OUR Fl AG IS ABSENT.

Minister Hanna, who recently sent his report from the Argentine Republic to the state department at Washington, repeats an old tale when he says that in the vast flc ct of merchant ships and great steamers going there to trade the United States flag is rarely seen We do not believe it will be seen there with much increased ire quency while the present tariff policy pre- vails.
 Americans are not likely to secure South American trade i'll any considerable quan- titles until they can compete for it with Europeans. We must be able to sell them the goods they want as cheaply as Euro peans can and must be willing to lay them down in their markets at as advantageous rates to purchasers. Otherwise we cannot fer their trade to us. Nor can we take the raw materials found in those countries as payment for the goods we send there, since these must pay tariff tax at the port of entry. While these raw materials are taxed it is not profitable to take them III eACuauSc UT DdTleT 1OT Iuc SoouS "C send there And while the raw materials that enter into the manufacture of the goods we export to the southern continent are taxed by tariff duties we cannot expect that our manufacturers will be able to go into thoso markets on equal terms with those from countries where such hampering restriction ex- ists. While the tariff policy of the repub- lican party prevails our manufacturers are placed at disadvantage ill so far as for eign trade is concerned and are confined practically altogether to the home mar ket. It is for this reason that our flag is seldom: seen ill South American ports and it cannot be expected that it will be seen there more frequently until some change is made
 Let the democratic policy of tariff re form-free raw materials and a reasonable protec ton on manufactured a. yicles-bt adopted, and we believe it will not bt long before the stars and stripes are found floating over American merchantmen il every part of the civilized world where
 there is demand for the goods made il
 our factories.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Washington fin nounces that Secretary Noble has rebuked the Tanner Investigating commission by refusing to accept its curiously palliatory preliminary report as final. 4 color of probability is given to the report from the fact that the New York Press, which has been q vigorous and sturdy champion ot Tannerism, has lately been disclosing a tendency to hedge.
