The Free-Trade League.

The American Free Trade League is not
a formidable organization. In forty-one
states it has a membership of only ,1O6.
But it is very active, and it hopes for great
things. At meeting held in Boston the
other day new officers were elected and
steps taken TO participate in this years
congressional campaigns. The secretary of
the league in his annual report said with
other things:
Now that the exactions of the trusts
and the stubborn rejection by the protec-
tionists of every proposed alienation of
burdensome duties are arousing the people
to the injustice of protection; now that
the current of public opinion is running
strongly in favor of free trade, or freer
trade, now is the most propitioCs time to
advance our cause since 1892"
The people are aroused not Ito the in
justice of protection but>to the injustice
of continuing protection to industries that
VIGOROUSLY no longer need it. Protection,
properly applied, is strong with the peo-
pie as ever. 1t stands indicated in our
present enormous manufacturing output.
and there are many lines in which 1t is still,
necessary. In all of those lines it should
continue, to help build up our national
strength, and to make us a successful bid

Senator McLaurin's Announcement

In deciding to stand for reelection as an
independent candidate Senator McLaurin
takes the wise and logical step. He is no
longer in sympathy with the democracy of
South Carolina as represented by Mr.. Till
man, and MIR TiIIman and his friends con-
troll the party machinery. His candidacy
therefore is in effect a challenge. and he
must make his fight outside of the demo-
cratic organization.
Interest in the campaign ought to be ma
terially increased by this act. 1t will not
be the first effort to overthrow democratic
organization in a southern state. but the
issues presented are new. There was re
volt in Alabama a few years ago, ana
those who led it claimed success at the
polls. but they stood for popuism and there
was no great regret outside of the state
when they failed to get control of AFFAIRS
A year or two later a similar movement
took place in Louisiana, and with a SINH
lar result. In neither case was there
distinct appeal to men of substance having
state as we'll as national interests at heart
But now in South Carolina, Mr.. McLaurin
raises issues. not of wildcat money, of gov
eminent loans on fat hogs and pens of corn
and new-mown hay. but of state and ma
t.0nal prosperity based upon accepted bust
Tess principles. He wants the people of his
state to express themselves at the polls on
the subject of expansion. on the subject OF
the rehabilitation of the merchant marine,
on the subject of the country's welfare gen
orally as affected by the results of the
war with Spain. He thinks the time oppor-
tune The local affairs of the state are in
the hands of the educated and property
holding classes. and national issues may
safely be considered without reference to
local things dead and gone and which can
not be revived in the form in which they
were once disturbing quantity.
Can Mr. McLaurin hope for such hear
ing? He does right to ask for it, and it is
to be hoped that in his canvass he will
press his case with all vigor and earnest
ness. The country has heard so much of
what the south would do with the spectre
of the negro laid. that now that the spectre
has been laid there is a reasonable curiosity
70 see a campaign down there conducted

Inauguration Date and CONGRESS.

pointed for it.; wherever industries have SO
thrived under it's fostering care that they
are now competing for foreign trade at a
lower figure than they are selling here at
home. protection should be withdrawn. In
such cases it has become bounty, pure
and simple.
The league is hardly fortunate in it's ref
erence to 1892. Its cause was certainly not
advanced by the election of that year.
There was great laundering in the idex.
The democratic platform was all that the
free traders desired, and it was Interpreted
from the stump in the most liberal way.
The people were assured that at last the
day of doom had arrived for protection and
all its works. But it hadn't. When the
pinch came the free traders were baked
The fruits of their victory turned-or were
turned-to ashes on their lips. The prom
ised revision of the tariff was made largely
under protection influences, and free trade
still remained something to be hoped for
and fought for.
Freer trade is really the cry. And that
must come. The case was put so clearly
and convincingly by Mr.. Mckinley at Buff
falo that the longer the country ponders the
subject the stronger the demand is for such
changes in the tariff schedules as will bring
them in accord with the times 1.-The period

this project which involves the choice of
one of the alternatives, one curtailed or one
expanded Congress. But the Inauguration
date can be postponed from March to the
last Thursday in April without affecting
the congressional calendar other than by
frightening the short" session by seven
or eight weeks. The two changes can I'M
doubtedly be effected simultaneously far
more easily than separately.
AS far the relative Importance of the
two propositions is concerned, there can
be but little question that the material in
terests of the country more urgently de-
mand the change of the date of the con-
gressional meeting. The District people
have been among the first to recognize the
necessity for such shifting, and The
Star has frequently urged the adoption of
an amendment to the Constitution to per-
NIT more rational, safe and business
like arrangement. But it has been none of
the Districts business particularly to push
the change, while it has been the Districts
particular business to urge the postpone
mont of the Inauguration to more Glenn
ent season than March 4. The District
therefore, is entitled to credit for having
by pushing its own pet plan, centered at
tention upon the virtue of the other pro-
ject and it is hardly to be sneered at now
for urging a trivial amendment with the
aid of "forty-five compaisant but ire
sponsible governors" by which term the

members of the national change-of-date
committee.

If possible, of the menace of a lapse of
thirteen months between the election and
the sitting of Congress. But if one or the
other of the political parties. or both,
should balk at the spook of popular retri-
button for the incidental sacrifice of either
one congressional term or one congress
sional election, and the amendment. now
half passed by Congress. should fail of
sufficient support in the House because of
this absurd fear, then equally by all means

The Threatening Coal Strike.

The prospect for peaceful settlement of
the coal miners troubles through the me
dunn of the National Civic Federation
seems to have been darkened by the pre-
cIpitancy of the miners. whose executive
committee has been called together for
meeting next Wednesday by President
Mitchell There have been several confer
ences Of late between the miners and the
operators, arranged through the good Of
fees of the Cancellation committee of the
federation. 1t was thought a few days ago
that the differences were in fair way of
settlement. But it appears now that the
St ntiment for strike IS strong among the
miners, who believe that with the summer
ahead of them they can stand long siege
their living expenses being comparatively
small during this season. At the same time
the operators ara in better position to
hold cut against unreasonable demands than
they would be six months earlier or later
with the consumption of anthracite coal con-
tinuouSly heavy. 1t is to be doubted. how
ever, whether Il strike could extend for
more than eight or ten weeks, even at this
season. without causing the price of authra-
cite to the consumer to rise next fall when
the winter supply is laid in by household
ers. The work of mining and marketing
the coal requires at least two months be
fore the demand is f5lt in the retail yards
The grievances of the miners grow out of
the temporary adjustment of a year and a
half ago. when the provisional agreement
secured by Mitchell prevented a general
strike during the busiest season of the
year. They relate to wages. hours and the
perennial question of the company stores
and the company physicians.

The Army and the Senate.

The republican leaders in the Senate were
at first disposed to submit no remarks on
the Philippine question at this time. None
seemed necessary. Not only had the Phil
ippine tariff bill been seized by the opposi-
ton for an exposition of it's views on the
subject of our eastern possessions, but the
present bill. it was thought sufficiently ex-
planned itself. Why, therefore, with the
session well advanced, and much important
business yet to be attended to, consume
time a measure which had been so care
fully prepared in committee?
This plan has been reconsdered. The
democrats having gone on new tack. the
republicans have wisely decided to follow.
The bill before the Senate is not the prin-
cipal subject of debate though Senator
Rawlins has submitted criticism of some
features of it which deserves serious atten-
ton. The democrats who have spoken have
however turned their attention especially
TO the army in the archipelago, and are
subjecting it to a fire of the most serious
charges couched in terms of the utmost
severity. Never before in our history have
men wearing the uniform of the United
States been made the subject on the floors
of Congress for partisan purposes of such
unmeasured abuse. The democratic lead
ers, it is true, have not INDUCED in it.
Men who served the cOnfederacy with dis
tinCtion, and have served their party in
the Senate since with ability and fidelity,
have kept silent while some of their party
colleagues have been exercising vocabula-
rieS of Vituperation at the expense of men
in arms carrying the flag in the Philip
pines.
But, nevertheless. a challenge has been is
sued. and the republican leaders have taken
il up. 1t was the proper, indeed, the only,
thing to do. Mr.. Lodge leads off, and will
be followed it is reported, by Mr.. Spooner
and Mr.. Foraker. They all strong men,
and are familiar with their subject. They
will probably handle it we'll and Messrs
SpOoner and Foraker with all the greater
case and relish for the reason that as ex-
soldiers they know what war is and how to
present the soldiers side of it.
1t is time for the soldier to have a hear
ing. 1t is time that his general bearing in
the Philippines be set not only before his
countrymen here at home, but before the
world at large. His maligners have reached
the ears of Europe and press and people
on that side Of the Atlantic are beginning
to grade him with tyrants and fends. Some
of them. taking their cue from Spanish
sympathizers in this country, are exalting
