Oppose Reduction of Tariff.

We oppose the proposition TO reduce the
tartn on Cuban products coming into this
country, because II Involves a relaxation of
protective principle.
The republican platform OF 1895 con-
demned the democratic party for not keep
ing faith with the American sugar grow

same condemnation.
The proposition TO reduce the sugar tarfff
constitutes, In essence. an abandonment Of
the protective principle, even though Il
involves only one-fifth Of the duty imposed
by the Dingley law, and this abandonment

Settlement Worker Missing Since 1906
Is in San Francisco.
After five years absence Rev. Edward
A. Waldo formerly connected with the
University Settlement Society OF New
York City. has been heard from at San
Francisco. Although detectives have
searched this country and Europe. Waldo
himself, after the long silence following
his mysterious disappearance from New
York in the summer of 1896. first sent
word to his family. which long ago had
given him up as dead. His brother, Geo.
Il. Waldo. an artist of New York, has
started for San Francisco. Ii was to his
aged father, Simon S. Waldo. one Of the
leading business men of New Haven.
Conn. that the minister sent the letter.
Realizing the probable fears OF jsKe,
he had taken the precaution to have the
letter countersigned by San Francisco
minister with whom he is staying tempo
rarly. Rev Mr.. Waldo left the head
quarters of the New York University
Settlement Society the afternoon OF July
10, 1896. and between there and his
home he disappeared. Detectives traced
him as far as a Mississippi river town,
where he was supposed to have boarded
boat for New Orleans, but there the
clew ended. Once before MIR. Waldo dis
appeared in a similar way. He labored
In Chicago before going to New York,
and while doing mission work there was
lost often. He had been raising a large
fund 10 buy provisions for the poor OF
Chicago. Several weeks later he was
found wandering aimlessly about the
streets Of Tallahassee, Fla. 1t was three
weeks before he could tell his name.

New YORK. was somewhat affected
l---- during the last week by dis.
agreeable weather conditions Trade was
not seriously intcrfered with, however.
and orders continue to multiply in most
manufacturing lines. 1t is natural to ex-
pect less activity in many directions in
February, just before the spring BUSH
ness gets well under way.
The surprising and growing demand by
home consumers for iron and steel pro-
ducts has placed the country, according
TO some authorities, close TO a famine in
steel. The primary cause OF this great
consumption is the universal prosperity
in the United States. II the last year
had not contained so bright a promise
for trade and the new year had not open
ed 50 auspicously this demand would not
have arisen. But the encouraging sound
ness of business emboldened railroads to
add to track facilities and equipment an5
manufacturers to expand.
Where the competitive export trade
was sought a year ago by the makers of
iron and steel, the home trade to-day
makes demands they are not able to
meet. SO far above the capacity of the
home mills are these demands that fur
ther imports from Germany are under
consideration. The German manufactur-
ers have an opportunity now to get rid
of their surplus stocks. There is talk of
bringing back to this country foundry
iron sold in 1901 to European buyers. 1t
is estimated that two thirds of this year 5
output of pig iron has already been dis
posed Of For prompt shipments pre-
miums are offered. Eastern producers of
pig have decided on an advance Of so
cents a ton. The structural and bridge
company of the United States Steel Cor
poration is said to be sold ten months
ahead.
The busy state of the iron and steel
trade is drawing some outside capital into
the erection of new plants, but the policy
of the steel corporation t, avoid advances
in prices tends to check activity in that
direction. The independent companies in
the iron and steel business are advancing
prices, although the steel corporation is
not doing so. Those companies intend to
get from the consumers all the consumers
are willing to pay.
The copper market is quiet. The large
sales at low prices to consumers have
stocked them up for short time to come,
ana, WIN the SmalleF uelnaHu WHICH tllS
will lead to, there is belief that lower
prices may be reached again.
The strike in Rhode Island plants of
the American Wooden Company is still
going on. The company is filling its or
ders without hindrance, as the closed
plants turn out only one-seventh of its
total output. The United Mine Workers
have finally decided to sign last years
scale, but peace may not be kept through
the year.

a. Plans Tor the construction
| LllIbdllU of several downtown build
- ings will be advanced rap
idly in view of the Councils action in
removing the bar to high fireproof struc-
lures. Contracts for structural material
needed for new buildings are in view, and
while they add to the already overtaxed
condition of structural mills, contractors
and builders believed they will be able
to get needed material. Building permits
issued in January in Chicago represent a
larger outlay than in any January since
1894. Improvement in the real estate
market continues.
Cotton is quiet, with the statisticianS
still at loggerheads as to the crop. Sta
pie cottons are no more active, home
buyers combining themselves to the supply
of immediate needs. Demand for export
purposes was limited. Jobbers are conf
dent of larger business this year than
last. Prices of wool hold firm, but de-
mand is moderate. The output of New
England shoe factories is larger this year
than last The leather market is active.
Slight improvement is reported in hides.
An agreement has been made between
the Standard Oil Company and four in
dependent concerns to advance prices one

poration would be glad to have is not
enjoyed by it.
May wheat was rather quiet, but near
~ steady, the net result of the week being
a loss of 1sc to &c. A lighter demand
caused weakness in May corn and net
loss of 11sc. The crop situation IS being
watched closely by stock market opera
tors.
The money market holds at to . per
cent and the demand is good. The Bank
of England made a further reduction of
one-haIf of per cent in its discount rate,
the second in two weeks. The rate now
IS 3 per cent. Gold exports of $4.210.OOO
were made to Europe from New York.
