New York, Nov. 22.-The lives of
more than 500 persons were imperiled
today when the fruit steamer Admiral
Dewey, inward bound from Jamaica,
ran into the steamer Mount Desert out
ward bound from Bay Ridge, for the
fishing banks. The Admiral Dewey,
coming suddenly out of a fog bank.
struck the Mount Desert almost amid
ships, opening a gap in the fishing YES
sci which extended from the upper
decks to the waters edge. There We're

six children on the Mount Desert, and

with skull and caution and, undoubt-
edly, with manipulative accompani-
ment in the stock market. The support
and protection of the market has not
been entirely abandoned with the re
duction of holdings by the larger in
terests, but has become palpably less
aggressive. The newer and more widely
scattered holders of stocks are less
capable of organization and co1nbina-
ton for the support of the market and
a decline in prices leaves them more
vulnerable to the requirements for in
creased credits to meet the situation or
to force reduction of holdings.
Another incentive to conversion of
stock holdings into cash is the prepara-
ton for large issues of now capital
which are coming out. The Panama
canal bond issue of the United States
government, the New York City bond
issue, a Corean, Japanese loan and an
Indian loan in London are cases in
point The Illinois Central bond issue
and a Philippine Railroad issue in New
York are the prelminares to a long
line of important applications for new
capital from railroads which are looked
for in the New York market. These is
sues are applied for with avidity as
they are offered and this evidence of
the large supply of capital available
makes one of the most important fac
tors towards revival in the situation.
Means are thus assured for resump-
ton of improvements, extensions and
petterments by the railroads, which
will set in motion a long train Of con-
sequences, all making for Increase of
consumptive requirements for conlmo-
dities and prosperous activities in sup
plying them The transfer of capital out
Of holdings of older securities. at the
present high prices into the newer is
sues at more attractive prices is, how
ever, inevitable. New capital issues and
| increased needs of commercial activity
are expected to absorb added amounts
of money and credits.
| The money market itself has shown
| but slight effect from these influences
The previous weeks hardening of time

politics has been of some influence CT

House at Washington has contributed

Last evening two nearly famished

greatly upon manufactured articles
and to abolish entirely those no longer
needed.
1.-The writer has co-operated In max
ing several reductions as steel man
ufacturers became able to bear reduc-
tions. Today they need no protection,
unless perhaps in some new Specialties
unknown to the writer because steel is
now produced cheaper here than any
where else, notwithstanding the higher
wages paid per man.
The day has passed when any for
eign country can seriously affect our
steel manufacturers, tariff or no tariff.
This republic has become the home
of steel and this is the age to steel.
The writer speaks only of ordinary
forms of steel as being able to stand
without protection. He hopes there
are today pioneers in several new lines
requiring protection which will be gen.
,-rously given temporarily. The coun-
try should welcome such special uses.

features of the tariff should be care

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

A telephone message from Deputy
Sheriff Elliott of Rumford Falls, who

days. announced that he had recovered
from relatives of Rufus Corliss Flint

was proprietor of local moving pic

New York, Nov. ga notable ar
ticle from Andrew Carnegie, dealing
with the tariff, will appear in the
forthcoming December number of the
Century Magazine, in which the iron
master takes the position that Infant
industries no longer need protection;
that the steel and other industries have
now grown beyond the need of tariff
protection; that duties on luXuries used
by the rich should be maintained, but
that those on manufactured articles
should be reduced greatly, or abolished
entirely when no longer needed.
Mr.. Carnegic's article is entitled
my Experience With and Views Upon
the Tariff" He reviews the tarlH
movements down to the present Ding
ley law, and says that conditions have
changed so greatly in the interval that
the tariff should now be viewed from a
new standpoint. He assumes that a
decided majority of American voters
are agreed:
"First-That it is advisable for new
countries to encourage capital by pro
| tective duties, when seen to be neces-
sary to develop new industries
"Second--That after full and exhaus-
| tive trials. if success be not finally
attained, such protection should cease,
except as noted hereunder.
"Third-That should the experiment
succeed, protection becomes unneces-
sary and should steadily, but gradually
be abolished, provided that the home
supply Of any article absolutely neces-
sary for the national safety shall not
hereby be endangered"
| Further on Mr.. Carnegie says:
1--WE have already become by far the
greatest of all manufacturing nations
Cur Infant Industries OF the past
have reached maturity, and. speaking
generally, are now quite able to protect
themselves.
while the tariff as a whole even to
day has ceased to be primarily bcnc
fetal as a measure of protection, 1t ha:
become Of vast Importance from til,
/ standpoint of revenue, and it Is to this
feature l bespeak the special attention
of readers of all parties, for duties up
on imports, not for protection. but fol
needed revenue, should not become ;
party question. Reasonable men Of az
parties may be expected to approve
this plan of obtaining rvenue."
After giving tables showing that tn
bulk of tariff duties are collected OF
luxuries used by the rich, Mr.. Carne
gle says:
Thus does the American tariff il
happy contrast to others almos
exempt the poor and heavily taxed jus
as it should: for it is they who hav
the ability to pay as required by tn
highest economic law
Mr. Carnegie says of future TART
legislation:
THE next Congress dealing with tn
tariff will probably be inclined at frs
to reduce duties all around and pei
haps to abolish some, but its first car
should be to maintain present dutie
and even in some cases increase the,
on some articles used almost exclusive
" by the rich, ard this not for protet
ton, but for revenue. not drawn frol
the workers, but from the rich. This
the first and prime duty Of Congress
We should not forget that governmel
expenditures have increased enormous

revenue is required.
Its second duty Is to reduce duti'
