TALK SHIP SUBSIDY AGAIN.
Pennsylvania Republicans Are Still
for the Old Flag and an
Appropriation.

The republicans of Pennsylvania al
their late state convention deplored
the condition of American shipping
and, the fact that nine out of every
ten ships which brought our imports
and bore away u exports last year
were foreign vessels, built abroad, Off
cered and manned abroad, a part of
the potential naval reserve of foreign
governments" This depressing fact
seemed to have weighed upon the mind
OF Senator Quay, who dominated the
convention and who wrote or was re.
sponsible for the platform, for the plat
form continues, that it favored "the
building of an American merchant ma
rine that American built ships and
American seamen may have the carry
ing or at least a fair proportion oJ
American passengers and freightage."
This apparently patriotic utterance did
not evidently Tighten the gloomy feel
ings of Senator Quay, nor even one of
the hundreds of his satellites that at
tended the convention. No suggestion
was made of any hope of a way to i'm
prove this desperate condition. Thecon-
vention wishes to leave it to the voters
to discover the remedy. But this lack
OF foresight, OF statement of what
would quickly relieve the American
ship trust magnates from the slough OF
despond, was well known to Senator
Quay. Only a short time before the
platform was concocted he had prom
lsed Grlscom and Cassatt, respectively.

that such a plank would be included, SC
that when the ship subsidy bill was
received in congress all the Pennsyl-
vania delegation could justify their
votes for subsidy. The prospect of a
good large subsidy always cheers the
dropping spirits of a Pennsylvania re-
publican, but 1t does not always do to
publicly resolve for it, so Quay left the
voters in the dark and left them to
brood over the decline of the Ameri-
can marine.

Trade with Philippines.

For a people that have the reputa
ton of being the shrewdest business
people in the world, we Americans are
amazingly stupid when it comes to
dealing with such questions as this.
We act OH the theory that the Filipi-
nos are bound to trade with us and
that they will, therefore, be compelled
to surmoumt any obstacle that we may
see fit to interpose between them and
ourselves. We insist on treating the
Philippines as foreign territory when
it comes to imposing tariff duties.
They are not represented in congress.
The islands are not even a territory of
the United States. The Filipinos are
not citizens of the United States. Our
whole contention has been that the
Islands were foreign to us-they are
not part of us, they belong to us. Yet
when it comes to trade we propose tc
treat them as purely domestic terri.

Not the Same Roosevelt.

Before he became president he was

well as of tariff reform and the merit
system. In taking the place of the dead
Mckinley he voluntarily pledged him
self to carry out Mr.. McKinley's policy,
the very corner stone of which was reci-
procity. And yet he had been in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's seat but a short time before the
developments of the ambitious political
game he had set out to play convinced
him that his success would be ~furthered
by turning his back on reciprocity and
tariff reform, and this he not only did
but he buried reciprocity in the grave OF
its champion while he trampled the
merit system under foot at every sten
