BLAINE IN THE SARATOGA DIS

Congressman West Says Nine-tenths OF
the Republicans Want the Old Leader.

Congressman George West, of Ballston,
who has just been elected delegate to
the Republican National Convention from
the Saratoga district, was in New York
city day or two ago. He was extremely
busy with his business affairs, which now
include the presidency Of large railroad.
But he found time to say in reference to
politics that in spite of the report that he
was for John sherman. he is a Blaine man
out and out. Said he:
II believe as Judge L'Amoreaux said
recently, that nine out of every ten Republi-

district than any other Republican. At Chi
cago we want to select a man who is strong
enough to carry the election. If such a man
is selected as shall meet the fair Endorsement
of all the delegates in the Convention, we

Proposed Government Aid To An Air
Ship.

Last week bill was favorably reported
in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, appropriatng $l50,000 to enable
\. De Bausset To construct an air ship, an
invention of his consisting essentially of
a metallic vessel made up in compartments
and otherwise suitably braced and
strengthened against external weight or
pressure, so that when sufficiently eX-
hausted of air it will, by displacement of a
bulk of external air greater than its
weight, rise in the air and sustain and
carry a desired burden.
The vessel is to be provided with pumps
for exhauSting the air, rapidly revoluble
blades or propelcrS for moving and steer
ing necessary machinery, electrical
storage batteries to supply power, and al
so with means for transporting pas
scngers and freight, the whole to consti-
tute a conveyance for rapid passage at
short or long distances for overland or
for trans-oceanic passage, and for general
purposes of commerce, exploration, obser-
walton, etc.
The Secretary of the Navy is authorized
to give VI. De Bausset the use of the
government navy yards. Amendments
to the bill provide that no money shall be
put into the scheme by the government
until VI. DE Daussct has put 200 into
the enterprise, and commission, APP
pointed by the secretary. is satisfied that
progress with the work is being made.
The government will then advance S75,-
successful tests of the ship has been made.
Asa matter of curiosity this is an interest
ing scheme, if not practical.

The Operation of Free Trade and Pro-
lection In England and Germany Com
pared.

1t is highly interesting aud important to
all who wish to get the truth relative to
the comparative merits of Free Trade and
Protection not only to give the views of
able and experienced statesmen on the
other side of the Atlantic, but to obtain
the results of practical experience in the
countries they represent. In England,
where at present the Free Traders seem to
be losing numbers, and the Fair Traders"
are increasing, and growing more and
more aggressive and determined. Sir Ed
ward Sullivan. in recent article in the
London Post, makes the following striking
comparisons:
Under free trade the masses must get
poorer, because they get less employment
A well-known statistical work gives COM
parson of the material progress of France
under protection and England under free
trade. If there is any truth in figures it
ought to startle us from our free trade dream.
The comparison is based on the returns of
legacy duty:
In 1926 England was los. head richer
than France.
In 1850 England was los. head richer
than France.
In 1877 England was 5s a head poorer than
France.
France has 81 per cent. of her land under
tillage and it is increasing every wear.
The United Kingdom has 30 per cent. of
land under tillage, and it is diminishing every
year; but the population of England increases
much more rapidly than the population of
France.
The commerce of England has increased
FL per cent. in ten years.
The commerce of France has increased
- per cent. il. ten years.
The commerce of the United States has
increased IS per cent in ten years.
The commerce of the whole world has in
creased 20 per cent. in ten years.
So much for the blasting effect of Free
Trade.
In Germany, so long ago as the l4th of
May 1882, Bismark, in speech before the
German Reichstag, paid to the Republi-
can Tariff these emphatic compliments :

The Author of the Mills Bill

A certain J. :. Moore, a member or the
Golden Club and a representative of GER
tain British interests in this country, is
charged with being the author of the Mills
Bill. Congressman Russell, of Connecti-
cut, made the charge in Congress the other
day, and challenged the Free Trade mem
bers Of the Ways and Means Committee
to refute it. So far not a member of the
WAYS and Means Committee have made
an unequvocal denial Of Mr.. Russell's
statement. It seems that Moore dined
aud wined the Free Trade members of
the Ways and Means Committee with the
object of ingratiating himself with them
so IA to be better able to accomplish his
purpose, which was to have Congress
pass bill that would be a. near Free
Trade measure AS circumstances would
permit.

terianmcnts was betrayed by Englishmcn

firmly secured and preparations made to

"About midnight" said the narrator,
''Certain peculiar noises were heard
about the prison and were repeated with
an emphasis which compelled attention.
Instinctively the guard knew that these
noises proceeded from Apaches who were
