A WORKOUT CONTENTION


In spite of the attempt Dy Judge
Taft TO make his speech of accept
ance conciliatory and at least appar-
emily fair, he falls into the old plan
of claiming prosperity as the neces-
sary effect Of the success of his party,
and business disaster as the sure at
tendant of democratic success.
This pretense has done duty ex-
tensively in recent years, and for a
/ time it was supported by a series of
| fortunate accidents. To be sure the
contention of republican success is al
ways followed by good times had
nothing TO support it. The republi-
cans won in 1872 by a great majority.
and yet the panic of the next year
was tremendous, and the dull times
lasted for half a dozen years. with nu-
merous bankruptcies and ali sorts of
financial wrecks. But this was a gen
GRAFTON ago. and is remembered i'm
pCAhCSOlS ny CdS mass vi Iht pOpuid-
ton.
Fifteen years ago the panic came
hard after a democratic triumph. Just
as that Of 1873 came after a republi-
can victory. Moreover the panic of
1893 came before there had been any
legislation by the democrats, and
could not fairly be attributed to any
such cause. But the fact that it came
during a democratic administration
was accepted by a great many as
proof that it was caused by the demo
Gratis. BY the time a new president
was inaugurated the dull times had
run their course, and prosperity
speedily returned. That the panic
and the recovery happened to follow
close upon a democratic and republi-
can victory was a mere coincidence.
In the 70's the same thing occurred
without any change of parties, though
the country declared against the re-
publicans in 1874 and 1876. But the
coincidence of these events was for
tunate for the republicans, and they
got the benefit Of it.
All this, however, was changed last
year. The republicans were in pow
er in all departments of the govern
ment and yet a panic came on. They
insist that they were not to blame for
it, but certainly they were as much
to blame as were the democrats in
1898. They had already announced
the rule that republican success
meant prosperity; republican defeat
adversely, so they were stopped from
saying the panic had no partisan bear
ing. They had insisted to the contra
ry for many years, and were so COM
mitted to a principle which the bust
ness reverses showed to be untena-
BILE.
In spite Of this demonstration Of
the falsity of the republican conten-
ton, the party's candidate for the
presidency comes forward and insists
that democratic success means disas-
ter, while republican success means
prosperity. This contention Is out
worn. Not only are the facts OF long
ago opposed to 1t, but recent events,
contemporary history, show it to be
nfOunded.-Louisville Courier-Jour-

Improylrg the Consular seryiee.

Secretary Root is making progress in
his project for recognizing the consular
service, the Senate having passed a bill
to amend the reorganization act that will
effect considerable Improvement in the
service without adding to its cost. This
bill abolishes twenty-eight consulates at
points where they are no longer needed
and establishes seventeen new consulStes
at stations where American interests
justify consular representation. Changes
in grade and increases in salary bring
the cost OF the new cOnsulates up TO
trife less than the expense Of those
abolished.
OF the consulates abolished few. If any,
will be missed One Of them is at James
town, Helena, where no other country
maintains an Office. and where the consul
has absolutely nothing 10 do, the fees
received being but SIC a year, while II
costs S2.475 to keep up the consulate.
Some Of the consulates were established
for no known reason. Ike that az Jalapa.
Mexico. where the government pays
consul 5000 a year to collect fees amount
ing TO only sos. The Jalapa consulate
was created without recommendation
from the State Department" probably
for the purpose of providing a pleasant
berth for some politician. OF Ike use
lessness are the Cousulates at BeIeviIIe
and Port Hope. Ontario: Gaspe. Quebec:
Utiia. Honduras; Funchal, Madeira. and
Antigua. West Indies. where the re-
ceipts from fees are SGD. S5O7. SIP. $50
S425. and Sl72, respectively, while the con-
sular salaries were 5000 or more a year
for doing almost nothing. A number of
similar sinecFes we're found in Europe.
particularly in Germany, the abolition of
which enables the establishment of con-
sulates IN more advantageous localities
and the payment Of better salaries.
Among the new consulates may be
noted Punta Arenas. the recent stop
ping place OF the feet and the port OF
entry for Southern Chile and Patagonia:
Melbourne, an Australian manufacturing
city which annually imports nearly 5000
900 worth Of goods from the United States
and sends to US nearly $5.OOO.O 900 in return;
Limoges. the seat OF an important porce-
lain industry in which more than half
the capital invested is American; Aleppo.
Syria: Antung. China; Corinto. Nicaragua:
Karachi and Madras, India; Rangoon
Burma; Saloniki, Turkey, and Frontera
and San Luis Potosi. Mexico. These
widely separated geographical points
forcibly bring 10 mind the rapid expan-
sion OF American trade interests, which
It is one OF the main duties OK our
consuls to look after.
That the consular service is a good
investment is shown by the statement
that It's actual cost 90 the government
for the past tWenty-four years has
averaged bat sS7.s72 annually. In other
words. it is very nearly self-sustaining.

WEDNESDAY. MARCH A. 1905.


One year from to-day a President OF
this American republic will be inaugu-
rated The twelve months intervening
are bound to be fraught with momentous.
far-reaching events. A campaign I'M
paralleled in interest and Importance is
about TO be fought out.
The Washington Herald months ago ex-
pressed the opinion that one road. and
one read only-the Rooseveltian road
would lead White House way in the year
Of our Lord 1908. Time has strengthened
that opinion.
The country has passed through a
monetary crisis. The aspect Of things
political has appeared to be changing
now and then. But the situation really
has remained unchanged. There is still
but one road leading White House way.
Theodore Roosevelt's administration
when il comes TO be freely and fairly
summed uD ir history. viii be found to
have had its shortcomings In abundance.
Errors OF commission and omission will
honestly be charged up against IT, things
set down TO IT'S distinct and lasting dis
credit But these shortcomings, these
blemishes upon a memorable record. will
only serve TO emphasize how human, how
Intensely human, the administration was.
Whether approved or condemned in detail.
II will stand out. as a whole. in history as
II stands out to-day. as marking a new
era in governmental affairs-an epoch
making period. in which the American
conscience was awakened. in which peo-
pie were set 10 thinking. and in which the
popular heart became more nearly attuned
to the administration at Washington than
ever before, save when the country was
in peril from war. This is no mere toady-
ing statement. no fulsome tribute Of
praise 20 the man or policies that made
the epoch. 1t is a simple statement Of
truth-truth that history will vindcate.
At intervals an apparent hating on the
part Of the followers Of the administra-
ton has been Observed-a temporary
marking OF time. perhaps: but there has
been no turning backward There will be
none. Not yet The times are still radical
The country stands for honesty and the
square deal.
And so, before March Fourth next
rolls around, this Rooseveltian road lead
ing White House way Will be travelled
mid the plaudits of a mighty nation.
In whose hands will the standard be?
That is for the future to tell Whether
Tafts. or Hughes. or Bryan's-who can
say? One thing only a year in advance
is clear as day. In spite Of passion and
outcry. in spite OF all the administration
faults. the standard in the hands Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt would assuredly be car
ried to triumphant victory.
Whoever the successful candidate be.
however. Republican or Democrat, he will
travel the Rooseveltian road.

a Sew TarIff Revision sehemc-

A perfectly lovely scheme of tariff re-
vision is conhded to US by the New York
Tribune-''tarin revision conducted by the
Republican party. revision in consonance
with the policy of protection and accom-
plished without any blast of trumpets or
beating Of drums" It VIII be all ar
ranged before Congress adjourns. Both
the Senate Finance Committee and the
House Ways and Means Committee will
obtain authority to sit during the recess
and enter upon the preliminary work Of
revision But there will be no public hear
ings 70 upset business. and almost before
they know il the Industries Of the country
will have recovered from, the shock of
revision and will be convalescing. All
done so quietly and quickly that no one
will realize that he has been hurt.
Well. II 1t is Dalzell revision. we IN
derstand why no particular damage will
be done by It. Such a revision as be
promised the other day in the House
would not only not hurt anybody or any
thing. but II would attract a horde OF
hungry interests anxious TO share in the
revision upward that Mr.. Dalzell declared
would be made if it were needed to pro-
tect American industry. Perhaps this is
one of the reasons why Republican lead
ers are anxious TO start the revision ma
chinery in the midst OF a political cam
paigu What a glorious opportunity a
gumshoe inquiry into tariff schedules will
afford for bargains and deals and cam
paign contributions, How neatly the fat
could be fried out Of people looking for
higher protective duties! We are not sur
prised that our Republican friends should
have concluded that It would be a profta-
bic stroke OF business 20 begin tariff re-
vision-a strictly protective revision-on
the eve Of the Presidential election. Such
an announcement as that made bv Mr.
Dalzell on the floor Of the House is vir-
tual notice 10 all the protected interests
that If they expect to enjoy tariff fayors
in ths future they must stand by the
Republican party in the good old WAY.
And the unfolding Of the scheme for Kos
sions OF the tariff committees Of both
Houses during the campaign is notice 10
the same interests that the tariff scbed-
uies are on the auction block and will go
to the highest bidder.
II the Republican leaders IN Congress
want to give an earnest Of their In
tentions respecting the tariff II they
want to show that they are ready 70 at
tempt revision OF the tariff that means
something. why do they not pass bin
repeating the duty on wood pulp and the
duty on art objects. as recommended by
the President? Why do they not enact
the legislation asked for by Mr.. Roose-
Welt to carry out the German agreement
Why do they not give the Filipinos fair
show in American markets. as Secretary
Taft has pleaded for the last FIVE years.
