! ^ flf RipiHUftiW in respect to our foreign trade are difficult to follow. A few day* ago The Tribune treated the marked innraast of imports since January as though iwiring trade were a calamity. Yesterday Its Washington correspondent bonded that the importations under the McKinley law ‘‘reacSted the highest paint ever known in the history of the country. ” Daring the McKinley period the value of imports was $845,000,000 for 1891 wad 1827,000,000 far 1899. For 18941* wae only $854,000,000. As the proclaimed object of the Me* Kinky law was to keep ont foreign products and resenre the home market for domestic manufacturers, this showing would indicate that the high tariff foil* ed of its purpose. While by increasing the duties it enhanced the ooet of many foreign goods which oar people desired, it did not prevent that “deluge of the products of foreign pauper labor” which Its advocates inveighed against As a matter of fact and of history the laws of trade are not controlled by tariffs, though they may be influenced by them. Onr foreign trade has increased steadily for 100 years, alike under low tariffs and Ugh tariffs, ft would increase in proportion to onr growth in wealth and population, both in imports and exports, if we bad no tariff. The Boeton Herald points to the fact that during the low tariff period, running from 1846 to 1800, onr impart trade increased about 150 per cent, while from ' 1861 to 1899, under a series of high tariffs, the inoreaae wee also about 160 per oeot The oUef difference ie that in high tariff periods like the present the people are fined more for buying the foreign goods. But taking periods of ten and 90 yean together the increase in trade is quite uniform. The greater the prosperity the greater the trade, or the greater the trade the greater the prosperity, whichever way you choose to put it—New York World. ' DOCTRINE OF JEFFERSON.

; Itoap* Wider ud Mor« Commendable Thiia That of Monroe. Now that the people are thoroughly enlightened on the Monroe doctrine it would be right and proper to give them a few lessons in the Jefferson doctrine. The Jefferson doctrine runs this way: “Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peaoe, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none. ” Evidently Secretary Gresham and the supreme court have overlooked or forgotten the Jefferson doctrine. It certainly has more to commend it than has the Monroe doctrine, far the latter is confined to the narrow limit of blowing to pieces any royal head that attempts to wear a orown anywhere in the Americas, while the Jefferson dootrine is for the welfare of all mankind, but especially for the people of the United States. To be sure, we must have commercial relations with the world, but they should be in “honest friendship, ” and not with diplomatic pyrotechnics and warship smoke, i “Peace, commeroe and honest friendship With all nations’ * is what this oountry wants, bOtinno sense does that mean that we shrill lei any nation on earth insult this oountry without vigorously resenting it Nor does it mean that we shall submit to being hindered in the work of pushing trade interchange anywhere in the world. All in all, the Jefferson doctrine is very muoh better every way for the United States than the Monroe doctrine. At the same time, if liny nation wants to break friendship with us by trying to supplant a republic in the Americas with a monarchy against the will of the people of the repnblio—well, the Jefferson doctrine provides for such an emergency too.—Omaha World-Herald.
