act provides that hereafter all treaties
or conventions which affect the GUS
toms Of the island must be special. IL
Spain wishes to let in one or more prod
ucts of some country free of tax, she
can do so, and if the fiscal rate is to
be lowered or the differentiai rate re-
moved, there must be a special nego-
tiation and convention had. We are
told that, as affecting the interests Of
this country, the new rates on wheat
are $120 regular and $3.50 differential
per 100 kilos (22O46 pounds, and on
wheat -four $50 regular and $2.45 diff
ferentia1, with similar discrimination
on a number of other articles.
The significance of this is the recog-
milton by Spain of the real spirit OF
protection by tariffs and the contradic-
ton of that spirit by those provisions
that mitigate it's severity, known as
''nost favored nation clauses and
reciprocity" 1t is a recognition that
the spirit is that of war, none the less
implacabIe that the implements used

guns and shells. War seeks to gain
benefits by inflicting upon the enemy
the greatest possible amount of injury.
Commercial war, operating through
tariffs, aims at precisely the same end.
Hamper, destroy where you can, The
trade and commerce Of every other
country that dares compete with your
own. If your measure sends thousands
of innocent workers to starvation, ie-
joice at the losses Of the enemy" as
you would over a conflict On the san
culinary field. 1t is only from this point
of view that we can understand the
joy and pride with which our protec-
tionists hailed the destruction 'af the
pearl button industry of Austria by the
Mckinley tariff, with the ensuing mis-
cry among the button makers, or COM
prehend their similar rejoicing over
the miseries Of the tin plate workers in
Wales. 1t is war, relentless, cruel,
heartless war, and the spirit it breeds
is that of war.
All favored nations and reciprocity
provisions deny and contradict the
logic of protection. They are sulren-
ders more or less complete of it. They
admit that reduction of taxation is ben
eficial, while protection insists that it
is Injurious If we are to have COM
mercial war, let it be war and not
dawdling. We would prefer free trade
as logically applied, but the War party
is in power, and we insist it also shall
stand by its logic. We hail the action

TO RECOGNIZE DIPLOMAS
From the State Unigersity's Depart
ment OF Pedagogy.

At the meeting of the state high
school board, held yesterday in the
Office of Supt. Pendergast, there was
some discussion on the question as to
whether a certificate Of graduation
from the department of pedagogy in
the state university be accepted by the
board as fulfilling the requirements
every high school teacher shall have,
thus constituting a first-class certi1i-
cate. 1t was finally decided in the
affirmative.
The board issued special permits for
the term of one year to Miss Edith
NJ. Young, assistant in the high school
at Detroit, and to Julia Johnson, as
sistant in the high school at C1oquet.
Supt. Pendergast reports that there
will be a very large number of district
schools to avail themselves of the state
aid of $50 each, which is given under
certain conditions-that the teachers
have first grade certificates, the schools
continue in session eight months
year and that they be supplied with
maps, charts, globes, etc. There are
1000 of these schools in the state, and
as the fund is only large enough for
400 Of them, the competition is keen
among them Insecure it, and consider
able Improvement is noticed among
them. Many of these schools are con-
templating adopting the free text book
system.

THE "MosT FAVORED NATION,

A Washington dispatch says that
Spain has promulgated a new tariff
for Cuba which authorizes the imposi-
ton of an additional so per cent tax on
imports from any country whose gen
eral tariff prejudices the products Of
Spain by adding to the regular duties
a differential. The rates are arranged
in two columns, the one designated as
the fiscal tax, the other and larger enc
the differential tax to be laid on i'm
ports from countries that are assn ned
to discriminate against SPANS prod
ucts This feature is incorporated for
the purpose Of countering the effects
of the Dirgley act and to put Spain
in a position to dicker with this coun
try over the rates that shall be mutual
iy imposed. This is but in keeping with
our own policy and that being adopted
as measures CT self-defense by other
with US. Canada pursues the opposite
course and offers a reduction Of one
eighth this year and one-fourth next
year in the taxes laid on imports from
those countries which favor Canadian
imports.
But the noticeable feature about the
SPANISH tariff is that it repeats the
most favored nation" clause in all ex-
listing treaties. That is a cautious pro-
vision. inserted in all modern treaties
where possible, providing that the ex-

Two Women VIII lie Started for
Norway To-day.


w. A. Gates, agent of the state beard
of corrections and charities, leaves for
Chicago today for the purpose Of de-
porting two insane persons from the
Fergus Falls asylum. They are Minnie
Peterson and Martha Halvorsen, and
both will be taken back to Norway.
The unfortunate women are nearly
recovered, at least sufficiently to be re-
turned to their native land, and they
both request TO be sent there, having
10 relatives or friends in this country.
When insane p 5rsons are sent abroad,
the steamship companies require that
an attendant accompany them, but in
this case the women are so far recov-
cred that it is thought this will be I'M
necessary. Agent Gates will also take
with him two paupers who have been
cared for in Minnesota institutions, al
though they belong in other states.
They will be turned over to the COM

POINTER FOR CYCLISTS.
Judge Orr Says They Can Ride On
Certain Sidewalks.

In view Of the fact that there has
been more or less misunderstanding re-
garding the riding of bicycles on the
sidewalks CT Maryland and Burr
streets, Judge Orr yesterday officially
informed the Margaret street police au-
thorities that citizens were to be per-
n1itted the use of these walks. The
difficulty arose oyer the prohibitory
amendments CT the old bicycle ordf-
nance, which were not included in the
new bicycle regulations. Judge Orrs
position is based upon the conclusion
that the amendments were repealed by
the passage of the last general ordi-
nance. The residents of Maryland and
Burr streets, however, do not approve
of this ruling, it is said, and an arrest
may be made in order to bring a test
case before the court.
