TARIFF AND SELF INTEREST.
Protection Operates I'm Favor oi
Home Industry.


Low-tar,n men who prefer external
trade to any other kind do not relish
Mr.. Dingley's blunt statement that the
new tariff was made for Americans and
will not be revised for foreigners. But
il is applauded by every citizen who
knows how much more important TO
the welfare of this country il thriving
domestic trade than large external
one. and how much more wealth is now
involved IN the support of the former
than the cultivation OF the latter. IL
everything were subordinated to the
foreign commercial idea. this country
in course o. time would find itself chiefly
engaged in raising staples and eNchang-
ing them for manufactured articles, in
which respect il would resemble China.
On the other hand, an impenetrable
wall. il raised about the United States.
would inclose marvellous and multi
plying prosperity. The embargo of our
early days tied up ships and rottcd
wharVes. TO be sure. but the other effect
was TO expand internal resources and
stimulate every form of domestic en-
crgy. y manufacturing class grew up
which took the farm products that for
merly went abroad. Even jefferson
Davis. a radical free trader. confessed
that the federal blockade had been Il
blessing to the domestic industries of
the south. Had the south won. and free
trade, which. was established by its
constitution, not been given up. that
country to-day would be little more
than barony, inhabited by fcudal mas
tiers and their slaves. without progress
or real thrift, and counting as com
mercial dependency of England. We
want no tributary status. and that is
the reason. chief of all. why the ex-
pertinent with a low tariff was so short
lived.
The United States has an internal
trade, which at the period Of the last
census amounted TO seventy billions of
dollars, the foreign trade at the same
time amounting To less than two bill
lions, or. TO he exact, to $l,762 20. 60j.
This was i'm 1890. IA time of general pros
perity. IL is this seventy billions OF
trade which we must look ont for. We
cannot have both kinds and are forced
to choose the most profitable. The free
trader, if he had his way. would have
left America dependent upon Wales for
tin plate. That is 10 say, we should
have given an immense prosperity to
the Welsh manufacturing district in
exchange for articles of common use
But protection stepped in and lets us
have the articles and the prosperity "a
well. That is bad for Wales. but what
has that principally done to deserve
self-sacritice at our hands of tens of
millions of dollars of domestic revenue?
Enlightened self-interest, the NOV
ing cause of all material prosperity. APP
proves the Dingley bill, and it seems
very doubtful now dhat any party
strong enough to secure control of the
government will ever blind itself to the
truth of that assumption. The world is
getting away from free trade, and is
likely to stay away. Even England is
beginning To adopt quasi-protection
for articles of food which she is able to
produce in sufficient quantity for her.

BRYANISM IN IOWA.
The Republicans Are StiII I'm the As
ccnuant.

The decision of the Iowa state cleo
ton board that the middle of the road"
Populist faction have the right to put
ticket in the field under their regular
party name deals a hard blow to the
Bryanite cause in the Hawkeye state.
This will give the populist straight
outs status which the fusionist end OF
their party, actively aided by the
democracy, attempted to deprive them
of, allow them to make the canvass
under the party name of populists, and
will undoubtedly enable them to poll
many votes which otherwise would 90
TO the fusionist ticket. This action OF
the election board, to be sure, will be
received by the state supreme court in
October, but the propriety of the deci-
sion is so obvious that it is likely to be
affirmed by that tribunal.
OF course the election boards ruling
must be based ON the principle that an
element of party, even though in the
majority, which fuses with another or.
ganization IN any campaign forfeits the
right, while the fusion lasts, to claim
the party name, and the name reverts
10 the faction of the party which rejects
the coalition and, sticking TO the
party's old creed, puts n ticket in the
field and determines to support il i'm
the election. The men heretofore call
ing themselves populists in Iowa have
split into two bodies, one body Of which
has entered into an alliance with the
democrats under the democratic name,
and the other ofwhich has put a straight
ticket in nomination. ManifestIy, how
ever, the former has ceased to be popu-
list so long as the fusion lasts, and the
element which sticks to its principles
and its affiliations is the only one which
is entitled to the party designation.
Thus the Bryanite coalition of 1896 in
Iowa as in Ohio is divided, and its vote
as consequence will be cut down many
thousands. In both states the populists
will this year be fighting against the
democrats instead Of as last year. fight
ing for them. Many populists in Iowa
will stuck 20 the fusion ticket, but the
faction which has rejected IL will prob
ably poll from 10000 to 10000 votes.
McKinlcy's plurality in Iowa I'm 1896
was $4,000 against the entire demo
craticpopulist coalition, and this year.
when many thousands Of the populists
will be supporting a ticket OF their own,
the republicans are sure to have long
lead. The activity OF the gold demo

He said the company he spoke Of was
able and ready to complete the road, pro-
vided the public would take the majority
interest in it and that the public need
not put up one cent until the railroad
should be completed,
The proposition is that the States aud
municipalities shall hold the majority OF
stock. The men associated with him did
not propose to take in any outside capt.
tai, save that Of the States and municipal
tiles, which would be in the majority, and
they proposed to run the road them
selves, or to allow the majority interests
to run it.
The stocks and bonds of the company
it is proposed to issue through the Texas
Railroad Commissioners or the Commits
sioners Of the other States owning it, as
might be agreed.
Prominent Texans, the Governor said,
have expressed willingness TO take hold
Of the scheme, and he believes that Texas
is willing toinvest some Of her $29, 100000
Of surplus school funds in securing more
equitable freight rates.

victs in Texas could be put TO work on

A NEW RAIN SIGNAL.
Kites Floating Two Miles Above the Earth
Used for Weather FOreCasting.


WASHINGTON, May 2G,--The most
significant development for years in
weather forecssting, making it possible
to forecast for a period at least sixteen
hours earlier than at present and more
accurately, has been attained by the
Weather Bureau and will soon become
practical.
This is the result Of experiments with
kites flown at distances one to two miles
above the surface of the earth. Daily
readings have been taken at this alti-
tude, and the fact has been established
that the shifting Of the wind occurs at
level of a mile above the earth's surface
and from ten to sixteen hours before
the same change Of direction occurs be-
low. This is due to the same forces
which operate to cause wind shifts to
produce storm, one condition being de-
pendent upon the other.
The most imperfect part of weather
forecasts now is the prediction Of rain
or snow. Meteorologists for the past ten
years have been impressed with the fact
that the future data as to storms must
come from knowledge Of upper air con-
ditions. The aeroplane Investigations
have reached that point where it can be
safely stated that within six months the
Government Weather Bureau, for the
first time in its history, can construct
telegraph synchronis chart based On air
conditions one mile above the earth.
The chart will cover the conditions be.
tween the Alleghenies and the Rockies
at the outset.
Chief Moore says this step probably
will mark a new epoch in the weather
forecasting problem, With these high
level readings the bureau will have the
moisture contents Of the upper strata
as well as the lower. 1t will be seen how
important this double information is
when it is considered that two strata of
air may, by shifting OF the wind, become
mixed within twenty. -four hours and that
the precipitation will depend upon the
average moisture of the mass.

tions made by this congress Of the
convention signed in Vienna in 1901 and
which will be replaced on January ],
1899, by the treaty just agreed upon, are
as follows:
First, the taxes on territorial and mari
time transit are to be gradually lessened
every two years and the abatement Of
these expenses will be considerably
simplified.
Second, international postal cards not
prepaid will pay double tax in place Of
assessing later postage rates, thus reduc-
ing the fee for letters not prepaid from
10 cents to 4 cents.
Third, samples Of merchandise are
allowed in exchanges with countries Of

FIRST BLOOD ON THE TARIFF
The Republicans Carry Their Point by a
Vote Of "a to 20.

NVbO va ot w SV
WASHINGTON, May 2-As soon as the
second page of the tariff bill was reached
a contest arose over the amendment
proposed by the Finance Committee
raising the duty on boracic acid from 4
to 5 cents per pound.
Mr.. Vest of Missouri moved to substi-
tute 3 cents. He characterized the action
Of the committee as remarkable and said
the proposed duty of cents was enor-
nous.
Mr. AldriCh replied that the proposed
rates were regarded as proper protec-
tion to the producers Of the article in
Nevada and California, and the persons
engaged in the production held thatthis
rate was essential.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas presented a
prospectus of an English company set
ting forth that it was about to purchase
and consolidate the borax lands and
plants in Nevada, California and Oregon.
The prospectus also stated the large
profits made by the American companies.
Mr.. Jones said he read this answer to
Mr.. Aldrich's statement that more pro-
lection was required. Mr., Jones stated
that crude bOrax from the United States
was selling at profit in London at less
than 2 cents per pound, and yet there
was the "audacity" of coming to the
United States Senate and asking pro
lection of cents a pound. 1t was not
a time, said Mr.. Jones, when the Senate
should swell the profits of an English
monopoly,
Mr.. Aldrich answered that there were
many borax companies outside Of the
English companies. Some Of them had
been compelled to shut up as. a result Of
the Wilson tariff law.
'"They were shut up" asserted Mr..
Jones, "because it would not be profita-
ble to the monopoly to shut up the other
companies"
Mr., White Dem. Cal member of the
Finance Committee, said that in the dis
tribution of favors by this bill he desired
to have his State receive q share. He had
been assured by those interested that
there was not word Of truth in the
statement that American fields were con-
trolled by an English company. He had
some personal information as to borax
productions of California. The negotia-
tions for a sale had failed.
Mr.. White gave it as his opinion that
il the policy of this bill was to be main
tanned, then the rate could not be low
cred and afford adequate protection to
the American companies. He said he
would vote for the committee rate.
Mr.. Jones answered Mr.. White, devel-
oping some divergence of views between
these two minority members of the
Finance Committee.

toward the bill has been subject Of in
