FRIDAY EVENING. AUG. %, 1902

THOSE, if there be any, who really
believe that the republicans, if they are
continued in power, will revise the
present high tariff laws will soon find
out how egregiously fooled they have
been. Many republicans admit that the
tariff should be revised--but 'by It's
friends" and when it suits them, which
means never. This is too plain not to
be understood. Mr.. Cannon, chairman
of the House committee on aPpropria-
tons, said in Washington on Wednes-
day: "The tariff will be revised some
time. but not at the next session OF Con
gress or by the succeeding Congress un-
less there is a check to the present pros
perity. do not think it will be neces-
sary to give much attention to this ques-
ton in the present campaign" This
is pretty conclusive but the ut
terances of other prominent repuDll-
cans show that they are Of one mind in
regard to the tariff. While protesting
in his recent speech at Morrisyille, Yer
mont. that he has never opposed read
iustment of the tariff, Secretary haw
took good care to show why revision o.
the DINGHY rates should be indefinitely
postponed His plea for procrastlnation
so exactly fits in with the policy Of the
prohibitOry tariff and trust organs that
they cannot praise him enough. Whal
Secretary Shaw says, in effect, is that, 50
long as the sentiment that demands the
reduction of the tariff on this or that ar
ticle is confined to certain localities
and is not universal, the present duties
must stand. Just how many persons Ii
takes to make "a sentiment in certain
localities he does not make clear 1t
might fairly be assumed, for anything
he SAYS to the contrary, that the directors
of the steel trust, and not the millions OF
consumers, are to be the sole judges o.
how high the duties on steel and iron
shall be, and how long they shall be main
tanned. When the steel trust says, "Lct
the duties be light, they shall be light,
and not before, according to the notion
of the Secretary of the Treasury. 1t Is
t he protected interests, and they alone,
who shall decide whether or not and in
what respect the tariff shall be modified
and if the people wait for relief from
this source they will wait in vain.

NEARING AN END.-The significan

NEARING AN END.-The significant
activity at several of the Pennsylvania
mines yesterday indicates that the oper-
ators believe that the time is almost at
hand when they can expect many de-
scrtions from the ranks OF the strikers.
During the last few days at many of the
collieries in different parts of the region
coal has been produced and breakers run
for short time The officials state that
they are merely testing the machinery,
and this in itself is evidence that they
expect to use it shortly. The fact that
J. p. Morgan has announced his inten-
ton of not interfering with the situa-
ton will cause much loss Of strength in
the strikers rank, the operators believe,
because many Of the men who relied
upon Mr. Morgon to end the strike have
now no hope left, unless President Nit
chell returns from Chicago with news
that there will be larger strike fund
than is at present received, and this Is
by no means certain. The fact that he
went out there in an endeavOr to make
arrangements with the operators to de-
duct the 81 weekly from the wages of the
men, and, according to President Fowler,
of the Ontario and Western Railroad.
failed to do so, has shaken the confidence
of the men in the ability of the union to
provide for them. The operators believe
tlat as soon as this fact is generally
known there will be wholesale assertions
from the ranks of the strikers.

IT Is STATED, and alleged to be
founded upon inside information, that
the great moneyed interests of the coun-
try have reached that stage where the
thing they most desire is no congress
sional legislation Of any sort that they
believe the surest way to bring about a
realization of their desire is to have the
House democratic and the Senate re-
publican, and that they will, therefore,
take no hand in this falps campaign,
either in the way of influencing votes or
putting up money for campaign ex-
penses. This, of course, is an admission
on the part of the moneyed interests that
the democrats will carry the next House,
unless the elections are bought, and also
shows that deplorable state of political
affairs exists in this country.

THE PRESIDENT, it is said, believes
that the republican party in the South
can be raised into responsibility which
ii has not hitherto enjoyed. He has
summoned to Oyster Bay during the
summer many of the most prominent
republicans of the South, and has inn
parted his views to them with emphasis.
Bat the President himself is doing moth
ing toward raising his party in this sec
ton into responsibility. His White
House dinners, his appointment of OBJ
iectionable colored men to prominent
Offices in the South against the earnest
protest of the white people and his
Decoration Day speeches will not in
duce many respectable men in the South
to assist in elevating his party.

ADVANCE IN CEREAIs.-The Chicago
board of trade grain markets were in a
state of excitement yesterday forenoon.
The most sensational feature of the bust
ness was rise of nearly 5 cents bushel
in the price of corn for next months
delivery. Wheat and oats were also
sensationally higher: A rise of cents
bushel in corn may appear trifing
increase in its value to the household
ers who think of corn only in connec-
ton with table use, but when applied to
outstanding contracts for delivery in
September of say 50,0000 600 bushels, a
) cent rise in price means a gain of
81, 500, 900 in the aggregate to those
who have bought it, and, OF course, just
that much loss to those who have sold
it short. September corn, which was
worth SO rs cents a btIshel Wednes-
day morning, was up to 81 81 cents be-
fore u o'clock. 1t closed at 81 cents.
The immediate cause of the advance was
the scarcity of the commodity. There
are more than $500, 600, 900 bushels of
corn slowly ripening in the fields, but
not enough coming in from the old de-
fcient crop to supply the daily require
ments Of the country. Ordinarily at
this season of the year Chicago would be
receiving 200 carloads day. Yester-

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

A letter from Washington says:
"Mr. Rooseyelt's comments on condi-
tons in Virginia are well-deserved.
The leaders of the Virginia republicans
are personally gentlemen Of the highest
type, but their leadership of the party
has time and again invited the sharpest
criticism. Their policy of declining to
even put ticket in the field and refus-
ing to encourage campaign by men
who were willing to make the fight in
face of possible defeat has brought down
upon them condemnation from leaders in
other sections of the country which has
in many cases been thoroughly merited.
Indeed, a contest made by a republican
candidate for Congress brought out during
hot debate in the House of Representa-
tiyes few years ago the charge from
Representative Hull, who vas then vice
chairman of the republican congressional
committee, that republican candidates
who persisted in making the fight in
opposition to the plan of the State lead
ers had to fear the secret enmity of the
republican leaders as yell rs the open
opposition of their democratic opponents
The opposition of the Virginia leaders to
puttinga State ticket in the field five years
ago will be well remembered, and is was
the indignant protest of The American
and other republican newspapers that
encouraged the loyal republicans of the
State to meet at Lynchburg and nominate
fill State ticket, headed by Capt. Pat
McCaull. This year the leaders are again
pursuing their favorite policy of declining
to fight, and it has already been announced
that Representative Flood, in the Teuth
district, is to have no republican oppo-
sition. This policy of cowardly surrender
must stop if the present leaders are to
hold their places. President Roosevelt
admires a fighter, and the present leaders
will soon see themselves superseded by
more energetic men if they persist in
claiming that it is useless to make fight
with no hope of victory. Mr.. Roosevelt
believes that the republican party in the
South has a splendid chance for growth
if good men are put at the head of its
organization and a good fight is put up
at the polls. At all events, he proposes
that the present leaders shall no longer
divide out the lOaves and fishes every
four years unless they show a disposition
to get into the boat and pull at the oars.
