HOT SHOT.

If there is anything about which the
chief officials Of our national Weather
Bureau can talk with knowledge and
sense, viii they do so and shut up their
twaddle about thirty-day hot waves and
assured national calamities? There isn't
any man in the world who-and there
isn't any meteorological system which
makes il possible to forecast the weather
beyond a few days il is not the business
Of the Weather Bureau officials to make
crazy Mother Shipton prophecies and to
talk like oyerheated Tottens. II is their
business TO give the thermometer read
ings ali over the country. to make public
the meteorological conditions which are
known and TO notify the country what
are the climatic indications for the forth
coming forty-eight hours. There is where
their business and their science end, and
when they go beyond those limits they
move into hot weather lunacy, of which
sweltering humanity has a plenty Just
now, without getting a larger supply
from officials who are paid good wages
on the theory. though apparently not the
fact. that regularly organized and dis
eiplined public bureaus can be conducted
with sanity and sense.-New York Press.
The Washington times., 1901-07-06
The Cold supply and business.

Considered as a mere struggle of
armed forces. the Boer war has been
and still is one of the most remarkable
that has ever occurred since history be-
gan. But the commercial effects of the
conflict have been scarcely less strik-
ing than has its purely military as
pect. The outbreak of hosulities in
the TransvaaI suddenly stopped the
gold supply from the Rand mines,
amounting TO some eight millions Of
dollars monthly. and the effect was
felt almost instantaneously in all Of
the worlds great money centres. Lon
don. Paris Berlin, and New York all
felt IT, although for various reasons
the pressure was more severe in Eu-
rope than in America London was
the most directly affected. because the
great bulk Of the gold from South At
rica first found its way TO Britain's
commercial and financial metropolis
But there was a speedy transmission
of the effect to other great centres, and
in the end 1t was distributed well over
the world.
Fully 10 appreciate the significance
of what took place, it must be remem-
bered that the amount Of new gold
thus suddenly cut off was very nearly
one-third of the total supply. In 1899
the worlds output was three hundred
and twelve millions Of dollars; in 1900
it was only two hundred and hfty-six
millions, the Transvaal quota having
been shut of, while other parts OF the
world slightly increased their produc-
tion.
This question. 1t viii be seen, direct
Iy involves the whole quantitative
theory Of money. II the stoppage Of d
large part Of the new gold supply
created monetary stringency to any
extent, and caused prices to fall, it is
exactly what was to be expected if the
advocates OF the quanttative theory
are right in their contention. 1t so
happens that this is precisely what did
happen. Prices began TO rise about
the middle of 1897. and continued
steadily 10 go up until about the first
Of February. 1900. All Of this time the
worlds gold output was increasing.
and the effect was identical in charac-
ter with what took place when the
great gold discoveries Of California and
Australia were made But almost

Free Trade with Porto Rico.

AS predicted in these columns yes

shows plainly that the despatch was
not written by a neutral. And yet
there is an obvious implication that
the United States must make some
concession.
But how can we make any concession
without a complete surrender of the
point in controversy? There seems to
be no middle ground. Russia either
pays a bounty or she does not. II she
does, the Dingley law declares that
compensating duties shall be collected.
That is The whole story. The only
thing Mr. Gage can do if he desires to
meet Russia half way is to reverse
his ruling and hold that as the ques-
ton is not clear upon its face, as
matter of international courtesy he will
accept NJ de Witte's statement that no
bounty is paid. This is what the Sec
retary should have done in the first
place and without a moments hesita-
ton.
The despatch also complains of the
disproportionate character of. the Rus
sian reprisal. So it is disproportionate.
but that simply gives renewed empha-
sis to the unwisdom OF Mr.. Cages
provocative act. 1t shows that we oc-
cupied a peculiarly vulnerable position
one in which we could be hurt vastly
more than we could hurt Russia.
When such an issue arose it was un-
reasonable to expect Russia TO be con-
tent with merely keeping even in the
matter of dollars and cents. She had
received a serious affront-not one
which called for resort to arms, but
one which justified her in taking the
most extreme peaceful measures for
her own commercial protection.
It may be true. probably it is true,
that Russia was perfectly willing to
kill two birds with one stone-to repay
Secretary Gage for his unwarranted
lack of official courtesy. and at the
same time adopt a measure designed to
give protection to the Russian manu-
facturers of such articles as were be-
ing largely imported from the United
States. The st Petersburg despatch
very plainly expresses a fear that it is
Russja's purpose to build and maintain
a high tariff wall against foreign goods
generally. % IL may DeI anu IL 50 IL u
tc be regretted by all who have the in
terests of this country at heart. But
no radical, uncompromising American
protectionist has any right to complain
of such action by Russia. That coun-
try has just as much right to a tariff
wall' as we have. This action on the
part Of the Cars Government should
suggest to every thinking American
the fatal vice of a prohibitory tariff.
Suppose each country in the exercise
of its sovereign powers should hedge
itself around with such a tariff. The
result would be that every country
would simply live within itself. The
United States, by reason of its vast ex-
tent and resources, might be able to
live little better than any other coun-
try, but no nation would be as well off
as it is now, and international trade
would cease to be an element in the
business of the world
The Washington times., 1901-07-06
NO SUBSIDY NEEDED.

The official statement OF shiphuiIding
in the United States for the year includes
vessels aggregating 40I 2S5 gross tons.
This is the largest output from American
yards for any one year except 1S54-55,
when G total of 54S $40 gross tons was
registered. When it is noted that more
than 100000 tons OF last years shipping
is represented in fast steel steamers it is
apparent their annual carrying capacity
is much greater than that of the vessels
built in 1855, majority of which were
slow sailing ships
While 10000 gross tons looks small when
compared with the shipbuilding in Great
Britain, 1t is larger than that of any
other nation Germany Is third in actual
tonnage, though its greater proportion OF
steam craft makes its carrying capacity
slightly greater than that of ships built
here during the year. The significance OF
the figures, however, is in showing the
tide has turned-that American shfpbuild-
ing is not only increasing in volume but
Is gaining upon that of other leading mar
itime nationS.-Pittsburg Dispatch

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
More Failures to Date Than in 1906,
but Liabilities Less


NEW YORK, July 5-Duns review to-
morrow wiz say:
Development Of fresh labor troubles is
feature of the week that has made for
conservatism in many directions. but
throughout the country jobbing and re-
tail lines are busy and are handling goods
at prices which yield fair profits. There
is reflection of this activity in the con-
tinued Improvement in the textile mar
kets in the East and the uneasiness over
the money market extended beyond the
ranks Of spectators in stocks So far as
the steel strike is concerned. II is sig
nificant that ii is not struggle for high
er wages. but rather one 10 compel the
recognition of the authority of the Anal
gamated Association in the sheet mills
heretofore non-union.
Crop reports continue gratifying. much
good having been done by rains in the
Middle West Harvesting OF winter
wheat progresses favorably.
Railroad earnings thus far reported
for the past half-year show a total of
s611. .9S1, a gain of 1O.4 per cent over
last year and 2S.2 per cent over 1893. Bank
clearings for the week at New York
gained SS.S per cent over 1900 and $50 per
cent over 1893. while at leading cities out
side New York the gains are 80 per cent
-
Manufacturing has been interrupted
by the elements and laNOr agitation. Nu-
merous prostrations from heat caused
humane employers to close mills, while
the sheet and hoop work ers were ordered
to stop work until certain disputed points
were settled No immediate settlement
is anticipated because many plants need
repair and others are taking stock. The
reduction of p cents on No 3 sheets was
unexpected and not accompanied by any
general weakening of prices.
Footwear shops in New England are
active in fall lines, but local jobbers are
busy and orders from statesmen on the
road are light. Prices arS steady. with
an upward tendency in heavy single
soled shoes. Leather is quiet. but firmer,
with a splendid export demand for hen.-
lock sole.
.'Woolens and worsteds are selling bet
ter and raw wool is taken more freely,
but the average of 100 grades was slight
ly lower at l7.O6 cents on July l. CottOns
are in better domestic demand, but prices
are held above bids of shippers to China
and sales in brown goods division have
decreased. Manufacturing as whole Is
unusually active for the season.

Corn steadied somewhat because of re-

Cotton holds firmly at point little below

the old crop being diSregarded.
The position of the money market
caused some uneaSineSS among SpecuIa-
tors and the air was full of irresponsible
predictions TO what might be expected
in this department for the next few
weeks.

AN EXPENSIVE SYSTEM.

The estimated expenditure of the Ger
man Government on its imperial army for
the year ending March 81 was only 20
millions, on its navy IS millions. while the
pensions in cur sense of the tts-n were
an incalculable quantity We. who have
still small standing army by comparl-
son, would spend more than Germany on
military account even if it were redsced
to its old fpn+ing, because of our enor-
nous pension roll Thus. Il we take the
figures for the army and navy in 1896 and
add them to the pension figures of this
year, we get S2i7. .2s9. .GS3. while the actual
total Of the present year is S2Ss S64. .942. or
nearly double that of Germany.
on the face Of these returns it is clear
that the volunteer system Is not cheap
system. but that it is paid for in noun
tains of cold cash. The principles upon
which it is conducted here really make it
the most expensive system in the world
and result also in a confusion OF the
claims for money and the claims to pa
triotism which is quite unknown else
where.-Chicago Record-IIerald.
