IT is peculiar belief among financial men-so we'll grounded as to be an axiom, joke or a superstition to fight shy of companies that exploit the fnan- clan virtues of some official who used to be treasurer of the United States or high state official.

"Not Make Tin Plate 2"

One of the questions which Will
liam Mckinley used to ask when he
was stumping the country as an advo-
cate Of the protective tariff in 1892
was, Not make tin plate?" Free
trades insisted the manufacture of
tin plaJe could never be success in
the United States. In answer McKin-
ley produced the facts, such as they
We're. The United States was still
heavy importer of tin plates. More
than 1,000,000,000 pounds had been
brought in the year before.
Last year, the importations had
been reduced to 127000,000. Mean
while tin plate of domestic manufac-
ture is being exported in increasing
quantities, more than 100000 pounds
of it last year And besides this, prac
tically every pound of tin plate which
was brought into the country in 1906
was shipped out again in the form of
cans, boxes and other manufactured
articles. In such cases the exporter
gets back SO per cent. of the duty he
has paid as drawback"

WHAT THE ROW is ABOUT.
Washington Post Has the Right Idea
About Tariff Tangle.

Shrewdly and correctly the Wasl
ington Post estimates the true in
wardness of our tariff tangle with
Germany when it says:
Germany wants to sell her sugar
in our market in competition with the
sugar trust. That is what the row is
about"
Undoubtedly the chief cause of irri-
tation has been the foolish dicker
we elected to favor Cuban sugar by a
20 per cent. tariff reduction German
beet sugar came to this country at
the rate of $10,000,000 year. Di-
rectly following the conclusion of the
reciprocity deal with Cuba our inn
ports of German sugar fell to about
$4,000 year. The refusal of con.
gress to lower the duty on refined
sugar to correspond with the reduc-
ton of the tariff on Cuban raw sugar
was an especial offense to Germany.
The effect of that refusal was TO put
many millions of dollars annually in
TO the pocket OF the sugar trust and
toht OuC VI lhC pOChcIo
of German sugar growers. From that
moment Germany began to study
how to compel the United States to
give fair treatment to German ex-
ports of sugar. Result, the high max
imum tariff with which Germany
threatens to discriminate against
American exports unless substantial
tariff concessions shall be granted in
favor of German exports. That is
what the row is about. The Post is
absolutely right in this view. All the
present trouble has grown out of the
chapter of follies perpetrated in the
name of Cuban reciprocity. Not alone
did that misguided move involve a
rank injustice to American growers
of sugar and tobacco, trade balance
loss of $50000,000 a year, and loss
of $15,000,000 to $18,000,000 a year in
revenues, but it so angered Germany
by it's gross favoritism toward Cuban
sugar planters and the American
| sugar trust that for nearly three
years the club of German retaliation
and revenge has been shaken in the
| face of our government. The Cuban
blunder lies at the root of the present
situation. That is what the row is
about.

PEACE CONGRESS CLOSES.
Mr.. Carnegie Is Honored by France
He Issues Reply to President
Roosevelt's COLLECTIONS"

New York.-The first convention
of the national arbitration and
peace congress came to an end las
night after three days session, with
two banquets. one at the Hotel Astoi
and the other at the Waldorf-Astoria
The event of greatest interest was the
decoration of Andrew Carnegie with
the cross OF the Legion of Honor by
the French government.
Mr.. Carnegie, who is president OF
the congress, gave out a statement as
to the results of the congress. AL
though not so designated by Mr.. Car
negie, the statement constitutes a re
ply to some of the suggestions con
tanned in the letter which President
Roosevelt addressed to the congress
Mr. Carnegie quotes these statements
as objections" and answers them as
follows:
"Our peace conference has brought
three objections clearly before us.
"First-Nations cannot submit al
questions to arbitration.
"Answer-Six of them have recent
ly done so by treaty-Denmark, ant
The Netherlands, Chile and Argen
tina, Norway and Sweden.
"Second-Justice is higher thar
peace.
"Answer-The first principle of nat
ural justice forbids men to judge
when they are parties to the issue. AL
law rests upon this.
Nations being only aggregates O.
individuals, they will not reach jus
tice in their judgments until the same
rule holds good, viz: That they, lik,
individuals, shall not sit as judges il
their own cause.
"Third-It is neither peace nor jus
tice, but righteousness that shall exal
the nation.
Answer-Righteousn is simpl,
doing what is right"

nents of High Finance.
PAIR OF BANKERS,
One of Them Formerly a Judge of a
Court, are Sentenced to Serve
Time in the Penitentiary.

Chicago, Ill.-The jury in the de-
funct Bank of America conspiracy
case returned a verdict last night,
finding ex-Judge Abner Smith, the
banks president, guilty and giving
an indeterminate sentence to the peni-
tentiary and $1,000 fine. G. E. Sor-
row, vice president, suffered the same
sentence. Jerome V. Pierce, cashier,
was fined $500 without Imprisonment,
while F. e. Creelman, a director, was
found not guilty.
The Bank of America was opened
on December 4, 1905, and a receiver
was appointed six weeks later. The
promoting of the institution was
marked by what the state character
lied as "high finance" During the
trial witnesses testified that the char
ter for the bank was procured through
fraud, it being said that the promoters
OF the institution "kited" checks for
the alleged purpose of making it ap-
pear that they had sufficient funds to
obtain the charter.
The closing of the bank followed
the failure of a lumber company in
which Creelman was heavily interest
ed. An investigation of the banks
affairs at the time disclosed a great
number of worthless notes, which, it
was alleged, had been put up in pay
ment for bank stock
President Smith was for several
years Judge of the Cook county cir
cult court. During the trial an effort
was made to show that he was a vic
tim of circumstances and had been i'm
posed upon by other officers of the
bank

BUSINESS BAROMETER.
Cold Weather Continues to Retard
Trade in Many Branches.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Spring trade developed slowly be-
cause of unreasonable weather, but
the lost ground will be recovered in
large measure when normal tempera-
ture prevails. Cold weather has pre-
vailed over an unusually large area,
retarding agricultural progress as
well as trade in light weight wearing
apparel and other spring goods, but
similar bad starts in ether years have
sometimes brought most favorable re-
suits.
The only actual damage of any ac-
count is reported in some winter
wheat fields of the southwest, where
insects and drouth combined to injure
grain, and on most of this area some
other crop has been planted.
