Some time ago the Home Market
club sent circulars to "men of intelli-
gence and home prominence, chiefly
presidents of colleges and banks and
the heads Of large manufacturing es-
Establishments throughout the country"
asking their views as to the proper
means of establishing the American
merchant marine in the foreign trade.
Answers were received from 103 per-
sons. OF these 60 per cent. or 4J6. ia
vored duties and regula tions: 10 per
cent, or 132, favored subsidies; II per
cent. or sc, favored both. and 4 per
cent, or 90, wanted neither.
Among the per cent was President
Eliot of Harvard university. One of
LIS proposed remedies was, Put on
the free list all materials which enter
into The building or equipping of mer-
chant vessels
Mr.. w. l.. Marvin, author of "The
American Merchant Marine" promptly
points out the fact which all men not
drawing their knowledge from internal
consciousness knew-viZ, that both the
Mckinley and the Dingley laws ex-
elapted from duty materials for for.
cgn or round the cape shipping. In
fact. right under President ElOt's nose
the Sewalls of Bath had built steel
ship of free foreign made materials.
And great many men are expending
in the neighborhood of $1,000 year
that their sons may be educated" at
Harvard.

II Will BE Found Always Striving to
Keep American Wage Earners Pro-
vided With steady and Remunera-
tive Employment.
The protection Republicans--and they
number 90 per cent of the party with
out doubt-will agree heartily with
Senator Foraker that the last people
in this country who should fear a gen.
eral tariff debate are the Republicans.
This is the senator's way Of express
ing his opinion that congress should
take up the question of insular free
trade, with a view to giving the Phil
ippines the same tariff concessions as
have been granted to Porto Rico. He
will discover however, that the reason
general tariff debate is emphatically
different from his so far as concerns
the removal of duties on imports from
the Philippines.
Mr. Foraker would welcome a re-
opening of the whole subject to show
that the party is not unwilling to re-
duce tariff schedules. The general Re-
publican party, however, would well
come it as an opportunity for standing
by its guns. Since the Mckinley Ding.
ley policy set American Industries on
their feet again, put our wage earners
ut work. fattened up their savings
banks accounts and gave every one his
share of the national prosperity we
have had Iowa ideas, Massachusetts
IDEAS. Cuban reciprocity ideas and 9th
crs which are wont to come to peo-
pie we'll fed. comfortable and happy
and so somewhat careless of the fu-
turc. Some Of them have died a-born-
Ing; one unfortunately has become
fact. But there will be very little fur
ther change from this American policy
without a very large and a very crit
ical change. The Republican party
realizes keenly that there has come a
Variation III the industrial situation
which makes it the first work and the
most important duty of the party to
keep American wage earners in their
employment. Ten years ago 1t was to
set them to work. Seven years ago 1t
was to pay them for their work with an
honest dollar. -Four years ago perhaps
it was to gain new markets abroad for
them and for capital. Now it is to sus-

wage earners at work, to continue the
employment of our own capital.
