township, ward, school and borough
collectors have expired, or shall expire

President Mckinley for Free Trade,

In his address before the Cincin-
natl Chamber of Commerce on Satur-
day, President Mckinley paid tri-
butte to the principles of commercial
freedom that would have we'll become
the mouth of a champion of Free
Trade. Among other things the
President said
Domestic conditions are sure to be
improved by large exchanges with the
nations of the world. We are already
reaching out with good results. Our
surplus products Of agriculture and
manufactures are finding foreign
market, and in the latter case to a
degree which would not have been
believed possible a quarter of CEN
tuiy ago. We have made wonderful
progress in this direction, and have
only just begun. Our manufactured
products go to every nation of the
world, and | hope the time may not
be far distant when our ships under
the Stars and Stripes will be on every
sea where commerce is carried and
the wants Of mankind are to be sup.
piled.
These are liberal patriotic sentl-
ments in the strongest possible con.
trast with the principles and policy OF
the Dingley Tariff with its restrictive
duties upon imports, especially upon
raw materials. and with its Peter
Funk pretense of reciprocity. If the
entire reciprocity section of the tariff
could be carried out in accordance
with the professed design Of its au-
thors it would hardly make ripple in
the great ocean Of international com.
merce. What is 90 be gained by a
"trinkgeld" policy from which the
nations having the largest trade with
the United States are totally exclud-
ed ? How is commerce to be sub
stantially promoted when from the
multitudnous articles of exchange
with foreign countries argol, brandy,
IuduIpdSuC. Stlil NluCS. NSl ulOulll anu
paintings and statuary alone are Sc
lected for this reciprocity deal These
imports with one exception are ar
ticles Of voluntary use or luXuries and
should be subject to the highest
duties consistent with revenue, or in
the case of paintings and statuary
should be made entirely free. But by
a proffer of reduction OF duties on this
comparatively insignificant list Of i'm
ports it is hoped to win reciprocal
concessions from France and Germany
and to accomplish the results upon
which President Mckinley SO elo-
quently expatiated in his Saturday
speech to the merchants of Cincinnati
The free trader might we'll be pardon
ed for skepticisn, when "argols' and
"vermouth" with brandy and cham
pagnes are the chief basis Of this won
derful scheme Of reciprocity.

TRADE REVIEWS.
Dun and Bradstreet's on the Business
Situa alton.

Dun's Review of trade says:
The testing of retail trade is in
progress, but results are remarkably
retarded by long continued mild
weather, and also by the fever in
southern districts. Even from that
quarter some large orders lately re-
ceived show better distribution than
was yet expected.
In spite of unseasonably warm
weather, which greatly hinders retail
dealings in winter goods at all points
east of the plains, the large number of
supplementary orders, with urgent
pressure for quick delivery, make it
clear that the sales in many branches
have exceeded the expectation of
dealers, so that replenishment of
stocks is not yet finished.
The buying of iron and steel pro-
ducts, though smaller than of late,
continues to keep works we'll engaged
ahead, and induces others to resume
operations. Both buyers and manu-
facturers find it prudent to limit en-
gagements ahead, and the period of
adjustment will make the industry
safer for some time to come. There
is great pressure for speedy deliveries,
but IN bars and wlresome abatement
of demand, with slightly lower prices

Although the contents of neither
the note from this Government to
Spain nor the Spanish reply are defni-
tely known, the newsm ongsrs in their
hunt for sensation have decided that
the first is 'practlcally an ultimatum"
and the second a "dehance." In
newsmongery, as in other spheres of
human activity, only the first step in
the path of evil-doing is hard. Having
evolved an utimatum and defiance
out of their inner consciousness, the
sensatonalists have unblushingly pro-
phesied "sharp rejoinder" from
Washington to the Spanish reply and
a rupture between the two Govern
ments. Thus business is disorganizeI,
the people are thrown into a fever OF
apprehension and belligerent spirit
is nourished by the work which the
devil inspires an idle correspondent to
do. Ninety-nine per cent of the SEN
sational stories Of Americo-Spanish re-
lations are rubbish, and should be ut.
terly disregarded.-Ee.

BUSINESS DISAPPOINTING

THE TALL HAT.

The crusade against the tall hat,
which was begun in England a year or
more ago by Lord Ronald Cover, is
ended and the "stovepipe" still holds
the field, Lord Ronald having been
routed, horse, foot and dragons. The
crusaders made their final effort when
they appealed to the Prince of Wales.
Knowing that his Highness' word was
law in the world of fashion, they asked
him to signalize his mothers diamond
jubilee by giving his influence to the
movement for the abolition of the tall
hat. But the prince took sides with
the much abused hat and put an end
to the crusade by most decisive action.
Whereas, in past years the prince has
been in the habit of appearing at the
GOOdwOOd races in soft felt hat or
in derby, this year he not only him
self wore a stovepipe hat and black
frock coat, but actually went so far as
to send notes to the admiral and gen
eral in command at Portsmouth, ask
ing them to give orders that all the
officers of their command attending
the Goodwood races should be thus
'coiffed." He likewise, before leaving
London, caused his equerry- wait
| ing to send an intimation to the Turf
the Marlborough Boobies and thu
Guards Clubs requesting that any mem
bers of these institutions going to The
races should wear high hats The roy
al commands were obeyed universally
although very irksome, as the weather
was extremely hot and dusty, and only
two or three very bold spirits venturei
to appear in straw and white felt hats
being frowned upon by the prince fo
their noncompliance with his injunc
tion.-Chicago Record.

M'GEE MILL AT DOLORES.
Mr. EIkiRs Reports shat the New
Plant will Immediately IEake
Trial Hun on 80 Tens OF Can
Etngham Ore.

Mr.. $. Il. Elkius, receiver of the New
Mexico Mining company, in which the
title Of the $4,000 acres composing the
Ortiz Mine grant is vested, came up
from Cerrillos last night on important
business pending before Judge Laughlin
In spite of the fact that he was very
busy, Mr.. Elkins took time to tell New
MEXICAN reporter something about the
new experimental McGee mill that has
been put up on the Cunningham mine at
Dolores and will be started up in a day
or SO.
"The title of the company is the Nc
Gee Milling & Mining company of Sum
merfeld, Kas.," said Mr.. Elkins, "and
President Fleming and four of his asso-
ciates are personally on the ground and
evidently mean business
"Having satisfied myself that the new
process would save the gold on small
SCALE" continued the gentleman, 81 grant
ed the company the privilege of putting
plant on the mill site connected with
the Cunningham mine, with the under
standing that they would treat Cunning
ham ore.
"The mill will start up with capacity
of ten tons per day, but enough machin-
cry is on the ground to increase the ca
pacity of the plant to 100 tons per day if
the trial run on so tons of Cunningham
ore proves satisfactory.
81 am inclined to think that the test
will prove successful" added Mr.. Elkns,
nd mt
plant Of our own on the property. We
have a mountain of gold ore and can
easily supply two large plants. The new
process undertakes to render refractory
ore free milling by roasting and the gold
values are then saved by amalgamation."
Mr.. Elkins holds 99-year lease from
the New Mexico Mining company on the
mine and mill site and natu-
rally awaits the results of the MoGee ex-
pertinent with daily deepening interest.
