ton, which is this: Our manufacturers
are selling their goods in the British
market at loss and making good the
loss by charging excessive prices in this
country. If this explanation is accept
ed 1t follows that our foreign export
trade in manufactured goods is a detri-
merit TO us. for standing by itself it rep
resents a loss which has to be made up
to the manufacturers by the consumers
of the United States. But no one ought
to be credulous enough to accept such
an explanation. The American manu-
facturer is not reaching out for foreign
contracts to be performed at a loss.
They cut the profits. of course, other
wise they could not compete, and then
they raise the average of the profits
again to an outrageous figure behind
the American tariff barrier. This is
why they want the tariff kept at its
present prohibitive scales. 1t enables
them to sell at moderate profits abroad
and extortionate prices at home.
Another profoundly thought ex-
pressed by Mr.. Grosvenor is with refer
ence to our barley trade. We are sell
ing barley in England, but if the Amer
lean tariff; were removed, the Canadians
would destroy our barley industry-so
he says. If without a tariff the Can
adams can destroy our barley industry
in the United States. how comes it that
they do not destroy our barley trade in
England. where there is no tariff on the
grain, and the American and Canadian
meet upon exactly equal terms? But
we need not pursue this point any
further, because the production of bar
ley is not controlled by any trust, and
Ar. Babcock is not proposing to take
off the duty. We have mentioned it
merely to show the unsoundness and
absurdity of Mr.. Grosvenor's reasoning.

CONGRESS SHOULD INVESTIGATE.

The Columbia was built about ten years
ago. its total cost being s5.eoo0o0. 1t was
designed as a commerce destroyer. and
was extremely swift. crossing the ocean
once at an average speed of 22.S knots
per hour. 1t cost too much money and was
too good a ship to have been allowed to
degenerate into its present unserviceable
condition. The New York. the Texas.
the Detroit. and the Machias, built about
the same time are still in active service
The Navy Department has not yet in
Vestigated this matter to nix the RESPONSE
biiity FOR the practical destruction OF a
valuable ship, II the Navy Department
shall fail to investigate. Congress will be
likely to do so. This country has not yet
SO large a navy that IL can view with I'M
concern the loss of a S5.0ooo00 ship. 1t
will be advisable for Congress also to ind
out whether there are any other expensive
vessels which are being left to rust away
in the custody of watchmen.-ChicagO

AN IMPORTANT ADMISSION.

One useful result of the correspondence
between the American Antitrust League
and Attorney General Knox is the state
ment contained in letter from the latter.
which was published yesterday. to the
effect that he never was actually in the
employ OF the Steel Trust, but that he
was for some time an attorney OF the
Carnegie Steel Company. 1t is important
to have these matters right. Mr. Knox
appears to have gone from the office OF
the Carnegie Steel Company. which is the
backbone of the Steel Trust, into the
office of Attorney General of the United
States. He admits the fact and IL IL
worthy CT FASTING In ones hat for future
reference.-Chicago Chronicle.

at the same time the sales of European
products would increase because of
their cheapness. The effect would be
greatly to reduce our trade balance, and
probably wipe it out entirely. 1t is
worthy of note that the richest coun-
tries of the Old World are our best Gus
toners; but some alleged American
statesmen seem to think that we can
bankrupt those countries and still sell
to them just the same and just as
much.
1t requires no argument to make 1t
clear that Europe cannot and will not
buy very large quantities of our goods
on credit. 1t would be impossible to
continue the credit indefinitely. All
deferred payments are expected to be
met at some time, and If they are not
the sales will stop. If the deferred pay
ments take the form of investments.
such investments will constitute a
charge against Europe calling for in
terest or dividends, which must either
be paid in money or reinvested, thus in
creasing the debt. But with European
industries crushed out or seriously
N'IpBltdi tHtIt W III Dt Dut SHitil litiu
for investment in that quarter, and as
soon as we begin to demand the in
terest or dividends in money. the same
condition will be created as if the trade
balance Itself was demanded in specie.
But all of this does not prove that the
fears of Europe are groundless. AL
though we may not be able to destroy
that continents Industries, and at the
same time continue selling there large
quantities of our goods, we may easily
pursue a policy of commercial selfish
ness that will operate to the disadvan-
tase of both Europe and America 1t is
sometimes very easy matter to injure
a rival without benefiting ones self.
So Europe may, and doubtless will, re-
sort to retaliatory measures. Some of
them may not be wise-they may be
positively injurious to the country
adopting them. but they will also injure
us. Our present commercial policy is
filling all Europe with dread, and it
bodies no good to ourselves.

After all the labor and perspiration Of
the Ministers at Pekin, and their final
agreement upon a peace protocol. they
discover to their surprise that in the per
sons of Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
they have not been dealing with plenipo-
tentiaries at all, but only with negotia-
tors possessed of nothing more than ad
referendum powers Technically consid-
cred, this leaves the Dowager Empress
at liberty to reject the settlement, and 1t
IS not impossible that she may feel able
to do so, now that a large part of the
allied forces has been withdrawn. In
any event it is feared that at least there
will be delay and necessity for the APP
plication of severe pressure to get the
courts consent to the protocol. To Chi
nese cunning and duplicity there is no
end.

Portable, healthful, and beautiful. and
well furnished with those things which
( tend to refinement and intellectual de-
! velopment; it is another to be bitten by
the tarantula of social ambition The
/ former is a wish which It is worth while
to satisfy even at the cost of some self
denial and hard work; the latter is not
worth one-tenth OF the thought which
is given it.
1t is natural to desire the right sort
of social relations for ones self and
ones children. and to seek them; but as
a rule people who are fitted for good
society generally get it, in some form
or other. All the society worth enter
ing is not that whose doings are record
ed in the newspapers, by any means.
The friends who are really valuable can
be had without striving and seeking
and planning and pretence. When one
thinks of the empty show of social life
which has aroused. in many women a
mad desire for display and gayety. and
driven their husbands to dishonesty or
death, it seems as if a reform ought to
be made somewhere.
who are hunting social prominence
which is beyond their means are labor
ing under false impression of society.
Genuine good breeding recognizes gen
uine refinement anywhere in rich or
poor; and people who are really we'll
bred and refined will have twice the re-
spect for those who live within their
means. pecuniary intellectual, and
social. that they have for those who Try
to push themselves, by dint of money
and audacity into circles where they
do not belong. The English aristocrat
respects an American who is an Amer
lean, and holds to the ideals of his
country simply, braveIy, and courteous
ly; he has nothing but contempt for the
native of the United States who comes
to England with determination to
cover his republican traditions with
veneer of English convention. In short,
most sensible people, of whatever sta
ton they may be, respect honest indie
pendence and despise a toady. This
false ambition is one reason why the
foreigner who comes to this country
sometimes amasses an amount Of
money which causes his neighbors to
rub their eyes and wonder how he man
aged it. The Italian or German, with
the simple peasant ideas of his fathers,
sets up his peanut stand or his saloon,
lives as his fathers did. enjoys his mex
pensive pleasures, and saves his money.
The American spends his faster than
he gets it in the endeayor TO secure a
social position which is easily main
tanned by people who have ten times as
much money as he has The pity of it
is that in nine cases out of ten he is
chasing will-o the-wisp. If he sends
his children to a select school with the
instructions, explicit or tacit, to make
no acquaintance save those who are
socially helpful. the result viii be that
the youngsters will become snobbish
and show their lack of breeding about
twice as plainly as they would in more
surroundings. The reason
is that toadyism is fatal to real refine
ment, and defeats its own aim with a
quickness which Is often surprising.

The opinion is gaining ground that the
