CHINESE AND JAPANESE COMPETI TION. Congressman Doollttle, of Washington, tvno has Just returned after an absence of two and iai half months from that slate, In China and Japan, makes the fol lowing strong plea in the last number of the American (Economist for the main' tenaoce of the policy of protection to our working-men against the ruinous competi tion that will commence in the near fu ture from the hordes of half-starved la borers In Asia? From my observations in these coun tries, the need of protecting the laborers of this country as against injurious com petition with these lands is made more evident. The people of my state are most injuriously affected by ,the abolition of protection on iwool and lumber, and the cutting dofwn otf the sarnie on bituminous coals. We tare brought thereby into direct competition with Uie cool mines of Brit ish Columbia, as well as other countries. The lumber industry in British Colum bia Is being Ibullded up t'hrough access, fforded by the Wilson bill, to the world's greatest lumber market, which for the last twenty-five years has been the Unit ed 'States. As you may be aware, forty billions of dollars have been expended, during the last mentioned period, In building ma terial, consisting principally of lumber, In the United States. Under the protec tive policy of the (Republican party, this lumber lias been cut from American for ests by American mills and the work has been performed by American labor. Five per cent of the lumber output of our mills has been sufficient to supply all foreign countries and we have supplied tlh Is demand Iby reason of being in the lumber business. Canadian forests have been but little molested, for the reason that they were not encouraged to com pete wlt'h our own people, to supply the demands of the United States, and there (was no considerable Incentive to the building up of mills or the establishment of this Industry to supply the small for eign need. And so It is along almost every line of Industry unbullded in the United States from the wise policy of protection. Labor 'has been benefitted Immeasurably, wages reaching the tilglhest mark ever known in the world. The intrinsic value of ut most every article produced has been on account of the labor expended In its con struction. Never was there a country in il'he world whose legislation has been to such an extent regardful of the labor of its people But now a change has come and labor and labor employing Industries tuffer and languish. I wish representative people of all lines of Industry might go abroad, especially to Asiatic countries, with t'helr swarm ing millions of tollers, and see the condi tions surrounding these men, their wlvs and families, and compare these condi tions iwltb the surroundings we have en Joyed in the Unlttd States under protec tive laws. It seems to me is. better in telligence upon these subjects would re sult from such observations. The Denver News politely informs Bee retary Lament that if his alleged tour of In spection of the West, which, by the way, did not inspect, was for the purpose of booming Cleveland for i third term, It iwaa time and energy wast' ed, and that the best thing the president can do Is to at range to give his undivided time to his third daughter and forget ali about a third term. This Is good ad vice, although we do not suppose the president will follow It. Whatever differ ences on the financial or tariff issues there may be between the East and the West, botb are 'United on the question of a Milrd term. In the case of Cleve' land it has been most plainly proved that two terms are more Mian enough. We shall not take chances on a third term for anybody. . Efforts to secure uniformity of leglsla. tlon on a variety of matters must con tinue in a country comprising so many different states, with varying systems of legislation, s are comprised within the territory of the United States. It is nat ural enough that among the earliest of these efforts to secure any marked meas ure of success must be included those par ticularly affecting commerce. This has been so from the beginning, when the ef forts to secure uniformity In the regula tion of commercial matters resulted In the more important political union under which the people of the country are liv ing today. Among the conventions to be held with a view of bringing about this desired uniformity is a national gather ing of commercial lawyers, wblch is to b held In Detroit, Mich., beginning on Aug ust 13. No doubt large share of the attention of this body will be devoted to matters specially affecting tlheir inter ests as practitioners, Ibut they can scarce ly fall upon coming together to arrive at some conclusions of interest and import ance regarding commercial subjects more closely affecting the general community. Regarding the personnel of the conven tion we are not informed, but it should Include a number of mea of the requisite ability and accumen to enable them to formulate a line of procedure along which the unification of commercial law may advance with the least friction and most desirable ultimate esults. Lawyers as a rulo are men having considerable influ ence in their respective communities, and they should prove weighty factors in stimulating legislation of the kind so much needed, in consequence of the grow ing commercial intercourse of the differ ent sections of the country. During the "f6ureajT"froir 1890 to 1803, inclusive, the average numlber of miles Of railroad built was 4,686 in each year. During the year 1S94 only 2,217 miles were built, less ittian half the average of the four preceding years. Either from lack of funds or lack of confidence, or both', the railroad companies were unable, or unwilling, or both, to extend their mile age (when the country was cursed with free trade administration. This falling off of more Mian 60 per cent In the demand for material and labor spread among air the Industries that are directly affected by railroad consumption. Now that they have an assurance of good times under protection again, there is more business activity In these directions. The declaration of the "Iron and Steel Bulletin" that Senator Gorman is the real leader of the Democratic party has a great deal of truth in it, but it arouses the wrauh, of Gorman's free trade oppo nents, who declare that praise from a po lltlcal opponent is equivalent to condem nation from a party standpoint. This assertion is often met with, but it rank nonsense. If everything were due to party and nothing to country, if party were aibove country, the claim of Gor man's free trade opponents might pass muster. There will be no new issue, says the New York Press, until a Republican pro tective tariff has taken the place of this Democratic tariff of debt and destruction. There will be no new Issue until American Industry stands where it stood In 1802, and American wages have been restored to the high standard that then prevailed. ELI HANDS "COIN" THE HATCHET.
