England would no doubt be happy
today to exchange Industrial statuses
with the United States, free trade and
all, for it has bought experience at
dear price. The very admission which
these three democratic senators make
johnson of Alabama, Clarke of
Arkansas and Smith of South Carolina
that England is the most prosper
Gus nation next to our own" stultifies
their own argument and controverts
their position If free trade is neces-
sary for the industrial prosperity of a
nation, how comes It that a young
country like the United States with a
protective tariff is the most prosper
Gus country in the world?

Crank Epidemio in New YORK.

The freedom with which menacing
letters are being sent to public men in
New York, following on the heels Of
the attempted killing of Mayor Gay
nor, suggests the possibility of such a
thing as an epidemic of assassinations.
= hree judges, a state senator, the sec
rotary of state and governor have re-
Gently been warned of their lives by
cranks with grievances. The people
need not give full credence to all these
threats to appreciate the wisdom of
demanding proper safeguards for their
public officials. Sometimes we are too
slow to become alarmed as such things.
Perhaps II Gallagher had notified
Mayor Gaynor by mail that he in
tended to shoot him, our brave skep-
ticism would have ridiculed the
thought.
New York officials could do no bet
ter than make roundup of all sus-
picious characters of this sort and
take every reasonable precaution to
thwart their plans. 1t should not be
necessary to wait for one of these
anarchists to carry out his threat be-
fore we wake up to the fact that he
may. After each such deplorable ex-
perience the public conscience is
stirred to a virtuous indignation, but
1t seems to relapse with as much facil-
ity as 1t became aroused and we have
not today the definite, fixed policy
with reference to the safety of our
public men that we should have. We
thought after the death of President
Mckinley that such a thing could
never be repeated in this country;
congress was fairly flooded with bills
against assassination and yet no salts
factory way has been found to safe
guard executives against exposure to
risk of assault.

Profit in Texas Politics.


The case of o. b. Colquitt, the demo-
crat Just nominated for governor of
Texas, Is evidence enough that while
the Lone Star state may be old fash
toned in some things, it is no back
number when 1t comes to office seek
ing the man. Colonel Colquitt shows
by his itemized statement of campaign
expenses that he paid SHIFTS to OBJ
tain the nomination. AS the office of
governor of Texas pays $4,000 a year
and the term is two years, on the face
of returns Governor Colquitt-a nomi-
nation is equivalent to election there
must face a deficit at the end of his
term of at least $3,778.
Those impertinent enough to harbor
such a thought naturally will ask why
man will give away nearly $4,000
over his cost of living to get the office.
The answer must be that Colonel Col
quit intends to remain in politics long
enough to reap returns on the outlay
and use the governorship as a step
ping stone, In that event, of course,
he may be justified on the simple
basis of finance. Or perhaps he in
tends to be elected governor second
time. On that, however, even in Texas
today, no man may rely with perfect
assurance, for the sands OF time are
shifting there as elsewhere and Mr..
Colquitt, who will go in as the victor
over the temperance forces, will be OPP
posed by a prohibition legislature, or
legislature that at least intends to
submit to vote of the people a pro-
posed prohibition amendment to the
state constitution and this will not be
conducive to his political permanency.
1t is of interest to note that while
Governor Colquitt paid $11,77S for his
nomination, Senator Culberson paid
only SGT to secure denomination in
Texas. But one would scarcely take
these figures as indicating the relative
rating of the two offices. One shows
the possibilities of victory in sharp
contest, the other illustrates the saw
Ing of no contest.

ENGLAND and Free Trads.

1t is not surprising that the three
democratic members OF the senate COM
mittee on the high cost of living
should charge in their report upon the
tariff part responsibility, but It is sur
prising that these men resort to such
flimsy argument They begin with the
contention that a protective tariff is
not essential to high wages and point
to England for proof that the tendency
of wages under free trade is upward
and has been upward. They also de-
clare that the condition OF the wage
Garner in England today is better than
in any other country except the United
States and that while laborers and
tradesmen immigrate to England from
other European nations. English work
men never emigrate to them.
England went on free trade basis
some sixty years ago because, DESTROYS
OF becoming a manufacturing country,
1t conceived the need OF cheap raw
material, cheap living and cheap wages
to make it a great industrial beehive
But today England has the largest
army of unemployed men and women

ton to be extremely grave. England

wages there are not only not as high
as they should be, but IL Is absolutely
unable to find employment for the
workers which such an economic sys-

sources are being tried to the utmost
and 1t is right now appealing to the

traced back largely to free trade poll
cies. England has no contiguous ter
