THE DOMINATING SPIRIT.
Which Ruled the Reed Mckinley Con-
 gress of 1890.

That is qualified expression which comes from the Massachusetts republic ans on the tariff question. They want steps taken toward tariff revision, but insist that they do not want the republican party committed to any specific measure or any particular policy moving in that direction.
 If the Massachusetts republicans had mustered enough candor to say pub- licly what the men who manipulated them were thinking, it would have been such a deliverance as this: Don't reathrm the principle of the Mckinley law in specific phrase and exact degree The country has repudiated 1t once and will certainly do so again, and the re- publican party as well if it again de- clares for it. And do not nominate Mckinley. The most conservative tariff platform it would be possible to make would be unavailing to save us from defeat if the nomination of Mc- kinley were made it's accompaniment. There is a trick worth dozen of that. Declare for protection of American industry and American labor in gem eral and tumultuous terms. Nominate on that platform some man who is en- tirely colorless on the question, and then, if we win, we can pass a law even more drastic than the Mckinley bill made, which our president will sign and through which our friends who have contributed campaign funds can get their money back
 Massachusetts republicans have never been particularly friendly tc Maine candidates for the presidency. yet it is almost impossible to avoid the conclusion that this time they are act ing in the interest of Mir Thomas Reed. But is not Reed as Ieep ,n pro- tection mud as Mckinley is in the mirc of that odious principle of governmentP Reed was the dominating spirit of the Reed-McKinley congress or 1s9O.-St Louis Republic

EXPORTS AND MANUFACTURES
The Wilson Tariff Opening Up Foreign
 Markets for American Goods.

The exports of manufactured goods from the United States for the first eight months of 1905 were of the value of si2a. 4so. s64. as against siis.o0o,oo0 in the corresponding months of 1894 At this rate the exports of shc entire year would amount to st94. 500. 900. a gain of slT. .o00. .000 over the previous year. This Is about RiI .G00. GOO more than the ex- ports of any previous year. In is@s our exports of manufactured goods were only i5.oi per cent of our total ex- ports. last year they were s3i4 per cent.
 This years exports show a large in- crease in agricultural implements, ma chinerv. chemicals. locomotives, sew ing machines. boots and shoes. refined mineral oil and manufactures of tooac- co. The increase in the exports of loco motives approximates eo0 per cent In some of the articles the exports as yet are small. but the figures show hand some percentage of growth. In others the exports run up Co many millions
 IL is worthy of remark that in many cases our exports are kept down by other circumstances than an inability to compete with foreign prices. In the case of 12. 900 tons of iron pipe wanted for the city of Tolsio, Japan, a company at Bessemer, Ala. bid si.50 per ton lower than the Scotch company to which the contract was awarded. The Ameri- can company failed to get the contract owing to differences as to details. such as the time of delivery. cost of inspec- tion. and the like. The incident showed. however, that Americans were able to compete with foreigners in this class of goods, so far as cost of production is concerned.
 The protectionists have a good deal to say about the increase of imports and the falling off of agricultural ex- ports, which last is due to short crops, but are discreetly silent with reference to the increase of our manufacturing exports, which demonstrates the ability of many manufacturers that are highly protected to compete in the markets of the world This ability has been strengthened greatly by the new tariff. which has given our manufactures cheaper materials. The manufacturers themselves are coming to a realization of the need of wider markets. To se- cure these more is necessary than cheap production. Many of our cousuls report that what Is chiefly needed is a more careful study of the needs of for eign markets. so as to produce goods that are adapted to the tastes and habits of those who consume them Louisville Courier-Journal.

Hawkins Must Do Time.


 Chancellor Martin, at Little Rock. denied the haheas corpus asked to get Charles Hawkins out of the peniten- tiary. Hawkins was pardoned from the penitentiarY years ago. on condi- ton that he would leave the state and stay away Returning to st Francis county, Gov. Clarke appointed him a justice of the peace. and Marshal Gaines commission him a deputy. Post office Inspector Thomas had him arrest ed for using the mails for fraudulent purposes, that he bought large amounts of bloodei sheep and hogs from other states and used the mails for getting out of paying for them. He gave bond for his appearance in the federal court, and the charge of vio- iating the conditions of his pardon was revived. resulting in his return to the penitentiary Judge Martins opiu- ion was quite lengthy and very able. He held that the section of the consti- tuition forbidding punishment does not nullify the other section giving the governor the right to pardon under such terms as the legislature may en- act; that the acceptance of the condi- tional pardon by Hawkins made stay ing out of Arkansas voluntary on his part, and therefore he was not ban ished.

FIGURES FOR m'KlNLEY.
ammcnse Inorsase in Customs Collectfons
 Under the Reform Tariff

Under the Reform Tarfu
 The import business still continues large and the rush at the custom house is constantly increasing. Collector kil- breth's big force of deputies and clerks have all they can do to handle the en- tries. The enemies of tariff reform however, declare that they see nothing to surprise them in these facts. They say that it is a natural sequence that Che reduction of the tariff should in- crease the volume of imports. But they say that the government must sustain itself, and that the Wilson bill will not bring sufficient revenue. To these gen tlemen Cashier Northrup, of the custom house, has the following answer to make:
 "The custom house at the port of New York collects about SO per cent of the revenue from imports of the entire United States The collections here are increasing to such an extent that there Is every promise that the Wilson bill will furnish as much if not more revenue than did the Mckinley bill The last three months have been ex- tremely encouraging, and a comparison between them and the corresponding months of 1894 may open the eyes of some of the gentlemen of the opposi- ton.
 .For instance, the collections at this port during July, 1894, were s6,2l6,- 146.21, and those for July, 1895, were s10,690, ,666.66. In August past we col lected s10, ,372, ,07s.41, and in August, 1894. the collections were &, 7s0, Tl5. Ts.
 ''The Wilson bill went into effect on August 2S, 1894. The revenues collected for the month following were so, 741,- 4o4.s2. The opposition asserted that there was nothing to be surprised at in the fact that the receipts increased e1 100000 over the preceding month. They asserted that importers had pur- posely held back their entries in order to take advantage of tariff reduction. That is probably true, but the imports for September, 1895, show revenue of s9,s34, ,072.56, an increase of s92, ,e57. "A :"
 Mir. Northrup, at the request of the World, has prepared the following in- teresting table comparing the customs receipts at the port of New York for twelve months of 1S93-ls94 under the Mckinley bill with the corresponding months of 1s94-1s95, during the last ten months of which the Wilson bill was in force. It Is as follows:

Liability of Shippers Iuvolved.

There is an interesting question of liability involved in the case of the St. Louis. Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad Co. vs. Clark & Johnson, in Judge Joseph ". Martins court, Little Rock. 1t is this: The Iron Mountain road frequently has applications to put in spurs for the convenience of ship pers. and it grants the same in some instances as a favor to the shippers, but it disclaims responsibility for loss by fire while the cars are being loaded, and holds that the shippers for whose benefit the spur may be provided are responsible for the loss or dam age to cars while on the spur. Clark & Johnson had brick making plant at Malvern, and there was a spur of the railroad running to it A fire destroyed the plant and also some cars that were on the spur. The railroad now sues the firm for the value of the cars de- stroyed. Judge !. R. Cockrill, for the defendants. stated to the court that his clients had received an intimation that fl they won the suit the railroad would tear up the spur provided for them Col. B. s Johnson. represent ing the railroad. said that the rail- road company was under no obligation to provide spurs for the convenience of shippers. and that when it did so lt had the right to enter into a con- tract defining the responsibility of the shippers for the loss of cars on the spurs. It Is to test the validity of this contract that the present suit is insti- tuted. The contention of the defend ants is that they were responsible only while the cars were being loaded.

THE GROWING SURPLUS.
hepubiicans Growing Wild Over Demo-
 cratic Prosperity.

A treasury surplus of three million dollars for September may be a good thing for the country, but it has had an alarming effect on the expert whom the Tribune keeps at Washington to expose our wretched tariff laws and the more wretched officials who ad- minister it. The vision of free traders -exultingn over this surplus has been too much for the poor head of this un- fortunate gentleman, and he fills the air with shrieks about "a sham, "a false pretense,' ''an attempt to de- eefve the country" "a forced balance. :" His only comfort is that there will be tremendous deficit this month. and a still bigger one for November. For the sake of this pitiable victim of the mania for protection statistics, all good Christians will hope there may be. One more surplus would finish him. Mean while, the prosajc business world, with cruel indifference to exulting free traders or ululating protectionists, will DealSon the surplus as simply one of inany signs of improving business. In their heart of hearts republicans them selves, except the Mckinley faction, are devoutly praying that the existing tariff may produce sufficient revenue. If 1t does not they will have to devise some new taxes; somebody will have 10 pay those taxes. In that way votes may ee lost, and how then can the country be saved from the horrors of democratic rule?-N. Y. Post.
