he loves, was repudiated by the Rouman-
ian ministry. Mile. Vacaresco was sent
packing. But this is only the beginning
of the meanness. The Queen of Rou-
mania, the gifted and romantic Carmen
SYLVIA" is charged with having sympa-
thized with lovers and, therefore, the
Roumanian ministry demanded of the
king that he follow the example Of
the unspeakable Milan, of Servia, and
obtain divorce from his irreproachable
Queen. 1t is pleasant to hear that the
King, although he had been weak enough
to yield in the matter of the Crown
Princes love, plucked up enough OF the
spirit of man when it was proposed to
divorce the almost dying Queen, to refuse
to do anything so mean. Consequently
King Charles is accused ofsecret sympathy
with the Queen, the Crown Prince and the
maid of honor, and the ministry give out
hints of his coming dethronement.
OF course Russian intrigue is at the
bottom of all this; but even with that ex-
PLANTATION it is difficult to conceive of
craftsmanship founded on such baseness.
In this matter the sympathies of democ-
racy must be with the royal personages.
A King is entitled at least, to be man.
1t is to be hoped that King Charles will
make up his mind to assume that charac-
ter, and assert the right of both himself
and his heir to be loyal to the women they
love.

That Guatemala is ripe for revolt seems to

term in the office. He lately issued a mani
festo declaring 'in the most solemn and
formal manner" that he is 'firmly resolved
to hand over the authority with which the
people invested him "to whomsoever they
may see fit to elect" In spite of this the
Inlpdr rctdt and other Government organs con-
tinue to insist that General Barillas is the
only person worthy of the Presidency, and
that the election OF another would bring ruin
to the country.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Please inform me how dynamite is manu-
factured PO. W. =
PITTsBURe, September Is.
Dynamite is produced by the admixture of
nftro-glycerine with a silicfous infusorial
earth. known under the German name as
kieselguhr, and in appearance looks like
brown sugar. The principal dynamite works
in Great Britain are at Ardeer, near Stevens
ton, Ayrshire. The manufacture is carried
on under the supervision of Her Majesty's
inspectors OF explosives, who pay periodical
visits and test the raw materials, q system
which, if adding to the cost of production,
Gle produced. The various processes are car
r1ed on in isolated wooden buildings, about
20 yards from each other, and surrounded by
massive banks of earth. Nitric and sulphurie
acids having been mixed, the temperature
being maintained as low as possible
by cold water and compressed air,
the acids are run into q large
leaden tank and further cooled, when glycer-
Inc Is injected by means of compressed air.
This process, being one Of considerable dan
ger, has to be closely watched. On May 8,
1854, an explosion cost 10 women their lives.
The nltro-glycerine now formed is drawn of
and washed in an alkaline solution to re-
move any actdity, and Is then incorporated
with the kieselguhr in the proportion of l to
8. Cartrid ges, about inch to inch diane
ter by 81 inches long, are then made up by
ment and packed in boxes covered with wa
terproof oil paper, with instructions and
cautions printed on them in different Ian
guages. Government regulations both as to
the storage and transport OF dynamite, are
stringent and restrictive.

MICROSCOPIC INSPECTION.
Germany Has Conceded Too Little in Lieu
of Free Sugar Admission.

Chicago Tribune.l
The law about the microscopic inspection
of pork products served simply as the bridge
for a retreat with honor as it enabled the
German Government to withdraw-so far as
pork was concerned, though not wheat
from position that became untenable the
moment the reciproeity-retaliatory policy
was adopted by the United States. And if
the members of the last Congress had been
less wooden-skulled that withdrawal would
have been more prompt and would have
covered more ground With contingent
retaltatory duty on sugar equal to the re-
mitted tax-viz.: $40 ton-the Germans
would have conceded much more and done
it sooner. They would have lowered their
high duties on both pork and flour.
Nor is there any question that even with
the small power of reciprocal retaliation left
to Mr.. Blaine by BOBBY Congressman he Will
conStrain the German Government to do
moro thau 1t has yet done. Cuba and Puerto
Rico furnish little over three-fifths of the
raw sugar imported by this country. After
July next they will admit American pork
products free. Germany furnishes nearly
onc-hfth of the raw sugar imported. w h1le
the prohibition on American pork is taken
off there remains high duty of 81 l6 per 100
pounds. Germany has, therefore, conceded
too little in lieu of free sugar admission. She
long before protest is heard from Spain to
the effect that she has given the United
States more than Germany has done, and
that the sugar of her colonies is being in
directly Disseminated against to the adj
vantage of German competitors.

CARELEssNEss OR woRsEe

The escape of the robber and murderer,
Fitzsimmons, from the county Jail affords
117Tmd ffocje evidence of the need of sharp
investigation into the discipline and man
agement of that institution. Intimations
of such necessity have been heard before,
but this remarkable event leaves no room
for doubt on the subject
There can hardly be a more complete
demonstration of the length to which
official inefiiciency can go than that, after
the county has spent two and half mil
lion dollars in building, In impregnable
granite court house and a jail fitted up
with approved safeguards, the most defiant
and notorious criminal for years evades
trial in one building because he is permit
ted to get out of the other, almost as
easily as from canvas tent The theory
of official carelessness is the most charita-
BILE one, while the alternative supposition,
advanced in various quarters that the
money at his command rendered his Won
derful escape more easy, only emphasizes
the need of strict investiA Ation.
OF course, the escaping criminal was
aided from the outside; but the question

whether his ability, with that assistance,
to overcome the difficulties of bars, granite
walls, and the watch of the prisoners for
which the public money is expended, is
due to official careleSsneSs or official cor
ruption. On either hypothesis the ques-
ton becomes pertinent, if notorious crimi-
mails can escape in this way, what return
are the people getting for their expendi-
lures on the jail?
OF course, no expense should be spared
to effect the capture of this desperate in
order to convince the criminal class that
the laws are not as futile as they now ap-
pear. If the authorities have the good
fortune to secure Fitzsimmons' recapture
it will be hoped that he may be brought
back to Jail with discipline enough to in
sure his staying there.

Retaliation q Poor Policy.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
In your issue of Sunday, September o.
there is an article copied from the TORONTO
Globe, giving report of an interview Win u
Member of Parliament of England, 7. D.
Valentine, q Conservative, alias Iree
trader" "Fair trade" as defined by falr
traders, means that England should place
heavy tax on foreign goods sent into the
country, in order to retaliate on the foreign
er, and to force him TO adopt "free trade"
or at least largely to diminish the duties
which are now levied on British goods-
'.He states during the last 10 OF ID years that
prices of English goods have been reduced
from time to time to enable the manufact-
urer to sell at lower prices, and consequent
ly wages have been reduced, but still again
and again despite of this reduction foreign
tariffs have been increasing until the art1-
san class are asking each other of what use
is the present system of free imports OF
bread and cheese so long as they do not get
wages sufficient to pay the price for them
He ADDS that the people think 1t would De
better to impose moderate duty on Amer
lean wheat. All material progress is effected
through the destruction of capital by 1nVen-
ton and discovery, and there have been
great disturbances in the work of production
and exchange of most countries in recent
years, most notably since 1873 and these dis
turbances still continue. The explanation
of these phenomena is to be mainly found in
vention and discovery, have recently taken
place in the worlds method of doing its
work of production and distribution.
1t would not be difficult to show that this
plan would disastrcdsly affect English trade
and commerce, and injure them very much
more than it would injure the foreigner.
When fair traders say that her goods are
excluded from the worlds markets by pro
tectionist tariffs they state that which is
absurdly untrue. The fact is that these
tariffs protect and foster British trade and
will continue to DO so until they are abol-
1shed Fair trade means Il food tax; their
success in competition, as manufacturers,
rests entirely upon cheap untaXed food. l

impossible to give an adequate picture of
the condition of the nation when SIR r. Peel
took office in lS41. Every interest in the
country was depressed: in the manufactur-
ing districts mills and factories were closed
and property deprecated in value; in the
seaports shipping was laid up useless in the
harbOr; agricultural laborers were eking out

wages and parochial relief: the revenue was
insufficient to meet the national expendi-

Effects Of the Tariffs.

To the Editor of The DisDatch:
Will you give short description of each
tariff act since the adoption of the Constitu-
tion and their results on the finances of the
country. n, Z. S.
MCKEEsPoRT, September 15
A record of this sort would take up far
more space than could be spared here.
There has been more legislating done on the
tariff question in the past 100 years than on
any other four or five subjects put together.
The best known tariffs are those of 17s9, 1924,
1925 1885, 1912, 1s46. 1861, 1883 and 1890 That of
1883 established the system of protection.
From that time onward to the beginning of
the War of 1872 the tendency was, on q whole,
toward higher duties. During that conflict
rates were doubled, and at it's close they
were reduced. Advances were made in 1924
and 1928, but q reduction was made in the
sliding scale tariff of 1888. In 1912 ia ties again
went up, but in lS46 the turn was once more
downward, and this was the drift of things
until the eve of the Civil War, when, under
the celebrated Morrill, tariff, the general
level of duties was materially advanced.
Shortly after the end of the war rates again
started downward and the changes since
then have, generally speaking, been in this
direction, but rates have been kept fully up
to the protective point. Undoubtedly the
protective policy has largely benefited the
country. The greatest financial and busi-
ness disasters which the country ever ex-
perienced-those of 1887 and 1s57-occurred
in periods when the tariff was down to or
near the revenue only" basis.
