The best thing that can happen to
shall have a monopoly of the home
market first Of all. The worst thing Is
that foreigners shall occupy this mar
ket so largely that the Americans, to
meet them, must cut prices below the
profit point and then almost give away
the surplus to Europeans. The notion
that trade over seas is a sign of pros
perity is British notion. II Is pro-
mulgated in this country by free trad
ers. who regard the British stamp upon
anything. from an economical idea to
a high hat, as an assurance of correct
ness. We do make some things which
we can export at profit, because We
beat the world in producing them. but
this is not true of the mass of our
manufacturers. - Philadelphia (Pa.)
Textile Record.
The only hope the Democracy now
has Is in some unexpected disaster. It
wants a combination of strikes with the
weevil in the wheat, an early frost, a
coal famine, a European tariff war
market, a pinching out of the gold
supply-all these things coming to-
gether would raise its dropping spirits.
But short of that there seems to be
no opening for another Democratic raid
on the offices and the national indus
tries.-San Francisco (Cal) Chronicle
There is no need to worry about the
Dingley law. The men who drew that
measure knew what they were doing
They declared that it would raise reve-
nue. enough to support the government,
and that will be the result, after the
law has got to work fully. There will
be no bond sales to provide money with
which to run the government, nor will
the nations credit be impaired in any
way.--Cleveland (OO Leader.
The enactment af the Dingley law
was a wise act because the government
needed a sufficient revenue for its sup
port, and experience had taught the
effectiveness of a protective tariff in
building up the industries OF the coun-
try. Business is greatly improved and
prosperity Is returning because OF the
necessity Of such law and the sense
Of security growing out of it.-Wash-
