stopping our trade with foreigners.

The Spanish Minister has only to tip the
wink to the Secretary of the Treasury to
put all of the machinery of the U. S. Gus
toms Service to work at fillibuster hunting.
His latest was an allegation that arms were
about to be shipped from Bridgeport, Conn,
or thereabouts, to the Cubsns. Special

of the Customs Service in that vicinity to
turn themselves into detectives to please

Dingley Tariff bill is settled by the Gov
ernments official expert, who finds that
the equivalent ad 0dIorem rate is IA 16 per

The State of New Jersey has had some
experience with farm values, because it
invested some of its Sinking Funds in farm
mortgages. The loans averaged $4,000 to
each farm and the State has had to become
proprietor of considerable desirable real
estate These farms the State rents on
shares-half the crop. The State expended
on these farms last year, $1.317.57, and
received 81 ,613 "a, an averaged profit of $50.
A farmer writing to the DoYer Inder on
the above facts, concludes that "the object
lesson in which the State gives to owners
of farm property is that our taxes on a
farm valued at $4,000 should not exceed
$40. This would give the farmers half the
crop and pay taxes with no margin for
emergencies. I would suggest that the
State should own all the farms and lease
them out to the farmers for the crop and
exempt from all taxes.n

AS business is booming all over the land,
we cannot understand why the Golden Rod
silk mill of Paterson should have
announced its failure last Saturday, or why
all the cotton mills of Lowell, Lawrence
Falls River and Amesbury, Massachusetts,
and Providedne, R. L, should shut down
for several weeks each in order to curtail
production.

Pittsburg. Aug. -. The fact just
made public that the men at work in
the Spring Mill mine of Dempster, Boyd
& Co. were getting So cents has further
complicated the strike situation. This
rate has been paid since July 16. There
are SO men at work in this mine and
200 mine wagons are mined every day.
This is dumped directly into the ten
ders of the locomotives on the Penn
sylvania railroad. An effort will be
made by the strikers to get the miners
out, but the latter say they will con-
tinue at work until forced out.
The latest movement of the strikers
indicates that the miners leaders have
abandoned all hope of drawing the
coke region into the strike, and have
adopted plan of using the cookers to
assist the strikers in more profitable
way.
Arrangements are being made for a
big labor meeting in McKeesport on
Saturday evening, which all the strik-
ing miners in the Turtle Creek and
Monongahela valleys are expected to
attend. The speakers engaged are Sam
uel P. Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor; M. P. Ratch-
ford, president of the United Mine
Workers, and M. M. Garland, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association.
The strikers expect great results from
this meeting.
In order to get the men out again
the strikers will make daily marches
from Camp Victory until they regain
lost ground The striking miners who
were former employees of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company met
yesterday afternoon, formed a perma-
| nent organization and appointed COM
mittee from each mine to take charge
l'of the strike at those mines. Follow
ing the organization they attended a
meeting at Turtle Creek addressed by
Mrs. Jones, of Chicago, at which 5000
miners and their wives were present
from the different sections of the dis
| trict.
The first meeting held by the strikers
at Irwin yesterday was poorly attended
| by the miners of that district, as all
were at work. Marchers to the number
! of about 1000 came to the meeting
| from Shaners, Suterville and other
parts of this district. The strikers pro-
pose to camp at Irwin and use their
best endeavors to get the men out.

Mr.. John W. Foster, the gentleman who
is credited with having written the
instructions to Ambassador day that were
signed by Mr.. Sherman, has returned from
his sealing mission to Europe. He says it
was successful; Prof. Elliott, of the Smith
sonian Institution, says it was fiat failure.
Which of them is right will not be known
until after the International Conference,
which meets in Washington next October,
shall have been held.

10 Expel Anarchists From France.

of Tarrida MarmoI, the Spanish an

speech which he made on Sunday last,
urged that Senior Canovas del Castillo,
the Spanish premier should be assas-

prisoner in the fortress at Montjuicb.
at Barcelona, is believed to have start

The comparison of the present Tariff law
with the Wilson act which was authorized
by Congress makes the average increase in
the rates of duty from 1910 to 81 Sc per
cent ad OalOrem, figured on the basis Of
prices in 1898. That is to say, the average
increase in prices when the Dingley tariff
gets into full operation will be over 335 per
cent. The next Congress is likely to be as
strongly Democratic as that elected in 1890,
after the passage of the Mckinley law.
