II mines. and that the national govern
'ment is undertaking Il work which be-
longs to the state.
But it is hard TO believe-in view of
the five departments which have grown
from bureaus and the limitation of the
new bureaus activities to investigation
solely-that the upper house will sacri-
fee this defense for American citizens
who are otherwise only too near II GER
tainty OF losing their lives.
The fight in the house was i'll the
hands of the committee OIL mines and
mining. The bill reported was a COM
mittee bill, digested from many bills
submitted to the same effect. Behind
the committee was practically the solid
delegation from the south and west.
But the battling was done chiefly by
Mr.. Bartlett, Mr.. Englebright, Mr..
Douglas. Mr.. Underwood, Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Nichols.
The first named is IL new member
from Nevada, Il democrat, who came to
Washington with his purpose fixed OH
the enactment of Just such legislation.
Like most of his colleagues. he had
been impressed with the loss of 1900 of
his fellow-creatures in 1906. and prob
ably 5000 in 1907, of 6, s, 10, and some
times II men in Il thousand among the
armies thar work underground in
America, while l or less than l is no
unusual average III Europe. But Mr..
Bartlett put his convictions to work.
One by one, he made converts among
other members, republicans as we'll rs
democrats. When the committee began
to consider the bill he proved his tact rs
we'll us his earnestness by acting with
it Is a willing subordinate rather than
fighting Independent of it.
The result was that not even the
republican chairman of the committee
on appropriations could stay the tide for
the bill when once the house got a
chance to vote upon it. The victory
by II vote of 21S to 29-is the victory Of
every man who gave the force of his
personal influence for II study of the
causes which have cost so many Ameri-
can lives. But it is not too much to say
that the chief credit of the fight belongs
to this young westerner who came here
to get action, and did get it in his first
term.

JOHN FISKE ON The TARIFF.

The Philadelphia Record quotes
from the late John Fiske, who knew
and wrote so much about America and
the American people in so many phases
of their development, social, religious,
economic and historical, the following
prophetic utterances on the tariff,
albeit like most prophets he was far
in advance and without honor in his
own country of the time.
BY and by. when our shameful tar
if-falscly called protcction-shall
have been done away with, and our
manufactures shall produce superior
articles ut less cost of raw material,
We shall begin to compete with Euro
pean countries III all the markets of
the world, and tho competition in
manufactures will become as keen as
it is now beginning to he in agricul-
ture. This time will not be long in
coming, for our tariff system has nj.
ready begun to bc discussed, and in
the light of our present knowledge
discussion means its doom. Born Of
Grass ignorance and self-dcfcating
greed, it cannot bear the light. When
this curse to American labor shall
have been once removed, the economic
pressure exerted upon Europe by the
United States will soon become very
great indeed"
