PREPARING THE PROTOCOLS.
viii Raise the blockade of Ia
Venexuelan Ports.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The represen-
:atives of the allies here are busily
engaged in the preparation of the
protocol which they are to sign with
Mr.. Bowen, Nenezuela's representa-
i've. for the reference to The Hague
Of the question whether the blockad-
ng powers shall be entitled TO prefer
entail treatment in the settlement OF
their claims. The blockade will be
raised when the protocols + signed.
They are in constant communication
with their governments on this sub
ject, and are anxious as far as posi-.
BILE to cover every detail which should
De comprised in an instrument of this
character. Mr.. Bowen also is anxious
that the protocols shall be identical
so far as this may be practicable, and
he is directing his efforts to that end
and also that they shall be signed on
The same day.
Minister Bowen continues optimis-
tic of an early settlement and speedy
raising of the blockade. He is hope

lens may intervene now that the mat
ter has progressed so far, and that it
will not be long before the whole

THE TARIFF THEORY.
Danger of the Great Protective Idea
Becoming Too Well Ven-
tilated.

The drawback clause of the tariff
law allows a refund of duties to any
body who %reexports an imported ar
ticle either in the original or in a diff
ferent shape. Thus. if tin plate is i'm
ported and then exported in the forms
of cans containing oil, or salmon, or
condensed milk, II what not, the
duties on the tin plate will be refund
ed, provided the exporter Identifies
the material as the same on which
duty was paid. 1t is not easy, however,
to identify the material. So much
trouble and delay are involved in the
process that in many cases it costs
more than it m to. So Mr.. Lover
ing, of Massachusetts, has introduced
a bill in congress to dispense with
Identification altogether. Under this
bill American-made tin plate, when
exported, would be entitled to the re-
bate. the same as though it had been
imported and duties had been paid.
The theory of the blessed tariff, says
the New York Post, is that it merely
covers the difference in wages between
the cost of the imported and the do
nestle article. If that is the truth,
the domestic producer and the foreign
producer stand on the same footing
in the American market. Why should
the user of the foreign article have an
advantage in the export trade? That
is what Mr.. Lowering would like to
know. But we should like to know
how the case stands when the duty on
the foreign article is 1000 per cent,
as in the case of mica, Is the govern
ment to refund to the user of domestic
mica it's value 40 times over when it
is exported as a part of some other
manufacture? Will not Mr.. Lover
ing's bill put our blessed tariff into too
glazing a light and expose it to dam
gers not now dreamed of?

AMERICAN M~ILLIONAIRES..
In which They Got Their linz
mense Wealth.

1t is reported from New York that
for the past year the income OF Mr..
Pierpont Morgan has amounted to
$40,0 00, 900 and that it is considerably
less than he expected. If he hoped to
stand first in the list he certainly has
some reason for disappointment, for it
is reported that Mr.. Rockefeller has
during the year added from $1,000 0 900
to $110,O0 900 to his fortune. He is
obliging enough to say that he cannot
be certain of any figure within $10,-
100000. AT any rate, whatever be the
exact truth, the-we will not say the
profits, but t~he-gains, or perhaps
'swag," got by these millionaires must
have been immense, saws the London
News of recent date.
BY what means have these men come
by their countless millions? Have
these men added much, or added al all,
to the wealth of the world? Is their
personal contribution to the welfare of
industry in Observation-Disclosures
monetary gains? Wealth is made only
and exclusively by labor, either of the
hand or of the mind, so employed as
to increase the power of muscular Ia.
Dor. or what are called labor-saving
appliances. During the past year
what has Mr.. Rockefeller done in this
way to augment mans power of ere
ating wealth out of the new materials
of nature? That by merely investing
capital a capitalist finds work anu
wages for others we know; that he Is
rightfully entitled to profits is freely
admitted. But has Mr.. Rockefeller's
increase of income to the extent Of
$780, 900, 900 been made in this way?
Certainly not.
Then again, the man who invented
double and triple expansion contrib.
uted infinitely more,t o the wealth and
welfare of mankind than Mr.. Pierpont
Morgan has done by all his shipping
combines. Mr.. Pierpont Morgan has
contributed nothing. Yet he secures
a lot of money. Nor has he contrib
uted by the ordinary method of in
vestment. Then how is it all done?
Simply by contrivances, very clever,
very far-seeing, on the part of these
men to draw to themselves a huge pro-
portion of the wealth w~hich,other men
produce either by their labor or by
their capital directly employed.
All political economy, ever that
which is in other respects unsound, is
founded on the principle that capital
is only useful to the world when en-
ployed fairly and squarely in produc-
ing wealth. But now we have schemes
for the amazing accumulation of riches
by a few favorably circumstanced in
dividuals by methods quite different
methods which are not, SO far, legally
dishonest, and which do not go through
the meshes of the law, but go lodging
round the ends of the net. Cannot the
net be made longer? 1t will be by
and by, but probably not until there
has ome an industrial disaster great.

A DISTURBING FACTOR.
Order For the Mobilization OF 24oI
o Turkish Troops Regarded
With Apprehension.

Paris, Feb. S.-Oficial advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that the sultan of Turkey has
ordered the immediate mobilization
of 100000 troops for a military dem
onstration in Macedonia. The steps
taken are regarded with a%pprehen'
sion by the French officials as being
likely to involve complications be-
tween Turkey and Russia and Aus
tria. 1t is said that the Russian and
Austrian governments have agreed on
a firm note to the sultan, which will
be presented within the next few
DAYS, insisting on administrative and
official reforms in Macedonia. Al
though France will not be a party to
the note, she will approve of it. 1t Is
considered that the sultan's mobiliZa-
ton of such an army is clearly an eff
fort to forestall the presentation OF
this note. The mobilization of so
many troops is regarded here as UNI
wise and dangerous, especially as II
is said that the soldiers who are to be
brought into Macedonia from Asiatic
Turkey are semi-barbarous levies
and are hostile to Christians, which
will tend to inaugurate another series
of massacres. 1t is understood the
powers are exchanging views as to
the course to be pursued towards the
mobilization of Turkish troops.

The SUGAR TRUST MYSTERY.
One Direction in Which the Miracle
Working Tariff seems to he
Mt Fault.

What is the matter with the sugar
trust? The other day when the 5000
employees in the Havemeyer sugar re-
fincry in Williamsburg-the largest
of the trusts plants-called at the
cashiers window for their pay they
were b%luntly told that the works were
closed indefinitely.
There was no w~arning-not a hint
had been dropped that any such thing
was in contemplation, says the Chi
cage Chronicle. What does it mean?
Is the market overstocked? Is it nee
essary to curtail production in order
to maintain trust prices? If so the
facts must have been known to the
trust officials for a considerable time,
and there was opportunity enough to
give warning to the employees.
The attorneys for the protectees do
not forget to remind us every day that
the protective system is all for the
benefit of those who work for wages.
That it makes wages high, keeps them
high and gives workers plenty to do
is their continually reiterated asser-
ton. 1t makes the industries pros
porous. 1t makes prices high and
it makes everybody able to pay the
high prices and buy more than he
wants.
But somehow it generally happens
that whenever trouble m it comes
in some protected industry. Now it
is the sugar industry, which is protect
ed to the extent of Is per cent. or more
of the value of untaXed sugar. 1t is
mysterious.
No government action is threatened
which can hurt the refining interest.
The only pending measure is a treaty
reducing the duty on raw sugar from
Cuba 20 per cent. 1t is by no means
certain that this treaty will be rati-
fed. But If it should be the pos
sible effect upon the Havemeyer trust
would be to enable it to get it's raw
material that much cheaper without
in the least diminishing its protection
on the refined article which it sells.
1t is instructive to note that those
who attribute all our prosperity to the
miracle working tariff never have any
explanation to offer of these strange
freaks of their prosperous tariff-shel-
tered trusts.

GREAT BRITAIN ALARMED
This Time 1t Is AbOut the source Oh
Her Food supply in the Event
of II War.

London, Feb. 9.-An influential COM
mittee headed by the duke of Suther-
and, Lord Strathcona, Lord Charles
Beresford and a number of members
Of parliament, admirals and other
prominent men, which was formed
February 1 to agitate the question OF
the security of Great Britain's food
supply in time of war, issued a state
ment, Sunday, in which the opinion
is expressed that in the event OF
Great Britain becoming involved in a
European war the country must be
prepared to see bread at practically
famine prices.
Various reasons are given as a basis
of this opinion. The chief reasons are
that much the greatest source of
Great Britain's food supply is the
United States, where the price of
wheat can be raised artificially, and
that the corn trade ON both sides OF
the Atlantic would expect to make
profits on a scale commensurate with
the war risks.

BowEN's W QUESTIONED.
Assertion Made That the Powers
Conferred on Minister Bowen
Are Unconstitutional.

Paris, Feb. THE correspondent
of the Matin at Caracas telegraphs
that a pamphlet is being circulated
in that city in which it is sserted
that the powers conferred on Min
lister Bowen by President Castro are
null, because of an article in the
Venezuelan constitution providing
that a representative of Venezuela in
such cases must have an authorize
ton in order to serve the republic,
and the pamphlet points out that
Minister Bowen has no such authori-
zation. Moreover, according to the
pamphlet, any convention he may ne

firmed by the Venezuelan congress.
