WILL ENFORCE TARIFF. Russia Takes Steps to Keep Out
 Foreign Goods.
,nce tn Asaociated Prase,

Correspondence to Associated Press.
 St. Petersburg, Nov. N.-Another step in the policy of reinforcing the customs duties by absolute prohibition of foreign made goods has beci: taken out. The Ministers of Finance and the Interior have commanded all zemetvos Qocal gov ernment boards) to use Russian-made machinery and other articles to the ex- clusion of foreign. The avowed purpose is the support of industry in Russia and of the gold circulation. The newspapers of Siberia. where American goods have hitherto been sold in spite of the high duties, are particularly loud in their com plaints. Similar orders have already been given to the naval, military and rail road workshops.
 New efforts in the same direction may possibly also result from the present Neurological Congress at Harkoff. which was requested by the Minister of Finance to explain why Russia consumes 1S4, 900. 900 tons of foreign coal 1.62l 600 of foreign iron and steel products and 3,3S3,0Oo of foreign machinery every year in spite of the high tariff

California's Raisin Crop.

San Francisco Telegram to New York
 Post.
 The raisin crop of California is one of the principal fruit industries of the State, and it Is continually increasing in value and amount. This seasons crop Is 5,OD- carloads of ten tons to the carload. This is about two-thirds of the consumption of the United States. The Mediterranean countries supply the remainder. These competing countries ship raisins to New York at about $10 a ton, while the freight rate to New York from CalifSr- mia is $25 a ton, sometimes more.
 Adult raisin pickers in this State are paid $1 day; in the Mediterranean States they are paid 15 to % cents day Yet this industry has grown to be one of the most productive in the State, the crop this year being the largest of any
 within the last decade. More acreage has been planted and the principles of scientific culture applied with greater care. Horticulturists have also concluded
 within the past few years to grow only l those particular fruits to which the eli mate and soil of this State are especially | adapted.
 | Chinese are entering the field as raisr | growers They save the outlay for pick l CTS and lease the supposedly worn-ou 1 orchards of their employers. By untirins industry they make good crops where tho | white man has failed. The practice o. leasing ranches to them is becoming more common, especially as they are prompt
 to pay and always make at least par of a crop. even in the most disastroul years. Even large landholders are divid ing their immense tracts and renting tt Chinese. Generally the Chinese ren these small tracts in colonies" of fiv
 or twenty and work on an equal division l of profits.

THE IRON MARKET.
No, Danger of Early Subsistence o'
 Activity.

Activity.
 New York, Nov 2s.-Discusstng the present condition of iron and steel The Iron Age says:
 Nothing has occurred to indicate any danger of an early subsistence pf the great activity which characterkes the iron and steel trades. More iron and steel are being made and consumed in the United States than at any previous time in the history of this or any other esy a still larger business for the comins 2 year. The full capacity of the blast fur naces and steel works completed ana Tn process of erection seems to be especially needed to meet the reeuirements Of tho country for the greater part of the first six months of 1902. It Is seldom that in- dications for an approaching year point go strongly to heavy trade as at the present time"
 Further The Iron Age says: An active condition of business continues to be re- ported in pig iron, and stocks at fur naces are known to be steadily diminish ing. The furnace companies are handling their business conseryatively and while they have made some slight advances. arc disposed to discourage anything which might lead to speculation. More business has been done in foreign billets for im- portation. .e.s...." rassed by exasperating occurrences. which interfere with such operations.

 SIRE FOR DEMOCRATIC UNITY
Asserts Willingness to Make sacri- f1ces-Implies That He Would Accept Hill as Party Leader.

New York Special to N. o. Times-Dem-

 '"The Republicans MT. Croker said, ''are expressing the people and making understand the oppression. and just give them a united Democratic standard to rally around and they will throw the Republicans out of power. won't stand mony. no matter what they ask me 10
 Croker did not say he would go so far as to give up the leadership or Iammany fl om his talk that he would even do that if necessary. He seemed to have lost all his old time animoslty towards Hill.
 Elliott Danforth, Hilrs first lieutenant, was equally conciliatory. He said:
 "The time has come for harmony in the party. By quarreling we have been play ing into the hands of the Republicans, and there is now a disposition all around to get together. We see that it is use. less to go into the State campaign next year without a united party. The Repub- iicans are pretty sure to renominate Gov ernor Odell and he Is not an easy man to beat. If we don't get together, we might as well give up the fight and put up no ticket at all. On the other hand, if the factions get together, the Demo- crats can win, as this Is Democratic State. I am quite sure. too. that union can be effected in a short time. The Democrats are tired of playing into the hands of the enemy, and they are going to stop the game"
 It was learned from the best authority that this basis of harmony has been pro- posed:
 Croker to abandon his position as State leader, Hill to be recognized as the chief of the upstate forces, the Hill men to use their influence with the Greater New York Democracy to bring about a Demo- cratic union on Tammany's municiRal Tammany to unite with the upstate Democrats in sending solid Hill delega- tion to the Democratic National Conven- tion in 1904

Republican Bourbonism.

Minneapolis Journal.
 The Republican party is threatened by bourbonism. Bourbonism in politics is unprogressiveness. It is the stubborn dis
 position to stand in the way of progress until the obstructionist is trampled under foot. The men. who determine the poli- cies of the Republican party are chiefly in the East. Eastern Republicans refuse to abandon their high tariff ideas and stand by their extravagantly protected indus tries in spite of the imminent danger of the loss of the House of Representatives in 1902, and the loss of the Presidency in 1904 because they calculate that the Republican majority in the Senate can not be disturbed for five or six years, any way, and until 1t is no change in the po- utical control of the House and the Pres idency can accomplish anything In the way of radical tariff revision.

What Reciprocity Means to Us.

There are difference of aptitude and training as we'll as climate that give na- tions pre-eminence in various things. For ourselves we have simply built up our industries. whether by protection or not we care not. We have plants that can produce mere than we can consume. We cannot sell our products abroad be- cause our tariff laws are so unfriendly to the products of other countries. What we propose Is on mutual agreement with those countries to admit specified pro- ducts of theirs to our market in return for the admission of specified products of ours to their market.
