UNMERITED CRITICISM.

The lNTELLIeENCER opposed the
nomination of Mr.. Folk as sincerely
as any newspaper in Missouri and as
vigorously as was consistent with
dignity; but it has no sympathy with
those newspapers and politicians who
are continuing the fight upon him
and seeking to embarrasS his admin.

Folk is going to fnd plenty Of trouble
in satisfying the expectation OF his
supporters; and he is going to End,
II he has not already found, that
some Of his supporters are more
treacherous than his enemies He
must have noticed that the Kansas
City Star and the St. Louis Republic
have begun already to prepare the
way for retreat upon the home rule
issue. And be may find it very
difficult before he gets through with
IL to keep his friends and his promises
too. But while the INTELLIeENCER
believes that some of Mr.. Folk IS
avowed campaign principles are
wrong 10 theory aud harmful in

enactment OF these principles into

SHAW'S DRAWBACK PLAN.

Secretary Shaw, who is to be re
garded as the mouthpiece OF the
administration in matters of fiscal
policy, has outlined the notifications
Of the existing tariff laws to which
he, and presumably the president.
will consent. He would maintain
the Dingley rates but would extend
our present system Of drawbacks
so as practically to cover everything
manufactured in this county for
export.
For instance, a large per cent OF
the hides used in this country for
making shoes is obtained from South
America, where until recently cattle
were raised exclusively for hides and
horns. There is an import duty upon
hides which the importer must pay
but he may get an equivalent
drawback" il he sends abroad the
same importation after it has beer
manufactured into shoes But ht
cannot cobslgn his importation Il
another manufacturer with tn,
privilege Of the drawback. Secretar,
Shaw would make this system mucl
more liberal and permit the importe
or the manufacturer to whom al
Importation wal assigned to get th.
drawback upon the exportation Of al
equivalent in any kind Of leathe
goods.

A Tax Bill Decision.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in-thiS city by 10 extrsa,
published 10 the Kansas City Stlrd
Monday, of a decision by the Kansas
City Court Of Appeals upon the effect
Of extension OF time for street paving
upon the validity Of tax bills. The
extract is.aS follows:
1.-The charter requires that public
work should be let by public cOmpe-
tive bidding. When contract limit
lug the time within which work must
be done is competed for by hil1ers
and is awarded 10 the lowest enc, the
bids are made 10 view of The time
within which the work must be to-
iShed. Time is a material aud i'm.
po7tant matter to consider 10 fixing
the cost to be charged for the work
II this time be extended through
favOritism or otherwise 1T is manifest
that there can be no certainty OF a
public letting by fair competition
To allow the power to exteud the
time indefinitely after bids have
been advertised for and received on
the basis Of a fixed time would open
the door to hurtful temptation, TO
fayoritiSm and fraud.
Besides, it IS we'll known to all
who have had an opportunity 10
observe that public work on Tue
streets interferes with the use Of suCn
streets. 1t always obstructS aud ire
Quently suspsDds business entirely
1t is Of the very highest Importance
to the property owner affected thai u
be done as expeditiously as possible
This decision was rendered 10
case in which the contract contalOeu
no clause providing for extension Vi
time for any reason. Few contraCV'
are so drawn. Ia this city the oluiu'
ances under which the contracts Wel'
let contain no time limit, aDd Tue
contracts provide for extensions u
time on account Of bad wea'nsi'
impossibIlity OF getting maVelia'
strikes and other causes, except 'H'
South street contract.
The really troublesome part Of Vu'
decision is that requiring thaV 'n'
specifications must be filed at the ''u'
the ordinance is passed ordering Ou'
work done. This makes necessaf!
lot Of time consuming and expensive
work before it is known whether Wv
ordinance will pass or fail.

importation with the drawback
privilege. But the drawback does
not apply in cas the tin buckets or
cans or whatever it is are filed with
preserves, meat, lard, butter or any
thing for expectation. Secretary
Shaw would do away with all these
restrictions, keeping the protective
rates intact, he says, in the interest
Of the American laborer. The pro-
found and touching interest which
every protectionist feels 10 the
American labOrer Is an affectiTg
spectacle and is only equaled by
his concern for the interests OF the
foreign consumer and his contempt
for. the American consumer. Pro-
t~ectionists used to say that the
foreigner paid the tariff tax. But SC
tender has the modern portectiohist
become toward the foreigner that he
is unwilling for him ven to bear the
weight Of the import duties upon
raw material, The kind hearted
protectionist in the b~enevolence Of
his nature revoltS at the thought Of
permitting foreigners to pay as much
for anything as Americans have tC

The American consular reports
afford most interesting reading to the
business nan and the student Of
politics. For instance the October
report contains a gloomy paper by
one Of our consuls in Canada on the
outlook Of the lumber trade there.
He says that very little timber Will
be cut this winter: that the market
is overstocEed and the prices very
low; that wages Ia the camps have
been reduced $40 per month and that
schooner freights have been reduced
almost to nothing to encourage the
lumbermen. Yet the people Of the
states continue to keep out Canadian
lumber by a prohibitlve tariff duty:
encourage the destruction Of American
forests and the disturbance of the
seasons; pay two or three prices fol
all kinds of building materlal-and
all just to please the American mil
men,
