And he did it all for Mr.. Mckinley. |
Mr.. Mckinley buttoned his frock coat |
around himself, planted the forefnger |
of his right hand under the upper but |
ton, wreathed his Presidential face in |
its sweetest expression, and accepted
all that had been done for him; and he
did it with such consummate grace,
and with such color of unconscious |
ness that there had been anything even |
irregular. that the ''goody good peo-
pIs blessed him from the bottom of
their hearts.
The President is reciprocal in his ma
ture Could he allow small scruples
to stand in the way of conducting his
second administration so that OH the
4th of March, 1905, his welcome at the
Executive Mansion would be to the
man who had LANDED" him twice?
There is no man who has fair ia
miliarity with the politics of the last
patiently and honestly think the mat
ter over, who will not grant in his heart
that President McKinley's second term
will be available for all that it can do
to secure a third term of the Mckinley

! The Tariff Blood suckers Alarmed.
Representative Dalzell, who repre-
sents the gigantic industrial infants OF
Pennsylvania on the ways and means
Committee, is badly frightened.
When Mr.. Mckinley asssggel him
that tie Babcock bill and similar meas
fres would amount to nothing he re-
piled: "They will split the Republican
party They amount to that much at
| least" ---DNN, -s7sssSassg
Therefore, Mr. Dalzel1 Is urging all
Congressman who look upon the Ding
| ley fetch as too sacred to be touched
to meet him in Washington, that they
may take counsel together.
It is safe to say that Mr.. Mckinley
himself is not so confident as he pre-
tends to be. His outgivlngs for the
past two years and nijse to the effect
that we must seek foreign markets by
means of reciprocity treaties show
that he perceives the danger to the
fetch. He sees that something must
be done to pacify such Republicans as
Mr.. Babcock, who are able to see the
connection between-' monopoly COM
bines and the tariff and who think the
people can see it and will make trou-
BILE unless something is done to remove
/ the great bulwark of the confederatel
monopolies
The Mckinley plan for saving the
Dingley tariff is to make lot of re-
ciprocity dickers and parade them be-
fore the people as the only thing to
build up the export trade. His theory
is that if the people are amused with
reciprocity treaties and colonial toys
they will think no more about the tar
/ iff-fattened combines and the Dingley
tariff except as it is touched IN spots
! by the treaties.
But Mr. Dalzell and his like are no
better pleased with reciprocity treaties
than they are with Babcock bills. They
regard both as wicked devices of the
enemy of sacred Dingleyism. Besides,
! they perceive that men like Mr.. Bah
cock are not going to rest content With
the reciprocity mode of favoritism, be-
cause they know that manufacturers
who can export their products and sell
them under the very noses of their
most formidable rivals do not need pro
| lection at all
| The Mckinley attempt to substitute
reciprocity treaties Of more than doubt
! full constitutionality for the removal Of
! duties which serve only to enable their
! benefciaries to exact far more from
| Americans than they are glad to get
! from foreigners will not work.
The Presidents reciprocity toy v'ill
not satisfy anybody, because it will
not fool anybody Republicans who
want a tariff for protection stand face
to face with Republicans who want
tariff for robbery only. The conflict
| between them is irrepressible.
No reciprocity dickers or jugglery of
! adroit politicians can reconcile them Oh
avert the impending struggle for mas,
