When the Wilson law went into effect
under it's operation there would be a
| great increase in the exports of manu-
! factures. Mr.. Wilson warned the Brit
! ish manufacturers who banuueted him
| in London that they would have to look
| out for their markets. for the American
| manufacturers would soon be in condi-
| ton to successfully compete for trade
| then almost exclusively in the posses
sion of the British. 1t is unnecessary 70
say that this prediction was not realized
There was, indeed, some increase in the
exports of manufactures, but it was not
| to any extent of those articles which
| the democratic tariff trainers professed
| to believe would find larger foreign
markets, while at the same time Amer
lean manufacturers lost IL much greater
proportion of the American market. Still
| the low tariff advocates have been eX-
ultingly pointing to the increase in the
exports of manufactures as q yindica-
ton of their views.
| The value of manufactured goods ex-
|
son law was &93.O0O.O0O greater than
in the last year of the Mckinley law,
but an examination of the statistics in
the report of the treasury department
for the fiscal year ended June 30 shows
that only very small part if any of
| this increase is to be ascribed to the
tariff. The truth Is that the claim or
assumption that a law tariff promotes
exports Of manufactures is utterly re
| futed by the facts. There is not n rea
sonable doubt that had the Mckinley
law been in force during the past three
years American manufacturers would
have found quite as much demand for
their goods abroad rs they did under
the Wilson law, while they would have
| had very much better home MARKET

HOW TO SUPPRESS WINE ROOMS.

The recent decision of Police Judge
Gordon declaring that women have the
same right to patronize saloons that
men have may be technically correct
The law makes no distinction on account
of sex in the regulation of the liquor
traffic and the ordinances of the city do
not make the patrons of the wine room
guilty of Il misdemeanor.
The law does, however, prohibit the
resorts with curtains, screens, or parti-
tions. and the violation of this provision
works a forfeiture of the license to sell
liquor. While strict enforcement of
this require 'aent' of the law has never
been attempted and may not be prac-
tcable. the subdivision of saloons into
wine rooms for the express purpose of
affording street-walkers and women of
bad repute place for plying their voca-
tion can and should be stopped by the
police authorities.
If the law as it now stands will not
reach violations of decency and good
order, it becomes the duty of the mayor
and council to enact ordinances that will
put an end to this evil. The proper way
to abate the wine-room nuisance is to
compel the keepers of such resorts to re-
move all the partitions, screens, curtains
and doors that separate these compart-
ments from the barroom. With such
an ordinance rgidly enforced there will
be no wine rooms to raid and no oc-
| casion to arrest women who want to
smoke cigarettes and share with men
their right to patronze barroom.

Consul Gene.al Lee. who is somewhat Of a
jingOist himself, reports that nearly four
of the $4,000 appropriated by congress with
considerable prccipitancy some months ago
for the relief of Americans famishing in
Cuba remains unexpended, and he is unable
to get any one entitled to the money to come
forward and claim 1t. This fact suggests that
during the debate in congress on the resolu-
ton to recognize Cuban belligerency there
must have been good deal OF exaggeraton
with regard to destitution on the island and
that Senator Morgan's American citizens
starving in one place ard languishing in
Spanish bastileS in another must have been
like Jack Falstaffs "rogues in buckram."

him, and, while actual suffering always

rushed off to Alaska unprepared for the

Prediction TINT Failed.

When Bryan predicted that wheat would
drop to 25 cents a bushel If Mckinley were
elected he perhaps did not think it would go
above 81 instead There is chance, too, that
it will go far higher than the dollar line.
The farmers whom he deluded may not be
mad at him for his false prophecy, but it Is
safe to say they are sorry they voted for
him. The agricultural regions will be the
enemy's country to Bryan if he ever startc
out on another political crusade.

SO many reports have been sent out
by the newspaper men on the grounds
concerning the Lattimer shooting that
it is difficult to discover whether the
order to shoot was necessary to dis
perse the strikers or not. All ac-
counts, however, agree that the men
were on public property and what their
Intentions were are matters of con-
lecture. That the courts should issue
an injunction against demonstrations
made at the mines or on property
owned by private citizens was no more
than right, but to forbid mon to use a.
public highway and shoot them down
there for Intentions which they can
only be suspected of holding is cor
talnly going too far. While we do not
uphold anarchy and riot, we believe
that personal liberty must be consid-
cred whether the victims are strikers or
officers, and the shooting of these un-
armed miners is nothing less than
murder. 1t is unfortunate, too, that it
should have occurred at this time,
The compromise was almost effected
