We are therefore face to face with
a condition which the political liar

Certainly the plainest man can see
what ls now being done He can see
that the nation is being saddled with
an Interest bearing debt of $50 millions
which the people must pay. when ii
the nation had its money where it be-
longs, to-wit. in the Treasury, or bet
ter yet, were this 275 millions in the
pockets of the people where 1t really
belongs, there would doubtless be no
panic, certainly there would be no
cause for piling up an enormous new
National debt at this time, when the
Nation does not owe a cent it cannot
many times more than pay. What
could be more humiiating than SOL
vent Nation issuing bonds? What
could tell tale of incompetency and

Is Ii Retaliation?

We have heard it intimated more
than once that the railroads would be-
gin a system of petty retaliation
against the public for forcing upon
them the two-cent rate. We thought
the officials to whom such things are
entrusted would have more business

looks of the service that has been in

that the object of the G. & o. is to re

THE TARIFF AND THE FILiPIk0S,

In the House of Bishops of the Pro
testant Episcopal church recently in
session In Richmond, Bishop Charles
H. Brent of the Philippines, told of the
sad plight of those people, of their
poverty and distress. He said in part
1.-The Filipipos are at least 100 years
behind the Cubans and will never be
able to govern themselves if the Gov
eminent continues its present policy.
He appealed I'm the name of humanity
for common justice and fair treatment
for these poor, oppressed people. "
The Bishop charged that great cOrpo
rate interests in this country, in Or
der to secure gain for themselves, are
making the Fllipinos pay the most
extrsvagant prices for everything, and
the people, lii conseq aence, are In the
depths of poverty and despair. "
Bishop Brent declares that it Is the
duty of the Christian people OF the
United States to petition Congress to
give the Filipinos common justice.
1t can hardly be argued that Bishop
Brent is a political talker and there
fore not to be credited. II cannot be
said that he does not know, and there
fore his statements are worthless. 1t
cannot be argued that he is pessimist
looking always at the gloomy side.
Certainly he must be credited far be-
yond those who travel there on sight
seeing tours, and. learn ALL ABOUT
the Philippines in a day or at a ban
quet table, and through the express
slons OF local political or business
magnates, whose hands are clntching
the wealth wrung from these suffering
people. Political campaign funds have
far outweighed the appeals for the
people. But this warning and these
truths ought to bring about change.

nobody, why should be havs to issue
Certificates OF Indebtedness !? The
reason is plain. The country is in a

war measure. Congress thought we
might owe somebody as wars are
expensive. But the experiment was
not resorted to then, SO it lay unno-
