Compromise and the Tariff

Mr.. Shaw's address in Richmond
last night was full Of tariff doctrine.
and in addition has bits Of political
wisdom thrown in that some old
time politicians might ponder with
profit. He said: Every tariff law
is an aggregation of compromises %
and proceeded to show how the Re-
publican party never claimed perfec-
ton in any schedule. but only in the
underlying, general principle.
Governmental policies ought to be
fairly well settled along the lines of
the best interests of the people;
politics, however, is the science of
compromise in political affairs, the
method of approximation to the
ideal. In the old days there were
at least two great schemes of govern
mental policy dividing the thought
OF the people of the United States;
these schemes have come down to the
present as an inheritance from the
past; the tariff is confused with these
greater questions, although, in itself,
1t is not necessarily allied with
either.
The tariff has been correctly char
acterized as a purely local policy; 1t
is upheld by manufacturing, and op-
posed by agricultural, communities
In proportion to the competition they
have to meet. Formerly the South
marketed its raw products, sugar and
cotton, and had practically a monop-
oily OF them; at present this absolute
monopoly is threatened, If not
broken, and manufactures are
springing mp all over the South. Co.
incident with this change through
out the South has been a change of
view with regard to the tariff, and
today, if the Republican party could
rub some of the sand out of its eyes
1T could see the way clear to cap
turing large percentage of the in
dustrial voters of the Southern
States
In this practical world compromise
is the best we can do. 1t is in order
for the Republican party to do a lit
tie compromising with the South, and
1t will be met more than half way.

State in the Senate. no matter what
the cost. either. to him or the State.
And yet-such is the impotence of
evil and the latent power of good,
even in politics-his power grew
steadily less. Not money, or ma
chimes, or patronage, or control of
the elections could save him. Yes
terday he was beaten in party con-
ference. He and his methods were
condemned largely through the eff
forts of men once rated as his sup
porters and committed to his meth
DDS. Fighting to the end, he with
drew rather than be put out. And
the spectacle he afforded as he left
the conference chamber, sputtering
and sizzling, comported beautifully
with his descreditable and unproduc-
tive career.
Let the man who grows discour-
aged at the power of money in poll
tics consider this and take heart.
Let the men who are throttling other
States consider it too. In the end
the people of America will have hon
est government and they will punish
with firm hands the men who have
served them dishonesty. The news
of Addicks' downfall-if 1t prove
true-is auspicious.

Count Witte.

Count Witte is perhaps the ablest
statesman in all Russia, but at the
same time he is statesman of the
Russian school; lover of the round
about, circuitous method of telling
the truth, and his great weakness is
an abnormally developed love of the
limelight.
If the advices from st. Petersburg
can be accepted at their face value,
Count Witte is about to get all the
limelight even he can desire. He is
to be made chancellor of Russia, and
will be subject to Interpolation by
the leaders of the shadowy and pros
pective douma- On every show-day
of that skeleton of legislative body
the count will rise to answer ques-
tons by the opposition: he will be
covered with gold-lace, decorations, ct
cetera, and surrounded by an aura Of
tremendous gravity and Importance
With twinkle in his eye that may
suggest to some studious hearer Car
dinal Wolsey and his 81 and my
King" he will put impertinent ques-
tons aside with, my imperial mas
ter, the Gar, thinks"
If Count Witte could have full au-
thority to reorganize Russia along
an approximation TO modern lines it
would be well for that country, but

Addicks' Hari-

The country holds its breath to-
day in the hope that the mornings
news from Delaware may prove to
be true. On the face of it, the blight
Of ]. Edward Addicks and the shadow
of his political desperation have been
lifted. If 1t should mean all this,
then sovereign State bought and
sold in the open market, has been re-
deemed after ten long, wretched,
ignominious years of this mans
leadership.
About ten years ago the country
started at the tidings that a stock
operator, openly charged with most
OF the offenses fostered by modern
stock jobbing, had set about deliber-
ately TO force mis- way into the Unit
ed States Senate as d representative
of the State Of Delaware. The declar-
alton was clear, no denial was made
that the methods were to be those
that would produce results, and II
was common talk, in the State and
out of 1t, that the barrel" was large
and open. Two years later Addicks
received the full recognition of the
Republican National Committee.
That was the perihelion of his
power. He controlled the patronage
he labeled all the Republicans OF
conviction regular or irregular, as
pleased him, and he named the
party's representatives at the polls.
Money flowed in those days copiously
and indiscriminately. The negro
voters as a class, and a shoclsi.ee
proportion of the whites as class
bid up their ballots like auctIoneers
In the view OF the whole country
the State of Delaware sold itself and
all its ofiices-not for great conces-
sion, like the Louisiana lottery; not
for the patronage of spenders like
those who followed the prizefighters
to Nevada; not even for the advan-
tage or huge machine, like that
which controlled the neighborine
State Of Pennsylvania; but for the
little bribes of single man who had
caused II to be announced IN his
name that he meant to represent the

A Presidential Car.

Some time ago, on Thursday, May
Is, 1905, to be exact, this paper ad-
vocated providing the President with
special train of cars at the cost
of the nation.
We do not know. and do not care,
whether we were the first to sug-
gest such thing; but We note with
pleasure that the papers all over the
country, and of every shade OF politi-
cal affiliation, are supporting the idea
and along the very lines suggested
by us.
Let the good work go on.

in Hot Contest for Senate-Letter Car

THE Senatorial contest IN our State
promises to be the most interesting that
has taken place in years." said o. B.

today. Mr.. Harvey is a prominent busi-
ness man. and stopped over on his way
North.
Friends of Gov. Bob Taylor are
working now with an activity that
would suggest that the primary election
is only a month off instead OF six
months" said Mr. Harvey. But do not
think that the adherents of Senator Car
mack are idle. The people of Tennessee
know Taylor and they know Carmack.
and for that reason 1 look for a very
close vote in the primaries. Taylor is
magnetic man, can make speech 10
set the crowd In good humOr. and if u
vote could be taken in each county just
after one of his speeches he would carry
the crowd with him. Senator Carmack
is a power on the stump He is a diff
ferent class of speaker; he, too, can hold
a crowd. and his stories always get the
glad hand. Taylor is now making. an
active canvass, and Senator Carmack is
also doing some preliminary work. Both
sides are keeping down personalities
which seem bent on cropping out. My
judgment is the return or Carmack VIII
be for the best interest of the State.
But it will be no cbild's play; 1t will
be swift political game
