President Mckinley is said to have
announced that he will make few II
any appointments. except those abso-
lutely necessary, until toward the end
Of the extra session. To one senator
he is reported as saying: Il shall
wait unta all the applications are in,
and then shall apportion the appoint
ments as fairly as possible between
the states. Tell your friends to file
their papers and go home. 1t is use
less for them to stay here, and so long
as my time is taken up hearing appli-
cations l shall not have time 10 con-
slider them" There IS every reason
to believe that President Mckinley m.
tends to take time to consider ap-
pointments before making them, and
thereby save himself the regret and
modification certain to follow a com
pulsory consideration of some of them
after they are made. The country is
in no hurry about appointments, al
though many applicants are What it
wants is revenue Legislation 10 provide
against a continuance. Of deficits. When
this is provided the president can turn
his hand to the restoration of the equi-
librium Of ofice-holding.

1t is understood at Washington that
President Mckinley will not consider
the application Of men who held office
under the Harrison administration for
appointment. This is not because Of
any hostility TO the Harrison adminis-
tration or any objection to the men,
but in pursuance of the idea that new
men should have a chance The same

REVIVE OUR MERCHANT MARINE

Toledo Blade
The wholesale destruction OF United
States merchant vessels by Coared-
crate cruisers during the war nearly
exterminated our merchant marine.
There was a revival after the war Of
course. But our foreign Commerce
steadily increases. and our merchant
marine does not increase in proportion
thereto. The percentages of our for
eign commerce carried In American
vessels at ten-year periods is as fol-
lows; 1851, 66 per cent; 1871. Ss per
cent; 1881. % per cent; 1891, l. per cent.
The war came at the time when
iron vessels were taking the place OF
wooden ones. During those years II
conflict, our shpibuilding was stagnant,
while England's increased enormously.
By the time the war ended her ship
builders had enormous plants On the
Clyde. the Tyne. and at other localities
Labor being cheaper there. iron vessels
could be built at less cost. The enor-
nous increase in the number Of freight
vessels reduced ocean freights to a
lower point than was ever dreamed
Of before. The result upon our own
merchant marine is eloquently told in
the above figures.
Senator Elkins has introduced a bill
which would promote the restoration
Of the American marine. and an effort
viii be made IN the senate to attach
IL as an amendment to the Dingley
tariff bill, when the measure reaches
that body. It's principle is the impos-
ing Of discriminating duty upon all
imports brought in vessels of foreign
countries. 1t provides for a duty OF
ten per cent ad valorem, In addition
TO the duties otherwise imposed by
law. upon all such goods. wares and
merchandise: and where no duties are
otherwise imposed, a duty Of ten per
cent ad valorem upon goods 50 I'M
ported
The principle Of discriminating du-
ties was embodied in the national re-
publican platform at st. Louis last
year. 1t received the endorsement OF
President Mckinley In his letter ac>
cepting the nomination, and his official .
in his inaugural ad-
dress.
1t IS republican doctrine, and the
complement Of protective
legislation for our industries. Public
has been directed to the
proper protection Of American pro-
iucers, while the interests Of Amert-
can carriers have been totally neglect
ed Transportation is the necessary
correlative Of production. and both are
entitled to an equal measure Of pro-
luctiou.

There Is reason to believe the gloomy

S probable no large transactions on
account Of the coming season have yet
taken place. IT is nevertheless well
known that some flattering sales have
been made by leading packers in the
past week or ten days, of standard
brands, at the fun prices which pre-
vaaled last year There is no sense

sion for il that has no warrant in the
existing outlook. Like every other sea-
son. it is yet too early for the packers
