BRITIsn FOREIGN TRADE.

The London Globe comments at some
length ON the falling off in British foreign
trade. The Mckinley tariff, the Globe
admits, is working more harm to British
commerce than was anticipated. A sig
nificant item is the falling off in the imports
of raw cotton. AS England imports all the
raw cotton her manufacturers find a sale for
in the form Of finished goods. the conclu-
sion is that the foreign demand is falling off.
The broad result, as the Globe says, is that
their foreign customers supply their require
ments elsewhere. A good many of these
foreign customers resided in the United
States, and are now supplying their require
ments from domestic manufacturers. If the
British are not able to buy so much of our
breadstuffs as formerly, in consequence of
their loss of American customers, our
farmers must remember that a larger guam
tity is consumed at home. England is now
confronted with condition rather than
with theory. England can only retain her
foreign trade by cheapness of production.
When foreign markets are considered, one
of the elements is cost in. the duties that
have to be paid to get British goods into
those markets. If the American duties on
steel, on cotton and wooden goods, and other
articles that England manufactures for ex-
port should be reduced, the cost Of placing
such goods Oh the American market would
be lessened. On the proposition that it is
losing business to export raw cotton and i'm
port finished cotton goods. there can be but
one opinion. Ii we IA make the finished

The Finance Committee of the Board of Super

A PATIENT PEOPLE.

a city morning newspaper of Saturday
publishes the following editorial remarks,
which we suppose are true:
The TranscoRiinental Association has with
drawn its opposition to the proposed action OF
the Northern Pacific reducing the rate for ma
line structural iron TO so cents per 100 pounds
from Pittsburg to Tacoma. The rate from Fits
burg to San Francisco is 81 25 per 100 pounds,
but II Is not likely that The Southern Pacihe Will
entfeat the TranseOntlne1ial Association TO per
init a reduction TO the same amount that the Ia
cOmans enjoy. The movement Of the Northern
Pacific may have no serious consequences, but il
a ship building industry is started there at the
expense OF San Francisco the people viii know
to who they are Indebted for the disadvantage
under which they labor.
An evening city newspaper of Friday, the
day previous publishes the following, also
as editorial:
a large number OF prominent firms have signed
the call for a meeting to organize Traffic Asso-
ciauOn. IT is proposed 10 hold the meeting In
this city on the 18th inst. 1t is expected that
ship ers aud merchants from the interior will be
present in force. The object OF the meeting is
10 secure better rates from the TranscoBtlnental
Association. That association now embraces
all Tie land routes by which freight can be con-
yeyed across the continent, the sea route by
Panama, and II is said the long route around the
Horn, though II Is possible the last-named link

4 few years ago no Californian would have
thought it possible that California railroad
organization could have carried out such a
gigantic arrangement as it seems to have
perfected. Even the Canadian Pacific Rail-

Steamship Company, appears to be con-
trOlled by the same organization. or late it
is said. also, that sailing vessels which leave
New York direct for San Francisco place

MIA organization. With every means of
communication with the East cut off, except
by way Of England, is il surprising that bust

THE NEW PosTOFFICE SITE.

The facts contained in the following COM
munication are correct, but the motive
which actuated the Washington authorities
in making the selection is, of course, mat
ter for conjecture. Possibly Mr.. Wana-
maker. whose Judgment in the matter was
:he main reliance of the contracting parties,
was ignorant Of the facts herein stated:

about the selected size there Is no reference to
one or two features 10 it which, in public view,

can only be made through the railroad cabie-car

extended any distance south or east fIom il with

be noted that the chief reason adduced In Mr..

The Youths Directory Festival of One

The fnal arrangements for the Youths
Directory Festival have been completed
and the affair promises to be the event Of
events among the philanthropists. The
occasion is one that commends itself to the
best promptings of the human heart and
calls for a general unloosing of purse
strings, for the well-being of destitute
youths in the care of the directory for the
ensuing year depends very much upon the
success Of the effort of these few days.
Among those most interested in the well
fare of these youths is James r. Kelly,
Chairman OF the committee, and he has
worked day after day in the management of
the subcommittee, and even raised nearly
$1,000 by popular subscriptions solicited
among the insurance men and bankers.
The festival will open at the Pavilion on
Monday and continue during the week,
with attractions as numerous as well
as they are unique and interesting.
The festival will be in progress day and
night during the week.
The booths in the Pavilion used by the

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Germany's removal of the embargo on Amer
lean pork is likely 10 be followed by an agree
ment allowing the free entry OF certain American
agricultural products in return for the continued
free entry into this country OF German beet sugar.
The President was authorized by tile Mckinley
tariff TO restore the duties upon certain articles
coming from certain countries at any time after
January l, 1892 if In his opinion those countries
uniusty Disseminated In their tariff rates
against The products of The United States. Thus
the President authorized. II he saw fit, to
restore the duty on German beet sugar after JAN
uary l, 1892. When the removal of the lork
restrictions took place the German Minister 1t Is
unde rstood, endeavOred TO obtain an assurance as
to the permlnency OF The free-sugar privilege, but
the President claimed the embargo upon pork
was an injustice and that its dlScQntInuaDce did
