THE PENDING TREATIES.

Two important treaties with Great Britain are
now before the Senate for consideration and
action One, pertaining to the Alaska boundary,
has been favorably passed upon by the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. and its mmedi-
ate ratification without amendment will be
urged. There Is no good reason why 1t should
not be thus ratified. 1t contains absolutely
nothing Of a contentious or debatable nature,
except the clause about Mount st. Elias, and
as that gives the United States dozen square
miles of land 1t would not otherwise be en-
titled to 1t should certainly not be cause for
objection on this side Of the border. The treaty
is designed, indeed, to transact bit Of business
concerning which there Is not and never has
been any dispute. A few days ago there was
a hint that some one would object TO il because
1t does not provide for marking the entire boun-
Diary, and would demand that In Its place a new
treaty be negotiated to cover the whole ground.
That objection cannot be well taken. The Alas
ka boundary consists Of two parts, the disputed
one by diplomatic process and the marking OF
the other by surveyors and mathematician are
two entirely distinct and separate tasks. They
must be performed In different ways. and they
should be provided for by separate treaties. The
pending treaty satisfactorily disposes Of one
The other will In due time be dealt with on it's
own account.
The other, and by far the more important In
strument, Is the general Arbitration Treaty,

Committee on Foreign Relations and reported to

in its final gaspngs, like a speared dragon that
has wasted the land and spread calamity through
all Its borders It's brief pernicious history Is
now nearly at an end. to be remembered for all
time as the record OF unrelieved and unmitigated
economic disaster But If you bray the Demo-
cratic theorist In a mortar. his theory Will not
depart from him; when he gets another chance
to exploit it. of which the prospect now appears
somewhat remote ne will come to the front again

Does the new tariff law give the
trust any advantages! Are the ad-
vntages greater OF less than those
of the Wilson law! If it does not
give it any advantage. why did the
sugar trust stock advance when the
report Of the conference commit
tee became public. These are
questions that everybody will ask
now that the new law is completed.
and to which everyone will want Il
frank answer. Here it is. The
DineIey bill as it passed the House
made the rates of duty on refined
sugar onc-ciohth of Il cent per
pound more than the average rates
on unrefned sugar. 1t is believed
that the actual cost of refining
sugar is not less than onc-eioht Of
a cent Il pound, and therefore it is
only justice to sugar reilncrs that
the law should be so framed that
refined sugar when il comes in must
pay duty of onc-cighth of cent;
more than unrciineu sugar. for if
that were not the case. refined sugar
from abroad would drive the re-
tincrs in this country out of buSi-
ness. This one-eighth of a cent
per pound, or. as The experts put
it. 12t cents per hundred pounds
is the ''diilercntial, and was gen
orally accepted by the public when
the Dingley bill passed the House
as entirely satisfactory and certain
" not advantageous to the trust
The bill went to the Senate com
mittcc, and the rates were so
changed that the ''ditierentiar
amounted to 225 cents. which is
practically that of the Wilson law.
The Senate itself reduced this.ma-
tcrially. bringing the ditfcrential
nearer to the House rates. and when
the confcrees took up this feature
of the bill. the House conferees in
sisted upon going back absolutely
and actually to the ''dltferential' of
124 cents per hundred pounds. or
one-eighth Of cent per pound.
The Senate conferees were anxious
for a general increase in the pro
tectiye rates of the bill. in order to
give additional protection to the
beet-sugar growers. and through
their urgency on this subject there
was Il slight increase in the rates.

isl;ltion which is essentially Rcpub
lican. be it good or bad.
While the Democrats are thus
critici,ing the new tariff, their OWN
position OF the tariff question Is i'll
dcfcnsible aud untenable. The
record of the Wilson German tariff
law has proven even to Democrats
Of tie most orthodox stripe that
the party has been wrong in its
tariff theories and has lei them
to give their support, and il some
instances their vote, in favor Of q
Republican tariff for protection.
When our Democratic friends
speak OF a '>crincs let them gaze
upon the awful results of their four
wears of tariff reform, the so called
crime Of 1873 pales beside that stu
pendous iniguity of 1899. The four
years Of destructive war from lcGi
to 1865. was not 50 costly to the
country rs the four years Of Dem
ocratic tariff legislation just closed,
and most Of this fearful! cost has
been upon those who depend upon
their wage earnings for Il living.
II is not to the Republican lcgi>l;s
tors in Congress that the new tariff
is due, but to that great mass Of
toilcr> who cried out through their
ballots, to he relieved from the re-
ientlc-s competition Of the foreign
producer.
Bat the consumer must pay the
additional! tax imposed by the new
law, says the opposition. and the
lahorin@ masses are the chief con
sinners. The government requires
a certain amount of revenue which
the people must pay. BY raising
this revenue from an import tax
the burden will be no greater upon
the people than to raise it by some
other means, since they mast pay
ii in the end. BY the new tariff
law the Republicans not only give
the people the easiest and least felt
way of raising the required rcve-
nue., but they also protect their
home industries by shutting out
foreign competition.
