A GREAT many relics and valuable curiosites
were lost some months ago by the burning of
the Pittsburg Exposition building. The owner
of Bible printed in 1929 and of glass rolling
pin $50 years old has brought suit to recover $780,
the alleged value of these articles. A handsome
Bible and a really excellent rolling-pin can be
purchased for much smaller sum than 5000, but
the loser of the relics would probably refuse to
have his treasures thus replaced. In the event
of the suit being decided in the plaintiffs favor
the Exposition company can make ready topay
fancy prices for a vast quantity of old junk.

THE stately Boston Advertiser can hardly be
suspected of having been retained by the mer-
chant tailors of that city, but it complains of
the lack of originality and artistic feeling shown
by wearers of ready-made clothes in manner
which would cause suspicion of any other jour
nal After philosophizing over the matter it
concludes by saying that Everybody knows
that he who puts a suit of clotes puts on
much more-he puts on the ideas that properly
belong herewith and are generated thereby. In
the ready-made clothes there is nothing to slim
uate the mind or to strengthen the character
On the contrary, vulgarity turks in every fold of
them, and commonpacedness is hidden in the
pockets"

A little local newspaper burlesque, estab-
lished and run on a capital of $25, attempts
TO force itself into notice by assailing State s
Attorney l.. W. Brewer. Starting out with
al complaints of his inetiiciency, whereas
the testimony of judges and bar is earnest
and unanimous to the contrary, the particu-
lar complaint is made that he neglected to
have f. J. Wall prosecuted for his alleged
forgeries The ignorance involved in the
accusation is in keeping with the uniform
lack of intelligence displayed by this $50
ciety editor Three or four persons in
Ottawa, il is said, were swindled, or at
tempted to he swindled, out of considerable
sums by Mr.. Wall by means of forgery,
These persons and their attorneys were
probably cognizant of the facts and were
the proper persons TO 90 before the grand
jury and make complaint One of them
did 90 SO far, we are told, as to have Mr.
Brewer draw up "A complaint for the pur-
pose of having Wall arrested, but failed to
make oath to il, and il fell through. Mr.
Brewer personally knew no more Of the
facts than the editor of the little newspaper
parody referred TO- and Of course was una
bic, even if it was Il part of his duty, which
it is not, to appear as prosecuting witness
in the case. If he had 50 appeared, il
would have been the duty Of the court to
appoint another prosecutor 10 conduct the
case. Mr.. Brewer, it is as well To say,
shirks no duty, and if any person sufii-
ciently conyersant with the facts will
90 before the grand jury and make the
proper complaint, or take any other appro-
pirate legal steps TO bring the case into
court, Mr.. Brewer no doubt will be found
ready enough to prosecute il with his
wonted vigor and efficiency.

PLATE GLASS.

The are four plate glass manufactures
in the United States, the principal one OF
which is owned by De PAW at New Alba
ny, Ind, hut the four are closely organized
in syndicate SO that there is no competi-
ton between them. This De Paw admit
ted when before the Congressional Com
mission on tariff revision two years ago,
and he further admitted, that if the tariff
on soda ash and the chemicals used in the
manufacture of glass was removed the
plate glass interest would need compare
lively little protection, though the tariff at
the time amounted to over 100 per cent
No change was made in the tariff, how
ever, and last year the manufacture of
plate glass in the United States amounted
TO S,3Oj dollars worth while the United
States imported S2,1S3,595, on which the
duty paid was $3,1GG,2l2. Thus the peo-
pie of the United States paid over three
millions of dollars in hard money as sub.
sidy to syndicate for making SSGS,OOO
worth of plate glass. There are 700 per.
sons employed in these four factories at
the average pay of $4l7 per year each. If
the object of the tariff is the protection of
American labor the consumers could
afford to pay each workman pension of
81 900 year and then save over S2,00O,0O0
annually by the operation.
BY the letter of Secretary Frelinghuysen
sent to Congress on Monday, on the subject
of the restriction of France and Germany
against the importation into those countries
of American pork, and the reports of our
consuls on the subject, it appears that
those countries, and France particularly,
make no pretense that the reason for the
inhibition they make against our pork is
that il is unwholesome, but they exclude it
because our tariff laws exclude so many
products of those countries, and notably
the plate glass manufactured by France.
Would it not be II paying operation on the
part of our farmers, who are losing mil
lions Il year by the exclusion of American
pork from France and Germany, to pen
sion off the 700 persons now employed
here in making plate glass, so that they
could exchange their pork for much bet
ter article, obtainabe at less than half the
cost in France?

FREE TRADE AND EXPORTS.

There is ANYTHING but cause of discOur-
agement in the fact that the United States
last year exported $l0S012 ,GS4 more Of its
products to foreign countries than it i'm
ported of foreign products, Free trade, or
"a tariff for revenue only" would reverse
this desirable state of things right speed
ily.-Chicogo J0nrnol.
Our shipments abroad consist mainly of
agricultural products which are not pro
tected," and few manufactured articles
like agricultural implements non protected
while our exports of all other manufac-
tured articles do not amount to S25,0OO,OO0
a wear, against an annual export, of Eng
land, of S4O00O0,0OO, and by Germany Of
S30O00O000 worth Of manufactured ar
ticleS. A plentiful crop in Europe and the
East and short crop here would put such
"A check upon our exports that we would
have comparatively nothing to exchange
for the annual S100,0O0,000 of foreign man
ufactures and products we import The
only provision we can make against such a
calamity is by the operation of free trade
To create Il market abroad for our manufac-
lures.
"But would free trade make a foreign
market for our manufacturers? was asked
n few DAYS ago of Thomas b. Atterbury,
head of the great glass manufacturing
establishments at Pittsburg that bears his
name, and this was his answer:
",Whv, even under our high protection
we ship Il quantity OF domestic goods
abroad If this protection were abolished
we would ship Il great deal more. WIN
dow glass manufacturer told me day or
two awo that ii we had complete free trade
we conld control the markets of Canada in
that commodity.
The Spanish American trade belongs to
us, if to anybody. We are the ones near
est to their doors, rs well as TO Australia,
and vet we have to stand by and see all the
world beat lis right under our nose.
Would not England be too much for
u.s."
mo. sir: the only thing that England
really prays for to-day is that the United
States remain high protection country
The tariff keeps English goods to large
degree out of our market; nut IN return II
gives England the markets of all the rest
of the world. England knows well enough
that with all our natural advantages we
would he, under free trade, her most severe
rival But she knows that as long as we
keep up our high tariff we can never
amount 10 anything AS an exporting nation
This talk about British gold being used to
make us IA free trade nation is humbug. II
the British ever propose to send corrup-
tiou fund over here it will be to perpetuate
protection. England to-day sends ten
times as much goods to Spanish America
as we do. and vet she has considerably fur
Their to carry them"
There is great deal of that Kind OF
talk Just now among the big manufacturers
at Pittsburg and all over Pennsylvania

under the sway of the protection deiu-

THE PORK QUESTION.

According to Secretary Frelnghuysen,
While our hog raisers and pork packers
may be Justly indignant at the exclusion of
American pork from France, Germany and
| Italy on the ground that it is infested with
trichinae, when there is no proof of such Il
fact, are they AS able with equal readiness
TO meet the objection which the nations
mentioned make to the free importation of
our pork, and which Mr. Frelinghuysen
saws is the real one, that America, while
asking "A free market within their borders
for the hog products, excludes from her
own borders, by iliberal tariff regulations,
the products of these countries? The talk
of retaliatory Legislation on our side is thus
behind the time; in point of fact it has al
ready been inauguated on the other side,
for that ir Just what the exclusion of our
pork is intended to mean But France, Ger
many, &c, have not said so, and Mr.
Frelinghuysen would be discreet. Let us
act. he says. on the assumption that the on
" reason they have publicly given-the bad
quality of our pork-iS the true one, pro
coed to show, by evidence satisfactory to
reasonable men, that the charge against
our pork is without foundation, and then
let our Executive call the attention of such
friendly nations to the provisions OF the
a. la ,vplt,sn,, ,yinlu.nS. and
of that appeal is not respected, then the pro
posals for retalatory legislation on our side
will be abundantly in order.
But suppose those countries then throw
off the disguise and say right out: Your
tariffs exclude the surplus products of our
skilled labor and therefore we cannot al
ford to buy the surplus products of your
farms. Retaliate and be blowed!
Then how will the case stand? During
the last year this country exported to Eu-
rope, mostly agricultural products, to the
amount of 1898 ,s39, 402, and took in pay
ment of this sum foreign goods to the
amount of S123 1904, leaving balance
in our favor of about SlOO,OOO,OOO, which
should have been paid to Us in gold, but
which in fact has about all gone to pay
principal and interest on foreign invest
ments in this country. But suppose we
had no foreign creditors, and this 100000,
600 each year was retained, and in addition
our manufactures were so developed by
our protective tariff that the T1OO,OOOOOO
of our annual import Of foreign goods was
no longer needed, how long would it take
our foreign market for $500, 100000 of farm
products to gobble up Ill the gold in the
world. or-what would of course be the in
evitable result long before that how long
would il be before the expectation OF any
of the surplus of our farms must totally
cease
Does it begin to glimmer on the minds
of our farmers that this pork business cuts
several ways and that it somehow has a
very decided bearing on the so-called "prc-
tective" tariff system?
