place in the way in which their teachings are
regarded. He quotes Cardinal Gibbons as hold

Speaking for himself Mr.. Wright adds: Genesis

DOGS AND THE DOG TAX.

A suggestion comes from Albany that a
license tax of at least 50 shall be imposed on
each dog within the State 1t is intended that
go to the local authorities and the remaining
half to the State Department Of Agriculture to
meet the expenses Of its work 1t is estimated
that there are now half million dogs within
the Empire State, and that If 4 million dollars
could be raised annually by taxation of this sort
the money would be wisely spent. But 1t must
be borne in mind that a two-dollar impost would
hardly result in a revenue of a million dollars
to the State treasury If that amount could
be obtained every twelve months for the work
OF the department, undoubtedly much public
benefit would be secured. 1t is certain, how
ever that III many counties there would soon
be a striking falling off in the number of dogs
and consequently serious loss of revenue

ANOTHER "OUTRAGE."

The Bureau Of Statistics OF the Department of
Commerce and Labor has just issued bulletin
which the true free trader will probably de-
nounce as another outrage on the eternal
verities" of Cobdenism. II is one Of the basic
theories of the Cobdenites that so long we
maintain a high protective tariff we cannot
hope to build up an export trade, or, If we do
by chance find foreign market for our sur
plus raw materials, we cannot hope to sell
abroad even the smallest percentage Of
manufactured products. This assertion has
been repeated so often that not few OF the
Cobdenite economists have come to believe 1t;
and it naturally figured during the Presiden-
tial campaign among the wonderful discoveries
in political science made by or for the DemU
cratic candidate for President. In one of his
speeches Judge Parker lamented the fact that
under the Dingley law we could never have
genuine foreign market. and he pathetcaly
urged cut In tariff rates as the first step
toward building up an export trade In manu-
factures.
With these idealists OF course. facts count for
nothing. They will continue to cling to their
theories in spite Of the pernicious tabulattons
issued by the Federal Bureau Of Statistics. IL
is nothing to them that under the Dlngley Jaw
the foreign trade Of the United States has
actually expanded from total value Of $SS2,
5000 in 1896 to total value OF 81. AGO, $780,
600 in 1904 1t is nothing TO them that as an
exporter the United States now leads every
other nation in the world, or that for the fiscal
year 10000 the total value of our imports
and exports rose to 81, ,451, ,574 OVo-the largest
figure ever recorded for American foreign COM
merce
Holding that We have now 10 foreign market
worth speaking Of, and that our export trade in
manufactures cannot be established under pro-
lection, our Cobdenite friends will probably
dismiss as impossible. because Illogical" the
exhibit made in this latest bulletin from Wash
ington of the steadily expanding sale abroad
of American manufactures. For the calendar
year 1S97-the year in which the Dingley law
became operative-our exports in manufactures
reached the value Of S2T9 100000. For the cal
endar year 1904, with figures for December
estimated, the total will reach and probably
exceed S5O0,OOO,0O0. In seven years, under the
Sitting" Dingley law, American manufactures
sent abroad have nearly doubled in value. They
show an expansion of so per cent-an even
higher rate than that shown for exports Of all
classes. Phenomenal as this growth has been.
our Cobdenite friends will probably refuse to
be impressed by it. They will go on repeating
their stale contentious about the "impossibility"
of building up an export trade in manufactures
under the protective system, and supporting
them with facts drawn from the convenient
arsenal Of "inner consciousness
