VANISHING DIVIDENDS.

Forum writer says:
TIE ratio of returns 10 invested capital In the
form of dividends on the capital stock OF rail-
road companies has declined with great rapid
ity within the last twenty years.
The writer goes on to establish the truth
of his statement and to suggest possible
remedies. He thinks that expenses may
he greatly reduced by an understanding
among companies in regard t. rates and to
methods of competition. So much money
is now expended in getting business that
there is little or ne profit left to the road
that gets II. Another point upon which
the writer touches lightly is watered stock
1t is admitted that much of this capital
upon which its dividends are supposed 10
be due is fictitious. But stocks and bonds
have been sold to innocent parties who
have some right in the properties though
there may have been fraud in the creation
of the represent tative of such properties.

capital stock 10 their own hands and issue

INCREASING IMPORTS.

Free-trade journals are not saying much
about the trade statement that in the first
week of October the value of imports at
New York was 27 per cent greater than
last year in the face of the fact that i'm
ports of sugar had fallen off from $1,782,-
059 in 1893 to S53.04 in 1894 Taking the
reduction in sugar imports into account
the ratio Of increase in imports of manu-
factured goods must be much larger than
is reported. These increased imports
come into the country at a time when a
reduction in the price of grain and cotton
impars the ability Of the people to buy.
The imported goods must be paid for, and
TO save paying for them with gold we send
abroad wheat and cotton into falling
market By manufacturing the goods we
import home market would be created
for portion of the cotton and grain sent
abroad and to the extent of the market
thus created the pressure upon the foreign
market for grain and cotton would be
removed.

FREE.TRADE DELUSlONS.

Free traders who have not been able to
see why the condition of trade which
works SO well among the States would not
work at all among nations may find the
following from one of McKinley's recent
speeches source of enligh tenment:
The foreign market for agricultural products
is one of the delusions OF free trade. If 1t ever
had any real substance as against a good home
market that has long since disappeared. We
have free trade among ourselves throughout
our fOrty-four States and Territories. That is
because we are one family-one country. We
are one nation, have one standard OF citizen
ship, one flag, one constitution. one destiny.
That IS why we have free trade among our
selves Our relations with foreign states are
necessarily different from our relations with
one another They are our commercial rivals.
We deny 10 hose foreign states trade with us
upon the same terms we enjoy ourselves.
The principle upon which we deny
foreign states traGe with us upon the same
terms we enjoy among ourselves is the
same as that which we observe in the
maintenance of family inequalities. No
man considers himself called upon TO ex-
tend to other families all the advantages
be may confer upOn his own. Neither
does he expect men of much larger means
which he can afford. The comparatively
few who do think that equality should be
the rule of life in aspect TO society and
family relations are known as socialists or
communists. A nation has the same right
to maintain superior conditions among
nations if it can that the head of one
family has to maintain superior conditions
among families if he can. The free-trade
theory that goods should be manufactured
where the work can be done at the lowest
cost and taken into the highest market
without other cost than transportation is
destructive of these superior national con-
ditiODs. The cheapest worker will do the
Work. 1t is quite as destructive Of su-
perior conditions as the other theory that
the Inhabitants of one country have an in
herent right to enter and live in any coun-
try where they may please without regard
to the well-being Of the people of the
country they may desire to enter into.

AS OTHERS SEE US.

The New Yo rk Erening Post of recent
date has the following:
San Francisco is having an interesting
municipal campaign. The blind boss of the
Democrats and the Republican boss who has
not been able TO see the thieves who got away
with public money in two Offices which he has
held have both put up regulation machine
tickets of the usual sort containing few good
names for The less important Offices TO balance
the bad ones for the chief places. The busi-
ness men OF both parties have been aroused TO
the point OF holding convention and putting
out Non-Partsan ticket which vindicates its
name, as it takes good men from each of the
machine tickets and fills out the list with other
good men from each party. The only question
now is whether the citizens who want good
government will work hard enough TO get IT,
The bosses on both sides will fight with all
their energy, and nothing but equal determine.
tion against them Will elect the Nom Partisan
ticket. But whether successful or not the
nomination Of such ticket is in ltsefa a hopeful
sign.
The Post has sized up the situation here
with good Judgment. 1t also indicates
correctly the way to Non-Pariisan success.
According to the present outlook the forces
OF dpcency IN local government will give
the Post and the public an eye-opener two
weeks from to-day. The preparatory work
of making up The ticket has been done in
good shape. The hard campaigning is
now going on, with solid, persistent, per-
sonal argument and solicitation. The
danger point just now seems to be in the
registrat on. With $4,000 names on the
list and eighty odd precincts to hear from
there must have been good deal of stuff
fng done. Every one knows how the
stuffed vote will go if it is permitted to be
cast and counted. For the next two weeks
one job will be to hunt up the suffers and
give them the choice between taking a
back seat or going to San Quentin. The
people are in no mood to be swndIed out

Another job, not strictly pertaining tc

FREE AND DUTIABLE.

In 1868 90 80 per cent of our imports
were on the dutiable list. In 1892 duties
were laid on only 1870 per cent Under
the protective policy the burden OF taxa
ton was removed from about all articles
that could not be produced at home. The
present tariff has not been long enough in
operation to determine precisely what per.
centage of the whole imports will come in
free, but the placing of sugar on the duti
able list makes it certain that the proper
tion of free imports will be reduced The
only compensation the free-Taders Offer

Victoria is the head, and the Gould fam

was deemed sufficient but the lady herself
was objected to as plebeian. Commenting
upon the Queens rejection of the pro-
posed alliance, the Chicago Times re-
marks that the objection was without
good reason. The only thing that could
be said against the Gould family was that
