THE WAR In THE EAST.
Russia Announces that She will
Act with Great Britain.

SHANGHAI, August 2.-It is
stated to-day that the Japanese
have withdrawn all their troops
with Seoul. It is also rumored
that 30, ZOO Chinese soldiers have
crossed the Corean frontier.
Advices received here from
different points in China and
Japan state that the Japanese
in China and the Chinese in Ja-
pan have placed themselves un-
der the protection of the United
States representatives in those
countries.
TEN N-TSIN, August "A coun-
ell of war was held to-day. AT
terward the -Viceroy told the
representatives of the European
powers that he was confident of
the ultimate defeat of the Ja-
panese. He had no fears of an
attack on Taku, as the garrison
there had been strongly rein
forced. The Emperor of China
has issued a manifesto in re-
sponse to Japan's declaration of
war. It declares that the En-
peror accepts the war which
Japan has thrust upon him, and
orders the Viceroy and command
ers of the Imperial courts to
root these pestiler tial japanese
from their lairs." The Emperor
throws the whole blame for the
shedding Of blood upon the Jap
anese who, he asserts, are fight
| ing in an unjust cause.
The Emperor has expressed a
desire to come to Tien-Tsin, in
order to be near the center OF
interest, but Viceroy Ii Hung
Chang is opposed to the move
ment, on the ground that Tien.
Tsin does not afford suitable ac-
commodations for the Emperor.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 2.-Although
the treaty ports are exempt from
hostilities during the war, the
precautions taken to block the
YangtseKiang have rendered
navigation unsafe except il
broad daylight. The lights al
the entrance of the river have
been removed and many torpe
does have been laid.
The Chinese steamer plying
between this port and Ningpe
has hoisted Che British flag
The NTH and Cass, local Chinese
coasters, have raised the Ameri
can flag.

lhe Days when jarvis consented
he StOniDg of Vance.
In the history of North Caro-
linians, in public life, no man has
presented a spectacle SO humiliat-
ing to the State as is manifest
from the present aspect of Gov
ernor Elias Carr's Senator
the Hon. Thomas Jordan Jarvis.
In the contest pending between
Ransom and Jarvis, THE ARGUS
frankly admits preference for
the candidacy of the former.
However, until now, THE ARGUS
has been mindful of an apparent
degree of fitness in Senator Jar
Wis, should he so shuttle his
tenure as to become the success
sor of Ransom instead of Vance.
But, now, candor persuades the
admission that our value of Gov
ernor Carr's Senator has been
an overestimate.
In the many, very many letters
which Governor Carr's Senator
has written for publication, he
has shown an eagerness for the
retention of Office, so immodest,
so intensely selfish, and, withal,
so unrepresentative of the fore
most men of the great Demo
cratic party as to markedly dis
tinguish the fact that Jarvisism,
in the opinion of Governor Carr's
Senator, should dominate the
more vital questions of State
and Federal politics.
Soon after passing to the Sen
ate, Mr.. Jarvis, in one of his
letters, said. substantially, thai
the issue was not what men were
to be chosen as Senators, bu
that the saving of the State to the
Democracy was the overshadow
ing issue. Since then, in singu
lar &C ntrast, he has asseveratet
that the Senatorial issue canno
be kept from the canvass, and
going yet further, he declares
that it is not 'desirable" that i
should be eliminated Then, t,
controversially' project his can
didacy, he irnplores that thos
traditions and customs of tn
party, by which heretofore h
has been so signally honored, b
now overturned, and that tn
rotten, unrepresentative primar,
system, which in South Carolina

demand high rates on wool for the rea-
son, they allege, that cheap wool will
be the result. Whatever the reason
may be, the above tables make it clear
that tax on imported wool does not
help wool raisers in these States.
Satisfied that this is true, the Demo
Gratis in Congress decided to place
wool on the free list, and deprive the
manufacturer of wooden goods of one
excuse for his high prices. But they

"HIsTORY REPEATS ITSELF,

The saying, history repeats ITSELF" has
axiom. 1t does repeat itself. The same
causes produce like results, and the record
of these makes history. In his first mes
sage to Congress. delivered Dec. 8. 1857,
President Buchanan, a Democrat, said:
In the midst of unsurpassed plenty in all
the productions OF agriculture and in all
the elements of national wealth we find our
manufactures suspended. our public works
retarded. our private enterprises OF differ
ent kinds abandoned and thousands of
useful labo-ers thrown out OF employment
and reduced to want.
This was after eleven years of the Walk
er tariff. which was for revenue only. and
when the revised Walker tariff had been
in force six months. 1t was the result
of the best revenue tariff which could be
devised. and it was devised and revised by
the party to which Mr.. Buchanan be-
longed. What a picture his words present

vate enterprises. thousands of useful labor

PROFESSOR WILSON'S DELusIox.

The suggestion in Chairman Wilson's
speech at the dinner given in his honor by
the Chamber of Commerce. in London, to
the effect that the Democratic tariff law
and the more marked departures to free
trade which Mr.. Wilson advocates will in
jure rather than benefit Great Britain's
trade, must have tickled John Bull. who is
not an ex-college professor or a theorist,
but a hard-headed, practical and grasping
person. As a matter of fact, such sugges-
of Chairman Wilson himself. In his presen-
tation of his bill to the House he made es-
Inmates of the revenues which would be de-
rived from imports under the Cleveland
Wilson bill. The sugar duty was light in
that bill compared with the present law,
and yet Mr.. Wilson estimated that nearly
as much revenue would be derived from
imports as under the Mckinley law. The
duties of the present tariff law, leaving
sugar out, are on an average about so per
cent. less than those of the Mckinley law,
80 OA AK any ~ 01Nt -
poets to obtain nearly as much revenue.
The expectation is well based, for if a
dozen cases of a certain kind of foreign
made goods are sold in this country when
the duty was, say. 60 per cent. ad valorem.
it stands to reason that at least double
that quantity will be sold when the duty
has been reduced TO 30 per cent. If it is
the high tariff which keeps out foreign
goods, then the lower the tariff the more
will be imported. Professor Wilson may
not believe this, but every business man
understands it. and no business men more
thoroughly understand it than those Brit
ish merchants who listened to our free
trade theorist. Because they understood it,
they had the bonded warehouses in New
York. Boston, Philadelphia. and. indeed. in
the interior cities, filled with goods await
ing the passage of the Democratic tariff
law-which goods they FASTENED to take out
when it had been passed. TO put upon the
market. Because British manufacturer
and merchants knew that the throwing
down of half the wall which kept them out
of this country would at least double their
opportunities. they sent their travelling men
and circulars to American jobbers last
June, July and August. Offering great bar
gains should the Democratic tariff bill be-
come a law.
Many years ago. in the House of Com
mons, when that body was considering an
increase of the revenue. Burke, the great
est of British statesmen, systematically
said: "Halve your duties and double your
revenues That rule may not be in force
now. but nearly everybody. except a self
duped American theorst, knows that to
| halve the Mckinley duties will double the
import of foreign goods competing with our
i own products.
