The steel industry is one of the protected industries of this country, one of the highly protected indus tries. Hon. Mark Hanna says it would never do to interfere with the tariff so as to reduce the protec tion this industry now enjoys, be cause if that were done the steel makers of Canada would run their steel across the line and ruin the steel makers of this country. But Mr. Babcock, a represent ative Bepublican of Wisconsin, con tends that if the steel manufactur ers of this country, the largest of whom are now embraced in the Steel Trust known as the United States Steel Company, can afford to ship their products to other coun tries and undersell the steel manu facturers of those countries they do not need any protection at all, or at least not as much as they have. He not only has the argument with him but the proof of the argument in facts and figures Thom ia not a manufactory of steel articles in Europe that is not feeling the effects, more or less, of American competition. English ateel makers and manufacturers of machinery until recently had prac- tical control ol tnis Dusmess in Snain. But Americans have been making large sales of steel rails and machinery of various kinds in that country, to such an extent that the British consul at Bilboa has noticed it and reported it to his govern ment, as something in which the British manufacturers are very much interested and which they do not seem to realize. He states three facts in this connection which tells the story. He is speaking of some special orders. First, all these orders were offered to British man ufacturers before they were offered to Americans: second, the orders went finally to the Americans on the question of the date of deliv ery: third, the American price was in every case lower than the Brit ish. The Americans underbid the Englishmen as to price, and got ahead of them on time, two essen tials to success. But this has been the case in scores of contracts r which Americans have taken away from their British competitors thev have beat them on price and on time. The consul has. therefore, come to the conclusion that the British manufacturers are too slow and do not fully comprehend the situation and the danger they are in of losing the trade they have in Spam, where thev are now confronted by an ag gressive American competition but are also to be confronted by com petition from Germany, which he predicts will be formidable. The German manufacturers, he says realizing the necessity of better equipment to compete with the Americans, are putting in the latest and most improved machinery, thus I after the Americans, from whom they are quicker to learn than the more plodding Englishman. j England had until recent years the lead in the steel business and was easily the world's cham pion in that, but the championship has been wrested from her by the I more alert, resourceful and ag gressive American. - In view of facts like these is there any one who will seriously assert that American steel makers need tariff protection, or as much as they haver Will not Mr. Babcock and other tariff revisionists have a strong argument in this to support their demands? rSut here is another and even a atromror ono. Tho rprm-rt nf the I " r president of the United Steel Com pany for the past six months, be ginning with April and ending with September, shows net earnings of 154,954,871, as follows: Net earnincs from oneration. Anril t 7.356.7U Mav :.. 9.612.349 June 9,393,747 July.... 9,680,151 August 9,810,880 September (estimated) - 9,200,000 I Total.. ..J. $54,954,871 This is at the rate of about $112, 000,000 a year leaving handsome dividends after sinking funds have been provided for, interest paid, etc. Will any one seriously assert that an industry which can show net earn ings of $54,954,861 in six months needs tariff protection, at least as : much ' protection as it has? Of course this Trust shipped much of its products to foreign markets, where it sold them for less than it "demanded and got from its home customers for the same goods, but the home market was its greatest . and best market consuming scores of times as " much as the foreign market did. It dealt fairly with ... its foreign customers because it had competition to contend against, but it charged its home customers any price it saw fit because it was pro tected bv. a nsractieallv Tirohibitive " T T-rf X ' tariff and the home customers were in its power. Several times since the organization of this Trust is has .. advanced the price of its ' products without any apparent cause, but all this time it was selling to foreign customers' at prices to compete with manufacturers, and was satisfied with the profits because it sought new customers and increase of its trade. Is a combination of this kind un der no obligation to the public with out whose support and protection it could not live ? Is it treating the American consumer fairly when it squeezes the last cent possible out of him while it deals m modera tion with its foreign customers to whom it is under no obligation at all? Its defenders and apologists may answer that the prices charged to home consumers are not excessive or extortionate, but lower than they had paid years ago, which may be true, and yet with the abundance of raw material, improved methods of manufacture' and cheaper produc tion, the profits on these prices were much greater than the profits previ nnalv made by manufacturers who nnt have the advantages the manufacturers now have, at hast those of them who are fully equip ped for business. In fairness the nnwii' fa cmtitlnd to the benefit of U wUV v - some of these advantages which en able this steel combine to make a af. nrnfit of t54.954.871 on six I v v Jt months work. If there isn't a potent argument in this for tariff revision at least on Trust controlled articles of the steel vira if. will he useless to look for one. STUDIED DECEPTION. We do not attach much impor tance to the recent slaughter of A mar? nan soldiers on the island of Samar, for we think that is some thing likely to happen almost any where in the islands when the Ameri can BnlAiora RTfi off their guard, or outnumbered and can be taken by surprise. But the massacre empha sizes the fact that the Filipinos are far from being the "pacified" people that official reports represent them to be. As far as refraining from hostilities when thev are not in a condition to pursue them, or appear ing friendly in the cities and towns where the American troops are sta tioned in sufficient number to com mand respect, this may be true, but beyond these lines there isn't a word of truth in it. When Admiral Dewey two years ago said "the jurisdiction oi tne United States extends as far in shore as our guns can throw a ball," he covered the situation. That was true then, and it is true now. Since this slaughter we are beginning asrain to hear a great deal about "savages," "banditti," etc., from the same sources which not long ago were describing the Filipinos as a "docile," "tractable," "pacified" neonle. who were taking kindly to American rule, and showing much disposition to be taught American ways. According to reports they were hankering more 'for American school teachers than for anything else and were all anxious to go to school. There seems to have been either a very sudden and quite decided change of opinion regarding them, or a verv sudden and decided change in the Filipinos, but most probably the former. The fact is that from the begin ning a course of studied deception has been pursued as to the condi tion in these islands, the tempera ment of the people, 'the relations between them and the representa tives of that government, none of which have ever been finally under- stood by the American people who formed their opinions from official reports. The truth simply is, that they acknowledge American supre macy when they can't help them selves, pretend friendliness when hatred is rankling in their hearts, when if they could, they would massacre everv American on tne islands, as they did those 48 sur prised soldiers in Samar. They are simply the same Filipinos they were two years ago, no hotter, no worse, and that's what they, will continue to be for years to come. They will respect the American nag when fly ing jver American guns, and only then. THE CUP SEHAnrs With the third victory Thursday of the Columbia over Shamrock II, with three straight races over none of which there is dispute, the Amer ica's cup remains in this country where it will in all probability con tinue to remain for years to come, if not permanently. These races proved two things: first that the Americans are better boat builders than the Englishmen, and, second, better boat sailers, although the' margin is not very great on either. British genius was exhausted in the effort to build a swifter flier than the Columbia,- which beat Shamrock I last year, and so was American genius ex hausted in the effort to build a bet ter one. Both failed. The English men built the best boat they ever put on the water, but it wasn't a match. The Americans built a boat which they thought would be su- perioMbut in the tests the Colum bia demonstrated her superiority, hence the probabilites are that the builders ' of the Columbia have solved, the problem of a fast flier, susceptible ox very little if any improvement, and the presumption is that after twelve defeats British sportsmen will rest awhile before they throw away any more money I trying to build a boat to capture the cup, although it is saiu m " English syndicate had been formed m m, 9 .I J I.V. a - to build a boat and challenge ior tne cup in the event that Lipton did not lift it. With three straignt oeaw under conditions so favorable to the English, or rather Irish, boat they will be very likely to reconsiaer that. W hile, as a matter of national pride, it is gratifying to have won, there are a good many Americans who would not have been pain fully disappointed if such a clever, gameTmanly aud chivalrous fellow as Sir Thomas Lipton had won, the result of which would have been hot races from year to year until the old cup, which,' in the numerous contests for it has cost millions of dollars, came back. But with Lip ton's two defeats the cup will re main on this side and our racers, too. A negro is now in a hospital in Washington, whose case is attract ing the attention of physicians and surgeons. He was shot on the 13th of September, the wound being sim ilar to that of President McKinley, but worse. It was six hours before he could be brought to the hospital from the farm in Maryland, where he was shot. The ball passed through both walls of the stomach, tore some of the organs, cut an artery, lodged in the muscles of the back, where it still remains, and yet the negro is well on the way to recovery. He is hankering for corn beef and cab bage, which the doctors do not con sider advisable to give him just yet. CURRENT COMMENT.
