"The Homestead" in connection with It's
figures by towns for New-England States, re-
marks that the rise in average prices is exceed
ingly significant because of the increase in pro-
duction and adds
This Is a return to the reasonably profitable prices
that prevailed prior to 1850. since which tine ;he
competition Of Sumatra leaf Knocked tho bottom out
of prices and profits This bottom seems to be re-
stored by the action OF the Tariff. which in the
Judgment OF the buyers ard dealers (who are oacKh'
ND their opinion by heavy purchases OF the new crop al
advanced prces) is destined to restore the American
market for our own American grown leaf. If the
sumatra leaf continues TO be practically excluded "Thc
Homestead" expects to see prices range much higher
than last year for good quality tobacco.
IL was this essential part Of the lntorma-
ton, showing the advance in price with the
cause, which various papers of Free-Irade opln-
ion were careful not to place before their read
ers. The difference in price is worth to the
tobacco growers several millions in the States
mentioned, and the gain has been relatively as
great in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where
the farmers are well aware to what cause they
owe the return to satisfactory prices The at
tempt to suppress the facts will not deceive them
in the least, but Free Trade organs appear afraid
in these days to admit that the hated Mckinley
Tariff is accomplishing for the people just what
it was intended to accomplish.
1t would be wiser for them to tell the truth
Dispatches which appear even in the most care
fully expurgated editions of Free-Trade organs
give from time to time facts which tell what
the new tariff is doing. Thus it is not long
since a millionaire tobacco planter from Sumatra
was denouncing the new tariff because it had
cost him and other employers of cooie labor
many millions, and he declared that American
labor was paid too well. But he admitted that
he would have to come to this country and
establish plantation, and TO employ American
labor here at higher wages, and his wrath at
the Mckinley bill could net fail to have i'm
pressed readers with an appreciation Of It's
benefits to the tobacco growers of this country.
This is only one of many duties which were
intended to insure for agriculture fair share
of protection against injurious foreign oompeti-
ton. The producers of barley know how their
prices have been advanced, and the producers
of vegetables and eggs for seaboard markets
realize the enormous advantage Of being pro-
tected this year against competition which
had rendered many Eastern farms improbable.
No inconsiderable part Of the magnificent pros
perity which American farmers are to enjoy
It's year has been secured to them by the new
tariff which demagogues have so unscrupulOusly
misrepresented.

ORR PORK IN SOUTHERN EUROPE.

In dealing with the matter of the entry Of
American meat products into European coun-
tries the Administration will observe of course,
fair degree Of patience and consideration.
At the same time, it is desirable that the posi-
ton of the United States should be clearly
understood We do not ask anybody to buy
American pork who doesn't want it, We are
not resenting any lack of appreciation on the
part Of European consumers OF sailed meats.
Nor are we Directing to tariffs. 1t is conceded
that any foreign nation which wishes TO foster
its own pork industry has perfect right to do
so. Our complaint is against unjust discrim-
ination. We object to the libel that our meat
exports are unhealthfu, and the law passed by
our last Congress is to be interpreted as a
notice that, being prepared to offer every rea-
sonable proof and guarantee that they are safe
and good, we must look upon the continued
prohibition of entry on alleged sanitary grounds
as an act Of unfriendlinesS.
The terms of this law are direct and drastic.
After providing system Of meat inspection to
which all shipments for export must submit, the
President is empowered, whenever in his iudg-
ment Il foreign nation is unjustly discriminating
against any American product, to direct the
exclusion from our ports Of such products Of
such foreign nation as he may deem proper.

HOW T0BACCO-GRogERS GAIN. 60

When the facts demonstrate the efficacy OF
Protection some Free-Trade papers carefully
supnress them. The census of the tobacco crop,
which was published by 1.-THE New-England
Homestead" on September 5, was extensively
noticed by newspapers as embracing news OF
general interest but Free-Trade journals we're
particular to omit the facts showing the enOr-
nous increase in demand and price for leaf
tobacco on account of the new duties on Sumatra
leaf. 1.-THE Homestead's'' summary showed
that the new crop is 10 per cent larger than
that of 1890, and % per cent larger than
that of 1889, and yet it commands much higher
prices. The production in cases and the aver
age price for certain of the States are thus
shown:

As was to be expected, Secretary Proctor has
expressed his intention to accept his appoint

Senator Edmunds. In all probability this means
that he will also be the choice of the Vermont

of recognizing a good man when it finds him.

The decision by the Congo Free State 30 abolish
from January 1 next the present almost prohibi-
tive duties on the sale of spirits along the
Lower Congo will be deeply regretted by all
who have the progress and enlightenment of the
Dark Continent at heart The governing body
of the Congo Free State declares that it established
these duties on the understanding that the other
European Powers concerned would unite with it
in endeavorng to check the liquor traffic in Africa
but that inasmuch as its anticrpations in this
direction have not been fulfilled, it does not pro-
pose any longer TO pursue policy which, al
though humanitarian, deprives it Of the revenue Of
the liquor trade In short, it announces that
it prefers to sacrifice its scruples to temporary
gain.

The Snking-Fund Commissioners complain
bitterly about the delay in the work upon the
new Criminal Courts Building. There has been
trouble in getting granite, and there is no APP
parent likelihood of immediate relief from this
yexatous obstacle to progress If the building
Is not under roof by winter the work will neces-
sarily be prolonged still further. Meanwhile
there is an increasing demand for more room
for the criminal courts. One cannot but wonder
why city officials in securing the execution of
contracts are so far less successful than men
who have no axes to grind by favoring vote
getters.
