It Is customary for partisan c papers speaking of the Pres- e Jdent representing their political ' belief to characterize his message to Congress as the "most able document ever written," but without political bias or party partiality, vve think wo can refer to President McKInley's message, sent to Congress yesterday, as a clear, forcible and unequivocal presentment of the affairs of the nation, a document that will well repay perusal. The document opens with a brief sur-vey of the growing strength and increasing power for good of republican institutions and American liberty at the outgoing of the old and the Incoming of the new century. The Chinese problem is made the dominant question In our foreign Intercourse and ' an elaborate review Is made of the de' talis of military operations and diplo matic steps taken In the progress of the settlement up to the present time, and which have been made known to the public by official announcements in the past. The securement of an adequate guar antee for liberty or faith is put rorwaru as one of the essential factors of a dur- ^ abh? adjustment of the present difficulties'in .the Flowery Kingdom. Touching the question of indemnity the President says: "I am disposed to think that due compensation may be made In part by increased guarantees of security for foreign rights and immunities, and, most Important of all, by the opening of China-to the equal commerce of all the world. These views have been and will be earnestly advocated by our representatives." In the event of protracted divergence of views In the negotiations the President favorably Inclines to Russsa's suggestion that the matter of indemnities be relegated to the court of arbitration at the Hague. After expressing satisfaction over some minor foreign matters, the President takes up the isthmian canal project. Regarding the Nicaraguan canal, the Information Is given that the Nlcaraguan government shows a disposition to take measures to promote the water way, after having declared the sostyled Eyro-Cragin option void, The< report of the convention. It Is recommended, may be awaited. The convention with Great Britain to remove any wujctuuus wjiii;u nii&ui iwise uui oi me Clayton-Bulwer treaty to the construc- ' tJon of the canal Ik commended to the ( early attention of the senate. The outlook for the passage of the i Nicaragua bill ivas brightened somewhat by the press dispatches yesterday i morning conveying the Intelligence that 1 Secretary Hay and Senor Correan, the Nlcara^uan minister, on Saturday sign- , ed a treaty whereby Nicaragua concedes to the United States the rights and priv- , lieges for the construction of the Nica- ( rngua canal. Nicaragua Is to free her- j self of any treaties that would abridge the privileges of the United States, and ( is to be paid 15.000.000 in the securities , of the Canal Construction Company. This leaves the way perfectly clear for j Congress to ?cL The financial operations by the gov- j eminent during the year are reviewed In riftnll. "It will bo tht* flutv. nn 1 am euro it will be tho disposition of the Congress," says the President, "to provide whatever further legislation In neoded to Insure the parity under all conditions between our two forma of i metallic money, silver and gold." Touching: the deposition of the surplus the President recommends u reduction of Internal revenue war taxes In the sum of JCO.OQO.OOO. " "This reduction should be secured by the remission of (hog*taxes which experience has shown to be the most burdensome to the Industries of the people." The Inclusion In tho reduction Is specially urged of the legacy tax bequests for public uses of a literary, educational or charitable character. In record to combinations of capital org&nlied Into trusts, the President reiterates his deliverance on this subject in his last message, adding that "restraint upon such combinations as are Injurious, and which are within federal Jurisdiction, should be promptly applied fty the Congress." Tho treatment of the Philippine question consists larg'ly of n review of events and nets there during the pnst year, recalling, the President's determination to await the decision of the will of Congress as to tho establishment of a form of government, He report* favorable progress towards pacification and the institution of local government. Increased needs of the army by reason of th? oew porawwlons, the country's :oast defenses, and new army post*, la jointed out, and the necessity In the mmediate future of from 45.000 to $0,00fr nen in the Philippines is stated. "It nust be apparent," says the President, 'that we will require an army of 00,000 rnd that during present conditions In ?uba and the Philippines the President ihould have authority to Increase the 'orce to the present number of 100,000, included in this number, authority ihould be given to raiso native troops n the Philippines up to 15,000, which the raft commission believe will be more directive In di'tcctlng and suppressing fuerillas, assassins, and la drones tha* >ur own soldiers." Attention Is called afresh to the necjssity for amendment of the alien conTact law and Important features of the ightful application of the eight-hour aw /or the benefit of labor and of the >rinc!pal of arbitration are commended o Congrtas. These arc but the sallertt points of a veil ordered and thoughtful message, rhe President concludes his paper by eloquently admonishing Congress that 'in our great prosperity we must guard igalnst the danger it invites of extrava:ence in government expenditures and ipproprlatlons; and the chosen repre etatlves ot the people will, I doubt not, urnlah an example.in their legislation if that wise economy which in a season if plenty husbands for the future. In hla era of great business activity and pportunity, caution is not untimely. It *111 not abate, but strengthen, confllence. It will not retard, but promote, egltlmate industrial and commercial ixpansion. Our growing power brings vlth it temptations and perils requiring constant vigilance to avoid. It must lot be ured to Invite conlllcts, nor for >PPresslon, but for the most effective Maintenance of those principles of ^quality and Justice upon which our Initiations and happiness depend. Let is keep always in mind that the founlatJon of our government is liberty; its iupcrstructure peace." Compulsory Conciliation. The Civic Federation of Chicago has ailed a conference of the laborer, the employe and the capitalist to meet early his month In that city to discuss the irbltratlon of labor disputes and the ronclllatlon of labor and capital, and in his connection the report of United States Consul Dillingham, at^Auckiand, >n labor legislation in Xew Zealand, vlll be quite Interesting. He says the abor laws of that colony were enacted n the effort to regulate certain condllons affecting employer and employed. ["heJr seppe embraces many difficult impositions into which the exigencies >f modern industrial life have forced hose engaged in the trades and handi:rafts. The general tendency of the 'complusory conciliation" law, say It* luppuntrg, is iv umcjiura.ic me pu?iuuu >f the worker by preventing social oppression through undue influences and he unsatisfactory conditions of sanltaion. "It will doubtless be found," says Mr. Dillingham, "that, with the advance ol :ime, these laws are capable of great m prove m en t and amendment; but they lave already, their friends assert, done nueh to make the lives of operatives of 'uller and more healthy growth. Their ilm Is to check abuses before these obaln formidable dimensions; but that hose laws have not prevented abuses s pretty generally admitted, and, Inasnuch as the "rosy" side of the question ia3 heretofore been given In reports published In the United States, 1 deem t.advisable to give the other side as sell." This "conciliation law" is solely for :he benefit of the unionist laborer; nonmlonlsts have no status under its provision*. In other words. It would appear that the non-unionist can sell his abor If he can get an employer to run h^ risk of encountering vexatious and expensive legal proceedings, Instituted jy some union for engaging him, instead of a unionist. In citing the workings of the law, the j ttnsul^Says that "if A. being a unionist, lpplles for work, and B, a non-unionist, Applies, and the employer, knowing the ! ion-unionist and believing him to be :he better workman, engages hlrn. then \ could set the law in motion, make the preference to the non-unlonlst at? 'industrial dispute,' and put the employer lo the trouble and expense of trying to justify his employment of B Instead of A. What employer will run that risk? He finds It less expensive to Bubmlt to the law and employ the less competent man, whom he docs not want, than to fight it. In theory, he need only employ the unionist If he be equally capable; but, as the proving of the equal rapacity involves a lawsuit, the theory Is Impracticable." Here are some very choice nuts for the Civic Federation Congress to crack on the line of the proposed conciliation scheme. If the New Zealand labor law Is not class legislation then we don't know the meaning of the term, but we presume the Chicago Congress will bo perspicuous enough to give us some light on the subject. Trade With Germany. "While the meat restrictions of Ger many have tvcll night ruined our trade with that country Jn that particular branch of trade, anxiety as to Us effect m other commodltlea seema to he wasted. It will ho remembered that ? fear was expressed aomo months ago that certain trade restrictions proposed In Germany might Berloualy Interrupt the soinmurclal relattoiiN between that :ounlry and the United States and especially decrease our exports to that country In agricultural products. Figures Just Issued by the treasury bureau of statistics show that our exports to Ciermnny, In the ten months ending with October, 1P00, werv $27,000,000 gre ater than thosu In the corresponding months of last year, an Increase of about 20 per :ent and that our Imports from (Jcrinnny show an Increase of js.000,000, a fain of over 10 per cent. Of the forty great articles which compose the hulk of our exports to Germany more than two-third* show tin Increase In 1POO ns compared with 1899. Thosu ivhlch show the principal dccrvnse nro liog products, corn, wheat, fcrtlllxors im! certain linen of machinery. Thoaq which show an Increase an; cotton, Hour, fruits, tobacco, timber, mineral >lls, cotton seed oil, oilcake ami menl, [allow, pa ratlin, rosin, turpenllno, coal, :opper, bulldora' hnrdwarc, aclenllllo I . and dectrlcal Instruments, agricultural I implements, sewing machines, cars and furniture. I Copper shows an Increase of more I than 13,000,000, mineral oils 72,000,000. | tobacco and agricultural Implements nearly 11.000,000 each and unruanufac, tured cotton over $28,000,000, while In the list of articles which show a decrease there are but two cases In which the I falling off Is as much as $1,000,000?corn I showing a reduction of a little more | than $1,000,000 and wheat a little more than $2,000,000. Tho Democrats oncc claimed that the Republican policy of protecting the tin I plate Industry was a farce, and as usual they are confounded by facts and reI suits. Since 1852 the output of tin plates has Increased from 18.803 tons to 379,767 I tons in 1893, while within the same perj iod the Imports of British tin plates have fallen from 263,472 tons to 53.915 tons. The surrender of 2,200 rebel Filipinos 1b the beginning of the end, and a fulfillment of the prophecy incident to McKlnley's election. Others will follow rapidly, now that a break has been made. Knitters game is up, after Germany's snub. He will have to"oe satisfied with the effervescent sympathy of Prance, Inspired, not by love for Kruger, but hatred of England. .!
