TARIFF VIEWS.

THE hosiery trade is perhaps the
worst sufferer. which is due to the
competition of German manufacture
ers; decline inthe price of yarn and a
reduction Of wages abroad have en-
abled the German manufacturers to
sell their goods here at a lower price
tina nthat asked by the domestic manu-
facturers."
Now where did that come from
Probably from one of these bloated
capitalistic papers owned by a mil
lionaire. You have another guess
coming. 1t came from the New York
Evening Post, a paper which has al
ways fought protection. This shows
that even the most uncompromising
advocate of free trade can argue for
the republican doctrine of protection
in most conclusive way. We want
tariff revision along protective lines
and not free trade.

THE TWO FLEETS.

In February, 1854, Commodore Perry
with a small feet Of sailing vessels
arrived at Japan after a long voyage
Commodore brought with him models
of all the then modern things-rail.
roads, telegraph and machinery of al
sorts.
In the last few days another Ameri
can fleet has come to Japan. What q
contrast. The very ships of the Am
orleans reflect the great advance. The
Japanese have from that impetus given
toward European ways, not only
equalled, but excelled in some respects
the Europeans.
And yet with it all, Japan is Amer
lea in miniature. The very men in the
ministry of Japan from Katsura down
are typically Americans Most of them
have been educated in this country
and what is particularly similar, the
men who are exerting the greatest
influence are men who do not belong
to the aristocracy by birth, but men
who have fought their way up to the
government by sheer hard work and
competence for Office. This is typi-
cally American.
Indeed one of the hardest things
this ministry has to bear is the de-
nunciations which are hurled at them
for being Americanized and accusa-
tons Of leaning toward America-even
being in the employ of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Like in America, politics is growing
particularly vital question and here
too, it is interesting to see that the
approved methods of America are tax
ing root.
Unfortunately for one Individual
| word has gone out from the ministry
that he will have to muzzle his sensa-
tional and jingoistic utterances.
The Americanization of Japan is
almost complete. 1t is therefore not
little significant to remember that
1t was Japanese exclusion of Ameri-
cans which took the first fleet there
and American exclusion of Japanese
which prompted the second coming of
the feet. 1t seems in other words to
be case of Frankenstein. Now that
we have got them Americanized, it is
only natural that trouble should brew

like does not get along well with like,

Instantly the fishermen saw that 1t

of the fishermen, though each was an
expert swimmer, dared to jump into
the water. But the oarsman. being a

ing attacked by the men who have
caused all the trouble. In other words
a fight is being waged by men who
have been law defiers in the past.
They hope by the election of Mar
shall and a democratic legislature, to
get into control of things by the re-
peal of the county local optinon law
so that they can not be disturbed.
Therefore they are fighting the re-
publican party for giving the people
the power to defend themselves from
lawlessness and spoliation and are
fighting Watson and the candidates for
a republican legislature to get back
their state of immunity.

mean prohibition and will only con-
