II HE RADICAL distinction between the Nc
Kiney and the Bryan policies for the Phil.
= ippines may be stated exactly in a few
words. Both concede that the United
States, because Of the treaty aud as a conse-
qucnce Of the Spanish war have a grave re-
sponsibility to the islanders.
The president holds that where such a re.
sponsibility exists there co.exists with it the
authority to regulate, protect and enforce that
responsibility. Mr.. Bryan, equally conceding the
responsibility, denies that there is, or ought to
be, any such authority in the United States.
The president is, and for many months has
been, manfully at work establishing a stable
government That he would long ago have had
a greater measure of success but for the encoui-
| agemcnt of the insurgents by the Leversons,
Schurzes and Bryans cannot fairly he doubted.
That government being established upon the
lines which the president has sedulously copied
from the prccedents of jefferson in Louisiana
and Jackson in Florida organized territories
and states may be formed out of the islands
whenever the congress shall decide that fitness
is shown.
The president holds that under the constitution
the federal government has plenary authority to
govern all territories; the words Of the constitu
tion are clear and absolute on that point. Also,
that responsibility without authority is worse
than mere mockery. Mr.. Bryan threatens, il

that he may exercise responsibility without

stable government Does he believe they have
more capacity to do such a great thing than

half OF our country, is now doing that very
thing. Then, says MIR. Bryan, 81 will give them
independence" Does he mean absolute indie
pendence and sovereignty, does he mean the
same limited independence that satisfies the state
OF New York; Why should we give to these
islanders the absolute independence which we
refused to the southern statesH refusal which
was enforced by the greatest of all civil wars.
After giving this absolute independence TO the

~ to prevent periodical indus
< " trial depression by taking
the tariff and money ques-
tions out of politics has been issued
hy Hon. c. G. Conn, Of Elkhart, Ind,
the former Democratic congressman
from that district who has surrendered
a proposed vacation trip to Europe
to combat the Bryan menace of free
silver coinage. In the appeal he says:
THE complications, controversies,
and probable loss of trade incident to
the pending political campaign natur-
ally prompt thinking people to ask
what can be done to protect business
interests from meddlesome politics.
The problem that cOnfronts the coun-
try is to find n way 10 prevent periods
of distress and to establish our finan-
cial and industrial affairs on a safe
and permanent basis. This should be
done by business men because of their
peculiar fitness for such an undertake
ing. The tariff and money questions
belong to the business world. They
are prime factors in regulating the
pay of wage earners, and in fixing the
prices Of everything bought and sold,
and their Importance in influencing the
steady upward tendency of business
grnwth demands that they be treated
as business propositions.
'tThe appointment of a nOn-partisan
tariff commission consisting of experts
aaHactad from, 1Iffarapt brancbas Of the
business world would take the tariff
out of politics and correct its present
inaccuracies, The duty of such a COM
mission would be to revise the various
schedules in strict accord with busi-
ness principles. The comparative cost
of production between this and other
countries would be carefully consid-
cred, and due attention given to the
preservation of our present wage scale.
In preparing the levy, the commission
would ascertain the cost of producing
commodities controlled by trusts. and
when their selling prices were un-
reasonable and, burdensome, foreign
competition would be permitted to en-
ter our markets, and lessen the cost
TO consumers. The 'cofrh+iisson should
also be empowered to employ our con-
sular service as commercial agents and
to publish bulletins at stated interval:
showing the condition of trade
throughout the world, and advising
producers where they could find profit
able markets.
"It Is understood, of course, that q
tariff commission could act only as q
clerical agent for congress. It could
have no authority beyond the prepara,
ion Of the various schedules. and tn,

HE COMMON SENSE of the
strike question is very plain
Il to all who want to see 1t.
At best q strike means idle
ness, loss of wages, anxiety in the
home and maybe permanent loss of
employment and the community with
a strike on its hands can account
itself lucky if it gets through without
scenes of violence.
The coal operator, it is true, loses
also. He loses what profit there is in
the orderly operation of his business;
he loses from depreciation Of plant
while idle: he loses to the extent that
rival interests, for example, soft coal
interests, take advantage of his
troubles to get possession Of his GUS
toners. But his coal, his machinery,
his plant remain; when the trike is
over he can resume.
Then there is the community in gen.
eral. 1t is the first to feel the i'll ef-
fects of strike talk and the last to
recover from them. When there is
talk of strike the merchant does not
buy large lots of goods; the men in
tending to build homes or shops or
new factories hold back; enterprise in
it's various forms halts like the out
going ship in the harbor which sees
the storm signal flying. This reaches
and in some measure affects, every
man, woman and child. After the
strike is over, there are it's debts tc
pay. These all have to be made good
before the community can resume the
even tenor of it's way.
There has never been strike in our
mines in which the men made as much
as they lost, not to speak Of the con-
tingent losses of others. Experience
therefore, is against a strike at this
time or at any time. Let us hope that
its teachings will not be disregarded.
