New York, June 15.-(Spscial)-In mid
May Chauneey M. Depew spent a week in
Washington. He had an opportunity for
II number Of social meetings with some
who were his colleagues in the Senate and
who have oatstayed him in the Senate
chamber. He also paid a call of courtesy
at the White House, spending Is or 20
minutes with the President. After the
senator's return to New York he told mis-
friends what some of his experiences in
Washington were, and in what they had
enlightened him upon the attitude of the
administration and Congress toward
American business life. The senator did
not then see fit, however, to speak for
publication. Some of the incidents of his
Washington visit were of such exclusively
social character that, although much i'm
portant information was obtained, yet
he could not, in good taste, speak except
inS in a very general way of them.
The senator, however, did, when sailing
for Europe last week, concentrate into
two or three paragraphs and in an i'm
personal manner much that he had
learned and heard at Washington. He
was confirmed in the opinion he had long
held-an opinion, too, which Theodore
Roosevelt did not hesitate to express
that Congress could not be persuaded to
adopt any currency plan to which the
name of Senator Aldrich was attached
senator Depew, however, was told by
several Of the leading democratic senators

houses in Congress in the majority party
discussed the principles and questions
which relate to American business life.
But the senator said, Furthermore, that
it was apparent to everybody who had
been trained as a business man. either
as a banker, manufacturer, or an operat-
ing force in the railraod systems that
many of the leaders in Congress have
not the slightest comprehension of any of
the details and of any but a few of the
general principles which are necessary if
business is to be successful. That is pre-
cisely what the senator meant when he
said for publication: "Our government is
being run by theorists. A day or two be-
fore the senator sailed he said that, in
view of the absolute sincerity which char
acterizeS the leaders of the majority
party in Congress and of the considerable
public sentiment which supports them, it
is unquestionably well that there be en-
acted practical demonstration of the eff
feet of this quality and economic need
upon American business life. In no other
way can it be definitely learned whether
the theorists or the practical business men
are now right and have been right. each
from their respective point of view.
A Significant Comment
A great deal of comment has been oel
casioned by statement made by Cor
nelius Vanderbilt just before he sailed
for Europe last week. Mr.. Vanderbilt
confessed that the decision of the supreme
court in the so-called Minnesota rate case
was for him a puzzling one, since he had
been unable to get, by the hurried read
ing that was possible for him, clear un-
derstanding of what the decision meant
Then, gliding off from this point, Mr.
Vanderbilt said that he was satisfied tha.
unless the interstate commerce commits
sion granted the application of the rail-
roads for a per cent increase in rates the
railroads would be compelled in the fall
to refuse to accept the transportation oil
some of the harvest, certainly in case the
crops this year are as great as they now
give promise to be.
No railroad manager has cared to speak
with the frankness which Mr.. Vanderbilt
used since there was fear that state
ment of that kind might be regarded as
an implied threat. But it has been known
that in railroad circles the apprehension
is grave that unless an Increase of rates
is permitted by the interstate commerce
| commission there may come in the fall
serious congestion of freight at the great
terminals in case the harvest makes a

of great canal connecting the Atlantic

Two Points of View

AS interesting and as earnest an even
MS conversation was taken part in
Ny the senator when he was In Wash
hstoh was one at which several demo-
cratic senators were present. Senator De-
pew was greatly impressed by the earn
estness with which these senator's defend
ed the underlying principle which is en-
bodied in the Underwood tariff bill. They
confessed to him their regret that Amer
ican sugar growers, cane and beet, have
not been able SO thoroughly to develop
their industry as not to be compelled to
rely upon what these senator's called
. governmental subsidy in the form of a
protective tariff rate in order to secure
any returns from the industry. But the
senators We're convinced that in the long
run 1t would be the better part to utilize
the soil for other products whose sue
cessful culture does not depend upon a
protective tariff
That. the senators informed Depew, is
the view taken by President Wilson He
returned from Washington satisfied that
the country is to put to the test the prin-
ciple which underlies the doctrine of a
tariff for revenue only, but not the
severest test possible, since it is recog-
rized and frankly stated that there would
be injustice in adopting a tariff bin
framed entirely upon the tariff for reve-
nue. only principle. A tariff of that kind
must be built up gradually, but If the
test which is to be made with the Under
wood bill is satisfactory then the time
Is not distant when there will be other re-
visions of the tariff until at last the
tariff for revenue only law will stand
upon the statute books.

Theory and Business Experience

ITcOTy anu I7uSIfCSo IzNP0TItI
Shortly before Senator Depew sailed for
Europe he said in detail something wilrh
he put in the concrete form while chat
ting with the newspaper men upon the
deck of the steamship. To the reporters
the senator said: "Our government is be-
ing run by theorists. Practical business
men are looking on alarmed. Protection
principles are. actually essential if we are
to maintain our wage scale.
Free trade might make things cheaper
but without protection we wouldn't have
money enough to buy them"
This is but a tabloid expression con-
centratng much that Senator Depew
heard and learned in Washington. In pri-
vate conversation with his friends after
his return from Washington. the SEN
ator said that he did not fail to regard
with admiration and with respect the sin
cerity with which the leaders in both

on our part.
The Globe in long editorial article
says!
''Great Britain has no desire or in

body over tho question of Mexico. She
recognizes that conditions in Mexico
particularly concern the United States,
and so long as her own commercial in
