THE POPULAR OPINION.

At a committee meeting yesterday the
last speech of the late President was al
luded to rs an illustration of the happy
capacity of Mr.. Mckinley to put so much
in so limited space and yet to say all that
is necessary. One of those present at
tracted attention by saying II wish that he
had never made the speech" There was
an expression OF surprise as if the speaker
had reference to the matter of the speech.
He explained that he meant that his wish
was that the late President had not gone
TO Buffalo. AS for the views set forth in
the speech, he expressed the opinion that
the policy outlined is that which the
Presidents party must pursue. That view
of it met the approval of all present.
This conversation is referred to as an
indication of opinion of intelligent men,
particularly of the Presidents party and
of those who are pleased to call themselves
Independents. Ii senators and representa-
tives OF the late Presidents party would
take the trouble to go out among their in
teIligent constituents and ask and get their
views instead OF declaring what must, or,
rather what must not be done, they would
be surprised TO discover that most of them
are in hearty accord with the views set
forth in Mr. McKinley's last great speech.
1t may he added that, with the last utter
ance of the dead leader in the minds of his
party. it will not be wise for few men,
or even any considerable number of men,
To declare that the men who oppose a
progressive tariff policy must be politically
ostracised, or TO assume the part of dicta-
tors, a few have already done. The
general commerce Of the country with the
world must not be impeded in the supposed
interest of a few branches of industry.
When il comes To making a trade treaty
with Cuba. for instance. the islands prod
ucts must have that advantage which. by
a reciprocal arrangement. will give us the
general trade of Cuba. That is the dec
laration Of the late President in his last
ufferauCP

the executive was given authority to sell
the property. The prosperity of the coun-
try gave the Pacific roads an increased
value which compelled the companies TO
pay all that the government had invested
within a few million dollars. If the COM
panies had not responded, other capitalists
would have taken the property. Since that
transaction the Pacific railroads have had
no Hobbies in Washington. They are indie
pendent of the government. When the iron
industry Of the country struggling for
existence its representatives were always
about Congress, but now that great corpor-
atoms have been formed and all the
improved machinery and cheaper processes
adopted. they will not appear before Con-
gress. 1t is probably matter of indiffer-
ence to the United States Steel Corpora
ton whether the duty is reduced 80 or 10
per cent, for the reason that it can make
goods at a cost which prevents foreign
competition.
There will be Hobbies in Washington, but
they will represent industries and PROPOSE
tons that have no financial basis. The i'm
portunings and influence Of localities desir-
ing river and harbor improvements, or
having irrigation or canal schemes, or
ship-subsidy plans will be much more in
sistent than the large corporations called

4 MISTAKEN IDEA.

In one of the sermons delivered on sun
day in this city the sentiment was ex-
pressed that the large and moneyed cor
porations should keep away from Con-
gress The sentiment is a wise one if it
were based an facts. but experience proves
that the strong and well-to-do corporations
do not appear with Hobbies at Washington.
Years ago the Pacific railroad companies
employed Hobbies which were effective
Their purpose was 10 get clear OF paying
the overdue bonds for construction, the
payment Of which had been guaranteed by
the United States. They quite succeeded IN
making the country believe that they could
not pay of the bonds unless Congress
should give them terms that We're little
better for the government than II il should
assume the debt. At one time IT seemed
possible that the United States would not
receive one-fourth OF the money 1t had paid
out. While Mr.. Cleveland was President

Mr.. Bryan is reported as saying that An
archists are men who have no hope. 1t Is
true Present conditions afford them no
hope. so they desire to overturn society,
destroy the right to property and make it
possible for every man to do what he
pleases.
1t follows that if those men who assassi-
nate rulers and make war on government
are the victims of despair. men who spend
their time in efforts to prove that the con-
ditions of the mass of people grow harder
and more hopeless as the years pass are
engaged in recruiting the ranks of anarch-
ism. Such men may not mean to make An
archists, but when they make them dis
contented and tell them that the door of
opportunity is closed against them they
do prepare men to be Anarchists in spite
of their intentions. The man who declares
that the rich are growing richer and the
poor poorer. and devotes his time to at
tempts to prove that this is true is preach
ing to the mass of men that there is no
hope for them. He is telling them that next
year their condition will be more hopeless
than it is this year because the rich wrest
from them the just rewards of their toll.
and by telling them these things they are
preparing them for anarchy if those who
listen to them believe them. That men
and newspapers make a considerable num-
Der of people believe such discouraging
statements has been shown in many in
stances during the past week.
1t stands to reason. then, that those
speakers and editors who do not desire the
spread of anarchy should preach and teach
hopefulness. They should at least declare
that all statistics and comparisons of con-
ditions years ago with present conditions
show that the mass of people are incom-
parably better off now than then. When
unpropitious seasons come. as they will,
they should cheer the respondent with the
certainty of the better times which are
sure TO come.
