Camping In Germany. The latest discovery in Germany Is —camping! R. Julien writes about It in the Berlin Tageblatt as "die neu e»jte Sommer-Homantik." "Like so ninny new things," he says,"the <»mi>ing summer amusement comes to us from the far west by way of France. American youths it was, pu- : pi!s, students, who first introduced it." s The Americans, he goes onto inform his countrymen, convinced that the ; comforts of life in cities tend toward \ •effeminacy, make a regular sport of <-amping. Not only during the sub- j mer vacation, hut often over Sunday ♦hey go—alone, in couples, in fam-1 Hies, in clubs —to forest or shore. ; Sleeping in the open air steels their j nerves, while rod and rifle provide ad- j ditional recreation. Mr. Julien sus- j pects that "Trapper-romantik" and j inherited ancestral love of adventure j throw light on this American spe cialty. Possibly, he adds, the paucity j •of "Krholungsstatte" has something to do with it. There he is, of course, j mistaken, but his guess suggests the ' main reason, no doubt, why the Ger- ' mans themselves have not heretofore known the delights of camping. A German never takes a walk or excur sion that does not end at an "Er- j holungsstatte"—a. tavern or beer gar- j den. Supply follows the demand, j and inns are so abundant, even in : out-of-the-way places, that tenting j seems a superfluity, if not an absurd- ; ity. For students, who, most of all, j might feel inclined to "rough it" un der canvas, dozens of special inns have actually been built in.the moun tainous regions fjf Germany. >lt re- ' mains to be seen, says the New York j Post, what effect fashion will have i in acclimating this new American fad, : ■which is said to appeal particularly tc j —«utomohilistsl Rules for Panama Hats. Mr. William C. Hesse, who is the ! government authority on Panama j hats, iiives the following rules for tht j care of your best Panama, says Tech | nical World Magazine. Don't crush j up a Panama hat as though it were ; a cloth cap. I.t cannot stand such j treatnn nt; it will break. The stories- j of the indestructibility of Panama | hats are untrue. Don't attempt tc! clean a Panama hat yourself except j with soap and water. It is folly to j use lemon or acid on this sort oi ' hat, and it is the height of folly to i let the irresponsible and ignorant ! street fakir do your cleaning, for he , invariably uses the rankest acid. Don't fail to brush your Panama at least j once a day. Straw hats should be i brushed as often as derby hats. I , brush mine twice a day, and it is as I clean at the end of the summer as it was at the beginning. Don't fail to remove a crease that may be any where in your hat. Such a crease is bound to cut the straw. Don't be careless of your Panama hat. Treat it with consideration, and it will last you all your life. One direct outcome of the Alge ciras conference, in addition to that for which it was called, is the open ing of the Kreat African empire of Abyssinia to western trade. The •French were building a railroad from the coast to Adis Ababa, the capital, but because of luternatioual jealous ies the work was interrupted lasl year. After the conference the situ ation was taken up by France, Great 'Britain and Italy, which have come to an agreement and made treaties with Abyssinia. The agreement guaran tees the integrity of the empire, the ' open-door policy, and commercial equality for ail countries. The French have resumed the construction of the railroad, but representatives of France and Great Britain have been chosen to places on the board of di rectors. : r Edison s method for building houses of concrete seems to be as expeditious almost as pitching tents, in a few jdays he proposes to furnish a resi dence that pi)j be in complete shape for the carpenter, the paper-hanger, [the painter and th»j plumber.

If Europe Marks Up Its Tariffs Against American Exports, Then We Should Be Ready to Play the Same Gamt. ,v The favorite device of the stand patters to construct a maximum and minimum tariff, taking the present rates as the minimum, would only complicate the situation further. That is to say, any such device, instead of giving us a basis on which to make bargains with foreign powers, would be generally accepted as a declaration or tariff warfare and there \yould be a prompt and all but unanimous effort made by the nations of continental Europe to place prohibitory rates on the imports ef all our finished prod ucts." —New York Journal of Com merce. But that is precisely what other gov ernments have done. Germany has marked up her tariffs enormously so as to mark them back again to the former rates —and not in all cases as low as the former rates —when we shall have been bulldozed into mark ing down our level and unvarying tariff for the espescial benefit of Ger many's competitive exports. Spain has lately gone into the mark ing up business with the same end in view. On the basis of her marked up rates Spain now proposes to make con cessions, and it is understood that somebody in Washington—the "Third House,"it is sometimes called —is filly enough to nibble at the bait and to seriously contemplate a limited reciprocity deal with Spain under sec tion 3 of the Dinglcy law. Peanut dickers ef this sort do not have to run the gauntlet of the Senate. They can be putin force by proclama tion merely. It is proposed, in return for Spain's splendid generosity in giving to cer tain American exports of the non-com petitive sort the benefit of the tariff which prevailed prior to the niarking up, tliimblerig game, to reduce our tariff rates on Spanish exports of argols, paintings, statutary, brandies, champagnes, vermuth and still wines. Thus we shall consent to be forced into giving an easier right oi way into our market to at least one product that will prove seriously competitive. Next to France, Spain is the largest producer of still wines, and she pro duces these so much cheaper than France that she is able to export larg9 quantities to that country. Still wine production <s an impor tant and a growing industry in the United States. It is one of the leading industries of the Pacific coast, while in some of the eastern states it brings into operation a million or more acres of land, and employs some thousands oi' wage earners and several millions of capital. By so much as we increase by lower duties our purchase o£ Spain's cheap wines we shall decrease the market for American still wines and inflict injury upon American agriculture, American labor and American capital. Such discrimination against an im portant home industry would, be open to adverse criticism even if adequate compensation were given and the deal was a square deal; but to sell out the grape growers and wine makers of a dozen slates for so paltry a considera tion as the marking down of tariff schedules previously marked up for the express purpose cf being marked down places this country in the pitiful attitude of the little boy forced by fear of the big bully to swap jack knives "unsight ana unseen." If we are going to be bulldozed by foreigners into lowering our tariff schedules, let use a least have some thing to bulldoze back with. Let us follow the European fashion and be prepared to do some marking up on our own account. The McCleary bill provides for this. tis better on all accounts to hold to the level and im partial tariff that we now have —a tariff that treats i.ll products of all nations (excepting Cuba) precisely alike —but. if foreign nations insist upon tariff cat lights, then the Amer ican cat should not be without claws. Good Politics and Common Sense. The decision in favor of the "stand pat" policy on the tariff question is l ood politics and common sense. The time for making a breach in our tariff walls is not yet at hand. The presi dent was elected, in 1904, on a tariff platform sound in every timber. He received the largest popular vote, and the largest popular majority ever given to a candidate for office in the world's history. That tremendous in dorsement by the people of the United States was an unfailing index of the popular sentiment on the tariff ques tion, as upon the other questions of the campaign. So far as is known the people have not radically changed their minds on these important is sues. They certainly have not had reason for any very radical, changes of sentiment. The widespread pros perity which then existed still con tinues. Th'iie is work in plenty for all who will work. Wages were never better, and all the conditions favorable to continued progress still exist. Why should the Republican party renounce one of its chief articles of faith, which the people have so enthusiastically in dorsed ? So long as well is well enough, why not let well enough alone, instead of entering upon experiments which have heretofore been proved to be imprac ticable? So far as issues are con cerned, the Republican hosts are ready togo into the battle to-morrow. There are men to a.'fend the policies as well as policies to defend.— Loa Angeles Times. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906. HOME MARKET AND THE TARIFF. Domestic Transportation Charges An nually Exceed Amount of Foreign Trade. Americans are much inclined to boagt of the vast foreign commerce of this country, which has suddenly shot upward, until now our exports and im ports total almost $:!, 000,000,0C0. But few perso.in ever think whit a mere bagatelle this is in comparison with our domestic commerce, the trade be tween different parts of the United States by rail-'ay, highway, river and canal, and by lake and coastwise ves sels. One significant sign of the im portance and value of this home trade is shown by the totals for railway earnings, now jumping upward at an annual increase of 10 per cent. Ac cording to a preliminary report of the interstate commerce commission, the gross earnings of the railroads of the United States, covering approximately 219,000 miles of road, will show, for (he fiscal year ending June 30, at least that rate of excess ever the $2,073,000,' 000 earned in the preceding fiscal year. Official statistics will not be re turned by some of the roads for sev eral months, but the increases that have been shown month by mqnth dur ing the year and the final reports of many roads give reason to believe that the expected 10 per cent, increase will be realized. If to this expected total of $2,280,- 000,000 railway earnings the freights collected for other transportation with in the United States in the last fiscal year were added, the gross amount would doubtless exceed $3,000,000,000. In other words, the mere transporta tion charge on our internal commerce amounts annually to as much as the total value of tho commodities han dled in our entire foreign tride. It has always been a principle of those statesmen who favored building up our home markets by a system of judicious protection for American in dustry that the home market was many times more valuable and im portant than any foreign market could ever be. In view of the fact cited above, it would be difficult to dispute this argument. This vast home mar ket has been developed largely by pro tection, which has provided employ ment for millions of manufacturing employes at the highest wages ever paid, thus creating an unprecedented market and the best prices for agricul tural products and other commodities which are often not deemed within tho influence of protective tariffs. To tear down our tariff walls and destroy this home market, in the chase for imaginary foreign markets; to throw several millions of workmen out of employment, and thus lessen the peo ple's power to buy and consume the products of the country's agriculture —this is the net meaning of the Dem ocratic outcry against Republican pro tection, and of the campaign for con trol of congress which the Democi"" Jc party is now waging. Any tariff in force for nine years is bound to develop iniquities, and doubt less present schedules are defective in some particulars. They should be re vised, and will be, if President Roose velt's aims prevail. But a Democratic congress will mean, not revision, but destruction. There is no reason to doubt that the country understands this, or to imagine that the country has any intention of turning congress over to the Democratic party.—Taco ma Ledger. Trusts or Farmers? More than $65,000,000 of American capital is interested in Cuban sugar and tobacco production. The Ameri can tobacco trust alone has over $40,- 000,000 invested, and tho sugar trust and the Havemeyers are heavily in terested in raw sugar plants. A south ern Democratic senator is a large holder of Cuban sugar growing stock, and a number of ether United States senators are "in"on various Cuban sugar and tobacco deals. Upon these facts the Cuban sugar and tobacco in terests largely base their hopes of a renewal of the reciprocity treaty which expires two years hence. Holders of nearly $100,000,000 in American buet sugar plants, American farmers who sell about $30,000,000 worth of beets a year for sugar making, and other j American farmers who grow cane | sugar, tobacco and fruits are hoping | that the treaty will not be renewed. It remains to be seen whether the trusts or the farmers will count for most when the Cuban treaty comes up for extension in the fall of 1908. A Question of Numbers. "If the Democratic party will do ; nothing to raise the dead and buried [ silver issue, and will take strong j ground for a revenue tariff and the | rights of the states, it will reunite it j self, and it will draw a great number { of Republican voters who are already I alarmed at the tendencies of their 1 own party."—Philadelphia Record. There is no doubt that Democratic j hopes for 1908 rest wholly upon Re publican disaffection. Without thfc j aid of tariff ripping Republicans in i Massachusetts, lowa, Minnesota and I South Dakota Mr. Bryan has not the slightest chance to be elected presi dent. Supported, however, by a suf ficiently "great number of Republi cans who are already alarmed at the j tendencies of their own party," hia election would be assured, it is only j a question of numbers. A Bit of History. j As a part of the record of the con- I gross campaign of 1906 the following [is worthy of preservation: "Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 25, 1900.

Charged with having defrauded the depositors, of the Keal ICstute Trust Co., ot this city, out of many millions of dollars Ado! )h Segal, a promoter of many enter prises; William F. North, the treas urer of the trust company, and Mar shall S. Coliingwood, the assistant treasurer, were arrested Wednesday at the instance of District Attorney Bell, who has spent nearly a week in investigating the affairs of the wreck ed institution. Segal was held in $25,- 000 bail and the two trust company officers in SIO,OOO each. They entered bond and will be given a hearing to day. This turn in the affairs of the com pany is only ore of the many sensa tions expected to develop in connec tion with the failure, which, it is es timated, will exceed $10,000,000 before the receiver finishes his investigation. The affidavits accompanying the warrants were sworn to by Walter C. Browning, a depositor and credtior of the Real ICstate Trust Co. They aver that Segal, North and Colling Wood, with Prank K. Hippie, the president of the company, who committed sui cide, and with other unknown per sons, defrauded the trust company "out of many millions of dollars," and that they fraudulently applied the money to their own use. It is further charged that Segal was an abettor to the embezzlement of many millions of dollars, and that North committed perjury in knowingly having furnish ed to tho commissioner of banking of Pennsylvania false reports of the value of the company's assets, re sources and liabilities. Oollingwood and North aiv also accused of having received money from depositors after they knew the company was insolvent. Adolph Segal, who is looked upon as the principal in the failure of the institution, had nothing to say after his arrest. He contented himself by referring all persons to his attorneys. Segal is a promoter of many enter prises in this city and Pennsylvania. To carry 011 his operations he borrow ed, Receiver Earle says, more than $5,000,000 for which he gave to Presi dent Hippie, the only man in the bank he dealt with, securities that were in -1 sufficient. It was at first believed i that Hippie did not benefit by his I dealings with Segal, but later devel opments showed that he was deep in I the schemes of Segal and a partner in some of his companies. A SULZER BOOMIET. It Is Let Loose by Opponents of Hearst's Candidacy for Governor. Albany, N. Y.—Two events of [ importance in preparation for the 1 democratic state campaign took place j here Wednesday. First and most ira ; portant was the conference of demo -1 crats from many counties of the state j called to discuss the situation in the I party, the central figure of which was < District Attorney Jerome, of New York. This meeting was aimed chiefly to prevent if possible the nomination or j endorsement by the state convention at Buffalo of William R. Hearst. The other incident was a confer -1 once of representatives of several radical democratic organizations from which emanated a statement criticiz ing Mr. Hearst and declaring in favor of the nomination of Congressman William Sulzer, of New York. At this conference was present Albert S. Dulin, of New Jersey, a close personal friend of William Jennings Bryan. In an interview afterward Mr. Dulin spoke in favor of Mr. Sulzer. The democratic conference was ad dressed by Mr. Jerome and others. Adjournment was taken to September 25 at Buffalo, the day and place of the state convention, and resolutions were adopted setting forth the views of the conference in opposing boss rule. WELCOMED HOME BY NEIGHBORS. W. J. Bryan Returns to Lincoln, Neb., After Circling the Globe. Lincoln, Neb.—William Jennings Bryan Wednesday night returned to his home, and the "home folks" wel comed him with every evidence of ap proval. It was a neighborly welcome, planned as such. Lincoln has more republicans than democrats, but last night there was no line of partisan division and the welcome extended to both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan was sincere and joyful. It is doubtful whether Lincoln ever held a larger crowd. It was a half holiday in the city, and every train from over the state arrived loaded down, bringing not only Nebraska people, but many from nearby states. The city was handsomely decorated for the homecoming, the fronts of business houses being a mass of flags and bunting, while in the residence quarters lithographs of Mr. Bryan in the windows, together with the na tional colors, were everywhere seen. The non-partisan nature of the recep tion was emphasized in every way. Welcoming addresses were made by Gov. Mickey and Mayor Brown, to which Mr. Bryan replied, expressing his gratification at being home aagin. Was $48,000 Shy in His Accounts. Vicksburg, Miss.—B. S.
