foster FREQ trade. This
and antisilyerlsm and antianarchism
are what influence them.
They are all Off in their reasoning |
and always have been. Protection |
helps foreign commerce instead of him
derng It, The tariff harms nobody in
this country In any way, unless 1t be
such folks as Mrs. Jack Gardner, who
wants to Import italian villas into
Massachusetts. - Lowell (Mass.) Cou

In an article written since returning
from the Philippines General Wheeler
remarks that Aguinaldo was fighting
for great prize and chad he won he
would have been powerful emperor,
a mighty dictator" The true imper-
ialistic movement is located by this
statement. Its head was Aguinaldo.
The government he intended to
form would have been n despotism
and forced upon fifty unwilling tribes
His only schooling was in Spanish
forms of government. lie would
have had state church. His edicts
would have been supreme. Large ac-
cnmulations Of products had been
gathered by his agents at various
ports to fill his treasury.
Spanish prisoners were held for
ransom. Rates of taxation would
have depended ON stroke of his pen,
and his method of collecting it, with
file of soldiers. General Wheeler has
seen the islands and studied the situa-
ton for himself. He believes that
Aguinaldo would have been an Orien-
tai dictator, an emperor.
Instead of pursuing a course of im-
perialism, the United States has struck
down Malay imperialistic conspiracy,
says the st. Louis "Globe- Democrat.
Yet large portion of the Democratic
party fayors the withdrawal of this
country from the Philippines and the
transfer of the reins of government to
Aguinaldo and the Tagals.
There is not the slightest evidence
that the Tagals wonld or could form a
free government, or that they would
consent to be instructed or protected
beyond the moment the American flag
was pulled down and the last of our
troops sailed away. Not one of the
Tagal leaders ever lived in republic
or was trained in Republican ideas.
They have played their cards for IN
empire in the Pacific, and directly in |
our path of intercourse with Asia. |
But they have lost, and the only inn
perialism proposed has gone down |
with them.
