werner, of Ohio, was the one said last
week in the Philippine tariff debate.
when he in terms declared that the
Democrats pushed the Republicans into
the Spanish war. Such a statement
reminds us of the boy whose father

There has been great rush in Con
gress to push the Philippine ta1iff bill
through. The reason stated is the love
the Republicans have for the islands,
and their desire to furnish money to
improve those islands and 'civilize
and Christianize those 'Iittle brown
men," This is absolutely untre. The
cause of protection is what has forced
this bill so fast. But few weeks have
elapsed sincee the decisions of the Su-
prcme Court cut off the collection of
tariff on goods going to and returning
from the Philippines, and the country
has not gone to the dogs. Before the
Senate passes this bill some more
weeks will elapse leaving the same
horrible condition prevailing. and the
poor protected industries of this coun-
try. writing in the agonizing throes
of free trade with those islands, and
still we will not see the country entire
destroyed thereby. The bill runs to
1905. and this shows the politics in it.
In 904 there is to be a presidential
election, our protected Industries, and
trade destroyers will be asked for cam
paign funds. These would not be
orthcoming if protection had even the
excuse of the Philippine trade to base
! declination upon. or if even the poor
Philippine trade, which to the great |
OF American trade Is as rivu-
ct to Niagara, were not choked off, so |
hat the voracio nav of this ruler |
II the nation might be filled at will,
rom the fruits Of tbs labor of this
ountry.

The corporations are still trying to
convince the convention that the word
