"Dumpins" in Tariff Revision.

For whatever merit there may be In
his cause, it is to be hoped that the
arsenal from which Mr.. JOHN SHARP
WILLIAMS draws his ammunition CON-
tains better material for reducing the
height Of tariff walls than sophisms
about cut prices on exported merchan-
disc. To q nan up a tree 1t would ap-
pear that the tools needed for tariff wall
reduction are sledgehammers, batterng
rams and heavy ordnance. The cut
price argument is an implement Of the
putty blower type. Its effectiveness
depends far less upon the weight Of the
~projectile than upon the wind power Of
the man who operates II. Mr.. WILL
IAMs's superior attainments in that di-
reotion may be admitted, but It must
be recognized that he cannot lower the
height Of the wall without considerable
help. Few OF those around him are as
able as he in the use Of the particular
weapon he has chosen.
There Ia nothing new In either the
argument or the fact OF out prices on
goods for export. That Is, certain lines
Of American merchandise are sold in
foreign markets at lower prices than
those charged for the same goods in the
home market. We are told that because
watches, steel rails, sewing machines
and sundry other products Of American
factories are sold more cheaply for ex-
port than they are for home use the tariff
should be 80 revised as to compel,
through foreign competition, a reduo-
ton OF domestic prices, The argument
Is speoious, but II Ia distinctly %fallaoious.
1t falls to the ground upon q presentation
Of the limited extent OF the evil and the
reasons for the practice. The value Of
the merchandise exported under such
conditions is difficult and perhaps Inn
possible Of exact determination, 1t has
been estimated as approximating I, ooO,-
600 O year. That would represent about
80 cents in every 500 Of our exports and
about 20 cents in every 81, 900 Of Jul total
production.
The process known as dumping Is a
common practice in many lands, and it 10
oy no means confined TO export trade.

A Good, IL Not Perfect, Bill.

The Campaign Publicity bill, which
has been adopted by tho Legislature and
will undoubtedly be approved by Gov
ernor HIGGINS, requires all political COM
mittees that spend more than $500 and
Aall candidates whose expenses exceed
$40 to file a complete account OF their
receipts and expenditures with appro-
pirate public officers. The exemption Of
any committee or candidate from the
necessity Of rendering IN account Of
moneys collected and expended Is a mis-
take, but the bill, incomplete though II 10,
should be useful in preventing or cur
failing some of the grosser forms of oor-
ruption and may reduce considerably
the amount Of money contributed to
political organizations by interested or
"easy' persons.
This measure and the law prohibiting
corporations from making political oon-
tnbutions will 60 into effect in time to
be tested In the State campaign this fall.
II they are obeyed the State political
organizations Of the Republican and
Democratic parties will have less money
&c spend than they have had in the past,
and some Of their dependents and polite
blackmailers must be cut of the list Of
benefciaries. Hitherto much money has
been spent In foolish ways by campaign
managers, and many enterprises have
been financed by them which were Of
no benefit to their candidates. There
has also been "a popular belief, which
may not have been unfounded, that the
handling of campaign funds was not un-
profitable to some Of the men who en-
gage in politics as a business.
New York will suffer from the awk-
ward and troublesome form OF ballot
| that aflicts 1t in another election. Two
laws intended to improve political con-
ditions have been passed by the Legis-
lature, however, and for this the State
has cause for gratitude.
