No PRACTICAL DIFFERENCE.

A free trade conference is in session
Mt Detroit, Mich. 1t is composed OF
very bright men. We are foolish
enough-if foolishness II be-to believe
that no political party in the United
States can be united and led 10 success
under the banner Of free trade. The
question Is economic. II Ia also local.
In manufacturing district tho ten
dency is to support for Congress men
who favor protection. In district
wherein raw material Is produced and
manufactures DO not exist, the free
traders are usually in the majority.
Tho reason il simple. Each locality
favors ita interest. OF tho two Sena-
tors, for instance, from Indiana, one,
Mr.. Mcdonald, Ii a free trader, the
other, Mr.. Voorhees,, is protectionist.
Both are Democrats. The former wants
n tariff for revenue; the latter wants a
tariff for protection. After all, they
both want q tariff, and the question is,
How high shall imports be taxed 2
Practically there Is no difference while
We are Obliged TO raise 30 great rev.
enue rs now. The average rate Of duty
upon all imports Is said to DO forty per
cent. II this be true, and the raising of
sufficient revenue requires this per
centage, q tariff for revenue IL nothing
less than a protective tariff. 1t may vary
in details, IL may DO simple or complex,
II may DO nomiually levied solely for
revenue purposes, but the fact remains
chat forty per cent. average of duty is
protection. There Is no reason, there
fore, for great disagreement until II Is
decided 10 largely reduce the revenue Of
the Government.

,letsG srr VETERAN MISSIONARY.

In 1865, C. A. Chilcott accepted COM
mission from the American Baptist
Missionary Union as assistant of DR..
VIM. Dean, in Bangkok Siam, and
passed through San Francisco with
some of our citizens for his destined
field. His intended wife being hindered
from attending him, followed about
year after, but when she landed 10000
miles from home the young hopeful
bride found herself lone widow, her
lover having died three weeks before
her arrival.
Determined not to waste her young
life in mourning she entered Mr.. Deans
family and was appointed instead of
him who had died. and for eighteen
years has labored faithfully in the Chi
nese field, becoming noted as one Of the
first movers of the Woman's Baptist
Mission Society. She is q passenger
from San Francisco to Seattle, where
q public reception will be given her by
appropriate services at the Baptist
Church IN Wednesday evening next.
The several women's societies, bands
and circles will be represented, and
Miss Fielde will respond with lecture
on her peculiar work among the Chinese.

A new plan for keeping track Of la


A new plan for keeping track Of la
borers Is noted by an Eastern exchange:
In building certain railroad large
number Of Italian laborers were en-
ployed. II was simply impossible to
identify them by their jSw-distortinR
names, 30 the contractors hit upon the
bright idea of numbering them. The
number Of each man was painted in
plain figures ON the seat of his panta-
looms. Before work at morning and at
noon. and on quitting at night, the
men form in line and the foreman
passes down the rear Of the line and
takes tho numbers Of those present. This
IL better than roll call in more ways
than enc. II is easier, and fear OF eras-
iae the number and losing q days
work. keeps the men from sitting down
too much OF the time.
