A RETALIATION POLICY.


Hurtful Effects Of The Mckinley Bill -
American Iuterests
President Harrison issued proclama-
tions LAYING retaliatory duties on GER
tain products of Venezuela. Colombia
and Hayti. as provided by the McKin-
ley act, because those countries refused
to make such reciprocity dickers as he
deemed satisfactory. 1t was soon per-
ccived that these retaliatory duties were
at least as hurtfal to American inter-
ests as they were to the interests of the
countries against which they were di-
rccted.
This result which economists had
foresecn. was well known to the new
admins tration. and il was understood
that the retaliatory proclamations
would be promptly rescinded. The
statement was made in March that the
president was strongly inclined either
to rescind the proclamations or TO aban-
don the entire reciprocity business and
treat all countries alike. But for vari-
Gus reasons ne decided to postpone ac-
ton. For one thing, there was a possi-
bility, Mt least, that the Withdrawal of
the proclamations might call forth
strong protests and even rctaliatory
measures from some of the countries
with which reciprocity dickers had
been made. and it was deemed advisa-
BILE not to cause unnecessary irritation.
But a more potent consideration was
the fact that congress was expected
soon to revise the whole tariff system
and adopt a new policy with respect .
our foreign trade relations As that
was the case, il was deemed advisa bic
not to make a change by executive ac-
tion which might o be followed by
another change by Legislative action
According TO a Washington dispatch,
there has of late been a special reason
revenue must be raised from some
source II may be raised in part by
means of q duty on sugar. 1t would
look like a very fckle policy to abolish
the duty imposed by the retaliatory
proclamations and soon after reimpose

A CRYING NEED.

Additional burdens Imposed by the FRO
lection system.
Western and southern staple pro
more than now A tariff for revenue is
equivalent To a reduced cost of trans
p~ortation both ways Every farmer
knows what reduced transportation
charges do for the Of crops
and the purchase Of goods
Farm debts never pressed more heav-
lily and farm profits were never more
unsatisfactory. Wheat prices drag.
Cotton is no better. and the big pack
ing houses have claimed that they must
cut down expenses. These are the
three great sources of our export trade.
For seventy years the tariff question
has been the same-how much the sta
pie producers could I've charged for the
support of government and the main
tenance of certain lines of manufac-
ture. Not only how much actual money
they should pay. but how much ~restric-
ton of trade they could stand.
Radical additions to taxation and re-
striction have been made without
notice TO the staple producers The i'm
position of new burdens in 1883 and
1890 was made when all the pledges
out were for reduction.
In spite of that habitual treatment
the agricultural states do not ask for
an immediate blotting out Of all pro
lection. Their expectation is that .
democratic ways and means committee
will present a bill whose guiding pur.
pose will be the encouragement of trade
and production. The raising Of reve-
nue. necessitates some protection as
long as we have a tariff of any kind.
We can stand hat much protection.
and not a great deal more.
1t has always been the case hereto
fore. when a tariff bill is in course of
preparation, that the country hears a
great deal about the effect on the pro-
tected industries This time we have
a right TO hear less about that and more
about cheap transportation and the en-
couraging effect on export industries.
When the ways and means commit
tee in its experiments gets TO a bill for
the merchants, farmers, school-teach-
ers, preachers, lawyers, carpenters,
masons and blacksmiths it IAN stop
right there That bill will be good
enough.-St Louis Republic.

the minority says no.. there will be no
tariff legislation Of any importance.
The republican Chicago Tribune states
plainly what will happen: I'm the
course Of time the house. which still
legislates. will send up n bill to repeal
or seriously modify the Mckinley law.
The republican minority will say that
it must not pass" The majority has
decided that il is helpless against min
ing-camp ~selfishness; it will find itself
equally helpless against mill-boss self
ishness. and there will be no tariff re-
form unless the majority finds n wayto

and they are not going TO act upon the
assumption that the senate will concur

that at least two men of standing on
board we're acquainted with the in

knowledge seems to confirm the al
most general belief at the navy de-
partment that Admiral stanton has
some reaso nable explanation to offer
for his Unfortunate action.
The Stan ton incident has called at
tention to the fact that many naval Of
