THE MERIT SYSTEM.
Secretary Longs Circular in Regard
to the Employment of Labor

That Secretary Long is a consistent and
practical advocate of the merit system
is shown by the following letter he has
addressed to the commandants of all the
navy yards for the government of the
employment of labor:
Complaint has been made that favorit-
ism has been practiced by the board of
labor employment at the various yards in
taking On laborers and mechanics; also
that favoritism is practiced when dis
charges are Necessary for lack of work
etc, and that the spirit and letter of the
labor regulations are not carried out
wv hen the system of employing mechan-
les and laborers upon merit first went into
effect 1t was reasonable to suppose that
tions would make some mistakes and
that occasionally the department would
be called upon to make rulings and amend
ments to the rules, but they have been In
force now for such period of time as to
prevent the recurrence of such mistakes
By careful and conscientious study OF
navy yard order No. %, revised any official
charged with administering the rules should
be familiar enough with their spirit and
letter to guard against errors of miscon-
struction- Favoritism will not be allow ed
1T is the intention OF the department
to enforce fairly and justly the regulations
promulgated, and to disarm unjust
criticism 1t is necessary that the atten-
ton of each official at the yard under
your command be called to what Is ex.
pected of him. as to the certainty of pun
ishment if any person intrusted with the
enforcement of the labor regulati vio-
lates them or fails, through carelessness
or negligence, to perform the duties eX-
pected and required of him.
The department desires you to personally
communicate to officials at the yard under
your command its views as expressed
above"

DUTIES ON SHIPS SUPPLIES.
A Question Raised by Steamship
Company Not Yet Decided.


The Secretary of State has received dis
patch from the United States consul at
Bremen stating in effect that on account of
duties imposed transshipments of ships
supplies in New York the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company is about to
complete arrangements for making such
transshipments at Genoa, and therefore
will cease to purchase it's food supplies in
the United States. The sole cause for the
proposed change, the consul reports, is
that a duty is imposed on supplies which
the company transships at the port Of New
York from their Bremen vessels to those
of their Mediterranean fleet which meet
them there. AS the supplies SO taxed at
New YORK are not landed in the United
States, but transshipped simply from one
vessel to another, and since they are all
consumed, not in the United States, but on
the high seas and since the supplies con-
sumed are, In part, produced in the United
States, the company think the duty i'm
posed is unnatural and unfair. The amount
OF food supplies purchased in the United
States Is said to have averaged between
l,5O0,OOO and 100000 marks per year.
The act of March ), 1897, provides that
Sea stores and the legitimate equipment
OF vessels belonging to regular lines plying
between foreign ports and the United
States delayed In port for any cause may
be transferred In such port of the United
States. under the supervision of the Gus
toms officers, from one vessel to another
vessel OF the same owner without pay
ment or duties, but duties must be paid
on such stores or equipments landed for
consumption. except American products"
Whether or not this act will apply to the
conditions complained of by the North Ger
man Lloyd Company has not yet been de-
cided by the treasury officials, but a con-
struction Of the law probably win be an
noufced very soon In view Of the con-
tenplateu action of the German line.

dollar appropriations. which have become
such a scandal upon Congress, had its Or
igin in the unjust system of levying taxes
for the purpose Of enabling private inter-
ests to prey upon the public through the
favoritism of the law"
1t Fosters Trusts.
'The Bill Fosters Trusts is another head
line. which is explained as follows:
If the system of unnecessary taxation
is indefensible because of the extrava-
gance which it encourages, it is still more
so on account of the trusts which it fosters
and promotes. 1t Is not more certain pro-
lection encourages extravaganza than It Is
that 1t breeds unlawful combinations OF
capital. Indeed. protection is justified upon
the avowed theory that competition should
be restricted. True enough 1t assumes the
patriotic pretense that foreign competition
ought not to be permitted against our home
industries; but they little understand the
selfishness of human nature, and espe-
cially they little understand the selfish
ness of that human nature which relies
upon the favoritism of the law to increase
its fortune, who suppose that these men,
having secured themselves against foreign
competition by the favor Of Congress, will
fail to secure themselves against domestic
competition by voluntary combinations
among themselves.
1t is an old adage, and 1t is as true as
1t is old. that competition is the life Of
trade. and whatever tends to restrict COM
petition must tend to restrict trade. The
majority of the committee seem to think it
an easy matter for US to build tariff wall
about our borders. and thus prevent the
foreigners from trading with us; but they
forget that the same wall which shuts the
foreigner out shuts in, and that regula-
tions to prevent the foreigner from trading
with us must at the same time prevent us
from trading with the foreigner.
I'VE believe in the principles of compe-
tition, and We believe that the people of
the United States can successfully COM
pete against all other people of the world !;
and We denounce as a crime against the
best interests of our people any law which
leaves the consumers of this land subject
to the exactions of reckless and corrupt
combinations formed to destroy compe,i-
ton and control prices"

THE FIRST NIGHT SESSION.
Tariff Debate Made Lively by POpulist
Green of Nebraska.


The night session of the House for de-
bate on the tariff bill was to have begun
at o'clock last night. Speaker Reed had
designated Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois to Off
ciate in his stead but Mr.. Hopkins had
forgotten the appointment, and at o'clock
there were twenty-five members on the
floor and several hundred spectators in the
galleries waiting for the entertainment to
begin. Messengers were sent after Mr.
Hopkins, and at $40 he appeared and call
ed the House to order. About seventy-five
members were scattered through the seats
a majority OF them new members, of the
democratic side, and most of the speakers
were from the ranks of the newcomers.
The flrst orator was Mr.. Robinson Und.)
who called the ways and means commit
tee the agents of trusts, and said there mad
been halo of trusts around the commit
tee, which was reflected in the bill.
A new character surprised the House in
the person of Mr.. Green (Neb), a free and
easy speaker, who dealt in scriptural quo
tations and attacked the Cleveland ad-
ministration fercely. He was accusing the
republicans with trying to befool the farm
ers through high tariffs on corn, wheat
and other products. which were not i'm
ported, when several republicans sought to
overcome his argument by questions.
He Was asked by Mr.. Mitchell On. y
What relief do the populists propose for
the farmers?'
TO go back to the money of the Consti-
tuition you took away from them,'' was the
answer Mr.. Green was describing the con-
diticn of the farmers with the hands Of
the spoiler in their pockets. when another
inquired, Whose hands have been in their
pockets?"
The hands of the protected monopoists
and trusts of the east" shouted Mr.. Green
whereupon Mr.. Simpson (kan) yelled glea-
fully. ASK him another one
Another one was asked by Mr.. Morris
(Minn.). who desired to know what harm
the republican party had done the farmer
You seek to make the things the farmer
and laborer have to buy higher-thats the
object Of this bill.'' said Mr.. Green, and
happy
The speech was sprinkled with repartee
and was enthusiastically applauded by the
democrats and Dopulists.
Mr.. Carmack (Tenn.). who defeated Jo-
siah Patterson, the gold democratic can
dldate. asserted that the last campaign had
been won solely on the issue Of single
gold standard. and that Cleveland, Car
Isle and those people" had not voted for
high protective tariff
Mr. Brucker tMich) said that the in
crease of duty on pine from the McKin-
ley rate of 81 to 81 thousand feet was in
the interest of few lumber magnates of
Michigan. who would make a correspond
ing Increase in the price to the consumer
Another motive of the increase was to
drive Canada to put an export bounty on
logs ard thus give the entire market to
the Michigan men. The rebates on salt
ard lumber, he asserted were in the in
terest of the Armours and the Standard
OH Company in return for campaign con-
trtDutlofS. There were no more speakers
ana at 1890 the House adjourned.

Straight Goods.

A Chicago minister who was criticized
because he grubstaked a miner who

reply to his censors that is well worth
recording. Among other true things he
says:
"The fact is l admire miners wealth.
It's clean. There are no blood or tears
on it. 1t is acquired away from tt e
scheming and the cut throat competition
that characterize the success of one man
so often means the disaster and downfall
of some other man. Nobody has been
pinched. Nobody has been wronged.

ground has the satisfaction that he
hasn't robbed sonl, even though he

A QUESTION OF MANNERS

Emperor William, 10 one of those mighty
ring to the trouble between Germany and
Hayti, let loose this gem: "rhey are con-
temptible crowd of negroes, slightly inocu
lated with French civilization. My school
ships, even though only manned by boys
will teach them manners" The question
Of manners plays prominent part in the
humiliation To which Hayti has been sub
jected by Germany, and Emperor William
aud all the Others concerned in this not very
credtat lie affair appear to be the ones who
are mostly in need Of a few lessons 10 man
ners They have given an exhibition OF
very bad manners throughout the entire
proceedings. Ia the first place it was not
good manners for Emil Lueders, the cause
of the trouble, 10 50 misbehave himself in
Ha, ii that the police had to arrest him for
dsorderly conduct, the same rs is done with
any other offender. Then it was lar worse
manners for Count Schwerin, the German
charge d. affaires in Hayti, to rush into the
presence OF the Haytian president, and in
the most OfntaI anu iuSoient way uemanu
the immediate release of Lueders, who, ii is
asserted, is a citizen Of Hayti and not of
Germany.
Il was bad manners for the German EN-.
peror TO take advantage of the weakness
and helplessness Of the black republic To
play the staggering bully aud humiliate it
as be hes done without deigning to listen TO
a word of explanation, and totally ignoring
q polite diplomatic request from Hsyti for
an investigation OF the case. This was en-
tirely contrary to International usage. But
The very worst display Of bad manners was
hat Of the Emperor William when be as
,pred the United States ambassador that no
lssty, summary or unjust action was in-

tended by him Toward IIayti, while at the
same time his warships were on their way
TO Port au Prince to enforce his unjust de.
mands. In other words, he was guilty Of
the most fragrant deception toward this
country, piece of deception, in fact, that
only the fake foot.rac descends to when he
gives man what is known in sporting par.
lance as the double cross" Emperor Will
liam has nothing to boast of on the score of
manners in this Haytian affair.
