that it costs more to get the money to
foreign field than is spent on the
field.

AMERICAN GOODS ABROAD.
Policy Of Cheaper Sales Has Consent
of Both Parties.

Policy of Cheaper Sales Has Consent
Of Both Parties.
Secretary Shaw estimates that out
of every $1,000 worth of manufactures
exported from this country 80 cents
worth are sold abroad cheaper than at
home. So far the complaint of the
Democrats that our manufactures sell
abroad cheaper than at home seems to
be true. But this Is not as great dis
count In the export trade as the adj
vantage given to manufactures In the
importation Of raw materials, that they
may employ American labor at Amer
lean wages In the manufacture OF goods
that are to be sold abroad in competi-
ton.
1t has been the policy Of the Repub-
lican party for a number of years to
encourage such competition 10 foreign
markets. The drawback on materials
Imported for manufactures that are to
be exported Is not peculiar to the
Dingley law The same pf6vision was
in the Mckinley law, and II was incor.
porated In the Wilson's German law by
the Democrats. 1t was kept In the law
when the Dingley act was passed be-
cause it became the policy Of the gov.
eminent by common consent Of both
parties. AL
Last year we imported $10,000.00O
worth of materials which went into
manufactures for export. and the draw
back was paid on about per cent OF
our imports. This would make it pos
sible for the American manufacturers
to sell about per cent Of their exports,
or $120,000,000 worth, cheaper abroad
than at home. The advantage given by
the drawback was given for the pur-
pose Of enabling them to go into for.
eign markets and compete, even II
they had to sell cheaper than at home.
And this advantage was given In the
Democratic tariff act Of 1894, just as 1t
had been in the Mckinley act of 1890
and as it Is now given by the Dingley
act Of 1897.
1t is therefore not a partisan ques-
ton, because 1t has had recognition
from both political parties. 1t is a
part of the policy to meet competition
in foreign markets rather than protec-
ton for the home market. Its definite
purpose is to enable manufacturers in
this country to give employment to
American .abor for the production OF
goods for consumption in Europe In
stead of leaving that manufacture tc
European producers employing Euro
pean labor.

OF the money orders stolen was one
OF the cleverest that has been perform
ed for some time and it took the ex-
press company some time to run down
the fugitive.
Charlson has confessed to burglary,
forgery and attempt to obtain money
under false pretense, all committed
as part of his plan to swindle mer.
chants in st. Paul, Minneapolis and

he is now in Jail.
William Cohen, jeweler of Mime

Warwick office set a trap for Charl-
son which he walked into at Tolna
Thursday last. Some days after the
Office at Warwick was robbed three
money orders showed up in a letter to
Cohen requesting him to send the
writer John Orlaund, gold dust and
gold nuggets to the amount of $4,000.
As Cohen is not dealer in raw ma

wrong with the writer and was con-
WINGED that the money orders were.
forged. When he took them to the
Minneapolis office OF the express come

Cardinals at Rome in June and July
OF 1901, was successful in reaching a
general basis of agreement and i'm
pressed the church authorities in
Rome with his fairness of mind and
uprightness Of purpose.
In December, 1903, Governor Taft
left the Philippine service to become
Secretary of War, assuming his new
duties December /, 1904, His earliest
mission in this new work was to visit
Panama, where he acquainted himself
thoroughly with the conditions on the
Isthmus and all important problems
connected with the building OF the
canal. In September, 1905, he made
a tour of inspection in the Philippines.
The following year he went to Cuba
as peacemaker between the different
factions> there, and acted for a short
time as Provisional Governor. In
March; 1907. he again visited Panama,
Cuba and Porto Rico to attend to
American interests in those countries.
In the fall Of the same year he visited
the Philippines for the purpose of
opening the Philippine Assembly. All
this experience gained in the actual
performance Of the most important
duties Of government will prove of In
estimable value to him in case he is
elected president. AS matter of fact,
no man ever aspired to the Office who
had a better equipment in all the es-
sentials OF character and training.
