The GAZETTE is now the Old

few exceptions the Oldest in

has been demonstrated and ap-
preciated for nearly a century

been found q mirror of passing

been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the

become invaluable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it
is SO close to ashington, the

every part Of the world hence
its patrons can read from its
columns in the evening what
has transpired that day in ev-
cry portion Of the United States

quently it is an everyday oc
currence for the GAZETTE to-
publish kilograms from the va
rious European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier
than the morning papers.
Correspondence from Wash
inoton, Richmond and every
section Of Virginia is published
regularly and all events of in

desideratum with merchants is
its afternoon Market Reports

A NOTABLE REPORT.

The report of the Republican minority
Of the committee on ways and means on
the Wilson bill is so able and so candid a
statement of the grounds of opposition that
1t should be read and studied. The general
Introduction by ex-Speaker Reed is a mas
terly production. He not only exposes the
weakness and the inconsistency OF the Will
son bill, but defends the doctrine of pro-
lection with arguments which cannot be
gainsaid by opponents who demand the
right to buy in the cheapest markets as
an inalienable privilege. Mr.. Reed bases
his championship upon the higher claims
Of civilization. compared with which the
question Of prices sinks into insignifcance
The protective tariff stands between the
higher civilization of the American wage
Garner and the lower grade of the foreign
laborer. Take away protection, and foreign
capital can secure the same machinery and
it then becomes a contest between labor
To place the well-paid, welI-fed, better
clothed and more intelligent wage Garner
of America in competition with the poorly
fed and clothed and less intelligent work
ingman abroad is to compel the former to
work for the same wages as the latter, and
to subject a higher and costlier civilization
to overwhelming defeat by the latter To
preserve the mass of productive labor in
a country from such degradation is the
highest duty of craftsmanship. When it is
considered that. under existing conditions.
free competition will not elevate labor in
Europe, to prevent it is the highest duty
that a sense of obligation to mankind can
suggest. 1t is upon this high vantage
ground that, with rare cogency, Mr.. Reed
champions protection.
Mr.. Reed speaks for the mass of Repub-
licans when he expresses the desire to de-
feat the Wilson bill, even If the Republican
organization should not receive the advan-
tage it would if it became law. The con-
ditions are too serious. the distress too
keen and general, and the danger too great
to consider party advantage a moment
when the defeat of the Wilson bill will turn
back the tide of danger and distress The
Republican party is not opposing the Will
son bill as a matter of mere political ex-
pediency but because the great bulk of its
members are profoundly convinced that it
involves grave disaster to the best inter-
ests of the American people.
The Journal commends the report of the
Republican minority to the careful study
of all those who are interested in the great
issue which involves such grave conse-
quences.

OUR EXPORTS AND IMPORTS OF GOLD

Secretary Carlisle could not resist the
temptation to try and make a political point
out of the fact that more gold coin was
exported during the last three months of
President Harrisons administration than
during the first eight months of Mr.. Cleve-
next preceding the eth day of March, 1898,
when a change occurred in the administra-
ton of the Treasury Department. the with
drawals of gold from the treasury for ex-
port amounted to $3i146.OOO. and during the
eight months which have elapsed since that
time such Withdrawals have amounted to
preceding period of three months 1t does
not seem to have occurred to Mr.. Carlisle
that the three months of Harrison's admin
istratlon to which he refers were immedi-
ately following the election of Mr.. Cleve-
land There was no alarming depletion of
gold prior TO the election. 1t was the Dem
apprehension of mischievous legislation on
the tariff and currency questions that started
the financial panic. one of the first Fremont
tory symptoms of which was the exporta-
ton OF gold II Mr.. Carlisle had wanted
to make "A fair comparison he should have
compared the exports Of gold during the
eleven months preceding and the eleven
months following the presidential election.
In another part of his report he presents
other figures which, without any comment
on his part, show the real state OF facts.
In discussing our foreign commerce he
shows that, during the fiscal year from
July 1, 1891. TO July 1. 1892. our exports OF
gold amounted to s5O.1s5.327 and our imports
to $9699. 45i, the balance against us beinS

balance against us being sS7509. 1853. 1t is
useless for Mr.. Carlisle or anybody else to
try to conceal the fact that so far as the
finances and commerce of the country are
concerned. the first year Of the Cleveland
administration has been the most disastrous

VAIN APPEAL FOR ECONOMY.

The report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury urges Congress to adopt a policy of
strict economy. 'It is scarcely necessary
to suggest TO Congress in this connection"
says the Secretary. that the present and
prospective condition of the treasury and
the general state Of the country demand a
policy OF the strictest economy in public
expenditures consistent with an efficient
administration OF the laws" There is
abundant reason for this recommendation.
No treasury report within the present gen
Grafton has made as discouraging an ex-
hibit of national finances. This assertion
is not made with a view to partisan effect.
The situation portrayed by Mr.. Carlisle is
bad enough without any attempt at exag-
geration or distortion. II shows that dur
ing the first five months OF the present
fiscal year. that is. from July l TO Dec. I.
1888. the expenditures of the government
have exceeded it's receipts by S299ls.0g5.

Inter Ocean (Rep.)
The injustice of this scheme (the income
tax is so fragrant that it ought to encoun-
ter opposition in the ranks of Democrats.
1t is indefensible from any point of view.

the necessity of making up for the def

add but an Insignificant sum to the reve-

Rep)
Secretary Carlisle's report furnishes
strong reasons, additional to and in en-
phasis of those which have of late been
offered in the Enquirer, why Congress
should take the tariff under careful con-
sideration. A better arrangement and adj
justment of the duties may be made. but
we must have as much revenue from GUS
toms in the future as we have now or
else impose a tax more odious than tariff.
Cincinnati Enquirer Oem)
Republican extravaganza has brought us
to treasury deficiency. To tide over the
period which intervenes between the adop-
ton of a reformed tariff and the inflow of
the greater revenue that will come from
enlarged trade Secretary Carlisle recon-
mends the issue of bonds. Wealth should
be willing to lend a hand. Our national
thrift and good sense revolt at the propo-
sition of issuing bonds after a quarter of
a century of unbroken peace. Better try
the income taX.-St. Louis Republic Dem)
Secretary Carlisles report embraces two
parts of widely different merit. The part
relating to tariff and taxation is eminently
calculated to increase public apprehension,
is surcharged with free-trade theories and
prejudices, and does not bear the test OF
comparison with facts. But that part re-
lating to national finances and currency
and to economy in expenses is In the main
conservative, distinct in statement, except
ing as to the coinage of the seigniorage,
is likely to strengthen the public conf
dence.-Chicago Tribune (Rep.)
