The Canal Before Arbitration.

A New York newspaper prints letter
| from an unknown but evidently eTuGite
and able citizen, reviewing the position
| of Secretary Sherman on the Nicaraguan
Canal question during his last days in
the Senate.
The facts and utterances cited are ia
rniliar to readers OF The Times who have
followed the course of the Senator and
Secretary in connection with the matter.
The author OF this letter expresses the
belief that, inasmuch as the head OF the
State Department and the former chair
man OF the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, seem quite agreed that the
| Clayton -Bulwer treaty is ipso facto dead,
Secretary Shernan's expressed desire To
take up the canal question de novo as q

of the Soudan. she viii hardly want another

There is a different and q far more
serious danger TO us, and this the writer
calls to public attention, much as The
Times repeatedly has urged it upon the
Senate. We quote:

tiOn treaty she may gain hy diplomacy

flood of abuse and calufuny aimed at the
patriot commander and his officers. This

| governor of the Cuban state Of Camaguey,
and a nephew of the treasurer of the Junta
at New York, to send a message to The
New York Sun completely deInoiishinS the
reports emanating from the Spanish news
paper man.
From sener Guerra's statement 1t ap-
pears that the relations between Gen
Gomez and the civil government OF the re-
public re intimate and harmonious; that
the influence of the former is unbounded,
alike with the administration, the army
and the people; that the patriot armies
are winning daily victories over the
Spania rtls: that the latter are disfeart-
ened and withdrawing To their few forti-
fled seaports in view Of the near approach
OF the rainy season, which must put an
end to even their present pretense of field
operations; that the civil government OF
the island Is complete and effective every
where outside of a mile limit from the re-
manning Spanish strongholds; and finally
that the revolution is manned, armed and
proyisioned for a twenty years war if
need be for the emancipation of the
country

Free Raw Materials.

The Hon. William l.. Wilson. author OF
lished in the New York Herald, takes
strong ground in favor OF the Democratic
doctrine OF free raw materials. He writes:
It is very erroneous and selfish claim
that the removal or reduction of duties on
iron ore, coal and wool and other like
articles is chiefly for the benefit OF those
who manufacture our iron, steel, woolrn
ana other fabrics. Every enlargement Of
his sources OF supply OF raw materials
every impeachment Of taxation or otherwise
removed letWeen him and that supply
does primarily help the manufa ctgTpF but
pa sses quickly and inevitably under fair
competition, to the consumer who very
soon gets more benefit than at first aI-
pears. because with the rapid widening OF
his markets the producer Is able 10 sell a
closer profit, while all the time finding
employment for more labor.
There can be no question that these dicta
of Mr. Wilson are sound in principle, nor
that their application would always tend
TO the greatest good of the greatest num-
material principle is coroilary OF the
revenue tariff theory OF fiscal legislation.
The Times has shown, In connection with
many illustrations of the specific opera
tons of protection" that such a tariff
law as the one now intended to he forced
upon the nation, simply erects trust
profit dam, to the height of which prices
to American consumers Emst rise newt
ably. In the free waters outside of that
dam there is the. opp ort unity for the
nlonopolies to compete in foreign coun-
tries at prices as low as they may be com
PEELED to, in order to secure the trade.
The conquest of such trade, and the Incl
dental destruction of foreign industries,
in achieving the victory, are of such i'm
portauce that American manufacturing
monopolies would attempt it even at the
expense of Immediate profit, or not inn
possibly at q loss. Such a commercial
adventure would be amply justified by
excessive profits wrung out of the home
market as wen as by the Ultimate ends
in view.
Under any fiscal system conceived for
the good OF the country, to advance pros
perity, to give the largest employment to
labor, and To foster commerce and industry,
raw material of all kinds surely ought to
be as free as air.

The Currency Commission.

It will occasion no surprise to read that
MFR Mckinley, Mr.. Hanna and others, who
are supposed To lie responsible for the
present Administration to delay till the
regular session of Congress next winter the
appointment OF the currency commission.
The Administration has at present a single
object in view-the passage OF the tariff
bill. It is believed that the currency
either branch for any reason during the
tariff debate, would only prolong that de-
bate einterrninu bly, and the Republican lead
ers not only want to avoid this delay in
securing the Dtngley variety OF high pro-
lection, but they also want to be careful
to irritate and estranSe no silver men or
It does not necessarily follow that the
Administration people intend to give up
the project or currency commission.
Many of them admit that il Will be two
years before the beneficial effects Of their
tariff legislation which they expect win
become operative; and many OF them also
admit that they are pretty likely, under
these circumstances, toloSe the next House.
They consider that they are pledged to
procure birnetallisIn, if they can; and since
especially they are going To be very shy Of
advantages accruing from their tariff leg
islation. it is going to be all the more ur-
gent that they should at least pretend to do
something in the direction of an interna-
tional agreement.
In connection with this it is OF interest
to note that Senator Wolcott believes that
he really found some encouragement among
the statesmen OF Europe for the good. old
fashioned international monetary confer
ence. He expects that a number of able
and eloquent Americans viii lie appointed
To represent the United States at such a
conference, and that their purpose and
plan Will he agreed upon fully beforehand,
and so warmly promoted that they viii
make distinct impression among the mon
etary experts of other countries. 1t is
does not believe that the Republican ef-
fort in behalf OF International hirnetaIlisin

READY FOR TRIAL.
The Big Battieship Iowa Soon to
Be Tested.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 22-On Monday
next the big battieship Iowa VIII sail from
Crarnp shipyard To make her Government
trial trip. In the case of the Iowa the
Cramps will make departure from their
usual program for official trials of Govern
ment vessels from their yard. Instead OF
proceeding directly to Boston the Iowa Will
be taken to Brooklyn, where she will re
placed in the Government dry dock at the
navy yard there, and her bottom will be
scraped and painted.
With the exception OF a short run off the
Delaware capes last fall, the Iowa has been
lying at the wharf at Cramps for about
two years, and must have great deposit
OF Delaware River mud ON her hull The
Cramps believe that foul hulls cost them
about $5o,Oo0 or SIo0.0aO apiece in tire
cases of the Indiana and Massachusetts, as,
II the bottoms of these ships had been clean
when they made their official trials, they
might have gotten half knot more speed
out OF them and increased their bonus by
that much.
1t is expected that the ship will reach
Brooklyn some time Tuesday afternoon or
evening. She will be docked at once, and
two or three days will be consumed IN
scraping and painting her bottom. She will
then be noated out of the dock and viii sail
for Boston ON Saturday, April 3. The trial
"trip will probably be made ON Tuesday OF
Wednesday of the following week. and
will be over the usual forty knot Govern
ment course between Cape Ann and Cape
Porpoise.
The Iowa will be the first ship Of her
class to he enrolled in the United states
Navy. She differs from battleships OF
the Massachusetts class, as she has feen
built to keep the seas and make long
voyages if necessary, and is not intended
for coast guard duty only, as most battle
ships are. In addition, she will he the

Some Agile Jumping.

The American people were unable to

Gomez SANDERS Exunsed.

Nothing in connection with the Cuban
struggle for freedom has been of late
more noticeable than the last deSpairing
attempt of the Spanish officials in Havana
to stem the rising tide of Cuban sentiment
in the United States by throwing dis
credit upon Gen Gomez and the Cuban
army.
The scheme appears to have been
cleverly worked, through the medium of
an influential New York paper long prom
inent in the Spanish interest. 1t has
maintained correspondent at the camp
of Gen. Gomez, apparently for the express
purpose of misrepresenting that gallant
commander, and spreading reports of
alleged differences between him and the
civil government Of the republic. From
this source statements have been printed

the effect that the influence OF Gen Gomez
was on the wane; that American Officers
in the Cuban service were indifferenuy
treated, and much more in the same line
