Of our leading articles of exports
to Switzerland, Kansas wheat—in great
demand last year—was largely sup
planted by a fine quality of grain from
Russian and Rumania, offered at a
lower price; but toward the end of the
year there was an advance in the price
of wheat, irrespective of its origin, the
home crop having proved deficient in
Quality.
German chemists have seriously in
terfered with the business of indigo
raising in British India by the produc
tion of artificial indigo. The madur
growers of France are frightened by
the synthetic manufacture of that col
oring matter, and now the government
monopoly of camphor-making in For
mosa is threatened by a plant near
New York, which is making artificial
camphor.
The most serious menace to the
British industry is the Gorman inva
sion of the English markets. This has
been growing of recent years, and is
now a serious factor in the situation.
Woolen cloths and clothing "made in

The steady improvement of recent
years in the methods and processes
of American woolen mills ha? brought
the domestic fabrics to a standard of
quality and style which the English
manufacturer frankly admits is nearly,
if not quite, as good as his own. The
hope has been that the trade lost in
the United States would be made up
elsewhere, but this anticipation has
failed to realize.
The inhibitory measures in Germany
against the importation of foreign cat
tle and meat products have greatly ad

In the consumption thereof, as the
middle and working classes can not

ed. In consequence of this, the con
sumption of fresh, dried ard salted
fish has largely increased.
The demolition of the Eiffel tower,

shall be performed. The removal of

that it is commencing to lean.
The Chamber of Commerce of Chem

FREE TRAIJE OF TWO KINDS.
That AMMiireil by H«»i»til>lici»Ti Protec
tion U Preferred by tbe
People.
There are democrats who deny that
theirs is a free trade party, But it
cannot be denied that many men of
prominence in the party are out and
out free traders. Who ever heard of a
republican addressing a free trade
gathering? One night recently, how
ever, Hon. J. S. Williams, of Mississippi,
the democratic leader in the house of
representatives at Washington, was a
guest of honor at the banquet of the
free trade league in Boston, and in the
course of his speech, an earnest plea
for a "tariff for revenue only," he made
this statement: "The goal of the race
of tariff reform is tariff for revenue
only, and the question is, How are we
going to reach it? * * * As for free
trade, the chief factor in the industrial
progress of our American people has
been the absolutely free trade condi
tions that have existed from the At
lantic to the Pacific, from the gulf to the
Canadian line."
Mr. Williams is a bright man, says
the Troy Times, but there is a singular
inconsistency in his argument. He
urges free trade as the goal to which
he and his fellow "tariff reformers" are
pressing, and then he cites the "abso
lutely free trade" in the United States
as an illustration of the advantages of
unrestricted commercial interchanges.
The fact is that the "absolutely free
trade conditions" in the United States
are assured through protection—and
this is no paradox. The constitutional
inhibition against the imposition of du
ties 011 products passing from one state,
to another serves to give the whole
country the benefit of the tariff bar
lit* raised at our ocean ports and on the
frontier against foreign goods, and be
hind that barrier our industries have
an unparalleled opportunity to develop
and have developed to an extent which
is the marvel of the world. We have
"absolutely 'ree trade" among 80,000,-
000 people, and we produce more and
sell more than any other nation on the
face of the globe.
That is the sort of thing we e/..'oy un
der protection, while free traders of
the Williams stamp would throw open
that incomparable market to the cheap
labor of the world and reduce the Amer
ican pay roll and the American standard
of living to the foreign level. The
American people vastly prefer the free
trade assured by republican protection
to the free trade which the democratic
party stands for and which spells ruin
to American industry.
JUDGE PARKER "KNOCKED."
Some One In Democratle Circle* Vina
Got 11 mer" Out
AtfnliiNt Him.
Now there is quite as much talk
about the possible opposition to Judge
Parker as a democratic presidential
candidate as there was a few weeks
ago about the sentiment in his favor,
says the Troy (N. Y.) Times. It is
evident that someone in democratic
circles is "knocking" the Judge. That
being the case it is in order to indulge
in surmises as to the identity of his
enemies. One of these gentlemen, a
democratic member of congress, name
withheld for prudential reasons, is
quoted as saying:
"If Judße should bp nominated
and elected president, he would look over
the heads of a'.l the party workers when
he took charge of the white house. He
would treat us worse than did Cleveland.
Those men w ho have served their lifetime
on the bench have no .sympathy with poli
ticians and party workers, and they know
very littiei, if anything, about men or poli
tics."
It is awful for a democrat to be sus
pected of the fearful crime of "looking
over the heads of all the party work
ers" just as Mr. Cleveland did, but it
seems a good deal like a trumped up
charge. Wonder if any of Mr. Gor
man's boomers are responsible? And
how good and pleasant it is to see the
democratic brethren dwelling together
in such undisturbed harmony!
Olney Will Kun.
The announcement from Boston
that Hon. Richard Olney. ex-secretary
of state, has consented that his friends
shall formally launch his boom as a
democratic presidential candidate, will
be received with interest in many quar
ters. That 'will not be lessened by the
further intimation that Mr. Olney has
confided to Mr. Williams, the democrat
ic leader in the house of representa
tives, his hopes of securing the prize.
Mr. Williams i • from Mississippi, and
the assurance ;hich he is said to have
given Mr. Oln •/ that the south will re
ceive the M nsachusetts statesman's
candidacy in a kindly spirit may well
arouse some tumultuous emotions in
several other breasts.—Troy Times.
O'With Gorman at the head of the
democratic ticket, it wou'd be rather
hard to get up any excitement about the
election. The result would be so plain
from the beginning that the country
would not bs v«_.y enthusiastic one way
or the other. There would be a lack of
Interest in the canvass which might di
minish the republican \ote, too. If the
democrats nominate the Maryland man
they will be playing into the hands of
their enemies very skillfully—St. Louis

be a disposition to regard that coming
democratic harmony dinner in New

ICGo\. Terrell, of Georgia, leader of
the democratic, party in that state and
prospective Unit:d States senator, has
made a speech strongly indorsing Presi

cannot be construed as such. The south
wants the canal. —Indianapolis Journal.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1904.
LEADERSHIP OF GORMAN.
Southern Democratic Joiirnnla Op«
fMiMcil (» 111 m Attitude on the
I'liiiaiiiti Tri'uty,
Is Mr. Gorman reading the leading
southern newspapers these days? If
not, it might pay him, as a presidential
candidate to do so. They are devoting
considerable space to the Panama canal
treaty, observes the Washington Star,
and are urging ratification upon south
ern senators as a duty they owe to their
party no less than to the country. The
defeat of the treaty, they assert, through
the instrumentality of the democratic
party in the south would give the repub
licans a walkover next year.
The Atlanta Constitution (democrat
ic) is very emphatic on this point. In
a recent issue in a double-column edi
torial it says that if the democratic sen
ators defeat the treaty the republicans
next year, making an issue of the act,
will "win a hands-down victory over
the democracy." It applauds the atti
tude of Senators Bacon and Clay, who
are opposed to caucus action against
the treaty, and urges them to stand
fast.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
(democratic) speaks quite as emphat
ically, and declares that, "whatever
chances the democracy may have"for
success next year "will be effectually
destroyed by any opposition it may pre
sent as a party to the construction of
the Panama canal."
The American, the leading repub
lican paper of Maryland, reminds Mr.
Gorman to-day that the interests of
Baltimore are involved in the canal con
troversy; that the waters of Chesapeake
bay How in the direction of the isth
mus, and that in opposing the canal
treaty he is working against the inter
ests of his own home people.
Mr. Gorman is said to have a con
siderable following in the south as the
result of his part in the defeat of the so
called force bill some years ago. Can
he afford to estrange it by fighting this
isthmian waterway, in which the south
is so vitally interested? Or does he
think that the south is safe for him in
any event and that the proper play is
for greater support in New York, where
the trusts and railway interests opposed
to the eanai .'enter?
ROOSEVELT AND PANAMA.
Democrat!* Iluve Fulled in Their EN
forts to Make tin I sn in*
of It.
There has never been the least pub
lic response to the charges and insin
uations that have been made against
the administration in connection with
the Panama affair, says the Dea
Moines Register and Leader. No one
believes that the president incited the
Panama revolution because, for one
reason, no one believes that it was
necessary for him to incite it. If any
intelligent man were looking for 20
reasons, any one of which should be
sufficient to account for the uprising,
the last one he would think of would
be American interference, because in
a land of semi-annual revolution, peo
pled by the descendants of Spanish
adventurers, in a tropical climate,
any ordinary revolution would gen
erate, be fought out, and become an
cient history, before cold-blooded An
glo-Saxons, accustomed to peaecable
diplomacy for their victories, would
wakp up to the f{vt that a disturbance
was necessary.
If any democratic leader could have
made anything of the Panama issue.
Senator Gorman would have suc
ceeded. He has failed to impress
even the bitterest enemies of the
president, in his own party, while the
country at large treats his attitude
with indifference, and will continue
to so treat it, unless it becomes evi
dent Jhat he inlands to adopt ob
structive tactics to postpone a ratifica
tion of the treaty, in which event a
feeling of indignation will be aroused
tiiat will make itself felt even in tha
senate chamber.

London, Jan. 14. —-A dispatch from
Tokio says that Japan's answer to
the last Russian note was handed
Wednesday afternoon to Baron l)e
Rosen, the Russian minister, and
that negotiations will be continued
without any time limit being set for
their termination.
The demands which Japan is said to
have made, according to reports pub
lished abroad, have caused some sur
prise in Tokio according to the dis
patch, and it is now stated that
Japan never asked for the evacuation
of Manchuria, but on the contrary
frankly recognized Russia's special
interests there and her right to pro
tect them. Japan only demanded the
realization of Russia's voluntary
pledges respecting China's territorial
integrity in Manchuria and the free
dom of residential rights and inter
national trade therein.
The Seoul correspondent of the

St. Petersburg. Jan. 14.—-There is

expended the special appropriation of
$500,000 for a.nti-trust prosecutions.
A detailed statement of expenditures

The attorney general submits a
statement describing the nature of
the cases prosecuted, beginning with
the Northern Securities case, now
awaiting decision by the supreme
court.
The beef trust, case he describes as
"a proceeding in equity brought tin
der the anti-trust act in the northern
judicial district of Illinois, to dissolve
an alleged unlawful combination and
conspiracy between seven corpora
tions, one partnership and 23 individ
uals, engaged in the business of pur
chasing live stock, converting the
same into fresh and cured meats, and
shipping and selling the products to
dealers and consumers throughout
the United States and in foreign

act against 14 railroad companies, of
which eight are pending in the
United States circuit court, for the
western district of Missouri and six
before the same court for the north

"The object of the proceedings."
the attorney general says"was to
break up tin unlawful combination
between the ra.ilroad companies and
certain favored shippers, whereby the
latter were granted rebates or con
cessions from the published rates of
the railroads for carrying grain and
other products from one state to an
