TALKING OUT In MEETING.

Evidently the American attorneys for freetrade
have not conducted business to the full satisfaction of
their foreign principals Notwithstanding til" vigor-
Gus opposition the Mckinley bill has encountered, the
probability that it will without serious modification be
enacted into law, occasions unusual anxiety among
European manufacturers.
The reiterated assurance of free-traders on this
side that foreigners have but to add the tariff to their
prices and purchasers must pay it, however effective
for party purposes here, by means Satlsfac

facturers especially close students of our tariff
legislation and cautiously shape their business

To illustrate Last fall the town Of Llanelly, the
center of the tin plate manufacture, took steps for
increasing the public water supply. No sooner it
announced that the Mckinley bill proposed to advance
the tariff nplates and render it possible to manu-
facture them in this country, than public meeting
was called at which, after assurances from the heads
of all large tin plate works that under the proposed
legislation the time would when Americans
would make their tin pIate," it was decided to
postpone the work, " in order to what would be
the fate of the tariff bill before the American Con-
gress.
Also in the center of the cutlery manufacture
equal anxiety is manifested. A delegation recently

and all members who could took
a lew of the children. What a grand

wholesome food. The Lord surely
will reward so noble a charity, and
the poor parents will never forget
to bless those who provided relief
and enjoyment for their little ones.

THIS WILL NEVER DO"

Our exuberant and original con
temporary, the Atlanta Constitution,
prints a long editorial urging, in
the event of the passage OF the
Force bill, organization of home
league clubs in the South to boycott
Northern goods. The suggestion is
endorsed by Governor Gordon in a
communication to the Herald which
we print this morning.
The editor of the Constitution is
undoubtedly serious in this proposal,
although We should prefer to regard
it as an outburst ofirony and humor.
If there is anything that would in-
sure the passage of the Force bill
by an overwhelming pressure Of
Northern sentiment it would be the
threat that unless Northern people
voted according to the dictates OF
Southern politicians the Southerners
would not buy their goods. There is
something so mercenary in the sng-
gestion, something so grotesque,
that it is difficult to treat it with
seriousness.
And yet We might as well say
seriously to our friend in Atlanta,
who cannot dislike the Force bill or
any legislation akin to it more cordi-
ally than the Herald, that if he
wants to see every Northern and
Western State go Republican let
him make 1t clear that the Soath-
erners mean to introduce boycott
ing into their politics. Upon that
issue we can promise New York to
the next Republican candidate for
President by $4,000 majority.
The Northern people will simply
not endure it. Their opinions are
not for sale. Their goods, not their
principles, are in the market. To
be told that unless We vote as was
dictated down on the Suwanee River
there would be no Southern markets
for Northern manufactures would
make the most hidebound Demo
cratic peddler Republican.

LET MEXICO KEEP HANDS OFF.

If, as is reported, Guatemala and
San Salvador are at war with each
other, it will be well for Mexico to-
possess her soul in patience, and
keep her hands out of the affair. 1t
is rumored that she proposes to in
terfere against Guatemala. Mexico
appears to be getting along fairly
well now IN state OF profound
peace, educating her people to some
slight extent, and developing her re-
sources to much greater extent.
The Mexican patriots are gradually
learning the advantages OF working
for and earning livelihood instead
of trying to steal or rob it from each
other. 1t has been hard fight with
them, but under the presidency of
Diaz they are making fair progress.
Nothing could be more disastrous
to the struggling republic than to
break off its scarcely formed indus
trial habits for a return to the old,
disreputable life OF twenty or thirty
years ago. 1t would be disastrous
IN many ways. Prosperity and pro,
gress would be arrested indefinitely.
The millions of American capital
now spread over the different states
of the republic would be frightened
away, and works of the highest
moment to the future of the country
abandoned, at least for this genera
ton, for it was upon the permanent
cy of peace and order under the
new regime that American capital
lists we're induced to settle there.
But this would not be the only
ruinous feature ofunwarranted inter
ference in the affairs OF her neigh
bors, nor, perhaps, the worst.
If Mexico tackles Guatemala, III
all human probability she will get d
tremendous thrashing. The Next
cans are the most VIGOROUSLY lncom
petent fighters on the American
continent. They can brag and they
can stab an enemy in the dark, but
when it comes to meeting deter
mined foe in the open field they are
worse than children. They have
been endeavoring for ten years tC
put down the Yaqui rebellion, and
they are now about as far as they
were in 1881. The YaquiS can mus
ter two thousand warriors in per
fectly open country, where they
give their enemies every chance, but
whenever the two come INTO collision
the Mexicans, with remarkable
unanimity, take TO their heels.
For such country to attempt to
conquer Guatemala, built up under
INC genius vi lue OllSlual DdrlllOS;
would be like putting up a spider.
