4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON _THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: BATURDAY.. December 29, 1883. — CROSBY 8. NOYES. ‘The Evening Star has « regular, permanent bona fide daily circulation more than treble that of any other daily paper published in Washington, equal to that of all the other dnily Papers here me ded tog ther. ‘Mr. Hewitt’s utterances just now on the tron question come with triple force, ashe 1s an tron- Master, a leading politician, and a member of the revenue committee of the House. His letter to the Albany Argus on this subject will, therefore, chal- lenge general attention. Mr. Hewitt admits the depression in the iron trade, and then dweils onthe proximate eSof this staguation and the best Way to put astry on a better footing. As to the cause, he takes what may be called the con- S:rvative democratic ground that ft lles in over- production, due to excessive protection, leading to such tempting profits In the favored bustness that too many seek to reap them. “ We are suffering,” he writes, “from unnatural stimulation,” and he | B. Predicts thatunless our revenue legislation 1s re- formed a panic like that of 1873 is tmpending. Mr. Hewitt does not claim that legislation alone can solve the dimiculty, but so far as relief can be Provided from this source {t must be found, In his opinion, first, in freeing raw materlal from all duties, and second, In Hmiting duties on manufac- Lured articles to the difference in wages in this and competing countries. “ For this purpose,” he says, “the Incidental protection afforded by revenue duties will as a rule be found suficient.” It will thus be seen that Mr. Hewitt tolerates in his democracy a principle which the ultra free- traders denounce as the rock on Which the party has split. If the theory of protection 1s constitu- Uonal, they say, the question of degree Is merely one of de not be made a vital practical issue. Mr. Hewitt meets this objection by pleading the history of industry in this country witeh has So Involved the labor problem with tariff schedules. That any sweeping and arbitrary changes would ures and business and precipt- national ruin. He favors, therefore, a gradual ven at this early at it is entirely in line ed by Speaker Carlisle dilress, and while tt 1s more * Uan the views attributed to some of the fc members of the ways and means com- Iulitee, (t undoubtedly reflects the purpos Iuajority of that body. —— A physician, who fully realizes the Importance of his advie R to caution the youth of gainst the use of that vile device known a8 the toy pistol during the new year festivities, ‘The suggestion is a most timely and necessary one, and parents as well as children will do well to give heed toit. Aside from being a nuisance to nearly everybouy, and especially irritating to invalids and Persons of weak nerves, the toy pistol so called 13 Teally a most dangerous weapon, as the mortuary Tecords of past seasons abundantly show, and its sale and use ought to be prohibited both by statute dawand moral suasion. Less dangerous, so far as casualities to life and limb are concerned, but hardly less disagreeable to most persons, and almost equally to be dreaded, as a source of disastrous conflagrations, is that other infernal contrivance, the Chinese fire cracker. Although not named by the author of the suggestion above noted, THE STAR takes the liberty ot placing it in the list of things That can safely be let alone during holiday times. But how many youngsters will heed the admoni- Uons? ———_—_+o>+—___ ‘The record of failures for the year 1s nota very cheerfulone. Beginning in 1880 with 4,350 the totals have steadily tmereased year by year until Zor 1883 It fs 10,187. In 1682 the aggregate number Was7,574. These figures show an unwholesome condition of trade, and call for an earnest study of the causes which bring such unwelcome resuits. ‘One reason may le in the tariff, which some politt- Cal doctors say is too high, and others claim is too Jow for the best interests of business. But it may ‘be noted that the trade depression exists not only ‘Uhroughout this country, but to a greater or less €xtent throughout the commercial world. Where €ver the traveler goes, to Europe, Mexico, South Aterica, the East or the Isles of the sea, he hears ‘the same “melancholy burden” to the song of trade; and everywhere the same reasons are put forward Of over-production and over-competition. Toomany People wish to live by their brains, and too few are ‘Willing to accept the obscurity and drudgery of Manual labor; this ts certainly one of the chief Teasons for the evils complained of. The most ob- ¥ious means of relief is to encourage agriculture by wise land laws, the proper regulation of the car- ying trade, and the application of sctence to lighten and make interesting the farmer's life. —_—_—_~<er-—____ Boys and girls, and every one with a “sweet tooth,” will be concerned to hear that the successes Of the False Prophet in the Soudan have put up the Price of candy;—so closely 1s the world nowadays bound together. It seems that most of the gum @rabic, which composes about thirty per cent. of the best confectionery, comes from the Soudan, and that now, owing to the troubles there, the trade 1s Prostrated and the supply stopped. Gum has ad- Yaneed to fabulous prices, and soon there must be & corresponding advance in the cost of sugar-plums. Fortunately, the price of domestic taffy will not be affected. ——_—__+e+__ Russia seems to have overreached herself in the Ul-treatment of the Jews Being just now in Tether more than her usual state of impecuntosity Bhehas applied fora loan to the Rothschilds, and jas been politely informed by them that they will not uy Ke hh the money unless the If toa reform in ts treat- The oppreastons of lized the world, ve been mal ef which Russia has S$ to be seen whether the pock will not be more powerful than the $ of diplomac ve amer Celt is nearly a we ‘inning to feel anxi ip has broken down, Celtic has so many ery gives out, rthan a few her unitkely. nze sall power, and are ass.
