TIE THKEATENEH TARIFF WAR.

THE THREATENED TARIFF WAR.
The latest information regarding the
feeling in Europe toward the tariff bill
pcnding in congress has Il rather more
serious tone than the reports which pre-
ceded it. These had pointed out, indeed,
that there existed in European countries
Il very strong sentiment of hostility to
the proposed tariff legislation of the
United States. EX-MiniSter EuStiS, on
his return to this country. stated
that all Europe was up in arms
against the tariff bill and that it
was certain to lead to retaliation There
were also protests from European gov
crnmcnts, based on the ground that the
proposed tariff would contravene treaty
stipulations. The latest expression of
opposition comes from Il commercial
body, said to be the most important in
France, which in a circular sent TO
United States senators declares: The
proposed tariff is not protection, but pro
hibitiOn. You are entering Il new kind
Of warfare, not II lesser evil than rcgu-
lar war. The closing of the American
market will certainly force us and all
Europe 10 enter Il tariff war. Duties
against American produce will be raised
in the same proportion and the suffering
population of Europe will League together
to boycott your goods" The president
of this organization is quoted rs saying
that our tariff will throw thousands in
France ont Of work and that that cOuu-
try will be compelled to exclude all
American goods.
Here is an unqualified threat of re
taliatiOn which it may safely be assumed
not only represents the general CONNER
clal sentiment in France. but the oil
cinl sentiment also. There is reason 10
believe that il voices rs well the feed
ing of Il large and influential element
in other continental countries whose con
merciAl interests With the United States
would be affected hy the proposed tarm'
law. There is certainly II tariff war M
tment in Germany, with which the cml-
pcror himself is understood to be in sym
pathy. and there is more ol less of such
feeling in AuStria-llungaly and in Bel
GUM. But it may wrll be doubted
whether it would be possible to unite
all Europe in n tariff war against the
United States The consumers i'm the
countries from which the loudeSt com
plaint comes will have something to say

result in increasing the cost of living and

VIM GO OVEN.

The senate committee on foreign re-
lations has agreed to report the Hawaii
an annexation treaty without amend
ment. but it will not do so until the regu-
lar session. A late Washington dispatch
stated that the president desires speedy
action on the treaty feeling that its ap-
provnl would remove complications that
now threaten but the decision to let the
matter 90 over indicates that there Is no
great anxiety in the executive depart
ment of the government respecting it. AS
to threatened complications, it does not
appear that there are any. Japan haS
presented her view of the case and our
government has made its response
Nothing more is likely to be done, for
nobody seriously believes that the Iapa-
ucsc government will take any steps of
an aggressive nature. 1t has been Sug-
gcStcd that some sort of an understands
ing was possible between Spain ana
Jnunu unfricndly to the United States
but that is obviously absurd. Japan
would have nothing to gain by entering
into any sort Of alliance with the bank
rupt and moribund spanish monarchy
and the oriental nation has no desire to
antngonize the United ->atcS, as the
entirely amicable expressions of its gov
crnment abundantly show, its only pur-
pose being to insist that its rights and
interests guaranteed by treaty shall be
respected. In this it occupies Il perfectly
legitimate position, one which the United
States would most certainly take under
similar circumstances.
1t is we'll to put off consideration of
the treaty. so that ample time shall be
allowed for its public discussion and
senators be given an opportunity for
acuuainting themselves with the sen
timcntS of their constituents. Washing
ton in midsummer is not the best place
for calm dclibcration on matter OF this
kind and some senators who now favor
annexation may change their minds,
under different influences, before next
winter.

framed in spirit of hostility to other
countries, but with view to providing
the government with adequate revenue
and giving American industries reasoh-
able measure of protection. 1t is not, as
alleged. prohibitivc, because to have
made it so would have been to defeat
its chief purpose of supplying revenue.
Perhaps certain foreign industries will
suffer somewhat from IT, but fears in
this direction are probably exaggerated,
ana mt all events we cannot reasonably
bc expected to shape our tariff policy
with reference to the possible effect upon
foreign Industries. A tariff war is highly
improbable aud it is safe to say that the
threat of it will have no influence upon
the action of congress.

The Wheat Crop.

The government crop report. which shows
an improvement in the condition Of wheat
as compared with month ago ia encourag
ing. Last months condition indicated a
handsome incresse in the total yield as com
pared with the crop in 1896, while the osti-
mates which are now furnished show that
the gain will be greater than was expected
four weeks ago. While the wheat crop in
the United States is reasonably sure TO be at
least 10000, 0go bushels larger than it was in
1896, the condition in Russia, France, Aus
tria-Hungaty and Great Britain. as reported
by the European agent of the United States
Department of Agriculture, indicates
smaller yield in those countries than was
bad last year. All this is good news for the
American wheat grower He will have more
to sell than he had in 1896 and the falling
off in the crop in most of the important pro
ducing countries Of Europe will give him a
market for his surplus at fair prices.

THE Grooming CROPS.

The crop outlook is n matter Of com
manding interest and for this country 1t
is at present most favorable. The situa-
ton is not so promising elsewhere 1t is
thought that the wheat crop in France
will be short GOOOOO 900 bushels. India is
expected to have 1J.woOOO bushels less
than in last years famine harvest. Aus
tralia is buying American wheat, Argcn-
tine has no surplus for shipment and
Russia and the Danubian countries are
certain to have deficient harvpSts. one Of
the best authorities in this country csti-
mates that the yield of wheat in the
United States will he 515OOO,OOO bushels,
the largest crop ever gathered except in
1891. If this shall lac realized the United
States will have handsome surplus and
the indications are that all of it will be
in demand at better prices. There is
favorable promise also for a good corn
crop though it will not be rs large as
that of last year, while the prospect for
other grains is reported to be SatiSfac-
tory.
With abundant crops this year, bring
ing fair prices tariff law giving r"as-
enable protection to our Industries and
the certainty ef financial stability. the
restoration of general prosperity in the
United States will be assured. All these
conditions it appears safe to count upon

hopefully. Every aspect of the situation

POPULAR Judges.

Aberdeen News.-Governor Shell
don's judicial appointments seem to
have been eminentlv satisfactory to
the people. His first appointee, Su-
preme Judge Fuller, commands uni
versal confidence and will undoubt-
edly be elected upon the expiration
of his term. Judge Gaffy, who was
appointed to the seat on the bench
of the 9th circuit made vacant by
the promotion of Judge Fuller, was
recently nominated by acclamation
as his own successor, and is so well
liked the populists will not put up q
candidate against him. Then at
Mitchell, on Saturday, Judge Frank
Smith, who was appointed to sue
ceed Judge Haney after the latter's
elevation to the supreme bench, was
the unanimous nominee of the r'epub-
licans of his circuit for the same po-
sition. Judge Haney, OF the supreme
court, also the appointee OF the gov
ernor, is highly respected and highly
popular, and can be elected to the
place without the slightest difficulty.

Tin plate, which our democratic
statesmen said some years ago
would never be manufactured in this
country, is not only being manufac-
tured successfully now, but is being
exported from this to other coun-
tries. A little time usually proves
that republican policies are all right,
when the opposition hubbub entirely
ceases. The republican principle OF
protection is almost the settled poll
CIV OF the American people-so far as
this generation is concerned, not
withstanding the one-time thunder
GUS noise for free trade, the markets
of the world, etc. The republican
principle of sound money is the same,
and the longer they think about it
the less do people want any cheap
money scheme. A tremendous hur-
rah in opposition to somerspublican
principle or policy OF government is
invariably followed later on by just
as general endorsement.
