A Specimen Duty.

Lord George Hamilton, in answer to a
question in the House of Commons on
Tuesday why the Government had bought
1908 tons of rails for the East Indian Rail-
way of an American firm, returned a con-
elusive and interesting answer. He said it
was because the American bid was less by
e8, CTS than the lowest British bid.
That is to say, we can furnish steel rails
in the open market at almost exactly a
quarter OF a cent pound cheaper than the
English can furnish them.
Yet statute to which President McKin-
ley put his signature last Saturday provides
that there shall be levied as an import duty
upon
Railway bars, made of iron OF steel, and
railway bars made in part of steel, T rails
and punched iron or steel fiat rails, seven
twentieths of 1 cent per pound; railway
fishplates or splicebars made of iron OF steel,
four-tenths of cent. per pound.
Which means thatlthe American buyer of
steel rails has to pay third of cent a
pound more for the domestic product than
he can buy the foreign product for, even
when in the open market outside the tariff
wall, the American producer can undersell
the foreign producer quarter of cent!
This amazing statute is entitled An act
to provide revenue for the Government and
to encourage the industries of the United
States" Obviously, a descriptive title
would be An act to provide revenue for
the Republican party and to encourage the
contributions of its benefciaries and bene-
factors N. Y. Times, July 20.

TThe speech Of Senator Mills on the Tariff bill ]
" I come, sir, to speak for the forgotten
mantle taxpayer. I come to speak for
those from whose pockets this vast sum is
to be raised, from whose labor and sweat
day and night this vast contribution is to
be taken. They have some right to be
heard in the councils of the nation when
their property is to be taken by an act Of
legislative rapine and distributed among
men who have paid no consideration for it.
What are we doing? Building up q
vast tyrannical plutocracy in this country.
Somebody asked the other day how many
millionaires there are in the United States?
You could count them on the fingers of one
hand before 1862 The policies and mea-
sures adopted by the Democratic adminis-
trations before the war did not permit the
growth of such monsters in this country.
Republican policies haYe fostered and fat.
tened them. They now insolently refuse
to be taxed and insolentlY demand that
other people shall work their lives out to
to pay them tribute"

The Constitution this week prints the
agricultural schedules of the new tariff act,
with the comment that only those close to
our one Senator aud eight Congressman
know what strain was imposedD in secur-
ing SO much protection" for our agricul-
turaI interests. Our horse and cattle rails
ers should now advance the price of their
cheap horses-those worth less than $3.50.
$50 per head; swine, $3.50 each cattle
from So to 1915 per head; sheep, rs cents
other animals 20 per cent. They are en-
titled to this increase, because that is the
tax on those animals if born on foreign soil
and imported, and tine tariff tax protects
the home market to the full amount of the
tax?
As to farm products, barley is protected
by 30c.per bushel; buck wheat, 15c corn,
15c. 4; oats, 15c.; rye, 1Oc. wheat, 25c.
butter and cheese, &c. per pound milk &c.
per gallon; beans, 45c. per bushel cabbage,
Sc. head eggs, sc. per dozen onions,
4Oc. per bushel; straw, so per ton hay,
$4 per ton.
Watermelons, tomatoes, sweet potatoes,
cantelopess-the principal products of our
farmers, are not specifically mentioned, but
get rs per cent. protection"
Not only will our farmers receive this in
crease in prices of their product with ex-
pressions of delight, but our local milk
dealers win be glad of the increase in their
revenue, because sc. per quart is generally
recognized as a ruinous price for milk.
With increased wages the lsbolers won't
feel this advance in prices, neither will the
farmers feel the advance in prices of labor
NOR articles they consume, because they can
afford it. There will be general regret,
however, that such a strain" was neces-
sary to make us all rich in a Congress SO
largely Of one mind. There must be a
Niger" somewhere in that tariff wood
pile, but it this liberal increase in prices
comes down this way we will laugh at the
niggern and eat, drink and be merry"
because we can all afford to chip in, buy
him bicycle and send him downto Barne-
cat to rest, and battle his tired muscles
with anything that will cure.

FlFTEEN PERSONS BURNED
By Exploding Naphtha in PhiIadel
phia Chemical Works.


phia Chemical Works.
Philadelphia, Aug. 5.-A naphtha ex.
plosion in the chemical works Of the
Barrett Manufacturing company, in
frankfort, yesterday, caused a dan
gerous and disastrous fire. Thirteen
firemen and two employees were badly
burned and scalded.
Two men at work In the building,
Robert Celtic and John Garrish, first
observed the danger from six large
naphtha tanks in the room. Celtic
pointed out to his companion that the
oil in two of them was boiling to the
bubbling point and likely to explode.
The men started for the door, Hardly
had they reached it when the two
tanks in rapid succession blew up, and
the entire building containing them, a
brick structure 100 feet long by 4S feet
deep, was a mass of flames. Both were
frightfully burned. In the yard at
tached to the refining house were 1870
barrels of naphtha, each containing 100
gallons, and it was their immediate
effort to prevent the flames from reach
ing them.
The walls had been blown out Of the
refining house, however. and the blasts
of flame shot out in every direction
The fiery rivulets were rushing along
the ground and licking around the bar
rels of explosive oil In the open space
1t was not in human power to check
this flood of liquid fire, and the fire.
men beat a retreat. Many of them
We're unhappily too late. One after an
other the naphtha barrels blew up.
Each explosion was like the discharge
of cannon. As the force accumulated
the barrels exploded in batteries.
The names Of the burned and injured
firemen are as follows: William Nc
Dade, Samuel Cook, Samuel White.
Fred Hampshire. Aaron Knight, James
Nevling, John DufHeld, James Ridg-
way, Charles d. Myers, Charles Mil
Ter, John MAR, Thomas O'Dair, Jacob

but several may be disfgured by the
burning OIL The loss is estimated at
$4,000.

Mr.. Charles q. Cramp just returned from
Europe, says; The British official in
foreign lands does not hesitate to do all in
his power to send trade home to his country
men. He is expected to do so. and the
more successful he is in securing contracts
the better he is liked. Their course is in
strange contrast with that of this Govern
ment." The action OF American officials in
foreign lands is in harmony with the pres
emit American policy. The American peo-
pie Ia small majority of them haYe said
they don't want to trade with foreigners,
hence why should American officials make
effort to send foreign trade to their country
men. Last year we sold to foreigners more
goods than any:previous year in our history,
and the policy under which it was accom-
plished was rebuked at the polls.

that this is one of the essential condi-

States Japan will break off negotiations
looking to arbitration and back up her
demand by a naval demonstration in

1.-THE arrival of the steamship Mouna
from San Francisco, due in Honolulu

official circles it is generally under
stood that Minister Sewa1l will carry
out the instructions received in the

failed to pass the annexation treaty
Minister Sewall is to declare a pro-
tectorate and raise the American flag.
The American minister has had fire.
quent consultations with President Dole
within the past week, and it is be-
lieved they have agreed on program.
The general impression here is that
congress has decided to let the mat
ter of annexation wait over until the
regular session. The intervening
months would be a long time for this
country to stand alone, in view Of the
attitude of Japan.
"As soon as the Mouna arrives 1t is
understood the United States minister
will notify this government of his in
tention to raise the American flag.

or two for answer, and it is expected
everything will be in readiness to de-
