Immense Increase In tlio Importation
of Commodities lined In Doiucwtlo
Manufacture ) * , and Decrease In the Im
ports of Articles Made Abroad.
Some interesting facts Illustrative of
the marvelous revival of industrial ac
tivity which followed so directly upon
the election of President McKinley and
the enactment of the DIngley tariff
are set forth in a statement issued by
the treasury bureau of statistics. It
Is 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 shows an increase of im
portations in nearly nil articles of for
eign -production required by our man
ufacturers. Unmanufactured fibers ,
raw silk , crude rubber , bar and block
tin , liides and skins , undressed furs ,
j b'inet and other woods , unmanufac
tured tobacco and chemicals for use in
manuTacturing , all show a heavy increase -
crease , wool being the only important
item of material for the factory which
shows a reduction in imports.
In the ten great classes of material
imported for use of the manufacturers
fiberB , silk , rubber , hides , furs , tin ,
copper , tobacco , wood and chemicals
the Increase amounts to about $30,000-
000 , though the reduction , of several
million dollars in wool brings the net
Increase in manufacturers' materials to
something less than that figure. In
food stuffs the principal increase is in
sugar , tropical fniits and cocoa , the
Increase in these being above ? 30,000-
000. The very heavy importations of
sugar just prior to the enactment of
the tariff laws 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 ,
chinaware , 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
due 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
million 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
come in competition with American
manufactures , especially in woolen
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
ceding fiscal years :

Because They Don't Know.
The outlook for the yield of French
champagnes for the season of 1899 is
discouraging. The latest facts from
the wine districts published in Paris
show that the white grapes have suf
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
M i is considerable , but not so great as in
many less known localities , m Paris
the certainty of a bad vintage has
lit caused a great demand to spring up for
wines of previous years , in which a
brisk speculation is being done. The
wine statistics for the champagne district -
* trict for the year , from April , 1898 , to
'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 2,500,000
bottles. The total number of bottles
disposed of during the year waa 27-
397,996. The stock the growers have
In hand amounts to 100,371,755 bottles ,
together with 413,053 hectoliters of
wine in casks.
If not a bottle 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-called connois
seurs whose tastes are regulated by
label and not by quality would feel the
deprivation seriously , but in the long
run they would be the wiser and the
better for it. Then they would be
forced to drink the fine champagnes
of native production , and would for
the first time in their lives discover
how excellent these wines really are.
At present they don't know , for they
never taste them.
REPUBLICANS ARE READY.
Tlio Froc-Trado ISHUO Will Find Them
Well Prepared in 1900.
Some of the Democrats who see the
hopelessness of u campaign on a 16-
to-1 platform express anxiety to make
free trade and protection the issue. If
the Bryan or Democratic leaders will
agree to ignore the silver 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 accepted 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 them 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 we
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 16 to 1 for the tariff issue ,
Republicans are ready. Indianapolis

A Policy Which Invites Disaster.
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 people
ple , 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 possessions from the evil fate
imposed on them by the German ex
port bounty system. Are we anxious
to share the same experience ? If we
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.

No Longer Fashionable.
A Canadian 'correspondent , writing
on the trade between Canada and
America , says : "The policy of the
United States toward Canada since
1867 , with the brief intermission while
the Wilson act of 1894-97 was in force ,
has been one of grab all and give noth
ing. Of course. It is no longer fash

ACREES WITH HAVEMEYER.
A Ilrutlicr Monopollut Indorses tlio
Kinz'fl Views.
Rarely in the annals of American
politics have the statements of a man
having any reputation at all been so
completely refuted , riddled and ridi
culed as those of Mr. Havemeyer , to
the effect that the present tariff Is
four-fifths extortion and the parent of
trusts. In such a situation Mr. Have
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 New Yorker may
now comfort himself a little , for he
has found a friend of just as 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 , Fargo & Co. , Office of Presi
dent.
San Francisco , Cal. , June 15 , 1899.
Dear Mr. Morton : Referring to
yours of June 7 , doubtless you noticed
Havemeyer's testimony before the
Washington commission yesterday and
his remarks upon the matter of trusts
namely , that the protective tariff IB
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 Valen
tine is certainly a unique document
even in the politics of a country where
the canard and the roorback are com
mon. Fortunately the names of the
parties are so well known and the rep
utation of each so well established
that no one is likely to be 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 Valentine's crav
ing for notoriety. Wherever there is
an opening in a newspaper , on a plat
form or in a pulpit , he is there to show
that he can shed language as readily
as he 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.
Two Inevitable Results.
Not one-half of the articles handled
by the trusts are 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 profit
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 we should
have to give our mafkets 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 be 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
porations. Kansas City ( Kan. ) Jour

Democracy and Trusts.
It was in 1894 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
law prescribes no penalty against
trusts except firms or corporations who
are importers of foreign goods. Im
porters are 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 McKinley 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 misgovernment
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 are 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 and Now.
During the last Democratic adminis
tration the papers were filled with re
ports of factories closed , wages re
duced and an ever-increasing army of
unemployed. Now they are filled with
reports of new enterprises , voluntary
advances of wages and constantly im
proved relations between employers
and employes. Indianapolis ( Ind. )

STOMACH LIKE STEEL
HAD AN APPETITE FOR HARD
WARE.
Ate Nails , Wires and Knife Because no
Lilted Them Ho Also Ilad a Crav
ing for Hulrplus and Tacks Finally
Ho Died.
Joshua Davis , a patient who died re
cently at the State Hospital for the In
sane at Mendota , across the lake from
Madison , Mo. , had an insatiable ap
petite for hardware and lived nearly A
year with half a pound of nails , knife
blades , hairpins , tacks and pieces of
wire of various lengths in his stomach
and intestines. Physicians say that
Davis * case was the most remarkable
that has ever come to their knowledge.
He was committed to the asylum from
Saulc county , having been picked up by
the police in Baraboo on account of his
queer actions. He was received at the
asylum early last August after having
spent a couple of weeks in the Baraboo
jail. Shortly before he died he told the
hospital physicians that while in the
jail he had swallowed all the nails and
wire he could get hold of , partly be
cause he had an uncontrollable appe
tite for them and partly because he
wanted to kill himself. The physi
cians would not believe him and , being
accustomed to hearing all sorts of
strange stories , attributed his odd tale
to his diseased mind. It was only after
he became so emaciated that he could
not walk that the physicians began
seriously to consider his confessions
regarding the hardware within him.
Finally a careful examination of Da
vis' body was made and the outline
of the nails within the intestines was
detected through the abdominal wall.
The foreign substances in the stomach
and intestines had disturbed digestion
slightly during the first few months
of Davis' confinement in the hospital ,
and this fact , with the remarkably
rugged constitution of the patient ,
made the physicians discredit his story
about having too much iron in the sys
tem. However , when the doctors be
came convinced that there were some
foreign substances in the abdomen
they determined on an operation. It
was performed by Dr. William B. Ly-
man , superintendent of the hospital ,
and his assistants , Drs. M. F. Clark
and Eugene Chaney. They performed
what is known as the operation of gas
tronomy , the stomach being opened at
the pyloric extremity. The revelations
of the surgeons' knives were simply
astounding. There , in folds of the
stomach and intestines were imbedded
two dozen nails of all sizes , from a
tack to a twenty-penny spike , ten
pieces of wire of different sizes and
lengths and two pocketknife blades.
The spike , which was six inches long ,
had passed out of the stomach and
lodged crossways in the intestines ,
causing the latter to adhere to the ab
dominal walls and forming a sort of
dam which prevented the smaller nails
and pieces of wire from leaving the
stomach. The stomach and intestines
were perforated by the nails , the pres
sure from the sharp pieces of iron
causing an advanced state of ulcera-
tion. Though Davis had told the doc
tors he had also eaten some pebbles ,
none were found. The terrible condi
tion of the stomach and Intestines in
dicated that the man had slight chance
of recovery. After taking out the nails
and . other pieces _ of iron , the doctors .
- * * * * -
stitched up the stomach , but Davis
never rallied and died about eight
hours later. The body was buried in
the potter's field , near the asylum.
Davis had been on a prolonged de
bauch just before his arrest at Bara
boo. It was while he was in this con
dition that he was arrested and thrown
into the Baraboo jail , thus being de
prived of any chance whatever of get
ting what his system most craved.
The first day he was in jail he hap
pened to pick up an old rusty nail and
put it into his mouth. The taste of
the corroded iron seemed to have a
pleasant and soothing effect and finally
Davis swallowed the piece of metal.
This relieved him for a short time ,
but the old craving returned and Davis
hunted up another nail. This he also
ate , with twenty-two others , at inter
vals later. Running out of nails , he
began to swallow short pieces of wire ,
the next best thing. His suppy of wire
also gave out , and at last he took a
small pocketknife and breaking out
both bades swallowed them. This
completely exhausted his supply of
metal , he afterward confessed to the
doctors , and he went to eating small
pebbles and pieces of plaster. No
traces of these , however , were found
in his body when the autopsy was
made.
"Fatty"Walsh. .
New York has lost another of its
unique characters by the death of "Fat
ty" Walsh , whose humor was as robust
as his corporosity , from which he de
rived his sobriquet. He was a politi
cian always , and he lived and died in
office. He was the idol of the people
of his district on the east side , and one
of his favorite amusements was to
stand on the corner of the street where
he lived every night and give two pen
nies to each one of the little children
who flocked around him and could
show clean hands one penny for each
hand. Probably his most famous epi
gram was perpetrated when the New
York aldermen were indicted for the
famous Broadway street railroad steal.
"Fatty" Walsh had been a candidate
for alderman that year , but he was
counted out. When the verdict of
guilty was brought in against the cor
rupt aldermen he folded his arms and
said : "God is good to the Irish. If I
had been in the board , where would I
be now ? " Boston Herald.
