Inside Details of the Treaty Between
France and Russia

Inside Details of the Treaty Between
France and Russia.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, NJ. de Blowitz. reviewing events
In France and In the sphere of French
influence during the last year, gives curl
GUS and interesting details as to the
Franco-Russian treaty negotiations at St.
Petersburg. He says: "The first article
of the draft treaty declared that 1t had
not for its object any modification of the
European territorial status quo. NJ. Han
otaux refused to countersign such a
treaty, exclaiming: why, it is a repeti-
tion of the Frankfort treaty. Count Mu-
rav'eff responded: You will never induce
the Gar to sign revenge treaty? Neither
M. Hanotaux nor Count Murayieff would
yield. The problem seemed insoluble,
when Count Muravieff had a conference
with President Faure, who yielded, ad-
hitting that it was very undesirable to
have such an article, but that, on the other
hand, it would be impossible for him to
return to France without a treaty. Ac-
cordingly the treaty was signed"

100000 should buy British goods of the
value of only f14,500,000?" says the
London Statist. The people of this
country are better informed than Is the
Statist and are convinced that the
favored conditions are very largely due
to the Dingley bill. If nothing else
were at hand, the record of the past
would show that under a protective
tariff our imports have decreased and
unusual prosperity and activity OBJ
tanned In our manufactures, while I'M
der free trade or low tariff the reverse
has resulted. The great reduction in
the sales of British products to this
country is but the natural result Of pre-
lection, for the demands of our people
have been supplied with American In
stead Of foreign products.-Tacoma

The Explanation

In report to the State Department
Commercial Agent Stern at Bambare
predicts that the United States will
soon surpass England In the value OF
exports of machinery to Germany.
The present year shows even falling
off in the case Of England, while the
Imports of American machines show an
increase of IS per cent. over last years
figures. In 1895 the imports of the
United States of these goods into Ger
many did not amount to the sixth part
of the amount of the English imports
while to-day they are equal to so pei
cent. of the latter
This increase Is due not so much to
price as to quality. An American
made machine is recognized as the best
the world over. The explanation is
ready and simple. 1t is found In what
the London Times calls Intelligent la
Dor highly padd." In other words, the

Value of Experience.

Soon after the enactment of the Ding
ley tariff bill was completed 1t was
attacked from Democratic quarters
because of Its assumed favor for the
sugar trust. Experience has proven
that the Dingley bill contained no such
favor. Since the Dingley bill became
law two great competitors to the
sugar trust have appeared in the mar
ket, and the home manufacture of SUI
gar from beets will soon destroy the
power of all the trusts and combina-
tons In the sugar market. There is
more value in one year of experience
under a Republican tariff law than In
all the Democratic free trade and free
silver theories ever formulated. Cad
