BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION.
The Philadelphia Press, in com
menting upon the Philippine tariff
bill, which passed the Senate, re
bukes the statesmen for not keep
ing up with the moyement of public
sentiment and then proceeds to
draw a rosy picture of the Philip
pines under beneficent American
rule, as illustrative of "benevolent
assimilation" viewed from the dis-
iance. It says:
"The Senate, if it had been wise,
would have adopted Senator Foraker's
amendment reducing the tariff on
Philippine products by 75 or even by
50 per cent A reduction of 25 per
cent, fs better than nothing. It onght
to be adopted by the House.
"The country is in advance of both
Senate and House on these issues.
Senators and Representatives are still
listening td special interests, when the
mightier and saner tides of public
opinion are setting to the open seas of
a wider trade and the larger claims
and demands of a national policy
which is looking out as well as in, for
ward as well as backward, and lends
a hand at every point to expanding in
fluence and increasing commerce.
"Philippine imports to this country
are small. The largest item,-hemp, is
free. The sugar of Panay and other
islands is the product of a primitive
manufacture, dark, unrefined and put
nip in small bags. It has been driven
out of markets by sugar .more skilful
ly refined. Aid of four-tenths of a
cent a pound, which a 25 per cent re
' ductien will give, will not make up for
distance and crude methods until new
capital improves the sugar. Manila
tobacco, as highly as it is valued in
. East Asia, as highly as Havana tobac
co with us, is not likely to penetrate
American markets with this reduction,
though it may stimulate the produc
tion of Sumatra tobacco. For this
parts of the islands are probably suit
ed. This large thin leaf requires special
climatic conditions, and these are so
definite that this tobacco is successful
ly grown on the south coast of Sumat
ra and cannot be on the northern, nar
row as is the island.
"The new tariff is at best, however,
intended for but two years. It is tem
porary and meets the conditions created
by the decision of the Supreme Court
holding that duties could not be col
lected on products from the islands un
der the Dingley tariff. What is done
now is, however, a precedent The re
bate for Philippine export duties, the
payment of all duties received into the
Philippine Treasury and a reduction of
25 per cent, on all duties are provis
ions which collectively constitute a
liberal fiscal policy. No Europeau
country thus returns duties on colonial
products. England makes no reduc
tion upon them. France and Ger
many give colonies tariff advantages,
but the revenue received goes into the
national treasury.
"The United States proposes to give
this revenue to the colony. It pays
all military expenses, by other coun
tries levied on the colony. Pensions
earned in India are : paid from Indian
revenues. Pensions earned in the
Philippines are paid at Washington.
The cost of transporting teachers is
paid by the Federal Government. The
police of the Philippine seas and its
weather service is a Federal charge.
The result is that the Philippine bud
get for education is larger than that
of all India, paid from the Asglo-In-dian
budget, and there are more Amer
icans teaching at the public cost in the
archipelago to-day tbmn in all India,
" with thirty times the population.
"More and better, no land has ever
done for a dependency. Peace and
order have come under this policy.
The statutes as to treason and its mis-
prision, copied from those in our own
States, which Senator Hoar is so de
sirous of amending, will soon be as
forgotten as little used as the statutes
against treason here. When this tem
porary tariff aspires in 1904 a Philip
pine legislature will be passing its
own laws and making its own tariff,
and the islands will be on the high
road toward whatever form of govern
ment they are best fitted.
"In three years, since the United
States entered the islands, day labor
wages have doubled. Does any sane
man imagine that the great bodv of
the island population object and op
pose a rule which brings this advance
and a peace the islands have never
known?"
As coming from a leading Repub
lican organ this "quoted editorial
is a decidedly sharp rebuka to the
majority in both branches of Con
gress, and what gives 'point to the
rebuke is that it is true and deserved.
It is not referring to-the Philippine
tariff alone when it says: "The coun
try is in advance of both Senate and
House on these issues. Senators
and Representatives are still listen
ing, to special interests, when the
mightier and saner tides of public
opinion are setting to the open seas
t of a wider trade," &c. This means
reciprocity, which may be brought
about by discriminating tariff! modi
fications. What an arraignment of
the Republican statesmen by a lead-
' ing Republican paper. "Still listen
ing to special interests," as, for in
stance, in the case of Cuba.
Congress has had Cuban reci
procity propositions before it ever
since it met, public sentiment is
unmistakably in favor of such tariff
concessions as would make possible
a substantial reciprocity by which
both Cuba and this country would
be gainers, but the majority in Con
gress has been "listening to special
interests" and these special interests
have been able to delay, action and
possibly to make worthless , such
action as may be taken.. These
"special interests" are potent in
elections; they can make or unmake
Congressmen; they know their power
and they use it. When the Presi
dent of the Colorado Beet Sugar
Manufacturers' Association declared
that if Congress didn't take care of
their interests in the matter of con
cessions of Cnba the Republicans
need not look for any more aid for
them, he made a center shot which
hs doubtless had its effect. A man
with a fat wallet, which, may be
drawn upon, wields a mighter in
fluence in Republican party coun
cils than a brigade of men without
. walletB. They never antagonize the
man with the wallet if they know it
and can avoid it. , "
They have been "listening to special
interests" iu all this tariff business,
and that's why they have done their
best to freeze tariff reduce? Babcock
put, why every movement in the
direction of tariff reform is headed
off and why the much talked of rec
iprocity to which all the Republican
statesmen seem to be committed, has
proved so far and probably for good
a mere delusive humbug, j v
But there is about as much sub
stance in that as there is in the
optimistic picture which the Press
draws of "benevolent assimilation"
as it will pan out in the near future
within the next couple years.
This will be necessary to get in the
work before the next Presidential
election, for it would never do for
the party to enter another Presiden
tial campaign with a racket . on in
the Philippines after the broadcast
prediction that everything would be
serene over there within three
months after the announcement that
President McKinley was re-elected.
Possibly there may be i peace in
those islands soon and it is to be
hoped there will be both on account
of the Filipinos who lor some time
have, with the remnant of armies,
been waging an unequal; contest,
and on account of this country
which is sacrificing lives and a good
deal of money in this work of ben
evolent assimilation, which the
Press anticipates in such optimistic
phrases. Assuming all this is to be
true, if, as the Press says, this
country is generously footing the
the bill for all that is being done
for the Filipinos, more than any
other country does for its colonies,
how is this country to be reim
bursed for all that? How is it go
ing to get back the $400,000,000 or
1500,000,000 it will have expended
in this work of benevolent assimila
tion, in lifting the little brown man
up against his will? Possibly if the
Congress of the United States
would endorse the Press's editoral
and circulate it largely in the isl
ands, the dove of peace might light
at once and the loving work of
benevolent assimilation begin at
once; but one thing that is rather
against these prognostics is that Gov.
Taft says the Filipinos are expected
to foot those bills themselves, and
he thinks he knows something about
it.
STRENUOUS AMERICANISM.
J. W. Ivey is U. S. Collector of
Customs at Sitka, Alaska. Some
time ago he issued an order to his
deputy at Unaliska not to permit
Canadian vessels about to engage in
sealing to take on supplies at that
port. In view of the mutual swap
ping of "kinship" talk&c, between
this country and Great Britain,
when the Treasury at Washington
heard of this it asked him to report
and if he had issued any 'orders of
that kind to revoke them. Collector
Ivey thereupon telegraphed the fol
lowing: "My Americanism will not allow
me to rescind an order which gives
British subjects privileges within our
marine jurisdiction which are denied
our own people. There is another
matter that may attract your attention.
I have recently issued orders to the
deputy at Skagway, a copy of which
has been - sent to you, which has
put the Canadian officers located there
out of business and sent them
to their own territory. You are
aware of the faet that this of
ficer became so offensive that he in
terfered with the Americans in the dis
charge of their official duties, opened
the United States customs mail, domi
nated over the railway officials, dis
criminated in the order of shipment in
favor of Canadian merchandise against
that shipped from Seattle, and collect
ed moneys and performed other acts
of British sovereignty, hoisting with
bravado the cross of St George from
the flag staff of his custom house. I
have sent the concern, bag, baggage,
flag and other paraphernalia flying
out of the country. 'Sou may fear the
shadow of international complications
and rescind this order, but a Reed, an
Olney nor a Blaine would not"
This is a fair sample of strenuous
Americanism that will hardly be
appreciated by the gentlemen to
whom it was addressed. Mr. Ivey
dpesn't propose to reverse himself
and he doesn't propose to let any of
our British cousins up there put
on scollops in his bailiwick.
When Mr. Gourlay, of Nova
Scotia, reads that telegram he will,
donbtless, unless the Treasury De
partment sits down on Collector
Ivey, advocate declaring war instant
ly and annexing the United States.
THE BLACK WOMAN'S BURDEN.
A Topeka, Kansas, dispatch to
the Chicago News says a society has
been . formed among 'the negro
women of that city, whose object is
to reform the negro youth. They
will first endeavor to enlist negro
parents in this movement, and then
turn their attention to the negro
young people.
One of the- promoters of this
movement is quoted as saying that
"only one husband out of every five
of the negro race in this country
supports his wife; that the men loaf
on the streets and fool with politics
while their wives are compelled to go
out and wash or do other work for a
living."
She donbtless means the negroes
in the cities, and while this may
possibly be somewhat exaggerated
there is too mueh truth in what she
says. That kind of negro men we
find in every town, and the habit
grows on them until they get to be
lieve that it is their prerogative to
loaf, and the duty of the wife to
work to support them, or to steal
from their employers to support
them, a- good deal of which is
done.
If the negro women of Topeka
; No one needs to be told to try to cure
a cough. Bat any one will be glad to
be tola of a means of cure which will
be thorough and lasting. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is a medi
cine which can be confidently relied
on to cure diseases of the organs of
respiration. It cures obstinate, deep
seated coughs, bronchitis and bleeding
of the lungs. It cures when nothing
else will cure, and the local physician
says: "There, is nothing more that we
can do."
i There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
ical Discovery," and it is absolutely free
from opium, cocaine and all other nar
cotics. ! The dealer, tempted by the little more
profit paid by less meritorious medicines,
will sometimes try and sell a substitute
when the " Discovery " is asked for. No
substitute medicine will satisfy the sick
like "Golden Medical " Discovery." It
always helps. It almost always cures.
Two yaars ago a severe cough started on me
and I was also bothered with catarrh," writes
Mr. P. Skjod, of Danewood, Chisago Co., Minn.
"I could not sleep nights, as the cough was
worse at night I tried several cough medi
cines, but to no avail, until a year ago, when I
got to bad I could not breathe through my nose
St times. I then tried Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
t&l Discovery. Aftar taking eight bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and at
the same time using Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
I Am a well man. I can thank Dr. Pierce for my
good health, and will recommend his medicines
to any one suffering from the same trouble."
I Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. N
who have organized this movement
succeed in reforming the youth and
keeping them in the straight path,
and at the same time in reforming
these loafing negro men and getting
them to tote fair with their wives,
they will have accomplished more
substantial results than all the
masculine negro agitators who are
howling for political equality and all
that sort of thing could accomplish
in a life-time. These Topeka women
are on the right track and should be
encouraged.
In Mobile some of the wooden
block pavements are being removed
to make place for asphalt. The
Register says if repairs hod been
promptly made the wooden pave
ments would be as good to-day as
when they were put down thirteen
years ago. In some of the Western
cities where wooden block pave
ments were tried, and gave way to
asphalt, they are being replaced as
preferable. In the Southern pine
timber belt, it seems to us that with
the process of creosoting wooden
blocks ought to make ideal paving
for streets.
The blue ribbon joker, or idiot, is
a Mr. Gourlay, who is one of the
representatives from Nova Scotia,
in the Canadian Parliament. He
doesn't like the proposed way of
settling the Alaskan boundary ques
tion, and thinks the best way to
settle that question would be to
whip the Yankees and annex the
United States to Canada, which he
thinks Canada could do in about
six months.

There is trepidation among
the iron manufacturers of Germany
over a report that President Schwab,
of the Billion Dollar Steel Trust,
bought up during his recent visit to
Europe nearly all the shares of the
Swedish Ore Company. This is re
garded as preliminary to a more ac
tive invasion of the European market
by the Steel Trust. Swedish iron
ore is of excellent quality, and if
imported to the United States in
ballast free of duty it would serve
to further stimulate American steel
manufactures. At any rate, free
ore would be a good thing, whether
coming from Sweden or snv nt.bnr

ment that so many otherwise sensible
and provident people will, for the
neglect of so simple a precaution as to
have a bottle of Pernna at hand, bring
upon themselves the needless suffering
and foolish expense that a practitioner
of medicine, is forced to witness every
dav.
As soon .as the value of Pertrna is
fully appreciated by every household,
both as a preventive and cure of these
affections, tens of thousands of lives
will be saved, and hundreds of thou
sands of chronic, lingering cases oi
disease prevented. Peruna Is a bouse
bold safeguard.

New Yobk, March 1 The cotton
market opened steady with prices one
to three points higher on a flurry of
general buying, led by shorts who
were once more aroused by the
strength manifested by Southern spat
markets? Immediately after the call
May jumped to 8.60 on continued de
mand from nervous shorts and inrthe
absence of liberal offerings. Pro
nounced strength of the March option
neled to tone up the later months.
Around b.bO pront-takmg became ac
tive and for a time checked further
bull progress though failing to
in any way diminish the confidence of
holders. Trading was very active
throughout the short session, with
Europe and Wall street active buyers
on the advance. The cables were dis
appointing and' receipts at the ports
were larger than looked for, but these
influences had little ettect. The mar
ket for futures closed steady, with
prices net four to eight points higher.
