Congress Failure as n Check.
| know republicans say that congress
will hold the president in check. Why
did not the 5Sth congress hold him in
check? He convened it in extra
ordinary session to pass a bill to which
it was opposed and damned the legisla-
ton through both houses. 1t was in
awe of his displeasure that neither
house dared investigate the frauds
with which the postoffice department
was reeking, and it was upon his order
that congress adjourned in April,
though there was public business
enough to engage it until August. In
the history of the English speaking
peoples since the reign of the Tudor
princes in the mother country, there
has been no more subservient legisla-
ture than the 5Sth congress of the
United States of America.
That was when Roosevelt was only

masters TO build ships to promote
trade, II is childish; it is absurd: it is
stupid.
There was a time when we had the
most extensive merchant marine in the
world which carried our flag to every
port where merchants adventuTed on
the entire globe. 1t was when we had
what James G. Blaine called the free
trade tariff of 1876" Return 10 such a
tariff and the merchant marine will fol-
low as the dawn of morn succeeds the
dusk of eve. and there will be no oc-
casion for an illegal. an unconstitution-
al and an immoral subsidy TO bring il
about.
What do they say? That owing 10 our
navigation laws. we cannot buy cheap
ships abroad. and sail them under an
American registry. and owing to our
tariff laws. we cannot build ships be-
cause of the high duties on raw materi-
ais. and thus the American farmer and
the American laborer must be taxed
10 pay the American shipwright the
difference in the cost of a ship exactly
like it, on the Clyde. Why not give
the American shipbuilder the benefit of
as cheap raw material as can be had
AT Glasgow. Scotland. or Belfast, Ire
land? That is the best way. and the
only way TO make a cheap ship, but
that would defeat and overthrow the
great republican dogma and paternal-
ism and favoritism. With the triumph
of the republican party in November.
the ship subsidy is as certain of adop-
ton as the policy of eXtortionate pro-
lection is certain to continue.
Here is one of its workings. For
some Of the purposes of citizenship. the
man in Kentucky, grazing beeves for
the foreign market is as deserving and
is as patriotic as the man in Massachu-
sets engaged in catching fish for the

American market. and so is the man in
Iowa. feeding hogs TO be turned into
bacon; but for taxing purposes there
is a great deal Of difference. Nobody
can supply the American market with
beef or bacon as cheaply as the Ameri-
can farmer and graZier can supply
them, and as a consequence, ii is an
economic impossibility to protect
them by tariff. though it were high
enough to be absolutely prohibitOry;
but somebody can supply the American
market with fish cheaper than the
Massachusetts fisherman can supply ii.
and so he is protected by an eXOrbitant
tariff that is practically prOhibitory.
Nor is that all-he is favored with free
salt to cure his catch; but the Iowa far
mer must pay a tax to the salt trust be-
fore he can cure his bacon.
Subsidy On His Boat Also.
The moderate man would say there
are advantages enough for the Massa-
chusetts fisherman-taxed fish for his
customers and free salt for himself:
but not So The ship subsidy promises
him 81 a ton on the entire measure
ment of all dee psea fishing vessels.
though they are engaged in carrying
nobody's goods but their owners. How
is that for robbing?
One thing is certain, and that is that
a merchant marine and a protective
tariff are as inconsistent and no more
in accord than the tune of Green Slaves
and Old Hundred We cannot have
both at the same time. When you
gather figs from thistles you may
evolve merchant marine out of pro-
tective tariff-not before.
1t is surely generally agreed that
Roosevelt, the man, is one of the lead
ing issues of this campaign, possibly the
most conspicuous of all other issues.
The excuse given for the appointment

when he shall become triumphant
when his ambition shall be in the fruit?
He will be a holy terror, a bull in a
china shop. and he will do exactly as
he pleases. Is not that the man'S
character? When was it that a Tepubli-
can congress rebelled against the
policy of a republican president? The
republican party is not made that way.
AS a political machine it is the NEST

ever known. AS the soldier in the
field. it obeys orders. and if Roosevelt
should be elected. and the 49th con
gress should have a republican major
