What the Tariff Has Done
Virginia Daily Press.

Virginia Daily Press.
What has developed America into the
greatest, grandest and finest manufactur-
Ing country upon the globe, if her protec-
tive policy is wrong? But few years ago
the balance of trade was against us; that
is, we bought more than we sold. Now
the balance of trade in our favor runs into
the millions. In 1903 we exported ST.
457, 452, 900, and 1904 shows several mil
lions increase. This is the largest export
trade Of any nation upon the face of the
earth. This under a protective tariff.
Better leave Cleveland at Princeton,
Parker at Esopus and let Prosperity under
Roosevelt have her sway.

1ammany and the Sugar Trust.

Philadelphia Press.
The contest against State Senator Nc
Carren in New York by Murphy, the Tam
many leader, is becoming quite interest
ing. McCarren is chairman of the Demo
cratic State Executive Committee, and
thus has charge of the State canvass. But
Murphy is bitterly opposed to him and
threatens some startling disclosures" I'M
less McCarren is removed.
Cord Meyer, the chairman of the State
committee, who appointed McCarren, is
heavily interesed in the Sugar Trust, and
McCarren was known at Albany as the
Sugar Trust lobbyist, When the State Leg
stature investigated the trust some years
ago McCarren was the only member Of the
COMMITTEES to sustain the trust, and he
made a minority report to that effect. 1t
is quite probable that Murphy could make
some interesting disclosures about McCar
rem.
The treasure VI the Democratic National
Committee is also Sugar man, and is a
director in such an institution. Haveme-
yer, the head of the trust, is warm SUPP
porter of Parker. 1t looks as though the
Democrats would be we'll "sweetened" for
the campaign by the Sugar Trust. Murphy
will hardly be allowed to make his disclos-
ures. Peace will be purchased at some
price, though 1t may be heavy one for
the trust. But it can afford to pay.

scure and uncertain, and insists that he
ought to speak in more definite terms.
When he says that We ought to give the
FilipinUs 'self-government," the ''World"

dependence, but admits that there is go
much doubt about what it does mean that
II calls for an explicit and unequiYocal
declaration. The World" is in favor of
American withdrawal from-the Philippines;
the Eagle" is in favor of holding them;
each interprets the candidate according to
its own view, but the "World" demands
delIverence that cannot be mistaken.
What Judge Parker says on the subject
jusrihes these conflicting interpretations.
1t faces both ways. The Democratic plat
form insists upon independents" for the
Philippines and insists upon promising it
now. Judge Parker avoids useing the word
and, of course, avoids it by design. He
wishes to evade that issue. But the
"World" demands that he shall say in bis
letter what he ran away from in his speech,
and be must speak out plainly one way or
the other, or stand condemned for DELHI
crate evasion.

Protection for American Citizens.

Philadelphia Press.
The Turkish Government has learned
the salutary lesson that the United States
protects the rights of its citizens wherever
they are and whatever their calling.
Unlike some European Governments,
notably France and Germany, the United
States has never had for the missionary
and his schools, his tracts and his sermons
rule and practice different from that
which it adopts for all its citizens. To the
United States, as a Government, it makes
no difference whether its citizen abroad
sells calico or Bibles, opens warehouse or
church, establishes II school or factory.
either case with impartial hand the United
States has insisted that treaty rights en-
joyed by the citizens of any country should
not be denied to its own citizens.
By Turkey they we're denied. French
men and Germans, Engllshmen and Ital-
ians opened schools where. American
schools were closed. Government examl-
nations for medical practice or other license
were open to graduates of schools taught
by other nationalities, but closed to those
taught in American schools. American
missionaries and American merchants both
found their applications for permits to
build, to repair or to travel denied. AID
American in the employ of an American
Missionary board was denied the right to
travel and preach, where an Euglishman
in the employ of the same board obtained
permit without difficulty.
To the United States the missionary
board is simply an American corporation,
carrying on work recognized by treaty,
and denied its right under the treaty be.
cause it is American. The religious charac-
ter of the work has nothing to do with it
one way or the other. An American citi-
zen never gains rights nor loses them by
becoming missionary. Our Government
cannot ask one and it connot permit the
other.
This denial of rights by Turkey has
mounted and increased through twenty
years. The Turkish Government chose
to single out American citizens for the de-
NAL of rights freely accorded to other ma
tionalities. This was intolerable. After
decade of negotiation definite issue has
been made and won. The rights of all
American citizens in Turkey are left more
secure by the act. The Turkish Govern
ment has learned once for all, in the only
way that that Government ever learns
display of force-that an
American citizen must have the same
rights in Turkey, no more and no less, as
are enjoyed under like treaties by the citi-
sens of other countries pursuing the same
vacations, asking the same privileges and
lischarging the same duties.

The StatesbOrO Horror.
Virginia Daily Press.

Virginia Daily Press.
Of all the horrible and unspeakable
crimes committed against law, order, a
Christian civilization, that of the burning
of the negroes in Statesboro, Georgia, last
Tuesday heads the list.
There was no possible excuse for it..
They were not charged with the unspeak-
able crime. The charge was murder. There
was no delay of justice. The crime of which
they were charged had been perpetrated
but three weeks, and they had been in
dicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced to
death.
A set of men with instincts that would
put to shame the savagery of the aborigine
of the forest, took them from the temple
of justice, surrounded them with faggots
and oil and roasted them alive.
The man who loves Christ and believes
in the divine message, "peace on earth,
good will to man," must hide bis face, for
justice and mercy have departed.

BrYan's tariff plank, in which he caused
the Democrats to denounce protection as a
robbery of the many to enrich the few, is
rather at variance with the Bourbon claim
that it is not opposed to the system which
safeguards American labor. ID is good
thing that the Nebraskah was permitted
to make the position of the party of which
he is still the real if not the nominal leader
perfectly plain, otherwise we should have
heard Parker's stump orators assert that
he is not disposed to strike at the existing

SLEMP is ALL RIGHT

Our esteemed contemporary, the Rich
mond News Leader, is beginning to take
a hand in the politics of the Ninth Con-
gressisnal District and is urging that Col.
Slemp be defeated. 1t offers no reason
for the advice it gives the people of the
district, except that Colonel Slemp is a
warm supporter of Mr.. Roosevelt. Our
Richmond contemporary will find that the
Republicans of the Southwest are just as
warmly for President Roosevelt as is
Colonel Slemp, and that be cannot be de-
feated at fair election.
The News Leader says it was among the
FIRST to take its stand against the frauds
that were attempted to be used just after
the election in 1902 to cheat Colonel Slenp
out of his seat in Congress, We give our
contemporary notice that there is no pos
sible chance to defeat him at the coming
election without similar or other fraudu-
lent devices are used The effort to en-
compass his defeat by showing that be
stands for Roosevelt and the declarations
of the Republican party will not make him
unpopular with our people. By the way, we
wish the News Leader would give some
specific, sound reasons for being hostile
to President Roosevelt. We can't recall
that it has ever done so.
