BEGINNING OF THE FIGHT.



In the movement of certain high
protectionist leaders in congress to
bring about a reorganization of n
house ways and can committee
which will eliminate Representative
Rabcock from hat committee there
is proof of the exceeding improbable
ity of honest tariff revision under
Hanna control, says the st. Louis Re
public.
This movement against Babcock, in
retaliation for his aggressive efforts
in behalf of a general revision of the
existing tariff, will have effects
reaching beyond the representative
thus TO be punished. Notice is there
by served on all republicans who dare
to oppose the sacred" principles of
high protection that they will be
summarily dealt with. They cannot
hope for the distinction of place on
the more important congressional
committees. They will be degraded
and belittled in every way possible to
the dominant protectionists. The
wires will be laid for their defeat
in the next congressional elections ii
this is within the power of the trusts
ana the trust Instruments.
There is an element of strength be-
hind these tariff revision republicans,
however, which the proteetionistsI are
failing to take int account. The rank
and file of republican voters have had
their eyes opened to the bunko ma
ture of a high protective tariff. Men
like Babcock are not leading the sem
timent of their constituencies when
they fight for tariff reduction. They
are following hat sentiment. Re-
publicans of the middle west espe-
cially demand a revision of the tariff.
The developments of the approach
ing session of congress will amply
prove the truth of this assertion.
There should be some significant
news from Washington during the
progress of this session.
Also, there should be much excel
lent campaign material manufactured
for the profit of the movement in IA
vor of tariff revision. The protec-
zionist tools of the trusts in the pres
ent congress may succeed in prevent
ing tariff reduction by throwing down
the gage of battle to the revisionists
and using the power of the trusts to
disarm or utterly crush them, but
this prevention will be in
deed. The congressional elections Of
1902 are destined to be disastrous to
the syndicates and to syndicate
henchmen in the national congress.
Tariff revision, coupled with the
trust issue proper. is an exceedingly
vital issue. American sentiment de-
mands the reduction of the tariff and
the restriction of the trusts under
competent governmental supervision.

The interest in the new house, at
first simulated, soon became gen.

wishes were well formulated, and on
a mild day that gave treacherous
promise of spring, Letitia started for
the city to engage an architect. The
journey was short, and, in a brief
time, she found herself whisked aloft
in an elevator and deposited at the
door of "R. Ellsworth, Architect"
this particular person having been
recommended by a friend of her ia
Their. Feeling somewhat nervous at
the magnitude of her undertaking,
Letitia timidly knocked. A chair
grated on the floor within and when
the door opened a young man, with
quiet bearing but alert glance, bowed
gravely to her.

coming grave, gave him a clear ac-
count of what she wished.
When Mr.. Ellsworth submitted the
plans to the Harlows, all misgivings
that Letitia might have harbored
vanished.
In April the ground was broken,
and through the fair spring days and

merrily on. All Letitia's spare mo-

Letitia looked somewhat surprised
at this view of the question. She had
not dreamed hat there could be OBJ
jections to such a delightful project.
"Oh, if you and mother would not
like it," she began, trying to speak
easily.
Her mother heard the CULVER of
disappointment. Like it?" she said,
briskly. "Who said we wouldn't like

POINTED

--Republican discussion of the
tariff issue in the approaching ses-
sion of congress must logically be of
the greatest democratic benefit.-St.
Louis Republic.
The rapidity with which Nicely
is being punished is only equalled by
the celebrity with which the Philip
pine insurrection is being suppressed.
Indianapolis Sentinel.
The stubborn resistance offered
by the high protectionists in congress
to the modification of the tariff, by
revision or by reciprocity treaties,
does not alter the fact, as stated by
Mr.. Mckinley a Buffalo, that we can
not expect to sell all the time and
never buy. - Minneapolis Journal
(Rep.).
The souther California fruit ex-
change has adopted a formal protest
against the whole reciprocal idea. The
republican politicians are tolerably
expert in reconciling conflicting opin-
ions, but how they are to satisfy the
low tariff republicans, and at the
same time avoid alternating the "pro-
tected interests" passes comprehen-
sion. Even reciprocity, as an empty
name, arouses suspicion and hostil-
ity from the benefciaries of D~inpley-
ism.-A1bany Argus.
There are tariff taxes which
ought to be reduced. They are not
needed for the protection of any in
terest. They simply enable the
trusts to take higher prices in the
home market than they get in for
eign markets. The republican party.
however, is the friend of trusts, and
as long as it can assist them it will
do SO. No tariff legislation need be
expected from this congress-. The
surplus will be gotten rid of in some
other way.-Savannah News.
As long as Great Britain holds
on to free trade the British public
will not suffer to any great extent by
combinations of manufacturers. If
the latter raise prices TO a high level
our American trusts may come to the
relief of British consumers. That is
one substantial advantage which
the Englishman has over the Amer
lean. In the United States the trusts
are practically without competition,

A SPANISH FLOWER.
This Is the Name of an nan
Worn at the Back of Ladies'
Belts.

Of all odd flowers the Spanish rose
Is the oldest. To begin with it isn't
a flower at all; secondly, it is not the
color OF a flower. But it is of Span
ish origin and is pretty, %perfumed
and practical, and so it will be worn.
To make it o take a strip of
white satin ribbon and border it
with narrow bands of dark satin
ribbons, say in deep rose color. Then
you shir it and gather it in the mid
die to make a round wheel-like orna-
ment.
Now comes the oriental part of the
work, the part calling for nice work.
Into the middle of this shirred wheel
of ribbon there must be set a small
artificial flower to harmonic with
the ribbon. A crepe poppy docs
nicely and has a vivid Spanish look.
A rose is also pretty, set in the
heart of a silk wheel. ANY soft,
creepy flower will do, says a fashion
authority.
If preferred a bit of silky crepe
can be shirred and set into the mid
die of the wheel so as to look like
the heart of a flower.
She who is making the Spanish
flower" can experiment a little and
can be pretty sure of getting good
results if she will select her colors
well and choose a pretty heart.
1t is very pretty to fasten 'one of
these at the very back of the stockto
conceal the hooks and eyes. Or, used
upon the belt, N makes a very nice
finish. The belt one may be a little
larger.
This is one of those ornaments
that requires the utmost n~eatness.
1t must be shirred with great care
and the flower fastened in the mid
die. so tina it will not look ragged
around the edges.
Blue flowers, possible and impossi-
BILE, are popular this season, and if
the Spanish flower" be carried out
in blue the heart can be of any sort
of a small flower. even to a tiny
bunch of forget-me-nots, nesting in
chiffon, while the outside is of silk
trimmed with hands of darker blue
satin.

THERE ARE VARIOUS THEORIES
A Full Treasury and h Probability
of a Reduction of Tax
alton.

When congress assemblies next
month it will be confronted with a
condition and with several theories
The condition is an annual surplus
! of $3.50, o00, 600. The theories relate
to its prevention or disposal, says the
New York World.
A considerable number of men in
office favor the shortest and easiest
way of dealing with the su~rplus-that
is, spending it. Spending other peo-
pies money is always an agreeable
occupation to the average politician.
There are ways enough, of course.
Ship subsidies, an isthmian canal,
more pensions, bigger river and har-
boz appropriations and new public
buildings to reflect congressman, can
easily absorb the surplus. But there
are important elections in nearly all
the states ley year, and the wise
and prudent leaders of the party in
power do not look with favor upon a
new carnival of extravaganza.
These men, with the president at
their head. are likely to recommend
a further reduction of the war taxes.
But what are the war taxes?
bAAN wa W. tiR AAA0l =
gan, 40 years ago, the average tariff
was about % per cent. Under the
stress for revenue, and to c~ounterbal-
ance internal taxes on manufactures,
the average duty was raised to so or
50 per cent. At the end of the war
internal taxes, mainly upon wealth
and yielding $500, 000, 900 a year, were
one after the other repealed. But
now, though infant industries
are 40 years older, the tariff taxes
are still up to the highest point OF
war taxation.
When the war with Spain made
more revenue necessary internal taxes
were again voted. Last year, when
the surplus became troublesome, a
part of these taxes was repealed.
And now it is proposed by the rerub-
lican leaders still further to reduce
the taxes on whisky. beer and to-
bacco-vices or indulgences which all
civilized governments make the ba-
sis of their revenue-and to leave un-
touched the worse than war taxes on
the ne~cessaries of the people, their
food, fuel, clothing and shelter;
taxes, too, which promote monopo-
lies and permit their beneficiaries to
sell cheaper in foreign markets than
to home
This would be better than to con-
tinue taxation for a surplus or for
extravaganza. But is it just? Is it
statesmanlike? Is it safe in a coun-
try where, after all, the people rule?
The policy of protection will ul-
timately strangle itself. The domes-
tic market will not suffice; the for
eign market must be entered, and vet
we shall not be able to get the bene-
fits of the foreign markets without
free, or freer, exchange. We cannot
continue to sell commodities abroad
in large quantities unless we onsen
to take commodities from abroad in
return-Portland Oregonian.
The fact that there Is too much
o in the national treasury does
not p~erceptibly 4jar" Mr.. Hanna. He
says hal he will help to spend some
of it. This remark of Uncle Marks
recalls Daniel Webster's offer to pay
the national debt, because it is so
different.-Albany Argus.
