C., March94, 1002. Why did Mr. Roosevelt withdraw his apposition to tho new force hill pro tramme of tho radical Republicans ? It is known that ho wns at first opposed X? it, and that it would have been aban loued had his opposition been contla led. If tho talk of Republicans can be believed, tho causo of his somersault is any tiling hut creditable to him. They jay that his consent to tho programme, which has been given a freBh start by i u the action of the House Committee pn | tl Rules in reporting a resolution for the appointment of a committee of thir teen to investigate the election laws of the Staten and report to the House, was I s obtained by promising him that the re- | t port of this committee would.be so ma nipulated that it would be made the o excuse for reducing the representation t of tho Southern States in the National l Republican Convention, thus reducing c tho number of votes that he has reason \ to fear will be controlled by Senator j Hanqa and will bo against his own nom ination for tho Pre8idottcy. lt seeniB < incredible that n man of Mr. Roose- t volt's antecedents should allow himself \ to be influenced by BUCh a method, but ] the charge that ho was is made by Re- i publicans, not openly, ot* course, but j among themselves. If the proposed force bill programme be carried out, it will unite tho Democratic party and 11 will surely elect a Democratic Presi dent in 1004. Aftor holding their ilfth caucus tho Republicans on tho administration Bide of tho Cuban reciprocity wrangle won out by sheer force of numbers, the iinal vote being 85 to 31, but if the 31 kick ers who refused to be either bulldozed or cajoled into supporting the admin istration plan have tho n=rve to voto against the party bosses when the rule for the passage of the bill is reported to the House, there is a lively time ahead and a possibility that some im portant tariff amendments may bo add ed to the bill, providing for Cuban re ciprocity before it passes the House, but so strong is the party organization that the chances are that enough of them will be whipped into line to adopt a gag rule that will make it impossible to amend the bili, even if they thereby kill themselves politically at home. It is the strength of their party organiza tion that has kept the Republicans in power Bolong. Senator Rawlins succeeded in getting a big batch of letters from Filipinos, dealing with condition a in the Philip pines, inserted in the Congressional' Record thiB week by starting in toread them as a part of an all-day speech. That caused the Republicans to with draw their objections. The letters will be printed is a public document for general distribution. .It will be a long time before Repre sentative Dick's words to the Republi can bosses, in the caucus-"You pro pose free trade for the farmers and protection for the truBta"-are allowed to be forgotten. Mr. Dick's long and close relations with Hanna and other Republican bosseB have been euch that he ought to be able to speak with au thority about what they propose. The House made a $00,000,000 jab ot the Treasury surplus this week by passing the River and Harbor bill. The HOUBO Democratic caucus, which was largely attended, unanimously adopted a resolution offered by Repre sentative Randall, of Texas, declaring sympathy for tho Boers and pledging the Democrats in the House to do everything in their power to forco the committees of tho HOUBO having charge of resolutions concerning the Hoers to report the same, so that Congress may have an opportunity to express the sentiment and will of tho American people. Tho resolution further says that Congress should appeal to tho British government, in the interest of humanity, to accept overtures tor peace, also that the United States should seo that the neutrality laws are impartially enforced. The Democrats intend living np to this resolution, and either make the Republicans report the Boer reso lutions or accept responsibility for sup pressing them. Speaker Henderson's anxiety about retaining his seat in Congress is in creasing. There is a new lot of trou ble for him in the Ship Subsidy bill, Sassed by the Senate this week. If [r. Henderson, in his role aa dictator of the Committee on Rules, permits that bill to be pushed through the House he will antagonize Senators Al lison and Dolliver, both of whom voted against the job, and with tho tight he already has on bis hands he knows that will be a dangerous thing to do. If he hangs the bill up he will offend Senator Hanna, chairman of the Re publican National Committee, who is especially interested in seeing tho bill become n law, and the majority of his party in both Senate and House. Be ing placed thus "between the devil and the deep sea," it would not be surpris ing if Mr. Henderson dodged this par ticular question by ref using to allow the Ship Subsidy bill to be acted upon at this session of Congress, and seekB to square Hanna and the other big supporters of the bill by promising that it shall be put through early in the next session, which will not meet until after the Congressional elec tions. . , The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections made a bluff?t consider ing the Joint resolution for election of Senators by the people this week, and agreed to hold weekly meetings until a conclusion is reached. A conclusion could be reached in five minutes, if the majority of the committee wished to do so. lt would be an adverse one, but it would Borve as well for a record vote in the Senate as a favorable ono. Boss Hanna has* partially made good his claim of being able to control the Republican "steering" committee and prevent the Nicaragua Canmbill being made the "unfinished business" of the Senate, which would make it reasona bly certain of being voted upon at this session. The committee has decided that the Chinese Exclusion bill shall follow the Oleomargarine bill, which now has tho call, and ignored the Nicaragua bill, which it was asked to make "next" on the legislativo pro gramme, but individual members of the Committee have promised that the canal bill shall have a chance later. Can He Answer the Puzzle ? j pii ini Editor Intelligencer : Open r mi freo :chnngo of ideas has niado it possible ir tho world to detect error, and ao |pt only aa "truth" that which cannot j successfully contradicted. There ?eras to be un idea prevailing that tho nip Subsidy bill which has recently med tho Senate is a "stem" and a ioco of highway robbery. Elimina ii? mero opinions of men who aro ither bought to writo such articles, or irough "ignorance' repontiug what imo political demagogue states for lo sake of being un the other side, let a examine records rather than follow tieso blind leaders. rn? fo to Po wi ns j Si I) L tc S( fr fr P" "In early colonial times American hipbuilders and merchants became uch dangerous commoicinl competi era, from the superiority of their ehips nd tho greater efficiency of their Bnil irs, that tho British Government, by he Navigation Acts, beginning ;in 045, prohibited importations iuto the olonies except in En glish or colonial milt vessels. While tho Navigation Vets restricted trade, they fostered hip building. The merchant marine .ontinned to thrive after tho R?volu-1 ion. Between 1760 and 171)7 the regis-1 ered tounngo increased 884 per cent. ITrom 1837 to 1817 tho tonnage rose from S10.000 to 1,3-11,000, to 3,208,000 iu 1857 and culminated with 2,400,000 ton? in 18(51. "The maximum tonnage of the Uni ted States at any one time registered i\ud enrolled (or engaged in foreign and domestic trude) and iu fisheries was, in 1801, reaching ."5,0:50,813 tons, lt thus nearly equalled the tonnage of tho whole of the rest of the maritime world, excepting Great Britain, whose tounge was slightly greater. But since this time, from various causeB, tho Ameri can merchant murine service has de clined until it is now wholly insignifi cant. ThiB is due largely to tho fact that, when iron and steam vessels be gan to he used, the facilities for con structing them were limited, and tho navigation laws prohibited merchants from taking advantage of British sa periority in construction. Income taxes and heavy taxes on groBS receipt, es pecially since the Civil War, have greatly handicapped shipowners. The coastwise trade, too, has fallen largely iatc the hands of foreigners." . ? ' . . . . The above is taken from American history which is accepted as authentic, trae and reliable in every respect, cov ering a period from 1492 to 1805. Ex amining mere recent reports furnished hy the Commissioner of Navigation of the United States, we find the entire shipping for^the year 1001 to be only 4,582,045 tons against 5,680,818 tons in 1801 and onr population since has gain ed nearly 50,000,000 souls, while the British merchant marine has grown from 5,710,008 tons in 1861 to 14,373,000 tons in 1900 and tho German from nothing, so to speak, in 1870, has grown to 3,800,000 tons, all in less than 80 years. Now, why is it that ouig merchant marine has not kept pace with England, Germany and other progressive pow ers? Another stubborn fact of tho decline of our merchant mariue is tho ratio of agricultural exports in lfiOO being 81.18 per cont, while in the year 1001 it fell to 04.03 per cent. Despite the enormous aggregate of our export tindo for tho year 1001, we nro not making tho stride wo would make if American products were car ried in our own vessels and under our owu Hag. Is it to bo presumed that a dozen or more State Legislatures would have passed resolutions and sent mem orials to Congress to the effect that: "We memorialize tho Congress of the United States to aid, by appropriate and liberal laws, tho .effort of the American line to maintain a placo ia the merchant marine of the world, and by legislative action to extend still f ur thes encouragement to our merchants in their efforts to recover our lost com mercial supremacy in the'.carrying trade of the oceans, putting an end to onr present dependence upon ships of for eign nations for the carriage of tho products of our own country. That both. National pride and National in terests demand tho hundreds of mil lions of dollars yearly paid by our people of the United StateB to foreign ships for ocean freight shall bo paid to our own vessels built and navigated by our own citizens and flying our own flag." Space will not permit quoting a hun dred or more similar resolutions from all parts of tho country, but since the editor of The Daily Mail was so sure that Senat/ . McLnurin of South Caro lina was tho only Democrat in favor of the Ship Subsidy, lot me repeat tho identical words of Senator Tillman on, the floor of the Sei ?te on the 10th day February, 1800, Congressional Record, page 1074: . * . ? * . Mr. Tillman.-I present tho memor ial of David Lubin, ?of San Francisco, Cal., on behalf of the State Granges of California, Oregon, Illinois, Washing ton, Missouri, Virginia and Pennsyl vania, tho Farmer's National Congress, the Central Labor Unionn of Chicago and New York, the Chambers of Com merce of San Francisco, Fortland and Beattie, the Board of Trade of Bath, Me., and of hundreds of subordinate Granges throughout the United States, In relation to protection of agricultural Btaples by a boumy and export aid ship - -*JL,X*. f -B-A.-X*\J, *?\J. iK m tho foreign trades, and advocat ion amendment to (S. r>034) to pro nto the commerce and incroaso tho reign trndo of tho United States, and provide auxiliary cruisers, trans rtaand seameu for Government uso lieu necessary. I movie that the momorial be printed a document and referred to the )tnmittco ou Commerce." . ...*> Now, Mr. Editor, ono moro word and will close for today. If the Ship lbsidy is a otenl, as the editor of Tho aily Mail calls it, and Senator Mc anrin tho only Democratic accomplice ? this "highway robbery," why does rantor Tillman pro?on.t memorials om all other States of the Union in ivor of a Shin Subsidy, but keep the ?opie iu thU 3^ate out of this steal? Which State does Senator Tillman >presont any how? Can any ono oil? He IB freo to memorialize Congress n behalf ot Labor Unions, Grangers, :c, &c, advocating a ship subsidy way from homo, but Senator McLau in who voted openly for it like a mau, s called a Republican. Can tho editor of Tho Daily Mail an wer this puzzle? \). Geisberg. Aaron Items. We will, af ter several weeks abseuce, :ry aud give a few of our current-hap leniugs.
