The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1908-06-04

Those who will persist in croaking
about hard times" should study the
Official statements issued from Wash
ington, showing that in all probability
the export trade of the United States
would reach S2.OOO,0OO,OOO in the fiscal
year which will end June 80. If these
phenomenal figures are reached it win
have more than doubled in the years
that have elapsed since the beginning
Of the first Mckinley administration.
There seemed little doubt a month ago
that the export commerce of the coun-
try would reach the S2OOO,OO0,OOO
mark the fiscal year, but there was
an unexpected decrease in outgoing
cargces in March. The export trade
In that month was valued at Sal, 397,-
57S. as against S161 .GS5, 22S in the same
month of last year.
The grand total of foreign bound
commerce. for the first nine months of
the fiscal year stands at S1,497, 800, $50,
but If the increase in shipments dur
Ing the next three months should be as
large as il was in the same months of
last year. in comparison with those of
1906. the grand total for the year would
be close to $2.O00OO0,O0O.

No Executive Order Regarding Navy
Yard Dismissals.

The published statement that some
mysterious order" had been issued from
the White House or the Navy Department
directing that no more wOrlmen be dis
missed from the local navy yard was en-
phatical!y denied by officials i'm authority
today. 1t can be stated that no such or
deg was issuedA 1t is declared to be true
however that there will he no more dis
charges. for the present at least. while
the navy yard authorities are endeavor-
ing to adjust matters so the money appro-
priated for naval ordnance work can be
stretched out, so as to give EMPLOYMENT
to the greatest number Of men
. The news that there will be no more
disnissals at this time was received with
acclaims Of joy by the workingmen in the
yard today. 1t is officially stated that
the number of men dismissed to date since
the reduction began is :,SS. The list of
men for further dismissal made up yes
terday has been held up by Rear Admiral
LeutZe. it is said. Only a few discharges
were made yesterday.
Assistant Secretary Newberry Of the
Navy Department. who has direct super
vision of the employment OF labor at the
various navy Yards and stations, is in
clined to be rather reticent in the discus
sion of the labor situation at the Wash
lngton navy yard. Asked directly as to an
order said to have emanated from the
President that there be no more dis
charges at the local yapd. Mr.. Newberry
said that there had been no such order
issued so far as he knew. He said the
report was probably based on the fact
that the commandment of the local yard
had been instructed ito go slow in the
matter OF further discharges until We
can find out exactly how We stand
From another source it was learned
That the officials in charge are figuring
closely TO make sure that the eXpendi-
lures for work at the yard for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year shall not ex-
coed the available appropriations. 90 far
as can be ascertained 20 proposition has
been made to the Navy Department to di-
vide the work among the men by a sys-
TEN Of leaves so that all may have pro-.
portiOnate share of the work to be done
during the remainder of the year.
Later in the day. Assistant Secretary
Newberry expressed the belief that the
present appropriations available for the
Washington navy yard will obviate the
necessity for any further reductions in
the existing force a til" yard during the
present fiscal year. OF course if some IN.
ioveseen contingency should arise he said
tn" situation would he different but UNI
der the conditions now prevailing he
thought the officials would be able to re-
tain the present force until the new ap-
preparations became available.

the COMPANY arrived on the scene no blaze

The fire was confined between the roof

The German Method.
How did Germany make her tariff
classifications so much clearer. simpler
and more accurate than ours? BY the
common sense plan Of having an expert
commission arrange these clAssiflcations.
But that was only part Of the work
81 the German commission. Years ago
Germany saw that only body of ex-
,erts could get the facts and arrange the
rheduIes for her tariff; she saw that the
,nly work which the reichstag could do
VAS the fixing Of duties to the items
which the expert commission classified
md upon the facts which the expert COM
oission found out and laid before the
xichstae So Germany selected for this
work thirty of the best-fitted men to be
ound in the empire. This commission
consulted more than 1000 trade and In
1ustrial experts. 1t investigated every
phase of every industry in the empire
which might bear upon the tarin. 1t care
fully studied the tariffs of other countries

the making of a tariff was worked out to
the smallest detail by the German ex-
pert commission. 1t spent almost six
cred and the scheduled classifications thus
made were laid before the reichstag. and
the reichstag then finally fixed the duties.
after its committee, corresponding to the
ways and means committee of our House
OF Representatives. had spent ten months
in continuous work examining the recon-
mendations of the commission.
1T Is her foreign markets that gave
Germany her Industrial prosperity. In
sdeed. 1t is her foreign markets which
enable Germany to live. The time is here
when foreign markets for our manufac-
lures are becoming almost as important to
American industry IS they are to Ger
man industry. This one fact alone COM
mands us to take the same up-to-date
scientific steps with our tariff that Ger
many has taken with her tariff. But far

He uses the court and its orders as
basis for his Misrepresentation
and abuse, and true to his instincts
and tactics, is false in relating the
proce ings which took place in
court as he does all other things.
1t is not fact that the court
criticized Mr.. Garrett in the least
or ordered him to resign. The
fact is that Mr.. Garrett voluntarily
asked the court to relieve him of the
duties of receiver, showing the
court that he was not a practical
machinist and did not have time
to devote to the business in order to
get the best results for all concern
ed. The court simply suggested
that under those circumstances per-
hsps it would be best to appoint
someone who was practical me-
chanic. As to the supplemental
report, the court simply advised
that it be made bringing the account
down to date.
Further comment on this matter
is unnecessary. Just enough to
show the color of the individual
who has been leading in this great
reform for Mountain Home and her
future during the past few weeks.
