1t is quite remarkable that the papers
which are demanding that tariff duties
which are well-nigh, if not quite, prohib-
itory be cut down so as to get rid Of the
surplus do not see that reducing a duty
which shuts out foreign goods so that they
can be imported will increase, rather than
decrease, the amount of duties which would
be collected. Take the duties on article
like window glass. The duties are now so
high that very little is imported. If the
duties were reduced so per cent. the
amount imported would be very large and
the duties collected would probably be in
creased 100 per cent. If no window glass
is imported now because of the high duty
there is every reason to believe that
large quantity would be imported for year
or two until the market should be glut-
ted; consequently whatever revenues were
collected under the lower rate of duty
would so to increase the surplus. If all
the duties now imposed upon foreign goods
were reduced so per cent. there is not the
least doubt that the surplus would be in
creased for a few years. If there are ar
ticles which can be put on the free list
it would be different since whatever rev.
enue is collectible under the present duties
would be eliminated. To reduce the duties
on woolens, the higher grade of cottons
and scores of articles made of steel so that
European competitors could sell their goods
here would curtail production and labor
in this country and increase the revenues
until the country's capacity to purchase
literally should cease.

Due to Train Wreckers.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 6.-The east
bound passenger train on the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Company's road which
left this city at Q "a. m. was wrecked twelve
miles east of The Dalles this afternoon.
The engine turned completely over and
Engineer Maurice Cavanaugh was badly
scalded and perhaps internally injured.
Fireman Frank erase was seriously in
jured. None of the passengers was hurt.
The wreck was undoubtedly the work of
train wreckers. A seVen-eighths inch

rail of a three-degree curve. Another nut

hundred feet from the first one.

ayers Of the late Pan-American Exposition
will ask Congress to make good their
losses to the amount of about 81, 10000 at
tributable, as they claim, to the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley. 1t is doubt
less true that this event did for a time
cause a great falling off in the receipts
of the exposition, but there is no justice
in asking Congress to make good the def
icit. The Buffalo exposition was private
enterprise, commendabIe in every respect,
but Congress should not establish the prec-
edent of making good the losses of such
undertakings. 1t has spent too much
money on expositions already.
