OUR INCREASING IMPORTS.

The fact that imports have increased
under the Mckinley tariff inspires some Of
the free-traders to ascribe to it results diff
terent from those it was designed TO pro-
duce. The fact Of an increase in i'm
ports is cited as evidence that protection
does not protect. 1t appears, however,
from an examination of the report that the
increase Is almost entirely on articles the
MCKINLEY bill placed on the free list. The
Imports OF wo0len goods are smaller for the
last year than the year Immediately pre-
cedPg. The same is true of the manu-
factures Of iron, including tin plates. There
Is decrease also in glass and glassware
There Is an Increase in the imports of silk
goods, but a corresponding increase In the
domestic manufacture. The people are
buying more silk goods than formerly This
is one Of the results of good wages. A
large proportion of the people are able to
purchase Injuries.
But there was an increase of $4,000, 600
for February, of which So, 1900 was on
nou-dGtiable goods. The increase in duti-
able goods-S2, ,000 000-is found in silk, kid
gloves, chemicals, precious stones, potatoes.
tobacco and rice. The increase in non
dutable goods is largely on sugar. The
value OF coffee has increased without an in
crease in the amount imported. An advance
in price of other articles than coffee ac-
counts for considerable part of the in
crease.
If the Mckinley tariff did not protect
home manufactures, there would be a pro-
pOitionate increase in such articles as we

ATLANTIC GREYHOuNDs.

The CamDsnia, the new steamer of the
Cunard Company, has realized on her trial
trips more than the speed which the build
ers guaranteed. She was to steam at least
twenty-One knots per hour. or one knot
faster as an average than the Paris or
Teutonic, and has actually made twenty
three and half knots, which is equivalent
to twenty-seven land miles. This makes it
certain that her regular voyages between
Queenstown and New York will be per-
formed in five days and half. perhaps less,
constituting a gain of one day over the
speed of any other steamer afoat. Before
tile lst of May this steamer will be engaged
in tile passenger trade across the Atlantic,

PAVING THE WAY.

The Examiner is evidently paving the
way for a non-enforcement OF the Geary
act. Its method is TO show that the act
ought not TO be executed. BY means of
communications which may or may rot be
written in the Examiner Office it strives TO
convince the public that the Chinese are
eminently desirable people and should
rather be encouraged TO come to the United
States than be driven away. This is not the
first pro-Chinese break the Examiner has
made, but the penalty for the first was so
heavy that q second was not anticipated.
Our contemporary seems TO forget that the
character of the Chinese in their native
country is not the matter in issue. The
United States has TO deal with the Chinese
who are here and who are coming here If
they can beat the exclusion law. We find
these people an undesirable part Of our pop
UIation. The conditions under which they
labor are such that white laborers cannot
compete with them. Their presence IN the
State has kept out tens of thousands of
white laborers and caused other tens Of
thousands to return to the East. A work
ingman, they say, has no show in a State
where he has Chinese competition.
II is reasonably apparent that the admin
istration has surrendered to the Chiuese.
Now that there is no Presidential election
in sight Mr.. Cleveland may indulge in the
luxury of doing as he pleases. The admin
istration has, according to the Examiners s
Washington correspondent, reprimandod the
Collector OF Internal Revenue for this dis
tIict for announcing that the law would be
enforced. The Collector had the temerity
TO assume that the administration would
enforce the law, and for that assumption he
was rebuked pending removal. The Chinese
are not registering in this city, and the con-
clusion is that they have got tip from
Washington to the effect that no serious
consequence will result from a refusal to
obey the law.
The morning call., 1893-04-18
UNDER ERE.

There has always been some doubt Of the
constitutional power Of the President to
supersede the regularly appointed United
States Minister to the Hawaiian Islands
with a special envoy. The Minister who
had been confirmed by the Senate was made
subordinate to a commissioner or envoy
who had Only sucn authority as the PTesi-
dent could give him. The Senate was in
session at the time, but the nomination Of
the special envoy was not sent TO that body.
If the President could do this thing it may
be asked what lie cannot do? Are all our
newly made ambassadors and our old-made
Ministers open TO covert attacks Of the
same character? The Government OF the
United States is perpetual. Administra-
ti0Hs come and go. The acts of one admin
istTati0n are binding upon its successor IN
Ill repealed. But the President cannot re-
peal a law. Neither should he be permitted
to reverse q policy entered upon with the
cooperation Of the law-making power with
out the consent Of the law-making power.
At first it was supposed that Mr.. Blount
was q kind Of confidential agent of the Pres
ident sent out to gather information. No
one supposed that lie could do more than
report and recommend. When the news
came t5at he had ordered the American flag
hauled down, it was the act quite as much
as the nature of the act that caused sur
prise. From what source did this citizen Of
Georgia obtain :he power 10 reverse the pol
icy OF regularly appointed United States
Minister?
Senator Sherman Is said to have reached
the conclusion that the action of the Presi-
dent in investing Mr. Blount with authority
TO supersede the American Minister at
Hawaii is unconstitutional. Whether or
not it comes within the plain line Of un-
constitutional acts, which aIe punished
W IN impeachment, it is certainly an extra
ordinary exercise Of power.
