tariff, not by its friends. but by its
enemies, and we know that that IS
something that no Republican can con-
template without a shudder. But We
know that as matter OF fact the laflIL,
as now imposed. has no really eTnc1enI
friends except those who make money
out of it. And this being the case, IL
will never be reformed IN such way as
to hurt any of its friends. The beet
sugar people are thus, from the pro
tectionist point of view wholly within
their rights. It has always been the Gus
tom Of our prOtectiOnists to allow the
protected industries to say just now
much protection they needed. Republi-
can ways and means committees having
summoned the heads of infant industries
to testify as experts in the business
Of tariff making, and almost invariably
their views have been adopted. Little
attention has been paid to those who
have made a study of the science of po-
litical economy and taxation Ihese
were not experts" So our tariff sche-
dulles have been written by the bene-
ficiaries. And now We have reached the
climax
That the people understand the situa
ton we have no doubt. They have seen
that the wishes of two Republican pres
idents, one of them the greatest protec-
ZIONIST of our generation, the over
whelming sentiment of the party of
protection. the desires Of the American
people the welfare of the country ana
the very salvation OF Cuba, are as moth
ing when compared with the supposed
necessity Of protecting a greedy and in
significant industry. After seven months
of effort the campaign for fair treat
ment of Cuba has broken down. It is
not simply that Cuba is not to have her
chance, not simply that the American
people are not to be relieved OF a part
of the burden of taxation, but that the
American congress is powerless to leg
islate when certain private interests in
sist that it shall not legislate. So we
say that the party nominany in control
is caught in its own trap. It IS not a
question of duties or schedules but of
principle.
OF course the old talk win continue.
but it win be from now on much more
difficult to make intelligent men believe
that protection is great and beneh-
cent system the only object Of which is
the general welfare of the people The
thing is a unit, and can only be- changed
as unit. So even reciprocity is oppos-
ed and Cuba, from the present outlook,
viii have to struggle along as best she
can, and we shall have to endure the
disgrace of being held up by a few men
who insist they shall be allowed to tax
the American people.

ADDS TO HISTORY
Admiral Dewey Appears Before
Senate Committee.

Washington, June 26-Admiral Dewey
made statement before the senate
committee on the Philippines today
concerning the early operations at Ma
Mia when he was IN con Hnand of the
naval forces in the Philippine waters.
The admirals statement contributed an
important addition to the history Of the
surrender OF the city of Manila This
consisted of a positive statement by the
admiral to the effect that the city had
been surrendered to him at the time
that the Spanish feet was sunk and
that when the city did surrender it was
in pursuance of a definite understand
ing between himself and the Spanish
governor general.
The admiral was questioned by SEN
atOr Lodge. He said he had first heard
from Aguinaldo and his friends about
April l, 1898. a month before the battle
in Manila bay, when 1t became certain
that there was to be war.
then heard that there were number
of Filipinos who desired to accompany the
fleet to Manila" he continued. IAN of
them were young and earnest. I did not
attach much Importance to them or to
what they said. The day before we left
Consul General Pratt, located at Singa-
pore, saying that Aguinaldo was at Sing
apOre and would Join me at Hong Kong
I replied All right; tell him to come
aboard but / attached so little Importance
to the message that 1 sailed without Agui-
naidO and before he arrived There were
then many promises as to what the Fit
pinos would do, but I did not depend upon
them. Consul Williams assured me that
upon our arrival and the firing of the first
rise and I frequently joked him on this
point"

KENDRICK is HOME.
Believed That He Has Declined
the Westinghouse Offer.

Third Vice President J. W. Kendrick
of the Santa F'e is expected to return to
Chicago Friday from his European trip.
He will find awaiting him in Chicago
George Henderson, superintendent of
motive power, who went to Chicago to-
day to confer with Mr.. Kendrick on inn
portant business.
Several of the leading officials of the
Santa Fe today expressed the opinion
that Mr. Kendrick has decided not to
accept the position of British represen-
tative of the Westinghouse Airbrake
company at a salary of s35, 900 q. year,
which is understood to have been offer
ed him. He will retain his present
position with the Santa Fe a a salary
said to be $4,000 less annually than
what the Westinghouse people offered.
One of the chief officials of the road To-
Gated in Topeka said: Mr.. Kendrick has
climbed to the top in the railroad world
and has devoted his life to the work, He
is at the height of his powers and has an
assured place. All his associations are in
railroading, and it Is not likely that just
as he is beginning to be past middle life
he would cut loose from all his old associa-
tons and go to Europe to establish new
enterprise Mr.. kendick has enough money
to be independent of the increase in in
come which the Westinghouse company

MEET ON JULY
Populist and Democratic Committees
to Map Out Campaign.

A call has been issued for the Demo-
cratic and Populist state central com
mittees to hold joint meeting with
the fusion candidates at the Throop
hotel on Monday evening. July z The
main purpose of the joint meeting will
be to get the two tickets up just alike
the names and initials of the candidates,
their addresses and other details.
The Populist state committee will be
reorganized at that time. 1t now seems
probable that either c. B. Hoffman OF
Enterprise or Grant Harrington of Hia-
watha will be elected chairman. Major
Harvey is not certain now that he wants
the craftsmanship. and an effort viii be
made to unite upon some one who VIII
be agreeable to all factions.
It Is quite likely that il viii be Hoff-
man, for although he belonged to the
crowd that was defeated in the conven-
ton, he will not be Objectionable to the
side which won, and he is anxious that
the Populist organization should be
maintained Although Hoffman is small
of stature. he was the biggest man in
the recent convention. He was listened
to with greater attention than any other
speaker, and what he said had more
weight but the sentiment of the dele
gates was against him and he could not
change enough of them to carry his
plan. He came out of the convention
with the good will of his opponents, how
ever, and this is what makes him
strong candidate for chairman.
In case Hoffman will not accept it.
Grant Harrington may be elected chair
man.

CAUGHT IN IT'S OWN NET.

In an editorial article under the cap
ton "A Lost Battle" the Indianapolis
News. one of the few really indeDend-
ent Republican newspapers OF the coun-
try enters upon a discussion of the sit
uation Of the Republican party as re-
CARDS the tariff. After referring to the
death of the reciprocity measure the
News continues as follows:
The plain truth is that the Republican
party is caught in q net of its own
weaving. 1t dares not reduce the duties
on sugar and tobacco lest the senators
representing those interests should COM
bine with the Democrats and reduce the
duties on other OutrageOusly protected
products. There IS scarcely a protected
interest In the county that would not
retaliate if its protection were with
drawn. None of them cares for protec-
ton as system or philosophy, but only
q scheme out Of which it makes money
And if one interest ceases to make
money out of it. or makes less money
than it thinks it ought to make. it
would quickly and gladly join with the
enemies of the system to prevent any
one else making money out of it. Tt is
pure selfshness and greed that inspires
the beet sugar men and the rest. II
this sense. therefore. the whole tariff
hangs together. If the sugar duty were
lowered. the sugar senators would
promptly unite with the Democrats tc
secure the lowering or the removal OF
the duties on steel. iron. wool, tinplate
cattle, etc, and then what would be
come of the blessed tarfff2
This is the possibility or rather the
certainty, that confronts those sena tors
(and they are not few in number. We
are glad to believe). who seem to bt
