1t will be worth watching how far the
senate will incline an ear to suggestions of
tariff reciprocity, when the retaliatory shoe
begins to pinch certain industrial interests.
The Chinese boycott on American goods pro-
voked at once an executive order softening
the asperities of our exclusion law administra-
tion. There is some reason for believing that
the rigors of the law itself may be realized
and softened when senators learn that the
pocketbook nerve of their constituents has
been touched. Moreover, the advsability of
tariff concessions may be borne in upon the
senate anew when the new German tariff be-
comes operative It's double line of duties is
admirably constructed as a diplomatic club.
What! the United States do not like the new
higher level of duties on agricultural pro-
ducts? The imperial government will be
pleased to give us the benefit of the lower
duties, if we can arrange little concession
on German products. 1t reminds one of the
wag who stepped on strangers corn, and
exclaimed in absent-minded apology, Pray,
don't mention it; the pleasure is mine." Our
state department is said to have informed
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the German am
bassador, that it Is futile to offer new recipro-

In the Metropolitan Magazine for September

has an elaborate defense of the Ku Klux Klan
which he pictures in the light of benevolent
Institution, established to protect the white south
srners under the oppression of earpet-bag gov
The truth of history is, that, as originally
organized and led, the Ku Klux Klan was the
sole guardian of civilization in the south from
1857 to 1870, and it's members were the salt
OF the earth. Every hope of relief for the
south had been crushed. The assassination
OF Lincoln had so crazed the masses of the
north that the radical wing of the party in
power could propose no outrage too mons
trous for the consideration of congress- Even

pie the remnant of their property left by the

OF the civil commission has fallen like a
pestilence on the unfortunate people Of Ca
vite. 1t is only natural that the present state
of affairs should fill us with the gravest ap-
prehension. We say frankly and with deep
sorrow that this measure which causes SO
much suffering is not justified by the good at
which it claims to aim. There are created by
it feelings of animosity and rancor that will
not be forgotten for many years-perhaps
never. T.-is same view of the situation was
taken by famous American, the son OF
General Grant.
The dismal failure of his reform plans is
brought out forcibly by comparison of the
work of Folk in Missouri or that Of LaFollette
in Wisconsin. While Roosevelt has been Oc-
cnpying his time talking to women's clubs
about their duties to society in raising big
families, Folk has been busy scheming to
oust the grafters in Missouri. LaFollette was
master of the situation in Wisconsin and ex-
ecuted his plans in the face of an overwhelm-
ing opposition In the legislature. Folk has
won in the fight against the grafters of Mis-
souri, at every turn of the road But at
Washington every plan of the president for
honest government has been quietly laid on
the shelf by the national grafters and he has
been left high and dry on the beach at every
point with nothing to do but devote his time
to advertising the stOrk and killing bears.
Folk has had no vacation this summer.
There can be no vacation for the man who
successfully fights the CRATER of Missouri or
New York. Poor Roosevelt! How the
railroad grafters must have chuckled when
his warm-hearted loyalty to friendship lost
him an opportunity and he whitewashed
Paul Morton. Poor Fillmore county farmers
who howled SO loud for him! How the beef
trust must have grinned over the Garfield re-
port. But after all Roosevelt is to be pitied
rather than blamed True reform must
come from the bottom, not from the top. The
Nebraska farmers, the honest old hard
headed reformers who have an influence in
their own neighborhood, the men who could
by their efforts control conventions, send
good men to the legislature, prevent railroad
tools from going to congress- and put fear
less governors in executive chairs-these are
the men who can do more toward good gov
ernment, both in the state and the nation,
than anyone else. If they had kept up the
fight they began SO we'll back in the nineties,
there would be less railroad rule today less
taxes OF pay, lower prices on trust products,
and less of the profits Of the farm absorbed
by high freight rates necessary to pay divi-
dends on watered stock.-Geneva (Neb.)

The Renacimento, native Filipino pape
published at Manila calls attention to the tyran
nical and cruel RECOMMENDATION in Cavit
province:
We have insisted on calling the attention
of the government to the alleged cruel pro-
ceedngs they took place. AT the end Of
last May, in consequence of the reconcentra-
tion which the Philippine commission autho-
rized the constabulary to establish or which
it took leave to enforce, not only in Cavite,
but also in the other privinces, we gave the
matter a thorough examination. The civil
commission has just approved a law giving
IT, governor-general power to order recon-
centration in the barrios of Cavite and wher-
ever else it should be necessary. Our argu-
ments against this stringent measure have
had no influence with the government, and
did not produce any amelioration of the con-
dtions. 1t seems that the magnanimous
spirit which in the American congress cried
out SO Indignantly against the Weylerian
proceedings in Cuba is uneoncerned about
conditions in the Philippines. The ordinance

TREND TOWARD DEsPoTIsM

The editor of The Public of Chicago, takes
President Roosevelt to task in the following terms
for his paternalistc policy with reference to botl
domestic and foreign affairs:
His idea of wellordered society is
paternalistic, and nothing but paternalistic.
It is one which regards home affairs, public
and private, as things to be paternally regu-
lated, In generals and In Details by power
ful central government, operating benevo-
lenty through administrative bureaus respon-
sible to governmental head-center; and it
cOntemplates foreign affairs as consisting in
a paternal regulation of little nations in re-
turn for protecting them from the agressions
Of big ones This Rooseveltian idea stands
out clear and unafraid in the Chautauqua
speech. 1t is despotism, of course, and with
nothing to recommend it but that which des
potism always pleads in It's own defense-its
benevolent and ethical purpose. The plea is
now as always bad one Even If benevolent
and ethical, who could guarantee the benevo-
lence and vouch for the ethics of the despot?
Much wiser than his Philippine policy is the
sentiment of President Roosevelts letter to
the negro business mems convention at New
York on the 10th, in which he advised the
negro race that 1T is as true of race as of
an individual, that while outsiders can help
to certain degree yet the real help must
come in the shape Of selfhelp." Why is that
true OF oppressed American negroes seeking
pIOlcCtioHs anu not true OI conquered Fill
pinos seeking independence?
The presidents bad logic Is attracting the
attention of many editorial writer's, who continue
10 ask questions which must certainly annoy the
president il he is a devotee Of press-clipping
bureau:
gsg What is the matter with the Sherman
antitrust law? Why not enforce it against all
violators of its provisions? "The government"
says the president has very properly ex-
ercised moderation in attempting to enforce
the criminal provisions Of the statute; but it
has become our conviction that in some cases
such as that of at least certain of the beef
packers recently indicted at Chicago, it is
impossible longer to show leniency.' Here
again we have the spirit of usurpation. The
president as the executive should execute the
law not only against the Chicago beef pack
ers, but against all law-breakers. 1t is for the
courts to show leniency if the case before
them calls for mercy. But for the president
as the chief of the attorney general, who is
the chief of the United States prosecuting at
torneys, to prevent prosecutions because he
believed leniency is the proper policy shows
that he has mistaken his oath of office to an
extent which is highly dangerous for the
country He has gone beyond the powers
of the king of England, and has come near
the despotism of the czar, which is the cause
OF many of the woes of Russia.-Houston
TEX Chronicle.

do unto others as We would that they
should do unto you" is the golden rule. The
reciprocity hcwlers revise the golden rule to
read do only unto others what they are
willing to do unto you" An eye for an eye
and tooth for a tooth, is the doctrine of the
reciprocity boys. A protective tariff is a
graft of the manufacturers upon the consum-
ers. How absurd it is, therefore, to take the
attitude that we will not graft SO much from
our people provided that other countries will
not graft so much from their people. Reci-
procity is not public question. 1t is simply
a matter of private policy among the tariff
grafters. The Chicago reciprocity convention
is really a quarrel over the division of the
spois.-Columbus Press-Post.
The independent., 1905-08-24
RECIPROCITY AND PROTECTION

The entire nation is taking deep interest in
the tariff question, and the reciprocity conference
at Chicago, therefore, was closely watched. The
demand for open markets abroad has led the peo
pie to understand that the home market cannot
be kept closed. Governor Cummins captured the
when he said in his address,
Reciprocity has been damned with faint
praise and with false friends long enough.
The time has come to unmask so that the
people may know who stand for and who
stand against this doctrine. The friends of
reciprocity, the advocates of reciprocity have
passed through years of depression and dis
cOuragement simply because it has been
coddled in conventions and crucified in con-
gress. 1t has been eulogized in the abstract
and condemned in the concrete. And the
hour has arrived when it is fair to ask those
who were hostile to the policy to avow it;
and | am gratiied beyond measure that in
the course of this struggle there appears to
be some sign now that those who fight it
will come out in the open."
New legislation is indeed necessary if the
United States is not to be elbowed out of the
markets of continental Europe by sliding-scale
tariffs such as that which Germany has re-
Gently enacted. Definite action against us is
menaced in Russia, France, Italy and Austria
Hungary. The Chamberlain agitation in Eng
land is aimed first of all against our farm
products for the closer linking of Canada and
Australia with the home country But Mr..
Roosevelt-where stands he? From the day
when he promised to carry out McKinleys
policy, which included reciprocity, to the day
when he permitted the "stand-patters' to push
him off his extra-sesson stand, how great
apparent change!-New York World.
