May IA, 1862; the original treaty with
the Netherlands, May 90, 1900, and a
whales tooth sent as u treaty by the
King of the Fiji Islands. The wax seals
securing the pages Of these treaties are
particularly interesting, and the engrav-
ing on the gold and silver boxes which
contain the seals are well worth atten-
ton.
A second medal case contains thirty
nine bronze medals, voted to various Off
GERS of the army and navy in commemo-
ration of their services to the country.
A medal voted to Gen. U. S. Grant, Gen.
pCh' w LIZ iiulhiooh
and Gen. Winfield S. Scott, are among
the number. Another medal case con-
tains gold fpd silver medals, presented
to the U. S. Government for its various
services. Here is found the gold medal
awarded to the Department Of State for
it's exhibit at the Cincinnati Exposition
in 1884, and the gold medal awarded the

and this copy is prominently displayed.

missioners are looking closely after the
welfare of the myriads Of strangers who
daily visit the great show. A pleasant
portion of the Park Building has been
set aside to be used as hospital where
those who are suffering from temporary
indisposition may be taken and attended
to by competent physicians and nurses
until convaLescent. Nice clean beds and
lounges are to be found there, and all
the appliances OF a tirst-class hospital.
Many unfortunates have been restored to
health and comfort by the ministrations
of Dr. Querner and his assistants, and
in one instance newborn babe and its
mother were made comfortable In the
institution, and nursed until able to be
taken home. Old people overcome by
unusual exertion in strolling about the
mammoth buildings are kindly cared for;
and, in short, the hospital is a haven of
rest to those WHO are not in robust
health.

South American Trade.

The total foreign trade of South
America is estimated ut 300, 100000
by one OF the leading mercantile
agencies. notwithstanding its proX-
unity to the United States, hardly
one-fifth of the total trade is done
with this country. This inequality
becomes remarkable when the
showing of other countries are con-
sidered. OF the total trade Of the
Argentine Republic, France takes
o2 per cent, Great Britain 22, Bel
gium Il, Germany ., and the United
States q per cent. With other coun-
tries the comparison Is stiIl less
favorable. Ask y Republican why
fhis is, and see what he says.

Wool andTariM

The preteXt for retaining tariff on
wool is that the tax is necessary to
protect wool growers. In support
of this claim long arrays of figures
are printed showing how the sheep
have increased in number and
woolen manufacturing in amount
since the high tariff was adopted.
Such figures prove nothing.
Horses, hogs, cattle and mules
have multiplied in even greater
ratio without any protection.
AS a cold fact the number of
sheep diminished under the highest
wool tariff ever enacted-that of
1867, of 80 to go per cent. The
total number of sheep in the United
States in 1867, was 39,3S5,3S6. Ten
years later-a tariff of from AZ to
so per cent, being in force all the
time-the number was only 36,905,
200. 1t was in 1869 that thousands
of sheep were slaughtered for their
pelts.
1t is not true that tariffs fix the
prices of domestic wool. 1t is the
demand of manufacturers-in 9TH
er words the consumption-that
makes the price. Prices have
been low under high tariffs and
high under low tariffs. In 1917,
under II 30 per cent, tariff, the
market price of wool was Al cents.
Thirty years later, under IA 35 to 80
cent tariff, the price was exactly
the same. In 1858, with wool not
costing over 90 cents free, and all
Canadian wool free, the price was
45. In 1868, under 80 to60 per
cent. tariff, the price was AZ. Last
year it was 32 cents, under an av-
'erage tariff of 3S per cent. Today
il is even less.
Such protection taxes but does
not protect. Free wool will ben
eft the farmers as much as other
consumers.

Benevolent MiIlionaircs

The organization of the "Thousand
Defenders of American Industry"
Is really one of the most gratifying
events of modern times. III shows
lofty unselfishness in quarters
where we should least expect it.
Here are n thousand gentleman
who do no work with their own
hand but who hire the work of 9th
ers. Naturally their interests
would seem to lay in the direction
of cheap labor. But they care
nothing for selfish interests. They
have banded together in u move
ment to secure higher wages for
theirworkmen, and their hearts are
so set on this object that they have
contributed 100000 to help it along.
This money is not to be spent
directly in wages lit is to be spent
in persuading the people of the
United States to tax themselves and
hand the proceeds over to the pub
1ic-spirited Defenders. These
gentleman will then use it in rails
ing the general rate of wages, un-
less they can see better openings
for it i'm other directions. On the
roll of signers we notice the names
of those friends of the workingman,
the Standard Oil Company, Levi
p. Morton, stephen B. Elkins,
Carnegie Bros. &Co., John Jarrett,
the Waterbury Watch Co., Walter
Phelps, the Joliet Steel Co.,and the
Calumet Iron and Steel Co. The
Waterbury Watch Co. at present
turns out it's watches at q total
labor cost of fifty cents apiece, and
completely drives the pauper
matchmaker of Europe literally to
the poor-house. The Joliet Steel
Co. and the Calumet Iron and Steel
Go. we believe joined in the 10 per
cent reduction of wages recently
ordered by the Steel Trust. Mr..
Jarretts record in behalf of Amer
lean labor is too well known to need
reproduction. Is it not cheering
spectacle to see all these people
sitting up nights to contrive means
of paying higher wages to working
men? San Francisco E.ganiher
