CHAMBERLAIN'S PLAN. lie A!aW«'n the Mistake of Mixlin* l T P Protection it ii ti Reciprocity. The London cable of July 20 brings ti • news that as the result of its pro tr i led Investigation of industrial con ditions the tariff commission of man ufacturers and business men appointed 1 / Joseph Chamberlain several months t ,o has submitted a report embodying tin 1 conclusion tliat the decline of the British iron and steel industry is due tot lie fact that the manufacturers of Am rica and Germany have secured control of the home markets by means of '....'a tariffs and an organized system regulating their export trade; that they are in a positron to dump their surplus products on the British and other mar kets irrespective of cost, and that the dumping could not be carried on except for the British system of free imports. The commission expresses the opinion that the situation can only be rem edied by a system of tariffs arranged as follows: "A general tariff consisting of a low 8i::li> of duties for foreign countries admitting British wares on fair terms. •'A differential tariff, lower than the general tariff, for the colonies, giving adequate preference to British manu factures and framed to secure freer trade within the British empire. "A maximum tariff consisting of comparatively higher duties, but sub ject to reduction by negotiation to the level of the general tariff." The report, which is signed by ftfty eijriit commissioners, is very bulky and gives tlie evidence of British manufac turers, the evidence given before the I ited States industrial commission on iron and steel industries, tlie organ i: n and working of German kartels, a •, i;ft amount of statistics, etc. it v, >uld seem that Mr. Chamber lain's tariff commission has taken a i: and imperfect view of the gen ivi! s.ibject of protection and that our ltritivi! cousins have much to learn 1 they are able to eompre -1 ;id protection in its full purpose and so ; ... Too much is undertaken at one i!) mo. Instead of presenting to the 1: h mind the plain question of so i. itig the fiscal system as to insure t o ii mo producer the benefits of the ii i iarket by the adoption of a tariff lan tij.it would make it impossible for 112. •• .1 producers to dump their sur- I i,a tin; British market, which v uld h:ive been an excellent start a 1 <•::-. tin; right road, the Chamberlain pi is needlessly and unwisely com ply. 1 by a scheme of preferential a.---} retaliatory duties. It would bo bri- ]•, we think, to do one thing at a time, to"go slow and learn to piddle." '1 i,o immediate dilemma is the success l'i I lii asion of tlie United Kingdom b; i- ign competitors. The immediate sobt'ii.u should lie how to shut out ti:: iijurious eoinpetition and give Bi'i labor employment. This ac coi: , osbed, a large part of the difli ci'.lty will have been removed. The ex pi ;v :i eof the I'nited States under ao. te protection should have been suo'.eiont to demonstrate beyond <jues tio!. that the preservation of the home marUoi is the tirst great slip toward THE DEMOCRATIC FALSTAFF ■jMiurig turn noiumg or roreign . -Ii need of protection as a mis of reviving British industry is taken for granted by the Chamberlain commission. There is no doubt that such a need exists, and there ought to be no serious difficulty in impressing that fact upon the Uritish mind. It is to be feared, however, that Mr. Cham berlain has bitten off too large a chunk oi' the fiscal question when he under takes to revive British industry and by means of preferential and retaliatory tariff secure a tight grip on colonial trade all at one operation, lie is ask ing a great deal when he asks the British people to swallow so large and so complicated a proposition at a single gulp. The American Merchant Marine. The registered tonnage of the Ameri can fleet of deep sea commerce was fourteen years ago 108,000 tons larger than it is today. Our deep sea tonnage today is not one-sixteenth that of Great Britain and less than a third that of Germany. These figures show that there is n necessity for the re vival of our merchant marine. The United States has developed the most marvelous foreign commerce of any nation in the world. We are sending into other lands nearly $.">,000,- 000 worth of American products and commodities every day, but it is a significant fact that American ships carry less than l» per cent of our ex ports and imports. The tribute paid to foreign ships for conveying mer chandise to and from the United States amounted to over $100,000,000 last year. Our country Is foremost in near ly all lines of Industrial and commer cial development, but it is lagging be hind even the smaller foreign nations in its merchant marine. The patriotic pride and the commercial instinct of our people suggest the improvement of our fleet commensurate with our com mercial needs.- Norwich (Conn.) Bulle tin. OBJECTIONS ANSWERED. ttjHupprehcnnlnnw Concerning tho firanec Corrected. First.—"lt costs too much." The cost compared with the benefits Is but a trifle. The revenues could not be reduced without crippling the work. Other farmers' organizations have been started on a cheaper scale, and they failed, in part at least, for want of funds. Second.—"Too much ceremony for busy farmers." Its ceremony Is not cumbersome. Ceremony is akin to system, and sys tem is essential to success in any call ing. The best drilled soldier is the most efficient in battle, and the most skilled artisan draws the highest pay. The grange ritual teaches beautiful and impressive lessons throughout. None can learn them and not lie made better. Third.—"lt is a secret society." It is a secret only in the sense of being private. It is not an oath bound society. It is no more secret than is a well regulated family or many branches of the Christian church. All of these conduct their private business in private. Were the grange less se cret and less conservative it would doubtless long since have gone the way that other farmers' organizations have gone. They came into being aft er the grange, proposing to eliminate what their promoters called the objec tionable features of the grange—cere mony, secrecy, conservatism and cost. They died, but the grange still lives. Fourth. "But the grange uses signs." Who does not? All use them because they are often more expressive and impressive than words, and because they can be seen and heard where words cannot. When any one calls at a private house he raps on the door or rings the bell. No one ever claimed that there was any moral wrong In this. Would it be wrong if by rapping it certain number of times or in a cer tain way he could tell to those inside who was without? What could armies, or railroad, or mines, or factories, or anybody or anything do without signs? Was not the Jewish and is not the Christian religion typical throughout? lted Hook, Pennsylvania State (1 range. AND THE ROSTER FOR 1904. John D. Reeser's Big Store, Bank Block, Dushore, FVnna.
