WASHINGTON, Dot. 20.--JcHpes II. Dumont
and Thomas H. Barrett. local inspectors
at chs port Of New York, wsro to-day re-
moved from the steamboat inspection SER
Woe by order Of Secretary Metcalf Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor. The
order Of dismissal wss accompanied by tho
announcement that the vacancies thus
created have been filed by the appointment
Of Capt. Henry N. Seeley, now inspector
Of hulls In Boston, who will take Gen.
Dmnonts place, and Theodore @. NJ. Mer-
sereau. now asshstant inspector OF hulls
! In New York. who willlsucoeed Barrett
This il theeseoond step taken by the Ad-
\ ministration In following the report Of the
Slooum commission. When Robert s. Rode
was removed as supervising inspector
early in the week, Messrs. Durnont and
Barrett, who were In the classified service,
were called upon to show cause why they
should not be dismissed Their answers
were received to-day. All that Secretary
Mstcah could be induced to say on the SUBJ
\ jeot was that the replies were unsatisfac.
tory.
The dismissal Of Dumont and Barrett
was practically decided upon when the
Slocum report was placed In the hands Of
the President. The action Of Secretary
Metcaf in calling upon the inspectors to
show cause was merely pc rfunctory. but
It was necessary under the civil service
| rule which requires that classified en-
ployees shall not be removed without hav-
ing opportunity to answer charges that may
be made against them.
The officers OF the Department say that
! everything has now been done within the
power OF the Federal authorities to punish
those who were responsible for the Slocum
disaster. The inquiry Of the Government
was to ascertain how much the neglect
Of Federal officers had to do indirectly
| with the disaster. Rode. Dumont and
| Barrett are now out Of office. Whether
the axe will fall in Their quarters cannot
be learned. The next step Of the Depart
| ment Of Commerce will be to draft bill
! which will be submitted to Congress, con-
tanning drastic provisions relative to the
installation Of safety appliances in steam
| vessels.

Enacted Tariff Law.

We have enacted a tariff law under which during the past few years the country has attained a height of ma terial well-being never before reached. Wages are higher than ever before. That whenever the need arises there should be readjustment of the tariff sched- ules is undoubted; but such changes can with safety be made only by those whose devotion to the principle of a protective tariff Is beyond question; for otherwise the changes would amount not to read justment but to repeal. The readjust- ment when made must maintain and not destroy the protective principle. To the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer this Is vital; but perhaps no other man Is so much interested as the wage worker in the maintenance of our present eco- homie system, both as regards the finances and the tariff. The standard of living of our workers is higher than that of any other country, and 1t cannot so remain unless we have a pro- tective tariff which shall always keep as a minimum a rate of duty sufficient to cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. Those who, like our opponents, "denounce protection as robbery" thereby explicitly commit themselves to the proposition that if they were to revise the tariff no heed would be paid to the necessity of meeting this difference between the standards of liv Ing for wage-workers here and in other countries; and therefore on this point their antagonsm 10 our position is fun damental. Here again we ask that their promises and our be adjudged by what has been done In the immediate past. We ask that sober and sensible men com pare the workings of the present tariff law, and the conditions which obtain un- der 1t, with the workings of the pre- ceding tariff law of 1894 and the conditions which that tariff of 1894 helped to bring a about
