LOSING FAITH IN PROTECTION.

There are Indications that the manu-
facturers are losing faith in the Repub-
hcan doctrine of a protective tarin.
The cotton manufacturers of New Eng
land do not hesitate to say that the
Dingley tariff has done them no
good. They are worse off than they
were before that tariff was adopted.
They are beginning TO understand that
the tariff doctrine of the Democratic
party would contribute more to their
prosperity than the Republican doc
trine Of protection does.
What is il that our manufacturers
want at this time to make them pros
porous? Is it not a market tor the
products of their factories? it is ap-
parent that the domestic market of
which they have absolute control, and
OF which they would continue to have
control even If tariff in accordance
with the Democratic tariff doctrine
were substituted for the Dingley tariff
| is not great enough for their needs
They produce more than they can sell
and hence they are forced to sell below
the profit line That is the cause ol
their trouble at the present time. They
must have a foreign market, and tina
is difficult TO get under the Dingley tar
if. because that tariff so increases thu
cost Of manufactured products that sue
cessful competition with the manufac
turers Of other countries is PRACTICAL,

A question in English grammar might
be set in the schools from the follow

New York, April l5.-Mr. Loud of Cali

for voting against both the majority and

respondent Of the Times:
I'm the first place." Mr.. Loud said, II
regret war. i never would take such Steps
as would lead to war until every reaaono-
able means had been exhausted TO preserve
peace. While the conditions that exist in
Cuba have TO great extent mortified my
scn5ibilities of what is due from the go, :
ernmcnt 10 It's people, yet I could not conc
sent to the sacrifice of lives OF American
citizens.
The only cause of war existing be-
tween this country and Spain is the de-
siruction of the Maine. This coupir; was
stopped from going to war on that ac-
count by the report OF It's own naval board
OF inquiry until solne further investigation
had been made TO discover who was re-
sponsble for such destruction. Spain has
very promptly offered full reparatlon FOR
the destruction OF the vessel should it be
determined by further investigation that
spain was In any way responsible for its
destruction We should have Immediately
pushed the solution of the destruction OF
the Maine TO speedy determination and If
IL Vas found that Spain was in any way re-
sponsipie through any OF its citizens or
residents OF the island and did not imme-
dlateiy proceed TO bring TO justice and ex-
ecute the persons engaged therein and TO
offer such other reparation as was neecs-
sary. then we would have been fully JUS
lined In furnishing the Spanish nation with
all the power at our command.
Il don't ehlieve any nation has n right
TO Intervene and sacrifice the lives O. its
own citizens to save thosoe OF another
country.
Il regard the majority resolution as a
particularly vicious one for the reason that
II not only promises war, but threatens
10 involve us in other serious complica-
tions. regard il as dangerous prece-
dent, too, to turn over the war making
