FIVE PER CENT LOWER DUTIES

The five per cent discrimination
clause on imports in American ships
in the tariff law evidently means more
than even the farmers of the law fore
saw. 1t attracted little attention when
the bill was under consideration. Most
readers supposed that favored ma
ton" treaties would except all import
ant imports from it. Now the Solicitor
of the Treasury has been looking the
matter up and finds that it will cut
at least ten millions out of the rev.
enues.
In the first place, the discrimination
applies to all goods carried in Amerl'
can ships. Competitors projected by
treaties get the same discrimination.
But nearly half the countries, includ-
ing Russia, China, Mexico, France and
Brazil, have no commercial treaties.
The British treaty does not include the
British possessions, and that for Ger
many was made only with Prussia.
From more than twenty countries,
Including Canada, Australia, India, the
West Indies and other British posses
sions, and from all the smaller mem
bers of the German empire, American
ships can carry duitable goods five per
cent cheaper than British or German.
It is a surprise that France is not pro-
tected This may prove to be mis-
take, for the discovery Of the extent
of the clause tumbles out in such haste
that errors are possible. 1t will un-
doubleday have to be interpreted by
the courts. The Treasury and State
Departments, for example, do not
agree about Germany.
This discrimination goes back to
FIRST principles. In our early history
American commerce had similar ad-
vantage over foreign. Shipping advo-
Gates have long been calling for revi-
val of it, even in preference to sub
sides. Many of them are convinced
that the flourishing state of our early
commerce was due more to this ad-
vantage than to the long European
wars. But the discrimination has been
out of international favor for long
time.
It may not last for long in its en-
tirely. If our Supreme Court does not
pare it down, Germany, France and
England will demand new treaties. But
the discrimination should remain
against European competition in Asia
tic and South American countries,
which have neither protection nor
shipping of their own, as it will build
up American commerce there.-Min-

be useful as well. For, if there is a

about all of our people have heard of

are disposed, if necessary, to fight for

Now Colonel Roosevelt is going to

average reader, interested in the Col.

So that the average voter, when
called upon to consider our relations
with South America, will have con.
ception more palpable than a name,
more tangible than an abstraction. AS
each new land is visited by the Col.

that it is a real, sure-enough land to

GOSSIP OF THE COURTS.

II is the fashion nowadays If o poll
tician speaks his mind in plain English
to declare how degenerate the modern
statesman is. when compared with his
"dianifedr predecessors This IS wrong,
and it requires but little familiarity with
the political orstory Of former genera
tions TO prove how wrong it is.
There was no man whose tongue could
be more scathing than Benjamin Dis

first electoral speeches (at Ayesburyl

Friend and foe alike fell under the
lash Of "Dzzy's" vitrolic tongue. He
denounced Lord John Russell as AN in

capable author into an eminent poll

Palmerston reminded him Of "A favor

empire" and addressed him thus: "Our
language commands noexpression Of the
scorn which has not been exhausted in
the celebration Of your character, There
is no conceivable idea of degradation

But it was upon O'Connell that he
emptied the vials OF his most supreme
scorn. "He s,' he said "a systematic
