But 1t did more. 1t caused the pur.

That makes a grand total Of Sl6,SoO
clear gain to the manufacturer, the
seller Of raw material and the work
ingmen because the American manu-
facturer had sufficient enterprise to
enter the export trade. 1t did not
hurt the consumer, for the manufac-
turer would have sold his manufac'
tured article at home at no lower rate
if he had confined himself to the DO
nestle trade,
Who suffered? Not the American
consumer; not the American manufac'
turer; not the American seller Oh raw
material; not the American working
man; but the British manufacturer
whose goods must come into competi-
ton with the products OF the enter
prising manufacturer.
Is it surprising, then, that there ID
a profound agitation in Great Britain
for q tariff wall which will prevent
this dumping" Of American and otn.
er foreign products in Great Britain!
Is it not astonishing that intelligent
men should advocate the breaking
down Of the American tariff wall'to

products in vastly increased quanti-
test does not yet appear that our
importers pay any more for them than
they used to-and the Cubans are
spending their money in Europe. Min
lister Squiers has just forwarded the
figures of imports into Cuba for the
first quarter of 1904, which, when com
pared with the corresponding quarter
of 1903, show that our exports to
Cuba have increased by 3 per cent,
while Cuban imports from England,
Germany, Spain and France have IN
creased by 20, 81, IS and 5 per cent
respectively. 1t is evident that the
trade was bad for us, as disconraging
the home production Of sugar, and
bad for Cuba, as discouraglng the
home production Of the various prod
ucts upon which the Cuban duties
were reduced, and that the sole real
benefciaries are the people Of Euro
pean countries, the Sugar trust peo'
pie and their friends who own planta-
tions in Cuba and are in position
to do their own importing and REIN
ing, and the Sugar trust itself, which
can buy cheaply from embarrassed
Cuban planters and reap the full ben
eft Of the reduction Of our tariff in
the alleged interest Of reciprocity"
Happily, we are not likely to have
any more such nonsense. The Repub-
lican party, after due deliberation, is
now squarely committed to such re
ctprocity" only as can be got "consls'
tent with the principles Of protection
and without injury to American agri
culture, American labor or any Amer
lean industry"-which Is a very awk
ward way of saying no reciprocity al
all-while the Democracy stands
pledged to any and all reciprocity
with anybody, so only that protection
can be beaten down in detail. Since
the Democrats have not the ghost o
chance of success, we may regar'
the reciprocity humbug as finally dis
posed of.-San Francisco Chronicle.

In the, fiscal year 1904 the United
States exported manufactured goods
worth $452,445,629. This breaks all
previous records. It exceeds the bar
ner year of 1900 by $lS,59S,S7S. 1t is

tariff tinkering was paralyzing Ameri-

1t Is an increase Of 1924 per cent,
Even in view Of such a record, the
Democrats, declaring that protection
is a robbery" would restore the disaS-
tious conditions Of 1894, In order to
persuade the nation to intrust Its In
dustries to their unskilful hands, they
declare that the foreigner can pur-
chase articles of American manufac'
ture more cheaply than the people Of
this country. They would impress the
american consumer with the idea
that he is paying exorbitant prices
Concessions in price to capture for.
eign trade are nothing new. They
characterize all export trade. Every
exporting nation cuts prices in order
to compete with rivals. In the United
States itself articles often sell more
cheaply at points distant than they do
at the place Of manufacture. Many in
stances Of this could be furnished. II
they are not sold lower, there is
usually no increase in prices at points
distant to meet freight charges. Con-
cessions in price are necessary to cul-
tivate domestic trade, and they are
equally necessary 10 gain foreign

The question Is whether the Ameri.

duced by the failure Of our manufac'
turers to make the necessary price
reductions to gain foreign trade. II
we are not to meet our competitors

The Difference.

The Republican party does not
claim that our tariff is perfect for all
time. It says in Its platform that 1t
will make such changes as are shown
to be expedient from time to time.
But Democracy says that the PRO
lection Is robbery"
That is the difference between the
two. One stands for business sense,
the other for a closet theory.
The American people are, on thf
whole, sensible business men. They
will govern themselves accordingly

in wages paid, in material bought and
in the purchasing power of wage earn
ers and capitalists alike.
There are four items in the cost
price of a manufactured article:
(a) Interest and allowance for de-
probation in cost of plant.
(b) Taxes, salaries, rent and other
factory expenses, exclusive of raw ma
terial and wages.
(c) Cost of raw material.
(d) Wages Of workingmen.
In an article costing 96 cents to
manufacture, these expenses will be
divided about as follows: (a), ~
cents; (b), u cents; (c), AZ cents
and (d), "a cents. The greater the
output the lower the allowance that
| must be made for (a) and (b), which
are practically the same whether
the factory be running at Its full or
at half capacity. If the factory's ca
pacity is 100000, and it can sell $4,000
| articles in the United States, the cost
of production of those $4,000 articles
will be $82,SOO, divided as follows;

In order to make very reasonable
profit, the article costing 96 cents
must sell at $1.O6, At that price the
income from the sale of an output Of
10000 pieces would be $4,000, leaving
a profit to the manufacturer OF $4,000.
The same article is manufactured in
Great Britain, for instance, at a cost
of 80 cents, thanks to the lower
wages that there prevail. The Amerl-

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Spartanburg, Oct. 31.-A. O..
Mahaffey, young white man en-
ployed by the Standard Oil COM
pany, net horrible death today
at noon at Pacolet, while hauling
a supply of oil to the store of the
Pacolet Manufacturing company.
He was driving heavy wagon
hauled by three mules and there
was a good load on the wagon. In
the road leading from the station
to the store just before reaching
the latter point, there is steep
hill. In going down this incline
the brakes when applied would
not hold back the load, and began
going faster..and faster. Mr.. Ma
haffey was thrown from his seat
forward and landed on the tongue
of the wagon, between two of the
mules. He remained in this pos
sition for short time, but in
passing little ditch in the road
the jostle knocked the man to the
ground and the wheels of the
wagon passed over his chest and
crushed him to death.
