about 40 years old and had every

The deeper the Dingley tariff bill
in its original form is looked into,
says the Dry Goods Economist, the
less satisfactory does it appear.
There are doubtless people who are
pleased with its provisions and arc
prepared to defend it on account of
the care which it takes of their inter
ests, but we can make the some
what remarkable statement that we
have thus far found no one in the
trade who has given the bill careful

News from Washington is to the
effect that Il revival of the spoils sys-
tenn is proposed by certain Republic
can congressman, Il scheme born since
the new administration came in. In
June, 1896, the Republican national
convention said: "Thc civil service
law was placed on the Statute-book
by the Republican party, which has
always sustained it, and we renew
our repeated declarations that it shall
be thoroughly and honestly enforced
and extended wherever practicable"
The merit system bears pretty strorg
Republican endorsement. but it's en-
tension under Democratic admin
lstratlon accounts tor the opposition
to it now.
The Age was IN error in stating
that the duty on steel rails fixed by
the Dingley tariff bill is Sill ton;
the proposed duty is So short ton.
But as American manufacturers are
now successfully competing in for
cign markets. selling rails in all
parts of the world, the rate proposed
still seems quite understandable.
Says the Boston Herald:
"a dollar ton would be prohibi-
tory III all parts of the country, en-
ccpt possibly the Pacific slope.
When no steel rails are imported, it
is obvious that no revenue can be
obtained bv the continuance of the
tax, and its onl v object can be to
form, to the extent of its imposition,
a barrier which will permit Amcri-
can manufacturers engaged in the
making of steel rails to combine to-
gether and put up their prices far
above what they need to be for the
purposes of ordinary profit, and vet,
in spite of these extraordinary prices,
hold their market, at least to the ex-
tent of 81 Il short ton, against the in
coming of the ordinarily higher
priced steel rails made in foreign
countries
