GUANO-AGAIN.

GUANO-AGAIN.
We desire to make a correction on one
point upon which we spoke yesterday. In
referring to the enterprise set on foot in
this City by Capt. Jewett and others to
procure guano from the Lobos Islands, we
stated that tvO vessels at least had been
started upon the expedition without wait
ing for the decision of the Government
upon the right of our citizens to embark in
the enterprise. We now learn upon I'M
questionable authority, that though the yes
sells TO which we alluded departed from
the United States in May, they left for
another destination, and were not char
tered for the guano voyage until after the
receipt of Mr.. Webster's letter. This cir
cumStance relieves the transaction from
every shadow Of Improperly as respects
Capt. Jewett and his coddjutors, and places
the whole expedition upon a high and hon
CRADLE footing so far as its projectors are
concerned.
They acted i'll full and firm reliance upon
the declaration of the Secretary of State,
and with the knowledge that the matter
had been the subject of Cabinet consulta-
ton, and that the Secretary of the Navy
had dispatched orders for the departure Of
the fiigate Raritan to the Lobos Islands.
with instructions TO protect all of our citi-
zens who might repair thither to obtain
CargOes.
Under these circumstances, they have a
clear and unquestionable right to claim full
protection at the hands of the Government,
and that such protection will be granted
we cannot entertain shadow of doubt 1t
is to be presumed that what the Govern
ment has done it has done deliberately,
and with full knowledge of its position
and responsibilities in the premises. By
its action it must abide. With regard to
the causes that elected the somewhat re-
narkablc letter of the Secretary of State,
we know nothing and care to know moth
ing. We yesterday ventured all the sur
misses we have to offer on that head. So
with regard to the right of all nations TO
appropriate what would seem to be a
bounty of nature bestowed for the benefit
of mankind in the deposits upon the Lobos
Islands we reserve our opinion until
we feel more fully prepared to decide. But
i'll respect to the claims of such of our citi
zens as have reposed faith in the unquali-
fed declarations of our Government. and
have embarked their capital to very large
extent and thus become deeply involved
in this guano enterprise, we cannot admit
question. The Government must face
the music. They can neither back out nor
shllly-shally on the question. without doing
the rankcst injustice to individuals. and
manitesting a tergiversation of behavior
ana a pusillanimity of spirit totally I'M
worthy the American name. And far be- l.
rom Us 10 suspect it of any such intention.
Yet we must not be understood Ne cov,.
selling any injustice toward Peru. If the

Had the fact been explained, The Journals
readers would have seen that the quarterly
value of the domestic exports was greater
by about One-eighth in the protective year
than il had been in the free trade one
but the explanation was withheld. Why.
The Journal may, if it will, explain. In
this case, the figures were true, but the
table Was false.
The tariff of l642 went into opera
ton in September, and the fiscal year
1923 commenced on the first of October.
At that time, the nation was in a state
of prostration, and time was needed to
enable it to recover. How it did recover.
is shown in the fact that the amount of
imports for ,0hich ve paid, while paying
OFF orr back interest, went up steadily
from the S100,00O,OO0 of 164l-2 to
Sl06,000.000. in 1884, Sll7,000,000 in
lS44-5, S12l 900, 900 in 1856, and Sl46,-
100000 in 1646-7. 1t did not suit, how
ever, TO give the latter year to the period
of that tariff. We had, it is true, recov-
cred rapidly, and our ability to buy and TO
pay had been brought about under the tariff
of 1912, but it suited our neighbors to cut it
off at June so, 1916, when it continued by
law until December, and its successor was
rendered totally imperative for a year
longer. by the high prices in England, con-
sequent upon the great speculation of 1916.
We had grown rich. Our production had
greatly increased, and there was a large
demand abroad for food and by conveying
the whole year 1867 for the benefit of
the tariff of l846, fine display of figures
might be made, all of which might be true,
and yet the table itself might be false"
as it was, for no part of the power to pay
for the foreign merchandise imported in
that year was due to the action of the new
system. and that the writers of The
Journal knew as we'll as do our read
ers and ourselves. Had they desired
to present an honest view of the work
ing of the protective system, showing
its effect on the ability of our people to
purchase and pay for the produce of for
eign nations, they would have given the
