AMERICANS ARE BUYING
BUSHELS OF SPARkLERs

NEW YORK, June 3.--Americans
are going diamond mad, according to
the figures given out by the custom
house here.
Diamonds and other precious stones
worth $2,422,000 were imported in Nav.
This Is greater than in any previous
month. More than s50,0o0,o 900 worth of
diamonds and other gems have been
imported since the great panic of 1901.
The increasing great demand for the
stones has increased their price, so
that purchasers find the stones have
proved a fine business investment. :

1t is the opinion Of Secretary Shaw that
the tariff duties protect the trusts from
bankruptcy If the duties were removed
there would be ruin. What trusts would be
bankrupted by the removal sof duties
Would it be the window glass trust which,
with a protection ranging from 80 to 100
per cent and more. has more than doubled
the price Of window glass? Would 1t be the
American Steel and Wire Company, one of
the constituent concerns Of the United
States Steel Corporation. which, with q
protection ranging from half cent to /
cent per pound. has much more than
doubled the domestic price Of wire nails,
while exporting about one-tenth Of Its pro-
duct at prices nearly 80 per cent lower
than those charged to domestic consumers,
and Is making profits OF some $15.OOOO 900 a
year? Would the plate glass trust be
ruined by the reduction Of its protection,
ranging from 90 to 40 per cent. by which
1t has been enabled to raise prices 100 per
cent? Would the makers of wood saws.
sewing machines. typewriters. shovels,
wire rope and other concerns who sell to
foreign consumers at prices from 20 to 90
per cent below the prices paid by domestic
consumers be driven into bankruptcy by a
reduction Of duties?

MI. CIeveland's Luck.

Hear the Cincinnati Enquirer on the sub
ject of the Cleveland boom:
THE Enquirer does not wish to detract
from whatever individuality there was In
the Cleveland campaigns, but there are a
great many mistakes about the influences
of persons in politics. Some account must
be taken of the issues, as we'll as OF the
demoralized condition of the enemy. Mr..
Cleveland was a very lucky man."
Mr.. Cleveland has been "a very lucky
man." and on several occasions has profited
greatly by 1.-The demoralized condition of
the enemy" He found his first opportunity
in the demoralized condition OF the repub-
Hcans of Buffalo. Their administration of
local affairs had become unbearable to the
better men among them, and an independ-
ent movement for control OF the town re-
suited. Nearly any good citizen could have
won the mayoralty race that year upon the
Independent platform that was adopted.
Mr.. Cleveland found his second opportu-
nifty in the demoralized condition Of the re-
publicaps of New York state. The. stall
warts and the half-breeds had for two
years been fighting each other vigorously,
and in the state convention of 1882 they
had a violent alteration over the nom1fla-
ton for governor. Judge Folger was an
excellent man. and had his party been
united he would in all probability have
been elected. But the manner Of his nomi-
nation was denounced by many Of the
members of his party, and they cut him
mercilessly at the polls He was the worst
beaten man who had ever run for office in
the state. Mr.. Cleveland's majority was
nearly two hundred thousand.
In 1884 Mr.. Cleveland entered national
politics. He ran for President against one
of the most brilliant men of the generation.
Mr.. Blaine, moreover, was a charming
man. and had host of friends. But, I'M
fortunately for him, there was that old
quarrel with Mr.. Conkling still ranking in
the bosoms of Mr.. Conklings New York
admirers. and New York was essential to
republican success. If the republicans of
the empire state had rallied to their candi-
date that year-he was assured of and did
receive many democratic votes-Mr Blaine
would have been elected President. Even
of winning.
Here, then, three times running Mr.
Cleveland. as the Enquirer puts it, played
in luck and profited by 1.-The demoralized
condition Of the enemy" At present there
is decentralization in the ranks of the
republicans. There are some warm contro-
versies, but no irreconcilable divisions.
But does Mr.. Cleveland's luck keep up?
Will such divisions occur between now and
next year. and will he be placed in position
to profit by them again? That is the ques-
tion. The Cleveland boom Is supported
largely by belief in the Cleveland luck

There are three reasons why this is an

Mr.. Smith of Georgia.

Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith has favored the
New York newspapers with a second in
tervew on the political situation. The Sun
today quotes him follows:
Il don't believe Roosevelt will be nomi
mated next year if there is a white mans
republican party in the southland L think
there will be.
Il don't think Mr. Bryan will be able to
prevent the nomina ton of an oldtime dem
ocrat like Richard Olney or Judge Parker.
Bryan never was very strong in the south.
He's too much like Roosevelt to be popular
there
Here are two propositions. Let us ex-
anime them In the order in which Mr..
Smith states them.
What influence could "a white mans
republican party in the south" have on the
next republican national convention? What
could it promise the party in the way of
electoral votes? What would 1t represent
but a desire to monopoliZe federal patron
age in the south? What sort of national
leadership would be that which would per-
init delegates representing nothing more
than this practically to name a presidential
candidate and write a national platform?
That Mr.. Smith and his democratic friends
would rejoice in such an arrangement is
certain. But what intelligent republican
living in a state where his party has
chance to win would rejoice in it? Next to
the trust influences in New York, the in
fiueDces which by their opposition make
most in Mr.. Roosevelt's favor before the
country at large, are those of the so-called
Lily Whites of the south. If Mr.. Roose-
Welt were in any kind of peril as regards
next years nomination he could afford to
offer premium on the propa cation of Lily
White opposition in states like Georgia and
Y
ocracy, by a mere twist of the wrist, car
ries the day every time.
Mr.. Bryan never very strong In the
SOUTH? Look at the majorities rolled up
for him down there both in 1896 and 1900.
And particularly remember that Mr.. Smith,
a sound money man and otherwise out of
sympathy with the Bryan movement, was
forced by Bryan sentiment in Georgia in
1896 to resign from Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet
and go home and support Mr.. Bryan for
President Suppose he had kept his cabinet
portfolio and openly sympathzed with the
Mckinley campaign, what would have been
his reception in Georgia upon his return
There. and what would be the extent of his
political influence there today?
Or course Mr.. Bryan is not very strong
an the south after his two defeats. The
south is at once intensely sentimental and
intensely practical. She takes very
human interest in the flesh pots She is
tired or looking into an empty platter
But discredited as he is by two defeats.
and peaked she is by seven wears of
emptiness, Mr.. Bryan could yet, in a per
sonat contest for her favor drive every
thing before him in the south His dash

snap OF his jaw, would put out of business

Spending American Gold in Europe.

The tide of transatlantic travel has now
set in strongly. in both directions. To these
shores are coming thousands Of Immigrants
weekly. in recorl- breaking numbers A
large proportion Of them are intending to
become permanent residents, but a certain
percentage will doubtless return to their
former homes. especially Italy, as soon as
they have accumulated what is for them a
competence. This constant draining of the
American surplus into the villages Of south
ern Europe cannot easily be stopped short
OF system Of immigrant inspection which
will require each incOmer to give bond to
remain permanently. or for period of FIVE
or ten years. Such a law is out of the
question, especially as we have ourselves
set the fashion of taking much greater
sums of American money abroad to spend.
The outgoing tide Of oceanic travel is re-
ported already to be the heaviest In any
season. The steamers are departing with
their accommodations taxed to the limit
and passage is engaged for months In ad-
vance to secure transport. Each Of these
thousands of tourists will spend several
hundred dollars abroad outside of the pas
sage money. The total expenditures on
the other side will certainly aggregate
81, 600 600 for the season. a far greater sum
than will be carried over by the returning
immigrants. For this expenditure the
United States will have very little to show
short of few new clothes and some curl
osities. souvenirs of doubtful value and
relics of questionable antiquity, picked
up here and there abroad. A certain part
of these European tourists will bring back
with them substantial mental improvement,
in the widening of the personal horizon and
the requirement Of some smattering Of for
eign tongues and the realization that this
is after all the best place in which to live.

Germany in the Saddle.

AS every thing that is said and done over
here is 50 rigidly examined abroad let us
hope that neither the London nor the Paris
ian press will take serious offense at the
parting civility exhibited by the President
yesterday to the German ambassador. 1t
was thoughtful OF the ambassador to GO to
the railroad station and wish the President
a pleasant journey and 1t was thoughtful
Of the President to offer to the ambassador
the use of his saddle horses during his alb
sence from town. But there Is really no
telling The matter may appear grave
enough after the foreign leader writer's
have tried their practiced hands on it.
There may be a foreign war in 1t for all
We know on this side. If war Is to come,
however. it should not be declared against
us until the Presidents return. We are en-
titled to a fair start
