THE FIGHT FOR FREER TRADE.

In the movement of certain high pro-
tectionist leaders in Congress to bring
about a reorganization of the House
Ways and Means Committee which will
eliminate Representative Babcock from
that committee there Is proof of the ex-
ceeding improbability OF honest tarlIt
revision under Hanna control.
This movement against Babcock. In
retaliation for his aggressive efforts in
behalf of general revision of the ex-
lsting tariff, will have effects reaching
beyond the Representative thus to be
punished. Notice Is thereby served on
all Republicans who dare to oppose the
sacred principle of high protection

WARRIORS FALL OUT.

We are again reminded of the truth
OF Gen Sherman's terse description Of
war by the rumor that Gen. Alger and
Richard Harding Davis are likely to
engage in a controversy over the
late Spanish American unpleasantness
While every one must admit that Gen.
Alger and Mr. Davis are the only two
real heroes developed by the struggle
of 1898, and while the views OF these
two valorous warriors must be received
by the world with breathless interest,
vet controversies are, In the abstract
unpleasant. ana 1t ia to be hoped that
this one may be avoided.
OF course Mr.. Davis has cause for
his defiant stand against Gen. Alger.
The latter, in his much advertised
book. charges the American war cor
respondents with cowardice, and Mr.,
Davis, realizing as he does that he
stands in the worlds eye as sort OF
composite photograph Of the craft. and
knowing as he does that the deeply hu
inflated and crestfallen war cores
pondents are turning to him from the
pages OF Gen. Alger's book with ago.
nized hope for succor. could do no less
than rush to the front In their de-
Tense. Mr.. Davis was little out OF
practice In the rushing ng-to-the-front
business when he was at San Juan
hill, but he has had lot of rapid fire
magazine article experience since then,
and IL he definitely decides to rush 1t
is certain that Gen. Alger will realize
the fact.
The war correspondents who lived
on embalmed beef, and ducked bullets,
and slept In wet trenches, and went
to sea in leaky tugboats, and sent news
to newspapers while Mr.. Davis wa
trying on khaki uniforms and getting
photographed. will be very grateful to
him. And gratitude Is beautiful
thing But the patriotic public will
deplore a controversy between the bat
tle-scarred veterans, Alger and Davis,
each with his splendid record OF
knightly valor, modest bravery and
brilliant military achievement, and
will earnestly pray that the threatened
disaster may be averted.

slble by the dominant protectionists
The wires will be laid for their defeat
In the next Congressional elections IL
this is within the power OF the trusts
and the trust instruments.
There is an element OF strength be-
hind these tariff revision Republicans
however. which the protectionists are
falling to take into account The rank
and file OF Republican voters have had
their eyes opened to the bunko nature
of a high protective tariff. Men like
nabcock are not leading the sentiment
OF their constituencies when they fight
for tariff reduction. They are following
that sentiment Republicans OF the
Middle West especially demand re-
vision OF the tariff The developments
OF the approaching session OF Congress
will amply prove the truth OF this as
sertiOn. There should be some signif-
cant news from Washington during
the next session.
Also. there should be much excellent
campaign material manufactured for
the profit OF the movement In favor OF
tariff revision. The protectionist tools
OF the trusts in the present Congress
may succeed In preventing tariff reduc-
ton by throwing down the gage OF bat
tie to the revlsionists and using the
power of the trusts to disarm or utter
ly crush them. but this prevention will
be temporary indeed. The Congress
sional elections of 1909 are destined tO
be disastrous to the syndicates and to
syndicate henchmen In the National
Congress. Tariff revision Is coupled with
the trust Issue American sentiment
demands the reduction of the tariff and
the restriction OF the trusts under COM
petent governmental supervision.
