Germany has long been known as great
in arms, in arts, and in craftsmanship,
snd she is developing commercial Bis
msrcks who will soon be recognized as
the leading spirits Of the business world.
English gunboats following English mis-
sionaries opened up trade that extended
over the world and made Great Britain
ruler of the seas and OF most OF the land
German pluck and push of late years has
been making itself felt. Germans hsve
almost driven the English out OF Mexico,
out Of the South American countries, out
of the Bahamas, and in fact out Of almost
every country where they hsd an equal
chance in the struggle for trade. The
Samoan episode shows what vigorous
and singularly bold people the Germans
are becoming, and with what vim and
persistence they work for supremacy.
They never tire, never lag, never surren-
der in their efforts to build up trade with
s foreign nation or crowd out q
rival. The latest evidence of German
enterprise is shown by the project Of
raising cotton on the east coast o Africa.
Texas furnishes the seed and the planter
to superintend the cultivation of the new
crop and in few years the cotton crop

Ths Excessive Iron end Steel Duties.
Philadelphia RecorC

There should De nothing capricious or
vindictive in the work of revising the
tariff duties On steel rails or any other
article. The Bessemer combination has
taken advantage Of the tariff to extort the
last dollar from consumers, and this is
what every other fairfield monopoly does
under like circumstances. The duty Of
Congress is now to legislate for the pro
lection of consumers, but in such way
as not to suddenly OR arbitrarily expose
to ruthless competition manufacturing
industries that have long depended upon
tariff bounties.
The price of steel rails in Europe is
about S21 ton, and the freight with
other charges would bring the price to
about s2S so or s24 at the wharf Ia New
York or Philadelphia. A duty OF IS q
ton, raising the price Of imported steel
ralls to S3l so or sS2 ton, would afford
ample projection to the Bessemer steel

manufacturers, while It would secure
American consumers against monstrous
extortions TO which they have been so
long subjected. In the tariff bill sketched
or Mr.. Randall and his friends last year
il was proposed to reduce the duty On
steel rails to 80 ton; but as IL is evi-
dent thst the manufacturers would. be

better TO be on the safe side, so that mo-

Gates and benefciaries of tariff eXtortion
make the most OF it.
At the same time the iron ore used in
the manufacture of steel-and that is the
only kind mported-should be put up

manufacturers Of this country upon sn

have the whole world for market for

this legitimate trade might not be so

spasmodic booms which the tariff has
created, bu they would be more certain
and secure.
So far from checking the production Of
iron ore in Pennsylvania or in shy other
part Of the country the change Of policy
would give it q healthy stimulus. The
manufacturers would import no more
ore from Spain than might be necessary
for the production OF certain qualities OF
steel, duty or NO duty. The more of this
foreign ore they should re obliged to use
the greater would be their demand for
domestic ores for mixing with it, and for

THE "TRUSI" QUESTION.

The great question N Congress Just
now is how to prevent CT abolish the
various "trusts" that are being formed,
and the esgerness with which Congress
men engage in the discussion of the sub
Jet shows how important they believe It
TO be. Bacon wants to investigate pools
generally, Randall wants to investigate
the Standard Oil Company, Brumm the
Anthracite coal pool and the Western
Union Telegraph Company and so on.
They want to investigate these questions
and report to the country just what they
fnd and then lesislate them out OF exist
ence. There are certain things that legis-
lation cannot effect,and suppressing these
combinations 10 one of them. However
desirable it might be to prevent corpora
lions from pooling, these pools and COM
binations are commercial necessities
growing out of the exigencies of the
times. Coal operators can meet together
and agree upon price for the product Of
their mines just as doctors, law
yers and others agree upon fees,
and it would be difficult to deprive
them of that right without
violating the spirit Of the constitution i:
not the letter. On high moral grounds
or by resorting 10 the pleasing task OF
utopian theory Weavig it may be
claimed that mine owners should not
extort from the people too great profit
On one of the gifts Of the Crestor, but
when the attempt Is made to prevent
them by national legislation it seldom
amounts to anything. A good deal OF
cheap-stsge thunder is INDUCED in on the
subject of monopolies and pools cslcu-
lated and intended for the gallery gods,
snd when all Is told the matter remains
just where it was at first. 1t looks very
much as if these ebulliuons OF seemingly
indignant resentment against the vices OF
monopoly were more for the purpose of
killing time than anything else in order
that legislation that will be Of practical
benefit to the country may be deferred
and defeated.

LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS.
They Donounce the Administration and Cry
for Protec tion

for Prote ction
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 26.-The prin-
cipsl plnnks in the platform adopted BY
the Republican state convention are IS
follows: We condemn the free trade
tendencies of President Cleveland's adj
ministration and the organization CT the
House of Representatives OF Washington
whereby free trader was made Speaker
who has in turn constituted the CON-
mittee on ways and means in such man
ner as to insure an attack on all protected
industries Of the country and especially
those Of OH state, sugar and rice, sId
we see with amsZ ament that
our representatives in Congress con-
certed with ana voted for the organization
which we condemn. We view with no
less smtzement the fact that the late
Democratic convention at Baton Rouge
entirely ignored the question Of prOteC-
ton of our industries and by cordial IL
dorsement Of President Cleveland gave
unmistaksble evidence Of its sympathy
with the beleful tendencies Of his admin
istration so destructive of the prosperity
of our beloved state and people.
Believing it TO be the duty Of national
and state governments TO foster and pro-
tect the agricultural and manufacturing
interests and industries Of the state, We
pledge our cordial endesvors to assist IN
adequate legislation for the safety and Sc
curity OF the American principle of protec
ton to all our industries without regard
to time, plsce or location, to the end that
labor and capital shall be secure in their
rights and privileges from foreign compe-
tiiion and interference.
Coming TO state matters the platform
pledges the party TO economy in admins
tration, condemns the Democratic party
for piliDg up debts, approves and prom
ises to faithfully carry out the debt sd
justment, calls on the staIe'5 representa-
tiVes in Congress to work for the B!sir
