THE TARIFF PROBLEM.

The policy of Mr. Chmber!ain of
England whereby he proposes to put a
tariff upon all imports into the en-
rire. with preference to English col
onies, has produced sudden stiffness
among the projections tof our country
and is likely to revolutionize the
economic system of the whole world
Mr. Chamberlain carries out his pol
icy, the tariff barons and trust "grat-
ers'' of the United States are doomed.
Our present tariff has produced all
kinds Of evil in the county, but per-
haps the worst feature OF it is to ena-
BILE the manufactures to sell their
products in foreign lands cheaper than
they are sold at home. This has been
done at the expense of the Taxpayers
of the United States. and through this
system, mainly, our export trade has
been increased in foreign countries.
especially England.
1t is claimed that high tariff made
goods of this country are sold in COM
petion with English products and ev-
en- at less price than Englishmade
goods can he bought at home, while
the same brand of these goods import
ed into this country must pay a tariff
duty so high ms to stifle trade. This
condition has induced Mr.. Chamber
lain to resort to retaliatory measures,
as Germany has done before. and by
putting tariff tax on American ex-
ports with one blow strike down our
boasted foreign trade so far as England
is concerned.
This movement has already struck
terror to the tariff barons of this
country, who have absorbed the
wealth of the nation through the pol
icy of special privileges to the few at
the expense of the many. Committees
are being sent to England to prevent
Mr.. Chamberlain plan becoming a
success.
1t is extremely doubtful if England
will be induced to retu urn to potec-
tive policy; but if she does it will be
in the spirit of retaliation against tho
greed of Amer can trust manufact-
urers who have wrang from the peo-
pie of this country, under the protec-
tive policy of the Republican party,
untold millions to enable them to sell
to foreigners cheaper than to Ameri-
can consumers
No wonder the Republican party
and press are silent on the subject of
what will become of protect ion in this
country if England should tax our ex-
port trade. And it may be predicted
with surety of realization that
should Mr.. Chamberlain fail at the
coming contest. it will prove but
solidifying of forces for victory not
far ahead.
Ultimately England must in pure
self defense put up the bars to the
unlicensed entrance of American goods.
Then the delusion of our own false
protective system, fostered by the Re
publican party and its millionaire re-
neficiaries, will become patent even to
the blindest Republicans.

The name of the Hon, E. O. Slim
son, late nominee of the Democratic
party of this state for governor. is
again being mentioned in connection
with the same place. Judge Stimson
is an admirable man we'll qualified
for the place, and it is indeed unfor-
t inate for Colorado that he is not gov
ernor now instead of the ill balanced
individual who now occupies the seat.
Whether the full strength of the Dem
ocratlc party could be concentrated
upon Judge Stimson, in view of his
defeat and the manner of his previous
nomination, is doubtful question.
Fractional methods were largely in
strumental in Democratic apathy in
the last campaign and the party can
not afford another dose from the same

Through a
Frozen Sea.

Toxic March 11.-Vice Ad-
miral Kumiura' report of
the bombardment of Vladi-
vostok on March 6 says that
the Japanese feet entered
the east harbor ON the morn
ing through a frozen sea
and started to BON bard the
town with the hopes that the
Russian cruisers would come
out. The enemy's vessels
were never seen, and at 3 p.
M, the Japanese fleet re-
tired. BE is OF the opinion
that considerable damage
was done. Black smoke was
seen arising in the east har-
Dor. and from this it was
thou ght that several build
ings had caught fire a num-
ber of soldiers We're seen.
The Russians did not fire "A
shot. On the following
morning the fleet went to
Strelot bay, but nothing
could be seen of the enemy

Mr.. Kruger has never lost a grain
of the b tterness stirred in him by the
daring raid led bv DR.. Jameson into
the Transvaal during the early 90s.
Among lis close friends he has always
maintained that he made grave error
in dealing too leniently with Jameson
and John Hays Hammond, the latter
of whom also figured prominentlyin the
raid. He thinks he should have hang
ed them both. Mr. Kruger has always
regarded them as the arch conspirators
under Cecil Rhodes. and says that in
any other country in the world they
would have paid the penalty with
their lives.
So nersistent were the rumors that
Mr.. Kruger was in a critical condition
that DR.. Heymans. one of his physic-
ians. who visits him daily, sent out a
formal denial. He announced that
Mr.. Kruger was still in good health
and that he was able to stroll about
in his garden as usual.
To substantiate this denial of the
reports DR.. Heymans said that any one
who would take the trouble to walk
past Mr.. Kruger's house during the
afternoon would see him walking in
his garden.

Prnnence nf Mind.

Senator Dubois of Idaho during the days when he was practicing law in Boise City was on certain occasion sternly reprimanded by the Judge of court in that city because of alleged contempt of court and in addition was fined in the sum of $50. says The Satur- day Evening Post.
 The next day according to a custom followed in the Idaho courts. the judge called upon Mir. Dubois to occupy the bench for him during the transaction of some comparatively unimportant business. After the judges departure from the courtroom Mir Dubois exhib- tied an instance of that remarkable presence of mind for which he has ever been noted. The future Senator said to the clerk of the court:
 Turning to the record of this court for yesterday, Mir. Clerk. you will ob- serve recorded a fine of $50 against one Frederick T. Dubois. You will kindly make note to the effect that such fine has been remitted by the order of the court"

WE'LL CONTROLLED REACTION THE

Lifting of Various Special stoeks as . Cover to the Realizing s--Irfegu-

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.--A we'll controlled reaction was the result of today's stock market, due to the selling to take profits on the rise.

The market was kept irregular rather than weak in on sentiment was not SO effective as yss- terday and there was more disposition manifest to look for reaction. The action of yesterdays late trsding was predtspos- ing cause to this view. The result was a general conviction this morning that very extensive distribution of holdings had been effected from the strong speculative hands which has fostered the growth of the pres ent bull market to the weaker hands of the new class of buyers who have been attracted by the latter stages of the advance. The consequence was a more spotted market and decline in speculative enthusiasmI ahe dealings fell Into a condition of decided duliness at various times during the day and the rush to buy which carries prices com prehensiveIy upwsrd was not in evidence at any time during the day.

VIRGIN & FAUNCE's COTTON LETTER. (By Private Wire from J. Walter Labaree
 A

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-The cotton market opened quiet and practically unchanged, al- though the price of both spots and futures were lower in Liverpool The heavy rain reported in Cuba served to check any bear fish operations. as it was feared that a tropical storm might extend northward into the cotton belt and do serious damage to the crop Prices eased off slightly after the opening, but strengthened on covering later. The trading in the morning was un- interesting and wholly professional The short interest In the market has again be- come very large and gives signs of bccom- ing topheavy. We think that the short in- terest Is being encouraged to sell the mar ket and that the large operators are getting the bears in position to give them a twist fin the near future. We consider the short side a dangerous one to be on under present conditions and advise the cov- ering of short contracts and a long position on the market taken at once.

NEW ORLEANS Oct. Is.-Spot cotton firm Most Of the factors are holding for outside figures. Sales. $500, including 4.s00 4o arrive The improvement in futures gave strength to spots. Quotations 1-16c higher. E
 Futures opened steady with prices from points down to points up. compared with last evenings close The market was more active than 1t has been for some days. The scalpers operated freely as prices fluc- tuated rapidly with fairly wide limits. The outside public also took part in the trad ing. while the operations of the big bulls and bears kept the ring guessing as to what would be the outcome of the session. The chief feature of the day was the pre- diction in the weather forecast that the temperature would fall to 32 degrees tomor- TOW in north Texas and in the western DOT tions of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. This scared the shorts and gave the bulls new courage. with the result that prices were sent up about 20 points from the low est levels of the early hours. When the demand of shorts had been supplied prices eased off 5@S points.
 In the trading December opened up 3 points at S.7s. declined to 9 .es, sold up tc e-9o and finally receded to 9.ss. The mar ket closed steady with net gains of I1dl5 points.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
FAIR NET GAIN IS SHOWN AT THE
 CLOSE.
New York Business Seems to Re of Fro fessional Character, but sprinkling of Orders Comes Through
 Wire Houses.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-The cotton market opened rather better than due on cables at an advance of points and after some irreguiarity fruled active and generally fair, closing at fair net gain for the day
 The advance was due chiefly to cover- Ing and support from some large speculative Interests on the prospect for rain in the western belt, while buying was also en- couraged to somo extent by reports of better spot situation in the South owing to lighter offerings and a somewhat increased demand at the recent decline. Business here seemed to be of professional char acfer, but there was a fair sprinkling of orders through wire and commission houses, largely from the South. making 1t appear that the outlook for frost in Texas was bringing in little public demand A 1eading Southern operator was good buyer here early in the day, but seemed to be selling at the advance. Just before the close there more general selling with smaller longs taking profits Ar the best point the market was about 17@20 points net higher.
 { The close was steady at a net gain of 10 @l5 points. Sales estimated at 350,o00 bales.
