UNRESTFUL BRAZIL.

II requires patience and the wisdom
born of experience to organize and solid
ify a Republican form of government.
Brazil went into the matter hastily
Dom Pedro was loved by his people and
respected by the world. Whether the
country was prepared for the change
which came 10 it so Unexpectedly, and
whether it has the steadfastness to abide
the storm which now again so suddenly
shakes it, are things that remain to be
seen.
French republicanism has had to en-
dure shock after shock, but the knowl-
edge of how to possess and how TO use
liberty has, perhaps, been gained in the
century that has seen the Revolution,
the Directory, the first Napoleon, the
coup detdt, the war with Germany and
the Commune. May Brazil's expert
ence be less bitter. The interest Of the
United States in republican institutions
in South America must always be
warm aud sincere.

personally know Of scores Of families
where one or both parents have been
prosecuted to their grave, and their chill
dren driven from possible responsibility
to permanent criminal life."
Ii is not easy for an American to ap-
preciate the full significance of this
statement, yet its meaning is clear. The
average wage of English workingmen,
taking into account short time and pc
riods when no work is to be had, does
not exceed fourteen shillings, or 1896
per week the year round. Education
then, instead of blessing becomes a
curse, for the board schools, though
vaguely supported by government allow
ance from taxation, are really main
tanned by the fees, ranging from one
penny to nine pence per week, exacted
from each child in attendance. An
average payment perhaps is five pence
or ten cents, and as the poor, unlike the
rich, have swarming families, the week
ly expenditure, under the compulsory
education law, of from thirty to fifty
cents is an all but uncomfortable drain
upon the scanty resources Of thousands
of families.
Would American workingmen like to
live under such conditions as to regard
the schooling of their children with utter
adherence: and when the mouldy un-
truth is brought out season after season
that the cheapness of living on the other
side of the Atlantic balances the differ
ence in wages, would it not be well to
remember that the single item of the
school tax absorbs for years in many
households from tenth TO a seventh of
the entire earnings?

At THE NAVY YARDS.

For the first time since the war a full
force of men was kept at work in the
Brooklyn navy yard on Sunday. This
morning it was reported that the
Charlestown navy yard would fit the
Norfolk, for sea in few days.
The hustle of preparation is equally live
" on the Pacific coast.
We are not pushing the work upon
our cruisers because we expect to fight,
bul rather in order that we may not be
obliged to fight. There is every
prospect that the Chilean difficult
ty will smooth itself ont peace
ably, but with people possessing the
peculiar Chilean disposition, inaction
would be attributed to weakness and n
show of force is the wisest precaution-
airy measure. The hot-headed Young
sters aboard the Norfolk, who say they
are off for "a lively time" may very
possibly encounter some lively weather
on the ocean, but when they get to Val
paraiso they are likely to find them
selves wanted chiefly to create good
impression of their country's resources
by taking part in a grand naval parade.

EFFECT OF THE TARIFF LAWS.

The expected report of the finance
committee to the Senate under the
Aldrich resolution of March will be of
especial interest and value. The COM
mittee, being required to report from
time to time the effect of the tariff laws
upon the imports and exports, the
growth, development, production, and
prices Of agricultural and manufactured
articles at home and abroad, and upon
wages, domestic and foreign, set for it
self the task of discovering the wholesale
and retail prices of 2l0 articles of general
and domestic use for the past twenty
years in seventy-five different places !;
also, the rates of wages for the past half
century. These researches have been
carried on, first, by two subcommittee,
one of which met in New York and Bos-
ton, while the other traverses the
Canadian border; secondly, by special
agents sent TO various cities to make de-
tailed inquiries into new industries, such
as tin plate and pearl buttons and,
thirdly, through the Department of Ag-
riculture and the Bureaus of Labor and
Education.
Both Republicans and Democrats are
represented on the subcommittee, and
the preliminary report is expected after
the assembling of Congress. 1t will pre-
sent retail prices for the past six years
by months, and special reports are TO
follow it, on the development of the cot
ton and woolen industries, as to both
machinery and fabrics; on metals, in
cluding tin and tin plate, and on agricul-
tural machinery. The investigation of
prices in foreign countries is not yet
under way.
Commissioner of Labor Carroll ID.
Wright. j. ID. Weeks. editor of the
American Manufacturer, and DIR. Faulk-
ner. professor of political economy in the
University of Pennsylvania, are assist
ing the Finance Committee, and the
prospect is that the facts and figures de-
veloped will command widespread atten-
ton.

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

THE NEWS has before this commended
Henry Cabot Lodges article on the tariff
in the November number of the Arena
TO the attention Of its readers. Mr..
Lodge has the courage Of his convic-
tions; he quotes the free traders often
est repeated argument, "You cannot
make yourself rich by taxing YOURSELF"
and shows that it misses the point en-
tirely.
" The question is not" he continues,
whether you will tax yourself in order
to grow rich, but whether you will so
frame your tax laws, and so raise your
revenues, as to discriminate in favor of
your own productions and your own
wages against the production and wages
of other countries, or whether, on the
other hand, you will let everything
strictly alone and leave the country to
come ont the best way it can"
Only person who has conversed with
typical English free trader can appre-
ciate the full force of this paragraph.
Ask an Englishman who believes in the
English policy what is to become of Brit
ish workingmen and women when the
looms which the British manufacturing
centres are now supplying to India are
in full operation, turning out their pro-
duct with the aid of the cheapest labor
in the world, and he will say with the
most perfect calmness and quietude that
he does not know; that il. not phase of
the matter with which he feels himself
called upon to deal. 1t is good for the
machinery maker for the moment; as
for what is to be the fate of the machin-
cry users afterward, why that must ad-
just itself according to the laws of trade.
There is no more instructive spectacle
in the world than the sang Jroid of
full-hedged English free trader.

BERLIN's FINANCIAL STORM.

Not in twenty years has Berlin been
so-shaken as the collapse Of Hirschfeld &
Wolf, the fall of Herr Leipziger and the
tragedy of the Sommerfelds have
shaken it. The wreck of the great
financial houses involves an exception
ally long list of titled victims, with an
army of small investors and the usual
and unhappy contingent of widows and
orphans. Though Hirschfeld 81 Wolff
were not the largest house in Berlin, yet
the confidence felt in them was so i'm
plicit that not another establishment
existed disaster TO which could have
carried suffering through so many
classes of society.
The house was supposed to be one of
the most conservative in the empire,
and yet it is now suspected of having
been insolvent for many years. The
decline of the Russian loan in Paris,
Hirschfeld d Wolf being the special
secret agent in Berlin of the Russian
government in this matter, forced the
crisis, the official inquiry into which is
likely to uncover financial fraud and rot
tenness in unsuspected quarters. I'm
palliated and objectionable demorializa-
ton of the men who hold the purse
strings of the empire is talked of. and
the uneasiness now felt in every Conti-
mental city is likely TO have an injurious
effect upon Russian securities generally.

children, but this is free country and

they wear something.
