TARIFF HEARINGS AND GOLD
DEMOCRATS.

Tariff hearings before the ways and
means committee began yesterday. The
morning session was devoted 70 the
chemical schedule that of the after
noon being devoted to wines and liq-
uors- The arguments were in favor of
higher duties, as was to have been ex-
pected; an argument in favor of lower
duties would be such a rare bird that
it would deserve to be framed and
hung up in the rotunda of the capitol
These tariff hearings will be as gall
and NORWOOD to those Democrats
who bolted their party and supported
Major Mckinley. Their support was
given because they did not accept the
free silver plank of the Chicago plat
form, the great issue of the cam
paign being the financial one; but they
did not appreciate the fact that they
were picking I'D the high tariff snake
and warming it to life in their bosoms
when they joined the protection party
AT last it has begun to wriggle, and
the sensation sends a cold shudder
down their spinal columns They are
realizing this and do not know what
to do. Occasionally one confesses to
himself and intimates to his friends
that they were badly bitten. Thus one
of them writes TO the Boston Herald
as follows:
Once upon time there was a mighty
party, and it was called the Republican
party. But after it had become weak
ened by age, and by the abuse of slim
ulantS such as star routes navy con-
tracts. large appropriations and great
individual profit from high protection
it lost many of its adherents, who be-
came mugwumps, if not Democrats,
and It put up a candidate for the
presidency who was opposed by a
strong minority in his party. This
minority didn't like him a little bit,
but they had to say they would take
him, and they all set out to elect him.
And about that time there was
sprung against them candidate called
Democratic candidate, and of a sud
den it looked nightly as if he were
going to be elected. but he, too, was

THE BANK FAILURES.

AT the present time there. seems to
be an epidemic of bank failures. They
are the result, no doubt, of bad man.
agement in the main. Probably every
effort was made to pull them through
until after the election in the hope that
there would be very decided improve
ment in business. The hope was not
realized, and having gone as far as
they could and done all in their power
TO save themselves, they have finally
succumbed to the inevitable
There is one circumstance connected
with these failures that should be
nooed and which should give encour-
agement; it is this: thus far there
are no signs of panic because of them.
This is matter of much congratu-
lation- Had they occurred during the
summer, when the people We're very
much wrought up over the financial
question and when the excitement was
such that any and all wild rumors were
given credence, they would have been
followed by panic. These bank failures,
like all failures, are matters of keen
regret, but if the banks were weak
and worthless institutions and there
was no possible hope of their recovery,
then it is better that they close up
and cease to be, as their continued
sicxly existence was threat to other
wise healthy Institutions. Like bad as
sets, it is much better that they be
charged off than carried on the books.
Soon after the election there was
fair prospect of a revival of business
but it has been largely destroyed by
the war scare that has swept across
the country ever since congress took
up the Cuban question. How long this
scare will continue no one can say.
1t may be that when congress recon-
venes there will be less disposition to
hasty and radical action than before
the holidays. 1t is to be hoped there
will be. If such is the case things will
again settle down and business may
revive; it will at least be afforded a
chance to, which it has not now. The
bank failures of the past week or so
are nothing in their bad effects upon
business compared with the war fever;
in fact there is no cause whatever for
alarm over them. What the country
needs most is peace and freedom from
agitation of all kinds that business
may revive and prosperity return.

EXPORT OF MANUFACTURES.

A Berlin paper asserts that 800 Ger
man factories have resumed work
since Mckinley was elected president
300 factories have increased their
hands. The factories resuming include
rs wooden mills. cotton goods works. %
gentlemens Quitting works and Is
carpet factories. All of these had been
closed for several years.
If this is so, it must be that those
in charge of these factories anticipate
that the result of McKinley's election
will be very high tariff in the United
States. and that this viii mean such an
increased cost of production that there
will be little or nothing to fear from
American competition in Germany or
elsewhere.
Whatever the faults of the Wilson
German bill may be it has had the
great merit of stimulating the export
of manufactured goods. This has been
made possible through reducing or re-
moving the tariff on raw material of
various kinds, but if manufacturers are
shut off from a cheap supply of sucn
material the consequence will be for
eign markets will be cut off as well.
In the past the bulk of our exports
has been of natural products rather
than of the manufactured kind. For
many years we had the European
market for wheat and cotton and SINH
lar products practically to ourselves;
the United States were the granary of
the world. Such is no longer the case.
Russia and India are our rivals in the
wheat market, and Egypt and India in
the cotton market. The worlds mar
kets for these two articles no longer be-
long to the United States exclusively.
Henceforth this country, if it would
be a chief factor in the worlds mar
kets, must be so as a manufacturing
nation. England's supremacy in the
commerce of the world is as a manu-
featuring nation. This nation is the
rival she most fears. In some branches
of trade American merchants have in.
vaded the English home markets,
branches in which the English hereto
fore have been absolutely supreme. 1t
was an American firm that success
fully bid against all the world for the
Japanese contract for some thousands
of tons of steel rails. This country is
very fast getting a firm hold upon for
eign markets and no policy should be
adopted that will weaken that hold.
The starting up of these German mills
is evidence that the German manufac-
turers think such a policy will be
adopted.

WILL GO BACK HOME.
Three Chinese officials Whose Terms
Have Expired.

San Francisco, Dec. 2s.-(Special
Correspondence OF the United Asso-
ciated Presses).-Tolio, Dec. 13.-
Three Chinese foreign representatives
are expected TO return home soon, their
terms of service having expired. They
are Hsu Ching Cheng, minister to
Russia, Germany, Austria and Holland;
Yang Ju, minister to the United States,
Spain, Peru and Brazil and kung
Chao- Yuan, minister to Great Britain.
The candidates recommended to the
throne as their successors are WI
Ting Fang, Lo Feng-Lo and Huang
Chun-Hsien. The first was once a
resident in Hong Kong, where he was
known as Ng-Choy (Ng being the
Cantonese pronunciation of Wu), and
the last enjoys the distinction of be-
ing an English Sir" the queen of
England having made him a knight of
companied Lii Hung Chang on the lat
ter's western tour. 1t appears certain
that 10 Feng-Lo, or Sir Chi Chen, as
he will probably be called henceforth,
will go to London and that WI Ting
Fang viii be the Chinese representa-
tive in Washington. WI practiced for
some time as barrister in Hong
Kong and was made a police magis-
trate by Sir John Pone Hennessy. then
governor of the colony. Hung Chung
Hsim, who is expected to become min
lister to Russia, Germany, Austria and
Holland, is 4 native of Canton and was
for several years Chinese consul-gen-
eraI at Singapore. Subsequently he
held various appointments, all con-
nected, more or less, with foreign af-
fairs.
The foreign community in Tien-Tsin
are much exercised about the United
States ship Monocacy, which has been
condemned. apparently. to spend the
winter at Tangku, little village near
the mouth of the Peiho river. The
misery of passing three months at such
a wretched place can hardly be ex-
aggerated. Tien-Tsin is So miles high
er up the river, and the ship would be
far more useful there: but the United
States naval authorities seem to en-
terrain some apprehension that if the
Monocacy went up to Tien-Tsin she
might have difficulty in getting down
again There are no solid grounds for
such fear; the Peiho is always nav
igable in March.

Relieved of His Stripes He is Given
a Responsible Position.

a Responsible Position.
New York, Dec 2S.-A Herald special
from Atlanta says:
Sidney Lascelles, alias Lord Beres-
ford" came up yesterday from the
GreSS Lumber company'S works, where
he has been a convict, and for the first
time talked about his plans for the
future. He would say nothing about
the report that he expects ia re-marry
Miss Maud Lilienthal of Yonkers, n.
Y, who has secured a divorce from
him. He says that he has never
brought her name into his troubles
and says he knows she is still true
to him, in spite of the efforts of her
relatives to keep her from him.
AS soon as Lascelles reached the city
thank Governor Atkinson. who granted
him freedom. When the old negro
butler heard the callers name he led
him through to the back hall, where
Lascelles was left standing.
When Governor Atkinson came in he
greeted Lascelles cordially, took him
into the parlor, introduced him to Mrs.
Atkinson and for half an hour the par
doned convict was made to feel at
home. Speaking of the reception af-
terward, tears came into his eyes as
he said: III live my life TO show the
governor that his confidence in me is
not misplaced. / will remain in Geor-
gia and make a name for myself
In Kramer he had kept books for
the Gress Lumber company. The Gress
people have shown their confidence in
him by offering him the management
of their big lumber interests in Kra-
mer, and he will go back as manager
to the camp where, until yesterday, he
wore convict stripes.

TALES OF THE DAY.
COOK Was Not Appreciated.

Tit-Bits: A lady had cook who gave
her every satisfaction, and she was under
the impression that the cook was equally
satisfied with her place.
But one morning, to the lady's intense
surprise, the cook gave her the usual
months notice.
But whatever do you want to leave
for, Jane?" asked the mistress I am

were quite comfortable here.
Yes, mum, I'm comfortable enough in
a way, but"
The cook hesitated and fidgeted about.
But what?" queried her mistress

is, the master don't seem TO precidte my

where my efforts to please are wasted;

master doesn't appreciate your cookery?

opposed by strong minority of his
party.
And it came to pass that the Repub-
ilcans. in their danger and distress,
appeared to see some of the errors of
their ways, and they seemed to wish to
burn some Of their previously wor-
shipped idols of protection and high
| prices, and to adopt instead the ideas
of the good Democrats, who wanted
sound money and reformed currency,
in order to improve the business needs
of the country. And they all said:
That's what we all want, and if you
will help us to elect our candidate we
will help you to your sound money
and your reformed currency and your
business improvements But we have
not funds needed to carry on the cam
paign against our common enemy, so
you must help US quickly with your
contributions.
And the trusting, good Democrats
and mugwumDs turned TO with a will,
and they supplied what was needed of
financial and moral support to their
new-made friends, and they all elected
the Republican candidate, after one
of the most momentous struggles ever
witnessed in great nation.
And the great men of the Republican
party breathed freely again. and they
went to Washington and got together
in their councils, and they turned their
backs upon the Democrats who had
helped them to victory, and began TO
parcel out among themselves all the
good things. And they sat themselves
down at the feast tables. but the good
Democrats they left staining in the en-
tries.
This reads like a fable. and like a
fable it must have a moral TO it:

friends, the Republicans; 1 trembled

tory.
We contributed to the joint cause
more money than we had ever contrib
uted to q political campaign. We
worked harder in the field, of educa-
tional literature and reform stumping,
and we innocently believed in the new
friendships which we had made.

and l see them smile a smile of indif-
ference, if. indeed. not one of contempt,

high protection. large appropriations,

nations.
In the name of innocent and verdant
humanity, what are they aiming at?
Are they kicking away our support by
which they were saved? Are they pre-
pairing for themselves new crops of
enemies and another hydra-headed foe
in four years? And am I to be blamed
if a feeling arises in me that we have
been buncoed?
This gentleman should have thought
of the consequences before he took a
leap in the dark. He and those who
stood with him have been buncoed; it
was very famous gold brick game
that was played upon them. They have
no one but themselves to blame, and
now they will realize. if they never did
before, that while a treason is loved
traitor is despised.
