% (Extractb fFom the closing speech OF
Hon. Roger q. Mifls IN the House OF
Representatives.
Mr. yepeekef, befbie cohSludeI want
to refer 70 the celebrated suit OF clothes
which the gentleman from Ohio TMr.
Mckinley exhibited tOth6 House dur.
ing the delivery OF his speech on the
18th Of May. In tRe speeeh which
made in >the opening of this debate j
said u laborer who was earning 81 q
day finds q suit Of clothes which he
could buy for SO without the tariff tax,
the suit could be procured by ten days
work but II Congress at the Instance OF
the manufactures puts . duty Of 100 per
cent. on the clothes, he would be re-
quired TO work twenty days to get the
same suit. The gentleman from Ohio
[Mr. Mckinley, j when he came to an
swer me, produced q suit of clothes
which he said was identical with the
suit Of which / spoke, and which he
said could be bought in the city of Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago,
and Pittsfurg for $40. tsior - fqf'T
have been at. great, pains to trace
that very suit, and have followed IL back
to- the manufacturer and procured all
the items of its cost. have got its
exact cost and Its exact weight. Its to-
tel cost was $6.68. u Its labor cost was
Sl.65. Its weight was 4 pounds and 4
ounces. It required, SO say the wool
manu- faeturerss pounds of Woolin the
grease to make one pound ofwool cloth,
then i required II pounds of greasy
wool to make the pounds and ounces
of goods. The doty,of that wool Is 10
cents a pound, or Sl.70 for the suit.
Therefore the cost of that suit "without
the tariff taxn was $4.98. Instead OF
that being q $40 suit of clothes ''with-
out the tariff tax" it was a $49S suit.
Now for the protection OF that suit that
cost, with the word duty added, $0.5S,
there Is tarifftax of 40 cents per poun, i
for compensating the manufacturer for
the duty be advanced on the wool that
amounts to $l.70; then there is o tax oi
30 per cent. for his own protection
which amounts to 1888, the whole pro.
lection amounting to $4.O3, which
added to the $6.68 makes 1911. Oh
course the manufacturer had to under
sell . the foreign suit, and, to do $50
dropped under him n cents, and isold
his &.9S for $40 with the help of the
tariff.
These are the facts about your suit oi
clothes. l am told that suit of clothes
is to be photographed and sent out as a
campaign document. cAll ask is that
the fact be photographed on the brain
of every voter that the actual cost ol
that $40 suit of clothes was less than
$5i and that the tariff made it cost Sic
worth of labor to purchase it; and but
for the tariff 1t would have cost only
l$5. -

Why tho Balance ofTrade Is Against
[chicago Tribune tRep.)l I,

1t follows that the manufacturers must
be put in condition to export their pro-
ducts and meet the competition Of for
eign rivals or the balance of trade will
remain permanently against l,7 the
United, States. So long as the Ameri-
can manufacturers are burdened with
taxes on raw material which is obtain
ed free by foreign prdducers they can
not compete in neutral markets. Time
and again the Tribune has warned Con-
tgress and the public that under exist
ing: conditions the balance of trade
could not continue much longer in. our
favor, and that measures to extend our
export trade were Imperative. :. The
ugly fact of a changed balance Of trade
now appears to Justify the Warming ana
add force to the, demand for, tariff
changes calculated to revive the export

GERMAN TROUBLES.
The Opinion OF German Editor on the
Present Crisis.

The Opinion OF German Editor on the
Present Crisis.
CHICAGO, April 9.-Hfrman Rsstor,
editor of the Illinois Stats Zeituns, ex-
poets that if Bismarck resigns he will again
bs Chancellor of the German Empire when
Grown Prince William shall have assumed
the crown. "The marriage of Victoria
and Alexander is a mere pretext, he said
in an interview to-day. Bismarck was
sick Of official life. The Emperor's procla-
nation was direct snub to Bismarck.
Within the last four weeks, scarcely day
passed that Bismarck has not been snub-
bed, politically to be sure. A week or so
ago decree was arrived at in
the German cabinet to the effect
that henceforth no DEGREES shall issue
unless indorsed by full Cabinet vote.
Bismarck always detested being overruled
by majority and probably that day he
determined to resign, but he wanted to 60
out on more popular grounds. He could
not openly oppose that decree any more
than he could the proclamation and num-
erous other cuts given him by the new
Emperor. The real cause of Bismarck's
probable resignation, I believe, is not the
proposed marriage. That could have been
easily managed. Alexander of Battenberg
could have been taken in and made a
Major General and all would
have been serene. But Bismarck
knows that Victoria is his deadly enemy.
Frederick will soon die. William will
ascend the throne aud Bismarck will be
recalled. William and his mother, the
present Empress, are so much at outs that
she will be virtually an exile in England
from the date of his coronation. OF course
it will be given ont that she has gone to
England to visit hec mother, the Queen,
and to remain for an indefinite period, but
she will be none the less an exile.

NORTHWEST FLOODS.
The Rivers Over Their Bsnks-Damags to
Property.

The Rivers Over Their Banks-Da image to
Property.
ST. PIERRE, MINI, March 9.-The Min.
nesota river broke over its banks yes er
day and is flooding the bottom lands east
OF the city. Everything for miles has been
submerged. No serious damage has been
done thus far except to the long bridge
leading to the Omaha depot. The river il
nearly over the Omaha tracks, and il
within a couple of feet of the high water
mark reached in 1881. The ice has moved
out and is reported gorged few miles
down the river.
An Austin, Mimi, special says: All the
streams in this portion of the coantry are
swollen. Almost every wagon bridge in
this county has been swept away. The
only serious damage is that to Officers
mill. The ice formed a gorge at the mouth
of Rose creek and when 1t broke up
it struck the large wagon bridge
across the Cedar, just north Of
the mill with such force that il
was thrown into the river. This mass OF
material and ice rushed forward toward the
mill with tremendous force, and striking
it, carried away the flume, a number of the
abutments and portion OF the lower
story.
The rain storms Uf the last three days,
together with the great thaw, have caused
the greatest floods in Fountain and Albert
Lea lakes and the Shell Rock river known
since the country was settled. The water
OF Fountain lake is up to, or over flowing,
the entire Isthmus between the two lakes
by the piling of large quantities of earth.

OLEOMARGARINE CASE.
Validity of the Pennsylvanis statute
Affirmed.

Validity of the PennsyiVana STATUTE
Affirmed.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 9.-The
Supreme Court of the United States today
rendered an opinion in the case No. ia,
VIM. L. Powell, plaintiff in error, versus
the commonwealth of Pennsylvanis, COM
monty known as 'Oleomargarine Gaze, in
error to the Supreme Court OF Pennsylya-
MIA. This case brings up for review the
Judgment of the Supreme Court OF Penn
sylysnia sustaining validity Of statutes Of
that commonwealth, making it unlawful
for any person to manufacture, sell, or Of
fer for sale. any butter, or cheese, or arh-
Gle designed to take the place of these
articles produced from any COM
nosition than unadulterated milk
az cream, The plaintiff was
convicted of violating this statute and took
an appeal, basipg it on the ground that
the statue was in violation OF the Four
teenth amendment TO the Constitution and
that article sold was q new invention not
deleterious to the public health. The eourt
holds that il is within the policy powers OF
ths State TO protect the public health and
thai QQecLkODS Tue - SA~S.-~--
garine is CT may bs conducted in such
Way as TO involve sueh danger TO public
health az to require the suppression Of
the business rather than its remul.
tation are questions OF facts and
of the policy which belong to the legislative
depa-tment to determine. If all that can
be said of this legislation is that it is un-
wise, or unnecessary, or oppressive, their
appeal must be to the Legislature or the
ballot box, not to the judiciary. The court
also SAYS il cannot assent to the argument
that if this statue is sustained then nothing
stands in the way Of the destruction by the
legislative department Of the constitution
and guarantees of liberty and property.
The answer 10 this argument, It holds, is
that the judiciary department Is bound not
10 give effsct to statusry enactments that
are plainly forbidden by the constitution
The objection that the statutes denies the
equal protection OF the laws is also held
to be untsnsble, for the reason that the
same penalties and burdens are imposed
upon all persons engaged in the same
business The judgment is affirmed; opin-
ion by Justie Hariag Justice Field dis
Senting.
