law 100000 pounds of wool, the i'm
ports of the corresponding six months
of the previous year, when wool came
in free under the Wilson law, were 49,
100000 pounds. In fruits the figures
show $6,20O,O00, for the Dingley and
$7,5OO,OOO for the Wilson law; in veg
etables, $731,OOO and $99s,OOO, respect
lively; in hay, 1892 and $502,0O0; in
oranges and lemons, $1,500,000 and 49,
100000; in chicory, $4,000 pounds and
100000 pounds.
In manufactured articles the discrep-
ancy Of importations for the two Pc
riods is equally marked. Tin plate dur
ing the Dingley period was purchased
abroad to the amount of SO,OOO,OO
while the quantity for the Wilson Pc
riod was 106,O00,0O0 pounds; manufac-
lures of fibers, $S,7O0,00O and $12,50O,-
coo; manufactures of wool, $500, 900
and $14, 100000; pottery, $3,360,O0O and
$5,OOO,O0O; lumber and manufactures Of
wood, $5,60O,OO0 and $S,75O,00O; cut
lery, $4,000 and $950,OO0.
Measured in dollars the decrease in
imports of articles coming directly into
competition with domestic products
amounted to fully $3O,OOO,OO0 in the
first six months of the Dingley law,
while for the nine months ending
March 81, 1898, the total decrease was
$43 ,667, 29S. All this time the revenue
receipts were constantly increasing up
to the point where the war excitement
began to have an injurious effect upon
commerce of all kinds, and the Dingley
law was proving itself splendid sue
cess alike as to protection and reve-
nues. The contrast shown in the opera
ton of the two laws is in all ways a
striking one. 1t is the contrast between
sound and unsound fiscal policies, be-
tween the patriotic good sense of pro-
lection and the Anglophobic folly OF
free trade.

HIGH PRICES RULE IN DAWSON.
Scores Would Leave if Certain Of
Reaching Civilization.

William Newton has arrived in Taco
ma from Dawson, having started out
April 2. He has little to say himself, but
brought out letters which detail conditions
at Dawson up to the time he left. When
he left, Dawson was suffering from an
epidemic Of scurvy, caused by improper
food, or rather lack Of variety in diet.
The hospital was crowded with patients
and others were sick in cabins. The
health conditions were worse than ever,
before, and no doubt exists that many
deaths will occur before the miners are
able to take the river steamers to civili-
cation. This feeling is so general that
dozens would come out overland If certain
they could reach tide waters safely at
this season. March was unusually warm
in the Klondike country, and the snow
melted rapidly. /
G. @. Pagett, writing on March %,
says many new buildings were being
started. Lumber was hard to get at $3.50
per 1000, and dressed lumber at $3.50.
1t was impossible to obtain nails, Sd and
SIS pound being the lowest prices quoted
for eight and ten penny. Wooden pegs
were being used instead Twelve or if
teen horses have survived the winter, and
the owners are earning big money haul
ing logs. Many dog teams are engaged in
the same work. Food prices were high,
-four $50 per sack, lard So per pound, but
ter So per pound, and other provisions on
the same scale. Very few had anything
to sell. Real estate prices were also sky
ward. Two front street lots, near the old
opera house site, brought $4,000 In
March. Prices Of all unsold lots have
been raised from 500 to 1000 each.
Considerable specializing is going on in
the buying and selling of dumps"

Practical Results.

Some interesting facts relative 10 the
operation of a policy designed to benefit
American labor and industries, wheth-
er of the factory on the farm, are
shown in the Treasury Department sta
tistics of the imports of twenty leading
articles during the first six months Of
the Dingley law, compared with the i'm
ports of the same articles during the
corresponding six months of the pre-
ceding year under the Wilson law. A
decided falling off in our purchases of
foreign merchandise is indicated
throughout the entire list, and in near
" every case the decfease in importa-
ton has necessarily resulted in larger
purchases Of nome products.
For example, while we inherited dur

Americas OnDortunity.

A recent estimate of the total pur-
chases by the United States of Ameri-
can vessels for war purposes places the
tonnage thus transferred from private
hands to Government ownership at 3d.,
700 tons. Additional purchases made
since the date of this estimate will
bring the total tonnage up to at least
100000. So far none but iron and steel
steam vessels have been bought by the
Government. At this rate of absorb
ton a wide gap in existing American
tonnage will result. For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1897, the total iron and
steel steam tonnage built on the At
lantic and Gulf coasts amounted to 81,
$50. 1t would therefore require nearly
five years Of construction at the same
rate to make good the Withdrawals of
ships for Government uses.
A great shipbuilding boom is evident
ly due In short time. In addition to
the large depletion of our merchant
fleet as consequence Of war emergen-
cies there is to be spent by the Govern
ment at once in American shipyards
between $15,O0O,O00 and $2O,OO0,000 for
battle ships, cruisers, monitors, torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers. The
situation and outlook are such as to
confirm the view recently expressed by
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie as to the wisdom
of esta blishing near New York an I'M
mense shipbuilding and dry dock plant.
With the g eat development in our
naval equipn ont that is certain to take
place within the next decade there
should come a vast revival in Ameri-
cas- merchant marine. Under suitable
and sensible protection and encourage
ment in the shape of national legisla-
ton American shipping will rapidly
overtake and come abreast with other
departments of American industry. We
have tried the free trade policy of al
lowing foreign ships to enter Ameri-
can ports on the same terms as Ameri-
can ships, and have seen, as conse-
quence, the almost total obliteration Of
our oversee carrying trade.
Resulting from this free trade folly
the percentage of imports into America
in American vessels fell from GO per
cent. in 1860 to 33 per cent. in 1870, and
to Is per cent. in 1896. From $353,OOO,-
600 in 1870 the value of exports and i'm
ports in American vessels fell to $780,
100000 in 1896.
This is not a creditable record for
great and powerful nation like the
United States. The fact that foreign
ships carry and exact freight charges
upon $50 out Of every $500 worth Of
American exports and imports does not
speak we'll for the keen commercial
shrewdness with which the United
States is very generally credited.
There will be great need of American
merchant ships when the pending con-
flict with Spain shall have ended in vic
tory for American arms. Whether the
war shall last ten weeks or ten months
Congress cannot better employ the In
terval of time than in maturing legisla-
ton that shall restore the American
flag to the mastheads of an American
merchant marine that is worthy Of the
name.

STEREOTYPERS' STRIKE
Chicago Still Without a Daily News
paper

CHICAGO, July 2-None of the English
papers were published In Chicago today,
owing to a strike among the stereotypers.
The stereotypers demand reduction in the
hours of labor and an increase in wages.
1t was refused, and as a result they refused
TO go to work. The following newspapers
have entirely suspended publication pend
ing a settlement of the issue:
Times-Herald, Record Tribune, Chronicle,
Inter Ocean. Evening Post, Daily News,
Evening Journal and the Dispatch.
A meeting of the publishers was held at
II o'clock this morning to arrange plan Of
campaign and to provide for the resuming
of publication at the earliest moment. and
1t was announced that no paper could be
published tomorrow morning. The pub
fishers are acting together and will con-
tinue to do SO. Already they have received
large number Of applications from stereo-
typers in other cities and IN Isl the general
belief that since something like 200 EN-
ployes are directly involved, the suspension
will not be long. An INN eddate influx Of
stereotypers from other cities Ia expected
ard has in some measure begun.
The intense interest In the battle at Santi-
ago renders the situation a peculiar one,
and this fact was undoubtedly seized upon
by the operatives. There il little public
feeling aroused against the operatives be-
cause OF this phase of the case.

The forward movement of the American
troops on Santiago was started at daylight
when there was a general movement all
along the line. The order Of battle was the
First and Tenth cavalry, the Third, Sixth
and Twenty-first infantry, one squadron
of the Ninth cavalry under Gen. Lawton,
with the rough riders massed on the left.
The plateau was held by four pieces Of ar
tillery and siege guns. A movement to-
ward Santiago from the northwest was
made with the purpose Of clearing the val
ley for a general engagement later. Tele-
graph lines are following up the advance
In fine style.
At this hour four Americans are reported
dead and sixteen wounded, all of the Twen-

NEWS OF The ATTACK
DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERAL
BATTLE
List Of the Troops Engaged and Par
tial List of the Killed and
Wounded

NEW YORK, July IA dispatch to the
Herald from the headquarters Of the Am
erican army before Santiago de Cuba, July
!, via Playa Del Este, says:
Major-General Shafter this morning be-
gan with great vigor the attack on the
outer defenses of Santiago.
From three directions the American
forces advanced toward the doomed city
while General Lawton and General Wheel
err were attacking Caney, northeast of San
tiago. General Kent was advancing to-
ward Aguadores.
General Garcia, with his Cuban troops,
at the same time approached Caney from
the southeast and the other divisions of the
American army pressed toward Santiago
from the east, our forces thus presenting
solid front from the coast to General
Linares northern defenses.
Four members Of the Twenty-flrst Regi-
ment were killed in the fighting between
Sevilla and Aguadores. while 10 other Am
orleans, all members Of the Twenty-frst,
were wounded.
Both the American and Spanish fleets
early Joined in the battle. While Admiral
SIMPSONS men were reducing the recently
emplaced batteries at Aguadores, Admiral
Cervera's fleet was hurting shells In the
direction Of the American and Cuban lines.
Two batteries OF light artillery, acting
under orders from Major-General Shafter,
who went to the front at the head of the
troops, began the battle Of Santiago by at
lacking Caney. From this village direct
road leads into Santiago and the advance
of our forces will be irresistible when they
gain possession of this road.
General Joe Wheeler. with detach-
ment of his cavalry command, and General
Garcia with his Cuban troops, quickly
Joined General Lawton's men in the ad-
vance upon Caney. The Spaniards fought
desperately to prevent Caney from falling
into the hands of our forces. 1t was q vain
effort.
Before the fighting had been long under
way, the Americans and Cubans gained
advanced ground. Foot by foot the enemy
was driven back into the village.
It was evident after the first hours
fighting that General Shafter had accur-
ately gagged the strength Of the enemy,
and that he would be able to drive the
Spaniards into Santiago at his pleasure.
1t was with difficulty that the command
ing officers restrained the ardor of our
troops until the hour for beginning the at
tack came. The enthusiasm Of the Ameri-
can forces was intense and their spirit
quickly spread to the Cuban troops. All
have shared the belief Of General Shafter
that Santiago could be taken by sharp,
persistent attack, and they have been i'm
patient to advance.
Brigadier- General Kent who commands
the center Of the general line of attack
started the Twenty-first regiment of reg
ulars toward Aguadofes at the same hour
General Lawton's men advanced toward
Caney. Upon these troops fell the brunt of
the battle to the southeast of Santiago
during the early hours of the day.
