real purpose is to exclude not only Ameri-
can meats, but any and all American prod
ucts that threaten to compete with German
and French and Belgian and Dutch seri-
cultural or Industrial products. Were this
sought to be accomplished openly by a
tariff so high as to be exclusive the United
States could not complain, for it might
respond in kind, but, as now applied. the
prohibitive rules are clearly an unjust dis
criminat ton.
If this is met by retaliation on our part,
as seems inevitable. just as we were obliged
to retaliate against Germany for discrim-
mating charges on American shipping, the
outcome can be viewed only with disoues
and apprehension.
Secretary Olnev also left to his successor
as an unpleasant legacy the negotiations

regulations which have choked the life

CAUSED WHEAT TO GO Up.
New Complications In the Cretan
SitnatiOn.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Wheat opened
strong and higher this morning. Unques-
tionably the important factor was the new
complications in the Cretan situation, to
which cause was assigned sharp break
in British consols. Liverpool cables also
reported an advance of 2a3 1-2d. in spot
wheat and l I'D. in options, and wet
weather over the wheat belt was reported
and cold wave approaching. The result
was that May, which closed steady at

gradually back to 75 IS. Northwestern re-
oeipts were 29s cars against 1870 last week
and 331 last year. Corn displayed more
life and firmness. There was considerable
buying by firms who had grain in the
burned Peoria elevator, but when wheat

command the entire building. The

national peace, when the police estab-

tardy to prevent destruction of public
property. To guard against such con
tingeneies General Miles strenuously
advocates the equipment Of the Treas
ury building in Washington. the sub
treasures in the various cities and
other similar buildings with a few
pieces of effective ordnance to be di-
rected against an advancing mob.
Some of these buildings. the Mint, for
Instance. have for some years contain

the clergy, and 95S for occupied males
in the aggregate. The mortality from
alcoholism among railroad employees
and stokers is the same as among the
clergy, or only 2, while among guards,
porters, and pointsmen it is 5, which is
still considerably less than half the
standard figure for occupied males,
An excellent place in the tables is held
by agriculturists, including farmers and
laborers, justifying the belief that an
active life in the open air will do much
to neutralize the effects of exposure to
cold and wet. The liquor trades are
very fatal to those who are engaged in
them; and curiously enough the NOR
tality among butchers is exceedingly
high. Their comparative figure is 1,o96,
so that, roughly speaking, in an equal
number of both, two butchers would
die to single clergyman. With regard
to the causes Of these great variations
in the mortality of different classes Of
workers DR.. latham inclines to the be-
lief that the abuse of alcohol Is the
chief cause Of excessive death-rate.
