HOW NOT TO DO Ir.

What the country needs Is not heavy

ume The people will not tolerate
many stamp taxes in time of peace
lhey are not only direct assessment
on business operations. but are ex-

the United States are in hurry. That
is their chronic condition. They have
no time to lick stamps where 1t can be
avoided.-Buffalo Courier.
This is the Democratic idea of how
10 make country prosperous and
happy. Increase the revenues by in
creasing the importations. which can
only be done by reducing the duties
to a point where foreign manufactures
are able to crowd out our domestic pro-
ducers. OF course every dollars worth

say. 1t will render altogether unneces-
sary any tax on beer and whisky, and
enable the government to get along on
customs collections alone. To be sure
it would incidentally give to foreigners
the complete monopoly and control OF
the greatest market in the world. for
that would inevitably be the result OF
increased revenues from increased i'm
portations. But that is a triiling detail
compared with the triumph OF the cen

The Policy which Increases the Use OF
American Goods by Americans.
The London Economist, analyzing
the British Board of Trade statistics
for July, finds that during the seven
months the value of Great Britains
export trade to the United States was
almost exactly cut in half. 1t Is true
that such exports in 1897 were slim
ulated by the wish to anticipate the
Dingley tariff yet the seven months
summary shows that while the snip
ments of leading articles to this coun-
try decreased this year $2S,OOO,O0O from
1897, they also decreased $ls,4oo,oVo
from 1896, when there was nothing to
stimulate an abnormal movement OF
the kind. The Economist itself is con-
strained to admit. after reviewing
these figures, that, although exports
to America may revive with the com
plete exhaustion of the stocks laid In
last year. they are not likely to re-
turn to their former magnitude. In
the case of many articles" adds the
Economist, at must be concluded that
