THE IMPENDING TARIFF 'WAR.
It is quite evident that a tariff war
wtth various European illations is not
to 'be avoided, says the Saint, .LLuls
Globa. Germany, France; Jljstrla, and
Belgium have ell eluded or are about
to exclude certain American products
from ftelr markets on various pre.
iexU, and there are unmistakable
signs of concerted acUon on their part
for the purpose of injuring our conv
mercj. The policy Is a retaliatory one,
plainly speaking'. That is to say, It Is
Intended to punish, us for the action ot
the Democratic congress in rescinding
the reciprocity treaties under which
those countries enjoyed certain advan
tages in our markets. So long at
those treaties were In force, our tradt
(was very profitable and steadily In
creasing, and the benefits derived from
it were mostly gained toy the farmers.
But the Democratic statesmen abol
tolled reciprocity because it had been
established by the Republicans, and
now we have the logical result in this
movement to prevent us from making
sales In markets to which we former
1y had free access. It Is unreasonable,
of course, to expect that foreign na
tions will continue to Jbuy from us
When we have practically forbidden
them to sell to us under conditions
mutually arranged, and our protests
against their present course are not
likely to be heeded.
,The laws give the president author
ity to meet this unfriendfly policy by
placing certain restrictions and pro.
hlbltiona upon Imports from those
countries; but, unfortunately, we art
not in position to resort to such a1
expedient. We cannot afford to shut
out foreign products, because we art
In sore need of the revenue which
comes from them. The present tariff
law does not yldld enough to pay
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, and a further lessening of the
recotpils would be a public calamity.
Thus, it will be seen, Democratic roll
has placed us where a great foreign
market for our products is in Immi
nent danger of being lost without an
dharvce of redress. If we exclude for
eign Imports on the ttt-for-tat theory
we simply make a bad matter worst
by adding to the troubles of the treas
ury. W are dn pressing want of all
the money we can get, and this is
a conclusive argument against the
Mea of throwing away revenue with a
view to brlnginc other nations to
terms in a commercial ' controversy.
The mistake was made when the reci
procity piVUcy was abolished, and the
only true ami satisfactory way to
correct it is to restore that policy.
But udh actMm is not to be expected,
until the Republicans again secure
control of the government; and mean
while we must bear serious losses as
the penalty of a species of tariff re.
form that la inimical to all the mate,
rial Interests of the country.
In tvi"y part of the country New
York, Boston, New Orleans, San Fran
cisco, Balnt Louis, and Chicago buta
nes men are taking a cheerful view of
the situation. The conditions are stead

,The cash holdings of th New York
banks, whit were $250,000,000 at one
time In February. 1S94, had shrunk to

Uie ac'.ion of some of our local ean
nr.rymen In forming a salmon propaga
tion society, Is a creditable move on
ih:-!r part, and a good example for oth
ers. Tneie Is reason to believe Ore
ff.m peopls generally and Astorlans
particularly, do not appreciate the Im
portance of the salmon industry to the
si-'ito. No gold mine in the. world has
produced the wealth and furnished the
tn.i.ioyment to the industrious that
fcu been derived from Astoria's can
ning linterests. Every citizen ought
to be a stockholder la a propagation
society. It Is to be hoped that the
movement will not be confined to the
men engaged in the packing buBlness.
Let an organization be formed broad
cn'j'jgh to take in everybody who Is
willing to aid and encourage the effort
to be made for the preservation of
tl Ih great resource.
A recent report of the new gold fields
of South Africa shows that the gold
belts have an east and west direction,
and are from live to twenty-five miles
wide. At various places within these
wining belts ancient workings have
been discovered. These. worKlngs are
generally several & aid red yards In ex
tent, and vary in depth from 25 to 50
fei'.' "As regards the economic condi
tions, labor, wood, and water are abun
dant and cheap. The cost of living is
low. The cost of transport at present
Is much against cheapness of handling
but this obstacle will be removed by
the railroads now In course of con
struction." The British Empire has helped Itself
liberally to large slices of Asia, Africa,
and Australians, to say nothing ot
numerous Islands of the sea. It would
be well now to have It distinctly un
derstood that the British flag shall
never fly over an additional foot ol
American soli, Bays an exohange. The
payment of colonial t-lbute to Europe
may be endured by other continents,
but Ami ilea for itself proposes to havt
less and not more of It.
Ncnv Knglnnd is still sending to the
relief of Now Foundland $20 to every

ter Is so busy at raking In new colonies
that It has no time to look after old
ones that are starving.
