One Nan Power.

The conditions OF the case have in
deed evolved a peculiar sort of one
man-power in public affairs. and have
drawn into political life a familiar
type OF the masterful man. Such is
the party boss, who enjoys power, and
a certain measure Of distinction. The
mechanism Of government. says
writer in Atlantic. is so unwieldly that
those who are within cannot control
it; hence there has developed the boss,
who manages the apparatus from with
out. This cannot be done without skill,
shrewdness, enterprise and other such
qualities needed for any career of lead
ership. But 1t calls also for methods
distasteful to Straightforward and
high-minded men. Your boss is indeed
not always so black as he is painted;
there are political machinists entitled
to our respect But the role is after
all an. underhand one. circumventing
Of the avowed plan and intent of the
general will. Il attracts the unscru-
puIous. and even the well-intentioned
man who essays it finds himself almost
inevitably impelled to fight the devil
with fire. Not infrequently a man
who has achieved success as a leader
of industry turns to political activity.
He then usually becomes the manipu-
Iator and master Of the party machine.
following almost Of necessity the IA
miliar methods of intrigue. bargain,
ofice-mongering. bribery. The able
man Of the higher type is not drawn
10 such doings. while on the other hand
the competition in the unsavory work
has a demeralizing effect on these who
strive for political power.

Ethics Of Spending.


The popular notion that the waste
,ul extravaganza of the rich is a good
hing for the community because It
puts money into circulation, and that
the spendthrift thus becomes a public
oenefactor is combated by Rev. Wash
lngton GLADDEN.. who says. in a paper
On THE Ethics OF Luxurious Expendi-
ture," that spending money is setting
people at work, and that the spender
always chooses what kind of work the
people who receive his money shall be
employed about. II that work is useful
the community is benfited, but II In
furious, the more money he puts in
circulation the greater the damage to
the community He who spends money
Secomes a consumer Of commodities
and OF services. and the reckless
spendthrift is. to a great extent, a con-
sumner Of services. II the services for
which his money calls are those IN the
rendering OF which men and women
are ennobled be is a public benefactor,
but II they are those by which men
and women are corrupted and de-
graded he is malefactor. The money
that goes into circulation through the
debauching of men and women had
better be kept out of circulation.
It is not the most common thing for a
man to go suddenly down from mil
lionairism 10 beggary without infict-
ing some serious moral injury on other
people in the process. IL he has spent
a million dollars on reckless and SEN
sual indulgences. he has done vast
amount of harm to the boon compan-
ions he has gathered about him, and to
the multitude he has employed with
his money. TO minister to his appe-
tites and follies. One million of dol
lars put where it will do the most
harm. can do a vast amount Of mis-
chief In any community"

STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
What Has Become of the Iowa idea
and Its Twin, Free Trade with
Canadap

Where has its twin brother. free trade
with Canada, gone to? Where is our
old friend, the tariff is the mother of
trusts?a Only a short time ago these
footlight favorites occupied the first
row in the chorus. The Iowa farmer
was told that il the Dingley tariff was
not revised and revamped and reduced
there would be no demand for his prod
ucts abroad and the octopus would get
him. He was assured, says the Des
Moines Capital. that unless We allowed
the Canadian farmer to lug his stun
across the border into Iowa without
paying his duty the Canadians would
get so mad that they wouldn't buy
any more Iowa farm produce. A year
and a half ago these we're Gov. Cum
Minis pet theories, and how true they
were is shown by the fact that our
sales 70 foreign countries, including
Canada, are constantly increasing and
that our exports Of agricultural prod
ucts during the present fiscal year have
been greater than during any similar
period in our history. But what has
become of these yagaries upon which
the governor staked a state campaign
aud his reputation as a statesman?
Nothing is heard Of them any more.
They are not in the mouths of the Dem
ccratic press even, dear as they were
20 their hearts a couple OF years ago.
What has become of them?
II candor Is wanted, the answer is
that, having lost fieeting and purely
Fictitious popularity, the issues pressed
with such vigor only few months ago
by the governor and his suppliant fol-
lowing have been thrown into the dis
card. For the purposes Of this cam
pain they would not do at all. The
first great essential in the Office hunters
equipment is an alarm gong. Two years
ago 1t was the tariff and the trusts
which were impoyerishing the people.
especially those Of Iowa. Now Il Is the
railroads which are grinding us all.
especially the plain people, under the
iron heel Of oppression.
The creation of new issues to fan
prejudice and arouse animosity Is not
altogether an enviable task. The sin

does not desert a cause in which he has
enlisted simply because It receives "a
setback. II he is really sincere he stays
with it. The reformer who is simply an
alarmist for what there Is in it for him
self and his crowd is not an inspiring
figure. After awhile the people get tired
of being alarmed. They weary of the
shouting and the clamor. They refuse
to see the sword Of Damocles or feel
the iron hand Of oppression about their
necks. In other words, they are onto
the curves of the terrorists. They sec
through their little game, just as they
did through the free-trade- with Canada
scheme two years ago, and refuse 10
wear the binders.
He that pitieth another remember
eth himself, says the Spanish proverb.
This all-consuming anxiety for the sal
walton Of the state is too transparent a
proposition even for common people
whom il is hoped to play for suckers.
This is going TO be a poor year for thar
kind of fishing.

when The New York Times dis
cusses the tarin f. becomes positively
brilliant. II remarked few days ago,

Il asserts. clearly appears from the
indisputable fact that the present reg
ulations are unreasonable" That Is to
say, remarks the San Francisco Chron-
icle, they are unreasonable because
New York merchants who have a per
sonal and pecuniary interest In having
them changed say they are. But the
rest OF the country. which believes In
fair play. does not sympathlze with
the attitude OF the New York import
ers who would cheerfully avail them
selves OF the disposition shown by Ger
man exporters TO defraud the revenue
by systematic differentiation. The ad-
ministfstiye act provides the ma
chinery TO prevent roguery Of this
kind. and the American people insist
on keeping II In motion. What the
New York importers really desire IL
an unobstructed opportunity TO de-
fraud the revenue, but they won't
get II.

THERE is A DIFFERENCE.
American Labor Fares Much Better
Than Where Free Trade
Prevails.

Free traders in this country, defy
ing the business depression which ex-
listed when we had a Democratic tariff
with its free raw material provision
from 1898 to 1897, rehearse the old,
old story that the tariff is a tax on
the consumer.
They forget, says the Trenton Ga
zette, that the tariff tax is paid In
no small degree by foreign sales to
this country below the foreign price,
Just as the steel trust sells cheaper in
England than in America. They for
get that domestic competition is so
keen that except when trust conspira-
cies arise. as they arise in free trade
countries as well as in protectionist
countries, the American consumer gets
cheap wealth. For example, when we
were forced to buy all our tin plate
abroad we were at the mercy OF a
foreign trust in a free trade country.
We put a duty on foreign tin plate
and within a remarkably short time
American tin plate works were COM
peting with one another and giving us

had previously been maintained.
Now when trust conspiracies enter
the field and artiicially boost the
price Of any article, whether in Eng
land OF in America, we OF the United
States can remedy conspiracy not by
degrading the standard Of American
wages as We did under the last Demo
cratic tariff, but by taking the Roose-
welt clew Of enforcing the law against
trust conspiracy.
To give force to this argument let
It be noted that American labor was
never so prosperous as to-day, that
the only danger to our Industries lies
in conspiracies such as those OF life
insurance, wholly detached from the
tariff issue. and other trusts where the
franchise is perverted. To-day there
is crisis In free trade England,
where the beautiful free raw material
and free cook material prevails.
