IMPIGRIAL APP LOGISTS

weighty utterances before the Holland
Society Of New York by Mr.. Cleveland.
The Fourteenth street organ in it's eff

Times, which, by the way, it persist

paper though it is and long has been a
rank and partisan Republican organ,
and the Chicago Inter-Ocean. t.fter
garbling the ex-President to suit its
purpose the latter says ironically:
Who are the men who are to set I'm
his monarchy? Why, we plain Amer
lean citizens whose fathers fought to
save this republic" And adds: Does
the Hon. Grover Cleveland believe that
bhe American manhood of to-day will,
ever stoop to any hand-kissing hom.
age?"
Thus do the Mckinley apologists beg
the question. The imperial ruler Amer
leans have to fear would probably not
care to wear a jewelled crown or sit

would probably comport himself much
as Mr.. Mckinley does and continue to
live in a mansion called the White

WE NEW ENGLISH KING.

The oath of the king of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire,
land and its territories, apart from
its reference to the established church
Of England, is exceedingly simple,
quite as much so as that of President
of the United States, whose induction
into Office is not accompanied by less
formality than accompanies the
proclamation of the English kings
ascendency The elaborate ceremony
Of coronation is separate and in the
case of Queen Victoria it did not
occur until year after she had been
made de facto queen.
ALBERT Edward" as Artemus Ward
called him, become King Edward VII
at a ripe age that precludes the pos
sibility of the crown long being his.
At the same time his years have add
ed solidity and sedateness to his
character and largely corrected the
habits of his more youthful days.
Withal he is doubtless a man in
whose common sense and good taste
the English nation may have conf
dence.

Why should "Oom Paul" make his
visit to the United States conditional
on his official welcome by President
Mckinley. which will not be forthcom-
ing? Since he will receive the well
come Of the people of the United States
he can well afford to dispense with that
of Mr.. Mckinley, just as his brave peo-
pie in South Africa have put up a mag
nificent fight for their liberties without
even the usual official encouragement
and sympathy it has heretofore been
the custom of the United States to give
in such cases.

NOT YET ANSWERED..

The Fourteenth street organ quotes
from the American Economist the fol-
lowing questions asked by Congress
man Gilbert of Kentucky last sum-
mer:
Does a protective tariff enable home
manufacturer to sell his goods at
higher price than he could procure with
out protection?" and Does this higher
price follow the goods on down the line
until it reaches the consumer?'
The best the Economist can do in
the way of reply is to quote the Lon
don Coal Trade Review as follows:
1.-The price of tin plates has lately fallen
to such an extent that few tinplate max
ers can cover cost, even if they use
American bars" and lit is stated that
no relief has come to the tin plate max
ers by the introduction of American bars,
but they have enabled the prices of tin
plates to be knocked down to a ruinouS
extent"
This is given by the Economist as
an answer to Congressman Gilbert's
pointed question.
concerned it is probably sufficiently
conclusive, but it leaves the pith and
point of the question unanswered. 1t
wasn't the English consumer who has
all along had cheap tin plate, but the
American consumer Mr.. Gilbert wants
to know about. And as to what has
been done to the American consumer
by the tinplate trust under cover Of
the tinplate tariff our high tariff con-
temporaries one and all are discreet
ly silent.
1t has long been notorious that
American 'p~otected' trusts sell
abroad at one-half to one-third the
prices charged in the United States.
OF course, prices are forced to
the bottom abroad. But how about
the prices of these same trusts
wares in the United States? That
is the question Mr.. Gilbert asked
and which the American Econo-
mist utterly fails to answer for
the good reason that it cannot do so
without utterly condemning the pres
ent extortionate tariff system. The
Tinplate trust last year. according to
its last statement to its. stockholders,
made over 16 per cent profit on an
disqualification representing treble
the real value of the plants. How was
it enabled to do this? Why simply
because it has more than doubled the
price of tinplate to the American con-
sumner under cover of the tariff since
the combine was formed Yet this
same trust, which thus bilks the
American consumer up to the
tariff limit in the protected home
market, produced so cheaply, accord
ing to the testimony brought forward
by the American Economist itself, as
to have been enabled to drive its Eng
lish competitors to the wall on their
own ground.
The American Economist proves be-
yond question that the American high
tariff system and its child the Ameri-
can trust are grand things for the for
eign consumer, but heavy burdens on
the people at home in free America. "

I'm The CornhIll that that eminent man
spent every day from o to . or , o'clock
In his study. Gle always kept on his
table the edition OF Gibbon. with the
notes of GulZot and Milmnn. Dolllng-

most always the copy of 'Ath0nnslus'
which had belonged TO Bossuet and
which contained In the margin notes In

delighted TO call him. Newman had

Talking TO me one day about Greek
thinkers, lie said - and | believe he
has mentioned II to others-that he
owed little or nothing intellectually TO
any Latin writer. with one exception.
The exception was not st. Augustine,
but Cicero. He always maintained
that he owed his marvellous style TO the
persistent study of Cicero. This Will
strike, no doubt. many people MS most
strange. st. Augustine, one would
think. would have appealed to New
