The Tariff and the steel Industries.

IN one year after its enactment the
Wilson law doubled the importation of
bar iron; it destroyed the cotton tie in
dustry in this country and closed up
the factories: il about doubled the i'm
ports of steel ingots, blooms, etc; it in
creased the imports of tin plate; and
though the iron and steel schedule was
not injured To the extent of the wool
schedule and the wooden and worsted
schedule. yet the imports were increas-
ed $1,000. 1000. In common with all
business this great industry, in which
probably over half million of our pco-
pie are directly or indirectly interested,
has been crippled and the consuming
power of an army of workers cut down.

EVER VICTORIOUS ARMY.
Foreign Legion Organized by an Amer
lean Sailor In China.

"A Foreign Legion Organized by an Amer
lean Sailor In China
With spirit of liberality and quick dis
cernment little characteristic of his coun-
trymen Ii Hung Chang early recognized
the fact that the methods and weapons of
Chinese warfare were Anticipated and i'll
suited to the work in hand, and he well
coined the opportunity afforded by his stay
at Shanghai to introduce into the cam
paign modern military appliances. A for
eign legion, enlisted from the unemployed
and adventurous Europeans who frequent
ed that port, was admitted into the Chi
nese army under the command of an
American sailor named Ward, and which,
on account of its brilliant successes, and
following the Chinese practice of adopting
high sounding titles, was called the lever
victorious army" Ward, after thorough
organization of his foreign contingent and
a series Of triumphs over the rebels was
killed in an assault upon the enemy, and
the command of the corps devolved upon
Colonel Gordon, who was detached from
the British army for that purpose.
This foreign contingent was the most
trustworthy ally of the Chinese generals in
the suppression of the great rebellion, and
much fame has Justly come to Gordon for
the part he bore in the contest. But there
Is q general disposition on the part of Brit
ish writers to belittle the services and
smirch the reputation of the American,
Ward, who is always styled by them an
adventurer. How he differed from Cor
don In that respect is not apparent But
certain it Is that he Is entitled to the credit
Of having displayed marked military abil-
ity both In organizing his forces and In
leading them in battle, and he demonstrate
ed the wisdom of the Chinese commander
in enlisting the corps and its utility as a
means of putting down the rebellion. No
greater Endorsement of his military genius
could have been given than by Gordon
himself in adopting his organization and
following his methods to the smallest de-
tails.-John W. Foster In Century.
