Marvellous ProEreBss

In Dlaincs admirable letter OF accep'
tance nothing is more striking than biz
maatcrlul way Of making comparative
exhibit Of the counlry's progress in the &C.
cumula.ion OF wealth. According to the
careful and thorough census OF 1860 the
"truo value Of all property in the United
Stalce waa fourteen thousand millions OF
dollars (SA,CO0,OO00O0)." "Thia agsre-
gate" Bays Mr.. Blaine in his impressive
style, Twas the net result Of the labor and
the savings CT all tho people within the
area Of tho United States from
the time Of the frat British
colonis. landed in 1907 Gown to the year
1850. It represented the fruit Of the toll oil
two hundred and fifty years.
Then comes the result OF the protective
tariff OF 1850, with al that it has encour.
aged md developed. Ga this Nj. Blaine
Gays: "At the end Of twenty years tho to-
tai property oithe United States, as return.
ed by the census Of 1850, amounted to the
enormous aggregate OF ior:y-iour thousand
millions Of dollars tS44. 100000. 00O). This
great resul. WIS attained notwithstanding
the !sct that countless millions had in the
interval been waatea i'll the progress Of a
bloody war. l! thus appears that while our
population between 1860 and 1850 increas-
cd sixty percent, the aggregate property OF
the country increased two hundred and
fourteen percsnt-ahowing vastly en-
HANGED wealth per capita among the peo'
pie. Thirty thousand millions Of dollars
Csc. 000,0CO,0o0) had been added during
these twenty years to the permanent
wealth Of the nation" The world has
never seen the like OF this accumulation OF
wealth-a people laying up one hundred
and twenty-five millions a month (Sl25,-
000,0O0) Tor twenty years, in spite Of the
waste Of the most terrible civil conflict in
history. We IRE gaining faster now-our
own country 10 storing for the comfort and
further employment oil the people third

Free traders maintain that this wonder.
ful progress ia no testimony to the
bene6cent effect Of protective tariff; that
in fact all this has been accomplished in
spite Of a protective tariff. But there was
no ouch pEogreeh, as We have seen, under
the opposite policy-in no. period Of
twenty years did the wealth Of the country
increase nearly four times as fast as its
population in spite Of free trade or its sub.
startial equivalent, tariff for revenue only.
1t lie easy toseo why protection pays, and
history supports the theory. It is SIS plain
whys "tarilI'for-reyenus.only" does rot
pay, and history shows that to DO losing
venture.
The country is about to cay whether it
approves tho policy which has made it rich
beyond the comprehension OF older peo-
pies, and which is now only fairly under
way; or whether it will give its car to the
English idea, throw its labor out OF employ.

As the evil that men do often lives after
them, 30 does the circus leave behind it
intllences that ste not often for the best.
In the h,st place the mind Of tho boy is
very sentative to Impressions, and weeks
before the advent Of the show he will be
found studying the pictorial wonders stuck
to tho dead walls aud bill boards. To the
mature mind the impoa,ibls ieats arc set
down aB impcssibilities, but enthusiastic
and trusting youth believes in them, and
his eyes are only opened when he attends
the performance and finds that they only
lived in chroma,ic coiors to catch the eye
aud raiHs the expectation. This cheat
rankl,s in hia brain and ia the foundation
ior tksp:irisn, which grows with hisgrowlh.
