SHERMAN FOR SECRETARY.
The Ohio Statesman Booked for the PORT
folio of state.

1 fouO Oh ct8sc.
John Sherman has decided to accept
the Office OF secretary Of state. In this
manner he will round out long and
distinguished career For over 40 years
he has been in the service of his coun-
try. Throughout that period. which was
| filed with the greatest events, he has
been conspicuous and always equal to
the great emergencies which he was
called upon TO face.
Once before he filled a cabinet posi-
ton, and filled it so ably it was agreed
that he was foremost among the finan-
cers of the age. 1t was during his
term of office that the time arrived for
the resumption of specie payments, and
it was generally conceded that an eSpu(
riment was to be tried which woulf<
demonstrate the wisdom of the policy
of the republican party, or show that
break at last had been made in the long
list of brilliant achievements begun I'M
der the Lincoln administration, when
the work of reestablishing the nations
credit and of providing the means for
the conduct of the great civil war was
undertaken. AS January /, 1879, ape
preached there was much foreboding.
and fear was expressed that instead Of
the resumption of specie payments being
effected there might be drain on the
treasury and another season of financial
excitement would be inaugurated.
Calmly, but with scientific care, the
secretary of the treasury, Mr.. Sherman.
made his preparations for the great day.
1t came at last and resumption was
accomplished as easily and as smoothly
as one administration succeeds another,
as the government passes from demo-
cratic to republican hands, or from re-
publican to democratic.
John Sherman had foreseen every
thing. He had made preparations for
every contingency, and again the wis
dom and the efficacy of republican pol
icy was shown TO all men. In a great
crisis he rose in a grand manner and it
will be said hereafter that among the
great statesmen of the last half of the
nineteenth century, John Sherman &C.
cupied high and honorable place.
If he shall acquit himself of the re-
sponsibilities he is about to assume, in
manner as creditable as he exercised the
functions of the chief financial officer
of the state, he will gain more honor,
and his countrymen will have reason to
felicitate themselves. He certainly will
add much strength TO the Mckinley adj
ministration which will begin its career
under the happiest auspices.
The country is to be congratulated
that Mr.. Sherman has seen his way
clear to the acceptance of this high Of
fice.-Albany Journal.

The Gold Is safe.

There is not particle of danger of
the export of gold from the United
States. Our exports of merchandise
during last month aggregated Sf17,-
227,102. while our imports for that
month were bUt S57,956,009, the ex-
cess of our exports over imports for De-
cember being S59,271 ,o93, or an excess
of more than $4,000 more than all
our imports. Our gold supply is all
right, and viii continue all right as
long as the American people patronize
home institutions by buying American
made goods in preference to all others.
The balance of merchandise trade was
$780,, 49,, 1S4 in favor of the United
States for 1896, but we are still buying
100 many foreign goods. Dun d Co.'S
Review states that the large balance of
trade in our favor renders certain the
continuance OF gold payments in this
country and freedom from any endan-
gering drain of gold on foreign nc
count" Provide rufiicient revenues for
the national government and protection
for American labor to that extent and
the hard times will be ended.-Iowa

LUMBER STATISTICS.
Figures Showing the State of the Trade
in the Year 1896.

Saginaw, Jan. 30.-Edward Cowles,
lumber statistician, has compiled a
statement showing that Michigan last
year produced 2,166, 252 ,9S2 feet of lum-
Der, and 941, 527 200 shingles. At the
close of the year there were in She
hands of manufacturers 1,140,316, Ass
feet of lumber, and POS, 316 500 shingles
The Michigan output last year, as COM
pared with 1895, shows decrease of
sos, ZOO, 900 feet, and decrease of ,5Gi,-
100000 feet as compared with the out
put OF 1892. At the close OF the man3-
featuring season there was on hans
only 100000 feet less than the guam
tity on hand at the close of 1895, ab-
though there was falling off in pro-
duction, as stated, of nearly 100000

THE LUMBER TRADE.
Protection an Absolute Necessity to the
American Interests.

The representatives of American
lumber interests from % states, who
met at Cincinnati in December, were
right in stating that the lumber trade
OF the country was so distressed as to
need relief. The southern states were
very largely represented among the
$50 delegates present, and, though
many of them had been free
traders, they are now convinced
that protection is necessary in
the American timber trade. Their
old theories have given way under con-
ditions resulting from little practical
experience. Mr.. Sias w. Gardner, of
Iowa, in addressing the convention,
said:
The call of this meeting was made by
men who know thoroughly the extent OF
the depression in our business and how
disastrously our trade has been affected by
adverse legislation By congress in tariff
matters.
Mr.. Gardner was right, as the fol-
lowing values of our imports of lum-

GOVERNOR HASTINGS, in a message to
the legislature on Monday, gives that
body some very sensible advice. He
says:
AT this time, when almost all indus
tries are suffering, when tarde is stag

employment, economy in the expendI-
ture OF public moneys should control the
General Assembly in its appropriations
and will certainly control the executive

fully passed decreasing reasonably exist
ing salaries from.the highest to the low
est. When the individual citizen finds
it necessary to exercise the most rigid
economy in order to support himself and
his family, it is certainly strong ad
monition to you and to the executive tc
see to it that his burden should not be
increased. but so far as possible should
be lesseded" "

The Democratic state executive COM
mittee met at Harrisburg on Wednes-
day of last week and decided to hold the
state convention at Reading on August
81, which will be about a week after the
Republican candidates for auditor gener-
al and state treasurer will have been
nominated.
Chairman John NJ. Garmon of Nan
ticoke, presided and in a short address
expressed himself as confident of cut
ting the Republican majority to pieces
and spoke very yencouragingly of the out
look for the Democrats in the state
treasurership battle this fall. OF next
years contest for governor he was also
very hopeful and couuseled unremi,ting
vigilance on the part of the workers.
Anticipating that the Republicans
will nominate James III. Beacon, of
Westmorelrnd, for state treasurer. and
either Major Levi G. McCauley, of Ches-
ter county, or Senator Herdenbergh, of
Wayne, for auditor general, a strong
feeling was exhibited among the Demo-
cratic committee men in favor of a
Philadelphian on their ticket for state
treasurer, with the other nominee from
western county. This arrangement.
however, might interfere with the plans
of the Democratic granger element to
make their fellow agriculturist, James
McSparrin, of Lancaster county, the
candidate for auditor general.
Chairman Garman favored but did
not insist upon the latter part of July
for the convention. The majority de-
sired to lessen expenses by shortening
the campaign.
A resolution was adopted asking the
Democratic Legislators to vote against the
$50, 900 bill for the expenses of the An
drews senatorial investigating commit
tee, ''and expenditures for all other fake

As THE governor suggested in his mes
sage to the Legislature, Monday evening,
this state, says the Harrisburg Patriot, is
not suffering from deficiency of rev.
enue, but from a superabundance of ex-
penditure.
Instead of devising ways and means
to increase the income OF the state
which can be done only by taxing the
peopIe-the Legislature should apply
lttelf to the discovery of some method
whereby the drain upon the states rev.
enues may be lessened. 1t is preposter-
Gus to hold that the present revenues of
for all Legitimate purposes. And it is
equally prepOsterOus to hold that all
money spent has gone into legitimate
channels of expenditure, even though
each disbursement was made with legis-
lative or other official sanction.
Extravaganza, to give it no harsher
term, has depleted the state treasury.
During the years when citizens of the
state were compelled TO observe the
closest economy to enjoy bare necessa-
ries of life, when wages were reduced
from one end of the state to the other,
when thousands and thousands of men
were deprived of steady employment,
tina legislature created new offices with
fat salaries and increased salaries of per
sons already in office; and the greatest
license obtained in expenditures for pur-
chases for the states account.
The depletion of the treasury is the
natural result, and the legislature now
seeks to make the people pay the piper,
and seeks nothing else, instead of cut
ting off unnecessary offices and en-
ployes, and reducing the extravagant
wages of those who remain on the sala-
~ list.

SENATOR Quay has moved a singular
amendment to the tariff bill, providing
for the admission free of duty of the iron
ore from foreign mines owned or con-
trolled by American corporations or..part
nerships. We suppose this is to meet
the demand for free ore by iron manu-
facturers east of the mountains, VINO
have invested largely in the ore lands of
Cuba. Unless they can get ore free of
tax they will be out of the running in
competition with plants more accessible
to the Lake Superior ore. The Quay
amendment therefore proposes to cast
aside the doctrine of protection in this
case, as well as the economic principle of
the survival of the fittest-those who are
nearest home sOurses of supply of raw
material. He will hardly carry this
amendment unless he revives his cele-
brated scrap book speech. He is equal
to that if he thinks the game worth the
powder.

IT is not remarkable that a bill has
been introduced in congress imposing a
heavy fine or imprisonment upon alleged
patent attorneys who offer prizes and
medals as an inducement to apply for a
patent. A more taking scheme for OBJ
tainining money has seldom been in
vented. Thousands have been caught
by it, and have lost, not only the mon
ey they have paid the attorney and the
government, but, in a jack o'lantern
pursuit of fortune, in a promised but
neverto be- obtained patent, have
stopped work and even mortgaged OF
sold their property. The aggregate mis-
cry from this source is pathetic to con,
template.
These attorneys have advertised fal
and wide that ideas are patentable, anG
have a commercial and marketable val
ue. A most delusive and hurtful de
| ception. The lists of ''patents wanted
which they send to stimulate invention
as matter of course, embrace classes il
which there are already from 10 to 100
patents. Indeed, it is impossible tC
| print list of 100 inventions withcu
mentioning at least 50 that have beer
each covered by many patents.
1t is kindness on the part of the gov
ernment to refuse the grant of patents
as it does in nine cases in ten, to thes,
deluded applicants, for the grant of ,
flimsy, worthless patent for an almos
obsolete device would only involve tn,
owner in further fruitless expense.
All these attorneys have so called sal,
agency annexes, and, under the PIE
tense of heing able to sell the patent
still further fleece the poor men and wo
men 10y getting their money for adver
tising. OF course they never sell, TO
the patents they paocure are weak ant
worthless, and no one posted in the clas
| of invention to which they pertain woulC
accept them as a gift.
