The Tariff Issue.

St. Louis Republic.
 In the interview with MT. Gustav H. Schwab, the American manager of the North German Lloyds, published in Fridays Republic there is material for very earnest consideration on the part of the American people and especially of American merchants and manufac- turers.
 MT. Schwab has just returned from a visit to Europe, during which he made a close study of the new spirit of trade hostility toward this country and of the trend toward a European combination against American pro- ducts. He is convinced that this move ment has attained such proportions as to contain a menace of serious con- sequences to the trade of this coun- try. He believes that the only way to divert a disastrous blow to Ameri- can trade Is "to lower the wall of protection, with which we have sur- rounded ourselves, and by some form
 of reciprocal concessions meet these
 European nations in their desire for fair treatment
 It would certainly seem that the pres- ent attitude of Europe toward the United States in the matter of compe-
 tition in trade makes a very vital is-
 sue of the high protective tariff. The
 
 matter is that of whether or not we can afford, for the sake of protect ing' a few ti-milionaire manufac- turers no longer in need of protection, i to precipitate retaliatory action on Eu-
 ropes part which will be of tremend- ous injury to American trade. Ameri- | can manufacturers are now able to un- dersell their European competitors in all the markets of the world. They l could not, therefore, suffer loss through European competition in American l markets. But they can be made to
 suffer a calamitous loss if European resentment of the American high tar | if culminates in discriminating duties on American goods and in a European coalition against American trade
 which will practically make exports impossible to American merchants,
 manufacturers and farmers.
 It would surely seem to be desirable, under such circumstances, that the
 high protective tarif be regarded in l its true aspect of an evil to all Amer ican interests save those of the tariff
 barons already so vastly enriched by it's operation. Europe Is forcing the Tissue to a point where decisive action | is imperative. It has the power, through united effort, for retaliatory | discrimination against American goods which would destroy our foreign trade. It is reaching a stage or resentment l where this power is likely to be exer-

IAN AMERICAN STATESMAN.
The life of William Lowndes o
 South Carolina.

S04kA N1ASAAA0s
 The history of the United States has been illustrated with the name or no man more worthy of emulation snan South Carolina's real statesman VII VII liam Lowndes. A history of his nie and times written by Mrs. St. Julien Ravenel has recently been published and 1t ought at once to have wide pop ularity. He was e statesman, scnoiar and soldier. and was a most conspicu- ous figure in American pubic hte, 1806-1822. More than three-quarters oi a century has passed since his dea1h- yet his fame fingers in the best tra- ditions of those early years or tne century; though no biography or hiHi has ever reached the public.
 About forty years ago. the late hon: Wm. J. Greyson, an ardent admirer oi Mir. Lowndes. wrote for the washing ton Light Infantry, a full biography Of him; he had been their first comman. der. This manuscript was completeo and rendered in 1882 but there was no one to receive it--the corps was then III 2 the field. The manuscript was founo among Mfr. Greyson's effects after the war. but nothing Is known Of IL now.
 The present volume-Life and Times of MT. Lowndes--is the labor or love of a Carolina dnatron. whose pen nag charmed Us in a previous Diography and who would fain recall chapter or Carolina public life, from the 1irst quarter of the last century.
 This publication has been underta- ken by a group of admirers, not TOT hope of proftt-but a gratuitous ser vice only for the good influences. which must follow the reading of this little volume wherever 1t may go. In this spirit they commend it to the pubic.
 His name is perpetuated in Alabama by Lowndes County, which was named in his honor. Published by Houghton, Miffiin & Co.

DECISION or SUPREME COURT
 IN INsULAH CASES.


 The Supreme Court Monday decided three cases fixing the status of the country acquired from Spain by the Treaty of Paris. These cases are known as the DeLima. Downes and Huus cases. These decisions settle the following points:
 1. That while any territory of a for eign power at war with the United States is occupied by the military or naval forces of this country. any inn ports duties of taxes levied by the mili- tary or naval commander are justified by military necessity and are valid. 9. That by the Treasty of Paris, any territory covered by 1t ceased to be foreign territory and that the Dingley Tariff Bill did not authorize the collec- tion of duties on articles imported into the United States from such territory. 5. That the Constitutional require. ment of uniformity in the levy of inn port duties did not apply to territory covered by the Treaty of Paris. and that Congress had the power to pre- scribe the manner of collecting the revenues of the Insuiar possessions of this country, and had the right to lay a duty on goods imported into the United States from these islands or into these islands from the United States.
 4. That vessels plying between New York and Porto Rico were engaged in the coasting trade under the laws of the United States, and consequently must fly the flag of this country.
