CARTER PROBABLY
IN ST, LOUIS
OF THE TERRITORY
WENT THERE TO STRAIGHTEN
OUT WORLDS FAIR MATTER.

Secretary Gorege r. Carter is
thought to be in st. Louis by this
time, having gone there at the request
of F. w. Macfarlane, Hawaiian Com
missioner to the st. Louis Exposition,
His visit is expected to straighten out
the question of whether Hawaii shall
have a building at the fair or not
Before leaving Carter agreed to see
the head of the department of con-
struction at st. Louis and get informa-
ton as to the cost of a building, it's
loca ton in the fair grounds and other
details required for the information of
those in charge of the matter here.
He will also see to the matter of Sc
curing space for Hawaii in one of
the general buildings in the event of
1t being decided that the Territory
shall not erect her own building.
Hawaii is behind the time at st.
Louis at the present stage of the
game. Her preparations are all at
sea, but Macfarlane is at work on
the proposition, and as soon as he
hears particulars from Carter will go
ahead with plans. Others Iare at
work on exhibits and the Territory
Will probably be in shape to hake a
creditable showing.

INDITE ARE MORE INTEREST

Some queer samples of writing are
being sent to the secretary's office
in response to the several hundred let

Registrar auckland is in some doubt
as to whether it should be regarded as
an acceptance or not:

Should BE Kent Alive.

According to statistical tables issued
by opponents Of reciprocity with Cuba,
the beet sugar output of 1901 in the
United States was $4,000 TONS This
showing is good, and the beet growers
may rest assured that the voters of the
country do not wish to injure them,
whatever the Havemeyers may have
done. Reciprocity with Cuba should be
SO arranged as to be of mutual benefit
without injury to American industries
The beet sugar industry has grown ur
under the protective tariff, and ii
should be kept alive. This does not
mean that it's supporters ought to con.

ence to other and graver considera-
tions.-Rochester Democrat and Chron

Like the Countryman In a Fable.

Like the Countryman In a Fable.
One Of the best known of Esop's
fables is told as follows:
"One day a countryman going to the
nest of his goose found there golden
egg, all yellow and glittering. When he
took it up, 1t was as heavy as lead and
he was going to throw it away because
he thought trick had been played
upon him. But he took 1t home on Sec
ond thought and soon found, to his de-
light, that 1t was an egg Of pure gold.
Every morning the same thing occur.
red, and he soon became rich by selling
his eggs. AS he grew rich he grew
greedy, and, thinking to get at once all
the gold the goose could give, he killed
1t and opened 1t only to find nothing"
The Democratic party, which wants
the great industrial enterprises of this
country killed through removal of the
protective tariff, is like the countryman
in the quoted fable. 1t seems to think
that If they were destroyed, somehow
it would be possible to seize and dis
tribute the wealth that is in them. But,
as the goose gave gold only while II
lived so the industries of this country
will produce wealth and add to the gen
eral prosperity only while they are In
operation.-Camden Post-Telegram.

Handicapped by a Solid South.

In contests for the presidency the
Democratic party starts with the solid
south and hopes to pick up votes enough
here and there in other parts Of the
country to give it the control Of the ex-
ecutive. But the trouble with this plan
of campaign is that the spectacle Of the
solid south and the notorious expedi-
ents of fraud and violence which have
been used to make and to keep it solid
have the effect of arraying the other
sections against it. In word, the SOL
i'd west and the practically solid east
must be taken as the nations answer
to the solid south. Every new step
which is taken in the south to suppress
the opposition at the polls, every new
constitutional trick and subterfuge,
''grandfather's clauses" understand
ing clauses" and all the rest, only react
to make the chances of Democratic sue.

PLATFORM OF 1904.
Shall We Stand by Protection or
Lean Toward Free Tradef

Shall We Stand by Protection or
Lean Toward Free Trndet
One of the captains of industry, one
United States, a large employer Of
labor and a man of wide experience
in national and international affairs,
one whose name, were we permitted to
use it, would instantly command at
tention and respect, writes to the
American Economist as follows:
Certain men, and we have such In
the Republican party, seem to think
that the way to retain power is to COM
promise with the enemy. l am one Of
those that don't believe in this, as far
as principles are concerned. The Re-
publican party either believes in pro-
lection or it does not. If it does, it Is
not for us to break 1t down. If it does
not, there is no reason for protection
lists, as such, to sustain the Republican
party. This Is point that some of the
disorganizers want to comprehend. The
fact is that there is danger of losing
than can be gained from the enemy by
such action. If this is not understood
before our next national platform is
framed, l think we shall have an era
of reduced tariff under Democratic
auspices as result, and l should pre-
fer this to damaging reduction un-
der Republican auspices.
To- haf oh
prefer-viZ, a reduction all along the
line rather than destruction of indus
tries by SO called reciprocity or sin
Cling them out for destruction. The
reciprocity platforms Of the Republic.
an party heretofore have not proposed
any injury to American industries, but
l see that the presidents message sug-
gested substantially that if a gain were
to be made for one industry by an in
jury to lesser one it might be all
right. This is dangerous ground"
The national Republican platform of
1904 is soon to be written. Who will
write it, and how shall 1t be written
In the letter above quoted there is food
for thought along these lines. Events
in the session of congress soon to close
and in the Fifty-eighth congress, to as
semble next December, will largely de.
termine the character Of the platform
Of 1904. They will determine whether
the Republican party is to be partly for
protection and partly for free trade or
wholly for protection. Much depends
upon that decision, much more, we i'm
agine, than some people seem to think
at the present time. In the midst of
the many schemes which have for
their animus a relaxation Of the doc
trine, policy and practice of protec-
tion it would be well to pause long
enough to consider what the platform
of 1904 is to be. 1t is grave ques-
ton

Mr.. Carnegie's remarks on the rela-

Mr.. Carnegie's remarks on the rela-
tive values Of the home and foreign
markets were taken as matter Of
course in this country, but were re-
ceived with marked skepticism in Eng
land. The question is taken up in a
late number Of the London Iron and
Coal Trades Review and discussed
from the English point Of view as
modified by knowledge of trade sta
tistics. After calling attention to the
fact that in 1901 we consumed 1891
900 tons Of iron and exported 1,126.0O0
tons the following table is given:
Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1903-02-12
FINISHED IRON AND STEEL.


exports Of both pig iron and finished
material, but the Review combats the
inference that Mr.. Carnegie was wrong
in asserting that foreign trade Is poor
at the best, saying the United States
presents the most notable confirmation
of Mr.. Carnegie's thesis capable of be-
ing cited On the other hand, the
United Kingdom in 1901 received not
less than 100000 tons Of foreign
made material, most Of which, as point
ed out in the case of the United States,
France and Russia, protectionist coun-
tries, would have excluded, thus dis
placing an enormous volume of home
made products. No doubt it was the
American home market "and not one
like our own which is liable to periodic
invasions which threaten to swamp 1t
entirely and to have its price move
ments regulated by the prices Of sur
pluses thus thrown on our hands that
Mr.. Carnegie had in view when he rec
ognized the superior merits of home
markets"
1t is noticeable that the British iron
trade has compared with ours, taking
the average production for two year
periods, as follows:

1900 and 190l. .......... IA, o34 OU 6.33o0O0
The first date, 1S64-65 is selected be-
cause the combined effects Of the
Walker tariff and the civil war then
put us in the lowest relative position
in our history; 1S8S-89 are the two last
years in which the British output ex-
ceeded ours, though in 1894, when
Cleveland's administration was reach
ing for the markets Of the world, we
made less than England. The con-
trast in the two columns above shows
the effect ON production of regulating
markets by the prices of surpluses al
most as wildly as the agricultural his
tory of Great Britain since 1S46.
Speaking Of our foreign trade, the
Review says explicitly, ITO a large
extent 1t was cultivated at consider
. able loss and mainly for the purpose of
enabling the American iron trade to
keep the mills and forges fully en-
ployed," or, in other words, to give
steady employment to these working
forces.
This statement by the Review is of
interest in view Of the large expendi-
lures here during the past ten years to
promote the idea that after an Ameri-
can manufacturer has supplied the
home market any wages paid to an
American mechanic tending to create
surpluses throwable on foreign mar
kcts and thus regulating price move
ments to the advantage Of consumers
in those markets is an outrage, both on
the American mechanic and on those
with whom he spends the money re-
ceived for such work.

PAID S1,OOO CASH.

A lot on Remmel avenue changed hands on Monday in which the public might be bit interested. Mart Dye, the husband of Aunt Caroline Dye, the renowned fortue teller, purchased of S. A. Mosely his residence or the above named street. The coEadera- tion named in the deed is S1,000, and we have it from reliable source that the affair was cash transaction.
 This money represents tribute from the gullible people of Newport and other points far and wide, where stories of the alleged forensic powers of Martha Dye have been told. It is said that she receives as much mail as most any business house of New port.
