tween Norway and Sweden.
Washington, Sept 19.-Reliable in
formation has reached the department
of state that in a few days Sweden
and Norway are expected to report an
amicable settlement and adjust their
differences in peaceable way. The
consideration and settlement of de-
tails has caused delay.
Norway May Object.
Karlstad, Sept. 19.-The Norwegian
and Swedish delegates sat in confer
ence yesterday from noon until 2
o'clock and from until Z, when they
adjourned until to-day.
The question Of Notifications is still
being discussed and some unforeseen
difficulties have appeared. 1t is ex-
pected that the discussion will be
concluded Wednesday and the prelim-
mary result will then be submitted to
the riksdag and the storthing.
The riksdags approval of the re-
suits of the negotiations is sure, but
that of the storthing is doubtful, espe-
cially if the Norwegian delegates yield
on the questions concerning the forts.

fering to allow the stipulation regard,

Sinca then, the correspondent says,
details sregarding this question Of de-
molishing the fortresses have been
under discussion, but the situation Is
now clear and there. is every hope
that it; will have a rapid and satisfied
tory solution.
Probably Monarchy.

ment from Fritjof Nansen that the
fortresses of Kongsvinger and Fred
Kristen will retain their modern
works. the other new fortresses being
demolished.
The explorer adds that "Norway's
future government will be decided by

monarchy"
Prof. Harald Hjarne, a member of
the Swedish riksdag, admitted to the

sented to the retention of the new
parts of the old forts. He added that
Sweden would probably construct
forts outside the zone of neutrality op-

Protective Tariff Something for the

holding.

What are we unable to understand
is that among patriotic citizens there
should be any difference of opinion.
The protective tariff idea should be a
part Of the national political religion
and not matter for bitter party ar
raignment. In fact, says the Portland
(Me.) Press, when in tariff revision the
duty upon the product of any particu-
lar religion Is threatened with reduc-
ton, such as tobacco and semi tropi-
cal fruits, for instance, democrats of
the regions where these products are
raised come to congressional commit
tees as fiercely combative for the high
er tariff as the republicans, although
In the following national campaign

One stock argument of revis!onists
is that manufacturers and other pro-
tected interests sell to foreign buyers
at lower figure than to their domes-
tic patrons. When that happens 1t is
entirely exceptional, has no relation to
the regular trade. and is usually an ex-
pedient to get rid of a surplus or to
keep mills in operation when there is
a lack of domestic orders, and thus af-
ford continuous work for employees.
Such transactions have not the least
bearing upon the great central cues

These assertions are so sweeping and
uncompromising that they may well
challenge attention on the part Of all
who would acquaint themselves with
the economic history ofthe country and
the desirability or undesirability OF
tariff revision. They are sustained by
such an array of testimonya as to give
them strong support. 1t will be well to
take the evidence into consideration be-
fore deciding to tear down the solid
fabric of protection which has given
American industry prosperity such as is
enjoyed by no other nation.
