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

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?
