A report comes from Australia that a
house of parliament providing for a mod
crate tariff on imports based upon the
lines of protection to home industries.
Whether this bill will become law
cannot be determined at this time. It is
evident, however, that the government
is committed to such measure and ex
poets to pass it.
The component parts of the Australian
commonwealth before the consolidation
were as wide apart as the poles, on the
subject of trade. So evenly divided was
the sentiment in the United Common
wealth that upon the returns of the first
election it was seen that the upper house
would lean to protection while the lower
house would favor free trade. Upon a
joint ballot, the free trade and the pro-
lection forces were SO evenly disposed
that the balance of power lay with a
half dozen laberites who We're themselves
divided on the tariff question, but a ma
jorfty of them favored moderate tariff
rate for protection.
1t seems now from the report that a
compromise has been effected which will
secure the support of a majority of both
houses. The minister of trade for the
commonwealth congratulated the parlia-
ment upon the existence of free trade
among the Australian states. Why the
commonwealth should be congratulated
upon the existence of free trade among
undesirable thing before the confedera-
ten, is beyond the average mind to COM
prehend How political union which
does not change the economic laws of
trade can SO change principle needs
calculation. Australia has made a great
advance in the march of free trade when
it acknowledges that unrestricted COM
merce among the states of the south
western continent is desirable con-
summation. The strongest argument
against the theory of protection is found
which has enjoyed absolute free trade
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Gulf to the Canadian line.
It is true that the West and South
has suffered in competition with the East
in the productions of skilled labor The
manufacturer of the East has compelled
the farmer of the West + n l,fiv his Goods
at high price, because of the prohibi-
ton of foreign importations. On the
other hand the Westerner has driven the
Eastern farmer out of business because
he can raise his corn and wheat, beef and
mutton, and ship them to the Eastern
market cheaper than they can be raised
upon the New England hills This is
free trade. and where is there protec-

renders their realization to all intents
impossible.
In this matter of car fares the street
ear concern is simply contemptuously in
different. What's everybody's business Is
nobody's business in this regard. No
concession. however slight, has ever been
made by the street car concern, and none
ever will be as long as the existing DOR
mant condition of local public opinion
continues. The Minneapolis concern
which carries our people about their
streets is not guided by fools by any
means. Shrewd mercenaries, as they are,
those charged with running its st. Paul
end do not take fright needlessly. The
Chamber of Commerce may, If it wills,
aCd another set of resolutions to the few
which it has passed since it was organ
lied. The street car people viii take it
good-naturedly enough.
This is perhaps the only large city in
the country in which no concession what
ever is made to the public convenience
or to the public necessities in the matter
of street car fares. The full pound
OF flesh is exacted. OF course the ex-
action goes hardest with the poorer peo-
pie They can only avoid it by paying
comparatively high rents and staying in
the central portions of the city. Out
lying property remains without a mar
ket in good measure because no relief
from the car fare burden is looked for.
In every household the street car bur-
den is felt-in some more than others.
Take a family of workers living too far
away from their places Of employment
to walk. 1t needs not to be either very
big or very extravagant to expend from
$40 to $15 a month for ear fare. If a half
fare prevailed during morning and even
ing hours the relief would be great. 1t
prevails in cities not at all as large and
in some larger. 1t can be made to prevail
here, too, if the people will it. viii they?

LOWER CAR F4REs

For fifteen years and over the effors
has been in progress in this city to secure
some reduction in street car fares. 1t
has failed. and the failure is due TO
courses which no intelligent citizen needs
to nave explained to him.
1t is a good many years since St.
Paul city council ordered that a half
rate fare should prevail at certain hours.
Having so ordered, that body considered
its duty as being fully done The order
of course remained unfulflled. The pub
lie accepted the assurance that the re-
duced fares would prevail, and thereupon
dismissed the matter from all further
consideration
The project, brought up at the last
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
to secure some reduction of fare for tho
benefit of university students residing
here, is an old one. 1t has been dis
cussed at regular intervals for ten years
at least. Indeed, If discussion were If
any avail we would have had the relief
sought and young folks going to the
state university would have had the bene-
fit of scent fare long since.
Local public opinion is at fault. Per-
sonal considerations are toe influential
among us when any gain to the general
public is in view. It is not only the poll
tics of the public officers. but of the busi-
ness officers as well which stands in the
way of many needed local reforms, and

There was considerable comment some
years ago over the report that few
officials of leading life insurance com
panies We're receiving very large sal
aries The figures then given in speci-
fed cases were usually exaggerations of
the sums actually paid, but that any
man was entitled to a salary approx
mating that of the President of the
United States, for instance, was held TO
be an evidence of almost wanton ex-
travagance.
Time has opened the eyes and broad
ened the view of people in this respect,
ana 1t is now known that men at the
heads of great banking institutions. rail-
ways trust combinations and other large
interests are paid as much and more
than any life insurance managers with
no greater ability or responsibility de-
manded of them. In short, it is under
stood that men can individually earn
tens OF thousands of dollars annually,
and those whom they serve be all the
better for being able TO command their
efforts,
And row comes so distinguished an
authority as Lyman j. Gage, Secretary
of the Treasury, telling a gathering Of
banking employees that there are places
IN the country where twenty or more of
them can each earn $25 coo a year if they
are competent to fill them. He tells then,
That he knows of the positions, which
are probably mostly in the banking line
and could place the men there at once

THE SMITHSONIAN DrIEmm4.

A man described by his associate Of
ficer, who is in personal touch with him
in moments of supreme peril, as ''enthu-
siastically brave and patriotic, . it is upon
whom Admiral Sampson and his satellites
seek to fasten the imputation of cow
artiice. The undertaking is a great and
hazardous one.
The testimony of the officer in imme-
date command of the Brooklyn tells
eloquently of the shameless attempt that
has been made to rob the commander of
the flying squadron not only of merfted
honors but of his good name. If Adj
miral Sampson could so order, Admiral
Schley would be driven In disgrace from
the navy instead of honorab1y retiring
as he has done within q few days.
The motive which led to so remark
able an undertaking was limited at by the
former secretary of war, Gen. Alger,
when he declared in his book his belief
that the iIl-wilI displayed toward Gen.
Shafter by Admiral Sampson might be
due to chagrin at his failure to partict-
pate in the battle of Santiago There
the part of Sampson has thus operated.
But SchIey's professed politics had most
to do with the implied official sanction
given to the attack by the navy depart
ment
The disprcof of cowardice has been
made complete. Not only that but Adj
miral Schley is made to stand out as the
great central figure of the memorable
naval campaign His traducer might as
well have gone to Washington and
stayed there throughout the campaign as
to be where he was. His only usefulness
was evidently to be in a position to
satisfy himself by actual observation
that the Spanish fleet was destroyed.
The charges which he fathered have
fallen to the ground by sheer weight of
unreason and falsehood.
Still the effort proceeds from the navy
department to influence public sentiment
In manner more distinctiveIy apologize
of Sampson than hostile toward his in
tended victim There are many state
merts floating around the press since the
breakdown of sampson case was seen
to be inevitable, which are easily identi-
fed in origin. They are all of late days
explanatory or apologetie; and they make
quite plain the conviction which these Of
fetal tradueers have, that the only leg
this case now has to stand on is the So
called retrograde movement. 1t took some
time for Sehley's enemies to discover
that Sampson really did disown Maelay's
impudent calumnies, but they finally
cry was made by them that the famous
loop was made by the order of Capt
Cook, not of Commodore Schiey, and that
the failure to coal from the Merrimac
really constituted the chief offending of
the man in command
This is the stage reached even before a
accused offfcer-for that he is in the
public estimation. What extremities
the departmental marplots will be re-
duced to by the completion of Sehley's
case it does not require strong magma
ton to conceive. If Admiral Sampson
escapes the reprimand of his official SUI
periors. he certainly cannot in any event
escape absolute public condemnation.
