AUSTRALIAN DISASTERS.

The financial disasters in Australia have
startled the world by their magnitude On
Monday, when it was hoped in London that the
worst was over, there came three more bank
failures, including one of the largest concerns
in Australia, with over $50, 100000 deposits
The amount of colonial and British deposits has
not in all cases been separately stated, but the
aggregate deposits of fifteen banks Of which
figures have been given in the dispatches ex
ceeded Si11,S0S,7G0 last December, and Of
this amount S10G, 900 was due to deposi
tors in Great Britain from twelve of the banks
while probably $40, zoo, 900 more was due from
the other three, whose aggregate deposits were
&c., OOO, 900. As the aggregate deposits from
England in all Australian banks last year were
S215, 900, it appears that considerably
more than half the amount is involved in the
failures already reported. In comparison with
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1893-05-18

such a disaster the failure of any one house,
even the Earrings. seems of small Importance.
The failure of these fifteen institutions real!
means the stoppage and Gripping OF hundreds.
For nearly every one of the banks was IN iac'

that the aggregate liabilities to depnsltorS alone
were over Sil1 900. 900, therefore, only family
reprc,ent, the tremendous shock to industries
and busincss which must have occurred.
American finances will be affected chiefly
through the pressure which such tremendous
losses must cause in Great Britain, and the re-
sultinc sales Of American securities and With
drawals of loans or investments here. But 1t
is also probable that another effect may be felt
at no distant day through the inability OF Aus
tralian sheep growers to obtain expected ac-
communications and to carry on their business IN
the usual way. 1t is not easy - foresee how
the price of wool may be affected. Possibly
prices may at first be much depressed by forced
sales. and perhaps afttrward advanced by cur
tamcnt of production. But the Australian
supply has become important II the whole
world that the financial collapse in that country
can hardly fail to influence the wool trade and
the wool manuia ,turing industry strongly and
extensively.

How these three Democratic factions stand in

Iaroc that it can afford to face the hostility OF

Mckinley tariff and substitute Democratic
moosu,e would be a Republican victory of the
greatest Importance, and for that reason the
no,nocr,tic factions will get together if they
can. But Mr. Wilson Will need remarkable

THE PLANS OF THE "EEFORMERS.'

The festive and froicsome Mr.. Springer
whose faculty for manufacturing statistics can
never be sufficiently admired and whose idea
of tariff reform was to punch holes in the ex-
istng tariff. is not to be chairman Of the Com
mttec of Ways and Means again. Apparently
by authority, il is announced that Nlr. Crisp,
whose election as Speaker is now conceded, will
appoint to that place Mr. Wilson, of West
Virginia, being convinced that as leader Of the
House and chairman of its most important com
mittec Mr.. Springer was not a success. Candor
compels the admission that Mr.. Crisp is quite
correct in that opinion. Mr.. Springer only sue
ceedcd in making tariff reform ridiculous. But
il remains to be seen whether Mr.. Wilson will
do better.
Ii is admitted that he has not the personal
yigor nor readiness as debafer to manage
successfully an important bill in the House
The work on the floor, it is stated will have to
be intrusted to others, who have not Mr.. Will
sons presumably superior knowledge of the
question, and who will lack, at all events, his
laboriOus preparation as chairman Of the com
mttee for meeting difficulties about details
How far a bill will advance against sharp and
determined opposition, with one man to do the
thinking and some others to do the talking, is
rather doubtful. But Mr.. Wilson is jealous
and rather extreme reformcr," and it may bo
expected that he will try hard to get through
Congress consistent and radical change of
tariff.
His difficulty will not be with men like the
late chairman. Doubtless Mr.. Springer will
Loyalty help so far as he can to carry through
the House any tariff which the committee may
report. The men who have made tariff reform
their principal stock in trade, and have told the
dear people that they were plundered beyond
endurance by the present tariff, must feel that
the failure of Democratic Congress to pass
radical revision of the tariff would be to them
fatal blow. 1t may be taken for granted that
they will care infinitely more to have some bill
passed. to which they can point as "a measure

rendition that there was a controversy be-
tween the Spanish Foreign Oflicc and our own
concerning the character Of the hospitality
which should be extended 70 the Princess of

controversy had arisen by the dispatches which

There can be no doubt Of this. She will have

improves the opportunity to remark that the
structure towers ipsolenty above its fellow State
buildings" Why insolently? Is not this an era

phasize tho fact as it was emphasized before
that Peace hath her victories NJ less renowned

one Of the English Journalists just return ID
from the Chicago Exposition, analysing the state
ment that the prosperous conditions he witnessed
wer,. due 10 protective tariffs. says II must liz
then that the farmer by giving more Of HE
produce than he needed for every article OF native
manufacture was the CrOcsus by whose wealth
Chicago was erected. The theory IL not origi-
nal nor the sarcasm fresh. More than sixty years
ago Mr. McDufir Of South Carolina presented
with great plausibllity the argument that import
duties fall exclusively upon the original pro-
duccrs Of the exports given in exchange for the
imported commodities. Our exports at that time
being principally cotton, rice and tobacco, he con-
tended that by the operation Of the tarllr the
Southern planters practically paid the whole tax
levied by import duties. II is very pretty theory,
but the hard facts Of one sort and another which
il has run up against during these SIXTY years
have battered 1t into innocuous dssuctude.
