this kind. In other words, and to be
plain, it is fair to infer, until Mr.. Jones
denies it, that he is it," neither on ac-
count Of his cash, nor his property, nor
some invention Of demonstrated value,
but rather on account Of his pull or his

this until Mr.. Jones denies it, because
Mr.. Jones. by reason Of his unjust at

himself very much in the public eye and
invites attack from any quarter. Mr..
Jones has no business to live in a glass

MANUFACTURERS HAVE
A VERY BUSY YEAR.
Exports Under the Dingley Law
Show Vast Growth.
The Demand for Raw Material Is So
Great that Imports of Manufactur.
ers' Material Have Also
Greatly Increased.

The manufacturers Of the United
States are making their greatest record
in this closing year of the century. Busy
workshops, smoking chimneys, factories
running on double time and, In some
cases, the full twenty-four hours with
three shifts Of hands, are an evidence of
this; but exact proof Is found in the re-
port Of the chief Of the bureau Of Stats
tics, just issued, which shows an enor-
nous increase in the importation Of the
raw materials which they use in manu-
featuring and an equally enormous in
crease in the expectation of finished man
ufactures. Importations Of manufacture
ers' materials in the fiscal year 1900
were more than double those in the fiscal
year 1894 and, during the three fiscal
years in which the Dingley law has been
in operation, have exceeded. by more
than $10O,000,0OO, the imports Of raw
materials in the three years in which
the Wilson law was in operation, while
the expectations Of finished manufac-
lures, In the three years under the Ding
ley law, have exceeded, by more than
$500, 100000, the expectations of manu-
features in the three years under the
Wilson law.
Evidence from Official Sources.
Here are the official figures showing
the importation of manufacturers ma
terials and expectations of manufactures
in the fiscal years 1895, 1896 and 1897,
all of which were under the Wilson low
tariff, contrasted with those during the
fiscal years 1898, 1899 and 1900, which
were under the Dingley tariff. The Will
son tariff, it will be remembered, went
into operation Aug. %, 1894, and the
Dingley tariff on July 26, 1897, so that
the fiscal years ending June &c. 1895,
1896 and 1897, were practically all with
in the operations of the low tariff and
those of 1898, 1890 and 1900 were prac-

The composite chairman of the Popu-
list Democracy, Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas, is still resenting with considerable
heat the charge that since he is such an
important officer Of the American Cotton
Company Capital $7,OOO,0O0; John E.
Searles. lately treasurer Of the sugar
trust, grand moguD, it must be that he
is high priest in the trust temple, or,
at least, that he is reckless, abandoned
plutocrat. To do Mr.. Jones entire JUS
tice, we suppose that the American Cot
ton Company is not vicious trust which
deserves to be destroyed. any more than
number Of other corporations of ST.
100000 capital in the hands of former
officers Of more monopolistic trusts. Pre-
sumably the American Cotton Company
will make all the money it can, will make
dividends, indeed, upon its $1,000, 900 of
stock. Mr.. John e. Searles can be trust
ed to look after little thing like that,
even if Mr.. Jones devotes all Of his at
tention for the next three months, or for
the next three years, for that matter, to
Populist Democratic politics exclusively.
The phase Of Mr.. Jones' connection
with the American Cotton Company
which we would like him to explain is
this, rather: How much of the $1,000
600 of the stock Of the company has he
got. how did he get it. and what did he

Exports increase 5000. oOO. 600.

We exported $1,394, 479,214 worth Of
merchandise in the year ending June 80,
1900. That was under a Republican
administration. In the year ending June
80, 1895, under Democratic admins
stration, we exported goods worth S793,-
I392, 500. The increase favoring the Re
publican policy is almost exactly six hun
bred million dollars in the year.

Total. $728, S21,352
$1,061, 657,27S


The above table is worthy Of careful
study. We have been hearing, for years,
from Democratic orators first, that free
raw materials would help the manufac-
turers, and, second, that protective
tariff destroys our chances in foreign
markets, yet it will be seen by this table
that the importations Of ARTICLES in q
crude condition for use in domestic in
dustries" amounted, in the three years
under the Wilson free trade law, to $685.
405 ,152, while in the three years under
the Dingley protective tariff they amount
to SIPS, 821 1852. Look also at the narrow
column; which indicates the, percentages
of the total imports which these raw ma
terials form, and you will see that they
form much greater proportion of the TO-
tai imports under the Republican system
of protection than under the Democratic
system of free trade. Why? The an
swer is simple enough. Under the Dem
ocratic low tariff, absolute free trade in
some particulars, many manufacturers
were compelled either to close their
works or reduce their output owing to
the heavy importation of manufactures
from abroad under the low tariff rates.
Hence the small consumption Of raw
material in manufacturing. This differ.
ence of more than 100000 in the
quantity Of raw materials imported in the
three years. means difference of several
hundred millions of dollars in the amount
Of goods manufactured and hundreds Of
| millions in the amount of money paid to
wage earners in the various manufactur-
| ing lines 5

VICTOR HUGO AS AN ARTIST.


The word artist is not usually regard
ed as descriptive Of Victor Hugo in it's
technical sense that is to say, in rela-
ton to his imaginative sketches, execu-
ted during the evenings and the wake
full hours of his long nights in Guern-
sey. 1t is commonly applied to that
crown of art, the stamp of peculiar
beauty, which distinguishes the
thought of every man of genius, wheth-
er it's expression be written, spoken or
drawn. In this general sense, Victor
Hugo was a great artist; but he was
an artist in a special sense as well,
when he took up his pen deliberately
and abandoned himself with heartfelt
enjoyment to portraying poetic land
scapes, or to making weird silhouettes
of feudal castles, with strokes of the
pen. And when ink seemed to him too
feeble for his original conceptions, he
heightened his imaginations, as some
one has said. by the use of cafe au lait.
He awaited himself of all means for the
expression of his descriptive thought,
for the presentment of his dreams No
instruction was needed to enable him
to represent tree, house by the way
side, or prospect of distant hills en-
compassed with clouds.
1t is no stretch of imagination to say
that these sketches or souvenirs of ma
ture recall the little etchings of Rem
brandt; certain faces, very roughly
drawn, remind us of Cabot and of
Goya; and the larger compositions in
the style of Burg de la CroiX' might
bear, not unworthily, the signature of
Turner. To be convinced of what say,
it Is only necessary to spend a morning
morning at the house of Paul Meurice,
the lifelong friend Of Victor Hugo,
who was-together with Vacquerie-the
great mans confdant, and the executor
of his last wishes.
But Victor Hugo was the solitary ex-
ample of a writer of genius cabpabe of
expressing in drawing the scenes of
which he grote, and, for this reason, he
understood our art, not only as a con-
noisseur but almost as a professional
artist.
1t is remarkable that we find men of
genius who are accomplished word
painters, possessing absolutely no COM
prehension of painting; and this igno-
rance Is sometimes manifested very
plainly in their writings How does it
happen that they see nature only
through the medium of books, and fail
to comprehend the Interpretation of her
by q painter upon canvas? One is
to regret that Victor Hugo to
whom all things were possible, did not
write some technical observations on
painting Constant in Har-
per's Magazine.
