Discounts for Export Trade.

The practice Of granting discounts
on the goods sold for export is the
basis for much of the agitation for
reduction of the Tariff. For exam
pie, the soul of Governor Cummins
bolls with virtuous indignation at
the contemplation of so foul crime
as that which is involved in selling
surplus products to foreigners at a
lower price than that which domes'
tic consumers are required to pay.
The souls of Senator Dolliver, Di-
rector of the Mint Roberts, and
other watch dogs of the Tariff boil
similarly and for similar cause.
They cannot tolerate the thought
of building up foreign trade by such
means, and they propose to stop the
thing by tearing open the Tariff
schedules and introducing what
Governor Cummins calls "poten
tial foreign competition" Con
gresham Tawney also exhibits some
perturbation at the thought that some
portion-about per cent.-of our
domestic production finds its way to
foreign buyers at slightly cut prices,
and he proposes Congressional
Commission to inquire into the mat
ter with a view to arriving at some
method-Tariff reduction, of course
whereby American mills and fac
tories will be forced to shut down
when the limit of domestic consump
ton shall have been reached. In.
cidental to this plan it is proposed
10 lower the Tariff bars so that it
will be much easier for foreign pro-
ducers to work off their surplus on
the American market at cut prices
and thereby diminish American pro-
iuction, employment and wages.
Great heads these Republican re-
formers have.
The practice of price cutting to
foreign customers is universal. 1t
obtains to a very limited extent in
the United States, where Protection
prosperity has created a demand
that absorbs all our industrial pro-
iuction as fast as it can be turned
out. 1t obtains much more in foreign
countries. All over Europe goods

REVIVING YOUNG TREES.
A Hint from Australia Which Might
Be Tried with Success in the
United States.

When young trees have been out
Of the ground a few days, either in
transit from the nursery or other
wise, and not properly cared for, the
bark becomes s%hrunken; and, al
though the roots may be in tolerably
good condition, there is great danger
that the tree may die after it is
planted. This may be prevented by
burying the trees wholly for a few
days. To do this, dig "a trench as
wide as the tree is high, and about
eight inches deep at one end and is
inches deep at the other, and long
enough to hold all the trees to be
buried, when laid in the trench, five
or six trees on the top Of one an
other. Place the trees in the trench
with the roots at the deep end Of
it, laying them straight and packing
them closely together. But do not
pile them up above the level of the
ground. Now cover the trees, tops
and roots with ~ inchs to Is inches
of earth. If the ground be very dry,
a few buckets of water should be
slowly sprinkled over the soil after
the trees are buried. In four or
five days they must be taken out, and
t~ransplanted Immediately; care be.
ing taken to cut back the tops. We
have known trees thus buried when
taken from the pit to look as fresh
as when dug at the nursery.-Aus.
