TARIFF TO
Be PASSED

Washington Dec. IA tariff bill 20 re-
lleve the conditions in the Philippines will
be passed at this session of congress in
my opinion. Much OF the unwarranted
apprehension which has existed concern
ing the effect that the importation OF Phil
ippine sugar into the United tSates would
have on sugar growers in this country
has been dispelled. The visit OF the TAFT
party TO the islands last summer has done
much to change sentiment on this subject
as IL was shown that the production OF
suger in tho islands is limited as COM
pared with the amountof sugar consumed
in this country. IL was also demonstrated
that the possibilities for a great Increase
in sugar production in the Philippine
group are also limited
Representative Cooper OF Wisconsin,
chairman OF the house committee on In
stt+sE- affairs at the last session of con-
gress. expressed this opinion concerning
the outcome OF legislation for the relief
OF the commercial conditions In the Phil
ippines.
Mr. Cooper accompanied Secretary Taft
to the Orient and he Ia smade a study
OF the tariff needs OF the islands tie saws
the United States tobacco growers need
have no fear OF the Philippine tobacco
raisers because OF the quality OF toha eco
grown in the islands and tho limited pro-
duction.
In Mr.. Cooper's opinion hemp In TO be
the product to which the Philippines VIII
turn attention rather than tobacco and
sugar.
a bill providing for the setting aside OF
money realized from the sale OF Philip
pine lands for the use or schools has
already been introduced by Mr.. Cooper
in the house and he IL confident u will
not meet with opposition. Little money
u now realized in tho Philippines from
the sale OF land. and the members OF tho
insular committee do not expect the
schools will receive much money from
this source for several years In case the
bill becomes n law.
But the construction OF the 1000 miles
of railway for which proposals are 10 be
opened I'm n short time will open up the
interior country and develop lands which
are useless under present conditions.

One Of the most prominent members OF
the congregation OF St johns church
said today:
THE trouble with Mr.. Richmond is that
he is too outspoken. I do not want my
name mentioned IN this affair, but you
can saw that he will preach no more

did he settle it? BY arbitration. Now
the democratic platforms Of 1896 and
1900 demanded arbratjon while the
republican platforms were silent on
the subject. But he not only waited
until there was great suffering and
loss before proposing arbitration, but
he did nothing afterward to secure
permanent arbitration board for tho
prevention Of strikes. II he won popu-
larity by small application of demo
cratic policy, would he not have won
more popularity if he had urged the
establishment Of permanent arbitrn-
ton board?
He again won popularity by recon-
mending railroad regulation. The
democratic platform demanded that,
but the republican platform was silent
on the subject. The severest criticism
has come from the shielding Of Nor.
ton-that was not democratic. He is
strong when he is democratic and
weak when he departs from democratic
ideas. He is now being commended for
enforcing the criminal law against the
Beef trust. The democratic platform
demands it; the republican platform is
silent on the subject. Would he not
be more popular if he enforced the
criminal law against all the trusts?
That would be democratic.
II a president can achieve popularity
by being systematically and sporadical-
ly democratic, what would be the
popularity of a president consistently
and persistently democratic?
Governor La Toilette has made him.
self invincbe in Wisconsin by advo-
eating Things which are democratic.
The primary system is not only demo-
cratic in principle, but it was adopted
by the democratic party in the south
before it began to spread in the north.
Governor La Follatte is democratic on
the railroad question also.
Governor Cummings has strengthen
ed himself by showing democratic
symptoms, but he lacks La Follette's
moral courage. When republicans
can build up following by adopting
democratic ideas let no democrat falter
in the fight
We need more men in all the parties
who will dare to espOuse democratic
principles There is not a northern
state but needs strong and aggressive
advocates of democratic principles and
policies. They are and must be the
basis of all political strength.
