brightest prospects before him, he is
overcome by some calamity, and down
his business goes. He is n good fellow,

what is the matter with him.

in foreign markets against the large rail

amusing TO see it argue that such con

proofs of the efficacy of the protective

IT is amusing to see that implacable
foe of protection in any form, the Kala-
mazoo Gazette, go into spasms of indig-
nation because some one proposes to
repeal the Michigan beet sugar bounty
law. While the Gazette is for once on
then pt side of a public question. it is
but another proof of the fact that even
the bitterest enemies Of any legislation
tending to build up an industry at public
expense, are as willing to uphold such a
policy as anyone when the benefits are

The late Nelson Dingley had a more
minute technical knowledge of the tariff
question than any other man who has
served in congress at any time in the
past quarter of century, with the 'ex-
ception, perhaps, of William ID. Kelley
of Pennsylvania, who died few years
ago. Dingley, however, was a much
broader man than Kelley. He had "a
closer acquaintance with politics in gen
eral. He was greater statesman. Az
the head of the ways ana means commit
tee, and thus the leader of the majority
party on the floor of the house, he had
an important influence on legislation.
The tariff act which bears his name was
a leading factor in the financial rally
which has come in the past two years
though, of course, the placing of the cur
rency on a solid basis, which WAS also in
volved in the Republican triumph of 1896,
bore decisive part in the business i'm
provement. In one particular the ex-
perience of the Dingley tariff has been
like that of the Morrill, tariff. If the
Spanish war had not occurred the revenue
under the present act would fully meet
the expenditures of the government
Had the war of secession been averted
the Morrill, tariff, which was passed Just
before that war began, would undoubtedly
have furnished abundant revenue St

From the Inter Ocean,
The duty of congress is as Jam as it
was last spring. When theiS las neces-
sity for prompt and decisive action last
April, senate and house were equal to
the emergency. Bills'appropriating vast
sums oftmoney for immediate use, to
strengthen the navy, to create a new
army, and to prepare the country for
war, were framed and passed in few
days. All irrelevant Legislation was
brushed aside, and the talents, energy,
and experience of the ablest men in both
parties were concentrated in an effort to
do what the duty of the hour demanded.
1t was proud day for American legis-
lation.
Congress has only to act in the same
spirit now and there will be no need OF
an extra session. Duty demands clearly
the immediate ratification of the treaty
of peace. 1t demands as clearly the
approval of the senate's Nicaragua canal
bill by the house, prompt action on the
army reorganization bill, and the passage
of the appropriation bills.
There ought to be no division of senti-
ment as to the Nicaragua canal bill.
There is little genuine opposition to the
ratification of the treaty of peace.
Brought face to face 10y the exigencies
of the situation, congress is strongly IN
favor of reorganizing the army There
is no excuse for delay. There is no
reason for giving more time to the con-
sideration and enactment of these
measures that was given to the eonsid
Grafton and enactment of equally inn
portant measures last spring.
