IN HONOR OF SPENCER.
BRATE AND DISTING UISHED M4-
 JOR GENERAL.
One of the Two Major Generals of Our Revolutionary War of Connecticut Bir rth-Riu Movement on Foot by the
 $500 Ladies oft the Connecticut ID. A. K.

During the Revolutionary war there were only two Connecticut men who were made major generals. One of these was Dav.d Wooster, of New Haven, who resided here with his wife, and who
 was killed in Danbury during Tryon's
 invasion of this state. The other Con-
 nectieut man who was made a maJor general was Joseph Spencer, whose memory has almost been forgotten III Connecticut until now. when the Con necticut society of the Daughters or the American Revolution has come to the |rescue and have started a movement that will doubtless be crowned with brilliant success.
 General Spencer was highly educat-
 ed man and a judge of probate in Had
 dam, his native town. He was mem
 Der of congress, an officer in the French
 and Indian war, and a major general in
 the Revolution. This is record that
 few Connecticut men have attained and
 it is a source of pleasure to think that
 his name will not sink into oblivion.
 Connecticut has spent $1500 for the
 erection of monument in Danbury in
 commemoration of Wooster's achieve
 ments, and the state also appropriated
 S3,000 for monument to Putnam. It
 took $6,000 to dedicate that monument,
 and although 1t was deserving, Putnam
 was a Massachusetts born man. Indi-
 viduals gave S3,50O for the Putnam
 monument, making in all $12,5O0 spent
 in his honor, and so far not cent has
 been spen. in commemoration of the gallant and refined General Spencer,
 who is equally worthy to be honored.
 The Connecticut Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, thinking it high time to do honor to the name Of thos worthy general, took oc- casion at a recent meeting held in Meriden, and passed resolutions to pc tition the general assembly of the state of Connecticut. to appropriate a sum of money to commemorate in some.tan- gible way the memory of General Jo- seph Spencer A committee of mem bers of .he Connecticut D. A. R. was appointed to appear before the leglsla- tive committee and this they did last week, and the spokesman for the local society was Mrs. Sarah T. Kinney, the state regent The committee asked for the appropriation of $1,500 and the rec ommendation of the legislative commit | tee for this amount will be heard before the general assembly this week. There is great hope among the members that the sum will be provided. There are 3512 members of the society in the state of Connecticut, and some of those of | the committee that was appointed to | petition the general assembly besides | Mrs. Kinney were the following: Mrs. | John M. Holcomb of Hartford, Miss | Bowman of Bristol. Mrs Vincent Coffin 1 of Middletown, Mrs. Wood of Simsbury, | Mrs. Griffeth of East Haddam, Mrs. Morris F. Tyler of New Haven, and Mrs Galston of East Haven.

WHAT The TARIFF DOES.

For many years past the tariff ques
ton has been the main stay of the Re-
publican party, and it has won its vic
tories at the polls with that issue pro-
mount issue in the election.
The tariff was first brought into play
when it was regarded by political
economists as necessary for the 'fos-
tering of our struggling infant inou-
tries.'' This was the language of
Thomas jefferson.
These industries are now no longer
infants but giants, and instead of being
fostered by the government, they rule
the power that first gave them a
chance to live
In the Monthly Summary of Com
MERGE and Finance of the United
States, for August last published by
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton, there is an extended review of the
iron and steel trade of the United
States, in which these statements are
made: ..'@-
The progress of work on ship buile !.
ing in the United States has likewise
been retarded, because makers of steel
materials required higher price from
the American consumers than they did
from the foreign consumers for SUBJ
stantially similar products.
The author of the publication, o. P.
Austin, Chief of the Bureau of Statis-
tics, does not hesitate to condemn this
greedy policy as shortsighted, and to
point out that it must result o pOpu-
lar demand for reduction Of duties.
In this regard he sa. page 25D:
If steel rails, for example, sell at
Pittsburg for S25 ton for months In
succession for home consumption, while
the foreign consumer is purchasing
them for 80 to S24 ton, the domestic
market is sure to order no uOre than it
is obliged to have for the time being.
Speaking Of the general trend OF
prices, the same authority remarks
page 25i, relative to the iron and stee
trade:
Excepting our main kinds of pig iron,
steel Tails. and beams, the prices O.
July 5, 1900, are lower than they were
on June 80, 1899, though the leading
iron and steel products are still from )
to 15 per cent hig her than they were
two years ago. On the whole, the stu
alton is well in hand owing to the con
troll of consolidated management.
Last year the trust was selling rail
in Europe at prices about Sll a ton be
low those fixed for the American mar
ket. IL may be presumed that
material discrepancy still exists.
How long will the American peopl
submit to such fragrant robbery as thl
and at the same time play into tn
hands of their plunderers by givin'
countenance to prohibitive duties 70
the benefit of trust-controlled ind us
tries that are masters of the markets c
the world?
In return for the favors extended b
the government, they extend thei
favOrs to foreign countries, and depres
the wages of American mechanics.
