STEEL RAILS.

The opponents of protective tariff have
often asserted that high duties foster trusts
There is just enough of truth in this as
sertion to put advocates of protective
tariff on their guard. The purpose of a
protective tariff is certainly not to foster
trusts. and if such an effect is caused 1t Is
by an unintentioual excess In duties, In
the production of articles the cost of which
is probably decreasing, the necessary duty
Of one year may become excessive another
year. The steel-rail industry furnishes an
example. The duty necessary TO induce
American capital TO invest in this industry
was greater than the cost Of steel rails at
the present time in either Europe or
America. The duties have been reduced
from time to time, and were fixed by the
Mckinley tariff at S13 A per ton. This
duty in the present condition of the trade
is excessive. 1t is more than twice the
difference between the cost of steel rails In
Europe and in America. A duty of Sc, or
even perhaps of So. would answer every
legitimate purpose and would quiet the
apprehension that the purpose of a prOtec-
tive tariff Is to enable home combinations
TO cnarge exorbitant prices for their goods
But the Wilson tariff passes tie safe line
by leyyiug the duty on the ad valore m
plan instead of on the specific. a % per
cent duty al valorem is not equal to a
specific duty Of 25 per cent on the home
valuation of foreign rails. If steel rails
can be manufactured in England for SIT a
ton. the % per cent ad valorem duty would
be levied on that cost. Then the actual
duty would be 81 25. or 81. If the cost
should be reduced to that figure. The
Ways and Means Committee have wisely
changed the duty On tinplate from the ad
valorem basis to the specific. If they will
do the same by steel rails. imposing a duty
of So per ton in place of % per cent of the
foreign cost. there will be no cause to op-
pose this degree of reduction. 1t should
always be borne in mind that the main
purpose of the protective system is to main
tain the American standard OF wages, and
this urDOse is accomplished in the Steel
rail industry by duty of from S5 to Sc on
the importations

alities when facts are wanted Is found in
the eX ression that there can be no re-
versal of a policy based simply on justice
and magnanimiiy." This is all very well.
but the question may arise as to what con-
stitutes justice and magnanimity. People
differ on that point. Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Gresham think that justice requires
the restoration of the deposed Qusen to
the throne. Other men quite as capable of
forming correct opinions are equally cer-
tain that justice will be done by giving the
people of the islands good, honest gov
ernment. Minister Bayard is truly good
man, but is inclined to twaddle. OF all
his talk about Cleveland's policy in re-
spect to the islands, not word applies to
the situation Mr.. Cleveland has created.

Proof of a Roya.ist Conspiracy In Posses

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE government will
soon strike q blow. 1t is reported on e1csl-
lent authority that there is now ample evil
dencs of a ~royalist conspiracy and arrests
will be made at an early date. The oon-
spiraoy has been Matched in London and
Madrid. and the count Of Paris. instead Of
having been especially close in expenditures
for the r~oyolist cause. has been unuaually
lavish. He is not himself managing any Of
the details, and it is not desired that he
should, but his leading representatives are
more active than ever. Royalist influence
and funds nave had much to do with recent
activity in revolutionary circles in Paris.
1t is reported that much of the applause of
extremist speakers at the Tivoli Vauxhall
was furnished by paid royaliat claquers.
The royalist plan appears to be to over
throw the republic by some means, no mat
ter what, and fomsnt and promote disoord
in the hone that the people will turn to the
count of Paris or duke of Orleans for rescue
or pi protection.
