NOT AFRAID OF IGNORANCE.

Tho recent defeat OF the Dillingham;
Burnett bill for restricting immigra-
ton by tho lkeracy test terminated
an episode probably without parallel
in our political history. A Republican
Senate. by an overwhelming vote.
passed the measure over 4 Republican
Presidents veto. while. a Democratic
House. by narrow margin, placed
itself on record as supporting q Re-
publican President.
Tho lower branch OF Congress,
weakened under the active campaign
against n restriction OF inning ration,
portation companies. with the assist
aucc of the alien press and various
organizations OF the foreign born in
the United States. The voters In many
districts wero aroused By an appeal
to racial pre1udices. or by unwar-
ranted Interpretations of the proposed
law. and, as q consequence. many Con-
gressmen were inundated with telc-
grams urging them to cast their votes
against the bill. Under such pressure
the average legislator Is apt to lose
sight OF the danger of illiteracy ana
ignorance TO a self governing republic,
and 10 cast his vote In accordance
number of his constituents. This con-
dition OF affairs, unfortunately, was
the cause OF the failure OF the Dllling-
nam Burnett bill.
1t is apparent however. that our
present unrestricted immigration poll
cy cannot continue much longer. A
constantly Increasing part OF the
electorate are evidently awakening
to the real significance of the recent
alien influx. 1t is becoming moro gem
orally recognized that limitation
upon the number OF incoming for
eigners is a necessary preliminary to
the solution OF our Industrial prob
lens. The recent disturbances at
Lawrence, Mass, Il city with a for
ciGn-born population OF is per cent,
affords an insight into what may be
expected If some restrictive legisla.-
ton is not enacted by Congress. The
rapid spread of radical and revolution
AIRY doctrines among our unskilled inn
migrant wage carners. such as those
so extensively promulgated by the
notorious Industrial Workers OF tho
World, arc also an indication Of the
dangers OF tho existing situation.
These significant tendencies arc
being more generally observed and
viii undoubtedly find expression in the
near future il some pronounced modi-
iication OF our present liberal immi-
grafton police. The Democratic con.
Gressonal leaders would have shown
greater political wisdom If they had
realized this condition OF affairs. and.
by supporting the Dillingham; Burnett
Dill saved the party from the politi-
cal dangers which tho future will un .
doubleday bring forth in the form OF
more radical proposal for rcstric-
ton.

NOT DEMOCR ATTIC.

. According to persistent reports. the
Democratic Ways and Means Commit
tee is considering n substitute for tho
inaNimum and minimum rates OF duty
provisions OF the Dngley law. The
adoption Of this retaliatory principle in
tariff legislation by the approaching.
special session would be a strange de-
parture from the traditional Dcmo.
cratic Idea relative to tariff revision
The party has always held dirmly TO
the View that the protective policy is
unconstitutional Without execution u,
has been asserted in successive Demo
cratic platforms that customs duties
should be levied for revenue purnoses
only, and In rev!sions proposed by the
party, as In the case of the Wilson bill
OF 1894, protection has only been re
tanned in a modified form because Il
was thought that a too sudden and
radical reduction OF the duties prevail
ing would result disastrously to bus,.
ness and commercial interests
1t is Cor the same reason that tho
forthcoming revision is proceeding unon
/ this assumption. Ultimately, however
the Democratic party contemplates n
F., tarih for revenue purposes alone. The
/ proposal that the customs duties he
used as a big stick for forcing trade
/ concessions from other countries. or
Tor retallatins against nations which
, VIII not grant privileges In their
markets to American exporters and
manufacturers. has no place In tire
/ aVowed doctrine or program of the
1 democratic party. There IL also an
insidious danger lurking IN any such
method OF fixing tariff rates. They may
be ostcnsibly raised for the purpose OF
bargaining with other countries and
then be permitted to remain at their
hIEh level, thus. permanently provid-
ms Tor customs duties much higher
than those which had been intended
to prevail. Similar shams wcro per.
patrated undor the so-called reel.
proclty provisions OF the Mckinley and
Dingloy laws.
II duties arc Increased upon certain
articles apparently for the purpose o,
obtaining concessions IN foreign
markets, 1t can be safely predicted a,
the result OF past experience that these
duucs viii never be lowered If The
protected interests can prevent IL.
