SATUROAY, JUNE IJ, 1903. Orsar once dreamed of an empire • couslstliiK of the entire world, with Home his Koine, n» he then regarded it—uh the eapltal. But Brutus and Cassius lived at that time, and Ca-sar's dream ended In his assassination. The present czar of Bussla Is the worthy If somewhat ami'iulc young man who suggested the conference the result of which was The llague peace' tribunal. The czar would •SUtlty of stepping on a worm, we'nje. . told, and yet he Is willing to stand ns - sponsor for one of the most elaborate and most iniquitous schemes of aggrandizement the world has ever known. Beside the Russian scheme Ca-sar's dream pales Into Insignificance. for while it does not contemplate the grabbing of the entire known surface of the earth the (number ofpersons Involved In It greatly exceeds the number who would have been brought under the yoke of Borne had Ca-sar’s light, not been opportunely snuffed out by his erstwhile friends, who wanted to do the land gntbblug themselves. For- many years Bussla has been trying so to sha|>e things In Europe that she might have the right to go In or out of the Black sep via the Dardanelles ns she might see fit. She has sent vessels through, but it has always keen wjth the ••permission’ 1 of the sultan. Compulsion would long since have taken the ®ace of "requests*' were It not for that Intangible "balance of power” which Is but another way of saying "International Jealousy.” This fetich ‘ has kept Bussla and everybody else out of Turkey,, but Bussla is still hopeful, and close. ol>servers agt^e that It Is but a question of time when Bussla will either get what she wants there or. at any rate, try to get It by force of arms. Afghanistan Is another country upon which Bussla long since cast envious glances. It would be useful as a means of checking fiuglaml's growth in the East Indies. If Bussla could arrive at an "understanding" with the ameer of Afghanistan she would hav< a powerful weapon to wield whenever England might object to ,her designs in Asia. Besides, it would Abu?afford her the opportunity to reach tide water on the southern coast of Asia, something for which she has long wished. Russia's selfish conduct In Manchnria Is too well known to require repetition here. Going Into Manchuria for the ostensible purpose of restoring order and protecting the interests of for-_ eigners. she has stuck like a leech and Is still promising us regularly as ever that she will soon get out But she doesn't get out and. Indeed, apparently , has no Intention of doing so unless the other powers shall eventually force her

to do 'so.

There are those who declare that If ■be did not fear the vengeance of oil ■Europe, with the single exception of - -tFrnnce. Bussla would speedily find an excuse to make war upon the kingdom of Norway and Sweden and then upon > poor UtUe Denmark, despite the fact that the czar’s mother Is a daughter of the aged monarch of that little country. This wo^ld provide a safe passage of the Skagfa- Back and the Cattegat Into the Balfec sea. But there Is no likelihood that Rnssla will obtain so strong a strategic position without actual war with Europe combined, and that she la not hankering after. But after all, when one reflects bow Russia stepped In after Japan had whipped China and, depriving the brave- little island empire of the fruits of her victory, “actually turned It to her own advantage It will be seen that In Russia’s Machiavellian scheme of politics she has her future goal, no matter how distant ever before her and steadily moves toward It.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID TO THE j

-low, IDEA" PEOPLE | ™ THE METHOD OF j ATTACKING PROTECTION.

Davt« R. Hill Vkmuf the Tarlf Torn Ip Forthwith. While CAward M. Shepard «ona.eU a Mar* Prudent and Coaeervatlve Coarse of Action. Democratic lenders are agreed upon a single proposition. They must have an "Issue" for the campaign of IDOL They hove been groping for that issue since tlie second popular rejection of Brynnlsm In 1000. At to what the new Issue shall be. Democratic leaders are divided. But they simultaneously recognize that their only hope of victory lies In the discovery of some doctrine upon whose advotney they con unite. To this end there was much speechifying the other night, nominally In honor of the memory of Thomas Jefferson. but really In an effort to vivify the moribund Democracy. Amid all the ,'i-wilderness of words there stands most conspicuous the proclamation of David B. Hill. He was addressing a partisan gathering of Democratic editors, was si>eaklng to the party organization In the state, whose electoral vote Is essential to Democratic success, speech Is naturally interpreted as sn announcement of his own candidacy. Here Is the Hill Issue In his own

words:

"Immediate tariff revision versus an indefinite continuance of tariff exac-

tions."

The Republican party will be quite ready to accept that Issue without admitting the truth of the qjiarge that the present protective customs duties are "exactions." A Republican majority in congo* 8 enacted the Dingley law; a Republican president signed that act Under the McKinley administration the country emerged "from the slough of despond into the flVm and upward path of prosperity. For all that the Republican party is responsible. It accepts

Hla Aallrrvlalon •oalUarata at Mlamrapolta la Marked (oatraat With the Tart If TlukeVla* Hntloclnntloaa of the “ITo«reaalTe" Flock. The Des Moines Capital aptly dls covers a coincidence in the fact that 1‘roaldent Roosevelt made his strong orthodox tariff speech of April 4 in Minneapolis Just one year following the Minneapolis speech of Gbvcmor Cummins. In that speech the govern-

or said:

"Competition we must have—that of the republic If possible, that of the

world If necessary.”

’ la another and later address the gov-

ernor said;

"Whenever the creators of combination are able to stifle competition and eliminate It ns an element of the trade in our own country then we propose to Invite competition from abroad.'.’. Exactly In line with tills proposltlfrti Senator Vest of Missouri, an uneompromlsing free trader, said on Dec. 25,

U*K:

“It seems very emper that monopolies in commercialysrfplcs are possible In the United Stales only because competition U not opVn to the world, and the protective tariff Is convicted of respon-

sibility"

It tlius appears that Cummins and Vest are of one mind In bolding that the protective tariff Is responsible for the stifling of competition and that the opcgilng of our market to the competition of the world is the only remedy. Taking Issue alike with Cummin* and with. Vest. I’resldent Roosevelt said at Minneapolis: “One point we must steadily keep In

The quet

•peaking broadly, stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the trusts. No chiuige Id tariff duties can have any «ulis;jintlal .effect In solving the so called trust problem. Certain great trusts dr great corporations are wholly unaffected by the tariff. Practically all the others that are of any Importance have, as a matter of fact numbers of smaller American competItoni, and of course n change In the tariff which would work injury to the largo corporation would work not merely Injury, but destruction, to Its (mailer competitors, and. equally, of course, such a change would mean disaster to all the wage workers counect*ed with either the large or the small corporations. From the standpoint of those interested in the solution of the trust problem such a change would therefore tuerelj* mean that the trust was relieved of the competition of hs weaker American competitors and thrown only Into competition with foreign competitors and that the first effort to meet this now competition would be made cutting down wages and would therefore be primarily at the cost of labor. In the case of some of our greatest trusts such a change !

Mr. Hill thinks that this a basis of successful political appeal. Republican leadership will promptly take him at his word and go to the electorate upon that Issue. Borne time ago another distinguished Now York Democrat Edward M. Shepard. uttered quite a different opinion upon the policy of a general revision of the tariff. Mr. Shepard, after frankly recognizing "the widespread popular belief, faulty ai great masses of laboring men In the protective tariff,” offered this advice: “Instead of dealing with the whole problem of free trade and protection, instead of introducing doubt Into almost every business, the Democratic party may well deal with the few schedules in which through the practical monopoly vast fortunes have been made by taxation upon the masses of the people.” - These Democratic doctrinaires disagree. Mr. Hill is for an immediate reof its dls-

! turbine effect upon business; Mr. Shep-

foots all other Interests. It makes all these interestsr large and small, profitable. and Its benefits can be taken from the large only under penalty of taking them from the small also.” The application of these sound statements could not have been more direct and intentional if the president had prefaced his remarks by saying: “Stand up. Governor Cummins, and listen. I am talking to yon and your like, whether In Iowa, In Minnesota. In Massachusetts or wherever they may be.” It was the right sort of talk In the right place and at the right time. The country has relished and welcomed It for what It was and was meant to be.—

American Economist.

The Mischief of UncertaintyIf the people had an Idea that a genera! change or even an uncertain partial change was to be made In the tariff. every manufacturer would reduce his output for fear he might be caught with goods whose cost would be greater thou imported competitive material. Every merchant would reduce bis orders in hopes of buying foreign goods cheaper In time to meet tEe demands of hla trade. The greater the uncertainty about what schedules might be changed the more widespread this action would be, and the general reduction of output and orders would produce hard times.—Jersey City Journal.

a few protected manufacturers whose enterprise and energy have proved

profitable.

In contrast to this the Republican position Is that the framers of the present tariff may bo trusted to change schedules when the need or justice of change shall be demonstrated, bolding fast to the theory of protection which it tice has produced our marvelous trial prosperity. The Intelligent voter, be he wage earner or capitalist, will not hesitate In his choice between those policies.—New York Mai) and Express.

Her Point of View.

A lady residing In a quiet village in Suffolk used to take an Interest in a very aged couple wbo were spinning out the last thread of life In Darby mid Joan fashion, seated 6b either aids of the fireplace. She often paid tbam a visit to cheer them up. The old man had been ailing, and at lost a day came when the visitor found only one chair occupied. Darby was not In his usual

-place.

’’Where la your husband?” "Well, mum. be be gone at last” “Oh. I'm very sorry. That la very sad for you.” said the lady, seeking to find some words of consolation. “Yes. mum. It be sad,” replied t old woman, “but then, you see. be wi fearfully In the way of the oven.' London Tit-Blta. Tariff Qnentlon In n Sentence. Said Secretary Boot at the Home Market club dinner: “I am not going to argue the question of protection and free trade. The ond administration of Cleveland la not so completely forgotten yet that that question needs to be argued in this country now.” ' There is the whole tariff qoentio a sentence, and there will be no need of argument as long as the second administration of Cleveland U remem-

bered.

Dr. Louis Albert Banks" new book. ‘‘On tbe Trail of Moses.” Is announced as a compilation of -’Thirty-one fresh and vigorous revival sermons, supplying a wealth of inspirational thought and a rich fund of suggestive and illustrative material for preachers and Christian workers." From the title one might have inferred that it was. a detective story. Thu* far it has cost Great Britain the enormous sum of $l,05t>.f>3S.OOO to conquer the Boers. nn4 tbe British tax payer now fully appreciates what Oom Paul meant when he &ld tictory for Groat Britain wofild be won at a price that would *tagger humanity.
