For the month of March the exports
OF American manufactures exceeded by
over 100000 the manufacturing ex-
ports of any preceding month in the his
tory of the country. and they are still
increasing under the "blighting inhu-
ence" of the Wilson tariff, which the
laundering servants of the trusts de-
light to talk about as they tinker away
AT the Dingley mOnsuosity. And that
is what worries them. Little stubborn,
hard-headed facts like that simply jolt
all to pieces their fine structures Of gilt
tering generalities when they run up
AGAINST them.

Charles Bundy. whose appointment
to the L. s. Naval Academy at Annap-
oils has raised such a ruction among
the youthful self-appointed aristocracy
of that school. says he is descended on
his fathers side from an old and
wealthy white family of Virginia, the
Bundys. while on his mothers side he
claims relationship with AN aristocrat-
ic West Virginia family by the name OF
Lewis. Her grandfather is white. "
Bundy is evidently aiming to Guido the
young naval swells, themselves, in the
matter of pedigree.

The Mckinley bill was bad enough
and excited protests enough of a nom
partisan character to have caused its
defeat in a body less partisan and less
subservient to the trusts than the Reed
Mckinley Congress of profigate, bill
ion-dollar fame, but those protests were
mild compared to some that have been
uttered by importers and some manu-
facturers. regardless of party, against
the high rates of the Dingley bill. Chi
cago importers have protested in a
body. In some cases, as in shaWls and
hosiery. goods valued at $1,000 will call
for a tariff of from $4,000 to $3.50 and
all importers agree that some of the
rates will be prohibitive and that, Of
course, means no revenue will be pro-
duced. Next to woolens, linens are
most heavily taxed. Importers declare
that this high taxation cannot be jus
titled. as all attempts TO manufacture
fine linen in the United States have
failed for climatic reasons. The tax
will fall upon the consumer.
Among the importers who have been
interviewed. Mr.. j. w. Scott said; In
some cases the wooden schedules in The
Dingley bill are prohibitive, running
up to $50 per cent. on the value OF the
goods. The latter is true in certain
lines of wooden hosiery. In general the
tax on woolens in the new bill, specified
ana ad valorem together, making what
we call a compound duty, amounts to
from 100 to $50 per cent. on the value
of the goods. In the present Wilson Dill
it does not reach on the average more
than so per cent. OF course the tax Will
fall ultimately on the consumer aud
woolens. both domestic and imported,
are bound to show an advance as SOFA
as the new bill goes into effect. Silks
are not taxed materially higher than
in the Wilson bill
While taxing heavily the woolens uced
by the poor. the silks of the rich VIII
not be taxed more than at present, Iut
the silk schedules are denounced as be
ing so complicated that no end of work
will be required TO determine what the
tax is. A representative of the firm OF
Marshall. Field & Co., Chicago, said:
The new wooden tariff is heaviest in
the commoner grades, which is equiva-
/ lent to saying that the poor will pay
the heaviest taxes under the new tariff.
/ Take for instance a shawl weighing
two pounds that is inyoiced to us at
81. Under the new tariff the specific
duty on this shawl is 1912 cents per
pound, or practically 81 added to the
value. Then there is the ad valorem
duty of so per cent, making total OF
81 90 duty. or 81 sc for the shawl before
anv profit is added. Under the Wilson
bill the duty on this shawl is 40 cents,
making the value and duty together
81 40. as against $3.50 under the new
measure. 1t simply means that when
you undertake to charge persons twice
what they have been paying for GER
tain article they will cease buying it
altogether and importation of that ar
ticle will cease. You cannot have eX-
IRENE protection and revenue at the
same time
All of the expressions tend to show
that the Dingley bill is worse than the
Mckinley law, and it is safe to predict
that the American people will not take
to it any more kindly than they did to
! its predecessor.

The investigation into the New York
bucket shops has reached behind the
sacred portals of the Stock Exchange,

that if it was for the interest Of the

The Shoe and Leather Reporter,
which is good authority. says tariff
duty on imported hides would raise the
price of manufactures of leather 1872
per cent. and destroy our export trade
altogether Various meetings of the
leather trade make similar statements
in the remonstrances which they have
sent in.
The brief furnished by representa-
tives of the Tanners Association says
among other things:
The hides imported are nearly all dry
hides averaging 2le pounds. and It IS
from This class of hides tina, about 80 Per
cent of our exported sole leather Is made.
To place 81 dUty on hides would partially,
If not wholly. destroy our entire export
trade and result in the closing down Of all
tauueries and manufacturing leather Tor
export. and would force out Of employ
ment many thousands of wOrkmen.
The restriction in our leather Industry
would also seriously injure the lumber i'm
t5re>ts of all those States that contain our
hemlOCk and ches nut oak forests, partc-
ul5riy the hemlOck. as our export trade is
made up largely OF hemlOck leather. The
demand for hemlock timber has been
been keeping apace with the demand for
h. TX and under the present conditions we
can utilize both the log and the bark. Re
move, however great part OF the de-
mand FOR hemloCk bark. as we would by
destroying our export trade. and a large
quantity of our valuable tanning material
would be destroyed for the lumber. and
also aS a natural consequence, lumber
men would have 10 ask higher prices for
their hemloCk or give up is manufacture.
we are positive. ii a duty is put on for
eicn hides the result will be 10 close UP
that portion Of The tanning industry. which
now manufactures leather for export"
Yet the Beef Trust, which was we'll
represented on Hannas SluSh Fund
Committee. has sent in its bill for SER
vices rendered in helping elect the pres
ent administration and Congress in the
shape of this demand for a duty on
hides, which will net the Trust mill
ions in the disposal of what is scarcely
more than an offal of its product. and
so the duty is clapped on hides. The
leather EXPORT trade is to be ruined
and the price Of leather and boots and
shoes advanced to the American peo-
pie. But, 10 state the whole truth of
the case, if there is reason in most of
the other protective" schedules of the
Dingley bill there is equal reason in

One of the strongest arguments adj
vanced against home rule in Cuba is
that the people Of that oppressed and
revolutionary island are not capable
OF self-government and recent events
would seem TO show that the Greeks,
who have been held in very much high
or esteem than the Cubans, are, also,
lacking in the necessary stability to
establish and support a government of
their own.
The world has been very much disap-
pointed in Greece. She has not given
a good account of herself in her strug-
gle with Turkey and has been lacking,
especially among her public men. in
unity. harmony. courage and intelli-
gence. Bankrupt and unprepared at
every point. Greece plunged into the

haste. exhibited the utter incapacity
