SATURDAY. OCTOBER .. 1901.
What Did Mr.. StrauS Mean?

If the Secretary of Comerce and
Labor cannot speak authoritatively
for the Administration on the sub
ject of the tariff, it would be hard
to figure who can. 1t was Oscar L.
Straus, now the head of the depart
ment indicated, who used these
words yesterday to a convention of
foreign and American manufacture
ers of cotton goods.
If you build your tariff too high in
this country you Will encourage high
walls on the other side, which are
known by the name OF discriminating
duties" We are striking that wall now
No one foresaw this more clearly than
President Mckinley, and no one has
shown the way more clearly now 10
overcome the existing and increasing
obstacles that lay in the path OF our
foreign commerce. He recommended
reciprocity and a revised tartn 10 meet
The changed and Changing conditions, IN
order to gain our proper share OF the
foreign markets.
This is enough to disturb the
american Economist and the stand
patters for whom it carries the flag.
Ert the Secretary went further. He
pointed out that not only must
tariff barriers be gagged in the light
o. the opportunity of other nations
to obstruct American commerce
likewise, but that good will between
nations is a requisite to trade no
less than cheap goods and knowl-
edge of the market. There was an
intended significance in his observa-
ton that China took S2O,OOo,OOo less
from you (that IL to say, from
American cotton manufacturers)
than the year before"
Does this mean that the Presi-
dent is to propose TO Congress the
doctrine of Mr.. McKinley's Buffalo
speechg Does it mean that our
present tra-Congressional agree
ments with France and Germany
are only the beginning of general
reduction of schedules to avoid dis
eliminating duties" if the Admins
tration is strong enough to obtain
that reduction? Does it mean whip
ming the stand-patters into line or
compelling them to come out into
open opposition?
1t may mean nothing of all this
at all. But if it signifies what it
means, Theodore Roosevelt and his
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
have chosen a course which will
work great good to the Republican
party and greater good to the
nation.

Good Work for Washington.

An even hundred foreign manu-
facturers were the guests yesterday
afternoon Of the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce. There was no
double purpose in the entertain
ment; the visitors were in very fact
guests; but no one who heard the
buzz of their comment when they
gathered in their hotel at the close
of their tour of the American Capt.
toll could fail to realize how truly,
from every business point of view,
the enterprise Of this trade body
had paid"
For, first, these business men from
England, France, Germany, Austria
Hungary, Belgium and every other
manufacturing nation of Europe,
were enabled to see Washington in
the conventional sense. With only
half a day for it, they could not
otherwise possibly have inspected
the Capitol, the Library, the Cor
coran Gallery of Art (where they
were the guests OF the directors)
and the residences which are giving
the city a new distinction. But in
automobiles, taken swiftly from
place to place, with guides who re-
allied what foreigners desired to
know and were competent to tell,
the tour was easily and pleasantly
arranged.
This would have warranted the
time and money spent by the Cham
Der of Commerce. But it was far
from all. For business men of en-
terprise did not stop with the Capt.
toll, the Library, the Corcoran Gal
1ery, and the imposing mansions
they were shown. where are your
manufactures ?" they asked. Where
do your workpeople live ?" do your
spinners and mechanics patronize
your library and art gallery?"
In answer they were told Wash
ington's situation. That it is, and
must be in future, city without
smoke. That it has electrical power
at a lower cost than practically any
other city in America. That, sub
ject to the smoke law and a grow
ing purpose to keep the Capital
beautiful, there is abundant oppor-
tunity for manufacturers to locate
here in market practically ready
for their wares, with freight and
soliciting charges eliminated.
Were they interested? They
were. indeed. Wherever they go
now, through the South, back to the
North, and back across tho ocean to

three easily handled volumes the entire
story of the fighting on both sea and
land is told and discussed as strategy
and the art Of war.
Colonel Sargents criticism is frank
and fearless. While censuring General
Shafter for minor errors, he call atten-
ton 10 the fact that he did all that he
was called upon TO do with means so in
sufficient that an Efficient commanding
officer on the Spanish side could have
defeated him. Admiral Sampson. in
taking the New York from the line Of
battle on the morning OF the naval vic
tory over Cervera, is charged with "a
glazing tactical error" Especially note
worthy are the repeated tributes to the
