The Tariff Debate in the Senate.


Some Of the Washington correspond
ents who claim to have inside informa-
ton make the prediction that the Sem
ate will pass the tariff bill in 30 days.
If this is done, it will be exceptionally
rapid handling of such a bill. The
Senate debate upon the Mckinley bill
lasted two months, and that on the
Wilson, German bill three months and
10 days, while on the Dingley bill II
two months. The Senate added 633
amendments to the Wilson, German bill
and sO1 to the Dingley bill. The for
mer was in conference between the
two branches nearly two months and
the Dinghy bill about two weeks.
The Senate finance committee has
been preparing many changes in the
Payne bill while the measure has been
under consideration in the House, and
it is difficult business to prophesy as
to the length of time the members of
the Senate will insist upon discussing
these amendments or how long it will
take the Senate and House to settle
their differences in conference. If it Is
done in 30 days, as some of the Wash
ington correspondents tell us, new
record will be established and the
country generally will be much sur
prlsed. 1t is far more likely to take
two months than one.

to our trade which exists today is the
| lack of adequate facilities for trans
portation between the United States
ard the South American republics. A
few steamships run from New York
down to Brazil, but for the most part
merchandise sent from this country
to South America has to be sent across
the Atlantic and from there tranship-
ped in foreign steamers. 1t is need
less 20 say that this condition Of af-
fairs has been, and will always be,
so long as it is permitted to exist, a
very serious handicap to our commerce
with the South American republics.
Consul O'Hara called attention in re-
cent report to the fact that of thou
sand ships which visited the principal
port of Brazil last year only one was
an American steamship, and that a
sailing vessel in distress!
II is evident that Congress has been
negligent in dealing with this great
problem of transportation. 1t should
give every possible encouragement to
the establishment of American lines
of steamships to all the principal
South American ports When this is
done we can confidently count upon
an increase in American trade in that
section of the world, running well up
to the billion dollar mark annually. 1t
would seem as if the securing of such
a volume of trade might we'll justify
Congress not merely in extending all
possible facilities to capitalists who
are willing to undertake the establish
lishment of such steamship lines, but
also to give liberal subsidies, for such
subsidies are necessary to meet similar
legislation in Europe, and put Ameri-
can steamships and American enter
prise upon a fair basis for meeting
the competition of foreign countries
and securing our fair share of the
great markets of South America.
without such subsidies, at least at
the start, it is evident that We must
remain in years to come, at the same
disadvantage in securing our share
of the South American trade that we
are at today. The remedy Is within
our reach and it is up to Congress.
II is to be hoped that in future years
certain learned men from the great
West who have never expanded their
lungs with the briny atmosphere of Old
Ocean, and whose views of the needs
of this country are too often limited
to 1.-The hard wheat belt will apprc-
ciate the fact that in the building up
of great American steamship lines may
be found large element of prosperity.
not merely for the men interested in
shipping but for the millions of other
men in this country who, directly and
indirectly, contribute to it's productive
enterprise.

was lOi. inches less. When the two
headings came together they were
Get one half inch of alignment,
while in the floor there was a differ
ence of less than four incher. MIR.
Miner, the Office engineer, who has
had this work under his general
Supervision, says that owing to the
roaGhness of the floor the exact dlf-
ferooce is hard to determine.
1t seems almost impossible that
men could climb over a high noun

of calculations from heights estab-
lished by triangular measurements,
establish an imaginary line through
tho mountain for SIX miles that
would come out in actual distance
less than one foot difference when
the imaginary line developed into a
