THE TARIFF.
The President Considers the Matter
Not Yet Settled

The President Considers the Matter
Not Yet Settled.
The tariff act passed at the last session of
the congress needs important amendments
If 1t is to be executed effectively and with
certainty. In addition to such necessary
amendments as will change rates of duty
l am still very decidedly in favor of put
ting coal and iron upon the free list.
So far as the sugar schedule is concerned,
/ would be glad under existing aggravations
to see every particle of differential duty in
favor Of refined sugar stricken out Of our
tariff law. If with all the favor now ac-
corded the sugar refining interest in our
tariff laws 1t still languishes to the ex-
tent of closing refineries and 6ischarging
thousands of workmen it would seem to
present hopeless case for reasonable leg
islative aid.
Whatever else is done or omitted / earnest
ly repeat the recommendation made in an
other portion Of this communication that
the additional duty Of one-tenth of a cent
per pound laid upon sugar imported from
countries paying bounty on its export be
abrogated. 1t seems to me that exceedingly
important considerations point to the pro-
prietl of this amendment.
With the advent of new tariff policy not
only calculated to relieve the consumers of
our land in the cost Of their daily life, but
invite a betetr development OF American
thrift and create for us closer and more
profitable commercial relations with the rest
of the world it follows as a logical and i'm
perative necessity that we should at once
remove the chief if not the only obstacle
which has so long prevented our participa-
ton in the foreign carrying trade Of the sea.
A tariff built upon the theory that it is we'll
to check imports and that home market
should bound the industry and efforts OF
American producers was fifty supplemented
by a refusal to allow American registry to
vessels built abroad though owned and
navigated by our people thus exhibiting a
willingness to abandon all contests for the

Ing the notes of the government circulating

eminent to meet, as agreed, its pecuniary
obligations.
1t would have been well if in this emer-
gency authority had existed to issue the
bonds of the government bearing a low rate
of interest and maturing within a short
period, but the congress having failed to
confer such authority resort was necessarily
had to the resumption act OF 1875, and pur-
suant to its provisions bonds were issued
drawing interest at the rate of 5 per cent
their issue, that being the shortest time au-
thorized by the act. am glad to say, how
ever, that on the sale Of these bonds the
premium received operated to reduce the
rate of interest to be paid by the govern
ment to less than 3 per cent.
Nothing could be worse or further re-

govrnment has issued, the gold held for Its

If the claims upon this fund were confined

If the redemption of these obligations mean
their cancellation, the fund would be very
small. But these obligations when received

How the Famous American Beauty

How the Famous American Beauty
Was Discovered by a Gardener.
Here is q pretty interesting story
about the origin of that most beaut-
full Of flowers the American beauty
rose, says the Baltimore Herald. The
late George Bancroft, besides being
historian and scholar, was one of the
first amateur rose growers in America.
Every year he imported cuttings from
the leading flower growers of Europe,
The king Of Prussia, when old Kaiser
William was king, allowed the Ameri-
can historian to have a slip of what
ever he might fancy In the royal con-
servatories. Mr.. Bancroft's gardener
used to cultivate some Of his roses in
an old house away out on. r, or per-
haps it was G street, above Twenty
second street, in the west end of Wash
ington, d. G. > Mrs. Grant had florist
named Field in charge of the White
House conservatory. He was rose
grower of rare merit and skill in his
artistic work. One day he happened
into the old building where Mr. Ban
croft's gardener potted his plants and
budded his roses. Over in the corner
he observed rose of a variety utterly
unknown to him, and Of wonderful size
and perfection in form and color.
Where did this come from?" he care
lessly inquired of his rose-growing con-
frere. 20, 1t Is an offshoot from some
cuttings we imported from Germany, ;"
the man replied. 1t was evident to
Mr.. Field that the other did not in the
least comprehend the value of the new
plant. After some talk Mr.. Field
bought the cuttings he had seen for
49, A" year thereafter, when he had
propagated his new purchase and be-
come convinced that he had new
and very valuable variety Of rose,
which he named the American beauty,
he sold his find for $1,000, the most
wonderful result of the investment Of
So on record. 70 follow his luck lit
tie farther, Mr.. Field invested his easily
earned $4,000 in lands near Washing
ton, which in a little less than three
years he sold for $4,000. Truth is
sometimes stranger than fiction.
