OUR TWO PRESIDENTS.
The Difference Between Mckinley
Personal and OmciaI Senti-
nents

There is something revolving to the
human conscience, after all, in the APP
peals that are being made by certain
newspapers. urging the republican
senators to stand by the official presi-
dent in his recommendation of plain
duty in the matter of free trade with
Porto Rico, to the utter exclusion of
the personal factor of the president
pleading with members of the house
Of Representatives to act in diametric
opposition to his own advice. While
a loophcle of escape is offered him,
in his official capacity, one which it is
to be hoped for the honor of the coun-
try, Will be taken advantage of, there is
suggestion of meanness, of base be-
trayal about it, of men who resigned
their own convictions, and violated the
wishes of their constituents, at his au-
gust intercession. Not that they are
entitled TO any special sympathy. Men
capable of betraying the public trust,
of violating their oath of office, in def
erence to the wishes of any potentate
or power, are consigned to ignominy
by universal verdict, but there has al
ways been recognized such virtue to
exist as honor among thieves. Is the
president of the United States willing
to take shelter behind such flimsy
differentiation between himself in his
official utterances and himself in per-
sonal. pleading colloquies? Is he capa-
BILE of such lightning transforma-
ton from the clearsighted head of a
nation to the farsighted head Of
party providing against contingencies
of individual peril? The presidential
office has been sullied by acts of usur-
patton of power or dereliction of duty
before, beyond doubt, but has ever
such spectacle of paltry meanness
been presented by the chief of great
government?

The Porto Rico bill asst has become
law is a very different thing from the
bill that was brought into congress.
1t was whitfield down and carved out
until only q skeleton Of the original
thing remained. But there is left what
all the trusts, all the jobbers and spec
uIators and franchise grabbers at
Washington tried so hard TO retain
namely, the proclamation of the SUI
premacy of congress over the constitu-
ton. 1t does not matter that the rate
of Gust oms duties is made Is per cent.
of the Dingley schedules instead of 25
per cent. 1t does not matter that
period of two years is set for the op-
Grafton of this tariff, instead of making
it perpetual. It does not matter that
the revenues thus obtained are to he
used to pay the charges of government
in Porto Rico. None of these things
count against the fact that this law as
sumes to set congress above the con-
stitution. This is the worst feature of
the whole business. 1t alleges the
right of congress TO go outside the con-
stitution. the creature to dominate it's
creator. 1t asserts the right of con-
gress to erect a tariff wall against
trade between parts of the territory of
The United States.-Boston Post.

Let the free traders stand to

by its multitude of misdeeds the
party of Imperialism, of trusts, of
martial law. of violated pledges and
broken faith, had already dug its

only added depth to the hole in which
it will be buried by betrayed and in
dignant people. Nothing remains for

Kansas City Times.
The leaders of the republican
party in Washington believe that the
interest taken in the question of the
Porto Rican tariff will die out rapid
ly and that the issue will not have
much effect, in any case, in Novem-
Der. If they are right, the action of
congress will not be vindicated on
that account. IF they are wrong, the
work finished yesterday will be sore
ly regretted by the men who did 1t.

course followed has been unwise and
bad, both in politics and public NOR

REPUBLICAN EGGS.
Some That the People VIII Not BE
In a Very Great Hurry
to Sample.

The New York Journal finds in the
Porto Rico business, a whole nest of
republican eggs, which it says the peo-
pie are not likely to sample until they
find out how long they will keep fresh.
These eggs are catalogued as follows:
1. "It is our plain duty to give Porto
Rico free trade."-Fresh, December z;
spoiled, January s.
2. The tobacco and beet sugar trusts
demanding protection against Porto
Rican competition, Chairman Payne
withdrew ''plain duty" bill, substitute
ing one levying duties beth ways
Fresh, January s; spoiled, January 81.
3. The president is the real author of
the new tariff bill. The sugar and
tobacco trust didn't worry him, but
the constitution had to be kept out of
Porto Rico lest it sneak into the Phil
ippines.-Fresh, January 81; spoiled,
February %.
4. The actual author of the tariff bill
is Secretary Root, who got it up when
Mark Hanna wasn't looking. Neither
the trusts nor the constitution wor-
ried him; he did what the president
told him to do.-Fresh, February IS;
spoiled, April 2.
5. The genuine, only author and dis
coverer of the tariff bill is Governor
General Davis. The Porto Ricans were
unhappy, he said, and he was asked to
get up something to make them happy.
He Immediately did so with Is per
cent. tariff and Dingley rates.-Fresh
April 2; just beginning to turn now.
There are several other eggs to be
added to this batch to make up a good
setting. They are not the very choicest
delicatessen, but the administration
hopes they viii go down easily when
taste for them has been acquired.

tmpedfment to rmperiaIisrn.

The trouble with this policy of i'm
perialism is that the United States
have a constitution. given to the people
by their forefathers as the fruit of
their struggle for freedom. The people
have learned to revere and to love this
constitution and they love and revere
it no less because a policy of imperial
ism cannot be grated upon it. Up-to-
date apostles of imperialism may laugh
and ieer at the United States constitu-
ton; they may pooh-pooh it as out of
date and old fogyish, but it is dear to
the hearts of the American people
young and old-and it stands with
them for all that is highest and purest
and best in national life.-St. Paul
Globe.

POISON OF IMPERIALISM.
PerversiOn Of Patriotism and Loss of
Political SaGacity and
VeracitS.

Prof. Joseph Fl. Crooker. of Ann Ar
pine situation, published in the
Springfield Republican. refers to the
poison of imperialism engendered by
cur falling away from first principles,
thus:
Among the many bad things bound UP
with this unfortunate business none IS
worse than the degradation of AnertcG,
sure to follow in more ways than one. if
we persist in the course that we now
following. No stronger or sadder proof of
the unwise and harmful character of this
policy is needed than the fact that its de-
tenders are Leo so quickly to part company
with sober argument and truthful state
ment and rush into virulent abuse and de-
ceptive sophistries. Who would have be-
lieved two years ago that any sane man
would have appealed to Washington IN
support of policy so abhorrent to the IA
Their of his country? What ignoble unVer-
acity in twisting his words into the APP
prevail of foreign conquest! Who would
have thought it possible that scholars and
statesmen would so soon become mere
jugglers with words, pretending that our
previous territorial expansion furnishes
analogy and warrant for a colonial sys-
tenn far across the ocean, entered upon by
warfare and maintained by congress with
out constitutional safeguards. These facts
show how virulent a poison is at work
upon the national mind. We have here al
ready a porversion of patriotism and
loss of poi: teal sagacity and veracity.
cit is bad enough to hear men eXclaim:
There is money in it and that is suf-
ficient'-but national venture that leads
men to scott at the declaration OF inde-
pendence, to ridicule the constitution as
outgrcwn, to denounce the wisdom of the
fathers as foolishncss, ard to declare that
American glory dates from Manila bay.
Is there not something olGlinous in such
talk? If a brief experience in the eXpan-
sion of America that SCOTS at American
principles produces such results, is 1t not
time to sound the alarm? If the defense
of policy compels meE to take such posi-
tons, there is something infinitely danger

IT IS CONSUMMATED.
Honor, Justice and Equity Trampled
Under Foot by a Trust
Congress.

The Porto Rican tariff bill infamy
has passed the United States senate
and house, and now, according to SEN
stor Davis, the Porto Ricans are as
sured of free rum and taxed bread"
The victory was not overwhelming,
but it was enough to demonstrate that
the government of the nation and the
welfare of its people are at the mercy
of the trusts. 1t was a victory for the
sugar and tobacco trusts, vindica-
ton of the course of Mark Hanna, the
trust leader, the elimination of the
reign of corruption and the apothesis
of the money power. 1t stamps TIE
seal of utter incompetency upon the
Mckinley administration and betrays
the untrustworthiness of the repub-
lican party.
1t was amusing to hear Depew,
Spooner, Cullom and the others charge
the trusts with seeking to defeat the
bill and secure free trade. All the
more amusing when everybody knows
that the only lobby in Washington
since the Porto Rican matter came up
was headed by Henry Oxnard, of the
sugar trust, who fought for the tariff
bill, and even influenced the president
himself to abandon his conscientious
convictions of plain duty. The reck-
oning must now be made with the peo-
pie. They will see the spector of
betrayal stalk among them as warm
ing against their own betrayal by the
same influences that haze controlled.
and do now control, a republican adj
and hold the republican
party in its grasp.

The protective argument is nom
sense in the case of Porto Rico. The
constitutional argument is advanced
by those men only who neglect to ex-
plain why all that they profess to de-
sire could not have been accomplished
equally well by granting free trade
and denying that it was granted as
constitutional right. Why congress
should have passed the tariff bill, de-
spite SO many protests, is something
incomprehensible. The leaders of the
party in congress may have had good
reasons for their course, but it is plain
that not one of them has seen fit pub
licly to give these reasons in an in
telligible manner. = Milwaukee Sem

The interstate commerce commits
sion has been Distinguishing itself by
actively lobbying for the passage of
bill, which will largely increase its
powers. This bill has not attraatsd
much attention, but it is regarded as
rather a suspicious feature that GER

it. There is more than hint that the
railway combinations think they see
chance to control the interstate COM

existing inocuous law can be amended
