In your speech delivered before the
citizens of Calais and Eastport you con-
graduated them on their wonderful re
cuperative energy, as displayed In the
rebuilding of the latter town after the
great fire. which nearly swept it out of
existence. a few years ago You reminded
them, however. that they never could have
hoped to accomplish this task but for the
assistance they had derived from the pres
ent protective tariff, and then you held up
for your and their eXecration the Mills bill,
and showed them how it invited the Cana
dians to bring in. without duty, every
form of timber, hewn and sawed, and
squared and sided. Now, If you will turn
to the record of the Forty-ninth congress,
you will find there a petition, signed by
the selectmen of Eastport, and dated i'm
mediately after the fire, asking congress
to come to the relief of the stI icEen town,
and permit all building materials to be
brought in free of duty. in order that the
work of rebuilding the town might be
burdenSome duties. Accompanying this
petition was bill to grant what the petit
TONERS asked for, and 1T was introduced
by Congressman Boutelle, who made a
speech in it's favor, In the course of
which he called attention to the fact that
it only followed precedents that had been
established after the great fro In Port
land in 1886. Now, did these suffering
people of Eastport know what was for
their best interests when they asked for
this relief. and did Congressman BoutelIe
understand what he was talking about
when he asked for the passage of this re
lief bill? In other words, are the people
of EGstport and Capt. Boutelle on record
as favoring tho protective system in times
of distress, or are they really for putting
raw materials on the free list when it
comes to pinch at their own honest
Boston Herald.

In his history Mr. Blaine says of the
act of 1857, which reduced the tariff of
1916 nearly 20 per cent, and extended the
free list because of the surplus revenue
that it yielded:
"By this law the duties were placed
lower than they had been at any time
since the war of 1912. The act was well
received by the people, and was indeed con-
CURED in by considerable proportion of
the Republican party. Mr.. Seward voted
against it, but his colleague. Mr. Hamil-
ton Fish. voted for it. Mr.. Sumner and
Mr.. Wilson both voted for it, as did also
Senator Allen. of Rhode Island, the direct
representative of the manufacturers of
that state. In the house the
New England representatives generally
voted for the bill. 1t was an
extraordinary political combination that
brought the senators from Massachusetts,
and the senators from South Carolina, the
representatives from New England and
from the cotton states, to support the
same tariff bill"
And of the tariff of 1851 Mr.. Blaine
very truly says that this action was not
taken as an ayowed movement for pro-
lection. but merely as measure to In
crease the revenue"
So far from bringing disaster" the
tariff act of 1916 inaugurated one of the
most prosperous epochs that this country
has ever known. Manufactures multi
piled. Wages increased. Agriculture
prospered.-New York World.

We have received from Mr.. Nathaniel
Mckay proof slip of horrible story,
which he has given to the press gener-
ally, of the wretchedness, poverty, misery
and low wages which he was able to dis
cover In a two months search hi free
screed, and we will guarantee that we
can duplicate every story of misery which
Mr.. Mckay relates, on the east side of
New York and in the mining regions of
Pennsylvania. We will forfeit $500 If we
cannot secure more narrowing accounts
of human misery in Russia, one of the
best protected countries in Europe, or in
Germany, for that matter.
There is not fact brought out in Nc
KRy's museum of horrors which is not
the concomitant of overpopulation-too
many people for the amount of work to
be given out. II Mckay is anxious to ex-
cite the American people he should let
loose q few bugaboos from China, that
beautifully protected Fowery Land where
poverty fourished and humanity famished
perchance 6,C00 years before the timber
grew which Noah used in the construc-
tion of his ark. Tho idea of comparing
the condition of people in this free, rich,
practically unsettled country with the
teeming lives of the Old World, where
hundreds stand ready to seize every job
of work offered, Is too absurd for consid
Grafton.
The only relief that we can see for the
people SO pathetically portrayed in Nc
Kay's penny dreadful" is forthem to fol-
low the example of the McKays and come
to America. There is no tax on immi-
grants, and after we have filed the land
with human beings. as England is filed,
we may know what the bitter struggle for
existence means. We shall have hunger,
and want and low wages then. even
though we build Chinese wall about our
selves.-New York World.

Once in a while the Tribune drops into
common sense in dealing with the wages
question. For example. in answering q
question put by 'Laborers," it says:
This note of inquiry illustrates com
mon mistake. .Laborers' make the
blunder 50 often made by Democratic
statesmen; they suppose that less cost
implies lower wugcs. Wages in the iron
manufacture are higher from IA to II per
cent. than they were in 1860, and yet iron
and all Its products are cheaper. So
wages on every railroad are higher than
they were twenty years ago, while the
cost OF transportation is less than half as
great"
If there is any one thing that Demo.
cratic statesmen" in the present congress
have been trying to hammer into the
heads of Republican statesmen, it is tho
idea that Iesg cost does not imply lower
wages. The Whole Republican argument
on the tariff has run on the opposite
idea that less cost can only be achieved by
lowering wages, and hence that rednc-
ton Of the tariff means reduction of
wages. We are glad to have The Tri-
buncis authority for the contrary opinion

a writer in Nature states that three
cases have come under his personal OBJ
servation in which brown skinned natives
in very different Parts of the world
blacken their faces to protect them from
intense light and heat. The examples he
gives are those of the Inhabitants of
Morocco, as we'll as of others along the
north of Africa. who blacken themselves
around the eyes for the purpose of avert
ing ophtlialnlia from the glare OF hot
sand. The natives of Fiji pursue the
same method, as do also the natives of
the SikIim Hills, and it is only reason
