MI. Tilden,s 6 600 Letters.

II Was Mr.. Tildens faith in the power OF the
people to form 4 correct Judgment on any cues
tion submitted to them that led to his final
triumph. Il have spent over $1,000 for postage
in this campaign" he said TO young man after
1871. "Do You mean to say that you sent out
900 Letters" asked his astoni,hed visitor.
That's about the number" answered Mr. Til
den
hut where did you get their names?'
My long connection with the Democratic
state committee had flmliarized me with the
chairman of the county committee in almost
every county in New York. 10 'him ! therefore
sent for list of names OF men in every village
in his county"
"And did You send printed letters TO them?'
Better than that" Mr. Tilden said, while his
grey eyes twiuked: 81 sent each of my cores
pondents Autographed facsimile OF my own
handwriting
"And how did II workg'
'SplCndidly," he answered in conclusion
''After l was elected and had gone TO Albany

law to any group OF citizens, whether
rich or poor, would not long retain the
respect of the American people.
The president is 10 wrecker of vested
interests. lie Is no demagogue with
hand uplifted against those who have
money. Ills wish is to encourage
capital as we'll as labor and to aid
both to an honest prosperity. But that
does not mean that capital Is to con-
slider Itself above the law and immune
in all It's acts from judicial investi-
CATION. If the Northern Securities COM
pany is a lawful institution for a wise
purpose the fact will be brought out in
the inquiry and 1t will gain greatly in
public confidence through that public
ity. If 1t is not lawful or wise the
public interest would clearly suffer If
all investigation should be shrked.
The keynote to this whole question of
trusts and combinations is publicity.
The public needs to know the facts. 1t
cannot always depend upon what the
promoters say. Neither is it fair to be-
iieve all that the demagogues say. The
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth IT. demanded in the name of
the public welfare. The trust which
fears the disclosure Of that may reason
ably be viewed with suspicion.

"Ibe pension debate in the house a few days

Up to Congress.

reciprocity with cuba as asked
Il for by the administration meant
the destruction of the beet sugar
industry in this country. then we should
never favor it. An industry in the
United States is worth more to the
American people than one i'll Cuba or
any other foreign country. If it were
true that such an arrangement would
Seriously injurc or unsettle Il home in
dustry those Republican members of
congress who have been conscientious
and consistent protectionists would be
perfectly justified in declining to par
ticipate in its enactment.
Not one of these things is true. Not
one is oven plausible in theory. We
use enough sugar in this country to
take up all of Cuba's output and all the
possible domestic beet sugar product
combined: and with both eaten we
should still have to import millions OF
pounds from Europe. If every square
foot of suitable land in Cuba We're in
high pressure cultivation with the most
improved machinery known to the
sugar grinding trade, the growth in
sugar consumption in the United States
would be sufficient with the growth in
population to use up the output the
local beet output and Il large amount
of the output of the highly subsidized
sugar factories of continental Europe.
This is not wild talk. 1t is asserted
upon the authority of the leader of the
present movement against Cuban re-
ciprocity, the president of the Beet
Sugar trust, Henry OXnard When he
said as much in effect he did not fore
see that his words would be used in
this connection. But he spoke the
truth.
The proposition now before congress
is not a charitable one. 1t is strictly
business-lilie. When we had reciprocity
with Cuba before, our trade with that
island reached the most prosperous pro-
portions in its history. A like method
today will produce y like result. This
is Cubas natural market. Cuba should
be our natural market. To interrupt
this trade by mutual barriers not need
ed except fop revenue would under any
circumstances be ort-sighted and un-
wise. But the circumstances today are
that we have pledged ourselves before
the world to set Cuba up in independ-
ent statehood and are sponsors before
mankind for her good behavior. In Or
der to redeem this pledge it is neces-
sary that the internal affairs of Cuba
shall be prosperous. This cannot be if
the one market that Cuba has for the
chief product of her plantations, which
are just recovering from the ravages
of war. shall be for all practical pur-
poses closed against her.
Humanity, self-interest and keen
sense OF honor combine to urge upon
the Republican party in congress re-
demption of William McKinley's word
in this matter. Failure to obey
would invite deserved defeat ana con-
tempt.
