They Mean the Protection OF American

The policy Of discriminating duties
means neutrality-suspicious. for Amerl'
can ships in the foreign trade.
1t means the construction in Ameri-
can ~shipyards from American materials,
the production Of which gives employ
ment TO people iii the far interior, OF
the ships which we need for our ocean
carrying trade.
1t means the retention at home OF a
sum estimated as high al $500, 600, 600
annually, which sum is now paid to
foreign shipowners for doing American
carrying
That on land and on sea new employ
ment will be given to III idle citizens
That this nation would the more
quickly supply the West Indies, Central
and South America with the goods
which they are so anxious to purchase
from us, because regular, frequent and
direct communication would increase
both our exports to them and their cx-
ports to us, and this hemisphere as a
consequence would become more and
more dependent upon itself and inde-
pendent of the rest of the world
That the safety of the nation as well
as the employment of a large number
Of its citizens is involved in the posses
sion Of our own ships and u W FOR
eign carrying
That protection to our ships In COM
petition with foreign ships is just as
necessary as the protection of any other
industry which is subject to foreign
competition
That the tariff can be made to protect
our ships as well as any other manufac-
lures.
That the tariff should be made to pro-.
tcct our ships to the fullest extent posi-
ble-at least to the extern that other in
dustries are protected by the tariff.
That the adoption Of tile discriminate
ing duties policy would materially add
to our revenues, thus rendering unneces-
sary the adoption of free trade methods
of taxation

FARMERS INTERESTS.
Protection Afforded by Proper Admins
~tration OF DingIey Bill.

Administration is quite as important
as legislation, and this is well illustrat-
ed in the policy Of the treasury depart
ment in the collection of duties under
the Dinglcy tariff Indeed with a pro-
~tective administration Of the Wilson
German monstrosity that measure would
not have had such "A disastrous effect
upon American industries. To illus
trate this we cite the recent rulings of
the treasury department upon the ques-
ton Of hides, which viii be fully appre-
ciated by the agricultural interests
throughout the country II will be re-
membered that the Dingley tariff places
a duty upon hides in the following Ian
guage;
Hides of cattle, raw or uncured,
whether dried, sailed or picked, 10
per centum ad yalorem.
As o as the full effect Of this pro-
vision became known the importer at
tempted to establish the fact that calf
skins were not cattle hides, but fortu
natcly the treasury department decided
that they were cattle hides and citel
another portion of the Dingley tariff as
a definition to sustain this position,
which Is found IN the section OF the
law which places a tariff upon live ami
mails, which reads:
Cattle, if less than | year old, 81 per
head
A protection administration OF the
treasury department rightly decides
that when cattle under a year old are
slaughtered the product is cattlc hides
Tho Importance OF this will be- appre.
ciatcd when it is shown that probably
onc-third Of all the importations of
hidas are what are technically known
as Cllfskius Not satisfied with these
decisions, the importer then attempted
Il take advantage OF the provision in
the Diugley tariff which reads:
ARTICLES tho growth, produce and
manufacture of the United States, when
returned after having boeu exported,
without having been advanced IN value
or improved IN condition by any process
of manufacture or other means
We export more than 400, 600 cattle
on the hout annually, and it Is claimed
by the importer that the hides OF these
cattle can be reimportcd free of duty
Again protection administration of the
law comes 60 tho rescue of American in

prohibits the rrimportotlun of the hides

SUBJECT FOR LAUGHTER.
Organism. Which Last Year Excited Fear
Has Lost Its IerrOrs.

In Bryan's speeches IN st. Louis he
missed a grand chance to draw a paral.
lei between the conditions which pre-
vailed on Labor day this year and those
of the same day IL months ago, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. In Au-
gust, 1896, the treasury gold reserve
was down to 500, 600, 900 at one time,
but the certainty that the Bryanites
would be overwhelmingly beaten i'll the
elections in September sent the reserve
up a little.
This year the reserve has been III the
neighborhoOd of SLAP, 600, 900 or SAB,
900, 600 all through August, and is adj
vancing. Last year at this time people
were boarding gold and were looking
for another bond sale TO protect the
treasury reserve. This year nobody pays
any attention to the reserve, because
everybody knows the reserve can take
care of itself without any outside aid
Last year the specter Of Organism was
before the country, and the suspense
and dread just before the election blight
ed enterprise and created a sort of reign
of terror This year Organism is q sub
joct of laughter and 0 of fear.
/, 900, 600 men who were idle last Octo-
her are now at work at fair wages and
prosperity and happiness are seen on all
sides

THE GOLD
Condition Of the Treasury Solid Since Me
Kiuley's Election.


The intelligence that the government
ia not seeking any additions to the gold
reserve will call attention to the rad
ical change in the treasury situation
which has taken place since the cleo.
ton. In the canvass of 1895 there was
so much boarding Of gold ON account
Of the possibility Of Bryan's victory
that there was a serious fear at one
time hat another bond sale would have
to be made. Early in 1896 a sale Of
800, 900, 900 of bonds was negotiated.
and this ran the reserve up to 1928, 600,
600 in March of that year. The strength
which the silverites seemed to develop,
however, later on in the year sent the
reserve down rapidly, and at one time,
a few weeks before the election, it was
down to the 800, 600, 600 mark.
1T is many years since any such in
structions were issued before, " SAYS a
Washington dispatch, referring to the
hint given t o the s~ubtreasurer at New
York to make no special effort hereafter
to increase the reserve. 1t is indeed.
Not since 1890 has so much gold been
in the treasury as has drifted into it
since Bryan's overthrow. The increase
in the reserve Immediately after the
election was ~memorably prompt and
rapid. Hoarding ceased, and a contin-
uous stream OF gold flowed to the treas
ury from safe deposit vaults and pri-
vato hiding places of all sorts. The dan
ger had disappeared and everybody
knew that the gold standard would be
preserved. 1t was quickly seen that the
necessity Of a new bond sale was avert
ed, and, as any IL who had anything to
exchange for gold could get it, nobody
wanted it, preferring paper in its stead,
and it drifted to the treasury.-St.
Louis Post Dispatch.
