What Is the Duty For?

The American people were taxed a
cent and half a pound to establish
tin plate industry for the benefit Of
American labor. Then the manufacture
ers brought over Welsh workmen TO
make the tin plate. or the ground that
American workmeu did not know how.
Now the Welsh workmen are out on
strike, the mills are closed. and the
steel trust, which has absorbed the tin
plate trust. is importing plates from
Wales Ia fill its orders. Is it not about
time for that duty to come off?-Chi-

The Demand for Thrift Reform.

There will be an effort 1T the next ses-
sion Of Congress to change the tariff
and it will be vigorously resisted. This
movement is in the Republican party.
While it does not proceed wholly on
sectional lines. the demand for tariff
changes and commercial treaties is
strongest il the West. while in the
East the resistance plants itself on the
existing law as tile best thing that

Renr1,1icans and the Negro.

ReDub1fcans and the Negro.
When the Democrats Of Maryland
made the race question an issue in the
pending campaign the Republican press
of the North protested with vigOr and
gave the impression that the Republi-
can convention would accept the chal-
Ienge. The party which has never neg
Iected an opportunity to proclaim its
disinterested love of the negro might in
truth have been expected to rally to his
defense when the Democrats Of Mary
land made him an issue. Not so, how.
ever. In the course of a long and tire
some platform lauding all things Re-
publican and denouncing all things
Democratic, these so-called Republican
friends Of the negro did not find space
for a syllable Of protest.
On. shade Of the fallen, oh, genius sub
lime.
Great friend of the negro from Africa's
cline;
Alas, how low he lies!
While the Republican papers Of the
North were dancing the Old Republican
Jig upon the grave Of secession and
waving the bloody shirt with accus-
toned vigor, their party on the scene
of conflict, with characteristic coward
ice, refused TO burden itself with the
defense of negro suffrage. But for the
purpose If justifying the ludicrOus
hypocrisy of Northern Republicans in
the North the chairman Of the conven-
fiOn, in his speech, dropped generalities
for a moment to give one weak, limping
paragraph to the negro question. By
merely stating that the negro popula-
ton of Maryland is not sufficiently
large to endanger white domination he
Justified white people Of other States,
in which the conditions were reversed,
in their discrimination against the
blacks. This Republican of Maryland,
then, takes issue with the Republicans
of the North, who delOunce disfran-
chisement under all circumstances. 1t
Is really too bad that the Southern Re
pubIcans cannot rise to the level of
their Northern brethren.
The Maryland Republicans then adj
NIT their impOtency in this matter. The
Louisville COurier-Journal, always
trustworthy concerning local political
conditions in the South, declares edito-
rally:
''The Republicans in Maryland have
evidently been content to assume mere
oppOrtunist positions. They have not
the courage Of their convictions. They
have made bad use Of the power which
they obtained by Democratic divisions,
and their object is to obscure the real
issues in the hope of retaining some
Democratic votes. In this respect tie
resemblance between the plan Of cam
paign in Maryland and in Kentucky
will not escape attention. In both
States it is to the interest of the people
TO intrust the management of their af-
fairs to the party which, everything
considered, represents the better ele-
ments of the population.
If the truth and the whole truth were
only known it would show that the race
problem is sectional and not political.
The Republican party has never dared
to go to the defense of the negro in the
Southern States. Why? Because ii
would lose votes Thus we have Re-
publican cowardice xpOsed.-Indian-

Convenient Corncrib.

sketch of a corncrib which is very pop

corn is to be stored, and this central
part comes handy as a place in which

The Phi1innine Government.

ne
The five American members OF the
commission, with three natives, con-
stitute the legislative department Of the
government. They are all appointed
from Washington That is neither self
government nor a step in that direction.
But the Philippine legislature is not
elected by the people. nor are the peo-
pie consulted in its appointment, nor
are natives given a majority in its
membership, nor can the people dis
place it and elect others. The plan is
just as far away from self-Government
as was the Spanish rule. 1t is, in form,
exactly the same despotism.
The financial report from the Islands
shows that we have taken out of them
the same taxes as Spain did, $100OO,OOO
a year. SO in denial of self-government
and burden of taxation they are just
where they were when DR.. Rial and
AguinaIdo made their fist stand for
freedom in 1896. They cannot effect
uaIly reach the source of the laws that
govern them any more now than they
could when Weyler was the captain
general.
1t is necessary to say these things in
order that our own people may not de-
ceive themselves as to the problem in
the islands 1t is not solved by the
present scheme of government, nor by
the cessation of armed resistance in
many of the provinces. Let the truth
be told and appreciated. Our govern
ment in the Philippines is purely auto
cratic. with no popular feature in it,.

press considered the organization Of 4
lines, but their formation has become
so commonplace of late that no espe-
cial notice is taken. The prospects are
that within short time majority Of
the railroads will be consolidated I'M
der one management. When the trust
element has secured control of the
transportation facilities-and such is
it's intention-the business man and
farmer will be completely subservient
to its will. The people are confronted
with one or two alternatives. Either
they must find some method whereby
the trust may be eradicated, or they
must acquiesce in the destruction Of
their industrial liberty.
Considering the intelligence of the
American people, we are justified in
the inference that they prefer the Grad
ication of the evil to it's acceptance.
The question then occurs: To what
source shall they look for the means for
its eradication?
There is absolutely no hope from the
Republican party. The trust principle,
after ali, is but the Republican princi-
pie applied to economics. 1t has devel-
Oped during the period of Republican
supremacy and largely as the result Of
Republican legislation. No serious eff
fort has ever been made to retard its
progress. On the contrary, every effort
in that direction has beer resented by
the Republican machine.
The socialists represent the very op-
posite extreme. Their solution would
completely revolutionize society. There
is reason to believe that the remedy
would be as bad as the disease. The
Socialist convention of last week
clearly demonstrated the incapacity Of
the Socialists as a reform party.
If any solution is to be offered, it
must emanate from the Democratic
party. By It's very nature it is opposed
to the trust principIe-that of cOncen-
tration. 1t has the conservatism Of
sanity and is as radical as justice. 1t
has received no tribute from the trusts
and has no debts TO pay. 1t is free to
act.
Thus the hope Of the nation depends
upon the possibility of Democratic sue
cess before these abnormal mOnOpOlies
become too firmly imbeddcd in law and
precedent One of the most prominent
planks of the next Democratic platform
will promise salutary legislation along
this line. There viii be no reason to
doubt the sincerity of the declaration.
And if intrusted with the government
of the nation there will be every reason
to hope for the eradication of all com
bnations which have for their purpose
the destruction of competition.-Indian-

Growing Tomatoes.
Nick's Magazine, which is very good
authority upon gardening as well ms
florists business, says that Professor
Nussey formerly entertained the opin.
ion that heavy applications of nitro
genous manures for tomatoes made the
vines too rank and the fruit crooked
but now he thinks that if the strain OF
seed is good no amount of mahurina
will make it more irregular in FORM
and that rank growth Of vine means
that they will need more room and pro
duce a larger crop of large tomatoes
He believes that seed from small fruits
will produce small fruit, and the, re-
verse; that training to a single stem re-
suits in less number of blossoms less
pollen and a smaller crop, while the
largest crops are on the plants that are
allowed to develop naturally, and fruit
on healthy plants lying on the ground
is no more liable to rot than that OH It
Like Indian corn the tomato produces
best when the seed is grown in the
same climate and latitude where the
crop is to be grown, and to take it Far
north or south is to prevent it from do
ing its best. If this is so the gardener
will do well to save his own seed from
his largest tomatoes, which is a very
simple matter.

THE tariff duties per capita last year
amounted to but s30l. Even if the tariff
were tax on the consumer. which ii has
been conclusively proved not TO be, in
the vast majority of cases, this would be
a small amount to pay for the inestima-
BILE benefits, for the unparalleled pros
perity which the people of this country
have enjoyed under the Dingley law.
We have a surplus instead OF a deficit,
and that, too, in time Of war. American
factories have been crowded with orders,
labor has been everywhere employed at
high wages, and the supply of men at
work has fallen short of the demand for
workmen. An immense balence of trade
has been rolled up in our favor, the
United States has been changed from a
debtor nation into creditor nation, and
New York has been made the financial
centre of the world. The old time and
well known free trade cry about the
burden" which protective tariff lays
upon the people of this country has new
er been more thoroughly discredited
than il is to-day y.-American Economist.
