We must not imagine that American capital is
dependent upon national legislation in order TO
make ship owning pay. We have ample evidence of
large American investments in foreign built ships

Prominent protecttonists in New-1ork, Pitts

cred attempt the part OF well known 1fee
traders TO use the reciprocity convention TO be
held in Washington on November 19, as means
TO break down the protective system and secure
sweeping amendments to the DingIey tariff law
1t was announced yesterday that, as result OF
the fear that the free traders would have Things
pretty much their own way, Charles A Moore
president OF the American Protective IarlH
League. had decided not to attend the conven-
ton, and that all of the more prominent mem
bers of the league would purposely stay away
from the meeting. When Mr. Moore was seen
yesterday afternoon at his machinery supply
house in Liberty-st, he said:
1T is true that I had intended to attend the
reciprocity convention on the 18th. ana that
am not going Mr. Moore paused an instant
and then added, I'm too busy"

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE statement IN a

British Secretary of Legation there, to the e1ect
that the United States has approved the claim
OF Great Britain TO be recognized as a protector
of the Mosquito Indians. has attracted the at
tention OF the diplomatic body here An In
quiry indicates that there is danger Of COM
pIete misunderstanding Of the matter The Brit
ish Government is endeavoring TO negotiate
treaty with Nicaragua which will enable the
British 20 retire from all claim OF jurisdiction
on the Mosquito coast. leaving Nicaragua in full
sovereignty there with due guarantees for the
proper treatment of the Indians hitherto under
British protection.
The United States Government has taken no
action but it is OF course to the interest OF TINS
country that some such absolute recognition OF
the sovereignty of Nicaragua should be maze
and the pending questions arising out or the
Treaty OF MRnagua between Great Britain ana
Nicar "a qua got out OF the way.
The fact is. that far from acquiring any
new privileges on the Mosquito coast. the Brit

Hon act TO check the accumulation OF surplus
revenues IN the Treasury.
The question which confront. Us now, ne sa4u
to-day is whether we shall increase our expehu1-
lures or decrease our revenue by reducing taxation
The lfege balance IN the Treasury and the con-
stantt increasing surplus are OF course an INVITA-

restrain the energies of people or acquire
broader markets for American goods. Ny opinion
Is that we should take all OF the necessary steps 70
give the widest possible markets to American

done under the reciprocity arrangements Of the

WORKING FOR TARIFF REVISION
STEEL TRUST NEEDS EXORBITANT RATES
rRv TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

Washington, Nov. I4-Representative Baboock Of
wisconsin one OF the members OF the Ways and
Means Committee OF the last House is still push
ing his project for revising the tariff schedules OF
the Dngley act
My idea as TO tariff revision is simple. think"
he said to-day 1t is this: Where by changed con-
dttions tariff duties have become exoroitant. far
beyond the needs of protection, l would put them
where they would amply protect lab1. but not 70
q point that would create monopoly Of trade and
raise prices to consumers In other words. II an
article costs s. to be produced abroad and 81 20 to
be produced in this country would favor % per
cent duty protect ourselves but not 200 per cent
which would simply afford margin for increasing
the price TO our consumers. There is no de-
parture from Republican protective principles in
that I reassert that l ardent an advocate
Of the Republican doctrine Of protection 10 Amerl-
can Industries there is in this country
There has been a great deal of talk about the
small manufacturer I want TO give the small
manufacture all the protection he needs But
bear this IN mind. the small manufacturers in the
steel iron business that capitalized leglu-
mately that have no Watered stock. that are run
upon strictly business principles can pay dvloeho5
with a rate of tariff upon which the Steel Trust
would have pass its dividends on its common
and preferred stock. The trust needs the eXorbl-
tariff 10 keep up prices in order TO pay dlVl-
dends upon its great volume of Watered stock Inc
trust is making enormous profits The small fel-
lows, of are following the prices set by the
trust they don't need any such tariff in order
to enable them make a handsome profit on their
opera tons There is my whole proposition in brief
It is not question of revenue, but of protect
ing the consumer against exorbant prices and
still giving the small manufacturer adequate pro-
lection against Toreign competition In the class
OF manufactures my bill touches. abor does not
enter TO such degree in other branches of steel
making. The great part of the is surface ore
