The free trade papers which are ind-
ing so much consolation in Mr.. Grit
fth's testimony regarding the profits
of tin plate manufacture under the re-
cent combination, lose sight of that part
of his statement in which he said that
at the time of the passage of h Nc
Kinley tariff bill and for some time
previous the price of plate was $685. a
box. At thai time all the plate used
in this country was made in Wales.
and the duty was the same as 1t was on
sheet iron. In other words, the low
duty gave the British manufacturers a
monopoly which enabled them to OBJ
tain $3.50, against the present price of
$4.65. Probably much of the advance
in plates is due to the advance in steel,
which is from rs to 100 per cent. The
probability is that If there were no
more duty on tin plates now than there
is on the steel of which the plates are
made, outsiders could not regain the
American markets, because u anu
facturers have learned the business.
and, moreover, have introduced ma
chinery which cheapens the cost. 1t

would. however, be well for congress
to consider this matter, and If there is
a combination to prevent the purchase
of machinery by outside parties, put
that machinery on the free list for a
time. After all. the public may rest
assured that If there is a profit of even
% per cent in the manufacture of tin
plates. it will not be long until indie
pendent competitors will find ways to
operate mills and put their goods upon
the market. When they do, the COM

It has long been evident that the
rapidly increasing movement OF grain
and merchandise towards the south
ern seaboard would demand an in
crease OF shipping facilities on the
Mexican Gulf. The most promising
seaport city is La Porte. at the head of
galveston Bay. Peculiar natural ad-
vantages surround LaPorte. notably its
being the fartherest inland seaport on
the Gulf, having high dry land with
perfect drainage and the purest arte-
sian water, a climate unsurpassed In
the south and an attractive city site.

All parties in this country believe fiji
tariff taxation for certain purposes.
The Democratic party is for tariff for
revenue, and the Republican party for
tariff for protection. But Mr.. Mckin-
ley's imperial policy. if permanently
adopted, will destroy both.-Columbus

Those little Democratic papers which
are worrying about the fancied incon-
sistency of a protective tariff in Amer
lea with the demand by our govern
ment for an open door" in China,
and which are predicting a Republican
change of front to free trade, have but
an imperfect grasp of the status Of the
taris question in the United States.
AS a matter of fact. no party does
question the policy of protection.
The Democrats were forced to aban-
don that issue in 1896, because they
say that they could not carry ten states
on it. Protection is stronger than ever
before in this country. The Dingley
bill was passed in 1897 by a senate not
Republican. and the results are an in
dorsement of hat policy. The open
door" in China does not mean free
trade. England, Germany and Russia
are perfectly welcome to lay tariffs on
imports in the territory they have
taken from China so that they do not
interfere with the treaties we have
made with the Chinese government.
These newspapers might learn from
Mr.. Bryan that there is no hope of
votes in fighting protection in the
United States. See how careful he is
not to antagonIze that policy. He will
not even recognize free trade as a rem
edy for trust Mr.. Bryan is a pretty
good practical politician and he does
not intend to put himself in a position
to be run owe by the protection band
wagon. There is no longer an anti
protection party in this country,

rists seem unable to grasp the fact

Germany's Food
Supply.

The debate that has been in prog
ress in the German reichstag over
the proposed meat inspection act.
which, if passed, would practically
stop all importation of live cattle and
meats into Germany, has again re-
Viyed the question of what the ind.
ustrial and commercial classes of
Germany would do for food if the
imported supply OF breadstuffs and
meats should be cut off.
Consult General Mason at Berlin
has made an interesting report upon
this subject to the State Department.
under date of March 8. During the
past century, he says, the population
of the German empire has increased
from 20 100000 to 100000 and a
prOportionate increase would Indicate
a population of nearly 100000. 900
persons at the close of the twentieth
century.
Farm, dairy and garden production
does not keep pace by any means
with the steady increase of populat-
ion, and only by diverting the capital
and labor which now furthers com.
merce and trade in Germany to the
farms and fields can Germany's fu-
ture food supply be assured. The

be difficult one, as would be the
task of attracting to agricultural
pursuits the capital that now earns
abundant profits from industry and
trade.

that the legislation enacted this year

more to fit out q naval station in any
other part OF the West Indies than
Denmark asked tor her three islands
in 1867, and the expenditure of the
sum anywhere else would not create
as good station as nature already
has furnished in st. Thomas.
Denmark cares less for the islands
no'o than thirty years ago. Then
they were the sole source of her sugar
supply, and her imports of sugar
amounted to several millions of dol
lars a year. The development of
the beet sugar industry enables the
Danish people to dispense with the
West Indian product, and Denmark
has no other possession in this part
of the world which makes the islands

which Denmark agreed to cede the
three islands of st. Thomas, st. John
and Santa Cruz for $11, ,25O, 900, or
$3, 100000 each. That winter the
natives of the island voted with
substantial unanimity in favor Of
cession to the United States. 1t is
the only case on record where the
idea of obtaining the consent of the
governed has actually been carried
out. An adverse report was made
to the Senate, however, by the fore
ing relations committee, and the
negotiations were dropped, much to
the disgust Of Denmark, the treaty
having been ratified by the Danish
Reigstag and signed by the king.
That was the end Of the talk ofspur.
chase for time, and our relations
with Denmark were strained by the
course of the Senate, which ] was
actuated by political motives.
A renewal of negotiations in 1892,
in President Harrison's administrat-
ion, came to nothing, and there was
more fruitless talk about the propos-
ed purchase in 1896. Shortly before
the outbreak of the Spanish = <rwar
Senator Lodge introduced in the
Senate a bill which was favOrably
reported from tie foreign relations
committee in Marh, 1898, providing
for the purchase Of the islands.
In the years that have elapsed
Since Sewsrd's time the value Of the
islands to Denmark has greatly di
minished, although their value to the

been in no way impaired. It has
