The Inevitable Reaction.
KVIWCNTI.V a leaetion Is .set
ting in against the Philadel
phia North Amei lean's type
of yellow Journalism. This
is not suipilslng. The only cause for
wonder Is that it did not come sooner.
Tlie Philadelphia Bulletin, one of the
most substantial and Intelligent uews
P.ipfcis of the I'ily of Uiotherly hove, in
:i comment upon one of the North
American's spasms, says It "plays the
role ol a noisy custodian of the virtue
it nil morality of the town" and adds:
"As usual It handles ppithets hi the
place of arguments, partly perveils
quotations and cariles on the discus
sion after the manner and style sugges
llvu nf the Intellectual outfit of a stable
boy or the bouncer for a dive. Tlie
atise oi gooil government In Plilla
lelphla lilts no need more Imperative
thiiu the. clapping of n muzzle on the
laws, of this join nulistlc hlackguatd."
And Hie PlttKlnug Times, recently
n alliance with the political foices
.eprrseiiU'd by Wrmaiiinkerlsm, thus
limn upon their chief organ: "The
'hihiflelphin North American, having
'ailed so brilliantly to reform tlie city
)l Philadelphia, lias now taken up the
ask'of giving to Pittsburg some faint
ill- of respectability. In the course nf
i column or so of toiniuyroi this great
nglne of truth penults one of Its hired
lands to discuss the reasons for Pltts
lurg's so-called lack of public con
iclence. It appeals that the. depths ot
oo In which this Journal finds Pitts
Hint i are largely chargeable to the
itivvspapers of this city. As to what It
.ays ot other papers in Pltthbuig tH,
nines hns no concern. Hut tlie fol
owing Is a deliberate lie, and the, man
ivho wrote It, lis well as ihe, man who
nsplrediij, Knew It to be a He,"
Tlio following" Is a churge of ills,
lonesly j which we need not lepeut,
illicit it Jh of no local tnUuem, Hut It
moves tho Times to say further "The
S'ortli Aiuericnii absolutely controlled
is it Is by John Wanumaker, yet
ifrald to admit It, oh he is ashamed to
.onfess It. should In all decency keep
lnndH off other newspapers. Nowhere
u tho United States is theto a news,
saper so entirely unreliable as It Is In
is every feature, or ao ulteijy un-
KCIPUOCtTV Is the iiiill.il y
of pioicctlon. It Is not a de
p.irime but a development:
It is not an inconsistency lint
a M-queuce: ii is not a oiitradictiou
but a i (inclusion and a culmination.
Piesident Itoosevelt, in ids gieat
message, ild lecipioclty must lie
treated as the handmaiden of piotec
tion. It is that and more lb. to thai.
It is the olfspiing and heill.ige of pio
tection. If you did not piolefl. you
would have nothing but natural prod
ucts lo send out. If you did not pro
tect, you would have no menus for
leciproial terms. Pioleciion builds up
our Indttslr.v and sectues our own mar
ket for our own products: recipioclty
seeks outlets for Ihe suiplus. Protec
tion ei eates the at sella I which foiges
ihe weapons of tiade. and lecipnuily
wields these weapons in the most ef
fective manner in controlling foielgn
exchanges,
tteclprocity does not mean the sacri
fice of one Industiy in older io help an
other. Ii does not mean the loss of the
greater domestic mniket In the hope of
gaining the lesset loielgu market.
President McKinley s.'tleguarded It
when at ltuffalo he advocated "sensi
ble trade ni r.tngements which will not
Interitipt our home pioduetlon." This
is the touchstone. With Ibis quallli
catlon lecipioclty is wise; nay more,
it Is piaclleable; nay nioie, looking
both to progressive public seulimeiil
and lo trade ipquiieinenls for the fu
tme Ii is essential.
It does not involve entrance upon a
general taillf revision which would
be disturbing and unfortunate. It only
requites an intelligent acceptance of
the policy, and the adaptation of exist
ing legislation by some general provis
ions. Tills is not ihe time or the piaic
lo discuss details, I can only Miggest
a few general thoughts. We can wisely
make one set of terms wiih the i topics
and another within our own parallels
of latitude. We have made coffee free.
We do not need the revenue, llut In
giving It fiee admission, why should
we not have required coiitesslons Iii re
turn',' This is otil.v mi example of
oilier things, We might well draw a
circle mound this American liendsplieic
and put it on a special and peciilltuly
favorable basis. When It comes to
tlie great nations that produce along
the same lines with ourselves, might
we not fix a minimum and a maxi
mum'.' There Is atioilier variation of this
method. The president might he vest
ed with authority to make a reduction
or remission or Unties wiihln limits
anil on prescribed conditions, Congress
would not abdicate Its loutrol, as It
ought not to do; It would detei'lullio
the conditions and the limitations, as
it ought to do; but It would arm the
president with the power to deal with
exigencies. We need nioie lloxlhlllty In
our system. .Slluallons change ami
conditions vary. There should be au
thority to make adjustments stilted to
Ihe modified circumstances, T.et con
KxesH dellne the rates and Hie icstrlc
lions, and then, within tlicsu restric
tions, let Hie president, as tho executive
ulways on guard of the will of congress
and of the nation, have power to deal
with the, changing demands of trade
or with the sometimes sudden emei
gencles of friendly or unfriendly action.
With our nmuzlng development wo
cannot be Indifferent to these consider
utlons. Match the United .States today
against Oreat Britain. l-Yunco and
Germany together,, with double our
population, nnd our manufactures are
already equal to all theirs and tiro
srowlnsr twice us fast. Our uurnliu,
power Is equivalent to that of Kuglandi
ttpinmny, Austria and ttnly tlnltedi
V earned last year alone tint r as
iniifh us the entire uecumtihitcil wealth
of Hip country thirty years itgo, We
niantifiicture one-third of all that In
iiindo In Uip world, and Willi our super
ior equipment one pair of hands here
mulches four pairs In Ktlrope. We are
lioliur forward hv leans and bounds.
Already our pinillgloiis advance aiidJ
our enormous exports excite the won
der of the world, and wo are not minii
nioie than beyond the threshold of our
growih, Kutope liilks of tlio American
peril. There Is no such peril, There
Is only the Aint'ileiin bcnefuetloni
Wherever we go, whether In trade fit in
sovereignty, wp go only In blessing and
honellt. Hut go we must In peaceful
advance, through icclprocnl exchanges,
and enlarged coinnierec, for our pro
ductive capacity has far outstripped
our own absorption, and It cannot slop.
So long as Mr, Duron simply wished
to wash his hands nf the canal busi
ness, his ipiiinrks concerning Hip situ
ation, though a tilfle ipiuoved from
Hie real facts of the case, should
mouse no bitterness,
I'otigiess may yet demonstrate that
all the pneumatic guns have not been
absorbed liv the navy.
