AMERICA CAN COMPETE.
Mr. Carnegie has closed a con
tract with J apan for 9,000 tons of
steel rails; What becomes of the
bugaboo about the "pauper labor" of
E a rope when Mr, Carnegie can
underbid European steel rail makers
011 such a contract as this ? Greens
boro Record.
America has passed the age of
infant industries and needs no pro
tection to compete: She lis sending
Iier various kinds of gqods into all
the leading countries of the world,
while of course she receives goods
from them. This forever seeking to
turn trade from its natural cann els
into some artificial and forced way
does not invite a ready current and
Trcrks an abnormal condition. The
protective tariff stimulates -produco
tion at the expense of the cons am er
till production is overdone I and tie
impoverished consumer is driven to
new and even distressing methods cf
retrenchment till markets are
glutted, mills closed down; and men,
women and children suffering for
bread. Natural channels are satest
and work least injury to all classes.
Tariff for revenue or no tariff at all!
Although it is commonly- sup
po3ed that the American Indians
are rapidly disappearing, it is never
theless a fact that 250,000- Indians,
exclusive of those in Alaska, are
still to be found in the western
plain?. ''Between the
tribes." savs the San.
various
Francisco
Post. "there is a wide difference in
language, dress, manners and tem
perament. For instance, the
Apaches are degraded, ; igtoiant,
savage and war like, while
the Flan
dreau Sioux are peaceful, progress
ive and frugal. The great mass of
Indians are self-supporting and only
about one-fourth receive assistance
from the government. Probably one
of .the richest tribes in the world are
the 1,500 O.'age Indians, who have,
in addition to a large reservation,
homes and cattle, more than $8,
000,000 in the United States treas
ury, for which they receive $100,000
each quarter N There are about 20,
000 Indians attending the public
schools, and that the money ex
pended on these institutions is not
wasted is shown by the!; progress
made in music, penmanship, art and
mechanical pursuits.
