The extent to which the pingley tariff weighs
upon American industry is illustrated by the fact
That in the seven months ended with January the
;mportations Of crude articles that enter into
various processes OF domestic industry amounted
10 sl6a. O6S o62, or about $500, 0000oo year. To
the extent that these articles pay the tariff tax
to that extent American industry is hampered and
our export trade is obstrueted. II is evident that
we cannot sell abroad at low prices articles made

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Richardson for Spcaiscr.-It is just
beginning to be fully realized that no one
is more directly interested in the next
House being Democratic than is the Hon.
James Daniel Richardson of Tennessee.
AS the titular leader Of the party in the
House-made so, it is true, by narrow
margin OF votes-Mr. Richardson STANDS
in line for the Speakership should the
Democrats carry the Congressional cleo
tons in November. OF course. his eleva-
ton to the post is not a foregone con-
clusion, for there is no telling what view
the majority of old members may take OF
him when he asks them to vote for him
for Speaker even though they showed
preference for him over Judge De Almond
of Missouri in the spirited contest that
preceded the organization OF the House
last December. 1t has never been denied
that the dislike of the Hon. Joseph W.
Bailey of Texas for Judge De Almond was
what threw the caucus nomination to Mr.
Richardson. Mr.. Bailey will not be in
the next House, and whether his personal
following will then oppose the Missourian
as bitterly in the Speakership contest
provided, of course Judge De Almond is
candidate-is considered doubtful. If they
should consider it their duty to pursue
the vendetta 1t is believed Judge De Ar
mond would not make the race. But Mr..
Richardson will have another advantage
In the contest by virtue of the fact that
he is Chairman of the National Con-
gressional Campaign Committee. He
would show himself 10 be a poor states
man, indeed if he could not SO manipulate
the Congressional elections as to pledge
to his support for Speaker the majority
of the new Democrats who will be elected
in November. both from districts that are
now controlled by the party and those
that will be reclaimed. For this reason
the friends of other aSpirants for the
Speakership are beginning to complain.
now that it Is too late, that Mr.. Richard
son has had too much power placed in
his hands. They say it is perfectly nat
ural 10 suppose that he will use this power
for the enhancement of his own interests,
and that while this will be an incentive
for him to put forth the most earn
est and strenuous efforts toward the
election Of a Democratic House. yet
he may also employ his power to
discourage the election OF some nomi-
nees who dared refuse to pledge him
their votes for Speaker. Those who know
Mr.. Richardson best Indignantly resent
the latter insinuation and declare that
he is too much of q patriot to endanger
The election of a Democratic House by
such selfish means.

The Mask Thrown 0G.-The Hon. ].
r. Williams of Illinois in the House yes
terday tore the mask of international BIZ
metallism'' from the Republican party.
Representative Overstreet of Indiana,
floor manager of his party's gold standard
bill. was making speech on the measure
as amended by conference. Various Dem
ocrats had been popping questions at him
for half hour and Mr.. Oyerstreet began
to show Impotence. Al the height of the
lndianian's wrath the angular Mr. Will
liams bobbed up and shot this question
at him: ''Will the gentleman inform this
sido of the House If there is any promise
OF International bimetaliism in the bill?"
After hesitatingIfor a moment Mr.. Over
street replied: Il will be perfectly frank
in my answer and inform the gentleman
that there is absolutely no hope or en-
courasement in the bill for international
or any other sort of bimetallism." And
yet 1t is known that Senator Wolcott
stakes his hope of re election on a clause
which he had tackled to the bill in the
Senate singing the old siren song of in
ternatonal bin1etallism." Ii is believed
that if Mr.. Overstreets bold declaration
reaches Colorado whatever chance Sem
ator Wolcott now stands for reelection
will be destroyed. II is predicted, too
that within few weeks the Republican
managers will repudiate Mr. Overstreet's
declaration and point to the Wolcott
amendment as evidence that the bill does
encourage international bimetallism.

Poor old Philadelphia is to be pitied in
her trouble over that hundred thousand
dollar Republican convention guarantee
fund. Not half OF it has been collected and
the prospects grow bluer daily. In former
years a dozen towns would have rushed to
the front with offers to relieve the Quaker
City by taking on the convention them
selves. But not so now. Experience has
taught most of the former habitual con-
vention cities that such gatherings do not
pay MISREPRESENTATION delegations from
the South, of course, excepted-and they
are not in favor. AS an illustration OF the
Indifference of people this year in the mat
ter of campaign contributions the Phila-
delphia situation is significant.

The -Pauncefote Treaty, as amended
in the Senate, will probably be rejected by
England. That course, according to the
British view, will revive the Clayton Bull

one. The Clayton Bulwer Treaty was
never properly ratified, after its amend
ment by Great Britain. Hence it was
never legally operative. However, the
main point in evolving and cooking the
Hay Pauncefote Treaty seems about to be
accomplished. 1t kills the chance for canal
