will radiate more heat, and is there
fore the more economical. The reason
for this is that the larger stove has

effect is greater upon the surrounding

gent management must be taken into
account with this comparison.

FREE TRADE AND COTTON.


A correspondent in Arkansas asks "what
ton?n The obvious effect would be 10 stop
certain portion of tho cotton mills in this coun-
try, which could not meet unreStraned foreign
competition. How many or which Of the mills
no enc can tell; unquestionaby a large num-
Der of them can and do produce certain quail
tiles Of cotton goods as cheaply as those are
produced elsewhere. But others, and how
many it is not possible to say without the costly
experiment, would have to stop production
The people employed in these mills must DO
supported in idleness, or, crowding into other
occupations must displace other people now
employed. That would involve some decrease
in the demand for cotton and all other goods;
people out of work cannot purchase as much
as people who have good wages.
"Free Trade" however, means the removal
of protective duties, not on cotton goods only,
but on products of wool, iron, glass, lumber,
leather, silk, and the entire range OF manufact-
ures which protection has developed in this
country. That would close large part of the
furnaces, mills, mines, foundries and factories,
and turn out of employment a vast army OF
people now earning good wages, and support
ing families in comfort When this great army
could no longer purchase cotton goods freely
more of the cotton mills must stop. The great
decrease in the demand for goods, and the stop
page of many cotton mills, would inevitably
depress the price of cotton.
Twenty years ago this country consumed
100000 bales of cotton of 400 pounds EACH
and all the rest of the world 100000 bales
Now the rest Of the world consumes 100000
bales, an increase Of 30 per cent, while this
country consumes 100000 bales, an increase
of 200 per cent. That is the difference be-
tween protection and free trade in twenty
years Cutting off half the consumption in this
country now would put the price Of cotton
lower than it has ever been, in all probability.
That is, if the South raises 3,3O0,0O0,OO0
pounds of cotton, now averaging about 10
cents per pound, it would sell for less than 8
cents, as it formerly did. That would mean a
loss of $1G5, 100000 yearly to Southern pro

is disappointed when Jacob Worth refuses 10

that a High-License law, which has improved

WISE POLICY FOR BROOKLYN

For years the tax rate in Brooklyn has been
so high that the local officials have not dared
to increase it in order 10 carry out needed i'm
provements. II was impossible to borrow
money because the Constitutional limit Of debt
had been passed. Owing TO the reduction of
the debt and an increase in the value Of city
property about S4,OO0,OOO can now be bor-
rowed. Mayor Chapin has proposed the issue
of S2OOOOOO in three-per cent bonds
100000 for tho purchase Of land for new
parks, 100000 for sites for new school-houses
and S1,3OO,O00 for repaving and repairing
streets Three measures are now before the
Legislature to authorize these loans, which will
not increase the public debt. Under existing
laws, 81 ,O0O,0 is raised every year to be paid
into the sinking fund for the ultimate redemp-
ton Of the present debt, which bears q and
pcr cent and cannot be refunded. These pay
ments must continue for twenty-six years be-
fore the burdens created by previous genera
ton can bo taken from taxpayers. Mayor
Chapin has recommended policy by which new
th,ee-per cents can be paid into the sinking
fund and public works that are greatly needed
can be undertaken without adding TO the prin-
cipal of the debt. The sites for school houses
and parks can be purchased more economically
at present than in the future, and the thorough
fares of the city can be repaired and renovated
without increasing the annual tax levy, which is
already oppressive. This policy has been well
received by the public and is supported by To-
cal journals Of both parties. If it be followed
for twenty-six years it will involve the substi-
tuition of a thTee-per cent debt for the existing
debt with a saving Of $1,000,000 alone in the
charge for interest.
OF the three measures now before the Legis-
lature only one has met with any opposition.
This is the bill authorizing the Mayor and the
Commissioner Of Public Works TO repair and
repave thoroughfares. While it has passed the
Assembly by a vote Of 81 TO 3, it has been con-
demned by a subcommittee of the Republican
General Committee for Kings County. As this
subcommittee has met only in secret session,
its reasons for opposing the bill are not known.
As tho bill has been amended so as 10 prevent
expenditures for public works during the pres
ent year. no political campaign fund can be
created for use during the pending Presidential
election. II Is not easy to understand why this
subcommittee has undertaken TO obstruct the
passage Of these measures and to warn Senator
OConnor. who short time ago was heartily
advocating them, that he must not allow them
to become laws. Certainly public-spiritcd Re-
publicans who are acquainted with the de-
plorable state Of the streets and the urgent
need of these local improvements will not thank

4 CHECK TO RIGH LICENSE.

The High-License bill was not acted upon
in the Senate yesterday, as the Republicans
found they could not be sure yet of the Con-
stitutional majority. Five Senators who were
elected as Republicans still refuse TO support
the bill Those who profess willingness TO
vote for it provided 1t is amended know per-
fcctly well that to send it back to the Assembly
at this stage of the session means It's sure de-
feat. Senator Sweet is reported as being willing
to vote forit if the minimum beer license should
be reduced to S75. To make licenses so cents
a week cheaper 10 beer saloons where the To-
cal authorities fix the fee at the minimum, he
would take the risk of almost certainly killing
the bill. This looks very much like pretext.
1t looks very much as if Senator Sweet was
quite as unwilling as Jacob Worth or Sen
ator Laughlin that the bill should pass. but
lacked their piratical frankness in openly say
ing so.
We speak specially Of Senator Sweet because
attention has been directed TO him as q man
who might be expected, in view Of the high
character of his constituency, to waive any
personal reluctance, and vote for bill so pos
itively demanded by public sentiment. No one
