TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 81 1897

THE ACTORS of wise nations, IKE
those of average men, are Influenced
by selfishneas, not sentiment. HAD IL
been otherwise, the Confederstes would
have been successful in the war BE-
tween the States. A member OF the
ministry of the French republic, speak
ing OF the relations between his coun'
try and this one, says: Eyes, we have
traditional friendship, and desire to
maintain it. But friendship between
nations is not sentiment, but acts. Ii
YOUR new tariff excludes our goods
from your markets and Injuries our
trade, then you are unfriendiy and
hostile" And what this representative
of the French government says, on this
subject, expresses the feeling OF all the
members of all other foreign govern
ments. The absurd pretentions, r'dic-
ulous assumptions, discourteous frow-
srdness and jingoism of this govern
ment have long ago deprived it OF the
anity and careful consideration OF for
eign governments, aud now its new
tariff bill has provoked general antag-
opism, for, as Senator Morgan well
saws, it is declaration of commercial
war against the rest Of the world.

THE NEW tariff bill, to the passage OF
which the boilers lent all their assis-
lance, by helping the republicans to
elect their Presidential and COMPRESSION
al candidates last fall, is calculated to
work more injury to the people OF this
country than any so called revenue
measure that was ever before enacted
by Congress; for while it increases the
taxes of the poor, it exempts from taxa
ton the rich; it tends to suppress small
manufactures, but to foster the large
ones and to promote trusts and mo-
nopolies; it must restrict the exports OF
the country by compelling foreign mer-
chants to buy them with scarce
gold instead of by exchanging for them
the abundant products of their own
countries; it compels the farmers to sell
in the cheapest and buy in the dearest
market; and yet, with all this, it is
doubtful if it will raise enough money
to meet the actual expenses of the gov
eminent. The bill is work of which
none of those engaged in it can be
proud, but least of all the boilers.
