NJ. BLOCH on WAR.

NJ Bloch the writer on military
matters. who before the outbreak OF
| the Transvaal war. published his views
that the improvement OF modern war
machinery would 90 on, until war f.
SELF would be an impossibility, is again
stating similar opinions, and defend
ing them. He even draws on the South
African conflict for proofs OF his posi-
ton.
According 10 an extract from a forth
coming book Of the author reproduced
in the Literary Digest the conclusion
to be drawn from the conflict with
the Beers is, that II war is to bring
about in a short time the results for
which II is waged. 1t will cause such
losses that no army would be able to
support them, Tactics would therefore
be adopted with the purpose OF reduc-
ing the losses as much as possible. and
by those tactics the struggle would be
prolonged, until the economic re-
sources would fail and peace would
have to be established
Future wars, he argues, in which
millions Of men are pltted against one
another would bring indescribable con-
fusion in our whole economic life,
catastrophes in commerce and indus
tries, the dissolution Of social bonds,
misery suffered not only by the COM
batants but by women and children,
and the aged The life OF modern ma
lions represent a more complicated lot
OF machinery than a watch. War will
disturb all this machinery; It will stop
its movement
NJ, Bloch goes into further details
In this chain Of reasoning The naval
part Of great war would mean the In
terruption Of all communication by sea.
Prices on the necessaries Of life would
rise beyond the resources OF the COM
mon people. England and France
would have to consider this result OF
a conflict Germany, II is said, could
not carry on war with Russia for
three weeks, II the imports Of wheat
were stopped. The mere rumor OF a
war between two great countries some
times causes a panic, and the cost Of
military operations has risen to enorm-
Gus figures. War therefore means
economic pauperlzation for the ma
tons that engage in IT, and for their
individual members, resulting in the
formation OF an immense proletarlan
class.
NJ. Bloch's reasoning Is sound. II is
well illustrated yy the Chinese in
yasion. in which the victorious forces
seem to be willing 10 make consider
able concessions from the original pro.
rram perhaps more for fear OF the
financial problems involved in a con-
Guest Of that magnitude. than because
Of any consideration OF the Chinese
people War it Is predicted, will
finally cease. And II II is true, as NJ.
Bloch contends that the governments
Of the world will gradually be con-
WINGED Of the utter impossibillty, finan-
cially speaking Of carrying on mill
tary operations except on a small
scale there Is nothing unreasonable IN
those predictions When nations no
longer can make war the Hague court
OF arbitration win have an abundance

Then the armies and navies viii be
reduced to a minimum. The guns may
be remoulded into ploughshares and
the cruisers sent on missions Of peace.

There is no reason 10 think at present
that the Beers are completely subdued
or the war by any means over, notvlth-
standing the late rejoicing I'm England
and the withdrawal Of English troops.
The latest turn Of affairs would seem
TO indicate that there is still left a well
organized body Of troops under Dewet
and that their number is not by any
means small The latest and most
notable instance Of the BOer activity

We're captured, together with all their

time begin TO feel that Lord Roberts

CUBAN TARIFF CHANGES.
Reduced Rate for Railroad Material Il
Unmarried within "A Year.

Reduced Kate Tor tSaiironu mntcrmi Al
Imported Within Year.
The War Department has again re-
vised the schedules of the Cuban tariff,
to go into effect June 18th. 1t is hoped
that this will increase the imports
from the United States, as we now
have less than half the trade OF the
island.
A previous reduction OF the duty on
food stuifs and live stock has not les
sened the cost of food by the consum-
er, so that no changes are made In the
revision in the food duties except to
reduce the duty on -four from $l.3O
to a dollar barrel, and on salt cod
and stock fish from 81 to 81.
In view of the necessity for the con-
struction and reconstruction OF rail-
roads in Cuba, and upon the assurance
given by the various companies that
If material for the construction and
equipment could be imported at a re-
duced rate they will at once begin to
import large quantities, special pro-
vision has been inserted in the tarln
which allows railroad companies to
import these supplies into the island
for a period of twelve months from the
date of PRONUNCIATION at rate OF III
per cent ad valorem.
Some few changes have been made
in the free list, one or two fresh addi-
tions being made and one or two ar
ticles being taken out and put on the
dutiable list.
Crude petroleum is taken from the
free list and the original duty OF Sl.4o
per 100 pounds restored. Petroleum
and other mineral oils, rectified or re-
fined, intended for illumination OF
fabrication, per 100 pounds, $3.50.

"You will see from this table that
the value of sheep in Colorado on the
LIST of January, 1891 and 1892, was
nearly S4,3O0,O00 each year. At the
end of 1892, just as soon as it was
known that there would be complete
Democratic administration during the
next four years, the farmers began TO
sell their sheep, the total number OF
the flocks decreasing by nearly 5O0,O0
within a year. The value of each sheep
also decreasing by 81 head between
the years 1898 and 1895.
Immediately after the election IN
the fall of 90, when Republican con-
troll of the Government was assured,
the farmers began to increase their
flocks, knowing that protection woulu
again be given to wool. They hau
suffered under the disastrous effects OF
free trade in wool. and Immediately
set about to recover their losses. BE-
tween the first day of January, 1877
and the first day of the present year,
the sheep fiocks of Colorado have in
creased by 774,OOO and their value by
upwards of $3,75O,OO0, each sheep In
the state being worth $1.1O more TINS
year than 1t was just before President
McKinley's Inauguration.
But the value of the sheep alone
does not tell all the story. LOOK at
this next statement giving the prices
per pound of Colorado wool as soiu
in that state.

PRICE PER POUND IN CENTS.

"You will see that all grades of wool
began to drop in '93. Between the
time of President Harrison's admins
tration when wool was protected under
the Mckinley tariff, and the free trade
period of President Cleveland, there
was a difference of 10 cents per pound
to the farmer on the best wool that he
had to sell. His loss per pound on me-
dunn wool was 9 cents, on Mexican
wool cents, and on greasy wool 3
to cents per pound
wool values began to increase
again just as soon as protection was
assured by the election of President
Mckinley and a Republican Congress.
Prices had already advanced early in
81, and they have kept on advancing
ever since.
Nov, have taken the quantity OF
wool produced in Colorado in the
years 1891 to 1895 and 1900, with the
average value per pound at which it
was sold, and it shows the following
result:
Year. Pounos: Valu o.,

1885,. S,4SS,S7S 5O9,3S3
1o0o - 14204 625 1858, 532
Besides a loss of 1920 in the value
of their sheep between 81 and '95, the
farmers of Colorado lost $1,150,OOO
through the smaller prices at which
they sold their wool. For one year
their experience with free trade cost
them almost $3.500.0O0.
Comparing this year with 1895,
there has been an improvement of S4.H
266 900 in the value Of Colorado sheep,
and of S1,124000 in the value OF the
wool grown in that state, making
benefit to the farmers under protec-
ton, in one year almost $5,4OO,OOo'
Put this against the loss of $S,47O,Ooo,
and we have total of $S,S6O,OOO as
the gross difference to sheep farmers
in Colorado between free trade ami
protection in one single year."
