Mr.. Roosevelt is right. The people Of

Philippines, assumed the responsibility,
not only for the present but for the
future, for a good many millions Of hui
man beings and a large slice Of the

Laws which are good here must be
good in the Philippines, and they will be
applied there. That which is progress
here must be progress in the Philippines,
and 1t will be developed there.
The United States will not back ont
and invite the Philippines to fight it out
among themselves, leaving the savages
to fall to slashing each other and the
half-breeds to plotting and selling each
other out. 1t would be the simplest way
out OF it, n the most cowardly. That

PARTY POLITICS.
Striking Contrasts Revealed by a Study
of Official Reports.

Official reports show that protective
tariffs have been in operation in the
United States during practically one-half
Of the one hundred and fifteen years
since the adoption of the Constitution.
Official statistics show that during fifty
nine years Of low tariff there were but
ten years in which the exports of the
country were as great as the imports,
and that during the entire ffty-nine
years Of low tariffs the total excess OF
imports over exports was $o15, 900. 600.
A study of the commerce of the protec-
tive years shows that exports exceeded
imports in twenty-seven Of the fifty-two
protective years, and that the net excess
OF exports over imports during that time
was s., 800, 600 1000.
To state it in different form, low tariffs
in %flfty-niue years of operation show Il
net excess Of imports over exports of
$515,OOO.O 600, while protective tariffs, in
ffty-two years of operation, show a net
excess Of exports over imports of ST.
5OO,OOO,OOO. The protective tariffs Of
hfty-two years have paid the commercial
debts Of the ffty-nine years of low tar
ifs, amounting to $515, 600, 900. and, in
addition, placed $4,000, 100000 to the
credit Of our export trade.
Another striking example of the
growth of our export trade under pro-
tective tariff is found in the fact that
the excess of exports over imports il
the first three years of President Nc
kinley's term was nearly four times as
much as the entire excess Of exports over
imports from 1890 to the beginning of
the Mckinley administration. From
1870 to March l. 1897, the excess of
exports over imports was 1888, OPS .407:
from March !, 1891 to March ], 1900,
the excess of exports over imports was
4S3, 537,O49.
A comparison Of these figures shows
the relative effects Of Republican pro-.
lection and Democratic free trade or low
tariffs on the revenues Of the government
and the prosperity Of the country.

A man with red blood in his veins, a

America and its mission, an intense low

as a friend: unselfsh, modest as a wom-
