An Ugly River to Cross.

The Republican administration has
come to an ugly stream in the course
of its destiny. This stream Is much
swollen and its approach and exit are
opposed by precipitous banks. Will the
Republican party be able to cross it
without abandoning the old protection
boat in which it has made so many safe
voyages? We will see.
Here are the islands of the Philippine
archipelago, many of which are as fer
tile as the valley of the Nile. that sugar

growth of sugar except to the ruin of
the producer in the United States. The

whence competition Is expelled, cares
nothing about how much empire is ex-

not be destroyed by an inhibitory tariff.
The wide river of. difference that
flows between these two extremes Is
the ugly stream the Republican party
must cross. However, 1t is task and

We must advocate measures that are

the heavy mud hooks held fast, the deck
cleats to which the anchor chains were
attached broke loose and liberated the
