TILE PHnTECTIEE LEAGUE.

The hanouet of the American Protective Iar-
if League is to be judged by the men who par
tcipated. There were hundreds OF the shrewd-
ost and ablcst merchants Of New-York, and
among public men, Vice-pTe.ident Norton Sec
ratary Noble, Senators Hiscock and Aldrich and
Representative Mckinley. The strong men who
sat at these tables have something to do with
shaning the policy Of the Government. Ihey
represent fiscal policy which has governed the
country for thirty years, and has gwen IL
measure of growth and prosperity never at-
tained by this county at any other time, or by
any other country at any time or under any
economic policy.
Mr. Mckinley is always strong and convlnc-
ing. but he made an admirable impression IN
his argument that n revenue tallff is always pald
by the consumer that the first Protective Tariff
which was approved by Washington was made
for tho encouragement OF manufactures, ana
that the latest, or Mckinley Tariff, was shaped
largely by manufacturers for the encouragement
and defence Of agriculture. lie urged again the
point made in the address at The TRIBUNE
Jubilee. that the new tariff gave fTeer, wider
and broader trade than the country has known
under any other
y
his comparison of the results of the last revenue
tariff, 1S46-1so0, inclusive, with those OF the
Protective system, 1S611S9O, inclusive, eS-
pecaly because he demonstrated how much
larger under the protective than under the reve-
nuo system was the proportion of manufactured
products exported, how greatly imports and ex-
ports both had increased, and how Splenddly
and harmOniOusy the business OF the Nation
had advanced since the Protective policy was
adopted Statistics are dry and tiresome to
most men. but the Senator proved that they are
wonderfully instructive and that the favorite
theories OF Free Traders are completely refuted
by the experience of this country within the
last thirty years.
Mr. Doiver, of Iowa, showed how Protection
had helped the farmers. Mr.. Curtis spoke OF
the prospective benefits of Reciprocity, and Mr..
Hanson described the development of the South
under the Protective system. But these and
other speakers did not make too clear the ne
cessity of sustaining those organizations by
which the work of informing and educating the
people must be carried on. Grand as the Pro-
tectve policy is, in its principles and its re-
suits. it must be made known to the people, and
its fruits must be shown to them, if their hearty
and unwavering support is to be secured. The
Protective Tariff League Is one of the organiza-
tions through which this education OF the people
can be accomplished, and it should therefore
have an unstinted support
New-York tribune., 1891-05-01

MS far aS possible by reporting the smallest pos
sibe reserve available. that the sum held Tor
the redemption OF gFe.nbacls was separately
sisted in tn. monthly account. 1t was well cX-
planned at that tine that no provision Of law
existed for holding this particular amount as
separate fund, nor is there any provision Of law
which would prevent the hc'Secretsry Of the Treas
ury from employing the reserve thus held in
any time of emergency for the protection OF the
credit of the Government II Mr.. Foster re-
ports the entire amount OF available cash for
the protection of the public credit, without
sepaation into different funds he will do pre-
cisely what Secretary Folger, Secretary Shcr-
man and every other Secretary OF the Treasury
nror to them did, and the debt statement will
then compare with those issued prior to 1885.
II is q matter of some regret that there has ever
been a material change in the mode OF making
these statements, though as respects the So
called bullion fund there has been in minds OF
competent persons no confusion OF thought. 1t
has always been realized that the cash actually
available for the necessities of the Treasury in
cluded this fund. 1t would have been better
IL the monthly statement could have been con-
tnued without change in form for purposes OF
comparison, and the form adopted in 1855 is
in no essential respect more satisfactory than
that which had been employed by every pre-
ceding Secretary Of the Treasury.
New-York tribune., 1891-05-01
THE STATE OF THE TREASURY.

Secretary Foster speaks with dignity and good
sense, as the business world was prepared to
expect. in regard TO the condition of the Treas
ury. It has been q question with many whether
he had authorized or approved the utterances
of Mr. Leech. the Director of the Mint, and the
Secretary states that he saw the first statement
and gave permission to have it printed, but did
not see the second and that while he considered
Mr. Leech was about right in the main, he would
have stated some things little differently. Mr..
Foster then proceeds to explain his own point
of view, and shows that he does not regard the
Treasury as bankrupt or in any danger OF bank
ruptcy but considers that portion of the funds
in hand, and included in the two hundred and
fifty eight millions mentioned as available by
Mr.. Leech might with proprety be regarded
as trust funds. He says
1t would be correct TO say that about S7O0000C0 is
unquestionably available cash-that IS about S2S,OOO
600 in the banks, S21 100000 Of subsidiary coin
81 100000 In trade dollar bullion, $12 100000 OF cur
rent cash. and s5 100000 OF silver against which no
certificates have been issued. As 10 the SloOOO0OOo
Of gold reserve 1t Is held against S35OOOOOoo green
backs to make the credit Of the Government impreg
nabe for would be able to get together enough
eenbacks take all the gold out Of the Treasury and
therefore they do not take any. But these notes out
would this gold If 1t needed to on pinch
1t should therefore appear in the debt statement as
available cash.
This change in the form of debt statement
which has been foreshadowed in dispatches
from Washington for some time but which is
for the present postponed will undoubtedly be
much criticised by opponents of the Republican
party. 1t will be said, no doubt, that Secre-
10 10 @I,n hor
rier against free use and dissipation of the bull
ion fund maintained for the credit of Govern
ment. 1t is therefore well that his remarks upon
the subject explain exactly what he does mean ;
not that the money should be expended except
ing in an emergency such as would justify that
course but that the fund so held is in fact avail
able to protect the credit of the Government at
one point as well as at any other. II the Gov
ernment credit is at stake, it makes little differ
ence whether it fails to pay one kind Of oblga-
tion rather than another, nor would any Secre-
tary of the Treasury suffer the public credit to
be impaired BY failure to pay an obligation of
any sort so long as there should be in the Treas
ury ample fund with which to meet that obli-
CATION.
In Justice to Secretary Foster and also to Mr.
Leech It ought to be remembered that the form
of debt statement which they advocate, as re-
sDects the treatment of the bullion fund. is pre-
cisey that which was employed by every Secre-
tary of the Treasury from Mr. McCulloch di-
rectly after the Civil War down to Nlr. Man
ming. 1t was not until Democratic President
had been elected, and Mr.. Manning had been
made Secretary of the Treasury, and it was
deemed desirable to muzzle a Democratic House

The police appear to be- confident that they
have in custody the perpetrator OF the bloody
murder in Water-st. week ago. The "sus-
meet, is known as Frenchy," and he was ar
rested not long after the murder was di:cov-
cred. The evidence against him, so far as made
known yesterday, appears strong, but evidently
it is only circumstantial. The man has lied
freely in endeavoring to account for the blood
stains on his clothing and in his room. 1t is
demonstrated that they were stains CT human
blood. The mystery surrounding the case, how
ever, has by no means been cleared up yet.
"Frenchy'' is not the man who went to the
hotel with the woman, and as to this PERSONS
identity the detectives appear to be as much
in the dark as they were week ago.

Tile POSTS dNCSEMENI.

II seems to be 4 source of great amusement
TO "The Evening Post" that Secretary Blaine
declared in one Of his dispatches to Lord Sails
bury that the manner Of killing seals in Behring
Sea by the Canadian marauders is contra
bonos mores"-against good morals. These ma
raudcn slaughter seals in a manner that ac-
cording to expert witnesses, destroys from two
to three while they secure one, thus ln'ilctng
q great loss on the seal herd and doing a serious
injury to mankind. Ordinary people can geo
that this practice is against " good morals" Just
as decidedly as to take fish in manner that
ncedlessy destroys more than arc secured, and
thu. reduces the food supply Of the world.
1t seems to be positive source OF mernment

great interest to humanity, the course pursued
by the Canadian marauders is held to be not

po.itive wickedness. If the same tactics were
pursued with the same results on the great banks

New-York tribune., 1891-05-01

Bahaman Islands exercises just such an e&'ehu-
ed dominion.
II is the claim OF the United States that the
reasons why fisheries arc commonly free fail in
the case OF the seal as in those OF pearls ana
sp0nses The seal are not fish. They arc not IN
exhau,tibc. They have permanent nome OIL
our islands, and if there they are our properly
som. reason should be assigned for the ailega-
ton that they cease to hold that relation to us
when they resort for food to the ocean, other
than the reasons which render Navigation ana
ordinary fishing free. For us to assert Juris-
diction for the purpose of defending our prop
erty is in kind similar to the jurisdiction we
might assert to defend our revenues or our COM
mcrcial marine. When we show that the seal
are born on our islands, that they there have a
permanent home and an annual resort for breed
ing purposes, that they are not ine1haushble'
that they furnish lis valuable industry which
can only with safety be conducted on land ana
which cannot be shared without prejudice to our
interests. and indeed without the Imminent
danger of their destruction, we supply that law
full purpose which all publicsts hold to JUSTIFY
the assertion of an extraordinary marine Juris-
dcton, and to answer that assertion by deciar-
ing that the seas are free is inappropriate anu
senselew. They are free for the welfare OF all
nations, but not for the injury OF any one lhey
are free for purposes that arc fair and lnno-
cent. but not for maraudins. They are free to
fish for fish that are free, but not to destroy
with gun. and spears a valuable animal OF whlch
the supply is narrowed to few thousands law

The saying that prophet is not without honor
save in his own house finds confirmation in the
circumstance that the first public memorial in
honor Of the late Henry Bcrsh hrs just been erected
in Milwaukee. Mr.. Bergh was lifelong New.
Yorker, and began here his great work in behalf
of animals, the influence of which, before his
death. extended all over the globe But New
York has never sought to do him special honor.
Is it not time for some of citizens to ask them
selves whether they have done their full duty by
this friend of dumb animals?
