Washington. January 22.-The house leaders went down to signal defeat to- day when by vote of TAG to 12S was rejected the Philippine coinage bill re- ported by the insular affairs committee and was adopted the substitute offered by the minority for the introduction of an amendment of the currency coin age system in the islands. The insular committee includes in it's membership the chairman of the most powerful committees of the house, MT. Cannon. chairman of appropriations: Mir. Hit. chairman of foreign affairs; MT. Payne, chairman of the ways and means: MT. Hepburn, chairman of the interstate commerce. and MT. Tawney. chairman of the committee on expOsitious.
 They reported a bill 10 establish a gold standard in the islands and to authorize the coinage of silver pesos of 4l6 grains to be made legal tender at the rate O. two pesos for one gold dol lar. The majority of members made g gallant fight for their bill but a con siderable number of the republican, zS on the final vote urslcr the lead Of MT Hill of Connecticut, MT. Fowler of New Jersey and Mir. Mccall of Massachus-
 
 carried the substitute.
 The fact that Secretary Shaw ard other high treasury officials were quoted on the floor as favoring the substitute helped the overthrow of the committee bill.
 Their opinions were advanced as against those of Governor Taft and other members of the Philippines com m vides that the lawful money oi the United States shall be legal tender in the Philippines and declares that the coinage laws of the United States shall be in full force there. It provides for the redemption of the Mexican and Spanish silver, not including Mexican pesos imported into the island after March 15. 1903, at their bullion value as declared from time tO time by the Philippine commission. the silver coin authorized by the Philippine govern ment act to be redeemed at the rate of two pesos for one of United States currency.
 After six months no coin except that of the United States shall be legal ten der with the following prJvigo: That all debts except those otherwise D~o- vided for in tine contract owing on the date when this act shall take effect or contracted within six months there after shall be payable in >silver coins now in circulation in the Philippine islands or in the lawful money of the United States at the rate of exchange expressed a the time by the Philippine commission.
 The bill provides that the pesos coined under the Philippine govern ment act and the Mexican and Span ish coin when redeemed or received for public dues on the above basis shall be coined in the United States mint authorized to be established in Ma nila.

Pleading for a Thief-What Judge
Says in Such Cases.

Last week, in New York city, Frank S.
Pilditch, So years old, of SIS Dean street.
Brooklyn, for Is years the New York mana
ger of S. u c., Wardlow, cutlery Manufacture
ers. of Sheffield, England, at 95 John street,
was sentenced to eight years and six months
in Sing Sing Prison for grand larceny. Judge
Newburger, in Part Nv. of General Sessions,
imposed sentence. Pilditch two weeks ago
pleaded guilty to two indictments charging
him with stealing from his employers, and was
remanded to the Tombs He is a widower
with four sons and two daughters and is well
known in church circles in Brooklyn.
Before sentence was imposed the prisoner S
counsel handed up to Jugde Newburger scores
Of letters and three petitions from cutlery
manufacturers, business associates and Pill
ditch's personal friends, containing $50
names. asking that Pilditch be eniently dealt
| with.
Judge Newburger in passing sentence said:
Il have been overwhelmed with letters and
petitions on behalf of this man. He is differ
ent from ordinary criminals. He has had the
advantages OF education and good environ
ment and should know better than to commit
such crime. Those who sign such petitions
do not seem TO have any regard for my posi-.
! ton; they do not seem to realize my duty to
the community. According to the represen-
tations of this mans employers he has robbed
them in the last Is years of more than $92,-
600, and | do not see why clemency should
be extended to him. The sentence of the
court is that you, Pilditch, shall be confined
in Sing Sing Prison at hard labor for the pc
riod Of eight years and six months

Tariff Debate Opened

The ADVOCATE last week predicted that the
Presidents Cuban reciprocity bill would opei
the whole question of the tariff, and it did
The bill was formally taken up in the House
of Representatives on Monday, and the Demo
Gratis at once began discussion of tariff tax
alton. The reciprocity bill was not opposed,
but general reciprocity was favored.
The principal speech was made by Mr..
Swanson, of Virginia, who predicted great
decline in exports unless the Ding ley tariff
rates were reduced. He referred TO the tariff
acts of Germany, Russia and Switzerland
against the products of the United States, and
to the policy of Chamberlain to preserve the
commerce of the English colonies to the home
government Mr.. Swanson referred to the
failure to have reciprocity with Canada, when
that government proposed it, and SAID oul
policy of 'protecton would result i'll great
commercial loss.
The United States produces more than is
consumed at home. 1t is plain proposition
that we must sell the surplus abroad. And it
is further plain fact that if We shut out for
eign trade by prohibitive taxation other gov
ernments will retaiate by laying high taxes
upon imports from the United States.
Mr.. Swanson spoke well when he asked
Democrats to lay aside all differences and
make the tariff the issue next year. The con-
ditions are the same now as when Mr.. Cleve-
land opened the question. The treasury bal
ance last Saturday showed 1929. 5000 in
the treasury. This money should be in the
hands of the people. Its withdrawal is a
menace to trade. lis presence in the treasury
is an inducement to extravaganza, and the
Republican party is more inclined TO extrava-
gance than to tariff reduction.
In addition to tariff reduction the Demo.
Gratis next year can we'll say Reform, as in
1876. The corruption in the Federal service
is nearly as widespread as then. What has
been shown is immense. What really exists
will not be known until exposed by the Demo
cratic party.

The Suns Short Sighted Policy.

At the session of the Legislature of 1890 {
bill was before that body providing for sale
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal to a corpora
ton, (practicaly the West Virginia Contra
Railroad Company which was to use the
banks of the canal for railroad from Cum
berland to Georgetown, with. another line tt
Baltimore The bill provided, also, that nc
parallel or competing line could own share
of stock in the new road. The Baltimore SUI
bitterly opposed the sale and so did the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad. The latter's chic
counsel, John X. Cowen, rushed into prin
with an interview with the Sun, stating tha
the value of the canal was something like ter
millions of dollars, and so much opposition
was developed that the bill to sell the cana
was defeated.
Had the sale taken place all liens against
the canal could have been paid off and the
State would have received handsome sum
also. Ten years ago the road would have
been completed and Baltimore would have
had the advantage of the trade facilities such
a railroad connection would have afforded.
Every county along the canal would have
profited by the building of the road, and also
the counties of Frederick, Carroll and Balti'
more along the extension to Baltimore.
The Sun was great power in defeating the
bill, and its short sighted policy must now be
very apparent to that journal.
By coalition of the Republican party
leaders and the Baltimore & Ohio railroad the
bondhoders of 1874 Baltimore Il Ohio Stock
holders got possession of the canal and are
operating it ostensibly to remunerate them
selves. 1t is simply farce, and the canal
WAS being held to shut off competition with
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and is now
being used to block the way of the Wabash
system connecting with the Western Maryland
railroad. Everybody who knows anything OF
the canal affairs and the course OF the 1874
bondhoders knows that the pretended opera
ting of the canal is IA mere fraud, and the OBJ
ections of the Wabash building crossings over
it are simply the objections of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company.
Had the canal been sold in 1890, as 1t should
have been. the trouble and delay the Wabash
road is now experiencing would have been
obyiated. Had that sale taken place the West
Virginia Central, now part of The Wabash
system, would have had line into Baltimore
at least ten years ago.
The Baltimore Sun, which is now so anx-
ious to have the Wabash system enter Balti-
more has itself to blame, and it should make
public apology to the supporters of the bill to
sell the canal in 1890 for its severe censnre Of
