BERLIN. Feb. ia short time ago the

insured by the Foreign Office. To-day the
editor Of tho paper. Herr Wagner. was

This cable is badly mixed. but we take
the meaning Of it 10 be that Editor Wae-

WHY DISTURB THE TARIFF?

The New York Sun prints. and We sup
pose with its approval. an address re-
Gently made by a. Il. Outerbridge, Jr.
to the students at the University of Penn
sylvania in which forecast IS made OF
American industries. lie says in the be-
ginning that competition has lowered
prices; wages have fallen; production has
been curtailed and hardships have re-
suited. His conclusion is that there must
be further curtailing Of production or
else an enlargement OF markets. lie thus
goes into statistics to show that Ameri-
can producers have realized these condi-
tons and have met them in a measure by
charging their exports.
During the past eleven months. he
SAYS. the total exports of manufactured
articles jshow an increase of $4,000. 900
over those OF the corresponding period a
year ago. These include agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS. sewing machines, type-setters.
and type-writers. watches and clocks
boots and shoes. locomotives and other
machinery, machine tools, hardware. cleo
trical supplies. and scientific apparatus.
In the next place he mentions the fact
that an experiment was recently made
by American manufacturers with for
eign labor. Several manufacturers think
ing to avail themselves OF cheaper labor
abroad established their works I'm differ
ent parts of Europe, but TO their sur
prise they found that it cost more 10
manufacture these goods with cheap for
eign labor than with more expensive
American labor. because of the super
iority Of labor In America.
Again. SAYS he. It has been contended
that the rates on all heavy articles would
prove a prohibitive handicap against ex.
ports, and again fact disproves theory

THE SELECTION OF GOVERNOR.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal expresses
the hope that the Democrats throughout
virginia I'm considering the question OF
candidate for Governor VIII consider the
Injustice and folly OF two things: l. The
preiudice against candidate. simply be-
cause he Is Richmond man. 3 The pro-
scrlption Of a candidate. because lie is
a gold-standard man. notwithstanding his
support Of the Chicago platform and its
candidates In both OF these things. adds
our contemporary there is "a lack OF justice
eaud common sense and sure element OF
disentegratlon and ultimate defeat.
This Is good advice. and should be fol-
lowed. What the Democrats OF Virginia
want is a candidate who Will win. and
who. when he has won. viii make dis
Greet Governor. 1t makes no difference
whether his home IS in Richmond or in

or on the farm. provided only he be the
