The Judge on tho Stu alton.

CHICAGO, November 12.-Speaking of tho
result of the election, Judge Gresham said |:
democratic victory does not mean free
trade. It means reduction without an en-
tire loss Of the protection theory. To run
the government OF the United States requires
large sums of money. The keeping up of
the various civil departments, the army and
navy, public improvements ana the payment
of pensions requires an expenditure of about
$500, $1,000 a year. This must be raised,
and the tariff il the only practical way in
which to secure this sum. In securing the
money needed for the expenses of the gov
eminent protection can be given to indus
tries that need protecting. This should not
exceed the difference in the cost between the
foreign countries and the United States.
Say, for example, the manufacture of q Ger
tain article costs Is per cent. more in the
United States than in England. The tariff
on that article should not exceed the Is per
cent difference in the cost of manufacture.
When there 10 greater difference in tho
tariff the manufacturers in this country have
the power to form pool, trust, and force
the price above the real value as designated
by cost of production. Raw materials should
be admitted free of duty, In my opinion.
When tax 10 levied on raw material tbs
cost of its manufacture into the completed
article in this country is increased in just
that amount and competition in foreign
markets is denied the home manufacturer.
Can q manufacturer of wooden goods pay
duty on raw wool and then compete in tho
markets of the world with the manufacturer
who gets his wool free of duty? Think not"

NV YoRx, November AR G. Dun d
Cas- Weekly Review Of Trade says:
The presidential election has interrupted
business to some extent In all parts Of tho
country during the past week. but by NO
means as much . usual, ana at nearly al
points the volume of trade has been fairly
maintained, and the unprecedented activity
of the industries has only been interrupted
By the election holiday. The money mar
kets have not been disturbed, though . week
ago it was somewhat closer at several points.
and the foreign necessities and scarcity of
commercial bills have caused some decline
in foreign exchange. The government crop
report indicate smaller yields than was ex-
pected-of wheat only sou, 00O, 900 buehels;
of corn only 1,6O0. OOO, 600 bushels, and de-
cidedly small yield of cotton. Wheat il
stronger than q week ago: with no great
ing in either. Cotton has risen over half q
cent, with sales of over 485, 200 bales on
Thursday, alone exceeding by 10000 bales
the largest previous record for any day.
The output of pig iron November ! was
III, O62 tons weekly, an increase o. l3O66
tons during the month of October. The de-
iveries of rails for the year were small,
probably not over 1,25O,OCO tons. Bar iron
was active, owing to car building, but plates
were quiet and new orders for structural
work are scarce. It has been the dullest
ever known for anthracite and the Reading
finds its terminals crowded, though only work
ing three days in the week. The bituminous
trade has been active and increasing. Bust
ness IN dry goods is dull. Wool is active.
Many shoe factories will require their full
capacity till after Christmas to ELL their
orders.

declined with some selling on Wednesday,
but were strong with covering of shorts

To Keep Out Immigrants.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 12.-In view
of the still lingering possibility of fresh
outbreak of cholera in European countries
in early spring and consequent danger of its
introduction into the United States, the Off
Gals of the treasury department have de-
cided to use the utmost vigilance in guard
ing our ports against entrances of people or
that might possibly contain
germs of cholera.
To this end immigration will be generally
discouraged, and provisions of the presi-
dents proclamation of September l, lmpos-
ing quarantine of twenty days on all sus-
pected immigrants, will be vigorously en-
forced.

Rotary of State Foster attributes the republi-
can defeat to the tariff issue. The party, he
says, challenged the judgment of the country
on the Mckinley bill and the verdict of the
people is that different policy shall be
adopted. Other questions were offered in the
contest. bnt not to such an extent as to ma
terially affect the result. Nor would it have
been different if the other candidates had
been selected, or other leaders managed the
campaign. No administration ever went be-
fore the country with cleaner record. It is
the policy. not the personnel, of the admin
istratlon that has been condemned"
In this view of the matter Secretary Fos-
