General Ottolenghl. the military In structor of the present king of Italy, was a great fnvorlte of King numbert aud Queen Mnrghnrltn. He Is nn or thodox nebrew, nnd while he was military commander In Turin he never neglected to visit the synagogue. His example Induced Several otllcers of his nice who hml retiir" tariff question out of politics by the creation of a permanent tariff commis sion. Among those contributing their views Is Andrew Carnegie, whose state ment Is as follows: Editor New York Commercial la reply to your Inquiry my opinion Is that the tariff as a protective measure has lost much of Its Importance and Is now to be considered principally ln regard to rev enue. A permanent commission such as Is sns Stted would have to do something- and would therefore always be xneddlinc when what Is needed Is a period ot rest be tween changes. As for reciprocity there Is very little In It: ln my opinion, not enough to Justify the Irritation and disappointment incident to It I had the ETeat pleasure of knowing Mr. Clatne Intimately and of conferring with him upon this matter. His idea was that we should arrange reciprocity treaties with the South American republics espe cially, admitting their products free, which we do not produce here, and they In tum admitting ours free, but I know now that the South American republics cannot give us any preference without offending European nations, with whom they have Important commercial relations. The best plan is to make the tariff uni form to all nations, remaining, as Wash ington advised, "the friend of all nations, the ally of none." ANDREW CARNEGIE. The exact truth regarding tariff n vision 'and reciprocity has never been better stated. A tariff commission, feel ing obliged to earn its salary, would inevitably prove Itself a meddlesome nuisance, a disturber of business, a tinkering agency in a case where no tinkering Is wanted and where the best thing that can happen to all busl formed men. Both are agreed that the country wants nothing less than It wants a tariff commission. It would be tho fifth wheel- of our ecoacsdc coach and a mighty troublesome wheel at that A PLATFORM TO WIN ON. Sound Declaration by Sew York Re pabllemnx on Tariff and Treat. The declaratloas of the New York state Itcpublican convention of Sept. 24. 1902. on the subjects of tariff and trusts are as follows: The greatest national Issue Is the main tenance of prosperity. The pledge given by vnilUia McKlnley ot abundant work and good -wages, based on the passage of a protective tariff bill, has been fulalled. The Integrity of the protective principle must b preserved. That nrinciple is re quired to maintain the highest scale of American wages and the supremacy ot the American workshop. 'While we would encourage -business ea terprises which have for their object thft extension of trade and the upbuilding of our state, we condemn all combinations and monopolies, ln whatever form, having for their purpose the destruction ot com petition In legitimate enterprise, the lim itation ot production In any field of labor or the Increase of cost to tha consumer of the necessaries ot life, and we pledge tha party to the support of such. legUUUon as will suppress and prevent tha orgas tzatlon of such Illegal combination. These declarations reflect tho view of the greatest business state la th9 Union, the largest business community In the world. They take up the key note sounded by Senator Gallinger- prosperity Is the Issue and send It ness. all trade, all Industry, all l.ibor. Is f along. They demand the preservation ns Mr. Carnegie puts it, "a period of i of the protective principle ln all ts In? rest between changes." So as to reci procity. It is a mischief maker nt home nnd a trouble breeder between nations. A level tariff which treats everybody alike Is the only safe ground. On the question of turning over the tariff to n nonpartisan or bipartisan commission Mr. W. F. Wakcman, treasurer and general secretary of the American Protective Tariff league and former appraiser of the port of New York, d gentleman who Is well versed ln the principles of tariff making and collecting, says In the Commercial: "I am not authorized to aunouuee the opinion -of the American Protective Tariff league upon the subject of a per manent tariff commission, but I am sure that I reflect the opinion of many of our members when I soy that we have great confidence ln the lawful policy of legislation under present given up their faith to , . jluu ways mm uii-uus vuuiiuuicc vt the house of representatives is com posed of a majority and minority rep resentation of the two great parties.
