wANTED-A BUREAU OF MINES.

Vast beyond computation are the
mineral resources of the United
States. No other country on the
globe yields annually such an enor-
nous output Of the precious metals,
says the Atlanta Georg an, and no
other country contributes to the
markets of the world such an i'm
mense quantity of Goa, and iron
and marble and copper. In the va
rious mi ming industries of the Unit
I'd States, not les than 1000. 600
nen are employed.
But an alarming fact in oonnec-
ton with this industrial pre-emi-
lence is the frightful loos of human
life VIII CHI It sEfnually entails.
The figures are actually appall-
ng.
Take, for example, the past CAL
sndar year.
In addition to 5000 miners who
we're killed outright in the Goa
mines alone, more than twice this
number were manned and INJURED
Altogether the annuaI death ag-
5regate is in excess of 1000.

Yet the bill creating a bureau of
mines, which passed the national
house of repre- entatives last May
by a vote Of 229 to p, is hanging
IRE in the United States senate;
and for every twenty-four hours of
delay the price Of a score of souls

This dilatory course Of procedure
Is all the more mysterious IA view
Of the action Of the senate commit

Regardless Of the jeopardy to hu

IRE invested in The mining industry
Of this country demand a bureau

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

THE convention OF the National
Association Of American Manufact-
urery at indianapolis has opened
wei. IN excluding Wilbur f. Wake
man and his like from any share IN
its deliberations. AS the primary.
T not the sole object OF this con-
vention, Is to promote the movement
in favor of a federal Commission to
sit in permanence for the purpose
OF tariff revision on scientific ba-
lis, 1t, Of course, has no room for in
truders who INSIST that the tariff
has no need Of revision now or
hereafter" says the Philadelphia
Record. III the pious estimation of
The American Protective tariff 'eague
and the Boston Home Market Club
the Ding ely act is a perfect legisla-
tive work on which no profane hand
should ever be laid.
The intelligent representative
Of nearly all the manufacturing in
dustries OF the country assembled at
indianapolis are Of quite different
opinion as to the sacred character
Of this measure. So far from hav-
ing any superst!tioua devot 'on to
lt they have found that It contains
many errors and lnrquitIes that
ihou be extripated with as little
delay as possible. Such is their re-
formatory zeal, in fact, that while
they frankly avow themselves protec
tionists they urge upon congress the
creation OF permanent commission
to sit on the tarfff all the year
round.
/ The only question Is as to the
practical utility OF such a govern
Ement commission. 1t is conceded by
these wellmeantng manufacturers
that the tariff ought to be revised
'downwand" and that II is going
% be SO revised in the coming extra
session OF congress. When this
work is accomplished, Il with a rea-
sonable degree Of success, there will
be no desire for agitation of the
question or for revising tariff sched
ules for years to come. All parties
VIZ unite in a demand for rect from
agitation. What would this perma-
nent commission be doing in the
meantime? Gathering statistics of
trade and Investigating conditions
OF labor. wages and production. With
view to further revision. of the
tariff to which congress and the
country VIII give no heed in the de.
sire for rest? There are quite
enough bureaus In the government
now collecting this information. For
wnat else was the department of
abor and commerce erected, with its
immense official parapherna ia?
1T IS urged, however. that this
permanent commission woul1 per
form a most uzeful service in the
passage Of a maximum and mini
mum tariff in deciding which Of the
TWO rates should be imposed on the
trade Of a particular country. That
would never do. Congress cannot
abdicate its legislative functions to
confer them upon such a commits
sion. To determine whether this or
that duty shall be imposed on the
imports from any country IS to leg
islate; and this power be longs only
TO the congress. For the rest. the
maximum and minimum device wa.
adopted for the purpose of CONNER
cial warfare. This country above
ali wants commercial peace, and for
this reason wiz not put an instru-
ment Of commercial war in the
hands of any commission"

DECISION RESTORES
piNGLEY RATE ON PAPER.

A Washington dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger says: "a
treasury decision the other day re
stores practically the full duty or
print paper that existed before the
tariff revision commenced. The rate
then was Sc a ton, and the decision
fixes the duty on paper from Ontario
at $5.75 a ton and on paper from
Quebec at S6.10. AS Ontario ani
Quebec are practically the only prov
inces or countries from which print
paper is imported into the United
States. the effective duty on papel
is an average of 1892 1-2 a ton, OF
only Z 1-2 cents a ton less than un
der the Dingdey law.
"Tha rate ostensibly imposed OF
print paper in the Payne bill was
s3.75 ton. a rate which was in it
self so high that SO staunch a Re
publican as Representative Mann oi
Illinois voted against the whole bill
on account of it. To that rate on
account of reported determinations
is added a punitive rate of 1.1O of a
cent a pound, or 81 a ton. In the
case of Quebec still further duty
of s5 cents ton is levied to off
set the export dGty OF that province
on cord pulp wood"
