TRUTH OR 20 ETRY?

When the managers of an octopus are
talk is apt to be a strange mixture of
truth and poetry. Henry o. Havemeyer
one of the bosses of the great Sugar
octopus, was examined by the Industrial
commission yesterday. He opened his
testimony with vigorous attack upon
the customs tariff, which he declared
was the mother of all trusts" becom-
ing such by providing IAN inordinate
protection to manufactured articles"
This attack was made in a written
statement which the witness had pre-
pared before making his appearance be-
fore the committee, and which he read
in a ringing" voice. He asserted that
tariff of 10 per cent. was as high as
any tariff should be. He contended that
sugar is Disseminated against in the
tariff in the interest of the Louisiana
cane growers, the beet-sugar makers,
and the gar-growers of the Hawaiian
Islands To these interests he contend
ed the United States contributed $24,
900, 900, which was taken out Of the peck
cts of the people. The protection on
sugar amounted to only Is of a cent a
pound, or about IL per cent. ad va
loren. He said that it ought to be twice
as much.
Queer talk this. Can it be that there
is any truth in Mr.. Havemeyer's asser
ton that Protection is the mother of
trusts? Hasn't Protection protected the
people?

LIQUID AIR.

Liquid air was plenty enough and
cheap enough yesterday. 1t was SC
plenty and so cheap that nobody SEEM
ed to want it, 1t was also so warm that
it wouldn't refrigerate as the liquid air
we read about does. More liquid air is
predicted for to-day. A pleasing pros
pect. BY and by perhaps there will be
no difference between liquid air and
lukewarm water. There wasn't much
yesterday. But let us not repine. What

| The financiers of this country NAV
have in time past sold the Englishmen
piles of more or less good stocks and
bonds at high prices, but during the
last year and a half the Englishmen
have been selling piles of more or less
good stocks and bonds to this country
at high prices. The New York Journal
Of Commerce presents an estimate, or
guess, of the amount of American
stocks and bonds returned to this coun-
try since January /, 1893 In the first
half of 1898 the amount returned, it is
estimated, was Sis, 900; in the last
half s145, 600, 900. In the first half of 1899
the returned securities aggregate $115,-
900, 900. So we have had to take in the
last year and a half 1915 900 worth.
These securities were to a large extent,
it is supposed. sent in payment of the
recent large excess Of our exports. Gilt
tive holdings have been parted with.
To some extent the sales were influence
ed, it is thought, by past conditions-by
the conditions in 1896. Foreigners have
not yet gained our confidence in the
permanency of our present gold stand
ard. The present outflow of gold is at
tributed to the number of loans about
to be f1oated by foreign countries.

The British admiralty has decided to
make a determined effort to maintain
the gunnery practice of the navy in the
highest possible state of efficiency. Cap
tains Of large guns, and especially of
those mounted in turrets and barbettes,
are to be given every opportunity for
practice. BY an ingenious arrangement
the practice will be carried out by small
ouick-firing guns, trained and elevated
under the same conditions as the large
weapons, the only difference being that
when the large gun is accurately
brought to bear on the object the small
gun only will be fired, thus preserving
the life of the large gun and effecting
large saving of powder and shell. For
this practice there is to be no stint
whatever of ammunition, and the adj
miralty further request commanding Of
ficers to clearly understand that good
shooting and efficiency in the working
of big guns are always to be considered

Laughing 1t to Death.

IN the East they are quoting the
samples" of signed Journalism
which California has furnished since
the fool plan became law in that state
requiring signatures in certain cases.
The absurd California law which went
nominally into. effect several weeks ago
provides that every article which
tends to impeach the honesty, integ-
rity, virtue or reputation, or to publish
the natural or alleged defects of one
who is alive, and thereby expose him
or her to public hatred, contempt Or
ridicule, must be supplemented by the
true name of the writer"
Thus the newspaper publishers were
put in gratuitous peril, the presumption
being that, to their own view, every
signed article was libelous. In many
instances the newspaper owners con-
cluded to ignore the law and bring on
test of its constitutionalgty. They
have been appealing to Senator More
house to force a test. Already the law
has been ridiculed. apparently to its
