RUSSIA'S SEASICK NAVY.

Russian sailor carries his hands like

A VICIOUS POLICY.

We are not surprised to see some oil
the lead .nR Republican papers ad'
hitting that the prOte caon business
has been pushed too far and that ii
behooves their Iarty to take the back
track in the tariff legislation.
The pleas and arguments for a pro
teotive tariff which were formerly
plausible and more or less popular
have lost much OF their force and it
u becoming clearer every day that
what is called protection operates for
tho benefit of very 4mall number OF
people and against the interest Of the
masses.
1t can no longer be commended that
our hiGhly protected industries need
the tariff wall to SHELTER them from
runlnons foreign competition or to
insure their hold ON the home market
This cannot be true when these in
drstrIes are constantly extending
their trade further and further in
neutral markets and are even invad
my the home markets or the rivals
from whom they have asked to be
protecteed in this country.
Our export Of manufactures have
been increasing for several years with
wonderful rapidity and their growth
continues unabated. For the nine
months ending April l, 1899 the ex
port mauufacI ures from the United
Suites annnnted TO SAB .0D0.0OU
against S2u9,0O0,OO0 for the nlne
months ending Ayril l. 1893, and the
record for that period was consi tered
phenomenal. Onr steel man ufactures
have recently beat their most formId-
able rivals, the British rnal ufacturers
for gre1t contracts in British passes
sion. and even in the heart of Eng
land itself. Sewing machines, bicy-
cles,, agricultural implements and
various h. r articles of general use
are now sol abroad by our manufac
turers cheaper than any others, and
even cheaper than they are Sold at
home, " here the tariff enables them to
put on "A price considerable higher
than is charge in foreign markets.
It is not strange that the masses Of
the pc 'ple of this country are asking
where they come in on the protection
schedule.
But what is raising the opposition
to protective duties most rapidly is
the PROSTITUTION OF them to the ser.
vice Of the trusts. Combinations of
capital and Industries are making
impossb]e the competition winch we
we're told would be go stimulated by
high tariff as to insure prices ri
manufactured products that would be
favorable to the cOpsumer. The
protected interests have shrewdly
concluded that it pays them better to
pool against the consumer than tc
compete with each other. Being
safe from foreign competition ty
reason OF the tariff wall they are en-
abled to carry ont this program very
thoroughly and they are extending il
every day.

NEW ARMY LAW.
Will Effect Severe Gripping of

WASHINGTON, March Bone effect
of the new army law will be severe
Gripping of the signal service and the
Reorganization of its force in the field.
There are GOO volunteer men in the
signal service, and all of these Will
have to be discharged. Their places
could be filed by men re-enlisted as
regulars, but about -eighths OF
them already have applied for DIS
charge with the intention of leaving
the service altogether. Out of the total

will be entitled to discharge ION the

pay of a Captain Not until August
18th following will he reach the age Of
81. The junior Captain of the navy on
January 1st- was Captain Edwin
White, commanding the flagship Phil
adelphia, and he was SO years old when
he received his commission. Constructor
Hobson, therefore. gains about twenty
six years.
In the ordinary course Of promotions
in the naval construction corps, how
ever, Hobson will not reach the senior
position of Chief Constructor before
1922, or ten years, before his own retire
ment, and in the meantime he will re-
main twenty-one years in the grade Of
Captain, which is nearly three times as
long as officers ordinarily retain that
rank
Whether Constructor Hobson will ac-
cept the promotion given him is, curl
ously enough. a matter Of doubt to
those with whom he talked before he
started for Hongkong. Immediately
after the sinking of the Merrimac the
advancement of ten numbers given him
to-day was offered to him, but he hesi-
tated to accept it, exhibiting a strong
preference for transfer and promotion
in the line to the foot of Lieutenant
Commanders. He left the impression
with his friends that he aspired to Sc
cure the same proportionate advance
ment in that arm of the service as had
been offered to him in the Staff Corps,
amounting to $50 numbers, which
would have resulted in his becoming
the senior Rear Admiral of the service
at the age of 40.

Der OF the CreW Lost.
HALIFAX IN. s. March 3. The
Government steamer Aberdeen has ar
rived here from Sable Island, bringing
the crew of the wrecked steamer Mo-
ravia, which was lost ON the northeast
bar of the island last month. Second
Officer Brinton is the only one lost Of a
crew of forty
Captain Joginson was seen by an
Associated Press correspondent on
board the Aberdeen. His story shows
that the Moravia was short of coal
and bound for Halifax when the dis
aster occurred. She had a rough voy-
age, and had only 100 tons of coal
when compelled to change her course.
For several days afterward Captain
Joginson was unable to take observa-
tions, and on the 18th inst. the vessel
struck on the extreme northeast end
of the dry bar Within two hours the
ship began to break up, and the crew
were forced to leave at once. Signals
from the Moravia were seen and an
swered by the Sable Island lifesaving
crew. I4ifeboats were launched and
the crew were taken off as fast as
possible. The sea was very heavy at
the time and the weather was bitter
cold. While being landed Second Ofli-
Ger Brinton died from exposure. The
Moravia broke amidships shortly after
the crew left. and Immediately COM
menced to settle in the sand. Much of
the cargo has f1oated ashore and is
being picked up by those on the island
