Philippines and that a stable currency
be established to secure the COM
mercial independence of the island
from the control of the great English
banks and the Chinese silver market.
There il no excuse for the senafe's ae--
ton in providing in its bill for silver
currency and insisting on the continu-
ance of the present unsatisfactory
financial condition in the archipelago.
The prohibition of sales of more than
1000 acres of government land to one
individual or cooperation was made I'M
der the mistaken impression that it
will be better for the Filipino to have
the untitled acres of his archipelago
reserved for generations yet unborn
than developed by American capital.
1t is ignorance of conditions in tho
archipelago which led to this disre-
gard of Judge Taft's earnest advice.
The islands need capital. and the cost
of machinery for the development OF
the sugar, hemp, or tobacco industries
Ii so great that it will only be bought
when the acreage for which it is in
tended is large.

THE TARIFF AND DEMOCRACY.
A Glrnce Backward ut the Past En-
forts OF the Party to Lop on
the Duties

Now that the democratic leaders are
turning to tariff reform again, a let
ter, which has just been published,
written by Mr.. Cleveland, then presi-
dent, to the late w. L. Wilson, then
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, possesses considerable inter
est, says the Washington Star. 1t is
dated August 13, 1894, Immediately
after the house had been forced to sur
render to the senate in the matter Of
the Wilson tariff bill. Wrote Mr.. Cleve-
land:
II suppose a man very much distressed
and disappointed may write a word OF
sympathy to another in like situation.
We both hoped and wrought for better
things. but, now that we know our fate
L shall not let a moment pass before
acknowledge the great and unselfsh
work you have done in an attempt to
bring about an honest and useful result
Much has been developed which has
shocked and surprised you and me. and
have within the last hour found myself
questioning whether or not our party is
tariff reform party. This. however is
only temporary, and such feeling Is
quickly followed by my old trust in DEM
ocrauc doctrines and the party which
processes them.
But I only intend to express my sym
pathy with you and my gratitude for the
Tight you have made for real gen.
uine tariff reform.
II hope now that you will be mindful
OF yourself and that you will try and re-

dition by immediate care and rest"

tended the demolition of the Wilson
bill after it reached the senate, that
his action was absolutely necessary;
that the bill as it passed the house was
badly drawn and would not have pro-
duced revenue enough to carry on the
government. Mr.. Wilson was of the
lowest of the low tariff school of dem
Ocrats, and was assisted in drawing
and passing his bill by Turner, of
Georgia; Cochran, of New York;
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, and Will
liam j. Bryan, then a promising young
man under the wing Of Sterling j. Nor
ton. They all worked in harmony, and
they hacked away at protection duties
with will
The senate was so evenly divided be-
tween the two parties that every vote
would be necessary to pass the bill there.
This gave Mr.. German. who was of the
Randall school of protectionists, his
opportunity, and he proceeded to i'm
prove it. The low tariff democrats in
the senate were obliged to yield Mr.
German put the screws on everybody.
and found in Mr.. Murphy, of New York
and Mr.. Smith, of New Jersey, two very
willing assistants. But the quart g tt e
that shaped the bill in the senate was
composed Of one protectionist, Mr..
German. and three low tariff men. Mr.
Vest. Of Missouri: Mr.. Jones, of Ar
kansas, and Mr.. Harris, Of Tennessee
Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Jones were the de
baters, and they proved a very formid-
able pair-Mr. Harris was the parlia-
mentarian. and Mr.. German the gen
eralisimo. After they got through
with the house bill. its author, a Mr.
Cleveland's letter shows, was in n
state Of disgust and despair, and Mr.
Cleveland himself as near the dumps
as man Of full habit ever gets
Many changes have taken place since
then. Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Harris are
dead. Mr.. Jones through defeat, and
Mr. Vest, through choice. will retire
from the senate next March. while Mr..
German, after six years in private life.
