The Rnnaavalt ElunL-

The reasonable conclusion to be drawn
from the debate in the United States
Senate, on Saturday afternoon, when
Senator Tillman declared that President
Roosevelt had charged Senators Knox,
Spooner and Foraker with "trying to
defeat the Rates bill by ingenious con-
stitutional arguments" and Senator
Lodge, speaking for the President, inter-
posed a vigorous denial, is that we have
merely another instance of the Roosevelt
funk.
The situation, as it appeared TO the
public, was this: President Roosevelt,
finding his policy with respect to the
Rates bill opposed by leading Republican
Senators, called on the Democratic Sena-
tors to assist him. He selected Ex-
Senator Chandler as his agent in this
work, and Chandler indorses Tillman's s
statements. He was in close conference
with the Democratic members of the
Senate, personally and by proxy, and
there was an understanding that they
should help him. Then the President,
fearing the fight that a pursuance of his
programme would bring about, surren-
dered to Aldrich, Allison and other Re
publican leaders Of the Senate, and had
the effrontery to declare that what they
insisted upon was in accordance with
what he had stood for from the first and
that he had not surrendered to the ex-
tent of one iot or title.
The President may pretend to believe
that he has beaten the rebellious Repub-
lican Senators to a standstnl, but there
is no doubt that the opinion of most
people is that he has simply funked.
And after reading Tillman's statement,
and Ex-senator Chandler's letter, some
will incline to the opinion that he has
been guilty Of something even worse.

What Protection Has Done.

In the course Of a public speech in adj
vocacy of Englands fiscal policy, RI
Hon II. II. Asquith, late Chancellor OF
the EXchequer in the British cabinet, re-
ierred to the influence Of the protective
tariff policy upon this country. Here he
said, the country "has every boon that
Providence can bestow upon a nation
an enormous territory, 100000 square
miles, against 10000 in Great Britain;
a vast population of SOOOO00O against
our 40.00OOO0; every variety of climate
and material resource; most ingenious,
adventurous and energetic population
Every word of this is true. And should
not these advantages be sufficient to
secure for us industrial and commercial
pre-eminenco, without resorting to any
forced and unnatural measures of pro-
motion through special laws
That they have not done so is evident
and how they have not done so was
effectively pointed out by this English
orator. Look at what protection has
done for the American shipping industry, "
he said. america has vast coast line,
and on the cast, a seaiaring population,
men with spirit Of adventure, descended
from the Pilgrim Fathers. and not afriad
10 60 down to the sea in ships. Forty
years ago, before the Americans adopted
protection, they did the main part of their
carrying trade in their own ships Who
does il today Britain does il. While
American shipping has diminished by
something like two-thirds. British ship
ping has doubled in value, and more than
doubled in efficiency and carrying power.
The explanation is simple. Free trade
has given us cheap food and raw material
and extended employment, and we can
build a ship far more easily than the
Americans. A great shipping company
wanted four liners. They resolved to
buy two at Philadelphia and two at Bel
fast The two built in the Free Trade
country cost 100000 pounds apiece. and
the two built in America cost $4,000
pounds apiece -one-third more for build
ing a ship Of the same size and the same
carrying capacity under the protective
system of the United States"
This is what protection has done for
this country. Also, it has enabled our
manufacturers TO impose high prices upon
our people for their products, while they
sell them in foreign markets at greatly
reduced rates, The foreigners reap the
benefit Of our protective system, while
our own people are grievously taxed by
it. Is it not time for a change

Tne WORK of Allaa.a Pets

It Is now notorious that President
Roosevelt's fond hopes of securing Re-
publican harmony and filling the seno-
torial vacancy by bestowing the Federal
patronage in Delaware upon Senator
Alice have been blasted The patronage
has been distributed not among those
who could have helped to restore harmony
and bring about the election Of a Senator,
but among those who are responsible for
the deep disruption that has attended the
refusal Of the Legislature to fiji the va
cancy.
How this was done is well told by the
Sussex Republican Of Georgetown. David
5. Clark, Allee's choice for collector of
the port, it says, kept at least one mem
ber Of the last Legislature from leaving
Addicks and voting for a compromise
candidate for Senator.
$. John Abbott, another Of Allee's ap-
pointees, according to the Sussex Repub-
lican, controlled the vote Of his brother,
who was a Representative in the last
General Assembly, and kept him steadfast
in the Addicks ranks.
Next in the Sussex Republicans list
is Dr.C. r. Layton who it charges, has done
oil in his power to prevent the election
of Senator, and has "aided and abetted
Alice in his efforts to prevent that
election"
Alice, says this. Republican newspaper,
"does not want a Senator" and it throws
out a suggestion that a hint from the
administration to Allee's appointees would
induce them to desert Alice and turn in
for the filling of the Senatorial vacancy
Not a bit of it. These men are safe in
their official places, and they know it.
They cannot be scared by the bluff Of
threatened removal from office They
were Addicks Republicans when they
were appointed, and they are Addicks
Republicans today
The truth of the situation is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was simply buncoed by
Senator Alice He stepped into a trap
and is held there, hard and fast Instead
of promoting Republican harmony and
securing a Senator, he has been wheedled
into making Republican conditions in
Delaware worse than they ever were.

seml-oentennlnl Of a Pnrtv.


Tic Republican party's semi-conten-
nial anniversary was celebrated two years
ago or so, the occasion being in honor OF
the first gathering held under that party
designation. But the semi-centennial of
the partys first National Convention for
the nomination of candidates for Prcsi-
dent and Nice-Prcsidcnt OF the United
States viii be held in Philadelphia next
month
1t was in Philadelphia in June, 1856,
in old Musical Fund Hall, that the Repub-
lican party named John c. Fremont for
President and William /. Dayton for
Nice-President, its first national ticket
The nomination of Fremont was dictated
mainly by reason of his military record
and the fame of his far western explora-
tions. He was called the Pathfinder, "
after pioneer trip made by him across the
Rocky Mountains
The candidacy of Fremont and Dayton
cut quite a figure in the Presidential cam
paign Of that year Il marked the be-
ginning of the final struggle for the aboli-
tion of slavery The candidacy Of James
Buchanan was the last compromise he
tween the Northern and Southern wings
of the Democratic party Buchanan
was elected, as the candidates Of the
Democratic party always were, in those
days, when the party went into a ma
tional contest united. The Democratic
vote was l,s3s 1863, with ia electoral
votes; the vote for Fremont was l,34l r
264. with ia electoral votes; there was
also a Native American ticket in the
iield-Millard Fillmore for President and
Andrew jackson Donelson for Vice-Presi-
dent which polled s74 ,53s votes, and
carried Maryland.
This campaign was the real beginning
Of the Republican party It was sue
cessiul at its second national contest, in
1860, when Abraham Lincoln was its
candidate for President and the Demo
cratic party was divided into two fac
tions. And it has been successful al
every Presidential contest since. except
ing in 1876, when it won by manipula-
tion and not by votes, 1884 and 1892.
So far as its record Of national victories
is concerned, the Republican party has
well earned the right to jubilate over its
semi-centennial.

and oil business in It's efforts to control
the oppressive operations Of the Trusts
In this he out-Bryans Bryan and trends
upon tho domain of that prince Of peanut
politicians David Bennett Hill
And finally, President Roosevelt has
been converted TO opposition to the Trusts.
He has even gone to the extent of recon-
mending moderate tariff modification as
an admirable method Of bringing the
Trusts down from their policy of high
prices to home consumers and low prices
TO foreign consumers of their products
Now with President Roosevelt as the
candidate for President in 1905 which
is not at all improbable-or some other
Republican standing on Roosevelt
platform, how could the Republican
party consistently oppose William J.
Bryan as the candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket
1t would be handicapped on the issue
of government regulation Of railroads.
1t would be handicapped on the issue
Of assaults upon the courts.
1t would be handicapped in its adj
vocaoy Of the protective tariff
Il would be handicapped in any opposi-
tion to government control Of coal and
oil lands and Of public utilities
IL would not be able to reap any advan-
tage from the issue of free silver coinage,
because that issue is as dead as anything
can be.
And this is the condition TO which the
Republican party of the country has
been brought by the administration Of
Theodore Roosevelt.
