THE TARIFF AND NoyoPoLrES

II is not easy to reason with men who persist
IN asserting that high prices for iron and its
prodncts are results Of the tariff and Of various
mononolies which IT fosters One cannot do
much mathematical reasoning with man who
denies that twice two makes four. Nor is II
possible 10 address as reasoning being any

trv Though producing more nj Ressomcr iron
and Of steel than ever. and more of all steel

meet The unprecedented demand. and under
such circumstances high prices would inevitably
result II there were no tariff When every steel
making interest I'm the country is putting forth
tho utmost effort TO extend production as fast
and as far a. possible there are yet found men
who say that the production is arifcially re-
strcted in order 10 cause high prices. with
such persons nobody can reason
Neither is n possible 10 reason with those
who pereiStently talk Of "monopolies created by
the tariff" when they cannot name single

actual monopoly i'm the production of iron or

Men who intend 10 seek the truth do not con-

formed in other countries and have relatively

meet those demands, and also part Of the
needs Of the United States. nobody explains.

industries which cause everywhere new and

WAR NEAR IT'S END.
Reports That the Trust Will Absorb
All Competitors.

Reports That the Trust VIII Absorb
All Competitors.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-According to
Wall street reports the war between
the sugar refining companies is very
near a settlement, and that in rather
an extraordinary way. 1t is said that
the consolidation of all the sugar rein
ing companies of the country is short
ly to be brought about and that the
American company has the project in
charge.
While it is impossible to get any YER
ification Of the report, it is regarded as
significant that in spite of the present
war. which is supposed by the public
to be costing the refining companies a
small fortune by reason of losses, sugar
stocks have been bought by insiders.
But whether this consolidation talk is
or is not without foundation it seems
to be very generally accepted that an
agreement between the warning COM
panies has practically been reached
the terms of which may be announced
at any time.

WANTS AN ALASKA HARBOR.
Great Britain Backs Canadas Excess4yt

| Great Britain Backs Canada S Excessive
Demands.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The Journal S
| Washington correspondent says: This
week will demonstrate the degree Of
actual friendship felt by Great Britain
| for the United States. Lord Pauncefote
| intends to press for settlement the
Alaskan boundary question by arbitra-
ton, and the offensive feature Of his
| insistence lies in the fact that Great
Britain stands behind Canada's demand
for a cession of Pyramid Harbor or
some other American tidewater port
J to Canada
The amiability of the American
British understanding" is not in a
superlative degree just now, and the
State Department, if it expressed its
sentiments, would declare our English
cousin is acting in a manner so sin
gular that it cannot be described as
wholly ingenious.
Grave suspicion is entertained in
official quarters that Great Britain,
flushed with success in forming an
alliance with Germany and forgetful
of the recent past, purposes to drive
a hard bargain with this country rela-
tive to the Alaskan boundary, and in
tends to complicate the matter, If pos
sible, by the injection of the Clayton
ir,tn no
In other words, Great Britain, it IS
believed here, intends to figuratiVely
seize Pyramid Harbor and Nicaragua
Canal. with neither of which she has
any legitimate concern, and pay Off one
against the other She will permit us
to build and own the Nicaragua Canal
is we give her Pyramid Harbor in
Alaska, at the head of the Lynn Canal,
or she may forego Pyramid Harbor II
she has equal interest in the pros
pective Nicaraguan Canal
Her intentions have become ap-
parent only within the last few days.
The day after Lord Salisbury made his
glowing speech at the Lord Mayor
banquet in London as to the frlendil-
ness between this country and Great |
Britain. the British ambassador, Lord

HURRY ORDERS.

LONDON, Nov 12.-Hurry orders
have been received by the builders Of
the Japanese battleship now in process
OF construction at Clydebank to COM
plete the vessel as speedily as possible.
The battleship, which will be one OF
the largest afioat, is to be finished by

tension between Japan and Russia.
