Some Interesting facts lllustrntlvo of the marvelous revival of industrial ac tivity which followed so directly upon the election of President McKtnley and the enactment of the Dlngley tariff arc. set forth In a statement Issued by the treasury bureau of statistics. It la especially significant of prosperous times among manufacturers that arti cles required In manufacturing and food stuffs not produced In the United States form the largest Items of the Increase in Importations shown by the fiscal year just ended. The statement covers all articles or classes of articles In which the Importation increased or decreased as much as $1,000,000 during the year , and showa an Increase of im portations In nearly nil articles of for eign production required by our man ufacturers. Unmanufactured fibers , raw silk , crude lubber , bar and block tin , hides and skins , undressed furs , cabinet and other woods , unmanufac tured tobacco and chemicals for use in manufacturing , all show a heavy In crease , wool being the only Important Item of material for the factory which shows n reduction In Imports. In the ten great classes of material Imported for use of the manufacturers fibers , silk , rubber , hides , furs , tin , copper , tobacco , wood and chemicals the Increase amounts to about $30,000- 000 , though the reduction of several flnllnrc In wnnl hrlnfa Hio nof Increase In manufacturers' materials to something less than that figure. In food stuffs the principal Increase Is In sugar , tropical fruits and cocoa , the increase in these being above $30,000- 000. The very heavy Importations of ugar just prior to the enactment of the tariff lawa of 1897 made the sugar Importations of 1898 extremely light , BO that those of 1899 show an increase of 50 per cent in quantity over those of 1898 , but many million pounds less than those of 1897. Among manufactured goods the finer grades of cotton , silk and fibers show the largest Increase , though matting , chlnaware , dressed furs and spirits are slightly In excess of last year. Diamonds and jewelry show the largest Increase among the articles classed as luxuries , though this Is believed to be duo In part at least to a reduction In duties under the act of 1897 , which was made In the belief that it would reduce smuggling and thus bring within the operations of the customs law many trillion dollars' worth of this class of goods which had formerly escaped tax ation. In manufactured goods there has been a decrease In imports in a number of Important articles which tome In competition with American manufactures , especially Inwoolen goods and tin plate. Coffee also shows a decrease of about $10,000,000 In value of Importations , largely due , however , to the decrease In price rather than In quantity , the average price per pound In 1899 being more than 10 per cent below that of 1898 , while there Is also a slight reduction In quantities Im ported , owing to the very heavy Im ports of last year. The following table Includes the ar ticles or classes of articles in which the Imports of the year show an In crease or decrease of as much as $1,000,000 , and compares the Imports of the year with those of the two pre- ding fiscal years : IMPORTS. 1897. 1SOS. 1SS9.

The outlook for the yield of French ! champagnes for the season of 1899 Is discouraging. The latest facts from the wlno districts published In Paris show that the white grapes have suffered fit fered severely through Inclement : weather. The vines bearing these grapes do not produce a "contrebour- geons , " and In consequence the first growth having been destroyed , there is no hope whatever of fruit for the autumn. In Epernay , the center of the champagne country , the damage done Is considerable , but not so great as In many less known localities , in Paris the certainty of a bad vintage has caused a great demand to spring up for wines of previous years , In which era brisk speculation is being done. The wlno statistics for the champagne dis ! trict for the year , from April , 189S , sto April , 1899 , show a fall of 700.000 In the number of bottles exported. On the other hand , the consumption In France has Increased over 2.COO.OOO bottles. The total number of bottles disposed of during the yca-r wad 27- 397,9911. The stock the growers have In hand amounts to 10C.371.7CG bottles , together with 113,053 hectoliters of wine in casks , If not n liottlp of French cham pagne could be spared for export to the United States for the next ten years It would be far from an unmixed calamity. Certain so-railed connois seurs whoso tastes are regulated by label and not by quality would feel the deprivation seriously , but in the long urn they would be the wiser and the better for It. Then they would bo forced to drink the fine champagnes of native production , and would for the first time In their lives discover how excellent these wines really arc. At present they don't know , for they never taste them. REPUBLICANS ARE READY. The rrou-Trnilo Issue Will 1'lnil Them Welt I'rupured In 1000. Some of the Democrats who sec the hopelessness of a campaign on a 10- to-1 pmtform express anxiety to make free trade and protection the issue. If the Bryan or Democratic leaders will agree to Ignore the sliver issue in their platform and pledge that Its speak ers shall not allude to It , It Is possi ble that the Republicans would accom modate them. In 1894 the Republicans made the campaign on a declaration against the Gorman-Wilson tariff law. Hard times helped , but the Democratic party was never so badly beaten. In deed , the overwhelming defeat in 1894 caused Democrats to seek a new Issue for 1896 , and free and unlimited coin age of silver was accented by many Democrats because they dared not go Into a campaign with a revenue tariff platform. The Bryan convention dropped the word "only" from the usual Democratic platform declaring for a tariff for revenue. The duty In the Gorman law was high enough on iron , but It was made so low on a long line of goods that half the factories producing thorn were closed , The woolen Industry and the wool-growing Interest were hit very hard by the Gorman law. During the past two years the wool-growing In terest has got on Its feet again. Sheep and wool again have values , and the latter , produced at home , Is taking the place of the foreign article , coming to us on the free list. It Is not probable that the wool-growers , who are In three-fourths the states , can form a wool-growers' trust. The wool man ufacturers have not yet accomplished much In that direction. Clothing Is not materially higher than It was un der the Gorman law. Free trade in glass would lose to Indiana the east ern trade In one of Its prominent In dustries , as did the cut in duties by the Gorman tariff law. So with other industries , the principle of protection cannot be safely set aside unless wo are all willing to reduce wages to the basis of those of competitors In other countries. Great Britain has com petitors today because all nations have protected their Industries by tariffs which have held the home markets for the home producer , and there Is no doubt that they will adhere to that policy in adjusting duties. At any rate , if the Bryan Democracy is anx ious to drop 1C to 1 for the tariff Issue , Republicans are ready. Indianapolis ( Ind. ) Journal. nioniiy lit Plenty. HUM" !

No matter what steps we may take to destroy trusts Germany Is deter mined to maintain a system which it is generally recognized Is bringing pros perity and wealth to the empire. Shall we then , in order to overcome an evil which may be regulated , resort to a policy which will Invite disaster ? Is It conceivable that the American pco pie , In the face of the menace which the organized front of Germany pre sents , will strike down the only barrier to the deluge of articles manufactured in Germany which the removal of pro tection would invite ? Great Britain Is now endeavoring to rescue her West Indian poasesslons from the evil fate imposed on them by the Gorman ex port bounty system. Are we anxious to share the same experience ? If wo are , all we need to do Is to dispense with protection and the Germans will soon make It clear to us that In the ef fort to abate an evil which Is largely imaginary we have exposed ourselves to the danger of having our manufac turing industries totally destroyed. San Francisco Chronicle. i No Longer riiKhloiiulilo.

A Urntlior MonopolUt lnilom-4 tlio S Rarely In the annals of American politics have the statements of a man having any reputation at all been so completely refuted , riddled and r'dl- ' culed as thoao of Mr. Havemeyor , to the effect that the present tariff Is four-fifths extortion and the parent of trusts. In such n situation Mr. Havo- meyer has doubtless been turning In every direction looking for an Indorse ment of some kind from some quar ter , and willing to accept It in what ever shape It should come. The loose-talking Now Yorker may now comfort himself a little , for he has found a friend of just ns much loquacity and Just as little sense. That congenial Indorser lives In this city and has sent the Indorsement to the Nebraska City Conservative , In which paper It has been duly published without comment. It runs thus : Wells , Fnrgo & Co. , Ofllcc of Presi dent. San Francisco , Cnl. , Juno 15 , 1899. Dear Mr. Morton : Referring to yours of June 7 , doubtless you noticed Havcmcyer's testimony before the Washington commission yesterday and his remarks upon the matter of trusts namely , that the protective tariff Is the mother of trusts In the United States of America. I am with him every time on that statement. I think his observations In general were based on facts and good sense. Very truly yours , JOHN J. VALENTINE. A draft upon human credulity drawn by Havemeyer and Indorsed by Valentino tine Is certainly a unique document even In the politics of a country whcro the canard and the roorback arc com mon. Fortunately the names of tno parties arc so well known and the rep utation of each so well established that no one Is likely to bo deceived by the document. The only effect of the Valentine Indorsement will be to con firm the judgment of the public formed on the original statement. The main interest In the matter lies In the new evidence it gives of Valentino's crav ing for notoriety. Wherever there is an opening In a newspaper , on a plat form or In a pulpit , ho is there to show that he can shed language as readily as ho shirks taxes or cinches the pub lic , and seemingly there is no form of iniquity he Is not willing to uphold either by precept or practice. San Francisco Call. Tire Innvltiihlu KcsulU. Not one-half of the articles handled by the trusts arc protected by tariffs. Not one-half the capitalization of the great consolidations is devoted to the production of articles which are pro tected. Mr. Havemeyer knows very well that In forming these consolida tions the real objects were an economy of organization and a monopoly of the local production. These being the prime objects , the tariffs affect them neither In one way or the other , except as they may exclude a foreign competition. If we throw open the doors to foreign competition It would necessitate even greater economy In organization to en able home producers to compete proflt- ably. There would be no surer way to ' put the entire production of the coun try Into the hands of consolidations than by striking down all our tariff duties. There would be an absolute ne cessity for trusts then.or else wo should have to glvo our markets over to the Europeans and go out of business , for we could not continue to produce In any but the most economical way against unrestricted foreign competi tion. It is safe , then , to say that If all our tariff laws should bo repealed tomorrow there would be Just two ef fects one the degradation of American labor , and the other a complete ab sorption of our Industries by giant cor poratlons. Kansas City ( Kan. ) Jour nal. Democracy and Trunts , It was In 1891 that the Democratic majority In both houses of congress paralyzed the section against trusts passed by the Republican majority In the preceding congress. The Wilson ln\v nrnsnrlbos no nonaltv nenlnst trusts except firms or corporations who are Importers of foreign goods. Im porters arc not organized In trusts and never have been. Consequently the Wilson law touches none of the trusts. It opened the door wide to all that now exist. The last senate was not Republican and would not permit the restoration of the anti-trust clause of the McKtnley law. The Republican record against trusts Is perfectly clear. A law in 1890 fulfilled the platform pledge of 1888. Then the Democrats came Into power and mlsgovernment and calamity came with them. In their endless chapter of disasters was the killing of the anti-trust law. They worked havoc In that direction as In every other. Yet they arc now making a prodigious racket over the trusts as If the subject were entirely new and their party acting upon It for the first time. St. Louis Globe-Democrat Then nnd Now. During the last Democratic adminis tration the papers were filled with ro- porta of factories closed , wages re duced and an ever-Increasing army ol unemployed. Now they arc filled with reports of new enterprises , voluntary advances of wages and constantly im proved relations between employer/ nnd employes. Indianapolis ( Ind. ' Journal.

At DCS Moines , In. , the other day , /x-Colonel Bryan intimated that the gold coining from the Klondike coun try was almost entirely responsible for the prosperity which is now sweep ing over the United States. Tins Is a most startling admission to come from the lips of the democratic joss. It carries with it the assurance that pros perity Is with us. Also that gold is not sucn a uau tiling alter an ; ana inai wo really can run the country without the aid of silver. The colonel also In timated that expansion was a pretty good thing , and practically admitted that it would help the business inter ests of the country. It was many years after the acquisition of A In hit a that the prosperity wave was brought with it. Kut it has come and is ad mitted by the democratic leader. Why not so with the Philippines as well as Alaska. The best of authorities agree that these islands arc rich in minerals and that much gold is to bo found and the agricultural wealth will be im mense. Then why isn't it a. good thing to annex the Philippines and keep the prosperity wave rolling in our United States. And these intima tions , coming from Mr. liryan , have caused grave fears in the minds of the colonel's friends hero In Nebraska. They fear that ho is preparing to drop the silver question , and their appre hensions seem to be well founded. For blx years Mr. liryan has claimed that no such things could over bo ; that only the free coinage of silver could bring prosperity to this country. Ho now practically admits that he was wrong , and also that expansion must bo all right and n good thing for the country because its prosperity injections are already being felt. It was thought by democracy and fiiiion that when Crolter began to change his views re garding expansion that liryan would have n smoother path to travel , but it seems that fate wills Unit they must remain upn1 * Hut William scorns to bo grasping the right Idea of thing. ' at lust , ADMIT TIICIU rooiiHiiNisM. The fusion managers admit that the pass-grabbing ollleials at the insane asylum made an error when they re fused the Kpworthlans permission lo drink from the slate pumping station's supply. That < h" Kpworthlnns will forgive the hasty nnd ill advised ac- nctlon of Mr. CoIIin and his subordi nates all agree , but the trouble is that they will not forgot It. They say It would not be so bad If the matter end ed whcro it appears to. hut that it has caused n great deal of friction among the managers and the employes of the asylum. Some of the employes have enough political foresight to see what the consequences of the hasty action may be , and they all plaeo the blaine at the head of the Institution. The serious part of Superintendent Collln's action was his attempt to show that the management of the assembly turned about and supplied the people of the assembly with unwholesome water that endangered the lives of the Immense concourse , and also his ad mission that ho had refused life-giving water to the assembly for the lack of a few freopasses. SnperlntendentColUn closed a signed statement with this as sertion : "It scarcely seems right for Presi dent Jones to endanger the health and oven the lives of the immense con course of people now gathered at the park , by providing an unwholesome water supply when no other outlay than the possible admission of twelve in. liftinn luxnttnl einnlovoH and la- tients would procure that of the best quality. " It does not seem possible that Dr. Co 11 In would stand by and see the lives of a vast concourse endangered for the lack of TWELVE or FIFTEEN frco tickets , but he admits as much.
