All communications should be ad dressed to REPUBLICAN NEWS ITEM, Laporte Pa., While the l>ingley bill floeg poC bin der our export trade it Hoes fkvork to liscourage the importation of Compet ing foreign goods. In consequence Df this the imports for 1898 wero the smallest for twenty yeara una showed i decrease of i?107,G7.'5,12l Over thef Im ports of 1897. That represents nearly n fiundrcd mil eight millions retained Id promote busines in this country, bu uveragc of ibout one-third of a million a day for Ihe year. Who can tell how much more business was done and how many more hands wore employed in this country ■ii account of this $107,073,121? That imount of money is capable fif doing i large amount of business, and tliero is no doubt that it did da n large imount of business. It lias helped the prosperity of the nation and.was a factor in the increase of all kinds of business in the United States last vea r. The Dingley law does not keep out ->l the country goods the people ilo no! manufacture and which the people do not need. This is shown by the fact that two-fifths of the total imports, or :ibout $240,000,000 worth, came in free of duty, I lie Republican policy is a wise policy. It opens American markets to toreigu trade free for all necessary ar ticles which do not compete with American manufactures. It preserves its own interests by taxing all other Kinds of foreign goods.—Norwich •Conn.) bulletin. HOW TO PLEASE ENGLAND. We are informed that "Tariff revi »ioii would be accepted by Kngland as the one indisputable i'roof of the friendly sentiments of the United States." It is easy to divine the sort of •'Tariff revision" Kngland would re yard as "indisputable proof of the friendly sentiments of the United States." Nothing short of a Tariff which would bo virtually a Free-Trade measure would he acceptable to Kng land. Our Angloinaniacs are aware of that fact and are quite willing to sacri tice Protection in the interest of a closer union with the country of their love. If their leadership prevails the Republican party will turn its back on the principles for which it so long bat tled and become simply a political or ganization to advance British interests in this country. Let us hope that the party of Abra ham Lincoln and of James <3. ltlaine will never sink so low as this. Today the advocates of imperialism, and of a British alliance, are the- enemies' in its ranks whom it has most to fear. They fire willing to sacrifice all the traditions of the party to carry out their plans, and it will not be at all surprising if in the near future they demand that the policy of Protection shall not stand in the way of these plans. N'ew York "Irish World SHOULD BE DISCOUR AC! Kl >. It is astonishing to see the amount of foreign advertising materials, es pecially in the line of enamel and lith ograph signs, which are used through out the country. American consumers can very easily put a stop to the use of foreign advertising matter by pat ronizing those who use that which is produced at home. As is well known, all signs usually carry an imprint showing the country where produced, and as the Administrative law of lsou provides that it is necessary to show the country of production, our readers can assist in giving the protection in tended by the law by withholding their patronage from those who use foreign advertising materials. The art of pictorial and ornamental advertising has reached in America a stage of development far beyond that of any other country. There is no need of patronizing foreigners on the ground of either quality or price. It Is a practice which should lie very gen era 11y discouraged. SHOULD nUxLD OUE OWN" SHIPS. Whether our registry laws stand or not, now. If the economic principle of cheapness is to govern our people in the purchase of new ships, they will ■onie to our own shipbuilders, instead of going abroad. It will be nil the more gratifying to our people as u whole to see American shipyards con structing the ships needed for the world's foreign commerce.and if some thing can now be done to induce our :>wn people to Invest in such ships.the development and expansion of Ameri can shipbuilding during the next fen eration will be on a pur with our rail road construction during the last. Trenton (N. J.) Gazette. A RAY OF INTELLIGENCE The cry for new manufactinyng in lustries comes from all over the State. I lOxeiiipt from taxation for ten years j ill who engage in manufacturing and llie result will be mostgratifying.—Lit- ■ tie ltoek (Ark.) Republican. In other words, adopt and putin practice the principle of Protection to home labor and industry which the South has beeu so foolishly lighting, for, 10, these many years. There is in tills resolve a ray of intelligence that iives promise of a bigger and broader light in the near future. Reviewing the course of British trade for 180S the London Economist iiays: Our exports to foreign eouutries fell off by £3,551,000, and on this side of the account, also, it is the trade with the United States that is almost solely accountable. That country paid us only £14,400,000 for our products, as :ompared with £21,000.000 in the prev ious year. The biggest falling off was In the worsted and woolen goods, the value of these being about £1!,200,000 less than in ISO". There were heavy decreases in other textiles, in tin plates, alkali and more or less in most af the articles separately classified. They are taking these heavy de creases in trade quite philosophically over there. Believing them to be in evitable, our British brethren look with resignation upon the loss of $35,- 000,000 of sales to and the gain of ai eiil larger amount in purchases from (lie United States. The only people who seem to be worrying about the matter are the American Free Trad ers, who cannot endure the thought of their own country constantly growing richer as the result of selling more limn it buys. WHY. IXDKED? It would seem from the tone of the Democratic papers now that there was x time when American manufacturers needed Protection. Circumstances forced the confession from them. Hear what one of them says: "Manufacturers are expansionists. They want to expand American com merce. All of which would seem to in dicate that lhe.\ don't need Tariff Pro tection." The Inference is that there was n time when the infant American manu facturer* did need Protection just as American labor needs Protection now. Why did not these papers and that party advocate Protection then instead Df opposing it with all their might?— Norwnlk tOhioi "Uefleetor." IT is \l,i:r\nv \ KAIT.UKE. Tlie decrease in exports from ilreat Britain last year is said to have so af fected the whole manufacturing cle ment that the idea of preferential Tar iffs between the home country and all Its dependencies, or some similar pro position. is likely to become a question of active domestic politics. This, of fourse is a Protective principle. If it Should be adopted, the whole scheme of Free-Trade, to which Croat Britain lias been devoted for half a century, would l>c admitted to be a failure.- Buffalo "Express." A few calamity journals still insist, that it is all a mistake, and that the present condition is not prosperity. Commercial and industrial reports nave no effect mi those fellows, Con litiotis ma\ change, but their tale of woe will l>e the same, and goon for »ver. Springliehl (S. 1 1.1 Times. By the way!

Judge Kini tial), in the Police Court, decided that the sale- of liquor on Sunday in Wash ington hotels was legal under the act :>f 18H3. Congress at lis recent session •uaeted a law prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sunday by makers, brewers, listillers or their agents, "or other per sons or corporations." and a test case was brought, it being contended that the recent act repealed the law of 1893. which permitted the sale of liquors by hotels under certain con ditions.
