The Alleged SILK Frauds.

Just at time when New York is
agog over discoveries of frauds in the
police department, frauds which, it ap-
pears, involve members of both politi-
cal parties, it transpires that things
have been happening in the New York
custom house which may develop
into something serious. 1t is said that
through collision between employees
and importers Of japanese silks the
Government has been robbed OF mil
lions Of dollars. The precise nature of
the frauds is not stated but it is pre-
sumably matter of undervaIua ton.
The details are too meagre to throw
much light on the matter. and, at pres
ent, we can only conjecture as to the
amount of the frauds, and who may be
concerned in them.
1t has, though, long been understood
that the Government was regularly de-
frauded in this way, not merely in silk
goods, but in all others bearing high
rates OF duty. and particularly in those
which run in grades, such as textile
fabrics. In many cases the differences
in the grades are very slight, or at least
lively easy matter to classify a high
er grade as a lower one, or vice versa,
thus affecting the rate of duty. With
collusion between the custom house in
spectors and importers. enormous
frauds could easily be perpetrated.
After the goods are landed and deliver
ed to the consignees it may be very
difficult matter to trace them up, un-
less steps can be taken promptly, and
the goods are re-examined in the hands
OF the original importers.
II has been very earnestly claimed,
and it is a reasonable claim, that ex-
cessive duties are an incentive to
frauds of this kind. But however that
may be, il is to be hoped that this mat
ter viii be thoroughly investigated

does not prove that il is wise TO in
crease the advantage by relieving It of
all competition and giving it COM
plete monopoly by tariff laws which
operate directly to that end. To illus
trate: If an English trust unreason-
ably advances the price to the consum-
err foreign goods will at once come in
and bring the price down again. In
the United States. the price may be set
up twenty-five or thirty per cent and
still the foreign goods cannot compete
for the protection of the American con-
trusts are forced To content themselves
with profits no greater than low Iatu-
rally from The advantageous working
of their larger capital; while the Amer
lean trust not only has this advan-
taSe. but a very much greater one in
TIE tariff which enables them to charge
the American consumer twenty-five or
thirty per cent more than the same
goods are worth in The worlds markets.
The man who does not see the differ
ence between the two cases must be
either willfully blind or most woefully
stupid. 1t is the artificial bolstering of
the tariff that has literally made the
United States the home of the trusts,
and has swollen them TO such ropor-
tions that the greatest combinations in
England look like babies by comI ari-
son.

The Proposed German Tariff.

The German Agrarians. like their
American prototypes, the New England
Chinese Wall protectionists are deter
mined to carry things with a high hand,
if they can, without regard to the gen
eral good of their country or its peo-
pie The Munich Neueste Nachrich-
ten" declares it to be within its l,nowl-
edge that the chiefs of the Agrarian
party have demanded that Germany
shall give notice of the annulment of
commercial treaties prior to discussion
of the proposed tariff scheme in the
Reichstag According to the authority
quoted. the Imperial Government Las
rejected the demand. Writing on the
political outlook in the Empire, and the
dangers to which this project of the
landed class, if accomplished, will ex
pose it. Herr Barth, editor of the Der
lin Nation" says
"The proposed tariff law threatens the German
Empire 1t is the fervcnt prayer of every we'll
wisher of the Fathcrland that the Reichstlg may
smash the measure beyond recognition. 1t would
meet that fate if submitted to popular vote.
Americas interest in Gennany's economic
policy is both natural and appreciated. There
no two countries in the world whose
interests
whom stanch bonds OF political and commercial
brotherhood are more desirable. | would wish
TO remove the impression that the bill Is con-
ceived in spirit OF special hostility to the
United States II is directed against all coun-
tIies which export their products to Germany
without being especially inimical to any OF
them. Its inspiration is much more deeply root
ed. Il is the last gasp OF the nations doomed
landed aristocracy, and it is the final attempt Of
a long entrenchcd paTamountcy TO fasten obso-
lete agricultural ideals on people whose inter
ests are essentially industrial.
when the Reichstag considers the bill the
world may be prepared to witness one of the
hitterest fights in parliamentary history. Many
voices will be raised against the adoption Of
policy calculated not only to arrest the nations
development and vitality disturb the nations
peace but TO rupture its relations with good
friends like the American people.
No doubt Herr Barth is correct in
saying that the Agrarian tariff project
is not aimed at the United States in
particular, any more than II is at other
nations which compete with German
agricultural products in the German
home market. but the effect is the
same. Since this country is the larg
est shipper of such commodities ii has
been long the object of Agrarian wrath.
There is little question that were the
matter left to a popular vote, the Ger
man masses, whose interests, as the
Perrin editor asserts, are industrial
rather than agricultural and pastoral,
would promptly declare in favor of
practically free trade in foodstuffs at
least. The policy and programme of
the powerful landed aristocracy. If car
ried into effect. would impose a cruel
burden upon the lower classes, espe-
cially the artisans and laborers. The ne
cessities of life would be nearly doub-
led in cost, while it would be hopeless

The Strike situation.

Yesterdays developments in connec-
ton with the steel strike We're devoid
of much that could be called sensation
al Mayor Black, of McKeesport. re-
fused to dispense a crowd of strikers
who were hooting and threatening the
men at work in the hoop mills, but no
overt acts of violence were reported,
and the incident amounted to little eX-
cept that the trust may use it as
foundation for an appeal to the courts
for protection. An ugly feeling seemed
to prevail in Youngstown, and bad
blood is brewing here and there in a
way to promise trouble should TIE
strike last much longer.
In a general way it appeared last
evening that the trusts position had
been strengthened in the West by the
decision of the Illinois and Wisconsin
workers to live up to their contracts
and refuse to strike. In the East-in
Pittsburg and surrounding industrial
townsville army of the idle probably
increased by two thousand men by rea-
son of the shutting down of mill de-
partments unable to secure material.
majority of the unemployed are not
Amalgamated workers or strikers. The
Amalgamated men form only a small
portion of the force in any plant; but
they are the skilled artisans, without
whom everything comes to a stop.
Their less skilled brethren have no di-
rect interest in the fight, but are COM
PEELED to take the hard knocks and
suffer the privations incident to it with
the others. How long they will accept
such a situation meekly is a question.
Discomfort in their ranks is reported
and it is thought in Pittsburg that, if
the corporations can fill the places va
Gated by the Amalgamates, the remain
der of the laborers now out will be
glad to return to work. The strike is
not their funeral although apparently
it has had their sympathy and sup
port thus far.
Stories to the effect that a conserva-
tive element in the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION is working for a capitulation
on the basis of a return to the statu
quo ante are persistent and probably
are true; but whether or not the move
ment had any chance of success was
unknown last night. 1t certainly is en-
dorsed by many of the leading business
interests of Pittsburg, and were its OBJ
ject to be accomplished the fact would
assuredly carry a beam of joy to the
village of Canton, in Ohio, where there
will be doings at the polls before long.

English Trusts.

The champions of the tariff psmpered
trusts in the United States have been
in the habit of meeting the demand for
the removal of duties from trust-con-
trolled products by pointing to England
where. ii IS said. there are many trusts
fourishing under the banner of free
trade. That sort of argument may he

to be satisfied, but it ought not to be

evil.
If the claim has ever been made that
there are and can be no trusts at all
without the aid of the tariff, the claim
has been thoughtlessly urged by only a
few not very well informed people.
