THE DINGLEY TARIFF.

Commentator from Republicans and
Responses to Democratic Criticism.
The Democratic contemporaries that
refer to the measure rs a poorly d.
gested piece Of legislation do not point
out that the Ways and Means Commit
tee had been Mt work on the measure
fully three months before the bill was
reported. They forget, also, to state
that during it's consideration by that
committee everybody sufficiently inter
ested to seek a hearing on the subject
was given a hearing by the committee,
and that the long period from the time
the committee began it's work until 1t
reported was one Of practically contin-
nous suggestion, comparison and dis
cussion.-Pittsburg Commercial Ga
zette.
Commenting on the Dingley bill, the
full text of which has been published
in Germany, a leading Berlin journal
says:
IF this bill becomes a law Europe,
especially Germany, must feel 1t to be
an intentional blow In the face. A large
part Of our exports are thereby prohib-
tied and another part are rendered ex-
tremely difficult. Many Of our indus
tries will be forced to reorganize com
pletely their system Of production,
raise the quality Of their goods and
specialize. This will require a period
of experiments and delays. In the
meanwhile much Of the commerce and
Industry will be lost"
This is pitiful. indeed. from a German
standpoint, although 1t does not much
differ in horrors from what the enemies
Of the bill say about Its effect here at
honest. Louis Star.
What Professor Wilson has to say
concerning the tariff Is Of interest to
no one, except, possibly, himself. His
own district repudiated him in 1894,
aud at the same time the country repu.
dated the theories and lmbecilities OF
the whole cuckoo" school. Mr.. vii.
son Is in a political graveyard. and he
should observe the proprieties of the

MAYAEw's RULING QUESTIONED
Supreme Court VIII Pass Upon His
DeCisiOu.

Pierre, April 2G.-At the beginning of
Auditor Mayhew's term he issued an or
Ter tina no expense vouchers would be
audited unless the same were accompa-
nied by receipts for all moneys expend-
ed. This has caused n great deal OF
dissatisfaction. as the state officers hold
that an itemiZed account of expendi-
lures, supported by afiidavits is all
that Is required.
The first open objection to this ruling
comes from the railroad commission
ers, who appeared before the supreme
court yesterday morning by their attor-
neys asking for an order to show cause
why their expense vouchers should not
be audited without being accompanied
by receipts. The order has been grant
ed, and Is made returnable Thursday

STOCkMEN FILE THEIR BRANDS
Law as to the Meeting OF the Com
missioners IL Obscure,

Pierre, April 26.-Since the governor
has appointed the state brand commits
%sioners, there will probably be a large
number OF brands filed in the secre-
.ary's office. The law in regard to the
time when the commission shall meet
to pass upon brands Is rather obscure.
II first provides for two meetings each
year, but sets no time for meeting be-
fore January, 1898, when the secretary
s authorized TO call them together. I'm
I'll the time OF the first meeting OF the
commission the brands which are sent
n will be simply filed in the secretary's
)iIice, but not registered until they
have been passed upon by the commits
sion at its first meeting. Quite a mum
Der Of brands have been filed, most OF
hem so far having been sent from Pen
nington county, and a few have come In
rom Stanley county. The stockmen
will undoubtedly take full advantage OF
he law as soon as II Is In full opera
:ion, and some of the best posted among
hem estimate hat at least 1000 differ

The first Peoples party Legislature
Of Kansas has adjourned after a ses-
sion that has been a great disappoint-
ment to those radical and rabid re-
formers who have thought the over
throw Of the Republicans would be a
good thing for the State. But the So
called Populist victory of last fall was
based mainly on fusion of diverse ele-
ments, and when the Legislature got
together it was found that while the
Republicans were in a minority, yet
there was such sharp division Of senti-
ment among the so-called Populists
that it was impossible to carry out the
promises made during the campaign,
and the Legislators have gone home to
talk 1t over with their constituents and
to explain the situation.-Kansas City

Protection to Shipping.

Gradually we excluded foreign ships
from our coastwise trade by prohibit
tive tonnage dues and finally in 1917
we absolutely prohibited, by law, for
eign vessels from engaging in any
trade between American ports. The
consequence of this more than century,
old prohibitive protection of our domes-
tic shipping is that we have the largest
domestic water-borne commerce in the
whole world, Il freight charges for
inland water-borne transportation are
lower than anywhere else in the world,
and the magnitude of our shipping Is
only equaled by its utility, its safety
and its beauty. Why not do as well by
our foreign shipping?

Our Heavy Loss.

Few people In the United States are
aware Of the fact that the carrying ca
pacity of American vessels in the for
eign trade of the United States-that Is
to say, the tonnage of our own vessels
carrying our own imports and exports
lis less In 1897 than 1t was in 1907.
Such is, however, the fact. The value
Of the imports and exports Of the Uni
ted States has increased t~wenty-fold,
and yet there Is a slightly less aggre-
gate Of American tonnage in our for
eign trade now than there was ninety
years ago. Such comparisons as this
strikingly convey to our minds what a
fearful loss the nation suffers from the

they should, instead OF wrought iron
pipes, as they do for the sake Of cheap
