What McKinley Wanted. “I am for the largest use of silver in the currency of the country. I would not dishonor it; I would give it equal credit and honor with the gold; I would make no discrimination; I would utilize both metals as money and discredit neither; I want the double standard. ’’—Congressman Wm. McKinley in 1890. The advance agent of Prosperity is • not doing business at Porto Rico just now.

Porto Rioo wants to know where she is at. The profits of the Kimberly mining company in 1809 were about $10,000,* 000, a nice sum. but nothing to the Carnegie iron “infant industry.” Se^f government could hardly come easy* to the Filipinos. It would undoubtedly be some time before they could hit upon a plan for governing Sulu outside the constitution. After all the declarations that the Filipinos are not capable of self government, the President is seriously considering the advisibility of giving them the constitution written by Aguinaldci's prime minister. What has become of the bill introduced by Senator,Cullum months ago to amend the inter-state commerce law? The railways, the commission and the people are all crying for it, but nothing is heard from the pigeon hole where it rests. The President has recommended and the House has passed a bill returning some $2,000,000 of duties to Porto Rico. So it is said:. But to whom are these duties returned? To the people who paid them or to fat government officials? According to Otis’ reports to the war department the “backbone” of the Filipino insurrection has been broken again. We suggest that the general devote some attention to the “neck of the revolution” just to vary the monotony of his reports. Is it possible that the Senate will restore the 25 per cent and cut out the two years limitation before it passes the Porto Rican tariff bill, in the hope that the republican conferrees will join w'ith it in forcing the bill upon the House? Such action would be nothing more nor less than bunco.

Congress and the executive departments are wrestling with the question: What is to be done with the superannuated clerks? We have the solution: Abolish the system that fosters and creates them and give each clerk a certain term of office, and a clerk will never become superannuated in; public ojtice. It is by no means certain that •Britain’s difficultiegjvill not increase with her trramphs. Germany, France and Russia couldvstand aside as long as the Boers/were) winning, but when their conquest ^nd absorption beculnes "Imminent, they must enter tneir protests. Almost invariably, for centuries, ev^ry large war has° been ended with the concert of Europe depriving the victor of his spoils. Congressman Hfmenway was renominated by the republicans at Rockport last Thursday. There was no opposition. Col. Thompson of this city, and Walter Schmidt of Evansville, were selected as delegates to the national convention. The Porto Rico tariff bill was not endorsed by resolution, the convention being very quiet on that affair. The St. Louis platform was endorsed, “international agreement” and all. The attendance at the meeting was decidedly small and the interest very tame. The opposition to the Nicaraguan canal on the part of the railway lines and ship subsidy companies is not dead but only sleeping. When Mr. Hepburn sought unanimous consent to haying the House bill considered, Mark Hanna’s townsman and particular friend, objected, declaring that Cqngress should wait until after the report of the canal commission had been made. The shipping men will evidently insist upon their pound of flesh before they let the bill go through.

Tue republicans have discovered that expansion is not quite so nice as they expected. It now seems that Europe is pressing for the open door in the Philippines in return for Mr. Hay's much lauded achievements in China. But the open door in the Philippines means free trade with the United States via Manila, if the Philippines are held to be part of this country and to be therefore entitled to free trade with it. So the republicans are in the quandary of having to deny the constitution to the Filipinos —if the supreme court will let them— or of inaugurating free trade with the* world. As the democrats insisted long ago, expansion and protection are irreconcilable. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford, ir., university, one of the prominent educators of the United States, is a pronounced antiimperialist, in a recent interview at Indianapolis on the Porto Rico affair, said: “The most dangerous and subversive theory since that of secession is that of American imperialism exemplified in the taxation of trade with Porto Rico. It will be repudiated by the American people as it ought to be. If we are to retain our new possessions as part of the United States the constitution gives us all the range an honest Congress needs in managing them. They must take care of themselves as the rest of us do, for the word, ‘sovereignty’ is unknown to American law.*’ • . ' ■

Not Partisan But General. | The Courier has discussed to con-' siderable length the defence of the Puerto Rican tariff law made by Mr.' Hemenway and other defenders of the measure. >We have shown that the law was inadequate to produce the revenues needed by the island. We have shown the lameness of the excuse that the trusts must pay the revenue. The coffee of the island is greater in value than the tobacco and sugar products combined. Yet coffee is brought into this country free of duty. Not a dollar of revenue is paid by the coffee interests. They escape entirely. the burdens of the tariff, while the sugar growers and the tobacco planter is taxed. But the defense set up for the bill does not meet the objections of the people. For the hue and cry raised against the law is not partisan but general. A list of the few of the republicans of this state who oppose the bill includes: Represenative, E. D. Crumpacker. Ex-President, Benjamin Harrison. Ex-Attorney-General, W. H. H. Miller. United States Clerk, Noble C. Sutler. General Lew Wallace. Judge D. W. Howe. Governor James A. Mount. Judge B. K. Elliott. Ex-Attorney-General W. H. Ketch- j am. State Chairman Charles Hernley. C. S. Denny, ex-mayor of Indianap-1 olis. Judge Hiram Brownlee, of Marion. Lieutenant-governor Haggaid. In this list such distinguished statesmen as former Speaker Reed, Congressman Littlefield and Senator Mason are not .taken into account. Among the great newspapers of the country in opposition are: The Philadelphia Public Ledger. The Boston Journal, The New York Tribune. The Chicago Tribune. The Chicago Times-Herald. The Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Pittsburg Dispatch.

ine Minneapolis lriDune. The Indianapolis Journal. These men and these papers oppose the measure because they do not believe even in 15 per cent of injustice. The spirit of fair play for the Puerto Ricans has been aroused. Our people have not yet got to the stage where they will submissively support the plundering of a little island of 800,000 people. They rebel against the spectacle of a giant despoiling a babe.. When General Miles’conquering army invaded Puerto Rico, the plain people welcomed him joyously, for they saw in his coming deliverance from the Spainish yoke. And their deliverers gave a spectacle to the world of generosity in their promises of all their promises of all the privileges and immunities of American citizens. Our people will not be parties to a breach of faith with these islands. When we carried liberty to the Filipinos, it was liberty under the constitution, liberty guaranteed by the fundamental law of the land and not; to be abridged in times of passion and excitement or under the whip and spur of greed for ga|n. This bill is a formal notice of our intention in treating the new possessions. ~ They are to be colonies, whose development is to be encouraged when it does not interfere with our interests and to be abridged when it does. The sense of decency and fair play revolts at such a program and this sense of honor in, our treatment of our new wards is not confined by party bounds. —Evansville Courier.

Great Editors Differ. On the question of the Porto Rico tariff bill which has passed the house of representatives great republican editorial writers have disagreed. The editors of the Petersburg Press and the Indianapolis Johrnal have disagreed to some extent on the question as the following editorials from these papers show. Here is what the Journal has to say: “The position taken by President McKinley in his annual message of last December in fayor of unrestricted free trade between the United States and Porto Rico was right. It was in harmony with Republican policies and with the best traditions and instincts of the party. The bill which has passed the House is utterly at variance with the President’s original recommendation and ought not to become a law. The plea that it is necessary in order to make the Government of Porto Rico self-supporting is not entitled to a moment’s consideration. The American people had better pay for the Government of Porto Rico a hundred times over than impose on the island a law which, if not unconstitutional, is certainly unjust, and that will be as a stone to a people who are asking for bread. V-folitonal in Indianapolis Journal. Col. Thompson, delegate to the republican national convention, in the last issue of the Press says: In assuming control of Puerto Rico the United States does not aim to tax her own' people to establish schools and hundreds of other improvements in that island and let the people thereof go untaxed. It is right that the people of the island pay in part for the things that benefit them. It would be very foolish indeed for this country to treat Puerto Rico as some parents treat a son. The small tariff levied on goods imported into Porto 1 Rico and exported therefrom to the j _ , - - . ■1. ' ft

UnitedStates is nominal and admitting; the islands have it to pay, it only places ] them in a. position to pay for the salt that goes in their bread. It requires money to make needed improvements in Puerto Rico. Let those who will be benefitted most by such improve- j ments be made to pay their part. The i Puerto Bican tariff measure as it j passed the house of representatives is; certainly a step in the right direction, j Etismark’s Iron Nerve Was the result of his splendid health.
