Whether a protective tariff n-ally
protects this country or not at the
expense of foreign powers, the fol
lowing article from an unbiased
unprejudiced standpoint ought to
set the dumbest of tree traders to
thinking, and cause a few of the
scales to fall from their eyes. The
interview is dated at Berlin and
rends as fol lows:
"Willi referer.ee to the propuM-d
German World's Fair to beheld in
litfi, which has already been men
tioned in 1 1 lese col u mil", t he assso-
ciated press correspondent asked
the views of Mr. Werner on Sie
mens, the eicat electrician, who is
a leading mcmiicroi ineiair com
mittee. Mr. Von Siemens said that
the year I'.Ni had been lied for tin-

closely 011 the Chicago exhibition.
While it was yet too early to .-ay
anything positive, Mr. Siemens
Ihoughi (hat the German govern
ment would . -Mist:; in the movement
and that the exhibition would take
place at the time mentioned.
"'We will have no humbug, no
Kilfi-l Tower or similar attraction,'
said the Privy Councillor, 'but we
will make a solid showing of what
we can do in the way of 111.1 11 11 1 ic
tur'iig. It will be a business aifair
throughout. We may meet with
some opposition on the part of
France; but, aside from her, we
shall be sustained by ail Kurope.-

Africa and Asia. Your country is
young, full of natural resources,
and by your enterprise, no less than
by your present policy, you threaten
to deprive us of our foreign trade.
Power naturally makes you aggres
sive, and Kurope must take care of
her interests or else she will be
pushed to the wall.'
"'Do you. then, believe that com
mercial war will be pronounced be
tween the Old World and the New
World?" the correspondent asked.
'Yes.' said Mr. Von Siemens, 'if
y ou keep on as you are doing now
we shall have to go to war. We
will erect a big fence to keep out
your grain, your cotton, your meat.
We will retaliate. I am naturally a
free- trader, but I believe in meeting
protection with protection.'
" 'Can Kurope exist without Amer
ican grain?'
"'Of course we can. We can sup
ply all our wiinb f om Russia or
Indi 'i.'
"'Do you think that Kurope. and
Germany especially, will be the
gainer by such a policy? Do you

of your manufactures are exported

America advances in manufacturing-
she will need less and less
of our goods. The day will come,
and come soon, when we shall have
to fight against vour aggressions."
"'Will vou exhibit at the Chicago
Fair?'
"T do not know as yet. At pres
ent it seems to me folly to exhibit
in a country where people will not
buy from us.'
This conversation is significant
of the feeling of fear with which
American enterprise and the pres
ent American policyr are regarded
in Germany. With her commerce
threatened in Central and South
America, it is only natural that
Germany should show some bitter
ness of feeling. But on sober re
flection German merchants and
manufacturers will hardly fail to
realize that the best policy is to
keep on friendly terms with Amer
ica, lather than to provoke even
more restrictive measures.
Of the nearly 700 steam vessels
which were recorded upon the Navy
Register in lSv5. at the close of the
civil war, there now remain only t he
Ianscater, Pensacola. Hartford,
Richmond. Kearsage, Iroquois, Wa
bash. Minnesota, Franklin, Yantic.
Monocacy, Michigan, Palos, and
Pinta, besides the thirteen single
turreted monitors. This entire fleet
carries fewer guns than were carried
by three of the original ships of the
navy the Constitution, the Con
stellation, and the United States--in
the war 1812. Four of the ob
solete warships, oldtimers that were
famliar to the navy yards hospital
nurses, and which had been con
demned by the governornment, lost
their opportunity of ever again
having their wounds healed at
navy yard, and were sold to the
highest bidder for old junk a few
days ago, which was recorded inthe
Washington dispatches at the time.
And so one after another of the old
cripples are disappearing, and in a
few more years the new cruisers,
commerce destroyers, battle-ships,
ironclads, and torpedo boats will
have displaced them all.

THE LADI ES HOME JOURNAL.
If it is true that "not one Ameri
can in a hundred knows how to take
a vaction" the July number of The
Ladies Home Journal has a distinct
educational value, for it quite over
flows with new and good counsel
lor summerings: beside tne Units
for "The Mother in the Country,
to which many clever women have
contributed, there arc helpful words
from Mrs. Margaret Bottome and
Dr. Talmage; while in the bright
page for "The Woman in the City"
the lot of the stay-at-home is shown
to be not so dreadful, after all.
Other attractive features are Mrs.
Henry Ward Beeeher's "Birds in
the Home; the sketch and portrait
of Mrs. Joel Chandler Harris; A
Bride in the Diamond Fields, by W.
I1. Pond, a bit of Switzerland deli
cately pictured by Mary J. Holmes
and some very excellent fiction, in
which "Isabel's Father," by Belle C.
Greene, is given a prominent place;
"A Soul from Pudge's Corners" by-
Jessie F. O'Donnell, and Mrs. Whit
ney's "A Golden Gossip" are con
tinued stories of expectional
strength. One is conscious of the
July sunshine flooding the depart
ment pages and, in fact, the whole
number; better summer reading

sound anil .-table currency, and the
! use of both gold and silver as a
basis thereof. That is ;i cardinal
I Republican doctrine, and can not
be safely departed from under anv
j ci rcu i n.-l a nees. The otie-tioii of
the circulating medium with which I
labor and prodiu ts are paid for isj
one of the mo.-t important in ourj
politics. There are no aguments in ,
favor of the inflation theory that I
will stand a moment's careful and I
logical consideration. As Senator'
Sherman declares, "the people want
good money a ml plen t v of i t - monev j
of eijual value, so that a dollar will j
be the same whedier it is made of
gold or silver or paper." The kind
of material does not matter -o long
as its purchasing power is up lothe
best standard. Bat in order to
maintain tiiai inlormily of value it
is neces-arv to limit the volunm of
different forms of currency, and to
be sure that die basis is adi:ate
and permanent. This is the latal
objection to the free coinage of sil
ver or to the superabundant in
crease of paper currency. The ad
vocates of these experiments do not
stop to think how eaisly the present
conditions oi security might be
changed by pushing the ciicula
tion beyond prudent and reason
able limit-, thus substituting' bad
money lor good and unsettling
property values of every deserio
t ion.
We are now ble-t with a curi-i;e-sy-n
in thai is uiiex elied in the

due hi large measures to that ad

tradeand indu-lry. We have had
such money -ince the resumption
of specie payments in Januraiy.
Is71.; we can have it always by heed
ing the lessons 01 experience and
perpetuating the policy under
which our prospect v has exceeded
all precedent. More currenv will
he needed and should hi- provided as
time passes and business increases,
but we do not want it in Hoods of
irredeemable coins or notes. Y
want, as .Maior .Mcixmiev savs, a
circulating medium that shall be
secure from discount or II net ua t ion
"not only g"ood among ourselves
but wherever trade extends"; and
that want can be supplied without
taking any risks or inflicting any
damage upon any class oi citizens
"The laborers and farmers give tin
best they have," to quote again
from Maj. McKinley's latest speech
"and thev should receive the best of
money for their work and products."
This can not be if we depreciate tlu
currency and put forth dollars of
unequal value. If we fill the chan
nels of commerce with monev of
differing values, the cheapest takt
precedence 01 tne rest and an one-

THE QUESTION 0 F" AMEHICAN TIN
AS RELATED TO THE MANU
FACTURE OE TIN PLATE.
For the last few years, says the
Utica Observer, "we have been read
ing glowing accounts of the ahimd
ance of ore our tin mines would
produce some time or another.
Our Republican contemporaries
have attempted to justify the tin
plate taxation largely on this feeble
possibility- or prediction." Protec
tionist justify the Tariff on tin plate
on grounds entirely independent of
American tin. Whether American
tin mines can produce a single
pound of tin or not. we want a Tar
iff 011 tin plates, for we know that
we can produce those just as well
as they can be produced in Wales.
