United States Valuation
Would Correct Tariff Evils
Judge De Vries.

Americas markets being the best,
its prices the highest and its money
at par, this country has become the
goal of all regenerating trade" Judge
Marion Dc Vries, of the United States
Court of Customs Appeals, says in a
statement Just issued in favor of the
new Fordney Tariff Bill.
National self preservation, in that
status, primarily demands, plenary
defense of our markets against being
made the dumping grounds of the
worlds products of cheap labor and
production, augmented by extreme
currency depreciation.
Zone needs to travel but little to be
taught the distress and dire needs of
our manufacturers, producers and
laborers by the vacant shops, the
smokeless stacks, and hopeless faces
of our workmen, where before were
the hum of activity and the smile of
contentment.
why? We turn to the morning
paper. Every day is printed there the
reason why We read in one column,
for example, that cut of 20 per cent
has been made in agricultural imple-
ments, in another that four and one
half million of our laborers are out OF
employment, while in another column
you read an official report to the De-
partment of Commerce that the great
Krupp plants of Germany, the pre-
war output of and workmen in which
contributed more to the world calam-
ity and human suffering than any
like institution in history, now ems
ployes 10000 men as against 8l,00O
men prior to the war; that they are
contented and reasonably paid; that
the daily output of agricultural and
varied products of that institution
is greater than in history. @
upon every hand we find in our
land that to-day our goods are being
driven from our markets, OUR factor
les closed, our farms impoverished
and our laborers thrown into idleness
by the cheap productions of foreign
countries which are hourly being
dumped into this country. Three
years ago the war closed. Almost
every great commercial nation of the
world save the United States has put
up the tariff barriers against this
delugeyof cheap foreign goods. Octo-
ber lst free trade England raised her
duties So 1881 On six thousand
articles. Previously she provided spe-
cial duty against German goods of
so per cent, and deprecated curren-
cy provision of IS per cent.
"The question now whether the
import duties levied by the United
States shall be calculated upon for
eign or American valuation basis is
perhaps the most important import
tariff issue seriously considered by
the Congress since 1883,
"The existing foreign valuation
system is without doubt the weakest

TALES OF ANCIENT VOYAGERS
Make as Pleasant Reading ToIay a.
They Did When They Were
First Written.

Many of the tales Of voyagers that
were collected by Richard Hakluyt in
the time Of Shakespeare are fully as
pleasant to read now as Robinson
CrRoe" or "Gulliver's- Travels" and
they have the advantage of being
shorter. Take, for instance, "The
First Voyage of Master John Davis,
Undertaken In June, 1885, for the Dis
covery of the Northwest Passage,
written by John James Merchant, SER
want of the Worshipful Master william
SanderSon." Here we read of the
discovery of land "the first sight
whereof diG show as If 1t had been in
form of a sugar loaf standing to our
sight above the clouds, for that 1t did
show over the fog like white liste In
the sky"
Mooring the barque in good order,
the captain and his company went on
shore on small island, where they
found people who showed them
"thing made like timbrel," which
they "did beat upon with a stick, max
ing noise like small drum" Then
John James Marchant goes on to tell
Of the canoes which these people had.
the rocks Of the land "very fair like
marble. full of veins of divers colorS,"
Of their sleds, Of their fire backed by
stones laid like wall, of their fruit
like currants, and of the pools of snow
water beside cliffs "of such ore as
Master Forblsher brought from Meta
'ncognita," A pleasant land it was to
discover. and pleasant land it is to
discover today with the help of some
parts of Hakluyt's tales.

In the dim ages OF history When man
first felt the desire Tor beauty, traders
searched the world for dyestutfs, jew
els, perfumes, spices and precious
woods. The risk of these voyages was
great and only princes or mobiles could
afford the fruits of ventures to the tar
corners of the world. No man of
humble origin could aspire to the rich
crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple OF
ancient Tyre, retailing at 5000 pound.
Royal Purple is an age-old insignia
of aristocracy. This dye was secreted
by small shellfish on the Eastern
coast of the Mediterranean and here
the enterprising merchants OF Tyre
formed dye monopoly equaled only
by the German Cartel.
A bit of the whitish liquid secreted by
this mollusk, if spread upon cloth
and exposed to the air and sunlight
turns first green, next blue and then
purple. If washed with an alkali soap
it becomes tlA magnificent Crimson
worn by the Cardinals and Princes OF
the Catholic Church. Tyrian purple
vanished from the marts of the world
with the fall ofTyre.
Synthetic chemistry learned the Sc
cret of making Royal Purple as, IN
deed, it learned to manufacture indigo,
the same deep blue that may be seen
today in museums, the winding sheets
of Egyptian mummies. 1t was an
achievement to snatch its distinctive
color from royalty and to rival the
best vegetable indigo of the an
clients but modern chemistry has
gone far beyond that. Today any kind
of dye found in nature can be made in
the laboratory. Indeed, among the 700
shades and colors being manufacturer ID
there are tints that it would be diff
cult to discern in the rainbow

to introduce foreign merchandise
into the commerce of the United
States, in competition with American
productions, no single oath by the
foreigner is required as to their value,
or is otherwise made necessary.
"It is absolutely impossible under
the existing law to gain accurate in-
formation as to foreign home market
values. Under our existing system,
every appraiser throughout the United
States is presumed every morning
that he goes to his Office to have
knowledge of the market value of
every imported article in every

mo appraising officer in the United

home market value in the country OF

Tea House Grows

And Attractive.

A charming and distinctive place

appearance in washington about
two weeks ago. when the Fedora
tion Tea House at 1884 n street
was opened to an appreciative pub
lie. Under the direction OF Mrs.
Duval Of the Dover House the
famous stable and garage back Of
the national clubhouse OF the Cen
eral Federation Of women's Clubs
has been metamorphosed into a
place Of rare beauty.
From the Dover House Mrs,
Duval has brought several pieces
OF historic furniture, notably an
Heppelwhite mahogany sideboarc
and Josiah Wedgewood tea ssrv-
ice and much old brass. To these
she has added more shining brass
and dull copper of exquisite de-
signs. making the whole a place OF
exceptional appeal.
Then. in keeping with the un-
usualness of the place. the food
served is different" too. in its
service and the food itself there {,
