SENATOR PLUME.

Oar fTee-tTade friends Will undoubtedly
derive much satisfaction from the argu-
7mept Of Senator Plumb against the Tariff
Bill now before the Senate. There is moth
ing original in his argument, but the fact
that it comes from Republican Senator
viii add to its political value. Mr.. Plumb
wants to know when the people of the
United States viii get some benefit from the
establishment Of industries. Ii Mr.. Plumb
would open his eyes be would see that they
are getting it now. Take the iron and steel
industry for example. There is now
small margin of profit for European steel
manufacturers in our markets without du-
ties. What has reduced the market price
below the European cost Of production with
American duties added? There can be no
other cause than American competition.
No matter how low the price might be in
Europe, the price in America in the alb
seuce Of h6me competition would be the
European price plus the duties and cost
of transportation. hr. Plumb continues:
Just as the point was arrived at when
lower prices might be expected. the manu-
Iacturers came 10 Congress and said they
wanted more duties whereby the downward
progress of prices might be arrested" Mr..
Plumb conveys the idea that the Mckinley
Tariff Bill proposes general increase Of
duties all along the line. So far from this
beng the case, the Mckinley bill proposes
to collect less revenue from the same
amount of importations than has been col
lected under the present tariff. The duties
on some articles have been increased, and
on others reduction is made. Articles are
placed On the free list under the Mckinley
Dill which are dutiable under the present
law. Looking over the field, it was found
that In some branches of manufactures
lower duties would suffice to protect the
home manufacturer, while in other branches
higher duties were needed TO cover the
difference in cost in Europe and in this
country. The tariff has been revised ON
this principle. The effect of the revision
may be estimated by the yigor with which
it is opposed in the countries whose prod
ucts are subjected to increased duties The
manufacturers of Sheffield, England, per-
eeive that the Increase of duties proposed
will enable American manufacturers of cut
lery to compete with the English. Hence
the Sheffield cutlery. But why do Ameri-
cans join in the cutlery? Are they really
desirDus of keeping industries in Europe?
II they will admit that they are. American
voters will know where to place them.

now have to buy monthly, the worlds prod
uct of silver falls short of the demand for
coinage and for use in the arts by several
millions annually, and the demand for COIN
age is only supplied by the recoinage of old
coins. 1t may perhaps be expected that the
advance in silver will to some extent check
the consumption of the metal by silver
smiths; silver plate has risen in price since
July 1st about 10 per cent; it is possible
that fewer silver forks, spoons and other
articles of table furniture will be made
hereafter. But if the world continues to
enjoy prosperity, any diminutlon OF such
common Injuries as these will probably be
small. 1t is likely to be more than offset by
the increased consumption of silver Tor
coinage in the countries of Asia, which are
developing their resources and expanding
their industries. The populous nations
which inhabit the eastern half OF the
Asiatic continent have been increasing their
consumption of silver for several years.
They are likely to continue to do so unless
some war breaks out to reduce their capacity

THE COURSE OF SILVER.

We are now beginning to realize the effect
of the new Silver Act The silver ounce is
selling in New York at 81 1914 and in Lon
don-which hitherto has made the price-at
51kd. The long-eXpected turn has come.
Eighteen years ago silver sold in London at
COZ per ounce; from that point it dropped
in 1888 to 415sd per ounce, which was the
lowest point touched. From that point the
reaction set ID, and as the advance thus far
has been merely anticIpatory, it may be
assumed that it will continue after the Sec
rotary has actually entered the market as
buyer. At 81 % per ounce silver will reach
the old parity with gold, and the Treasury
will cease to buy, but between 81 10 and
81 20 there is considerable room for a
further upward movement.
The opponents of the Silver Act argued
that silver legislation would lead to large
shipments of silver from Europe to this
country. and to widening Of the difference
in value between the two metals. Nothing
of the kind is indicated by the present con-
dition of the markets. Europe is buying,
not selling, silver here, and more than half
the difference between the standard values
of gold and silver has already been wiped
out. The fact is, Asia's consumption of
silver is steadily increasing, and Europe,
when has to furnish the metal, is fastening
to provide it, for fear it may cost more here
after. This action is especially noticeable
in London. British India, which is silver
using country. pays its debts in silver; to
do so, the India Council sells in London
bills on India, payable in silver, which have
10 be covered either by shipments of coin or
merchandise. When the Council offers its
bills in the London market the offer has
the effect of the addition for the time being
OF so much silver TO the London supply. 1t
amounts to 4 forced sale of silver. But
when the bills are presented for payment,
they call for just as much silver. and this
must be supplied from any source where it
can be got. Hence the Council is picking
up silver wherever it can find it In this
country and shipping it to Bombay and
Calcutta.
The surprising decline in silver between
1872 and 1888 was accompanied by an in
crease in its production throughout the
world 1t might have been expected that as
the gold value of silver declined some mines
would be shut down, and the output of
others reduced. But precisely the contrary
was the fact. The total production of silver
in the United States in 1873 was S35, $50 900;
in 1888, when the value per ounce had de-
clined 90 per cent, the product was $50. 0O0.-
GOO. The lower the market value of the
metal the more of it came to market What
was true Of the United States was equally
true of the world at large. In 1880 the
worlds production of silver was sos, 900, 600.
In 1888 it was S135, 100000.
Notwithstanding the steady depreciation
OF silver from 1872 to 1888, the actual demand
for 1t for coinage and for use In the arts de-
creased during every year of that period
At the present time, without counting the
s4,50o.000 of silver which the Treasury will

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The conferrees on the Fortirications Appropria
ton Bill have been striving TO reach satisfac-
tory conclusion, the principal point unsettled
being the Improvements at the Wateryet gun
factory. Tie Senate conferTees are inclined To
insist on the equipment Of the wing already
erected, ana encourage the development OF pri-
waite plants for the manufacture of heavy ord
nance. The House conferrees, however, believe
in enlargiug the establishment so as to render
the Government independent OF private concerns
in the production Of guns Of large caliOer. No
time should be lost in settling the point in con.
trOversy for England is about TO erect strong
Notifications TO the north OF US, and has strength

General Miles recently pointed out, the Pacific
Coast is badly in need OF large guns for coast
defense.

cies amount 10 5000, $50, and it is roughly
calculated thai with population of 100000

the West Indies and the savage tribes of Africa.

West Indian negroes and 10000 Africans as
irresponsible, ano The remaining subjects of the
crown are mortgaged for about S45 apiece.
Even India and The Australian colonies have
piled up debts almost as large as tile net debt OF
this country, The amounts being S959,730,000
and 1888, oS2, 600 respectively. Instead OF de-
creasing they are making rapid strides in The
direction Of Increased expenditures.
Senator Blair's resolution instructing the Com
mittee on Rules TO report rule limiting debate
has been referred as lie desired and the prospects
are that some provision will be made that Will
shut of the great flood OF oratory ready to swamp
some OF the very important measures pending
before Tie Senate. In The House the action OF
the Committee on Rules resulted in legislation
being expedited. Too many OF our national
legislators aim TO make records not needed laws.
Just as the impression prevails that Russia Is
on tile point OF abandoning her passive altitude
on the Eastern question fresh plottings against
the Gar have been discovered, resulting as
usual in a number OF arrests ard couple of

element. But he obstinateIy declines TO accede

4 Japanese Girl Crosses the Ocean in
Search of Her Husband.
Among the passengers by the Belgic was
a fine-looking japanese woman of about 80
years of age, who gave her name as Sakau
Shizu. Her passport said that she was COM
ing here to learn the tailOrs' trade, but
when immigration Commissioner Thornley,
Intercepted her, through an interpreter,
she replied that she had come in search OF
her husband, to whom she had been mar
ried three years ago, but who had been re-
siding in America continuously for six
years. Commissioner Thornley, was lost in
wonder for awhile as to how Sakau Shizu
could have been married to man in
America while she herself was in Japan,
but presently it began to dawn upon his
mind that Sakau Shizu was weaving fairy
tales. In all probability she was imported
for immoral purposes, but had not been
posted with that care which is taken in the
case of Chinese women. She was refused
q landing.
