The Democratic party is beginning
to show a remarkable tendency to unite
in endorsement Of the idea of lowering
the protective duties on American-made
articles that are sold at lower price
abroad than at home. 1t is a we'll
known fact that there are hundreds OF
American-made articles that come in
this category. American fencing wire
sells abroad for $1.37 per hundred
pounds, and here for 50. Barbed wire
costs 80 per cent. more in America
than in Europe. American cut nails
sell in. Europe at s1.S2 per hundred
pounds, against s2.O5 in America, a
difference of 13 per cent. 1t is the same
thing with regard to scores Of other ar
ticles. The Democratic party is de-
manding tariff revision at least down
to the point that will make American
made goods as low in the United States
as elsewhere And strange to say, 1t
Is a fact that this idea originated with
Grover Cleveland.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt does not agree
with the Democratic idea of taking the
tariff off of trust made goods. In a
speech at Cincinnati last Saturday, he
discussed the matter as follows:
Immediate introduction Of substan-
tial free trade in all articles manufac-
tured by trusts, that is, by the largest
and most successful corporations. would
not affect some Of the most powerful
Of our business combinations In the
least, save by the damage done to the
general business welfare Of the coun-
try; others would undoubtedly be seri-
ously affected, but much less so than
their weaker rivals, while the loss Will
be divided between the, capitalists and
the laborer and after the years Of panic
and distress had been lived through.
and some return to prosperity had oc-
Cured. even though all were on lower
plane Of prosperity than before, the rel
ative difference between the trusts and
their rivals would remain as marked as
ever. In other words, the trust, or big
corporation, would have suffered rela-
lively, too, in the interests Of Its for
eign competitors: but its relative posi-
ton towards its American competitors
would probably be improved: little
would have been done toward cutting
out or minimizing the evils Of the
trusts: nothing towards securing ade-
quate trade and regulation Of the mod
ern corporations. In other words the
question of regulating the trusts with
a view to minimizing or abolishing the
evils existent in them Is separate and
apart from the tariff revision"
All that sounds reasonable and logi-
cal: but still it offers no remedy. 1t
would be interesting to hear the presi-
dent discuss Senator Morgan's idea Of
leaving the trust free to make as much
profit as they can, and taking away
their surplus through means of taxa
tion for the support of the government.
The people can afford to pay the trusts
heavier profits If the trusts will pay
larger percentage Of the peoples pro-
fits.

BUENCANIMo'S BAD RECORD.
Hypocracy and Untrustworthiness
nj the Filipino Poseur shown Up
by Mr.. Jones of Virginia.


Washington, June 24-During the
Philippine discussion to-day Mr.. Jones
of Virginia untilized few minutes to
expose the record of Buencamino,
member of the civil service commission
at Manila, who appeared before the In
sular Committee and who yesterday
made pilgrimage to McKinleys tomb
at Canton. Mr.. Jones first quoted the
opinion of Gen. Otis, contained in an
interview had with him by Theodore
w Noyes of the Evening Star of this
city, in which Gen. Otis described
Buencamino as professional turn
coat. who was everything by turns and
nothing long.
Mr.. Jones also read a long letter
written to him by Sixto Lopez. quoting
Buencamino in 1895 as extolling Spain
and Weyler, and denouncing DR.. Rial.
the Filipino martyr, in celebration of
whose memory Buencamino Is now at
tempting TO inaugurate an exposition
at Manila. The letter predicted
that the time would come when Buen-
canine would once again be as bitter
against American sovereignty as he is
now extravaCant in his aduation.
II see by the morning paper" Mr.
Jones continued, that yesterday this
man Buencamino visited Mrs. McE[in-
ley and shed tears; that he visited Nc
Kinley's tomb and again shed tears.
This is very remarkable, because in
memorial to Congress last year this
miserable creature charged that the
commencement of hostilities was due
to the direct orders of President Nc
Kinley. | will allow members to
Judge whether the tears this man shed
yesterday were crocodile tears"

LOHuous June 1f.-WlCn OrdmaUC
suddenness the King has been
striker down upon the eve of his cor
onation. Tonight he lies in a critical
state at Buckingham Palace.
Indescribable CONSERVATION prevails
throughout the country, and this con-
sternation is reflected in the cablegrams
received from all the centers of the
universe.
King Edward is in a room facing the
beautiful gardens of Buckingham
Palace and far from the street and the
crowd. If to-night's progress is main
tanned he will probably tide over the
effects of his severe operation, which
has successfully relieved the local
trouble. But should any complication
occur, such as septic peritonitis or blood
present physical and nervous condition
would prove unequal to the strain in
anxiety as to the outcome. The Kings
doctors believe that His Majesty would
have been dead before now ex-
cept for the operation. His
condition became so alarming
last night that at one time it was
feared death might ensue before the
surgeons knife could afford him re-
lief. Intense swelling of the extremi-
ties, accompanied by alarming symp-
toms of modification, constituted the
emergency which demanded an imme-
date operation. To the last the King
tried to avoid this, and he was will
ing to be carried to the Abbey for
the coronation ceremony, in order that
it should occur as arranged. The in
f1uence Of Queen Alexandra was en-
this morning the royal patient was
prepared for the operation, which,
even in the skillful hands of Eng
lands best surgeons, was fraught with
grave danger.
Shortly before o'clock this after
noon His Majesty was moved from his
couch to the operating table and the
anesthetic was administered. Sir
Frederick Trevis made the incision
near the patients groin and carried it
upwards, with an outward slant, for
nearly four inches. The obstruction
was removed and a tubing was placed
in the affected intestine.
King Edwards first words when he
returned to consciousness were to ask
for George" and the Prince of Wales,
who was waiting in the next ROOM
was Immediately admitted to his ia
theirs presence.
The Period of Suspense.
While the operation was being per-
formed the great central courtyard
of Buckingham Palace. so lately the
scene of such brilliant gatherings, was
utterly deserted and an impressive 81
lence reigned throughout the building.
The equerries talked in whispers, SER
wants tiptoed about and the tension
grew almost unbearable. Then the
word was passed around, "All has gone
we'll"
Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour then
went in to congratulate Queen Alexan-
dra and afterward an informal and
perhaps historic discussion occurred
between the Prince OF Wales and the
Duke OF connaught and Lord Sails

members of the cabinet.

A DETECTION AT NANTIcoKE.
Susquehanna Coal Company Get
Back Union workers.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 24.-The Sus-
quehanna Coal Company which is con-
trolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad
scored a partial victory to-day when it
succeeded in getting a number of union
engineers, fremen and pump runners to
return to work at its Nanticoke col
lieries.
While the miners at a strike head
quarters say the slight detection at
Nanticoke does not amount to anything
when it is remembered that more than
147, 500 men are on strike, the actions of
the union officials did not show 1t. Eff
forts were set on foot to counterfeit
the detection. Outside of the Nanti-
coke move, there were no developments
in this valley to-day. President
Mitchell had nothing to say of either
the anthracite or the West Virginia
strike.
