may be due to lively sense OF graft

PROTECTION IN FRANCE.

The industrial development of
France from the close OF the Napo-
leonic wars to 1860. says Mr.. Curtiss, is
without parallel In any continental
country. Under the protection which
then existed the growth Of manufac-
lures was rapid and successful In every
particular. In 1860. however, a COM
mercial treaty was entered into be-
tween England and France, by which
France removed all prohibitions from
Imports and substituted duties ranging
from 20 to 30 per cent on competing
manufactures. The experiment of this
duty, which continued until 1882, was
unsatisfactory. and the French gov
ernment refused to renew 1t in that
year. and more vigorous protective
policy was restored. In 1885 the du-
ties on foreign products were raised,
and in 1891 a thoroughly protective
tariff was enacted. under which the
great prosperity and Industrial activ-
lty which now exist have come to that
country.

cHEAPENING OF
CATTLE" LOANS.

The feeding of hogs and cattle with
corn. or the conversion OF corn into
hog and cattle flesh. has developed re-
markably the last three years as fea-
ture of farming, and 1t Is responsible
for a large share of the increased con-
sumption Of corn. The individual
stimulating cause has been the cheap
ening of money due to the sound
money victory of 1896.
This has enabled farmers to make
loans secured by their cattle or hogs,
and by use of such funds to keep their
corn for feed and for raising hogs. in
stead of selling 1t. Four years ago
this cattle paper was not looked on
with any favor In the east Now from
forty to fifty million dollars annually
are loaned on 1t by eastern brokers'
The abundance OF money In the west
ern banks seeking Investment has
forced competition in the placing of
these cattle paper loans until now they
are taken at three to four per cent
less than formerly. or course this both
tends to increase the demand for corn
and to render Its price more stable;
for instead OF throwing corn on the
market at the harvest season, the
farmer can now keep 1t on the farm to
feed to cattle and hogs all the year
around. Cattle loans were difficult. II
not impossible to negotiate in the
democratic days of 1S93-1S96.

m Iron and -rfsek

The United States has become the
worlds foremost producer Of iron and
steel. There are three great rivals
in the trade In Question-Great Brit
ain. Germany and the United States.
France and Belgium still play an Inn
portant part. but in the future their
competition will be reduced to COM
parativs insignificance. and the race
will be confined to the three leading
countries Just named. with Russia =
coming rival. The relative features OF
strength in their respective positions
are thus stated: The United States
has made the marvellous progress
shown by the figures OF the last few
years chiefly because of the resistless
demand for improved methods and
machinery-a demand our intelligent
and alert workmen have readily met
Germany has been enabled to rise as
a worthy competitor by the thorough
chronological training Of her men and
masters in iron-working processes.
The position of Great Britain is due
to her commercial genius alone.

1t is stated upon good authority
that the Russian government is nego-
tiating a $5O.00o.00O loan in the United
States, and that our financiers are con-
sidering the proposal with favor. In
fact. it is understood that a syndicate
is now being organized to float the
loan. Russia obtained some 100000
600 in this country several months
ago. but the money did not leave these
shores. 1t was all used here In pay
ment for steel rails and railway ma
terials purchased for the Siberian road

commodation was none the less con-

one.

ALroeLos GREAT DscovEav.


John p. Altgeld has made = great
discovery. 1t is that II you sell more
than you buy you are growing poorer.
Mr.. Altgeld revealed his discovery
last Thursday at New Haven. Conn. In
q speech there he said:
This country is being drained to
pay tribute to foreigners. By estab-
fishing the gold standard 1t takes
twice as much of our products to pay
that tribute. During this administra-
tion We have parted with over 1.50O.'
000. 900 worth OF goods more than we
received In return. and We have only
$137 900 900 to show for 1t. How long
can we stand an annual loss of nearly
$500, 900, 900? This amount OF goods
goes abroad every year and disappears.
Mr.. Altgeld's figures are apparently
derived from the statistics OF our for
eign commerce. In the fiscal years
1897. 1898, 1899. and 1900. we sold to
other countries goods valued at 81
s03 $685. $50, and bought from other
countries goods valued at $2.927 .64S.-
225. leaving a balance or credit In our
favor OF $1,976.042. 1894. During the
same period we exported 1871 .639. .493
and imported 464.563. PTS In gold and
silver, an excess of precious metal i'm
ports over exports of $1S2.923.7s2.
The Altgeld theory Is plain. For
our $1.976.042. 1884 excess OF merchan-
disc exports we have nothing to show
but our 1892. 1923 1882 excess OF precious
metal imports, and SO have grown
hntD fhaea
sums. which Is $1.7s3.11s.552. Divid-
ing this by four we have $445. 5.779, ,63s.
Altgelds annual loss OF nearly $780,
900 0.0O0," the amount of goods" which
he says "goes abroad every year and
disappears"
Mr.. Altgeld's neighbors In Chicago
however much as they have differed
from his (Altgeld's) opinions hitherto,
have considered him a man OF intelli-
gence. But his New Haven speech
must force n reversal of that judg-
ment. To show the ineffable silliness
of Altgeld's annual loss OF nearly
$500 ,000. 900" assertion we have but to
take the commonest concrete indiyidu-
al case.
Farmer John Smith. after selling his
crops, paying his bills. and setting
aside enough for next years expenses.
finds that he has 1000 left. He might
convert that 81 900 into gold coin and
bury it In his COW stable. Being
sensible man, he looks about for an
investment He may lend his $1,000
to neighbor on n mortgage. or he
may buy a railroad. a United States,
or even an English government bond.
Now, Smith has parted with $1,000
worth OF goods more than he receiv-
ed" and has only piece of paper to
show for It," But is Smith poorer? ls
his British bond, II he choose that In,
vestment, tribute to foreigners?'
Smith knows it is not, for whenever
he cashes a coupon he knows the
British taxpayer gives tribute to him.
Democratic stump speakers have
emitted many lunatic assertions. but
Altgeld's discovery that our favorable
trade balance OF $l,7S3 1lS.552 is not
gain but loss certainly caps the climax
OF folly. His doctrine that men or ma
tions grow poorer whenever they sell
more than they buy is the most ludi-
crous argument that this campaign
has produced.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
