Secretary Carlisle Stretches the Law to
Squelch American Interests.
The attitude of our secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, in desiring to &C.
commodate the foreign manufacturers
and the importers Of foreign goods is
quite in keeping with the free trade pol
icy Of his party. We're it otherwise we
should be surprised at reading the fol-
lowing extract from recent Washing
ton dispatch:
*'Secrerary Carlisleis especially anx-
tOus to find some law Of construction by
which he can admit goods which under
the present law are dutiable and are
now in bond, but which become free
under the new tariff law, into the Unit
ed States free Of duty without subject
ing the owners to- the expense of export
Ing them and then reinporting them.
It is very evident that the German
tariff bill did not authorize what Secre-
tary Carlisle has since permitted. Had
B the new law been explicit in SO doing
there would have been no occasion for
the secretary of the treasury to be ''es-
pecially anxious to oblige his foreign
friends. An honest man would not have
sought a quibble or subterfuge to
evade the law. A true American would
have executed the law as he found it
and would have been glad of the oppor-
tunity that served to benefit Americans
by prolonging the chance for the en-
ployment of American labor in the
manufacture of American goods
The public prominence that has SO re-
peatedly been given to this Democratic
officials inordinate desire to save few
dollars for foreign manufacturers, while
at the same time wrestling q few dol
lars from the unfortunate American
wage earners, is inferential proof that
the exact reading of the law has not
been put into execution. 1t was un-
doubtedly the original intention Of the
free traders to grant to foreign manu-
facturers the special privilege that the
treasury official has gone out Of his way
to yield. But through one Of it's many
inal intention Of the bill was defeat:
ed, and meddlesome official has trans
acted very dirty piece of business
His action should be tested in court of
law:
| "a Prominent Intellectual Part"
! They are rehearsing Mr.. Hoyt's new
| play, "A Black Sheep" at the Madison
Square theater, New York. A lively young
miss, who was engaged and was promised
prominent intellectual part in the play,
| got ner lines and took them home to study
! them.
The next day, with her hair awry and
her cheeks blazing, she sought Mr.. Hoyt
| In his sanctum.
II thought you promised me a 'promi-
nent intellectual part!' said the young
woman to the playwright
'Well,' said Mr.. Hoyt, arching his eye
brows interrogatively, ''that's what you We
got. y .~.... ..:
cob, it is!'' said the young woman,
| trying to be sarcastic. ''Just read this. -
| Then she pointed to her part. ''On such
and such a line you come in.'' ''After this
line by such and such a ono, you go off. !"
Where is the prominent intellectual
part about this?' she said in wearied
| tones. =. ~:
':Why, my DEAR said Mr.. Hoyt placat-
! ingly, that's the best thinking part In
the whole play. know, because wrote
it myself Then he fed the apartment
Strangely enough, the young woman has
| not yet resigned.
