Every one knows the free trade theory that "tf we don not buy we can not ell." as app'.leJ to our foreign trade. In other words, that If wt manufacture In this country aK the article required to sup ply ourselves, wlMiout importing any from foreign countries, then the latter win not buy our farm products or manu factured goods. This theory might have some basis, tu has 'been rhown aaln and again In the past, U International trade were the same as trade ibetween Individual per sons. But It Is not. The Frenchman who sells elites to American Importers does not deal In American wheat, or packed meats, or any other of our ex ports; the Importer in New York who buys of hkn does not have the.n to sell. Per contra, the English grain Importer who buys American grain is not a dealer In manufactured goods. He buys foreign cwiheat when he can to tho best advan tage, without reference to wher Ameri cans buy the goods they need. The American Economist has punc tured this free trade fallacy. It shows by .'the actual figure Its baselessness. Taking the statistics of our Import and export trade for the fiscal years ending Jue , 18t4 and 1896, as supplied by the bureau of statistics of the treasury de partment. It finds that our Import from European countries during the two years were as follows: - Imports from Europe. 1393 $383,686,842 JNM v 295,007,805 Increase, 180S $88,008,977 Thus It appears that during the year 1896, since the Gorman tariff went Into effect, we bought from European coun tries foreign goods worth $88,008,977 more than ws bought In 1894. Having Increased our purchases by this ;. "large sum of money In a single year we nat urally turn to the figures of our cx Dorts. exnoctln to find that we have increased In our sales of American goods by about the same amount of money, as Should be the case were the Demo cratic free trade theory correct.' But the facts are different. Here are the figures: llxpurt to Europe. 1884 $700,870,822 1895 f37,tt75,183 Decrease, IBM $74,895,889 It seem -that during 1893 we sold to European1 countries $72,89u,6SJ worth lens of our American products and manu factures than wo did during the fiscal year ending Juno JO, 1891. In the year 1893 we spent over $88,000,000 more money In European countries, and they spent $78,900,000 less money In this country. lVe . cortalnly bought imore from them, but, Instead of Wwlrfeturnlng the compliment, thoy bought less from us. Our lor for the year's flea! under the Gorman tariff, whlcih J only the first step toward free trade, exceeded $160,000,000. Undjr a lower tariff the disparity would be still greater. Thus Is th free trade theory effectually disproved. AWMY MANEUVERS. Once mors Germany Is engatfln In brilkmt army maneuvers and sham bat tles, and In . few days from now Russia and Austria wilt follow the example, wWll next month France and Italy wlK each be busy in mimic warfare. Ger many has always engaged annually In these displays, but Uvls year they seem to be on more extended scale and of a mor practical order than ever before. The mere drilling of men In the handling of new and'lmproved arm and the massing- of them on mimic battle fields has not been enough. The fording of rlvws and th passage of other obstacles that wouM be llkeCy to be met with In a real campaign aave each formed part of the soldier' duties, and the evident aim of the young Emperor Is to bring the mllttary arm of Germany up to a point of efficiency and perfection that would cast the equipment of the ivst of Europe Into the shade. There Is no wonder that these displays are being carefully watched all over the continent. France especially has Deen ruffled of bate. The commemoration of her defeat by Germany at Sedan caused old wounds to reopen, and these Maneu ver cannot Jiave helped to sooth th angry feeltng. Ar.d wnen Fran.-e knows that Austria can caH H,00O men Into tbs field, and that h, as wU a Italy, are th allies of Germany, ther Is little wonder that she U kwn-eyl and watch ful. And yet. after aJT. there la something to toe Oearaed from these displays of arm ed strength. They help to train com , man-Jers In the handling of large bodies J iif -troops, strvteglc and other problems' an b studied, wlille th soldiers them- lu'lvt' are mado mor efficient In their ( rr.::zry ami, in o::r rsrn rnuntry we seek to Improve the service of th Na tional Guard by envanrnraeiits, and sim itar plan might well be adopted with our tegular army. Such displays might seem small and Insignificant beside rhoso of Europe, but Utey would Jiave their uses, nor would they be a menace to the world. In Europe this experimental war fare might at some time turn Into .war In reality, for underlying the peace of that continent there Is a slumbering vol cano which may at any moment break out with terrible force and shake em pires amd dynatftie. The unfortunate and unsatisfactory re sult of thte International! yacht races, has been looked on by many newspapers throughout the country as hastening the death of yachting, and aM sorts of mel ancholy surmises have been made about the downfall of tluis form of sport fol fowlng on the Dunraven trouble. This Is sWeer nonsense. As long as our coun try pofcfcKWses Its magnificent sheets of water, and the keen and lnherenflove of the sea remains with the American peo ple, so long wilt yachting be indulged in, giving pleasure to tens of thousand of Its votaries. It would Indeed be a pity If this form .of recreation, one of the few clean, Ihealthglving and untainted tiports we still Jiava left among us, should die out. But there is no danger In this di rection. Nor do iwe beellve that Interna tional yacht racing has suffered any more than a temporary setback by reason of the "late unpleasantness." Great preparations are being made for excursions to Portland during the Ex position in October. These will be run from all points on the Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific ami O. . and N. Co.'s lines, Wit rates extremely tow. Espe cially on the days set apart for the Elks, Red Men, Workmen, Woodmen and other orders, iwKI these excursion be run to accommodate the thousands of thone or ders who desire to attend on those daya. EFFECTS OF THE GORMAN TARIFF. It Is not In so short a period as one or two years that the full effects of the Wilson-Gorman tariff will reveal themselves. But even In the brier term wnicn waa elapsed since that tariff went Into opera tion, we are enabled to see Its results In largely Increased Imports, displacing by so much the goods of American manu facture, and In relatively diminished ex ports. During the fiscal year ending June SO, for only ten months of which the Gor man tariff was In operaltiion, our Imports amounted to $383,6S6,812, against $295,077, 866 for the preceding year whlla the Mc- Klnley tariff was In operation. This shows an Increased Importation of $88, C08.977 under the Gormain tariff. And of this gain to the trade of foreign countries at the expense cf American manufactur ers, $51,746,000, or nearly 60 per cent, goes to Great Britain, the remaining 40 per cent being divided chiefly among France, Qermany, Belgium, Italy, the Nether lands and Switzerland. So far as the re duced duties have the effect of restrict ing American production byv rendering the manufacturer unable to compete with the foreigner, 1t cannot fall to have a disastrous Influence on the Industrial development of the country. All through the last presidential cam paign the attempt to establish a tin plate Industry In this country unrtur the Mc Ktnley tariff was the stock subject of Democratic derision. It was everywhere Jeered at by the 'Democratic speakers and newspapers as a failure Its alleged successes denounced as frauds. Forced at last to recognize the fact that as a result of the McKlnley tariff a tin plate industry of great proportions had grown up In this country In the short cpace of three years, they affected to find a tri umphant vindication of the reduction of duties on tin plate under the Wl'. son Gorman bill In the fact that the tin plate manufacture had survived this 'at tempt to destroy It. The fact was glee fully cited that the American tin plate mills were successfully competing with the WeJc'hmen In spite of the reduction of duties. This wia temporarily true during the unprecedented low prices on steel and the low wages, which form 96 per cent of the cost of tin plate, result ing from the depression of trade and in dustry which followed the electron of a 'Democratic president and congress. But It Is now announeed that In consequence of the considerable advance In the price of steel, all the tin plate mill's In this country will be competed to cCose MicS doors. Under the McKlnley tarfff thwo had sprung up In this country 137 of these tin plate mills, employing ai capital of $10,000,000 and from 20,000 to 30,000 men. If tho McKlnley tariff had been continued for five years longer, this Industry would unquestionably have been developed! to such proportions as to have supplied the entire American demand for tin plate and rendered this country entirely inde pendent of any foreign eourco of supply, Under t'hs Wilson-Gorman tariff the in dustry is being strangled to death by the competition of the foreigner. Proba bly before the end of six months, unless there is some improbable reduction in the price of steel, every tin ptutte factory In this country will be c'.osel Tho leading manufacturers predict a shtortor lease of life for It than that. So that one achieve ment of the Wilson-Gorman bill will be to annihilate this great and growing In dustry, and this Is a fair ttujtratlpn of it effects, more or less pronounced, along the whole line of American Industries which were flourishing tinder the foster ing care of the Republican protective policy. AN UNADULTERATED HUMBUG. Ptonee.- Press. RraiWtreefs, a non-polltteal Journal Whlih usually knows what It Is talking about when It deals with business ques tions, says: "The rapid advance In tho price of crude steel has placed the tin plate Industry In a very precarious posi tion where the question of a mere exist ence tbecoima a serlou problem." But the Globe, wale'H doesn't know what it is talking about, aeta down our reft-renco to the ImprellCed condition of th tin plne Industry In this country as un a'JuL'terated humbug. As proof that It Is "the most unadulterated humbug In the whole protectionist library of horrors," l; cites Kb fiMit that a concern In this city hj'i recently made a contract for a large amount of this plate, to be supplied by an American firm, at 36 cents per box tUt than the price Charged by the Welsh factories. This woul'l be Interesting, If It were true. C-nJy U Isn't true. As the duty on tin plute I about $1.20 a box and ihe frelglvt to 'New York from 10 to 15 cents, no 'American tin plat manufacturer wou'.d be fool enough to sell tin plate at Ws ttvan It can be bought for from the WcltflKiien, -when he cannot make a llvliur profit . by selling at the Welsh pries with rh duty and ocean freight added. Th contract for tin plat re ferred to was at substantially the Welsh prlc with the duty and ocean freight added. The fact that a iRrgs tin plate manufacturer with a heavy Investment In machinery Is forced to accept prices which afford him either no margin of profit or so I ft tie that he would be glad to get rid of the business If he could, en hardly be cited as a proof of the satisfactory stats of tbHa Industry. Dur ing th rre dopremlon of trad and In dustry In 1SU and 1894 It ws a common thing for th manufacturer of nearly a'l kind of good to b glad to set them at cost or rr ttmn cot. We bars never happened to hear of anybody citing this condition of things as evidence that the Industries thus kept alive at great lois and sacrifice wore In a flourishing state. It 4s Just as absurd to apply the sttne reason to the tin plate manufacturers. Threo years ago the Democratic news papers and stump orators were Indus triously denouncing the alleged develop ment Wf a large tin plate Industry In this country In consequence of the Mc Klnley tariff as an unadulterated hum bug. Now they Insist not only .that no tin plate was made In this country, but that It couldn't be made. Now they tell us that the tin plate Industry has grown and flourished to such an extent that any statement that It Is no longer profitable under exiting conditions Is an unadul terated humbug. The difficulty In both casss might be supposed to arise from lack of precise Information. As a mat ter of fact, it was supposed to be for the political Interests of the Democratic narty In 1892 to dony that the Repub lican tariff had resulted In laying the foundations c a great new national In dustry. Now It U for their political Inter est to deny that It U being destroyed by the Democratic tariff. WHIP TiiBM OUT OF SIGHT. Philadelphia Times, Dem. What Is called the State Democratic convention of Nebraska has nominated a state ticket for Justice of the supreme court and regents of the university, and adopted a platform squarely In favor or the free coinage of silver on the basis of 16 to 1. It Is known that the sound money Dem ocrats of the state took no part In the election of delegates to this convention, but whether It can be called Democratic or a mere faction of the Democratic party, the state ticket ought to be beaten out of sight, and every honest Democrat of the state should compel the nomina tion of a sound money Democratic state ticket, or failing In that, vote directly for the Republican candidate. The time has come when the friends of honest money and public and private credit and general business and Indus trial prosperity can no longer monkey with the free silver demagogues. Where ever they assert themselves they must be throttled andi overthrown, and the elec tion of any ticket, other than one of avowed anarchists, should be preferred by and fair minded citizen to cheap money candidates, regardless of all politi cal affllllatlons or prejudices. The Democrats and- Populists of Ne braska! united last year on a very estim able man for governor of the state ana elected him. Although he has tilled the office creditably, and avoided all the revo lutionary measures of the Populist gov ernors in Kansas and Colorado, the hon est money people of (Nebraska should make common cause In the present emer gency, to overthrow the demagogues or fanatics who are seeking to bring finan cial revulsion upon the most Intelligent country of the world by the absolute de gradation of Its currency. Whip them out of sight! ' BRIMSTONE AND OTHER FIRE WORKS. Let me speak In detail about the "fire' referred to by our Lord and show that It will not he real fire and thaf It will no.t be "everlasting." And first of the "fire.' Myriads of persons assert that It will be 'the genuine article. "The lire," say they, "and nothing but the fire,' and that for evermore. They never reason out tho matter and many even of those who understand Greek never take the trouble to see what the original say They simply believe themselves and try to maike others believe, that there is a great furntco or burning lake, or some thing of the sort, olwaltlng fhe wicked, into which, unless they repent, and that In good time, the Great Executlonpr will erelomr cast them, and In which' they wl.l spend all eternlly in untold suffering and agony. And this delightful belief regarding the ultimate fato of the majority of mankind Is one of very long standing. It was held by, nmon? others, a host of the fathers. 9t. Olirytostom, for instance, testille-s as follows: "Tae sea that awaits thorn Is the sea of the ibotto.-nless pit, where the punhment Is not accompanied with Irsenslbllity ond where there Is no suffocation to end all. But In ever lengthened torture, In burning. In strang ling, thoy are consumed there. A river of fire rollti between Mm, the undying worm, unquench.tfile fire, out of dark ness, gnasWlng of teeth.- A'.t.ioim'.i you Ehou.Li be angry with mo ten thousand times for mentioning these things I shan not cease from speaking of then." For tunately, however, he has censed now, Another dignitary of the early church, St. tEp'hrem, delivers himself of these encouraging observations: "Tint lire wWleh la unquenchable, not consuming what It devourcth, for It was not ap pointed to consume, but ,to ciuso suffer Ing and agony. It burnetii with mingled darkness (Uicw fire can burn with dark ncss we will' not pause to Inquire) and gnashing of teeth. It devoureth, It was-t- o:h, 'it cauaeth sirfferlng, and ' iot ex tlngulshed, for It is forever and ever, as It Is written. Euseblous Oalllcanus, another of the fathers favors us with the following In formation on this Important subject "Too late clival: we' be dlspleaicd with ourmves In sight of the eternal tire, which will scorch our bones and marrow, and thoughts." St. Augustine's views are, us Is welC known, precisely similar. Lei us proceed lastiy to the venjratxe St, Anselm (not a "Father", by the by), who, with uplifted han.ls and venerable coun tenance cries out to us1 as fo.lows: "Hor ror, horror! O fire of brimstone, flames of hell, dark volume of smoke, with ho,v terrible rol'.lnRS do I 'See you roll ailong! o worms living In the Are (wh'U-h, by the way, they rarely do) what wondrous greediness of gnawing kindles you. wliom- the hro of fires burnetii not! Devils that burn within us, roaring with the heat, gnashing the teeth with mad nf-fj, why are ye so cruel to thoie who ro.l in anwulsa among you? Westmln stor Review. A CURIOUS RAILROAD CONTRACT. Now Haven Journal and Courier. Tie tlreat Western rallroadi of Eng Jand has Just had to pay $000,000 to free ItseJt from the obligation to stop every train alt Swindon station for ton minutes. In 1841, 'before the road had reached Bristol, It made an agreement for nine nine years with a firm of builders to hold every train carrying passengers, "not be. Ing sent express or for special- pui-poes for ai reasonable period of about ten min utes," at Swindon, In consideration ot the erection of suitable refreshment rooms, for which a rent of a penny a year was to be paid. Tlvo railroad soon found out the Inconvenience of the ar rangement and tried to break It. The counts In 1846 and 1872 held thUt "express did not mean In the contract what Is now meant by an express train; but the price asked ofr th annulment of the conces sion was always more than the company nata willing to pay. After a fight of over fifty years it has ben driven by the competition of other roads to buy out its opponents and the ten-minute stop of fast expresses at Swindon Is now a thing of the past.

It Is proposed to make Hertin a sea port by connecting It by canals with the river Odor. The Tegel See, to the wao; of tho city, would be the harbor. There are no engineering difficulties, and only two locks would be needed. The cost of a canal 70 feet broad at bottom and 25 feet deep would be about 200,000,000 marks, or one-third more than that of tho Baltic-North Sea canal. SHE DIDN'T TAKE WITH THTi GEN TLEMEN.
