FREE TRADERS TAKE NOTICE.
Under Protection This COuntr- Ii
Fast becoming the Commercial
Master of the World


The agitation in favor of the adop-
tion of a revenue tariff with several
strong protective features as a means
of providing the money needed to pay
Great Britain's Boer war debt con-
tinues, and the protectionists are now
strengthened by the support of the
London Times, the most powerful
newspaper in England. and the Daily
Mail, which is influential because of
its large circulation. These two news
papers are opposing further in
crease in the income taxes as a means
of meeting the present financial cri-
sis.
There is something in this for free
traders to think about seriously.
England is now in practically the
same situation the United States oc-
cupied when it was trying to get
money with which to prosecute the
war against rebellion. and later when
it was confronted by war debt of
practically $3,O00,0 100000. The repub-
lican protective policy was adopted
at the beginning of the civil war
and it was maintained during all the
subsequent years up to 1894, when
the enormous war debt was being re-
duced. Not only did protection serve
to provide the revenues needed to
meet the burden imposed by the
prosecution of the civil war, but it
encouraged and built up the indus
tries that have given this country
first place in the fight for the mar
kets of the world.
During all the years that the Unit
ed States was reaping the benefits
of protection the manufacturers of
England, aided by a strong minority
OF the American people, were doing
their utmost to break down the pro-
tective wall and open our markets
to an invasion by foreign-made goods.
Now the conditions are practically
reversed. This country is fast be-
coming the commercial master of the
world, and England, confronted by
an enormous war debt, finds her for
eign trade dwindling and is begin
ming to feel the effects of domesti:
industrial depression.
There was never a better oppor-
tunity for the protectionists to make
headway in England. and they are
likely TO take full advantage of the
opportunity. Whether or not the
prospective change in the fiscal pol
icy of the British government will be
injurious to the United States re-
mains to be seen.-Cleveland Leader.

AGUINALDO FOR PEACE.
Ey5euccs of Sincerity in the Iazur-
gent Leade'.s Proclamation
to His People.

There is an air of reserve about
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipinos
that goes far toward indicating his
sincerity. The document is com
mendable for what it leaves unsaid
quite as much as for what it says.
The inSurgent leader expresses no
regrets for the past and makes no
loud protestations of enthusiasm for
the new authority to which he has
sworn allegiance. He simply says he
has become convinced that his peo-
pie want peace under the American
flag, and he will respect their wishes.
He acknowledges that the Filipino in
surgents have come in contact with
''an irresistible force which, while it
restrains them, yet enlightens their
minds," and he expresses his deter
mination to follow the new light and
to accept the sovereignty of the
United States without reservation,
because he believes this will be best
for his country.
There is more of the ring Of gen
uineness in an utterance of this kind
than if Aguinaldo had gone into a
wordy apology for his past course or
his new political faith. The delibera-
tion with which he has decided upon
this action is also a point in favor
of his sincerity. So far as his pri-
vate thoughts can be judged from his
words, he seems to have abandoned
his dreams of personal sovereignty.
The unfriendly reception given him
by the Tagals in Manila undoubtedly
has helped to open his eyes. If he
really be convinced that the Filipinos
are tired of his schemes and of his
war. there will be more reason to
trust his promise of loyalty to the
United States.
Since the capture of Aruinaldo
scarcely day has passed without
adding TO the list of insurgents who
have given up their arms and ava.led
themselves of the profiered amnesty.
This manifesto from their former
leader probably will have some in
fuence in inducing the few remain
ing insurgents to surrender. They
have an extra incentive to do so be-
fore May /, when the period of ann
nesty will end. When peace has been
restored completely the authorities
probably will be able to judge from
| A2uinaldo's further words and acts
how far he is to be depended upon
as n good and w-abiding citizen.
Meanwhile the so-callcd "anti-im-
pcrialists" in the United States vii.
go on waging war with their tongues.
They will say, as ex-senator Towne
| does, that Aguinaldo's manifesto is
| the utterance of man who yields
only to force" and that it "consti-
tuteS one of the most pathetic Incl
| dents in history" They will not be
affected by the fact that the Filipinos
| themselves prefer peace under Amer
lean rule to anarchy under native
| chiefs. They have undertaken to
crown Aguinaldo as a martyr. and
they will make him one if il has to
be against his will. Their own plight
is the one really pathetic feature of
the situation.-Chicago Tribune.

One OF the striking things shown
by the last census is the remarkable
increase Of tenant farming. The pcr-
centage of farms operated by tenants
showed n considerable increase by the
census of 1900. For the whole coun-

the last ten years nearly twice rs
fast as the per cent of population Of
The nation, four times that of the
purely agricultural population and
twice that of the farms operated by
their owners.

WE ARE THE LEADERS.
Extraordinary Commercial Triumphs
Won by Republican Policy
and Statesmunship.

No man could, a generation ago.
have foreseen the extraordinary tri-
umphs to-day achieved by America
in the world of commerce. We stand
now first among the nations in the
value of exports. Twenty-Five years
ago, in the output Of domestic prod
ucts, Great Britain stood first, with
$1,OS7,0 900, followed by France.
with $747,000,000; Germany, with
$607 100000, and the omitted States,
with $497, 100000
The standing of these nations, in
1900, is as follows: The United States,
81 ,453,0 100000; Great Britatin and Ire
land, $1,41S,000,000 Germany, $1,O5O,-
100000; France, $7S7,OOO.0OO. 1t is
thus seen that the United States,
which, a generation ago, was fourth,
is now first among exporting coun-
tries, Great Britain becomes second;
France, from second place, falls to
the fourth, and Germany remains
third. The gains of the four nations
are 1872 per cent. for the United
States, "a per cent. for Great Britain
and Ireland, 73 per cent. Ior Germany
and 7 per cent. for France. No other
nation comes anywhere near France
as an exporter
In 25 years we have tripled the
value of our animal expectations.
This splendid Transformation is due
to republican policy and statesman
ship, which even under temporary de-
feat has ever remained faithful to
American principles and purposes.
In its tariff and monetary measures,
republican craftsmanship has consult
ed the best interests of our people.
1t has given us sound money and
built up every industry in the land.
We have to-day the best financial
system on earth, the highest measure
of prosperity, the soundest credit
and brightest future before any coun-
try in the world.-Cincinnati CONNER
