We repeat what we have said before,
that these are the prices that the for.
eign buyer has to pay for a single article
and the prices which the American
dealer is charged in large lots at the fac
tories. Does anybody suppose that u
manufacturers are selling their wares IN
foreign markets at q loss? Certainly
not. They are getting a reasonable
profit or they would not compete with
European manufacturers for foreign
trade. Now the duty on the articles we
have quoted above is forty-five per cent.
The Helena Journal can figure for it.
self whether the American consumer is
not compelled "to pay for manufactured
articles an extra price, equal to the duty
imposed" Does it doubt the accuracy
of the American Nails market quota
tions? Then let it get a copy Of the ex-
port edition of the Engineering and
Mining Journal, which gives thousands
OF similar quotations. Nor can the
Journal escape with the statement that
the prices we have quoted are excep-
tional. The same disparity between the
home price and the price to foreigners
exists as to thousands-yes, literally
t~housands-of other articles. Nearly
every article used on the farm and
household is sold from 20 to 100 per cent
more to home than to foreign buyers.
Neither patent law. nor middle man,
nor the other excuses trumped up by
hard pressed Mckinley organs can &C.
count for this difference. 1t is a self
evident proposition that if a pillow can
be sold at a profit to a South American
farmer for nine dollars it can be sold to
the farmer in the United States for the
same money, and when the latter is
charged eighteen dollars for the same
article he is robbed, not only to the OK
tent of the 45 per cent duty, but more.
Poor pussy!

NAVAL DEUADENCE.

A recent issue of a Chicago paper is
responsible for a very serious charge
against the officers of our navy. While
it is true that the writer talks of his
subject in a very flppant style, as if he
did not realize the sum and substance
of his allegations, the Observation-Disclosures
that characterizes his view of the cues,
ton does not minimize the gravity OF
his accusations. Especially is this the
case when he casually remarks that fig.
ures support his statements. If it we're
not for this assertion which, however
he does not seek to s~ubstantiate, we
should feel inclined to pass him by as
the author Of a canard unworthy OF
serious attention. But figures are fig.
ures and, if the writer has truth to back
him, he reveals to the American public
a state Of affairs that is not generally
suspected and that is highly discredit.
able to what We have been accustomed
to consider a h~igh-splrited and ambitious
profession.
In effect, the writer declares that oul
naval officers are fighting shy of the
modern m~an-of-war. The sense of nov,
city has worn off, and applications fol-
. appointments from the old sea-dogs are
J few and far between. It is only your
green youngster fresh from a naval col
lege that is anxious to display his "sea-
legs" on the decks of the modern navy.
The older men swear by the wooden
ships, and il peace were assured for the
, next five and twenty years, they would
/ be content to see no others under our
nag. AS for the reasons for this aver

THE New York Recorder, to cheer the
Responding souls of it's republican read
ers, offered a prize of $50 to the best
campaign song, and here is a specimen
verse from the melancholy ditty that
got the award:
So-Fassett, boys! Fassett, boys!
1t is the Empire state
Marching on to victory.
We cannot. cannot wait!
Fassett, boys! Fassett, boys!
November SIS the date,
Fassett, boys! Fassett, boys!
Well win as sure as fate!
And with our Fassett is another
Staunch old soldier, faithful brother,
Tried in battle, always trueman,
The peoples friend, John W. Vrooman.
A cause that could not inspire some
thing better than that must DO hopeless

A gentleman fond of animals had n nat

sion to modern ships, the writer In the
Evening Post has them At his fingers
ends. They are not heroic. They are
not even manly. Our naval officers, II
he is to be believed, are sad dudes.
Their quarters are too cramped, there ~
not room enough in them for their Sar-
atogas, their dressing cases and other
foppish fripperics. There la the chief
objection to the modern warship. But
that terrible charge does not sum up
the total Of the grievance. Our officers
avoid the modern ship for the same rea-
son that the monkey refuses to talk.
They are afraid OF work. They have no
love for the "almost endless amount OF
new-fangled machinery that has to DC
constantly supervised and o%verhanled,'
and prefer inglorious ease to the stirr-
ing duties Of their glorious profession.
Until the writer quotes his figures
and substantiates his charges OF foppery
and ~laziness, the public will prefer to
believe, as they have always done, that
the heart of our navy is in its work.
If there is one class Of men more proud
than another Of the profession it fol-
lows, it is the sailor. The seaman's
pride in his vessel and all that belongs
to her has passed into a proverb. The
traditions Of our navy must have sadly
altered for the worse, if our vessels have
become a %lounging place for effeminate
fellows and idle good-for- nothings. That
is not the temper that won the %sea-tghts
OF our country in the good old days, and
with all due respect for the Chicago
scribe we prefer to believe that in genu-
inc manliness and interest in his pro
fession our American naval officers are
still the compeers Of any on the seas.
