WHERE Is THE ENCOURAGE
MENT2
r. l.. LONG,
Secretary

There are those who think they find
great encouragement in the fact that
tine export of manufactured articles has
Increased under the workings of THE
Wilson German tariff, Notwithstanding
the fact THAT the foreign market for
all other classes of American exports
GAS declined i'm "a, still greater degree.
The defeated never give up without a
struggle ito convince the world that
they were not wholly in the wrong.
This increase, which amounts ITO but
S.27 per cent for the eight months of
the present fiscal year, is being held
I'D as a conclusive proof that the
theory of free trade lis all right, not
Withstanding the overwhelming evil
dence THAT in practice it is the greatest
Of. failures.
1t is unnecessary ito go over the fig
Ures which go to show how disastrous
tile Democratic policy OF revenue has
been ito the industries not c1assed as
manufacturing Their exports com
prised S4.39 per cent of the grand total
during the last year of protection, and
are. therefore, of much greater i'm
portance than the 1851 per cent clas-
stIed as manufactures. They repre-
sent our industries just as we'll as the
manufactured exports.
If it were not for the fact that the
importation of foreign manufactures
had compelled our OWN mills and shops
to reduce wages so they could success
fully compete with foreign labor, THE
3.27 per cent of increase would NOT
siaYe been realized. On the contrary

Receiver Smith Defines His Position
ON the A. & P.

Los Angeles Express: In reference
to the recent dispatch from New York,
stating that Judge Golfers decree in
the foreclosure of the UNITED States
Trust company against the Atlantic
& Pacific railroad was preliminary
step toward the foreclosure sale OF that
line, Receiver Smith said that that de-
cree covered only the property of the
road in New Mexico, but he thought
decress would also be shortly issued
covering its property both in Arizona
and California.
Receiver Smith when asked If c. P.
Huntington was trying ito gain pos
session of THE Atlantic & Pacific, which
extends from The Needles to Mojave,
said:
eff Huntington wants that portion
of the road he cam have ut. We are
more than willing to sell 1T because we
can build a parallel line ito fill in the
gap at go per cent less money than the
cost of the present property. The
Southern Pacific built THAT part of the
road originally, but C. P. Huntington
can't control the bonds. He probably
