THE FOURTH REGIMENT.

AS stated yesterday there is good
deal of talk in military circles about
the probability of the Fourth Virginia
regiment, now with the Seventh army
corps at Savannah, being mustered oat,
While the matter has not been officially
brought to the attention OF the War
Department, there is little doubt that
the authorities have been looking into
the matter. The ranks of the regiment
have been so depleted by death, sick
ness and discharges that hardly 500
men out of the 1912 who went to Jack
sonville can now be turned out on aoy
occasion. The rest are either discharg-
ed or home on sick leave, or under
ground. The Governor is receiving
great patches of letters from members
of the Fourth, who want to quit the
service, and when he goes down TO Sa-
vannah this week he will try and ar
range for the discharge Of the men who
have good reasons for quitting the ser
vice. 1t is possible that some OF the
members of the Second regiment, soon
to be mustered out, will join the Fourth.

CANADA COMPARES.
why the Dominion Tarcd Worse Char
the United States.

why the Dominion Tarod Worse Chan
the United States.
The extraordinary trade showing Of
the United States for the past fiscal
year has attracted attention in Canada,
and our neighbors to the northward
are beginning to ask how it Is that
in this year of unexampled prosperity
for farm, factory and mill they failed
to enjoy their due and natural proper
ton. They have begun to institute
comparisons, and they find that ac-.
cording to their opportunities they fell
far behind the people on this side OF
the line. They were equally fortunate
in having a bountlful yield of agri-
cultural products and in being able to
sell their surplus at abnormally high
prices. Other things being equal, they
should have been able to surpass the
showing of the United States, for their
percentage of agricultural exports was
greater than that of our country.
But it is seen that other things were
not equal, and that therein is to be
found the secret of Canadas disoon-
tent. She had the best year in her his
tory in the matter Of the quantity and
prices of her agricultural exports, and
yet her excess Of exports over imports
was only 81 per cent, while the excess
scored by the United States was 100
per cent.
What caused this disparity? Manu-
features. Canada had very little to
sell outside of her foodstuffs, and her
imports Of foreign merchandise showed
no decrease as compared with former
years. The United States, on the con-
trary, increased her exports Of manu-
features alongside of her tremendous
output of farm products beyond all
previous records, and actually sold to
foreign countries more Of manufac-
tured commodities than she bought OF
them by about $50,000,000. In the one
case a sensible tariff system operated
to augment the demand for domestic
products and to diminish the demand
for imported articles, and left US
favorable trade balance of over SOLO,
100000. In the case of Canada only
relatively small proportion of the sur
plus realized from increased exports
remained at home; the remainder went
abroad, as usual, to pay for imports.
It was a question of tariffs pure anu
simple.

Then and Not Before.

Before we can witness a shipbuildina
boom in the United States some protec-
ton or preference must be shown for
our ships in competition with foreign
ships. The American standard of wages
must be maintained on sea as we'll as
on land, and the standard of living
on American shipboard must not BIO re-
duced to the level of living on foreign
ships. When these differences are
made good by government legislation,
then we may look for utilization Of our
abundant resources for the revival of
American shipping in the foreign
trade, but not before.-New York Com
mercial.

WIN ANOTHER PAPER.
DAVENPORT DEMOCRAT WILL
SUPPORT GOLD.
10 Puts the Vital Question In the Cam
paign to the Two Candidates for Con-
gress-Left No Choice but to support
the Republican Mr.. Lane.

For more than forty years the DAY.
EXPORT Democrat has been the foremost
democratic newspaper in Iowa. Its late
editor, d. N. Richardson, who died last
summer, was one of its founders, ard
through good report and evil report
held steadfastly to the principles OF
Jeffersonian democracy. It's present
bwner, j. ]. Richardson, was for eight
years, from 1883 to 1896, the Iowa
member of the democratic national
committee.
But in 1896 the Democrat could not
swallow the Chicago popocratic plat
form and in that campaign advocated
The principles laid down at Indianapo-
lis. Since that day it has striven to
bring Iowa democrats back to their
senses, but without avail. Silver Is
still the idol of the Iowa democracy
and 16 to 1 the party shibboleth'
Recognizing the paramount import
Ance of the money question in the con-
Eressional elections, the editor Of the
Democrat has propounded two ques-
lions to the local candidates for con-
sress as follows:
81. In the event of your election to
congress from the Second Iowa district,
would you support legislation, If ap-
proved by your party caucus, tavoring
the policy declared for at Chicago in
1896?
"2. Would you, If elected, work and
vote, regardless Of the action OF your
party caucus, to maintain and per-
petuate the gold standard?
"The Democrat will be guided in its
conduct of it's campaign by your an
swer."
To these queries Judge Ney, the dem
pcratic candidate has answered: NO.
|, "Most decidedly would" NO. 2,
mo, no honest man who understands
the money question, can support the
gold standard"
MIR. LANE, THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE ANSWERED AT ONCE:
ITO THE FIRST PROPOSITION I
SAY NO; TO THE SECOND PROPO-
SITION 1 SAY YES"
For the first time in it's long ana
honorable career the Davenport Demo-
crat will support republican for con-
gress, and indeed must do so in order
to maintain its own consistency as
democratic newspaper.
Mr.. Lane will also have the support
Of the sound money democrats OF his
district, and they are more numerous
there than in any other part Of the
state. That he will be elected there is
no reason to doubt if the honest money
voters will only turn out.
There is no party politics in this
campaign so far as the congressional
election is concerned The only issue
before the people is that comprised in
the questions proposed by the Daven-
bort Democrat. 1t is business issue
and goes to the welfare and prosperity
Of all the people, republican and demo-
crat alike. Every candidate through
but the land ought to be asked to an
swer the same questions, and, whether
democrat or republican, should be sup
ported according to his answer.

The Result of Dlnglcyism.

A Chicago dispatch says that COM
pany of German capitalists and steel
manufacturers has bought a tract OF
land from the Pullman company, just
outside of the limits of Pullman ana
is about to erect there an immense
steel plant covering about 20 acres.
This German company holds some
very valuable patents, and prior to the
enactment Of the Dingley law was do
ing a good business in Germany. But
the new tariff, designed to protect the
American manufacturers and encour'
age American labor, has brought this
great German institution to the United
States. 1t will employ at the outset
500 men, and as soon as the buildings
already planned are completed 1t Is ex-
pected that the full working force will
be between 1000 and 5000 men.
Under a free trade or low tariff
this German company could furnish
employment to German labor, ship its
products to the United States, under
sell American manufacturers and take
their employment away from American
workingmen. Under the Republican
system of protection if this German
company wishes to do any business in
the United States 1t must invest Its
capital in this country employ labor in
this country, expend hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars for wages in this coun-
try, and help contribute for the de-
velopment of it's resources.-Spokane

Growth of a Great Industry.

The growth of the tin plate industry
In the United States during the past
six years will form the most remark
able chapter in the history of our in
dustrial development. Attention Is
called lust now to the remarkable in
crease in our production of tin plate
by the announcement that the former
owners of the largest tin plate estab-
lishment in the world have disposed OF
their works in Swansea, Wales, and
are about to build a mandatory near
PittSburg.
The tin plate feature of the tariff
act Of 1890 was the storm center of the
attack from the opponents of that
measure. They ridiculed the tin plate
clause on the platform and in the
press.
In 1894 number of tin plate mills
we're in active operation in the Indiana
gas belt, and new plants were under
construction. At the close of the ifs
cal year it was found that the total
production in the United States had
risen from 13,646,719 pounds in 1892
to 1879, 22S ,467 pounds. The remarkable
growth of the industry since 1892 is re-
vealed by the following statistics Of
production furnished by the treasury
bureau of statistics, which give the
production in the fiscal years ending
June 80:

Farmers Can Understand It.

Under the Democratic tariff the i'm
portation Of wool shoddy, waste, etc.,
was over 4O0,OOO,O0O pounds during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, includ-
ing the wool in bond. Only 1876, 900, 900
pounds of wool was imported. The
farmers of this nation can readily un-
derstand the great benefit of the pro-
tective tariff.-Wauseon (Ohio) Repub-
lican.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1898-10-14

1t Is significant also that the decrease
in importations Of tin plate has kept
pace with domestic production. The
importations for the year ending June
30, 1898, were only III, 662,345 pounds,
or about one-fourth Of the average an
nual importations prior to the con-
struction of the first mill in this coun-
try. The decrease in the amount of
money sent out Of the country for for
eign tin plate is even more marked.
The value of the tin plate imported in
1889 was s21, 222,65S, while that for
1898 was but $S,sO9. 14S, a saving to
American labor of many millions Of
dollars.
