DOMESTIC AND EXPORT PRICES.

AND EAFOH Er'bOHS'
II is not denied that certain American
manufactures are sold in foreign mar
kets at somewhat lower prices than are
obtained for them in the home market,
but the attempt to make political cap
ital out Of this is not likely to be very
fruitful. 1t is the testimony OF ex-
perienced trade authorities that where
our manufactures have been sold abroad
for less than they are here, it has been
for the purpose of avoiding domestic
over-production and the inevitable re-
action and depression in American In
dustries that would have followed.
"As a matter of fact" remarks the
American Economist, "the granting Of
discounts to foreign purchasers has
been grossly exaggerated for political
effect. American wage earners, who
constitute the great bulk of domestic
consumers, are not finding any fault on
the score of discounts to the export
trade. What they know is that there Is
abundant employment at good wages
and they are not the ones who clamor
for such a ripping open Of the tartn as
would close the mills and factories e
the limit of, domestic consumption
should be ~reaGhed." Those who make
so great an ado about the difference be
tween export and domestic prices choose
to consider only one side of the ques-
ton.

EVIL OF
Degenerate Practice that Appears 10
he Making New Headway. q
Chicago New.

Chicago News.
When a man bets his money on the re-
suit Of a horse race, or OF any other con-
test, he does It because he wishes to get
some other persons money through his
own superior shrewdness or good fortune.
The plea that excitement Il the main
consideration in making the bet falls to
the ground when one considers the chagrin
with which the loser views the outcome
Of his venture. Yet bookmakers and
gambling house proprietors amass fortunes,
while their patrons In a vast majority Of
cases see the money they risk depart
from them forever. The fascination Of the
thought Of large winnings OF other peoples
money is irresistible to many thousands
Of persons. That the customary losses
lead to crippled fortunes and even to en-
bezzlements in many instances, while less
tragic injuries are suffered in innumerable
other instances, Is a matter, OF common
knowledge. Yet the betting fever grows
apace.
To many persons who do not appreciate
the harmful nature OF the vice, feeling
secure In their own persons so far as bank
ruptcy or fortune or morals is concerned,
the vulgarity of striving to get other peo-
pies money should serve as a reason for
giving up the practice. whats mine Is
my own; what's yours is mine" There
fore, why bet? Culture is an uncompro-
missing enemy OF the betting vice. The dis
fractions which attend the u~nlovely game
Of trying to get another mans money on a
bet dissipate thought. which must be con-
centrated on some useful purpose to be
OF any value to It's possessor. AS an eco
nomic waste Of mental energy the betting
evil ,osts even more deadly than in actual
-N
weekly wages or employers till.
The sooner the general public accepts
this wholesale view the better for honest
industry of every sort.

Bryan's PopuIistiC PrOclivities.

Phlladelphla RECORD (denL)
If Mr.. Bryan is to have his way there will
be no harmony with the sound money demo-
Gratis who opposed him and his free silver
humbugs in 1896. He regards these demo-
Gratis as dangerous ballast for the demo-
cratic ship. to be thrown overheard along
with all others who decline his c~aptaincy.
On the other hand. the sound money demo-
Gratis offer no obstacle to harmony, mas
much as they look upon free silver as a
dead issue beyond the power of restoration.
Even in the silver producing Rocky noun
tain states democrats and republicans alike
have abandoned the issue and its only sup
porters are a remnant of the populists. Of
whose doctrines Mr.. Bryan is q true repre-
sentative and champion.

Twelve years ago an effort was made
to inaugurate a tax reform movement
which was only partially successful, but
nevertheless blazed the way for the more
recent efforts to secure tax reduction.
The original document In possession OF
The Bee reads as follows: F.
The undersigned property owners ana tax
payers Of Omaha hereby associate them
selves for the purpose OF protecting their
Interests and cooperating to prevent ex-
travagant and unlawful expenditures OF the
public moneys by city and county authori-
ties and the creation Of illegal debts aud
maintenance Of agents and ofhcials not
authorized by law, and the unlawful levy
OF taxes. In order to carry out the object
Of this association we propose to employ
competent attorneys to enforce our rights
In the courts and hereby agree TO share
the expenses incurred, which are to be
limited TO not exceeding $50 per annum for
any member OF this association.
1t will be noted that while the original
tax reform association left out of it's
program the revision OF assessment rolls,
1t sought to accomplish what the Real
Estate exchange has not yet even at
tempted. The field is still open for CO.
operation to prevent wasteful and un-
lawful expenditures Of public moneys by
city and county authorities, and that OF
course, would also include the school
board.

or course, It was not to be expected that
the uniform regulations would meet with
approval on every side and 1t is some
thing Of an achievement for the army
board that the members have wrought so
satisfactorily. The suggestion has been
made that perhaps the board would have
found 1t useful to have invited competitive
designs from tailors and other experts in
military apparel. This. to the minds Of
some people, seems to offer the hope that
the board would have been aided in its
conclusions by original propositions which
would have resulted in the adoption Of a
uniform at once original and distinctive.
There might have been a temptation on
the part of such advisers, however, to have
suggested something so radical in the re-
vision OF uniform regulations as TO have
yielded the tailors the greatest pecuniary
results. The board was guided in it's md
ings apparently by the very commendable
desire not to add more than was absolutely
necessary to the expense Of individual off,
GERS, notably those Of the Junior grades,
all Of whom must be put to the personal
cost of equipping themselves with the new
service habiliment.

The retention Of the aiguilette az a part
Of the uniform Of certain officers Of the
army recalls the fact that much mystery
has always surrounded the origin and
significance of this elaborate device. 1t has
commonly been accepted that the siguilette
was originally a cord which supported a
pencil used by aids and adjutants In writing
military orders and dispatches. Its utility,
OF course, has long since ceased and II has
become only an attractive ornamentation
The clothing experts Of our army have pos
sibly discovered the origin OF the aiguilette;
at any rate they have run across an ancient
tradition which might be accepted as bear
ing with Veracity upon the subject. II
seems that the Spanish duke Of Alva many
years ago had cause to complain Of the con-
duct OF a body Of Flemish troops. He issued
orders that in view OF the misconduct on
the part of these troops the individual men,
bers should be punished by hanging wher-
ever they were found, without regard to
rank or grade. The. Flemish soldiers re-
piled that to facilitate the execution or this
order they would hereafter wear on the
shoulder a rope to which would be attached
a nail. This convenient appliance they
consequently adopted. but their subsequent
conduct became so brilliant and exemplary,
It is said. that this rope and its pendant nail
were transformed into a braid OF pAssemen-
terie and became a badge of honor TO be
worn by officers Of prineely households and
others who were OF notable and conspicu-
Gus career. In our own army the aiguillette,
which may or may not be the descendant of
the Aiya decoration. will be worn by adju-
tants general. inspectors general. ofheers Of

The abandonment OF the Geneva cross

lations provide that In time Of war with

There continues. Of course. to be criticism
OF the frock coat which is retained for
mounted and dismounted officers. Colonel
J. d. Bingham proposed that the dress
coat should be something on the style Of
the colonial garment, without. OF course, the
bun ~facings. This, 1t will be recalled, has
a cutaway effect Of the skirts. The belt
could be worn underneath the coat. an
arrangement which would enable the tailors
to make q better At and one Of greater
convenience in the case Of of1cers who are
mounted. The frock coat, a. has been re-
peatedly stated. does not lend itself easily
to the figure Of a man who il not Of
normal proportions. The stout man and
the thin man have about equal right to
complain, as neither Of them appears to
sartorial advantage in such a coat.

Army and Navy Register.
Army ofncers have hardly had time 10
digest the provisions Of the general order
publishing the new clothing regulations.
The changes, however, seem to meet with
approval. There are minor details, Of
course, upon which officers differ In opinion
as to the advisability Of the decision Of
the uniform board. One OF the things
criticized is the placing Of the decoration
on the sleeve OF the dress coat too near
the bottom Of the cuff. 1t is claimed that
a better effect would have been obtained
II the band Of gold wire braid had been
placed at the junction Of the cuff with the
sleeve proper instead Of two and one-half
inches from the end Of the sleeve. This
would have brought the rank insignia, in
dictated by fiat gold braid. above the elbow
and would have given a less squatty APP
pearance than is now the case. It IL said.
