The protest of European governments
and peoples against the present tariff is not
cause for surprise. 1t was not made for
the exclusive benefit of outsiders. Gener-
ally any tariff which would discriminate
in favor of our own people would not be
as popular abroad as was the German
law.
We have heard about commercial wars
before. Soon after the passage of the Cor
man law, which swept away the recipro-
cal treaties. Germany, France and other
countries went back to their discriminating
duties and rules against the importation of
our farm products. Mr. Cleveland threat
ened to- retaliate, and then there was a
threat of a commercial war upon the
United States. What would have happened
if the President had made good his threat
cannot be predicted. The easy terms of
the German tariff should have appeased
the foreigners and have led them to recip-
rocate by extending some advantage to
us. Instead of pursuing that policy, they
went the other way Even Great Britain
embarrassed our cattle trade, and Ger
out our grain and meats upon pretext
which had no foundation.
The new cause of foreign protest is that
Germany, France, Austria and other beet
sugar producing countries have offered an
export bounty upon sugar sold in other
countries. This is done for the purpose
of controlling such markets as the United
States and Great Britain. That there may
be no discrimination against any of the
sugar-producing countries, the present tar
iff law provides for an additional duty
on the sugar of countries paying an ex-
port bounty equal to that bounty. This
puts all competitors on an equal footing
when they come to us to sell sugar. There
is no great cause of complaint in such a
proceeding, but it is really the cause of
the protests and the threats.
There is no discrimination against any
of these countries paying export bounties
on sugar in the present tariff law. In
stead, it makes the market equal to all by
imposing upon German sugars as much
more duty as the government has paid
1t is an interference with the scheme of
that government, but it is in no sense such
a discrimination as some of these gov
ernments have made against our meat
products our breadstuffs.

The Republican regards this advance in
stocks as evidence of business activity and
confidence in the future, due to the sup
posed effect of tariff legislation, good crop
prospects and generally improved condi-
tions. AS to the advance in railroad stocks
it says:
The railway changes depend entirely upon
the prospect of great Improvement. 1t is,
as we have said, a remarkable movement.
There has been as yet no actual strengthen
ing of the railway position in point of earn
ings. The first six months of the year, in
stead, record some little decline in gross
revenue as compared with the bad time of
the year before. The large gains in share
prices are based entirely on prospective
gains in revenue Burlington e. Quincy
stock well exhibits the nature of the adj
vance. Here is a road which has not fully
earned it's per cent. dividends in any one
of the past three years. 1t has, moreover
been operated on a low ratio of expenses to
earnings indicating that the property has
been permitted to suffer in a physical way
in order to acquire the insufficient dividend
fund But here is the stock soaring 1919
points, unusual figures, rejecting the re-
turn of the investing public to the market.
The Republican, though not a Republican
nor protection paper is not a calamity
organ, and in it's editorial on THE Business
Situation in Its Broader Aspect it is hon.
est enough to, recognize the general advance
in stocks, especially in railway stocks, as
evidence of faith in better times coming,
and of the fact that money is seklng in
vestment. Such a paper as the Republican
would not insult the intelligence of its read
ers by citing the general advance in the
price of railway and other corporation
stocks Is evidence of vicious legislation
tariff or otherwise. The truth is there is
no more delicate indicator of the state of
the money market and the future business
outlook than the price of stocks. In spite
of all that may be said to their prejudice,
and of the fact that many of the stocks
have been outrageously watered, the fact
remains that they represent investments to
the amount of hundreds of millions of dol
lars, the value of which is affected for
better or worse by every change no matter
how slight, in the conditions of business
There is no better sign of the times than
the universal advance in corporation stocks
of all kinds.

The main point of Secretary Cages Bos-

Therefore the secretary urged that the peo-

to be over one-third less under the present
tariff than it was under the act of 1894,
which was superseded on Saturday. This
means that the Sugar Trust was beaten in
the new tariff, and that the Republican
House was victorious. Nevertheless, the
howlers will ignore this authoritative state
ment despite the fact that the official who
makes the estimates declares that the Su-
gar Trust gets less protection under this
tariff than under any which ever existed.

With cotton selling for about $25 a
bale, most store goods advancing and
threatening to advance on account of
the higher tariff of the Republican adj

collectors of our counties and towns de-
handing the immediate payment of
taxes, it would seem that our Southern
people could stand little more pros

given them without getting "bigotty" or
throwing away their old clothes. When
it takes sixteen pounds of cotton to get

as ever to pay the taxes, our farmers
could even stand a little cheaper

advocates can persuade them to abandon
