A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.

The supreme court of Iowa has re
fused to put premium on ignorance
by a decision in favor of druggist
as defendant. who was sued for dam
ages by distant customer who sent
for three sticks of phosphorus aud in
handling one of these sticks severely
burned his hand. The court in a sar-
castle kind of way in delivering the
opinion, said that inasmuch as phos-
phorus had been discovered more than
200 years ago and it's uses are com
monty known even among children, no
amount of ignorance can excuse per-
son for not being acquainted with the
properties of the drug; therefore the
Judgment Of the lower court was af-
firmed in holding that the plaintiff
cannot recover. This is a most right
eous decision which ought to teach a
lesson to those who are continually
seeking to secure alleged damages in
cases where they are guilty of con
tributory negligence manifested either
in recklessness or in ignorance that
cannot be excused.

RECIPROCITY AND FOREIGN
TRADE.
(E. ]. Gibson in December Forum,

&c. ]. Gibson in December Forum.)
The United States has apparently
made a mistake in putting coffee and
some other things on the free list in
stead of using them for reciprocity
purposes. This applies particularly to
South America. OF its products i'm
ported into the United States ninety
two per cent are admitted free of duty
But of the United States exports to
the countries of South America we
pay duty on all. We furnish to those
countries Is per cent of their imports
and purchase of them 80 per cent of
their exports; showing in their case
that buying from country does not
result in return sales. In ten years we
sold to the countries south of us $9O4,-
100000, while We bought of them ST..
135,0o0,000. In thirty years we pur-
chased of Brazil $1,000, 100000 worth
of her products, and only sold to her
about $3.50, 900 worth of our pro-
ducts, which compelled us to pay the
enormous sum Of $3.50. 0OO, 900 in gold
or its equivalent to settle the balance
OF trade. Nearly every cent of that
sum has gone into the pockets of Euro
rean merchants and manufactu. ers.

SOME SOUND ADVICE.

Governor Cummins of Iowa, who
has 10000 republican majority behind
him, has been telling the President
how the republicans feel whom he
| comes in contact with What he
says deserves careful reading all ov-
er the country and by none more care
fully than by those who are really de-
pendent upon the protective tariff.
They must find some way to separate
their interests from the interests of
those who no longer need protection
and who are only using the tariff for
their own benefit and against the in
forests of the consumer
Here are two propositions that the
governor laid down and they certainly
have a reasonable sound Speaking
for the people of his part of the coun-
try, he says:
They will not long endure paying
for homemade protected goods high
er prices than those goods are sold for
abroad.
They want competition in all the
goods which they consume and if they
cannot get competition at home, they
want the tariff reduced so that it may
come from abroad"
How is anybody going to meet such
demands with an answer that will not
be a concession Of what lie wanted?
The first paragraph is the exposure
of a perversion of the tariff against
which any fair-minded man must pro-
test. This perversion amounts to
making the American tariff a means
for furnishing other nations with
American goods cheaper than Ameri-
cans themselves can get them. Who
ever can defend such policy with
serious argument is himself an argu-
ment for charging the Middletown
asylum. 1t is patent fraud upon the
people. The first to denounce it
should be the genuine protectionist.
The second of the points cited is
protest against the consultations that
go under the name Of trusts and that
really are organizations to stop COM
petition and so to facilitate dictation.
The American hates nothing more
than being dictated to and he will not
tolerate it permanently. This may as
well be recognized early as late The
protective tariff, like anything else.
must be right and strong. 1t has done
marvels for the country, and it must
not be used against those who have
made it.-From the Hartford Courant.

The exchange alone charged by the

The exchange alone charged by the
London bankers on this business, as
reported by congressional committee,
aggregated at least $1O,000,O00, and we
paid to owners of English ships $780,
100000 in the same transaction And
yet Brazil today discriminates against
us. She charges a higher duty on
flour for instance, when it comes from
the United States than when 1t comes
from the Argentine Republic. She does
this in return for a reduction of duties
by the Argentine Republic on Brazilian
coffee, whereas we admit that coffee
free of duty, and in the last fiscal year
imported from Brazil $70,643,347 in
value of her products, while the Argen-
tine Republic did not take $4,000,000
worth. This illustrates how the Unit
ed States has thrown away -opportun-
titles for reciprocal trade by putting
an article like coffee on the free list,
and then submitting to unjust discrim-
lnation on the part of such a country
as Brazil, from which we import near
ly six times as much as export of her
One great obstacle in the way of ex-
tension of our commerce is our lack
of steamship facilities. Much of our
trade with South America is done by
way of Europe. The United States has
not a single line of steamships run
ming to the River Plate, although. as
the United States minister at Buenos
Ayres reports, there are 'numberless
lines of European steamships running
to and from the River Plate" He re-
lates how trade has to be carried on
with the United States by way of Eur
ope. and shows how impossible it is for
it to grow much under such conditions
And the River Plate is not alone in
respect. Without direct and frequent
steamship communication trade can
not be successfully conducted with any
country; and as long as we continue
to depend on foreigners to do our ocean
carrying trade, our exports to South
America and many other countries will
remain of. comparatively small impor-
lance and reciprocity will not help US
much.
