MADRID, Jan. 2S, 1S9S.-A semi-official
note just issued, in relation to the visit
of the United States battleship Maine to
Cuba, says
This necessitates Captain General
Blanco sending a battleship as well as
the cruiser vizcaya to visit American
ports. The visit will be made the occa-
sion for festivities in honor of the Span
ish sailors and the different naval com
manders will exchange visits. The forth
coming festivities are regarded mere, as
we'll as in Washington, as a pacific dem
onstration calculated to be satisfactory
to both countries.
The "Herald' says that, besides the ac-
Cadiz. a fleet of four torpedo boats and
five torpedo boat destroyers will be sent
to guard the coasts of Cuba.

NATIONAL POLICY
AND PRICES.
The course of prices
in Great Britain and in
the United States DUR
ing the last year has
been curiously instruc-
tive as an illustration
of the effect of differ
ent economic policies.
Since this country
largely supplies Eng
land with bread and
meat, cotton and oil,
and in many other i'm
portant products, trade
between the two coun-
tries is constant and
large, there is a nat
ural tendency towards
an equaliZ ation OF
prices. So close was
this equalization under
the tariff of 1890, that
in october, 1892, the
month before a change
of policy by the United
States was decreed at
the election, American
prices of all commodi-
ties averaged 24.4S per
cent. lower than on
January l. 1860. while
British prices, shown
by the tables of the
London Economist, "
averaged 23.74 per cent.
lower than on January
/, 1860. But since that
time r e m a r k a b l e
changes have taken
place, and none more
instructive than those
of the last year.
This decline in prices
the Economist" right
ly considers evidence
that they are not con-
trolled, as silver advo-
Gates claim. by the
price or disuse of sill
yer or by scarcity of
gold. But to the lesson
which is taught by
comparison with Amer
lean prices. The Eco
nomist'' is naturally
blind. The fact that
prices in this country
were, in October, 1896,
12.4S per cent. lower
than in Great Britain,
on both sides the prices
of 1860 being taken as
a basis, bears testi-
mony to the workings
of an economic policy
which tended power
fully to depress Ameri-
can industries. And the
fact that during the
later months, while
nriees in Great Britain
have been dragging
downward, d prices in
this country have re-
| covered 50 that they
! now are not five per
! cent. below those of
Great Britain teaches
a truth which British
writers refuse to see

THE ERROR OF FREE
TRADERS.
1t almost passes be-
lief that any man
whose duties compel
him to observe events
at all can yet be igno-
rant that the tariff un-
der which the produc-
ton of steel rails rose
from nothing to over
2.000,0 900 tons in a year
did not prevent, but
actually promoted, the
reduction in price from
STA a ton in 1868 to $19
in 1897, or of the SINH
lar experience in many
other products during
thirty years, and in
tin-plates even now.
People who never can
comprehend that pro-
lection is the shortest
and surest road to per-
manent cheapening of
products for consumers
and that the profits of
the rail mill with rails
at $19 are greater than
they ever were with
rails at $3.50, really can
not have opinions worth
hearing or changing.
The national system
which gives the advan-
tage in the home mar
ket to the home pro-
ducer offers to him a
large business if he
can do it within a
moderate margin of
profit. If he succeeds,
others undertake the
same manufacture and
enter into competition
for the profits, natur-
ally pushing down
prices for all. The re-
suit is a cheapening of
the. product for con-
sumers, even down to
the point where there
ceases to be living prof
it for all, so that some
concerns have to lie
idle until the demand
increases. -" Tribune, !"
