So far they haye not succeeded for he says he is deter mined to introduce and push that bill-for a protective duty on arti cles Trhich do not need -protection is not only indefensible but in op position to the very principle which underlies protection which should protect. not only the manufacturer and other producer, but the con sumer also. In this latter statement seems to have hit on an ' orig inal idea, for this is the first time we have ever heard, of the protec tive tariff protecting the consumer, ..'.:'.While 'contending that the du ties should be reduced where it has I been, demonstrated that the . pro tected articles are made as cheaply in this : country as', they " can be abroad, he declares that he adheres .as strongly to the doctrineof protec tion as ever, and "would not touch the tariff on any article where there :i may be any aouot oi tne amuiy oi . our manufacturers or other pro ducers to successfully compete with the manufacturers or producers ; of those articles in other countries. He would still give them the , benefit of protection. - Nor does he propose to repeal the protective duties on articles controlled by trusts unless it appears that the -trusts can and do make those articles as cheaply as they are made abroad. He has no hostility to trusts and is not fight in? them only in so far as they are receiving the benefit of the protec tion which thev do not need, and the only result of which, is to give them a monopoly of the home mar ket and enable them to extort from the home purchaser while selling cheaply to the foreign purchaser. V Such a tariff as that, he says, cannot ; ; be defended. , As all Republicans do, he as . sumes that the great progress this ; country has made lately in manufac . turing is the result of the protective policy. There is some truth in this, perhaps, because the protection ! given was practically a bounty on . home manufactures, the very thing that Secretary Gage objects to in other governments and is the ground of justification on which he bases his countervailing sugar and oil duties against Russia and his conn terrafling . duties on sugar against Italy, although Italy doesn't make any sugar for export. Mr..' Bab cock proposes, to strike at the trusts only when they strike at the people " and take advantage of the prohibi tive effect of the protective tariff to . extort unreasonable profits from the . American consumer while selling at a much smaller profit to foreigners. After assuming that the protective policy has built up our industries, ! nntil we have reached the point not only of being independent of other nations, but exporters of things that not many years ago we im- i ported, he in a letter to a friend ; thus defends his position: "After we have builded so well, and many of these industries have become giants such as the world has never be fore known, shall we continue a tariff . on article that yield no revenue, ned no protection, and that, in faet, like . the products of our farms, are articles of export? How can such a policy be defended! If Congress maintain! a tariff on such articles, the whole theory of protection falls to the ground and it simply inures to the benefit of those who may secure the control of iany . such commodity, since by its aid jthey , can fix exorbitant prices in the domes tie market. I maintain that if is a part of the policy of protection to, protect the consumers. This is perhaps; the only thing that Congress can do at the present time. I would not touch , a schedule where the tariff was. needed to protect labor. 'V''G .J t "The only answer that has been -SO far made to my proposition to place certain articles of iron and steel om the free list is that it would injure small manufacturers and would benefit the : trust .

V Therefore 1 W . - i. a. -2 m - a ToumuH jw-aer- force oi ine argument i used by '" my I- diatin- . tingnished colleagues, but it is to be r& marked that the trust is rapidly buy ing up the-.- smaller concerns, owning now about seventy-five per cent, of ail : in producing capacity, and will no doubt secure absolute control of prac tically all in the near future. tThe . Pennsylvania Railroad Company, re alizing the conditions, has just ;pur chased one of the large Fennsylvsnl4 ; steel : nlant presumably -.so that. it might be In a position to protect itself and make its own rails.

But th at is simply a tub thrown to the American workman by Mr. Babcock to make him believe that the Republican tariff builders. have been and still are looking out for his interests. ; Mr.. Babcock differs very much from Senator Hanna and. other friends of the , protected interests, but he has the logical - position and when put to the test they will find it impossible to give a plausible rea son why this protective jpolicy 8hould not be modified to meet the' condi tions as they are to-day, when the infants are not only -fully grown but are standing up and defiantly challenging the world. " The protection given to industries that can compete with other conn' tries, with all their "cheap pauper labor," is not protection, it is simply another name for -a system that encourages extortion and plunder, for the benefit of Republican cam paign contributors. FIGHTING ' THX WHITE HAS WITH THE HZQSO. - A Cleveland; Ohio, press dispatch published yesterday, announces that the U. S. Steel Corporation had en tered upon a systematic plan for the importation of Southern negroes to take the places of the white strikers in its mills. It has negroes employ ed in .drumming up . these negroes ana has given orders' to secure as many as possible, and center them at various points'where the strike is on. . r : ;C This is something : which - affects not only the strikers but also the iron industry of the South,- for these agents are sent to Alabama, Tennessee and other iron-producing and manufacturing sections of the South to find men who know some thing about that business, and -in duce them to leave by the offer of higher wages than they are receiv ing. If they take as many negroes as they hope to, of course this will have its effect on the iron industry of this section, which will be ham pered by the loss of this labor, un less it can retain it by increasing wages to the amount offered by the Northern Steel Combine, which might be a heavy tax on it. But this is not the worst feature of it, for this iuportaion of negroes (if not a bluff to break the strike) will in all probability result in col lision, riot, and bloodshed, which it was hoped would be avoided, and the importers of the negroes know it. It can't be said in reply that the imported are men looking for work, as one Republican organ puts it, and that the plants , needing labor have a right to employ them, (which is true.) - They are not men seeking work. On: the contrary they are sought by agents of the combine and enticed away from the, work they have, with which they were very well satisfied before these emissaries went amongst them.' 1 ' The fact is the TJ. S. Steel Cor poration is forcing the fight against the strikers, at the risk of riot and bloodshed, - using the Southern negro to fight the Northern1 white man, to get .hinv down and .; keep him down. ' The negro is figuring in something more ' than ; politicr these days, and very, much to - his own ultimate harm. ' V H0SS0VS BIG JOB. Captain' Hobson 'is achieving gome fame these days as a public speaker and well he may for he is about as strenuous a talker as he is r ship sinker. No narrow Utica contracts his powers but the whole boundless universe is his. There is nothing small about him, or; the 36b he. : maps out fori the United States. "He can give Teddv Boose- w velt two or three in the game and beat him on- strenuosity. -';' I Friday he t delivered an address before an educational assembly at Manona Lake, near- Madison, Wisconsin.-: If was a plea ior 'a great navy not only ? one to match any other navy but to buck npagainst an i aggregation - of them. : . Every Congress, he said, should appropri ate $25,000,000 to build more; war ships.- How long the appropriation of $25,000,000 annually' to con tinue he didn't say- bnt the pre sumption is nntil we 'have a navy that would make any other navy in the world look like a measly thing afloat. xfs I -tJivi; The reason for this, according . to boomer Hobson,-is because this na tion is 7 the f 'natural - protector of weaker " nations" (as " illustrated in the Philippines) and -"the principle o . the j Monroe Doctrine - and - the BfeiriiigsoilTetitudni 'Slioiild be extended throughout the Wld. To do 1 this ' we r'-musthavel ia'j great fleet in the Orient and another great fleet in the Occident, both of whlc should be - capable of ' bucking ,np against any European fleet or com bination bf fleefsT Isn't tb:3 a pretty large-eiied job that Cantain Hobson is nutting up for Uncle Samuel? If European na tions ceased building ships and . tec iheir navies stand as thev rare it "wohldtakeHhe United States con siderable time to catch up on the Hobson programme even with the expenditure of $25,000,000 a year, but as all the leading European na tions are adding to. their war.fieets annually; f :we jwonld ?haye i to 1 dp some mighty hustling to make much progress in equalizing the numbers even by the time that Captain Hob son s hair, had turned white, ma blood much cooler and his brain better poised than it is now. i . We appreciate' the pride he takes in his - profession, ' but we can't help thinking that the job he maps out for Uncle Sam is rather large even fora person of his enthusiastic and impulsive temperament. . - When Mr. Kennon, Hhe writer and lecturer, arrived in St. Peters burg from Denmark, last Thurs day, - a policeman waited on him and politely informed him that he I must get outside of Russia within twenty-four hours. The Russians had doubtless read some of George i's lectures on Siberia and wanted to let him know how' they appreciated the pictures he drew of Russian barbarity. CURRENT COMMENT. - And now a writer on the Ad miral Schley persecution declares that "Fighting Bob'? Evans "got into a conning tower and hid dur ing the Santiago fight. Are we to be left no naval heroes when this in vestigation is over ? Augusta ChronxcUy ucm. - A report comes out of Con necticnt which tells of the saving of the peach crop. Uonnecticut must be new in the business. :-: Now, Del aware and Georgia would never think of having a peach crop that wasn't ruined at the outset. Atlanta Journal, Dem. The New York Sun says the number of times the Brooklyn was hit and her keeping . ahead . of the Oregon do hot count. According to the Sun's idea, the only things that count are the number of times the New York was not hit, didn't hit, and didn't get into the fight. Washington Post, Ind, .-x . A marked subsidence in tbe wave of industrial expansion abroad is reflected in the decrease in Jnne last of exports of iron, steel and cop per. As compared with June of last year, the shrinkage in these items foots up $6,783,000 in a total reduc tion of 7,322,000. Taking the en tire Government year ended June 30, the' decrease in manufactured ex ports is $23,342,000, and of this amount iron, steel, copper and cot ton' contribute no less than $22,782, 000. The decrease in cotton manu factured exports was due wholly to the disturbances in China; bnt in the other branches named the fall ing off in demand has been heavy and general in every foreign market. railadelpnta iCecord, JJem. m - TWINKLINGS.

Later the market was feyerish, with the room devoting attention to scalping January options. There were outside orders in evidence -after the opening and trading gradually simmered, down to an indifferent evening-up trade. The English bank holidays deprived the contingent here of news from Liverpool while uncer tainty concerning the government re port of next Monday prevented en thusiastic operations on either side. Spot cottoft wasactive here and in the 8outh, with exporters as a rule out bidding domestic buyers for desirable grades. . Receipts at all poin ts were light as . predicted.
