SCORE ONE FOR THE HOG.
SATURD

Want, absolute want has knocked the
bottom out of Germany's tariff on Ameri-
can wheat and pork and now western
flour and the great American hog will
have free entrance into German ports.
Heretofore a duty of 40 cents a bushel
has been levied upon wheat and rye and
the importation of American pork, bacon
hams and sausages has been virtually
prohibited. All this has been recently
changed. The German ministry-un-
like our own gOvernment-could not
hold out against the clamor of the peo-
pie for cheaper bread and meat. So it
was ordered that wheat be admitted free
and that American pork when accom-
panied by a clean bill of health, shall
pay nc duty. This makes the market
for northwestern bread stuffs and pork
as wide as the old world and as keen as
a alf-famished people can make it.
The free entrance of the American hog
into German ports is a surprise. That
empire has been fighting our grunters
for years. He was accused of possessing
all the ills to which hog flesh is heir, the
deadly trichinea being among them. The
German people were made to believe
that American pork was little less than
a deadly poison, and hence the sweet
meated porkers we're tabooed. OF course
the German ministry believed nothing
of the sort, and when it became clear
that owing to short crops the people
must suffer unless they could get cheaper
bread and meat-which were already so
per cent higher than in former years
the tariff was taken off.
In taking off the duties upon these
articles of food the German ministry
has shown a consideration for the veal
of the people to which the dominant
party in this country is a stranger. With
the single exception of sugar the neces-
saries are taxed to the highest bearable
point. and if the people can not pay the
tax they must go without them. The
law is as irrevocable as that of the
ancient Modes and Persians. Germany
has broken down hers AMI permits the
great American porker to stalk in. Score
one for the hog.

FOSTERS

Secretary of the Treasury Foster has
had a rather hard problem to solve dur
ing the last month or so. There were
s~5l,OOO,OOO of Az per cent bonds to be
redeemed the I'd of this month. At no
time since the adjournment of congress
has the national treasury contained that
amount of money. Mr.. Foster knew
something must be done to satisfy the
holders Of the bonds. He proposed and
the proposition met the Endorsement of
several bankers-that holders should
continue them at . per cent interest.
About S23,0OO,OOO of the bonds, it is said.
have been thus continued, leaving S2S,-
100000 to be redeemed in gold. How to
get this gold was a nut which the secre-
tary tried to crack. He cracked it this
way. as told by Bradstreet's:
Heretofore the currency which was
shipped west to move the crops passed
through the hands of express companies
that charged 70 cents per $1,000 for ex-
pressage. Foster prevailed upon west
ern bankers to order their currency
through the ~sub-treasury at New York
at the rate of Is cents per $1,000. The
story there is that the sub-treasury Off
Gals required either gold certificates or
coin from eastern bankers, and while the
gold was retained in New York or for
warded to Washington, legal tenders
were shipped to the west. BY this
shrewd scheme Mr., Foster gathered in
512,OOO,OOO in the yellow metal to apply
to the redemption of the AZ per cents.
His very latest proposition is to extend
the time indefinitely in which holders of
AZ per cents may continue them at .
per cent. AS interest upon the AZ per
cents ceased the I'd inst, the success at
tending his last proposition will soon be
known. But Foster is a shrewd one.

NO BLUNDER COMMITTED.

Several leading eastern democratic
journals are Of the opinion that the Ohio
democrats committed a serious blunder
in putting a free coinage silver plank in
their platform. They contend that as
the republicans invited a contest upon
the tariff issue alone the democrats
should have accepted the challenge and
made a square fight upon it, leaving the
silver question to take care Of itself.
They base their criticism upon the
grounds that the making an issue of sill
yer has exposed the democratic party OF
that state to attacks upon the front and
flank; that while Mckinley is carrying
on the fight for his pet measure, Sher
man is turning on his batteries against
the white metal; that the democrats
must divide their forces for aggressive or
defensive action, and if they prove vic
torious the republicans will not concede
a tariff defeat, whereas if Mckinley be
elected the republicans will claim a vic
tory for his tariff.
There may be some grounds for these
objections, but the TRIBUNE cannot see
that a blunder was committed by the
Ohio democrats in making free silver
coinage an issue. In fact it believes
they acted in the direct line of sound
policy. In the first place the silver
question cannot long remain in allegiance.
The time has come for definite action to
be taken upon it. The question has
been thoroughly discussed in and out of
congress. Gold bug theorists have long
since seen their favorite argument, that
the circulation of silver with gold would
drive the latter out of the country, re-
futed by facts which have entered in the
political history of the country. The
mass of the people are prepared to vote
intelligently upon the question, and
those of Ohio are not an exception. In
the second place the farmers alliances of
Ohio favor free silver coinage. and while
their vote may not be cast for Governor
Campbell, it will not be given to McKin-
ley and his anti silver platform. In max
ing silver an issue republican silverites
will be driven from their party unless
they choose to stultify themselves by
voting with it.. They will hardly do the
latter. For these reason it would ap-
pear that Ohio democrats have nothing
to fear through the silver plank in their
platform.
