IL one DOunQ General CnarleS LICK,
~ Junior United States senator
from Ohio. has jumped to the
center Of the stage and right
into the nmelight. No doubt the stand
patters pulled the strings which caused
the general-senator tomake the leap. He
boldly says: Here am with remedy
for the deficit! Restore the internal rev.
enue tax system in vogue during the
| Spanish war and all will be

a political standpoint, nothing would
please me better than to see a Repub-
lican congress adopt General-Senator
Dicks plan, for II 1t does adopt 1t the
next house Of representatives at Wash

Likewise the president and house elect

The Washington Post, independent,
but consistent protection advocate,
has sense enough to scent danger. 1t
doesn't like Dicks plan little bit. In
l
Time of Peace" 1t says:
Senator Dick of Ohio has a remedy for
the treasury deficit. and very effectual
one He would reimpose the Spanish war
taxes on numerous articles. There is no
difficulty in understanding the senator's
position. 1t is perfectly clear. The PRES

presidential probability rather than as
presidential possibility. This. Of
course, has reference to the nomina-
ton and not to the election, for the way
things are running now the chances are
that the Democrats, and not the Repub-
leans, will elect the the next president.
It is strange that In all the jabber
about whom the Republicans will nom
mate SO little Is said about Uncle
Joe. It's a ten to one shot that the
stand patters will control the next Re
publican national convention. II 30,
why not nominate Uncle Joei From
the stand pat viewpoint he % sound on
the goose. He more than any other
man caused President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft to take water on the
proposition to buy where we can buy
the cheapest when purchasing ships
and materials for the construction Of
the Panama canal. Honor should be
bestowed where honor Is due, and the
lions share Of the honor, from q stand
pat view, belongs to the speaker. In
his blunt, vigorous way he blurted out
the stand pat gospel at the critical mo-
ment and aroused such q storm OF
stand pat protest that the president and
his war secretary concluded to refer
the whole matter to congress-. and such
congress- two to one Republican
majority In both branches, with Mr..
Speaker Cannon sitting on the lid In the
more numerous branch, where money
bills must originate. What more could
the stand patters desire7 Who said the
house has lost its power when the
speaker can turn trick like that7 30,
unless the stand patters are destitute Of
gratitude, they will be much inclined
to rally round the sage Of Danv1lle.
He must be In great glee at the ap.
pointment of Hon, Elihu Root as sec.
rotary Of state, for he Will make the
third active presidential candidate in
President Roosevslt's official family
Taft, Shaw, Root-to say nothing OF
Secretary Cortelyou, who Is said to be
in receptive frame Of mind now. As
certain as fate. Colonel Roosevelt can.
not support all three Of them, and the
chances are that by their chickering's,
ambitions and jealousies they will
make his life SO miserable that he Will
end by supporting none OF them. So
the more cabinet presidential candi.
dates there are the better will Uncle
Joe's prospects become.
He is a veteran pubic functionary
He knows the governmental machine
from top to bottom. He has the pop.
plar manner developed to an extraor-
binary degree. He can make as fetch
ing speech as any Of them. He
would have the great Illinois delega-
tion solidly at his back. Most Of his
congressional brethren would support
him enthusiastically. With the admin
istratlon forces divided, he would per-
haps land the presidential persimmon.
In the next two years until we elect
a Democratic house he will have many
opportunities to distinguish himself,
and 1t Is certain that he win avail
himself Of them to the utmost.

An Astoundlnc canal onlnIon.

A recent dispatch from Council

to the American people who are to pay
the fiddler. Hon. ]. d. Yeomans of that
city, ten years member of the inter
state commerce commission, but no
longer connected with that august
body, in an interview relieved his mind
by these words:

Wallace made q fool Of himself trying

It will be remembered that the Re-
publican national platform Of 1904
contained this mendacious sentence:
"a Republican tariff is always fol-
lowed by business prosperity. a Demo
cratic tariff by adversely" For saying
that that statement was q lie I was
hauled over the Goals by Mr.. Secre-
tary Shaw In his speeches In and about
st. Louis, and the st. Louis Globe
Democrat jumped on me with both
feet, and. having no argument to urge,
It contented itself with personal abuse.
Governor Shaw, in order to bolster up
the false platform declaration, under
took to make 1t appear that the panic
Of 1857 was produced by the Walker
Democratic tariff Of 1916 and the
amendments thereto Of March 3, 1857,
and, as the Globe Democrat published
his erroneous statements and dimsy
logic with concentrations, 1t stood by

A Washington dispatch contains this
remarkable statement: "a threatened
crisis in the governmental affairs Of
the Philippine Islands, the alleged
partial failure Of the administration Of
Governor General Luke Wright-these
are the two things which make 1t Inn
perative for Secretary Of War Taft to
60 to the Philippines" Alas and
alack! With General Wood at home to
have his head doctored and with Gov
ernor General Luke Wright's admins
tration going to 'the demnition bow
vows" how can it be claimed with a
straight face that the pacihcation Of
the Philippines is complete? It's all
bosh. And they might as well quit
lying about It.
Senator Chauncey Mitchell Depew
says, 1--WE must inaugurate training
school for future consular and diplo-
matte employees of the United States"
and then goes on to argue for life
tenure and higher salaries. But why
have training school for consuls and
diplomats and have none for repre-
sentatives and senators in congress,
cabinet officers and federal judges, vice
presidents and presidents? The body
Of the American people are opposed to
life tenure and to official classes. The
senator names certain capable minis
tiers abroad that we have had, but,

Civil Pensions.

n OTVII FVIfSIOnSs -.
The Washington Post is urging edi-
torially pension system for civil en-
ployees of the government. 1t cites
the retirement of army and navy Of
ficers on three-fourths pay and the re-
tirement of federal judges on full pay
as precedents, but they are bad prece-
dents and should never have been es-
tablished. There has never. yet been
suggested valid argument why civil
employees should be pensioned. They
are paid higher wages than the average
for like work the country over, and
there are just as good reasons for a
general old age pension as there are for
pensioning them.

racts or history In order to deceive the
unwary voter into supporting Repub-
lican candidates and policies. Conse-
quent1y In an elaborate editorial on re-
cent bank failures the Globe Democrat
says, inter ALA: 1.-THE wild specula-
ton In western lands and In the con-
struction Of railways beyond the I'M
mediate needs Of the country, which
were the chief causes Of the wreck in
1857, is conspicuously absent now"
The chief causesl That's a confession
on the part Of the Globe Democrat
which should do it good. But II the
Globe Democrat is right now as to the
chief causes of the panic OF 1857, what
about those great campaign speeches
Of Mr.. Secretary Shaw in 1904 in which
he boldly asserted that the wicked
Democratic Walker tariff Of 1916 was
the great and only cause Of that wide
spread disaster? Ought he not to re-
wise those oracular utterances, which
the Globe-Democrat published with
glaring headlines and with tremen-
dous flourish Of trumpets Isn't 1t high
time for the secretary to do a little
confessing himself? Will he do it?
Not much, and, Notwithstanding the
above quoted sentence from the Globe
Democrat, when the Republicans find
themselves hard pressed on the tariff
they will be busy quoting the old plat
form fable. Habit is very strong
strong sometimes as nature. Having
formally and solemnly declared in
their platform practically that the
panic of 1857 was produced by the
Democratic tariff Of 1916, the Repub-
licans are In the woeful plight of the
man who rashly declared his horse was
seventeen feet high and then erro-
neously concluded that he ought to
stick to that declaration. So they will
go on in the old way, telling the old
story and denying the truth.

MEXICO BUYS MOST HERE.
Southern Republic Purchases Three
Fifths of Her Imported Goods
from United States.

or all the goods Mexico buys abroad
she gets three-fifths from the United
States. OF all the goods she sells abroad
she sends t~hrce-quartors to the United
States. To be exact. the precise proper
tons are 50 per cent. and &c per cent
respectively. There is no other country,
except Canada, which buys so large 4 part
OF her imports from us, and there Is no
other country, except Cuba. which sells
so large a part OF her exports to us. The
last decade and a half have witnessed a
rapid growth of this trade. Our exports
to Mexico, which in the last fiscal year
were in round NUMBER $4,000, 600, have
increased three and q half times since
1890, and our imports, which were last
year $i4 100000, have practically dou-
bled. Railroad building is the great
cause for the growth. The through lines
have given cur merchants advantages
which merchants of other countries DO
not have, and which are still lacking to
us in our trade with the Central Amcri
can states. The AleXicanS take $1,000
coo worth of our coal and the same
amount of our raw cotton a year. The
spend about $4,000 900 each for our cars
and carriages. locomotives, mineral and
vegetable oils and lumber. Half a mil
lion dollars or more of their money is
paid out for scientific Instruments, for
electrical machinery. for builders hard
ware, for sewing machines and for fur
niture. Fate has dtcrccd that we are
only to have two immediate neighbors on
the continent, Mexico ard Canada. Both
Of them are good neighbors, CONNER
rially and otherwise. The more neigh
borly they get the better.
