VICIOUS POLICY.

We are not surprised to see some Of
the leading Republican papers adj
hitting that the protection business
has been pushed too Tar and that it
behooves their party to take the back
track in the tariff legislation.
The pleas and arguments for a pro
teCtive tariff which were formerly
plausible and more or ICES popular
have lost much OF their force and it
is becoming clearer every day that
what Is called protection operates for
the benefit OF u very small number Of
people and against the interest OF the
masses.
1t can no longer DO commended thqi
our highly protected industries need
the tariff wall to shelter them from
luminous 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 o! the rivals
from whom they have asked to be
protected in this country.
Our export OF manufactures have
been increasing FOR several years with
wonderful rapidity and their growth
continues undated. For the nine
months ending April /, 1899 the eI
port manufactures from the United
States amounted to s243. 100000
against s209.0O0,000 for the nine
months ending Ayril /, 1898, and the
record for that period was considered
phenomenal. Our steel manufactures
have recently beat their most formId-
able rivals, the British man ufactureR
for great contracts in British posses
sions. and even in the heart OF Eng
land itself. Sewing machines, bicy-
cles, agricultural implements and
various other articles Of general use
are now sold abroad 10y our manufac
turers cheaper than any others, and
even cheaper than they are sold at
home, where the tariff enables them to
put on a price considerable higher
than is charged in foreign markets.
1t is not strange hat the masses OF
the people OF this country are asking
where they come in oil the protection
SEIZED ole.
But what is raising the oppositiGn
to protective duties most rapidly il
the prostitution OF them TO the ser.
vics OF the trusts. Combinations Of
capital and industries are making
impossible the competition winch we
were told would be so stimulated by
a high tariff a to insure prices Of
manufactured products that would be
favorable to the The
protected interests have shrewdly
concluded that it pays them better to
pool against the consumer than to
compete with each other. Being
safe from foreign competition ly
reason OF the tariff wall they are en-.
abled to carry out this program very
thoroughly and they are extending it
every day.

been abused and turned against

ally laid were taken away from every

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Sept. 7.-There was a quiet

ceipts We're the bear, circumstances, the

carrying charge and because there Is con-
sequently some competition.
Corn was steady, within a-4c range. The
great corn handlers are unanimous that
dry, hot weather is doing the crop more
good than harm, that II will make an early
shipping condition, and the most satisfac-
tory situation generally. Some of the spec
ulators are buIlish on damage theories.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE conspicuous
features in the days situation were not
of character to stimulate favorable out
side interest in the market, and on the
other hand they might reasonably have
been expected to have induced no little
liquidation. These were notably the over
strained situation in South Africa, and the
renewed closeness OF the money market
The first named caused quite smart de-
cline in American stocks, in the London
market, and, upon the opening of these
here, there was general and heavy selling
OF stocks for foreign account. In view,
however, of the very warlike character of
the days advices British consols were re-
markably firm, circumstance in contra
dictioD to the days news Money lenders
were able today to obtain the full
legal rates for their funds, although
probably the greater part of the bor-
rowing on call was effected below that
level. AS is ordinarily the case to-
ward the close of the week. conjecture was
| active in regard to the probable showing
TO be made by the banks on Saturday con-
corning which the only known factor that
VIII enter into the composition of the
statement is the loss of something over
$4,000, 900, which the banks have incurred
| in their operations with the subtreasury
Some part of this sum represents deposits
made by the local banks for transfer to
interior points, but a greater part OF the
loss rejects the Governments heavy re-
ceipts on account of customs Notwith-
standing the conditions in the money mar
ket, sterling exchange was firm, and there
were no indications in that quarter that
any relief to the local money market situa-
tion from imports of gold can be expected
for an Indefinite period
In view OF the days outside situation.
the tone of the stock market could rot be
properly designated as weak. During the
greater part OF the day the trading had an
uncertain and irregular appearance. and
in the standard tissues slight declines were
the rule There seemed, however to be
very little general liquidation, and on the
early declines fair amount of commits
sion house buying was noted This lent
an appearance of comparative strength to
. number Of stocks, notably Union Pacific.
Southern Railway. Southern Pacific. and
St Paul The degree of firmness the last
named showed was naturally to be ac-
counted for by the general expectation that
the directors will, next week, declare an
extra dividend upon the stock. The other |
granger shares were rather heavy, as were !
also Louisville and Nashville and most
OF the other foreign listed stocks. The in
dustrial quarter, which in all the circum- |
stances of the day was hardly TO be looked /
10 TO furnish the days noteworthy ad-
vances. nevertheless did so. There were.
during the day, sharp advances in United /
States Leather and the comparatively new
steel hoop and car and foundry stocks.
The sudden spurts in those instances were
attended by the usual assertions regarding
the tremendous current earnings of the
properties, but it was somewhat singular
that such an occasion should be made use
of to exploit the merits of the securities
in question.
