A PAPER TRUST,

When tariff protected trust pinches
an esteemed Republican contemporary
it is just as likely to make its growl as
the veriest free trader in the land. The
Pittsburg Gazette" objects to the paper
and wood pulp combine that is seeking
an advance in the duties on paper and
on pulp, out of which paper is made.
There is trust in process of formation
that will blossom forth just as soon as
the higher tax is leveled, and the fruit
blossom will be more expensive reading
to every person who takes a book, q
magazine, or a paper. These paper and
pulp mills are doing well enough now,
but let them get the higher tariff they
are after and paper will go up in price.
There is millions in it for the proposed
paper trust. Still we do not see that it is
any worse to have tariff protected
trust in paper than in pig iron, steel
rails, billets, wooden goods, structural
steel, wire nails, or any Of the other
needs Of life. The Gazette" squeals in
the free trade direction when it finds
itself hurt. Protected bya high tariff,
the steel rail mills are now selling rails
to American railroads two and three
dollars a ton higher than they sell to
foreigners. That is, the American peo-
pie are taxed to give the foreigner
cheaper rails. We suggest to the
Gazette" this is great deal worse than
can be alleged against the paper trust

SENATOR sHERMAN'S ToRTUoUS
COURSE.

The following statement Of facts is
vouched for by the New York Evening
POST" and would seem to confirm the
report that Senator Sherman has seen
his best days
According to the arraignment, Senator
Sherman has been as tortuous and
changeable on the Cuban as on the
financial question. In the later part of
1895 he went over the papers in the
Cuban case with Secretary Olney, and
from all The evidence before them the
two Statesmen agreed that the so-called
Cuban rivil government was "grotesque"
and had only paper existence, precise.
ly as President Cleveland declared in
his late message. Following this Mr..
Sherman experienced an entire change
of heart, and year ago made the
strongest pro.Cuban speech delivered in
the Senate. He was in line with Morgan,
of Alabama, and Mills, of Texas. Re.
Gently, when the Cameron resolution
for recognition was before his committee
on foreign relations, Secretary Olney
was called before the committee and
stated the facts on which the govern
ment's policy was based. Mr.. Sherman
followed this by calling Oh the State de.
partment the same day and declaring
that he entirely agreed with the admins
tration, and that the Presidents
message on Cuban affairs was exactly to
his liking.
In the course of one day he changed
from approval Of the Presidents posi-.
ton against recognition, and agreed to
report the Cameron resolution recognize
ing Cuban independence. Soon. came
the talk of his appointment to the cabi-
net, and Mr.. Sherman, in an authorized
interview, declared that the Cameron
resolution was a mistake and that he
should oppose it in the Senate. Senator
Cameron has given up all idea of press
ing his resolution to vote, as he stated
in an interview few days ago. Senator
Sherman's antagonism has quite likely
had much to do with Senator Cameron's
surrender. All this certainly reminds
one Of Senator Sherman's frequent and
contradictory utterances and course on
tie financial question. 1t will be re-
membered that he was the father of the
silver purchasing law of 1890, and in
1893 at the extra session he urged and
voted for its repeal, claiming that revi-
val of business would surely follow
at once. Senator Sherman is not the
only gold bug who has been somewhat
crooked in these respects. In fact the
course of the Republican party in finan.
cial ways has been one of deception
and fraud

makers great store stretches from
street to street. So fierce was the
flame and so strong the wind which
aided its destructive work that even
this building, distant the width OF
Market street, was saved almost by a
miracle from total destruction and Mr..
Wanamaker places his loss at 800, 900.
The total loss is variously estimated
at from 81 ,000,0 900 to $4,000, 900, but in
the chaos and confusion now existing it
is all but impossible to secure accurate
figures. The losses are very generally
covered by insurance.
The fire originated in the basement
Of the six story building, extending
from 1909 to 1877 Market street, occu-
pied in the lower floors by Hanscom
Bros, grocers, and above by the um-
brella factory of Hirsch Bros. The
smoke was discovered by policeman,
who promptly turned in an alarm, but
the fire made such headway that before
the engines could be put to work the
building was mass of flames. With
uncomfortable rapidity it then spread
In all directions, destroying about 30
buildings before it had been finally
controlled. The fire reached the big
tower of Wanamaker's store about an
hour after it started and the energies
of the department were concentrated
upon saving that building. The tower
was entirely destroyed and other dam
age done.

bers of the committee are warm in their
praises of the secretary's ability, and of
his cool bearing and good nature as
we'll. For a short time the Senators had
him on the stand and cross examined
him, but the Secretary showed them he
was quite as apt as witness as in the
role of a lawyer. 1t is remarkable fact
that many Senators did not know the
rudiments Of the treaty till they were
explained to them by Mr.. Olney. 1t is
admitted on all sides that the Secretary's
speech to the committee has improved
the chances of an early ratification at

that the treaty will be ratified before

According to reports from London,
Senator Wolcott is not pleased with the
outlook for his silver mission. He finds
much opposition to England taking a
leading part in calling an international
conference, and the same Is true of the
other leading nations in Europe. They
believe the United States should start
the movement, with well defined silver
policy to submit to an international
conference to be called by this country.
The United States being the greatest
silver producing country, ought to take
the lead.
