THURSDAY, OCT. 8, 1903. AMAZING INCONSISTENCIES.

The speech of Mr. Chamberlain at Glasgow, opening the British campaign for the protective policy, approaches more closely to definiteness nnd detail than any previous utterance either of himself or of Mr. Balfour. Mr. Chamberlain is one of the ablest men intellectually in the British empire today, and we must suppose that he has presented his projected policy in its most favorable light.

We cannot understand how anyone can fail to detect in an instant, or how Mr. Chamberlain himself could have passed over the amazing inconsistencies involved in the doctrine which he has now espoused. Like so many other men, Mr. Chamberlain wishes to accept the consequences of his acts while escaping those less agreeable. What he presents to the British electors is the known advantages of a protective tariff system, while keeping its disadvantages, its burdens, its losses and its misfortunes carefully out of sight.

He would carry protection to a certain point and make the applications of it in certain fields only, and there draw the line. If he could do that he would be the greatest miracle-worker in political history. But he cannot. Two extracts from his Glasgow address will expose this radical fault in his logic or his fairness. He calls America's tariff and he sr-eaks truly.

How can he help seeing that it is simply the perfected fruit of the principle to which he has now become a convert? We know ourselves how much twaddle there has been about "infant industries," and how many promises to remove or lower tariff duties when industry was able to stand alone without them. No such promise has ever been kept or ever wfll be. When a po i son i ant springs up from a seed that you yourself have planted, you must either cut It down or leave it as It la. The protective system to collective greed. Its beneficiaries dare not refuse to admit others to their Privileged circle lest the outsiders combine to take away their advantage from them.

The necessary result is legislative favoritism to every Industry that can command the least following at the polls; and a tariff that is abominable, the father of iniquity and the mother of trusts The essential point is that there is no stopping place along the line. Accept your protective principle, and all the rest of it, down to the bloated trust and the people robbed and Impoverished, follows as a matter of course and the consequence of inevitable economic law. When Mr. Chamberlain proposes to impose a moderate tariff on a few commodities, he must know, because he Is familiar with the history of nations and the operation of economic principles, that, if successful, he is preparing for his country 1n the future a fall to exactly that level of economic mistake and misfortune which he so strongly reprobates in us. Again, he says that In dealing with the colonies they would be satisfied with a very moderate preference in British markets.

"They would reserve to us the trade we already enjoy, and would also arrange their tariffs in the future in order not to start industries in competition with those already in existence in the mother country; and not only would they enable us to retain our trade with them, but they would give us preference on all trade done wiih them by our foreign cora- petitors." Mr. Chamberlain is certainly a cheerful optimist and has neglected the study of human nature. The colonies would gladly welcome any preference granted to them over their competitors in the British market. They would probably be willing to give some reciprocal advantage- in their markets to country's products, but Mr. Chamberlain knows less of the colonial spirit than we think he does if he dreams that any new country, stimulated by the chicane of the protective system, would deliberately agree not to start certain industries in order that even Great Britain might monopolize its markets in that commodity, and retain a complete control of prices.

There is no compromise between right and wrong and no halfway house on the road of protection which leads down to Avernus. The programme that Mr. Chamberlain has arranged is the dream of a child, or the carefully prepared artifice of a disingenuous statesman. It is adapted to the ignorant. It may possibly persuade the British workingman, who- knows nothing in his own experience of the working of protective tariffs; who has not the economic knowledge, taught by the history of other peoples, that would expose its fallacy.

The amazing feature of his campaign, as far as it is addressed to intelligent men, is the fatal inconsistency with which he holds a little tariff to be- a national blessing and a national necessity, while a tariff full fledged and of perfect proportions would be an abomination and a curse. It seems impossible that the people of Great Britnin. looking across the seas at their kin in this country, favored and assisted by everything that nature could do for them, yet staggering and writhing under the iniquities of the protective system carried to logical completeness, should not refuse to be bought by the cheap promise that Mr. Chamberlain holds out or should jeopardize their own future by a step which would be one of the most lamentable ever taken in the development of British legislation and English industry. In view of the padding of pay rolls, acceptance of "rake offs," which are said to be going on among Colorado National guard officers, it looks as if they were training to be in line for promotion to the postoffice department.

A SENSIBLE CONCLUSION. "It is'all very well to tell me to go back and organize the farmers of Chisago county and to tell that man to go home to his own county and organize the farmers there, and our intentions may be of the best; but I have my own farm and have my own work to do and so have the rest of you. and we really cannot afford to give our time to this work." These are the most sensible words that were addressed to the socalled convention of farmers that met in this city on Wednesday to attempt an organization of the state In harmony with a project recently made public in Chicago. They go right to the heart of the matter. The farmer is a real workingman.

He has business of his own to attend to. He has no time for conventions and combines and organizations. He is busy producing things, and by the necessity of his occupation his guild is so widely distributed over immense areas of territory that anything like a close and active organization Is impossible. This, on the whole, is very fortunate for the farmer. The last project laid before him is one in which he could not possibly play any other part than that of stool pigeon.

The suggestion was to organize the agricultural interests of the country to control elevators and warehouses and markets. The last was the real objective point. If the managers of such an association could dictate to the farmers when to market their produce and when to sell, they would have unfailing fortune at their command. They could manipulate prices on the exchanges at their pleasure and give a plausible explanation to the agriculturists. That the farmers themselves could really dominate or direct such an organization is a supposition absurd on the face of it.

The laboring men who live in cities where they can get together every day if they like, where they can attend their meetings and where everything has to be done under watchful eyes, have difficulty enough in keeping their organizations out of the control of idle schemers who would prey upon them. The farmer would find it impossible. He could attend a convention or a committee meeting about twice a year, and he would not have the information necessary to pass upon proposed acts or policies of a great agricultural combine. The farmer was wise his day and generation when he declined to come to St. Paul or to send anybody there to represent him in considering this project.

It is an impracticable one, and it would not help him if he joined in it. The "fanners" who did meet could see nothing better than to secure an organizer on a salary and have him go to work. That tells the whole Btory. When an organization of industry has to be worked up by paid agents, the demand for it is very pressing. We are of the opinion that the farmers will pay no heed to the preposterous project put before them, and they will do well in turning to it the cold shoulder.

The death of former Postmaster General Blssell will be learned with great regret by his many. admirers throughout ihe country. Mr. Bissell was one of the most stalwart, independent and level-headed members of the cabinet of President Cleveland. He THE ST.

PAUL, GLOBS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1903. was a man of splendid ability, of sterling character and of sincere devotion to the public good. He-cared very little for public honor of any sort, and regarded the holding of office as rather a nuisance; but he was absolutely faithful to his trust and contributed not a little to the high regard In which Mr. Cleveland's administration was held by the country. He has lived quietly of late and has been ailing for some time, and death was not unexpected.

The country cannot afford to lose, men of his fiber, who enter public life with reluctance and leave it with pleasure, but who regard its work while they remain in it as a sacred and paramount duty. SAVE ROSABEL STREET. It is a disgrace to St. Paul that one of its most important business streets should be closed to traffic on account of its dangerous condition. Rosabel, street is one of the principal thoroughfares in the business section of the city.

It is invaluable to traffic. It leads down to the railroad yards and the heavy business section, and the loss to public convenience and to business by any interruption in Its use must be severe. The immediate occasion of closing: Rosabel street is the damage wrought by recent heavy rains.th^t have left its surface in such condition as to make travel over it actually dangerous when not impossible. The reason behind such condition is because the improvement of the thoroughfare has been fought, thus far successfully, by a member of the assembly who seems to regard it as a part of his private premises. He has insisted that no improvement shall be made.

The worse the condition of Rosabel street the more available it is for him as a storage area. Some public action should be taken upon this atrocious betrayal of the people's interests for the sake of private advantage. If any corporation in this city were to close a street in the business section to traffic tomorrow, there would be a storm of indignation, and injunction proceedings would presently set the matter straight. Business houses have to be careful how they use the sidewalks or any portion of them for business purposes, and the public is generally and properly jealous of Its entire control over public highways. Yet here is one of the great arteries of traffic in this city absolutely fenced off, rendered impossible of use and taken from public possession because it pleases a member of the assembly to exercise for that purpose the power conferred upon him by his position.

Every member of both houses of the city council will share the blame and the shame of this transaction if he does not protest by word and act against the subordination of public to private interest. The order to pave Rosabel street should be forced through at the earliest possible moment. It should be taken out of mittee instantly, and every man who opposes such action should be marked as a public enemy. If Rosabel street is not paved this season it will be closed to travel for the better part of a year to come. Can the city afford to pay this price for the services of such an assemblyman as it has got? Dare the other members of the council unite with him in destroying this great business highway? We shall await the action of the council on this matter with much interest, and shall expect and ask the voters of St.

Paul to hold them responsible for their choice between public duty and private favor. Premier Balfour's makeshift ministry seems destined to go down in history as the ministry that included England's most famous cricketer. DEEP-DYED CRIMINALS. The man least tolerant of lynch law would not sorrow if the dastards who have been threatening and plotting outrages along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad should be caught and summarily dealt with. There is not the slightest need of burdening the courts with the trial of miserable wretches such as these, nor is there any penalty short of Immediate execution that would fit the crime.

These blackmailing villains have been for weeks demanding money from the railroad company under threat of destroying its property. Batches of letters have been received in which the company was held up and its property menaced with destruction. That this is no empty bravado has appeared from actual Injuries done from time to time. Plans to destroy track or trains have been foiled, but bridges have been injured, and on Monday night a portion of track was destroyed near Helena and the ditching of a train was narrowly prevented. This passes all the outrages of the ordinary blackmailer.

These scoundrels are willing to jeopardize or destroy the lives of many people to bring the railroad company to terms. The company has taken the proper position in declining to be blackmailed at any cost, in giving the facts to the public and in setting itself to capture the villains. Once pay blood money to such as these, and no railroad and no industry in the country would be safe for an hour. We -hope to see the miscreants caught without delay and shall express no regret if any accident should happen to them on their way to the nearest jail. The manners and methods of the trusts are beautifully shown in the facts being brought out In connection with the failure of the United States Shipbuilding company.

What the Editors Say The pounding that has been done by the press of the state during the past two years, directed at Gov. Van Sant and his state board of equalization, has at last borne fruit At its meeting on Tuesday of this week the board raised the assessment of the Twin City street railway system' $3,000,000. The governor took no part in the matter when it was under consideration, and It is evident that the repeated taunts of the country papers have had their effect on him, for he did not raise his voice to defend the -low assessment of his friend, Tont County Monitor.

LEXINGTON, S.

Oct. defense in the case of J. H. Tillman entered upon the presentation of its testimany today. Solicitor Thurmond announced when the trial was resumed that the state had no further evidence and would rest.

Nine witnesses for the defense were heard. It is estimated that the defense will consume the remainder of the week with its witnesses. Juror Sharpe, who has been sick for the past three days, was atJle to take his seat today, although court was adjourned an hour earlier on account. The defense first renewed the motion to have the jury instructed to disregard all testimony relative to the possession of a weapon by the defendant a day or two prior to the shooting, contending that no connection had been shown between that and the shooting. The court ruled that the testimony was competent, in view of other testimony given by witnesses for the state.

Editorials from the columns of the State relating to J. B. Tillman were then read and offered in evidence by the defense. On ruling on a point of controversy affecting the introduction of editorials, the court stated that the purpose for which the editorials was submitted was to show the feeling existing between the defendant and N. G.

Gonzales. James Davis, the last witness called, had but begun his testimony when Judge Gary ordered an adjournment, that the sick juror might not be overtaxed. ROYAL ARCH MASONS ELECT GRAND OFFICERS Arthur G. Pollard, of Lowell, Is Chosen as High Priest. LITTLE ROCK.

LIGHTHOUSE IN DESERT POINTS WAY TO A WELL Result of Two Prospectors Dying of Thirst in Alakli Wastes. LOS ANGELES, Oct. lighthouse has been established in the great Arizona desert. Unlike the lighthouses which are set for the benefit of marinets, it is not a signal of danger, but of safety. Two years ago two desert prospectors died of thirst within a short distance of the place where the lighthouse has been established.

Had the light then been there they would not have perished, for the light marks a well of water, the only water within thirtymiles of the spot. One life has already been saved, by the establishment of the lighthouse, for an old German gave up the struggle with heat, sand and thirst and lay down to die. This was just at dusk. When it had become a little darker he chanced to open his eyes and saw a light. It gave him courage.

He arose, staggered on until he came to the light and found water. The lighthouse is simply a tall cottonwood pole with a lantern on the top. It is tended by Joseph Drew, who dwells in the little oasis and ministers to the wants of travelers who pass that way. The light is visible a long distance across the plain in every direction in the night time. RARE STAMPS BRING FABULOUS PRICES Thousands of Dollars Will Not Buy Some of Them.

Mills Reports Discipline Satisfactory at Military Academy. WASHINGTON. D. Oct. Col.

L.

The efforts Inaugurated last year to combat malarial fever by destroying mosquitoes has been continued without relaxation, and with excellent results. No cases of this fever have occurred so far this "The discipline of the cadets," says Col. Mills, as manifested in their conduct and at drill and in military and attention to duty is satisfactory.

There has been no relaxation of the efforts made to enforce the regulations concerning hazing, and it is a pleasure to state that no departures worthy of notice from the spirit of these regulations have occurred during the past summer."
