Ohio district convention which re- Gen. Grosvenor for Congress delivered itself on the Porto tariff question in these words of in- t of President McKinley's admin- Th istration: “We indorse his administration In connec- tion with our insular po: fons, and stand with him in the declaration that it is the duty of Congress to legislate In all that re- lates to the affairs of Porto Rico and the Philippines in such a way as to extend the blessings of liberty and good government, education and civilization to the people of ose territories, while at the same time we hold it is the bounden duty of Congress, by such legislation as its wisdom may suggest, wherever nec to protect the labor » people of the United pmpetition, and we as already been ministration which people of those islands es of liberty injury to our nd our own Interests at home.” 5 may be seen at a glance, this is net the proposition upon which the House was induced to pass the Porto Rico tariff bill. Protection to American labor and in- dustries was not urged, because they were t threatened by free trade with Porto Rico. Mr. Payne, in the period of his advo- racy of free trade, had said as much. The riff bill, as explained by its advocates, was an emergency measure to provide means for supporting the government of Porto Rico. It was represented as having that object, and no other. It was the best scheme devisable for making Porto Rico self-supporting. and keeping her hands out of the treasury of the United States during the time of her prostration. And this explanation was still further em- phasized by cutting down thp proposed tariff rate and limiting the law to two years. If protection, in the broad applica- tion of that p was the object of the bill, why was not the measure presented to House distinctly on that ground? Why was protection at that time kept in the ckground? For no other reason than that lent, the great apostle of protec- States from unjust sretary Root, one of his official nd Chairman Payne, the head of a Protection Ways and Means Committee, were all on record in favor of free trade with Porto Rico. We see in this Ohio deliverance the help- condition in which the advocates of a ff against Porto Rico are reduced. First the sme pretense that the bill was an revenue measure. That was in- by the passage of the bill return- ng to Porto Rico the customs revenue al- collected from her. There fs no an emergency. The Porto Ricar is now in good shape as to and whatever more may be sary can be raised in any one of sev- So nuw we have this talk about : when the whole protection press try. with the exception of less half a dozen newspapers of conse- 1y pooh-pooh the proposition. Kill the bill. A blunder cannot be ded by humbuggery. Neither Ameri- r nor American industry Is threat- ed hy free trade with Porto Rico. —_—__. + « = —____ ‘The Lesson of the Coulson Case.

There course, be no guaran- inst a sudden accession of European power over a large port empire, by force or by negotiation. with the trade door held firmly open {international agreement much of the inci tive to an extension of the European terri- terial holdings disappears. ‘The “open door.” according to the notes exchanged between the powers at the in- ance of the United States, means merei that established customs tariffs, port fees transportation charges will not be levied with discrimination in those areas controlied by Europe, but that wherever the flag of one of the powers Mies all traders Wil be treated with proper consideration, time on of the Chinese But by regardless of nationality. Thus in the Ger- man “sphere of influence’ the German trader will find no advantage over the American. From the commercial point of view, therefore, the open door destroys all profit which the sphere of influence might previously have afforded, and the premium upon European aggressions offered by pre- vious conditions disappears. The American Secretary of State has in- cidentally gone far toward solving the Chinese problem by thus securing pledges from the powers to respect the trading rights of all peoples. China is threatened today both by foreign intrigue and by domestic intolerance and misunderstanding. She is her own worst enemy, despite the greed of Russia and other powers. If she will see clearly through the murk of the Pekin atmosphere and recognize a friend in the United States she may save herself from disintegration in consequence of Secretary Hay's achievement. But if on the contrary she perststs in opposing those interests whese influence in her domain 1s kindly and progressive and reject all such cvertures for help as this now extended, she may soon find herself inextricably in- volved through her own prejudice and blind- SS. These pledges now given should therefore secure not only the rights of American trade in China, but the empire itself. The Chinese minister here in a recent deliver- ance expressed his entire acquiescence in the American view, and if such counsels as his prevail at Pekin this new diplomatic triumph will be appreciated there at its full value. Meanwhile it is a most satisfac- tory achievement for the United States to plunge single-handed into the turmoil of Chinese polities and rescue the principle of trade security upon its own initiative and without assurance in advance of success. ‘The correspondence in the affair just sub- mitted to Congress writes a bright chapter in American statesmanship. —____-+ = —___ Bryan and Shively. Mr. Bailey of Texas is quoted in an inter- view as expressing the hope that his party may not nominate a second-class man for the vice presidency. The sentiment does is an important one, and Mr. Bryan is entitled to a running- mate who will make the ticket symmetri- eal both for character and attractiveness. The Star has expressed this opinion sev- eral times. But Mr. Bailey, not to leave the matter of his idea of a first-class man in doubt, mentions Senator Daniel of Vir- ginia, and ex-Congressman Shively of In- diana, as in every way filling the bill. And he is right also about that. They are ex- cellent men, and either would fill the office of Vice President most acceptably. As to Mr. Daniel, it is doubtful if he would care for the nomination. He. is placed to his liking where he now ts. And he serves his party well in his present place. He is a good speaker and debater, and his party needs him on the floor. He is very popular at home, and is supposed to have virtually a life hold on his office. He has entered upon his third term. To run and be defeated would not be pleasant. To run and be elected would hardly fill him with delight. So that the probability is Mr. Daniel hi If would prefer that some other selection be made. Mr. Shively has qualities that recom- mend him. He ts a young man—only forty- three. He has served several terms in Congress, and {s familiar with public ques- tions. He ts a good speaker. He is a clean and an aggres: man, much on the Bryan order. He would probably be quite accept- able to the populists. He entered politics as a greenbacker, and is probably a green- backer today, though, like others of that faith, subscribing .to free ver as the next best thing. The republicans, by their blunder with the Porto Rican tartff ques- tion, have filled the Indlana democrats with hope, and democrats elsewhere with hope of Indiana.

It is hinted that, although the nomination seems settled, the platform is not, nor is it absolutely certain that the new party organization, which will con- duct the campaign, will be under thick- and-thin Bryanite influences. They are being urged therefore to bestir themselves and prepare for Kansas City. Much of this sort of talk plays around the name of Chairman Jones of the demo- cratle national committee, and, as one may well believe, very unjustly. To begin with, there Is the old story that, owing to poor health, Mr. Jones will be unable to con- duct the campaign. Here then, it is pointed an important ‘post a Httle more to the east's liking. But, as a matter of fact, Mr. Jones is not in poor health. In the Senate he is as active as ever he was and seems good for years of service. So that if Mr. Bryan should choose him for chief of staff again Mr. Jones will be able to accept the place and discharge its duties. Another story is that Mr. Jones is no longer an ardent Bryan man: that he doubts the advisability of renominating the Nebraskan, and as convention day ap- proaches may decide to come out into the open and so declare himself. This is a clumsy yarn which Mr. Jones has several times denounced. He is as aggressively for the whole Brygnite propaganda as Mr. Bryen himself is. His personal relations with Mr. Bryan are extremely cordial. He was never accused of double-dealing. He supported Mr. Bryan loyally before, and on the face of things there does not ap- pear the slightest reason why he should not do so again. These eastern democrats need not prom- ise themselves anything from disloyalty of the silver men anywhere to Mr. Bryan. There will be no such manifestation. Mr. Bryan stands for the silv@r issue as con- spicuously now as he did in 1896, and if elected President he will use his office to forward in every way that may be possi- ble the interests of silver. And it is this widely recognized fact that grapples the silver men to him as with “hooks of steel.” as others in the field. ——___ + ++ -_____ Mr. Clark of Montana is accredited with having one of the most interesting and ex- pensive senatorships ever seen in the col- lection. —__ + += -____ General Otis’ corps of editor-catchers is highly unpopular in a large circle of Ma- nila’s population.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean, Were the men now behind the Oxnard tariff entirely blind and ignorant in their course, there might be some pardon for them, but when, with the whole rank and file of the rgpublican party in revolt against them, “with the full knowledge of this revolt in their possession, with the acknowledged probability of disaster star- ing them in the face and with the con- fession on their Ups that they are com- promising the McKinley administration and are opening the door of opportunity to William J. Bryan, they still declare their purpose of standing by a half dozen mis- taken republican leaders in the lower house, it is difficult to see how betrayal of party trust, breach of party faith and repudiation of party pledges could go to more famous extremes. ————__+ +2 —___— Where Republicanism Becomes Im- im.
