Portland orcgoniRn; The statement
that the new tariff bill will embody
BIaIne's theory Of reciprocity elIcits
general attention. The plan presented
dIfT1s somewhat from that which char
ReterlEcd the Mckinley law. The reel
proCity clause Of that law was In a
sense a negative or retaliatory propo"
s!tiOn, II threatened retaliation upon
countries that did not enter into the
proposed reciprocal commercial relh>
tons with the United States. The new
clause aR passed upon by the committee
is an affirmative proposition, modelled
after the reciprocity recommendation
Of the late Secretary Blaine. In sub
stance this proposition is TO declare
the ports OF the United States free TO all
the products Of any nation on the
American hemisphere upon which no ex-
port duties ARE imposed, whenever and
so long as such nation shall admit to
It's ports free OF all national, municipal,
provincial and other taxes certain OF
our natural and manufactured ptOs
ducts" which are specifically named.
The list, though ample, II Is proposed
to enlarge, and tho President Is to be
given discretionary powers in the mat
ter OF removing or reducing duties In
accordance with the value OF conCes.
sIonS made by corresponding countries.
In explanation Of this enlargement OF
presidential power, It Is cited that some
countries might not md 1t advisable to
place certain imports from the United
states on their free list, but might be
willing to grant discriminating duty
Of Is, 80 or Is per cent less than that
imposed upon similar articles from oth'
err nations, and in such lines the Presl'
dents discretion may be exercised.
Inquiry discovered to the committee
the fact Of a substantial, and In some
cases n phenomenal, gain In the exports
Of the United States, while the reciproc'
ity clause OF the Mckinley law was In
effect. The repeal Of this clause was
followed by disaster to the American
export trade. In 1892 this aggregated a
total Of 81, 030, 21S, 14S-the high water
mark in national history. TlnkerlnR

heels Of this record, and when the Will

IprocIty clause, that contributed so
largely to the sum total, a greatly re.

States had business relations under the
Mckinley law resulted.
The opportunity to demonstrate the
difference in effect between the Repub.

is at hand. There can be little doubt

Il win be recalled that some time ago
tio sugar trust bought n cSntrOlllng In
terest in tho woolson Spice Company, OF
Toledo, the object being TO hight tho AR
buckle coIfeo concern. which has In
vaded the sugar trusts field.
II appears that the Arbuckle concern
obtained a minority interest In the Wool
SON Company from selling coffee at a
loss, and asked that a receiver be np-
pointed. In an elaborate opinion the
common pleas court says that the direc-
tors of the woolSon corporation may sell
al any price they think wise, even at a
loss, and that they cannot be lntCrfcred
with.
The court holds also that an agreement
among majority of stockholders to cell
at such price as would drive cnnpetl-
tors out oGbuslness will not be held to be
an unlawful conspiracy against COMPETE
tors, and that the court has nothing to do
with transactions Of this kind:
In other words, the sugar trust and the
ArbuclSlea may fight It out, and 30 far
a. this court is concerned there viii be no
Interference.
We leave the decIsl0n to higher courts
and to the learned gentlemen OF the bar.

1t ia understood in Washington that
the Spanish authorities in Cuba have at
last agreed to make searching Invesh-
cation into the case OF the late DR.. Ruiz,
IN American citizen said to have been
murdered while in prison. All OF the cir
cumstanccs as they are understood in
this country so to confirm the murder
theory. The Spanish authorities insist
that there was no murder and that Ruiz
died natural death.
There Is good reason to believe that
more than one American citizen has been
put to death by the span!ard5 in Cuba,
and tho conviction that this kind Of
thing is going on TO liberal extent has
had much to do with stirring M feeling
in tho United States against Spain. 1t
is feeling quite apart from the sympn-
thy with the Cuban insurgents,
All Americans will be very glad n II
can be shown that DR.. Ruiz was treated
as an American citizen should be treat

In Cuba are untrue. We are at peace

In view Of tho supreme court Of the
United States the traffic agreement of the
trans. Missouri freight association comes
within the provisions Of the Sherman
antl.trlSt act of 1890 and Is therefore
unlawful. The majority Of the court had
no trouble to reach the conclusion that
the antitrust act applies IN the railroad
tratfic agreement, and the next step was
to declare ttds agreement unlawful
II has been insisted by many good law
yera tialt the antitrust act was aimed at
producers, not at common carriers This
theory the supreme court OF the United
STATES tipsets. and the effect OF the dCcls-
ison may be to lay the aleavy hand Of the
unltsd states on evory railroad combI-
nation intended to hold up freight
charges.
The court very well says that ''eompe-
tItlon will Itself bring charges down to
what may be reasonable, while in the
case OF an agreement to keep prices up
competition is allowed no play" II Is
very clear that II common carriers may
enter into these traftic agreements there
can be no competition among the parties
10 such agreements, and there would be
no possible way for shippers to get re-
lief
The general average OF freight charges
the country over is fnr from high; hut
general averages are often misleading.
In spite of low general average for the
country the charge In a section, or on
q class OF commodities, may be very
high OF course it is claimed that the
aim Of these traffic associations is to pre-
vent decentralization in freight rates,
The view OF the supreme court ofthe
United States seems to be that the rail-
roads will have to find some other way
10 work out their salvation, FOR they can
not 60 on with their traftic associations
IN the face Of the Sherman antitrust
law. This matter has been very much
discussed and 1t IS well to have a declS-
ion on It from the highest judicial trtbu-
nal in the country.

Mr., Bailey, Democrat leader OF the
house, quotes Andrew jackson In opDosl-
ton to a treasury surplus, Al more
modern instance he might have quoted
Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland went
into office on a platform opposed to a
surplus OF funds in the treasury. When
he came out Of office no surplus was
there, and the public debt has been In
creased by 100000. Therefore 1t is
unnecessary for any Democra: in Con-
Eress or elsewhere to call attention to
the theory advocated by his party with
regard TO surplus.
This country Is now confronted by the
actual condition produced by putting
into practice this Democratic theory. Nor
Il that all or the worst of It. At the same
time that the treasury was being emptied
Of resources the country was being Grip
Piled. the avenues OF employment were
being closed. and he was fortunate
American who was not forced to pay
some tribute to Democratic ascendency.
we lost a great deal through Demo-
cratic policy. but We gained also. Tho
gain Is the instruction that comes
Though hard experience. AS one result
If this Instruction the people arc likely to
laugh at any man who harangueS
arainst a treasury surplus. A surplus
II no longer regarded as an evil but de-
melt Is. and the people have Just put in
powsrja party pledged TO do away With
the deficiency.
AIR. Bailey and his associates may as
well understand that they cannot fright
en- the people of this country with the
prospect oG a treasury surplus. The
more they howl against 1t the more they
viii find the people lining up against
them. The Republican party made good
use Of the surplus. but no economist has
ever been able to IND good use for de-
'hciency.

The dolngs In Berlin At the unwilling
OF the monument to the old Emperor VIII
liam have been very striking. The young
emperor omitted nothing that could pro-
duce a dramatic effect and bring him
self out in bold relief Indeed William
III seems to have used the remains and
memory not SO much to do honor to the
grandfather as 10 magnify the ONCE and
person OF the grandson. There was much
more OF the living young man than OF the
dead old man in It all.
And what an affair 1t was. The young
emperor, clad in gorgeous uniform of the
imperial body guard, at the head Of his
troops; princes. dukes, grand dukes and
kings in his train: praying, trumpet
blaring, booming, Haunting the
captured French Hags-all to the glory Of
the young man Of whom all Europe
stands in mortal terror lest he plunge It
into war; and through It ali distinctly
barbaric pote.
There Is no people more highly civil
lied than the Germans, and nowhere arc
they more highly cultured and refined
than In Berlin: and yet this performance
was as lacking in the clements Of real
civilization and real refinement as
though 1t had taken place in the heart Of
the Black Continent.
The truth is that the young emperor
docs not appear to be highly civilized
person. lie has come along about three
centuries behind the time.
