ALL FOR sELF.INTEREsT,

Senator Aldrich should not lose his
temper in the tariff discussions. His
declaration in discussing the cotton
schedules that nobody but import
ers were protesting against the Senate
bills rates as too high, was hardly
worthy Of his standing and repute. For,
he undoubtedly meant TO imply that
as the importers are anxious 10 import
as much as possible, they speak in op-
posing the high schedules in their own
special interests.
But. really, isn't it rather late in
the day TO throw this brick? This
tariff discussion has developed the ex-
traordinarv situation, that the votes Of
Senators are Influenced generally by
the interests Of the localities which
they represent. In this scramble 10
protect locality and special interests,
the dividing line between the parties
on protection and free trade has been
broken down from both sides, with
out regard 10 party. Democratic Sena-
tors from the South appear as the
stifTest Of protectiouists. Republican
Senators from Northern States arc
the ones who are making the most
earnest opposition to high protective
duties
The old party lines do not hold any
more on this question, and we see n
yindication Of Gen. Hancock, when
ne said when candidate for Presi:
dent on The Democratic ticket in 1880,
that so far as be had observed ftho
tariff was local question Tho re
mark was received with much derision
at the time; but time has vipdicated
him; the tariff in this year Of 1909 is
demonstrated emphaticallv TO be q local
question.
But since Senators. sitting in the
high places Of the Nation, speak and
vote on this question through local
and personal interest. why should it be
thought SO contemplate for importers
to protest in the interest of their busi-
ness? Since such an illustrious example
is set them, why should they be silent ?
Or, does Senator Aldrich mean to be
understood as claiming that the right
to act on this question on behalf of
local interests, is the exclusive preroga-
tive of SenatorsY Evidently that must
be his idea; or ho is entirely incon-
sistent in his contemptuous reference
to the importers. But that sort Of thing
won't do. Senators have no such ex-
elusive right; but if the idea of Mr..
Aldrich is that TO speak from personal
motives and interests is wrong, tho
importers can justly retort that it is the
Senators themselves that have set
them that bad example. And they
wouldn't need to pass Mr.. Aldrich by

Of owning them. "Tn the four years
between 1899 and 1905, the land owned
by peasants increased in some districts
as much as Ais per cent, and taking
the immigrant districts in Austro-Hun-
gary and Russian Poland together. the
increase in four years reached tho al
most incredible figure of 173 per cent -
Further detailing the progress IN this
direction, Mr.. Steiner says: "In three
districts Of Russian Poland the peasants
bought in those four years 1884 acres
of farm land. This, Of course, means
not only that money was brought back
from America, but that the peasant at
home has become more industrious. If
not always more temperate and fru-

1t is the same, in even more striking
form, in Hungary, where Gin the little
village of Kochanovcze, out Of which
but few had emigrated to America, and
to which only Il few families had re-
turned, has, under this new economic
impulse, bought the land on which the
villagers forefathers were scrfs. and
on which they had worked during the
harvest for twenty cents Il day. The
villagers bought the whole baroniaI es.
tate, including the castle, giving mort
gage for the largest part Of the sum;
but they are now the owners of one of
the finest estates in Hungary, and the
mortgage drives them to work as they
have never worked before. This same
impulse struck Nyitra, in which the
land had almost gone out of the hands
of the peasants; lost by the same causes,
