Improving Consular Service.

It is impressively announced that
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hay have determined to improve the
consular service by dropping consuls
who are incompetent or worse. Here
tofore the mode of finding out about
consuls has been to commission some
man with a pull who wants to travel
at the public expense as inspector of
consulates. 1t is perfectly understood
that the inspector is not to inspect at
all, but only to call on the consuls,
have a good time and report every
thing serene. 1t is intimated that this
practice is to be abandoned, and that
"a more certain method of getting at
the truth of allegations involving the
consuls will be pursued in the future
without regard to expense" There
has been none too much regard to ex.
pense in the past, but let us hope that
more certain method of improving
the service will be pursued.

Getting Used to Extravaganza.

When footings were made at the
expiration Of the fifty-ffth Congress
the conservatism of the country was
shocked and alarmed because the ap.
preparations made reached the enor-
nous sum of $1,00O,000,0 900. The
total gave the name by which that
Congress Is still known and 1t was
predicted at the time that public sen.
timent would serve as an injunction
against repetition OF the extrava-
gance. Yet the ffty-seventh Con-
gress made the fifty-ffth look cheap
and close-fisted The lowest estimate
of what the former expended in ap-
preparations is $1,000, 100000. Despite
this incomprehensiDle disbursement
of public moneys the people are not
making a 1.-THE of the fuss they did
when half the amount was treated as
gross abuse of the power OF taxa

Free Coal and Miners Wages.

The party of protection has always
claimed that II the duty was taken
off coal the wages of the miners
would be reduced to the pauper scale
of Europe. But late events prove the
fallacy of this argument, for since the
duty has been removed an enormous
tonnage is being imported-60 900
tons being on board ships lying in
Boston harbor one day week or two
ago-yet the coal operators have
agreed to pay higher wages to the
miners. The Republicans will have
to invent some other fallacy or the
people will be demanding that beer
and clothes and other necessaries Of
life be also put on the free list.

Now or Never,

It is stated quite positively that
when the President heard that the for
eign relations committee had agreed
upon an amendment providing that a
treaty with Cuba should not become
effective without the concurrence OF
the house in its revenue provisions
his impulse was to convene congress
for action in October, but was dis
suaded by Senators and Representa-
tives who were sure their constitu-
ents could not spare them when the
November elections were SO near at
hand.
On the other hand, 1t Is reported that
Republican Senators are considerably
at sea as to the wisdom of calling q
special session for the purpose stated.
According to this authority the prin-
cipal objection seems to be that If an
extra session should be called for that
purpose nothing could prevent re-
opening of the whole tariff question
and debate in the course of which
: Cuba would be forgotten.
Whatever the probabilities may be,
there is certainly much to be said
in favor of an extra session. II we
are to have reciprocity with Cuba we
should have it without further delay.
The principal reason why we should
have it at all is because of the i'm
piled promise of concessions in favor
of Cuban products contained in the
Plat amendments.
If concessions are to be made they
should be made at once. They are
needed now not only as matter of
good faith but for the bent Of the Gu.
bans and for our own benefit in view
of our exceptional relations with
Cuba.
If the urgency of the case is such
as to justify an extra session it should
be called Immediately. 1t might as
we'll not be called at all as in October,
for it will then be too late to bring
this years crops within the operation
of the terms of the treaty.

Wants His Tariff Taxes Related.

100000. He has stored this i'm.
mensely valuable property where he
bought 1t because he objects to pay.
ing the tariff ON the goods If '.ney were
brought to this country.
The tariff on paintings and marble
statuary is 20 per cent. On books the
tariff Is rs per cent. On furniture, art
works, curios, antiques, relics, bronzes
and many things included in Mr.. Nor.
gan's valuables the tariff is as high as
from 35 to 60 per cent. The total
amount of duties on this $4,000 900 in.
voice is about 100000, an average
of 43 per cent.
The tariff on clothing. carpets, wool
and wooden products. glass and earth.
enware, cotton goods, tin plate, iron
and steel products and food articles
ranges from so to more than 100 per
cent. On 100000 worth of the nee
essaries of life the total amount Of
duties would be not less than s5.0O0,-
900 and might exceed the purchase
price of the property.
Is there any reason why the sum of
$3,OO0,000 in duties owned by man
worth $100,000.000 should be related
while the people are compelled to pay
a much greater sum in duties on the
same value of the necessaries of life
imported in the same ships under the
same tariff laws?

What the Evil Is.

Many newspaper writer's and
others who have occasion to refer to
the locking up of federal money in
public vaults describe the various
measures which have been devised
by interested parties to place the
money in circulation as remedies in
tended to cure the evils of the sub.
treasury system"
"Give dog bad name and then
hang him." is saying that is much
older than the subtreasury system"
AS a matter of fact, the evil CON-
planned of is not properly chargeable
to the sub-treasury system. 1t is due
wholly to the fact that Congress is
collecting more money than it needs,
even for the shamefully extravagant
appropriations which 1t now makes
with the regularity of clockwork.
This is an evil in itself Of no small
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-04-03

magnitude. A kindred evil would be
the use of this money by act of Con.
gress in feeding the fires of specula-
ton in Wall street. The subtreasury
system was intended to cure both OF
these evils-the evil of excessive
taxation and the evil Of gambling
with the public funds.
The alleged necessities Of the tariff
protected trusts and the plungers In
Wall street, have given many old
words and phrases new meanings.
Unnecessary taxation is not only un-
just taxation; 1t is productive Of
many other wrongs, not the least Of
which is Misrepresentation Of the
democratic treasury-a reform which

The Industry II viii Stimulate,

independent plants the price Of steel
wire products is advanced So a ton.
This may be mere coincidence and
it may by the working out of plan
for the accumulation of big war
fund to fight future competition. No
matter what may be the cause for
the raise, this extra 50 a ton will be
an invitation to capital to erect new
mills. Competing plants will be built
just as long as there is tempting
profit in the business and as long as
the trust continues it's present policy
of buying out independent plants at
high price

us ALL FOR DELAY
SENATOR CuLLOM ON REPUB-
LICAN TARIFF POLICY.
He, Like His Party, Is in No Hurry to
Find a Solution of the Question
The Real Object of Appointing a
Commission.

Senator Cullom is at last constrained
to admit that 1t Is not practicable to
reform the tariff by treaty If by re-
form we mean reduction. He has only
just discovered what has been obvious
to some people all along. that II you
cannot induce bare majority of Re
publican Senate to concur In the pas
sage of bill reducing duties you can
hardly expect two-thirds majority
to support treaty reducing duties.
So the Senator who says that for
years" he has believed the true solu-
ton Of the tariff question would be
found in the adoption of reciprocity
treaties" now believes that some other
solution must be found.
His remarks contain internal evi.
dence that he is in no hurry to find
any solution-evidence, indeed, that In
his opinion there is no question to
solve, or that IL there Is the people
are quite content to let 1t go unsolved.
There is no general demand for tariff
revision" he says, although every
now and then some complaint Is heard
because the rate on some particular
article is too high"
Therefore he does not expect any
tariff legislation by the Congress
which will convene next December,
but he does expect that Congress to
create "a commission to inquire into
the tariff question, find out exactly
what Is wanted and make report to
Congress-" After the commission has
fooled away a couple of years the
Congress to be elected In 1904 may do
something about the tariff.
Why should such commission be
appointed if there is no general de.
mand for tariff reduction? The very
suggestion amounts to an admission
that there is such a demand and that
beneficiaries of the enormous Dingley
rates know it and are trying to find
out how not to do it and at the same
time make such pretense of doing 1T as
will pacify the victims. The commits
sion, as we all know, is a favorite de-
vice for this purpose.
Many Republicans who are in po-
sition to know, including w. d. Wash
burn of Minnesota and Gov. Cummins
of Iowa, are of opinion that there is a
general demand for tariff revision in
the West even in their own party.
They are more likely to be rightly
informed than Mr.. Cullom is, for the
Illinois Senator is not exactly the sort
of man that people who demand tariff
, reduction would naturally take into
\ their confidence.
Very likely the incoming Congress
will provide itself with shabby ex-
cuse for doing nothing by creating a
commission to help it do nothing. Very
likely, too, the Congress to be elected
in 1904 will do something. but II so 1t
will not be Republican Congress.
