What we Owe to Protection.

Under date Of September 18th, T.
Perkins, an American, has a COM
munication in the British TRADE
journal for October, on the subject
Of "The American Competition,
from which we take a paragraph, as
follows:
"Very few, who have not lived in
the States, can comprehend her posi-
ton or grasp what protection has
done for her. The United States
started as nation of agriculturists.
All that her people required in the
way of manufactured articles had to
be purchased from foreign countries,
and paid for in agricultural produce
or bullion. But no country in the
worlds history ever became wealthy
in that way. America, in course of
time, learned that it was wicked
waste of her wealth to pay two
freights and all the middlemen's
charges for the privilege of allowing
Manchester to make her cotton into
stuff with which to pay for food for
Lancashire operatives. She said we
must bring the food consumers near
the food supply. But how? A new
country, without mechanical educa-
ton or appliances how can it COM
pete with peoples who have the ac-
cumulated experience of generations
to draw upon? TFen came in Pro.
lection, as the nurse of the infant in
dustries, enabling them to offer good
wages to the European mechanic,
and so tempt hin to aid in building
up the new world centres of food con-
sumers, who could pay for new food
with new world manufactures"

A Correspondent of the London
Times, writing from Bordeaux,
France, gives the following descrip-
ton of how elections are conducted
in thas-country:
"The process is perfectly simple
and neat. Electors walk into the
Marie as men go on Change, and at
the gate the friends Of the candidate
or hisagent offer plain white paper
with the candidates name. In the
hall where the votes are taken the
Mayor and his Bureau, without any
civil or military guard, sit with the
ballot box before them. The elector
offers his numbered electors ticket,
the Mayor tears off corner of it,
calls out the registered number

mates that the products of the State

These are distributed as follows,

Sugar, $50, ,000,00 cotton, $50, ,OO0,-
600; corn, SO, 5,000, 700; rice, $500, 900;

into consideration the impOyerish-
ment of this State caused by the war,
the destruction of her levees and the
consequent abandonment of thOus-
ands and thousands of acres Of the
best lands Of the State, and the pro-
longed political troubles, this is a
most remarkable and encouraging
showing. A State that exhibits such
an amount Of productive capacity,
and under such untOward circum-
stances must have within herself re-
sources which require only few
years Of peace and prosperity to de-
velop into immense proportions.

LOVE AND LUNACY.-A close car
riage passed through Frederick on
Wednesday, containing officers
George Wassen, F. G.. Griffith, and
women Lizzie Detrick. All the
party were from Hagerst0wn, and
were on their way to Montevue
Hospital, the woman, raving
maniac, to be confined there
in. This is a case of insanity prob
ably caused by love, and the story of
the women's life, as told by herself a
few weeks since, Is curious mixture
of romance and reality. A part OF
the story could only be CLEANED, but
we give what we have gotten. The
maniac, Lizzie Detrick, is a native of
Hagerstown, Md, and is reputcd to
be worth considerable property.
which she has saved thr )ugh hard
working life of forty years. Some
time since she was employed as
pastry cook at the Dill House, III this
city. A few weeks ago she left Fred
erick to return to her home in
l Iagerstown, where her father lived.
1t seems tnat she was doubtful
whether she wanted to enter tie
bonds of wedlocll or not, but at all
events she kept up correspondence
with two admirers, one William
Gymans, Of Vermont and another
man whose name we could not learn
but who liyeS out on the western
frontier. Mr.. Gymans is a WidoWer,
very supple. at the age of fifty, and
although he has loved before it APP
pears that he can and does love again
and ShiS time to a woman who is
now confined in Montevue. The
Western man has been quieted by a
letter, which probably Knocked his
air castles of married bliss higher
than kite. Mr.. Gymans, being the
fortunate man, proceeded to take
Miss Detrick's bank account in his
own keeping, ostensibly to make
preparations for the wedding day,
which was fast approaching. Thus
day last was the day appointed for
the ceremony. The couple visited a
priest in HagerstOWn, and just as the
words were about to be pronounced
making them man and wife, the
woman went off into a spasm and
was carried from the church a raving
maniac. The. natural result followed
there was no marriage. A jury was
impanneled, who found the woman
insane, a guardian appointed to look
after her poperty, etc. Mr. Gymans
has visited Montevue within the
past day or two to see the woman he
still longs to make his wife, but
under the circumstances the cere-
mony will probably be postponed for
some time to ome.--Freole, ick Nd. J

THE GREAT LAND SUiT.-It was
announced sometime since that
Mrs. Millar, of New York, had insti-
tuted suit in that city for the recoy-
cry of large amount of patent land
lying in Virginia; West Virginia,
Kentucky and the city of PhiIadel-
phia. The New York Herald says
these lands were purchased from the
State Of Virginia BY John Young. a
wealthy cracker and army fjfean bsi-
ker, between the years 1885 and 1912.
For certain family reasons patents to
the amount Of 10000 acres, though
registered in various court houses,
were kept bv son of John Young's
for many years locked up in box.
Last summer this gentleman, Ferdt-
nand NJ. Young, of Baton Rouge,
La, gave the documents to his
daughter, Mrs. Millar, together with
a quit claim, which enables her to
bring suit where she resides. The
deed was placed on record in New
York short time ago, and several
OF the parties who are now occupying
the land have expressed their will;
lngnesS to compromise. She will
probably pursue the same course as
Mrs. Gaines did in New Orleans, and
will use the money received from
these compromises to prosecute the
other claims. The only heirs so far
known are Ferdinand NJ. Young;
Baton Rouge; his daughter Mrs.
Millar VIM. Nash Young, Fred
erick City, Nd, and John Ball, of
Philadelphia. A valuable portion of
the claim consists OF Property in the
immediate vicinity Of Washington
Square, Philadelphia, and also in
Alexandria, Va. Portions of the
lands are now occupied by the Cen
tral and other coal companies. Por-
.tions Of the lands in West Virginia
were surveyed by George Washing
ton, to whose wife, the ex-Widow
CuStis, John Young was related by
marriage.

The Chinese idea OfprogreSs see ms
TO be ul11erenT IN all things rom the
American. The first railroad eXper-
iment in China has come to grief.
A nine mile railroad owned by Eng
lishmen was constructed between
Shanghae and Woosung, which it
was hoped would hasten the build
ing Of other lines, for which the
country is adapted. Under the con-
ditions of the contract for building
the read the government could take
possession of it as soon as the lest
installment of the contract price was
paid. In order to famiIiarize the
natives with the ''tire dragon" as
they call the locomotive, the CON
tractors were to operate the inoom-
plete sections of the road at their own
cost. AS soon as the Chinese author
tiles got POSSESSION of the railroad
they stepped all traffic, intending to
allow it to go to decay. The intro
duction Of railways is opposed in
China on the ground that they would
deprive poor people of the subsist-
ence they now earn as carriers by
land and water.
