Tho Tribune thinks that the mer
chant who does not advertise In It dis
plays poor judgment; but at the same
time It does not for that reason circu
late slanders about him and try to In
jure his business. It docs not exist on
the proceeds of blackmail.
Mr. Dlngley's Own Analysis.
The parent and sponsor of tho new
tariff bill, Hon. Nelson Dlngley. Jr.,
contributes to the Philadelphia Press
an extended review of the revenue fea
tures of that measure together with
a forecast of the probable results of
its operation which greatly Illumines
and clarifies the subject for those who
do not profess to be tariff experts.
As to the amount of money which It
will raise directly from customs duties,
his Idea Is that the annual sum after
the effect of anticipatory Importations
shall have ceased to be noticed, will
amount approximately to $225,000,000,
as against about $150,000,000 under the
Wilson law. For the first year he pre
dicts a return of only about $183,000,000,
Inasmuch as $40,000,000 has already
been lost through the rush of Imports
In anticipation of the new tariff's en
actment. From Internal and other
sources exclusive of the postal receipts
he expects a revenue for this year of
$185,000,000, making $370,000,000 alto
gether; or about $5,000,000 more than
the government's annual average ex
penses. Under normal conditions the
bill ought therefore, to yield a surplus
of $45,000,000, which can be applied to
the extinguishment of the public debt.
Of the $75,000,000 of revenue which
the Dlngley bill Is-expected to raise
ubove the amount now raised by the
Wilson bill, $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 Is to
come from luxuries which in the Wil
son bill-, -escaped untaxed. The re
mainder of the additional revenue will
come mainly from sugar. According to
Mr. Dlngley It Is this Increase which
raises the average equivalent ad val
01 em rate of his bill apparently above
that of the McKinley bill, which ad
mitted sugar free. He adds: "Tho aver
age equivalent ad valotem, estimat
ed on the basis of the values of 1893,
Is about 50 per cent., Including the duty
on sugar. Excluding sugar, the aver
age does not exceed 48 per cent.,
against 49V4 per cent, under the tar
iff of 1890 and 40 per cent, under the
tariff of 1894. But the difference be
tween the 40 per cent, of the present
tariff and the 4S per cent, (excluding
sugar) proposed, properly distributed
on protective lines, Is the difference
between life and death. We have
heard much reckless denunciation of
the proposed tariff as 'the highest ever
known,' but, as a matter of fact, the
average ad valorem of the tariff of
1824 was 50', per cent., and 61 per
cent, in 1S30, 4RV4 per cent, in 1S67,
and this, too, before undervaluation
became a science."
In coirectlon of a delusion which the
Mugwump coterie of frse traders re
volving around Grover Cleveland has
Insidiously fostered, Mr. Dlngley re
marks: An Impression exists In some minds that
a tariff constructed on protective lines is
antagonistic to revenue. It would be a
sufficient answer to such a contention to
point to the fact that all our revenue tar
iffs since mi have been greater revenue
producers than any tariff for reenue only
ever put Into law in this country. The
tariff of 1S90, knowing it surrendered from
$;0,000,000 to $60,000,000 of revenue by plac
ing sugar on the free list, yielded nearly
$177,500,000 revenue from customs in tho
fiscal year beginning July l.lS92,nnd would
have undoubtedly yielded $220,000,000 reve
nue in the fiscal year beginning July 1,
3893, if It had not been for tho result of tho
November elections of 1892, which pro
claimed the overthrow of our protective
pollay and disarranged our industries
and impaired the consuming power of our
people, and thus cut down revenue, while
tho present tariff, heralded as a revenue
tariff, with 40 per cent, duty on sugar,
yielded only $152,000,000 in the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1B93, and would not have
yielded in the fiscal year Just enled over
$110,000,000 If it had not been for anticipat
ing importations to avoid the new duties.
It Is very easy to predict misfortune,
and that kind of work comes natural
to the men now In control of the Demo
cratic party. But Mr. Dlngley's guess
as to the popular effect of the operation
of the bill with whose drafting he had
so much to do Is certainly entitled to
as much faith, pending the actual test,
as are the direful prophecies of his an
tagonists. "I believe," says he, "that
this proposed tariff framed so as to
secure adequato revenue for carrying
on the government and at the same
time with duties so adjusted as to open
up new opportunities for our own labor,
will be the beginning of that prosper
ity which was dispelled In 1892, after
thirty years' continuance." The coun
try will soon have an opportunity to
perceive which kind of forecast Is the
correct one.
Was It a special providence that Tom
Heed was not nominated at St. Louis,
but reserved for the Important mission
which he has so ably performed as
6pea);pr of the extra session?
Inopportune and Unwise.
Dispassionate consideration of tho
subject of currency reform discloses
certain truths which need to bo borne
In mind, especially If this subject Is
Boon to be pushed to the front as an
Issue o'f partisan politics:
(1.) Among the masses little thought
has been given to the structure of our
currency system, but every one knows
that for many years, with the currency
just as It Is today, wo enjoyed tho
best period of prosperity In tho na
tion's history. It will take woik to
make these people believe that a cur
rency which then offered no apparent
obstacles to go6d times should now, of
a sude.n, be sent tu the junk pile.
(2.) Ehe'Jeadenj In the movement to
retire, .the greenbacks and substitute
banH, fifties are principally
bankers;
and In tho light of the past few months
it ought to be apparent ns a phenome
non of political significance that many
Americans, Justly or unjustly, vldw
with distrust tho effort of bankers to
shnpo currency legislation.
(3). Having come through a long
period ot agitation and tribulation,
during which they were once beguiled
Into a quagmire under tho siren plea
for "tariff reform," It causes tho peo
ple more or lcs3 uneasiness to see tho
same men who betrayed them then ap
proaching them now with another plea
for another kind of reform. The second
plea may be founded on solid argu
ment, and some reassurance Is afforded
by tho Identification with It of a few
eminent Hepubllcans; but upon tho
whole the coincidence that tho chief
cooks and bottle washers of this second
"reform" propoganda are the same
chaps who served In a similar capacity
during the Ill-fated experiment with a
deficit tariff Impresses the majority of
plain Americans unfavorably and they
prefer not to bo bothered with any
more "reform" agitations Just at this
time.
Our good natured president has ap
parently permitted these free trade,
gold Democratic allies of lost fall's
campaign to persuade him Into lending
perfunctory support to their latest
project for gaining public prominence;
but when the time comps for this sub
ject to be taken up by congress there
need bo little fear that .any measure
will pass either the present senate or
the house until It shall have been
thoroughly cleansed of every taint of
Mugwumpery.
m '
Not all the labor leaders are against
Mr. Powderly. One of his warmest ln
dorsers Is President Ratchford, of the
United Mine Workers. His antagonists
appear to be principally the hot heads
and the demagogues. Such opposition
cannot prevail In the senate of the
United States and Is In effect the high
est kind of a compliment.
Has Probed a Sore.
Sir Wilfred Laurler, Canada's volu
able premier, whose visit to London to
attend the jubilee and get knighted
seems to have constituted the feature
of the year, judging from the fuss made
over him, has been Interviewed by the
Times on the blunders of the United
States. The cable brings only a line or
two of quotation; but from this we
gather that our greatest blunders have
been: The giving of excessive power
to the Republican party after the war;
and a too wholesale application of uni
versal suffrage. We dare say Sir Wil
fred had on his tongue's end several
more, but if he mentioned others the
cable Informs us not.
It Is not Important what the premier
of Canada thinks concerning the ex
periment called the United States; and
his allusion to the Republican party
can be regarded only as playful In view
of the unexampled prosperity which at
tended our people during the post-bellum
ascendancy of that party a pros
perity which ever since has been the
marvel, not of North Amerioa simply
but of the world. Sir Wilfred could
scarcely have meant his first "blunder"
to be taken seriously, even though he
is reputed to cherish some feeling of
disappointment with reference to the
Republican party because of Its recent
disinclination to entrap itself In his
cunningly laid reciprocity snare. But
the second criticism offered by him Is
more deserving of attention, especially
In view of the fact that It coincides
with the opinions of some of our clear
est American thinkers.
As used by Mr. Laurler the term
"universal suffrage" Is of course a fig
ure of speech, since In this country
while we have extended the franchise
with a greater prodigality and reck
lessness perhaps than was ever before
known in the history of representative
government, even we have not yet
made the suffrage literally universal.
But have we not extended It further
than was prudent or wise a great deal
fuither than the results appear to
justify? Is It not true that a con
dition which permits, not rarely but
frequently, indeed, habitually, the vote
of the purest and best citizen to be
neutralized at the same ballot box on
the same day and perhaps In the same
minute by the ignorantly voted ballot
of the citizen who Is so dumb and In
different that his favor may be won
by the candidate or the party that pur
chases It last with cash or a glass of
beer Is essentially incompatible with
healthful and wholesome government
and therefore menacing to the future
of our free institutions?
Here Canada's premier has surely
probed a sore in our body politic.
Tu the average mind the ado which
has been occasioned over the alleged
tecelpt of news by carrier pigeons that
Andree has found the North Pole seems
ridiculously out of proportion to the
credibility and tho sufficiency of tho
evidence. The main benefit from spec
ulation upon the subjest lies in the
fact that it keeps the public mind out
of mischief and to some extent ameli
orates the torrldlty of July.
m
According to present plans the Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania will Indorse
the Prohibition nominee for state treas
urer, Rev. Dr. Swallow, and spring
.a nigniy moral campaign of reform.
There doesn't seem to be any Incon
sistency from which the Democracy
will shrink if spurred by the hope of
capturing office.
The resignation of President An
drews of Brown university was the
only answer he could make to his crit
ics on tht board of trustees without
sacrificing his self-respect. It prob
ably ends the usefulness of that uni
versity but it compensates by offering
deserved rebuke to bigotry and nar
rowness. Thero Is something truly sad In the
serious ton In which the British press
dwells upon the possibilities of a war
between England and the United
States. Have the political morals of
England fallen so low that her govern
ment would sooner go to war than deal
fairly?
The refusal of Senator Scott, of Lu
zerne, to acknowledge the neat little
auditor-generalship boomlet so gener
ously offeied to him by tho political
gossips of Philadelphia will reassure
his friend, Major McAuley, and also
prevent Jealous feelings In the breast
of Hon, John Lelsenrlne. Hence there
J la no apparent reason why gentle peace
should not fold her snowy wings and
all the state be calm.
An association for tho protection of
tho human race has been formed In
New York, one of Its Ideas Including
tho electrocution of deformed, Idlotlo
and constitutionally dlsoa&ed children,
all maniacs, all persons bereft of any
of their tenses and all old persons
whoso faculties show signs of Impair
ment. In addition, marriages are to
be determined on scientific grounds
and love is to be held as a superstition
of the past. The carrying of such a
programme Into execution would pro
vide some decidedly Interesting news.
Tho deduction from Hastings' veto of
tho Becker bill would seem to be that
If Penrose wants to unhorse Martin
In Philadelphia ho must do so through
the Philadelphia primaries. That, af
ter all, is the fair way to fight.
Judging from thewear and tear which
Senator Andrews' recent visit to Scran
ton wrought on the editorial gray mat
ter In the sanctums of the state, the
gentleman from Crawford ought here
after to travel Incognito.
The report that Carl Schurz was be

Let Annexation
B? Oiir Answer
From tho Philadelphia Press.
Count Okuma, Japanese minister of for
eign affairs, judging from two interviews
which have come from him slnco tha
question of the annexation of Hawaii has
been before the sonate, takes tho most
friendly interest in the affairs of tha
United Stales. Early in July he was
considerate enough to point out that we
should be satisfied in maintaining the In
dependence of Hawaii, and he then ad
vanced the argument, which has been
quite the feature of succeeding antl-an-nexatlon
comment, that In our continental
solidarity lay our strength and any ad
vance In the Pacific would weaken us.
In these suggestions Count Kouma was
undoubtedly following the lino of the di
plomacy of polite Indirection. However,
as annexation would not down, In his last
utterance tho astute Japanese statesman
grows a little shriller in argument, and
reveals the fact that the true reason for
his consideration lest tho United States
make a strategic mistake Is due absolute
ly to his recognition of the commanding
value of tho Hawaiian Islands to the
United States.
o
In a way that should shame the antt
annexattonists in Washington, Count
Okuma, dropping all disguises of disin
terestedness, proclaims boldly that tho
Hawaiian Islands now, but more partic
ularly on the completion of the Nlcara
guan canal, will be the great entrepot and
tho controlling center of commerce In the
Pacific, and that this gives them an In
ternational status. With far-seeing In
sight ho notes that the nation dominating
these Islands possesses not only potent
commercial strategic advantages In times
of peace, but In them has no less signal
defensive advantages In the more remote
possibilities of war. Inspired by this, ho
naturally attempts to throw the cloak of
international rights and the alleged spe
cial rights of Japan over the Islands and
boldly avers these conditions do not al
low the United States free action in the
question of annexation. And so he would
forbU It, possibly prevent It, nnd InsUt
that the United States maintain a shad
owy protectorate until, doubtless, Japan
was ready for the final stroke.
o
Having spoken so clearly, the reply of
tho United States should be equally cer
tain in tone. It should be annexation.
The approval of the pending treaty now
could not be called hurried, since the
whole question has been before congress
and tho country since 1&93. Tho argu
ments of C.ount Okuma. are all annexation
arguments. All that he says of the stra
tegic value of the Islands far-seeing
statesmen In the United States have long
subscribed to. And In this matter of
strategic value Japan Is evidently very
willing to take a hint from Great Bri
tain's note-book. This great nation Is
untiring In Its efforts to acquire points
of value for Its peaceful commercial de
velopment or for Its defense, be they tho
merest storm-beaten rock or sun-baked
sand-pit peopled by the lowest of man
kind. And It Is equally untiring In Its ef
forts to prevent other nations from pro
tecting their commerce or coasts in like
manner. Hence, In its opposition to the
annexation of Hawaii Japan but repeats
In Its own vernacular the favorite meth
ods of British diplomacy.
0
As annexation mci'aces none of Japan's
vested rights in Hawaii which Count Oku
ma talks about, and as Japan by no pro
cess of coolie contract Immigration,
neither by the Kalakaua treaty of 1871,
nor by tho labor convention of 1886, ac
quired a lien on the future relations of
Hawaii, tho solution of the whole prob
lorn and the sole reply the United States
should make to Japanese contention Is
annexation. As the United State3 by an
nexation will continue to deal Justly by
Japan, there can be no cause for real of
fense, since tho delusion of the hour In
Japan as to Its rights above and In con
travention of international law will van
ibh as soon as this government fulfills its
manifest destiny and Hawaii is a part of
tho territory of tho United States.
DON'T GO.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
It is very fascinating to read about
Alaskan possibilities, but don't buy a
through ticket to Seattle lnstanter. The
difficulties doubtless seem surmountable
to the stimulated Imagination, but re
member fact Is hard and real conditions
are not as rote-dreams make them. In
Its various news articles Illuminating the
present Klondike craze, the Press has
made plain to most who can run and
read tho folly of joining the rush to
Alaska, The season will soon close for
tho Yukon steamboats. The difficult
Journey by foot, by canoe, by raft over
tho Chllkoot Pass will soon bo without
a margin of safety for the traveler. Ono
way tho Yukon diggings are nearly a
month and a half distant ,n time, over
4,000 in miles, from the Pacific, ports.
Another way they are not so far as the
bird files, but according to the season the
journey lasts one month, two and may
hap three. And then, when there, one is
in danger of putting more gold In the
ground than Is taken out, and himself,
too.
Placer mining In the wilds of California
was Paradise compared with life In tho
Yukon Valley. Thawing frozen gravel In
sunless gulches Is net a picture of entice
ment. (And to reach tho Yukon at the
end of tho summer season for the tender
foot would be disheartening to a degree
tntTescrlbable. Nino months of winter,
and such a winter as tho Yukon knows,
Is no excursion experience. It Is better
to stay at home. Fortunately, the com
mercial companies cannot take any un
usual number Into tho Interior, and the
Juneau-Chllkoot route closes itself In the
fall to all but the most daring. Bo don't
go. If you have tho $3,000 which is said
to be the minimum of capital one can
safely depend on for sustenance until
luck is struck there are plenty of good
Investments elsewhere that may not bo
dazzling but will not mean so many foot
sore and heart-sick days. If you haven't
(5,000 by all means don't go,
o
And In addition to all this It should be
remembered that whll the riches of
Klondike seem certain, according to good
authority, every claim Is taken. This
means tho newcomers ot 1E97 must look
1 elsewhere, and looking elsewhere In Alas
ka Is not an encouraging experience.
Even tho natives keep out of the Interior
for obvious reasons. And again, while
tho gold that has come out seems formld.
able In total, how about tho gold going
In? If 6,000 men go In with the neoded
WOO or $1,000, or as somo say $5,000, as
capital, you have a stream of gold Alaska
waid, which reaches $2,500,000, $5,000,000 or
$23,000,000. To get that amount out of tho
Klondike slono would take years ot hard
labor. Gold there is In Alaska In plenty,
but It cannot be had for a! song. So It
will bo well for all budding boomers to
tako things calmly nnd think It over.
Better not go In this year of grace.

THAT ARMOR PLATE MUDDLE.
From tho Times-Herald.
A little more than a year ago congress
authorized the secretary of the navy to
construct three battle ships. Contracts
for their construction except for their
armor were Immediately made, ono be
ing with tho Newport News company,
ono with the Union Iron works of San
Francisco, and one with Cramp & Sons ot
Philadelphia. The vessels are named re
spectively tho Illinois, the Wisconsin and
the Alabama, and their average cost, less
the armor, Is $2,639,9S3. With their ar
mor and armament, ready for sea, their
average cost will be about $5,000,000. The
builders have progressed so far that the
ships are now ready for the armor plate,
but no armor plate Is forthcoming.
o
Armor Is an extra, so to speak, and It is
not a part of the contracts with the ship
builders that they shari furnish It. Tho
government does that, buying it from tho
armor plate manufacturers, and there are
but two of these concerns In the United
States, tho Bethlehem company and the
Carnegie company, and these have really
combined as one. They have made nil
the armor plato for our navy so far, and
there Is no question that they have re
ceived most exorbitant prices for It the
average being something like $5S0 per
ton. They have of course TJeen at an out
lay of millions of dollars In establishing
and equipping their plants, but taking
everything Into consideration it is gen
erally conceded that they have been paid
very much more than they should have
demanded. All this, however, was known
to congress when the three last battle
ships were ordered, but no action was
taken in respect to the price of armor.
o
Last winter, when an appropriation was
called for to meet the cost of the armor
plate for tho new ships, a great debate
occurred over the exorbitant prices that
had hitherto been paid by tne government
for armor, and a law was passed limiting
the price hereafter to bo paid by the sec
retary of the navy to $300 a ton. The
manufacturers maintain that they cannot
turn out the quality of armor demanded
by the government at that price, and
will not. Of course tho secretary Is pow
erless to compel them, and tho result Is
the vessels stand armorless on the stocks.
o
The secretary, after many negotiations
with the armor makers, at last procured
an offer from them to supply the armor
at $425 per ton, but this has Just been re
jected by congress, and tne $300 limita
tion has been retained. In addition to
this tho secretary of the navy has been
authorized, In case he shall find It Impos
sible to make contracts for armor within
tho limits fixed by congress, to take steps
to establish a government armor factory
of sufficient capacity to make armor.
This Is probably Intended as a gentle
threat to tho armor makers, though that
It will over bo seriously carried out wo
greatly doubt. If the government got to
making armor it would probably cost
$1,000 a ton, and be worthless at that.
Tho government once undertook to build
battle ships, and the Texas is a bright
and shining cxamplo of wnat it can do.
That noblo vessel of war nnks In the mud
every time it goes to sea!
o
It may be that $300 a ton is more than
tho government should pay for armor
plate and an excessive price for the man
ufacturers to charge, but what are wo
going to do about It? Do we want our
ships to rot on the stocks while the gov
ernment Is haggling over tho price? Sup
pose the manufacturers are right and
that they cannot make tho armor at the
limited price, do wo want "clieap" ar
mor? In a great battle one defective
plate might cost us a fleet, and it is for
Rattle that these vessels are constructed.
Tho right and proper Ur.ng to do Is to
get the armor at the best prlco possible
and complete these vessels. And here
after let congress, when It orders new
vessels, seT Its limitations as to price be
forehand. It will not then bo "put in a
hole," as ono senator expressed himself,
by exacting contractors and manufactus.
