The New Reciprocity Tariff With
France Very Favorable to
Unites Stats.
WILL BOOM MANUFACTURES
Many Valuable Concessions Granted
Which Were Refused European
Countries.

NEW YORK. July 2s.-Edmund Brue-
wer. French oonsul at New York, says
OF the new reciprocity treaty between
France and the United States:
Il rsgard it as an exce,lenr thing for
the Un9ted States. America was the only
country which did not have the benefit
of our nirimum tarif. AS the manufac-
turvrs abroad are satisfied with prof;

the maximum and minimum rates was
SuHiciegR to keep the United States out
OF the French market.
Frances annual importation Of manu-
factured articles is about $2SOOOOOOO and
the United States will * a good share
Of this. America underseils England in
cotton goods IN China and there is no
reason why It can't do the same in

America sends agricultural implements,

and pumps,
There are 649 articles on the dutiable
list of the French tariff and the treaty
gives the United States the minimum rate
on all except l2. Germany, England
and the other countries which have
treaties with France do not enjoy the |

which are chiefly agricultural products. /
The average difference between the

There are i6S dudable items In the

the average reduction being only 10 per

not so much so as 1t appears. because

A HARD CHOICE.

"The Benson Breeze says: "A few weeks and school will open. The important question is, shall our school be converted into a pest houseF" This is grave question in more senses than one. The fact of the teacher of last year being a man of weak lungs seems to give rise to this query, and the grave part is the danger attendant upon the pupils being requested to occupy the school room with a man from whom a dangerous disease may be the direct result of employing a victim of tuberculosis"
 And a predecessor of Professor Kirsch was dropped on account of knowledge by the school directors

of the district that association with such teacher was moral contam- ination. 1t seems to be a hard choice where parents in educating their children can choose only be- tween a social pariah and an in- fectious invalid.
 But THE OASIS is authoritatively informed that Professor Kirsch has submitted to the school board of Benson district certificate of health which effectually disposes of the assertion of the Breeze that he is an invalid and likely to con taminate the health of his pupils.

thereby controlling the coinage oi
 that metal and providing guaran-
 ty that each silver coin shall be
 worth its legal equivalent in gold.
 The United States does that at the
 ratio of sixteen to one, profitting
 by the difference between the com
 mercial ratio and the legal value of
 the coin, which latter 1t maintains
 by guaranteeing to redeem in gold
 by roundabout proceeding how ever.
 Gradually the nations of the world are adopting the only plan by which bi-metallism can be maintained; yet MT. Bryan and his party want the United States to go back to silver monometallism, for that is all that coinage of both gold and silver upon equal terms amounts to. Mexico is today in that condition. Both gold and silver are there coined on equal terms; but the gold is all shipped out of the country, and sil- yer is the basis of commercial tram sections. Yet prices equivalent to gold are exacted for everything, and in some instances, particularly for imported goods, the price is made in American money--gold. In Hermosillo, six weeks ago, Doc tor Hoeffer was charged two dollars and a half gold for a small Roque- fort cheese. The dealer would not quote the price in Mexican money. He had paid gold for the cheese, and he wanted gold in return. He would not take his pay in Mexican money and take a chance upon an advance in the price of exchange eating up his profit, or any part thereof, before he could replenish his stock. It is to inyriads of facts such as this now related, occurring every day in the commercial world, to which MT. Bryan and his allied theorists persistently close their eyes when they demand the restora- ton of free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one, or at any ratio.

RAFTING \ JEW.

To the American or Englishman, accustomed to perfect exactness of
 absolute proof in legal proceedings.
 the methods of procedure in the
 Dreyius case seem supremely rid
 iculous. As an instance on Friday
 of last week Professor Bertillon, not unknown to fame as inventor of system of measurements for identi. fication of persons, took the stand as an expert in penmanship upon some of the documents alleged to implicate Dreyfus in the reasonable negotiations for which he was tried, which are all declared by
 Dreyius and his friends to be for geries, and some of which have been so proved. Professor Bertil- lon went upon the witness stand and spun out a long and tenuous theory that Dreyfus set out to do a reasonable act, that in writing the reasonable documents with which he Is charged he Intentionally dis guised his writing and put in in- tentional slips and erasures, so he might afterward plead forgery. Not word did Bertillion present to show that the writing, even though feigned was that of Dreyfus, and no attempt did he make to contro- vert the positive evidence that the writing is that of Esterhazy. But the remarkable thing is that such stuff is accepted as evidence by the court, and by a large part of the people-a majority perhaps. Ber- tillon is but one of a host of such witnesses. Eminent generals, and officers by the score, have gone upon the witness stand and made long speeches declaring Dreyfus guilty, without one scin- tilla of evidence to support their declarations. And hundreds of of their fellow French men yea millions uphold and applaud them.
 The fact is that the French army and large majority of the French people are engaged in the custom ary European diversion of Jew batting, and in that delectable occupation they have lost to sight all sense of honor, decency and fairness.

INSISTS UPON THE OLD RATIO.

0ItSlIndH Ol tuc NeW OIk JOurual
 Mir. w. J. Bryan, the democratic
 candidate for the presidency ir
 I8o6 and who will doubtless be
 the candidate again next year, in
 sists that free coinage of silver will
 be vital issue in the national cam- paign next year, and that the plat form of the party he leads shall de clare for some ratio of coinage. He very clearly states that If the platform declares for free coinage without declaration for a ratio, such a declaration will be a shallow ambiguity amounting to nothing. He further presents that the ratio of sixteen to one is desired by a large majority of those who favor free coinage, and that the majority should rulei ill framing a declaration, rather than the minority, who favor some other ratio, upon which they are not agreed among themselves. So it will be seen that MT. Bryan is irrevocably committed to the doc Urine of free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one.
 In the same interview MT. Bryan presents the usual statement that without free coinage of silver the country cannot have metallism, and without bi-metallism the vol tune of currency cannot meet the requirements of its business.
 In both postulates MT. Bryan per sistently ignores the logic of recent events and plain facts. The recent events are the adoption of the single gold standard by several of the sill yer standard nations, who have adopted the very policy of bi-met- allism now prevalent in the United States, viz: Free coinage of gold, and coinage of silver upon govern nent account. Particularly is this true of both Peru and Ecuador, the atest two nations to adopt the single gold standard. In each the ormer unit of value was the silver sol" coins of about the same in- rinsic value as the Mexican or American silver dollar. In Ecua- Tor the new unit of value is the 'sucre" and in Peru it is the condor Both these coins are ,old of tho same weight and fine less as the English sovereign. Un- Ter the new coinage laws of both : epublics ten silver 'sols" are quivalent to one gold "sucre" or condor" as may be the case. That makes the ratio of value in the sil- CT coins about thirty ounces of liver to one ounce of gold. That , about the commercial ratio. The nanciers of those two republics lainly see what MT. Bryan cannot. nd that is that the commercial atio is the ratio which must be ac- opted as the legal ratio, and that gal ratio cannot be maintained un- .ss it observes the unerring law of
