AGITATORS MAKE TROUBLE
Paid Lobbyists Throng the Capitol
Trying to Influence for Tariff
Revision.

Under the leadership of men like
Babcock, of Wisconsin, and Cummins,
of Iowa, the farmers of the Mississippi
valley have been led to the idea that
the tariff on manufactured goods is al
together too high, and that its excess
is burdensome to them. Except for the
great popularity of President Roose-
welt and the strength of party tie,
coupled with the belief that it would
be better, at the worst, to stand pat"
than to entrust revision to the demo-
cracy, the great farming population of
the middle west might have endan-
gered republican success this year.
On the other hand, says the Salt
Lake City Tribune, the old-time and
high minded Legislators of the eastern
states have been governed by their
high regard for our ideals in legisla-
ton and by their experience, in their
opposition to any preesnt attempt to
revise the tariff, and their people have
supported them.
For instance, Senator Hale, of Maine,
is said to lead in the demand that the
tariff shall not be touched Those who
know him may well conceive that in
addition to his idea that the present
measure is as safe and just as any
which can be obtained he is opposed to
reopening of this question because it
floods the corridors of the capitol with
horde of paid lobbyists which class
the great senator from Maine most
cordially hates. He knows that they
have more or less influence on COM
mittees and that in controversies be-
fore the tariff makers the large and
prosperous industries get better con-
sideration than do the small and needy
ones. And therefore he prefers be-
cause of his experience with tariff
bills to oppose any attempted invasion
Of this matter during the present con-
gress.

SHOWER OF BULLETS.
1T PASSED OVER A CHAPEL IN
WHICH GAR WAS STANDING.
PALACE WINDOWS BROKEN
Indications Point to the Existence of
a Plot Against the Emperor in
Which ArtiIIerymen Were In
terested-NarroW Escape.

st Petersburg, Jan. 20.-The fes-
tival of the Epiphany, the blessing OF
the waters, had just concluded at l
o'clock Thursday afternoon when SIM
ultaneously with the salute fired from
the st. Peter and st. Paul fortress a
rain of bullets swept over the little
chapel built over the frozen Neva in
front of the winter palace where EN-
peror Nicholas and every member of
the Romanoff family were participat-
ing in the service.
The missiles went high, entering
windows of the splendid row of salons
along the water front from which the
empress, the ladies of the court and
the members of the diplomatic CORPS
and all the high dignitaries of the
state, army and navy were witnessing
the glittering spectacle below. Fortu-
nately the bullets passed over the
heads of all present, striking the op-
posite wall and Gathering down on the
parquetted floor of the white salon.
The emperor had a miraculous es-
cape. Some of the bullets struck the
little open chapel in which the en-
peror was standing, cut the staff of
one of the standards and fairly rid
died the basement windows of the
palace, wounding a policeman. Had
the gun been aimed a little lower the
charge of grape might have wiped out
the whole ROmanoff dynasty.
Everything on the surface seems to
indicate the existence of a deep laid
plot against the emperor in which
artill llprVmpn were enlisted If &c nm
derstood that all the men and the of
ficers of the battery were Immediately
placed under arrest. The police took
charge of the spot wher the battery
stands and drew a double Gordon
across the river, searching out every
thing in the line of fire.

HUMBUG OF RECIPROCITY.
Growing Business with Canada Ex-
poses Rottenness of
the Plea.

Most insistent of all the demands
made during the past year for reci-
prOeity, and most conspicuous because
it has come from a strong republi-
can state, has been the cry from Mas
sachusetts. Ill informed persons would
have been justified in believing that our
trade in general and the commerce of
New England in particular were being
blighted by the Dingley tariff schedule,
sometimes yclept the Chinese wall. Now
comes a report from the department Of
commerce and labor which makes such
a splendid exhibit OF our growing busi-
ness with Canada that it knocks the bot
tom out of the tub that has been carry
ing the pathetic appeals for reciprocity
to Washington, says the Waterbury
Comm Republican.
The report shows that our imports
from Canada grew from $33 ,264 ,403 in
1865 to $51 406, ,265 in 1904, and that
our exports to Canada grew from S2S,-
S29402 in 1865 to S131 ,274 ,346 in 1904.
The most rapid growth, however has
occurred during the period from 1894 to
1904, our total exports to Canada in
1894 having been 500, ,664 ,094, as against
S131,274,346 in 1904, an increase of $74,-
100000 in the decade Thus during the
last decade our total exports to Canada
have increased 131 per cent.
Furthermore, the percentage of Cana
dian imports supplied by the United
States has increased from 46.4 in 1890
to 60 in 1904, while the percentage of
British imports has declined in the same
period from 38.5 to 24.6, all of which
goes to show that, whether or not our
present tariff needs amending in certain
schedules-that is another question
the reciprocity cry usually proceeds
from selfish interests and is not based
on a general demand or need, and the
louder the holler the more selfish the
motive. This report puts a new plume
in the cap of Senator Lodge, who has
stubbornly fought the Massachusetts
crowd that was yelling for lower duties
and declaring in the same breath that
our Canadian trade was being killed off.

ALLIANCE WITH POPULISM.
Something That the Republican Party
Is Not Likely to Be
Guilty Of.

Some eastern and western papers,
republican and democratic, are inti-
mating that certain populistic doctrines
may engraft themselves onto republican
policy by the time the canvass of 1908
opens. They apparently think that the
democratic party has become SO weak
and despicable that no minor party or
new political sect of any sort will care
to enter into alliances with it, or make
any overtures for its support
But there is not the slightest reason,
says the st. Louis GlobeDemocrat, to
fear that the republicans will make any
surrender to populism. There are some
radicals in the republican party, but
they are compelled to accept republican
doctrine and to work for the party in
the orthodox way A great deal was
heard about the Iowa idea on the tariff
a few years ago. Where is the Iowa
idea now? Not a whisper was heard
about it in the canvass of 1904. 1t will
not come up in congress in the present
session. Nobody is talking about it
anywhere. The Iowa idea is forgotten
even in Iowa.
The republican party stands for sane,
conservative, progressive Americanism.
The republican who cannot accept this
doctrine gets out of the republican party.
1t is hinted that Gov. La Toilette, Gov.
Cummins and few other western re-
publicans will put some queer planks
into the republican platform in 1908
Let nobody believe a word of this. Those
personages have considerable follow
ing in their states. On certain issues they
are at variance with the majority of
their party. But in the republican
party the majority rules. The major
ity frames platforms, puts up tickets
and carries elections. The republican
party has a record for conservatism
and balance 1t will maintain this rec
ord to the end The republican who
makes any radical departure from the
sound traditions of orthodox party doc
trine will be compelled to get outside
the party line. The republicans are
ready to deal with new issues of any
sort as they arise. They will deal with
them in the same sort of spirit as that
in which they settled the slavery issue,
placed the greenbacks on the specie line,
and established the gold standard
Whatever the conditions may be in 1908,
the republican party will be ready to
meet them in sane, courageous and
rObustly American Way.

HANDS OFF THE TARIFF.
Workingmen of the Country Are in
Favor of the Protective
Policy.

Workingmen are no less interested
than employers in the reports Of the
conferences President Roosevelt is
having at Washington with republi-
can leaders from various sections ON
the subject of the tariff In Massa-
chusetts and Wisconsin there are some
republican tariff revisionists who are
aching for a tariff tinkerinS seance in
the coming session of congress, and
they have been laboring to bring the
president around to their way of
thinking. The workingmen
of the country are not low tariff men,
says the National Labor Tribune. They
are prOtectiOnsts, end we can assure
the politicians that President Roose-
velts majority, in spite of his tremen-
dous popularity, would have been a
great deal less if 1t had not been for
the plank in the democratic platform
denouncing protection as robbery. 1t
is all right TO interpret the election as
an approval of antitrust policy, but
TO attempt to read a demand for tariff
revision into it is utterly unwar-
ranted. The mills are generally start
ing up again. 1t is to be hoped that
our industries are not to be thrown
into confusion by tariff revision
right at the moment when signs of
recovery are appearing. The presi-
dent will make no mistake in turning
q deaf ear to the taliff tinkers.

Bryan's Prophecy.

Mr. Bryan says that the private
ownership of railroads will cease as
soon as the mOnopolistic plans of the
railroad mOnopOlists are realized" He
assails his old foe, the writ of injunc-
ton. He talks about the capitalstic
side of the money question:" and he op-
poses national banks of issue and waves
the old flag Of "bimetallism, ;" that is. in
effect silver monometallism. He raises
the vain cry against a large army and
navy; exhibits Imperialism as "a moral
question" and declares with uncon-
sciOus righteousness that "the Philip
pine question presents an opportunity
for the democratic party to address it
self to the religious instincts of the
American people and to the moral per-
ceptions of the country" The addresses
of the democratic party in regard to the
Philippines have been rejected twice by
the country, but Mr.. Bryan will not give
up. No, "the time is ripe for an appeal
to the moral sense of the nation" and
Mr. Bryan's article shows him no ripper
and decidedly duller than he was in 1896
