The Maximum and Minimum Tariff

The course of the discussion at the
reciprocity convention in Chicago is not
surprising Advocates Of reciprocity, in
the form in which 1t has hitherto been
presented, have abundant reason to be
discouraged and even hopeless Of the
outcome Of efforts to secure the adop-
ton as a national policy Of their favor
ite theory. Under the circumstances it
is natural that they should turn to an
alternative which will afford protection
against the German menace which is
undoubtedly the immediate cause Of the
Chicago gathering. The nucleus of the
meeting is formed by those whose prod
ucts are threatened by the system to be
made effective in Germany next March.
The proposal that the United States
shall adopt maximum and minimum
rate, sometimes known as the dual
tariff, should neither be hastily adopted
nor lightly dismissed. That system is
already in operation in several Of the
leading countries Of Europe, including
France, Russia and Spain, and it will
come into force in Germany early next
year. 1t might almost be called the Con-
tinental system. Brazil has adopted it
and Canada has it under consideration.
England has considered its adoption
in modified form.
Reciprocity Of the kind now in opera
ton between this country and Cuba is
OF a mild and benevolent type, which
enables us to offer bonus for the trade
OF another country. 1t is essentially
Yankee swap. We offer to give so
and so in exchange for this and that,
and contract Is made by which each
obtains special advantage over COM
petitors in the markets OF the other
Reciprocity under the maximum and
minimum tariff system may be con-
Quoted with equal amiability, but it puts
club hchind the door where it is avail
able for pounding anybody who does
not let us into his house as freely as he
admits any one else.
The double system opens the way to
retaliation. Thus its adoption In Ger
many will undoubtedly curtail our sales
to her in the line Of foodstuffs and pro-
visions and in some lines OF manufac-
tured goods. Under our rrc1eI sys-
tenn we can but pro;t " and submit.
The double system would permit us to
threaten Gernany's chemicals, her silk.

A Correction In Justice to Another
Mr.. Graham.

In an editorial reference yesterday to
the surreptitious conveyance to the
Neu York World Of the testimony taken
by State Superintendent of Insurance
HENDRICKS in the Equitable case, and
entrusted to Attorney-General MAYER
that he might have official cognizance
thereof, we identified the Mr.. GRAHAM
in Mr.. MAYER's establishment with q
Mr.. GRAHAM formerly employed by the
Associated Press.
This is q mistake which we hasten to
rectify in justice to the latter Mr..
GRAHAM. His name is GEORGE EDWARD,
and although he happens to hail from
Albany we are satisfied that there is
no reason to connect him with the trans
action or to impute to him either will
ingness or ability to serve ODELLs
subterranean purposes in the matter
of the publication.
The other Mr.. GRAHAM Is JAMES G.
GRAHAM, First Deputy Attorney General
under Attorney General JULIUS M.
MAYER This GRAHAM is a resident of
Newburgh, where he has practised law.
He was member Of the Assembly from
Orange County in 1899 and 1900, and
during both terms he served on the
Committee on Insurance. Afterward he
became private secretary to Governor
OpELL, and held that relation to him,
we believe, for the four years.
1t is not at the instance Of Mr.. GRAHAM
formerly of the Associated Press. but
OF its own motion, that The Sun corrects
the error that confused the two persons.

A Capable Investigator at Last.

The Hon. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
is about to set forth on his tour around
the world. The oppressed and down.
trodden inhabitants of the Philippines
will have an early opportunity to submit
to his examination. To investigate the
conditions under which the Filipinos live
is zone Of the prime objects" OF Mr..
BRYAN's excursion. He wishes to see
for himself what is "the trend in the
islands. He speaks:
~ may unearth something that viii be inter
esting.' he added, and smiled significantly"
Col. BRYAN unquestionably will "un-
earth something that will be interesting.
1t is his mission and delight to "unearth'
interesting things. He disclosed the
Great Geld Plot Of 1885, He brought
to light the impending victory Of free
silver in the same year. He uncovered
to the people Of America the inevitable
and unavoidable ruin that would result
from the election Of MCKINLEY and
HOBART. He pointed out to them the
political deluge that was to overwhelm
MCKINLEY and ROOSEVELT in 1900.
These are but samples of Col BRYAN'S
achievements in the "unearthing' in
dustry since he grasped the nomina-
ton for President in the Chicago
convention nine years ago.
The Hon. w. BoURKE COCHRAN will
do well to quit the Philippines before
Col. BRYAN arrives. The Nebraska SOL
dier-statesman may "unearth' the New
York lightning change orator if he
catches him in our Asiatio possessions.

Why the Japanese Demand an In
demnity.

There seems to be some misconception
concerning the grounds on which Japan
insists upon being reimbursed for her
outlay in the present war. When those
grounds are clearly understood it will be
recognized that the demand deserves the
moral support of neutral onlookers.
It is assumed by many debaters Of
the question. and notably by Mr.. DE
MARTENS, tue well known Russian
authority on international law, that the
essence Of an indemnity is ransom. The
advocates OF this view allege that no
country ever has been or ever ought to
be called upon to pay money as con-
dition Of peace except by way Of con-
sideration for the recovery of territory
wreeted from 1t by an opponent. 1t is
true that the precedents for an indem-
nifty that are brought forward from the
history of the last hundred years appear
at first sight to favor such definition
Of the term. When by the peace Of
Tilsit NAPOLEON exacted from Prussia
$500, oOo,o 900, French troops were In pos
session OF Berlin and had overrun the
greater part Of Prussian territory. So
in 1915, when the Allied Powers imposed
ON France an indemnity Of $500 900 900
subsequently reduoeD, their soldiers
were occupying Paris and large section
OF the French soil. A similar state Of
things existed in 1871, when Germany,
having captured Paris and conquered
most Of France south Of the Loire, de-
manded and obtained billion dollars,
in addition to Alsace-Lorraine. In 1878
tho Sultan ABDUL HAND consented, by
the treaty Of San Stefano, to pay huge
indemnity (afterward cut down at Ber-
