Atlanta (Ga.), May 3o.-Govenor
Gambler reviewed a company of negro
troops on the Capitol grounds here
to-day, following the inspection by an
unusual address.
He said in part: | am proud to say
that can call upon you in time of in
vasion or trouble, and 1 know that you
would respond as quickly and with the
same spirit as the white troops. The
significance Of this day National
Memorial day should not befOrgotten.
ltis not such day as has been taught
you by scheming politicians, but for the
remembrance OF the heroes who
fought for the cause they thought was
right In the early days, when your
hone and mine had to be defended
from the invader, We depended on our
citizen soldiers, such as you are. 1t IS
not the regular army that's to be de
pended upon. 1t IS such soldiers as
you.
The address made profound i'm
preston on the negroes, and IS being
favorably discussed by other members
ofthier race here tonight.

The Chicago Journal has cores

ing of the large Negro population OF
Washington he accounts for it like
this:
II is the winter quarters many thous-

spring begin their exodus in Northern
watering places and TO Virginia and
MARYLAND summer resorts. The cost
of living for colored people in Wash

Well, now the editor of The World
lived for a while in Washington, and
the conclusion he reached with regard
TO the large negro population and cost
OF living was that there was large
contingent there because they were
too poor TO get away-the walking

that they were kept poor by the hlgh

ciprocity must command our hearty sun
port The phenomenal growth of our
export trade emphasizes the urgency of
the need for wider markets and for =
liberal policy in dealing with foreign ma
tions. Whatever is merely petty and
vexatious in the way CT trade restrictions
should be avoided. The customers to
whom we dispose of our surplus products
IN the long run, directly or indirectly,
purchase those surplus products by Civ
ing us something in return Their ability
to purchase our products should as far
as possible be secured By so arranging
our tariff as to enable us to take from
them those products which we can use
without harm to our own industries AID
labor, or the use of which will be of
marked benefit to u.s.
1t is most important that we should
maintain the high level of our present
prosperity We have now reached the
point in the development OF our interests
where we are not only able to supply our
own markets but to produce a constantly
growing surplus for which we must find
markets abroad. To secure these mar
kets we can utilize existing duties in
any case where they are no longer needed
for the purpose of protection or in any
case where the article is not produced
here and the duty is no longer necessary
for revenue, as giving us something to Of
fer in exchange for what we ask. The
cordial relations with other nations which
are so desirable will naturally be lromo
ted by the course thus required by our
own interests.
The natural line Of development tor
policy of reciprocity will be in connec-
tion with those of our productions which
no longer require all of the support once
needed to establish them upon sound
basis, and with those others where either
because of natural or of economic causes
we are beyond the reach of successful
competition.

The Tariff and Reciprocity.

There is general acquescence in our
present tariff system as national policy
Inc hrst requisite to our prosperity is
the continuity and stability of this eco
nomlc policy. Nothing could be more un-
wise than to disturb the business inter
ests of the country by any general tariff
change at this time. Doubt, apprehen-
sion, uncertainty are exactly what we
most wish to avoid in the interest of our
commercial and material well-being. Our
experience in the past has shown that
sweeping reviSions of the tariff are apt
to produce conditions closely approach
ing panic in the business world. Yet it
is not only possible but eminently de-
sirable, to combine with the stability of
our economic system a supplementary
system of reciprocal benefit and obli-
cation with other nations. Such reciproc-
ity is an incident and result of the firm
establishment and preservation of our
present economic policy. 1t was specially
provided for in the present tariff law.
Reciprocity must be treated as the
handmaiden of protection Our first duty
is to see that the protection granted by
the tariff in every case where it is need
ed is maintained, and that reciprocity be
sought for SO far as it can safely be
done without injury to our home indus
tries. Just how far this is must be de-
termined according to the individual case,
remembering always that every applica-
tion of our tariff policy to meet our shift
ing national needs must be conditioned
upon the cardinal fact that the duties
must never be reduced below the point
that will cover the difference between the
labor cost here and abroad. The we'll
being of the wage worker IS a prime con
sderation of our entire policy OF eco
nomic legislation
Subject to this proviso OF the proper
protection necessary TO our industrial
we'll being at home, the principle OF re-

defective. hose who complain of the
established rates are not maintained;
that rebates and similar devices are ha
bitually resorted to: that these prefer
enceS are usually in favor of the large
shipper; that they drive out of business
the smaller competitor; that While many
rates are too low, many others are eX-
cessiVe; and that gross preferences are
made, affecting both localities and COM
modities. Upon the other hand, the rail-
ways assert that the law by its very
terms tends to prouce many of these ille-
gal practices by depriving carriers of that
right of concerted action which they
claim is necessary to establish and
maintain non discriminating rates.
The act should be amended The rail-
way is public servant. It's rates should
be just to and open to all shippers alike.
The Government should see to it that
within it's jurisdiction this is so and
should provide a speedy, inexpensive
and effective remedy to that end. AT
the same time it must not be forgotten
through which the commercial lifeblood
of this nation flows. Nothing could be
more foolish than the enactment of Leg
islation which would necessarily inter-
fere with the development and opera
ton of these commercial agencies. The
subject is one of great Importance and
calls for the earnest attention of the

Department of Agriculture

The Department of Agriculture during
the past fifteen years has steadily broad
ened its work on economic lines, and has
accomplished results of real value in up
building domestic and foreign trade 1t
has gone into new fields until it is now
in touch with all sections of our country
and with two of the island groups that
have lately come under our jurisdiction,
whose people must look to agriculture
as a livelihood. 1t is searching the
world for grains, grasses, fruits, and
vegetables specially fitted for introduce
ton into localities in the several States
and territories where they may add ma
terially to our resources. BY scientific
attention to soil survey and possible new
crops, to- breeding of new varieties of
plants, to experimental shipments, to an
imal industry and applied chemistry,
very practical aid has been given our
farming and stock growing interests.
The products of the farm have taken an
unprecedented place in our export trade
during the year that has just closed.
Public opinion through the United
States has moved steadily toward just
appreciation of the value of forests,
whether planted or of natural growth.
The great part played by them in the
creation and maintenance of the national
wealth is now more fully realized than
ever before.

The Money Standard.

The Act of March IA, 1900 intended I'M
equlvocally to establish gold as the stand

herewith all forms of money medium in

and judicious. The price of our Govern
ment bonds in the worlds market when
compared with the price of similar obli-

flattering tribute to our public credit This
condition it is evidently desirable to
maintain
In many respects the National Bank
ing Law furnishes sufficient liberty for
the proper exercise of the banking func-
ton; but there seems to be need of bet
ter safeguards against the deranging in

country should be made responsive to the

Interstate Commerce Act.

In 1887 a measure was enacted for the
regulation of Interstate railways, COM
monty known as the Interstate Commerce
Act. The cardinal provisions of that act
were that railway rates should be just
and reasonable and that all shippers To-
calities, and commodities should be ac-
corded equal treatment. A commission
was created and endowed with what were
supposed to be the necessary powers to
execute the provisions of this act.
That law was largely an experiment.
Experience has shown the wisdom of its
purposes, but has also shown, possibly
that some of it's requirements are
wrong. certainly that the means devised
for the enforcement of its provisions are
