RAD CONDITION OF OUR h
SCHOOLS.

If there ever was time when we
need change in our High and
Normal schools it is now, The su-
periutendent, Mr.. Cook who has
been at the head Of the schools for
some time, seem to be subordinate
to the supervising principals. 1t
seems that the superintendent,
should be acquainted with the do
ings of the teachers Cefore the frus-
tees are, If the trustees have any
respect for our superintendent they
would suspend any supervising
principal who would bring a matter
to them before it was first submit
ted to the superintendent.
The BEE is confident that no
supervising principal would dare to
90 over Mr., PoaeIl's head and re
port school matter to trustee.
Some few months ago two teachers
we're suspended because tits alleged
a fastidious supervising principal
thought these ladies meant to in
suit him The matter was reported
to the trustee and not the superin
tendent. We did learn that the
trustee called the attention of the
superintendent to it. Mr.. Cook
was officially ignorant of the mat
ter. The duty of the trustees in
this particular was to have directed
this supervising principal to Mr..
Cook. Mr.. Cook is diplomat and
a gentleman. He should be recog
nized as superintendent or his office
abolished.

Ubiquitous Lumber Tariff.

"The proposed tariff on lumber" the
Roston Transcript (rep.) says, sis SIM
ply measure to pick the pockets and
crush the industry of large. useful
and influential class of American citi-
zens. It is uneconomic, unscientifc.
suicidal. The statements upon which
this schedule was made up are shown
to have been insidious and misleading.
The result will be to strip the country
not OF an annually recurring income.
but OF its white pine principal. which
at present rates is within ten years of
exhaustion. and also to ruin a large
class of business men in this country
who deserve better things. It does not
seem possible that men claiming to
represent the people win permit such
q measure TO have the force of law. II
they do, it win cease to be folly and be-
some iniquity."

some of them have the audacIty to

sesses and not according to law,

The Protectionist Performance.

The following is a part of Exon
gresham John De Witt Warmers criti-
Cism of the Dingley bill:
"As it stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words of the same actors in
the Fifty-frst congress. The Mckinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
"a bill to reduce revenues The Dingley
bill is specially commended as revenue
getter. The Mckinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon
sugar-a single item of the breakfast
table-one-third of the total amount of
the tariff tax proposed. The items
which are supposed to help the farmer
are good examples of so setting your
trap as to 'cotch 'em a-cumin' and a
gwiRe.' For instance, we have reci-
procity in order to give the farmers a
market abroad for what it is assumed
they cannot produce for home con-
sumption unless they are highly pro-
tected. as is done by another section Of
the bill"
The Washington bee., 1897-09-18
womeN,s DRESS GOODS.
VIII Come High When the Dingley
Tax Ii Added.

The extremely high duties which
Dingley proposes to collect from wom-
ems dress goods should be more gen.
erally understood by the women of this
country. 1t is they who must suffer
most because of these duties. Here are
a few samples of the increased duties
taken from a list prepared by Mr.. P. 8.
WorraIl, of the dress goods importing
firm of Fred Butterfeld & Co., of New
York:
"a wool and cotton cloth costing in
England Is. per yard. equal to "a cents
in our money, weighing 16 ounces to
the running yard, costs under the pres
ent tariff 1876 cents per yard, while un-
der the proposed tariff it would cost
81 SIG cents per yard.
"a wool and cotton cloth costing in
England 2s. 4d. per yard. equal to Sc
cents in our money, weighing % ounces
to the running yard. and costing under
the present tariff 1874 cents per yard.
would under the proposed tariff cost
$1.4s5s per yard.
IAN all worsted cloth. costing in
England 2s. Id per yard. equal to so
cents in our money. weighing Is ounces
to the running yard, and costing under
the present tariff 20 cents per yard.
would cost under the proposed tariff
S1.29s per yard.
"a 32-inch black serge Cotton warp).
costing in England SD. per yard.
equal in our money to 1925 nts.weigh-
ing less thar four ounces to the square
yard, costs under the present tariff
22S7 cents per yard. Under the pro-
posed tariff it will cost 30.07 cents per
yard.
"A 27-inch black sicilienne cotton
warp). costing in England 77-sd. per
yard, equal to 1915 cents in our
money. weighing 81 ounces to the run
ming yard, costs under the present tariff
1852 cents per yard. Under the pro-
posed tariff it will cost 1892 cents per
yard"
The Washington bee., 1897-09-18
why Increase the Coal Duty.

Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents ton. The Gngley
bill proposes to make this IS cents. In
1856 tLv imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were 1,243,S35
tons. The exports were 2.246.2S4. Tne
figures from Canada were: Imported
from Nova Scotia. New Brunswick, etc,
123,4O4 tons; from Quebec, Ontario.
etc, 39.9S7; from British Columbia.
627.257; exports to these three divisions
respectively, Alb tons, 1,672,302 and
1904. Canada now proposes in case the
Dingley rate is imposed to retaliate by
a high duty on our coal, which will
certainly not stim1late exports. Here
is an export business worth twice as
much as the corresponding import bust
ness, and it is proposed to rur the risk
of running the former for the sake of
screwing S350.000 taxes out of the lat
ter. and this on the plea of reviving
American industry. Can any sane man
fail to see that, even assuming that
imports do not fall off, it is hardly
worth while for the sake of a paltry
S350,000 to tempt Canada into running
an established business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield the tax?
Yet this is the way in which "the old
thing works"

URGE MODERATION.
woelen Manufacturers Oppose High
Duties ON Wool.

woeIen Manufacturers Oppose High
Duties on Wool.
Some of the severest criticisms not
only of special duties and clauses, but
of the whole accursed protective sys-
tenn. come from the protected manufac-
turers themselves in their struggle with
opposing interests. Mr.. S. n. d. North,
secretary of the Woolen Manufacturers
association, is now and always has been
q stanch protectionist- As such he be
lieves that the 70,O00,000 consumers of
this country are legitimate subjects for
plunder and that the manufacturers
are the proper persons to enjoy the pro-
lection plumber.
The free wool experiment which We
have been trying for three years, be-
sides being an object lesson IN the way
of cheap woolens, has taught the
woolen manufacturers that they can
make as much or more profit with free
wool and moderate protection, which
permits people of moderate means to
wear real woolen goods, than with high
duties on both wool and woolens when
restrict the use of v1oolens to peo-
ple in good circumstances. The manu-
facturers therefore display more than
their usual modesty and patriotism IN
the advice which they are giving to
congress. Mr.. North is IN Washington
to voice the manufacturers patriotism.
Here is part of his advice as taken from
the Washington correspondence OF the
Dry Goods Economist:
lam free to say the bill is far from salts
factory to the wooden manufacturers Tne
chief fault is to be found with the raw
wool duties, which are so high that our
manufacturers will find themselves sorely
embarra ssed. 1t is true the committee mas
provided compensatory duties which are
probably sufficient to Offset the duties on
raw wool, but the difficulty will be, in my
opinion, that the very considerable n
crease in price which must be made TO
cover the additional cost OF raw material
will have the effect of cutting down con-
sumption to an extent that will be disas-
trous to the manufacturers. do not con-
tend that the rates on wooden manufac-
lures in the bill are not sufficient to protect
US against too severe foreign competition,
but the limit of the consumers purchas-
ing power must control him in buying
wooden manufactures, and fear the rates
OF the new VIII very A4dlGA4AAAy AColA4Gh
consumption.
This is practically saying to Dingley.
Aldrich and the other servants of the
protected manufacturers at Washing
ton:
go slow with your high duties and
don't try TO protect too many. If you
let everybody into the protection ring,
there will be nobody outside to prey
upon and we will have to prey upon
each other. Don't make the mistake
Of taxing raw material too high. We
wouldn't mind it if we could sell our
goods and charge the tax over to the
consumer. But when the tax is so high
that We have to make our prices almost
out of sight we have found thatwe can
not sell so many goods because the peo-
pie can't afford to wear clothes-that
is, wooden clothes, which are the only
cnes worth considering, because they
are the only ones which we manufac-
ture. Our solicitude for the dear Amer
lean consumer is such that we do not
wish to compel him to clothe himself in
