tn n,o0res.ive republican senators

THE progressive republican senators
are much put out at the present status
Of the tariff bill and feel that the stu
ation which confronts them aud the
republican party could have been great
" modified for the better bad the presi'
dent bestirred himself to cid their fight
for lower duties while the measure was
in the committee of the whole. But
they assert they never received the
slightest encouragement from the presi-
dent from start 20 the finish OF the
hvht. He showed not the least In
tetest in their struggle to wiring con-
oessious from Mr.. Aldrich and bis fol'
lowers. He called none of the progress
sives into consultation and when they
took the initiative and sought consul
tation with him he preserved an stti-
tude Of strict neutrality. This, some
of the progressiveS assert, was in the
most glsriug contrast with uttsrsnceS
of the president 10 representatives, OF
their wing of the party who went TO
s,e him at Hot Springs, during the
campaign OF last year. To these repre-
seuta,ives of the progressive republicans,
it is asserted the presidential candidate
talked in the most radical manner on
the revision of the tariff aud other great
questions of party policy. he CON-
mitted himself to the Roosevelt policies
in he fullest and most vigorous manner,
Ieaving the impression on the minds oil
the representatives of the progresSlves
who saw him that he was a man ate
their own heart aud that under bis
administration the programme OF the
western radicals who sought genuine
tariff revision aud vigorous and COM
nl.te control of corporations would be
pu,hed forward with even greater energy
and effectiveness than under the Roose'
veil administration. In view of these
facts, the progressive republicans of the
Senate feel they have been betrayed BY
the president on the first great question
On which be has been called to act.

THE tariff bill a. it came from the
hands of the Senate is regarded by tariff
reformers of both parties rs the worst
ever written. They declare it is not
merely the expression of protectionism
run mad, taking its schedules and its
administrative features together, but is a
shameless embodiment of protective de-
bsuchery aud libertiDism. Sincere tar
if revisionists in both houses of Con-
Kress regard The attitude of Mr.. Aldrich
in forcing through the measure with Its
endless iDiquilies as the most fragrant
defiance of public sentiment, sound eco
nOmic principles aud simple justice per-
petrsted by any Legislative body in al
most hundred years. Mr.. Aldrich
and bis blind followers defeated every at.
tempt to write in the schedules even 8
modicum OF the revision downward
which the republican party and its pres
identisl candidate lsst year promised the
people. Each OF the trusts obtained fol
itself what it wanted in the way of pro
lection for articles it produced and
cheerlully conceded to sll of the other
trusts the same valuable privilege of tax

fit. Brought into being and uursed tC

Mr.. W. w. FINLEY, president OF
sAe Southern Railway Company, is en-
dosvoiug to expand the trade OF the
United States with South American
ports, and in letter to the Gazette calls
attention to existing conditions in which
he shows that European countries are
getting the cream of traffic which oy
right belongs to the mother republic on
this side of the globe. Apart from
Shree or four steamers which ply be-
tween New York and South America,
the bulk Of the freight and passenger
transportation he says is carried on in
foreign bottoms. Mr.. Finley shows
why such conditions exist, and calls at
tention to the fact that the people OF the
United States have not manifested the
same enterprise as their European rivals,
but have been relying upon tramp
steamers for accommodations when reg
ular lines should be operating between
this country and all important Latin
American ports. Mr.. Finley is especial
ly anxious to see such lines established
at the southern and gulf ports of this
country, believing that great good to the
south would result. The writer makes
it plain that with such means of trans
portstion communication would be
quicker than that afforded by steamers
from the other side of the world, aud
the increasing demands from South
American countries for goods and pro-
duce of the United States would in a
few years briug about satisfactory re-
suits. At presen: much of the produce
of this country which is sold in South
America reaches its destination via
some European port. Several years ago
Mr. John Barrett, head Of the Buresu Of
South American Republics, delivered q
lecture here on the possibilities of South
America 10 which he showed the i'm
portaucs of the United States manifest
ing more enterprise 10 its commercial
relations with that portion OF the western
hemisphere.

Those who have witnessed the hor-
rors of the traffic in decrepit horses
that has for so long been carried on
between this country and Belgium
must rejoice that at length steps are
to be taken to check if not to stop it.
Lord Darlington, on behalf of the
Board of Agriculture, has promised to
appoint special veterinary to super
wise the embarkations and enforce the
existing rules; and the municipality
of Antwerp, whittier most of the ami
mails are taken, has decided to press
the Belgian Government to provide
railway trucks for conveyance to their
destination instead of driving them
in their wretched condition through
the streets, or to provide shambles
near the quay where they could be
slaughtered
But why not stop the disgusting
traffic altogether? 1t is no secret
that these wornoJit, manned and often
diseased animals are sold by dealers
in this country to foreign buyers, who
convey them across the North Sea to
places in Belgium where they are
killed and converted into meat for
consumption chiefly by people of the
peasant class, but sometimes into un.
recognizable food for others.--Lon.
