NEW EC NOMIC The Country has Started in the Direction of Free Trade. The New Tariff Bill but a Step inthe Movement to Eventually Practi- cally Abolish Customs Duties Busines Is Showing Good Effects Already. United States Investor. With the acceptance by the House | of the Senate tariff bill begins a new era in the economic history of the} United States. The present meas-| ure, though wuch less radical than that originally introduced into the} House, is nevertheless a decided | step in the direction of free trade. It imposes duties that are no lower! than some prescribed by earlier so-| called protective tariff measures, but | in the present instance no attempt is made to conceal the fact that this} is but the beginning of a movment to eventually abolish, practically, customs duties. Until it can be shown that the law which has just passed Congress dees not reflect the real sentiment of the country, it will be proper to assume that the United States is nearer a free trade basis than at any time since the repeal of Walker tariff law. The present gen- eration has grown up under a pro- tective system, and to the younger portion of the community, at least, the new law means a complete break with the past. It cannot fall back on its own experience in order to forecast the operations of the tariff} law of 1894. The prosperity of an intelligent | people is not dependent on the tar. | iff policy which such a people may | maintain. Free trade or protection whichever the case may be will very likely affect the material welfare of a community one way or the other in a measure; but on a final analysis the prosperity will invariably be found to result from causes quite remote from legislative enactments. Among these are frugality, persever- ance and intelligence on the part of the individuals composing the com- munity. Wherever these qualities predominate, material prosperity is inevitable The indespensable thing is that a person may be fairly able to calculate today where he is going to stand to | morrow. It is just here that the evel of frequent changes in the tariff policy of a country is most pro- nounced. Whatever may be the nature of the proposed change it is bound to call for a readjustment of every business man’s method of do- ing business and it is these frequent readjustments that are the most to be dreaded. For nearly two years a change in the tariff policy of the United States has been regarded as a certainty. But for nearly two years it has been impossible to form a clear idea regarding the exact nature of the change. Consequently every business man has used the utmost caution in the conduct of his business. nation. just what it may expect. and manufactures know how to cut their cloth for the next four years at If one thing more than an- the American people it is a genius for business.

We have already had least. other characterizes a year of that sort of a thing, even before the final vote on the tar iff bill was taken there were signs that the business energy of the coun- try had acquired a restlessness which could not be much longer restrained Consequently we have no hesitation in predicting that the passage of the tariff bill will be followed by an increase in business all along the lie. In fact within forty-eight hours of the time the senate bill ERA NEAR. | The Tarff on Wool, ‘people dependent on the mses The information from|ment. It is in direct opposition to!

As the Washington dispatch to the Times yesterday morning stated |make an impression. the operation of the new law has had the effect of increasing the de- mand for domestic wools. As the best product of the iron and steel mills is obtained by mixing Spanish and so the prime work of the loom is obtained by mix- foreign and domestic wools. Under the McKinley law the foreign wools were excluded absolutely and the demand for domestic wools correspondingly decreased. With the diminished demand there was a decreasing market and fromthe day the McKinley law went into opera tion, though the duty on wool was prohibitive: the price on domestic wool constantly decreased until the point was reached below the lowest previously recorded in the history of the industry. domestie ores, DeArmond’s Speech. | The opening of congressman De-| Armond’s campaiga for re-election was significant as striking the key-| note of the campaign.

The significance of the Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas elections is that the so called Populist party is not spreading, and that there is no human probability that the heresies incorporated in its creed will have an influence present or future in the legislation of this country. The Populist party has a temporary foot- | hold in Kansas and Colorado, and may probably develop strength in Nevada.
