THE NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE-Bos on.
IS Bromfeld street, Boston.
In the issue of this month there Is s
strong point made by Arthur Latham
Perry Of Willisms College, in favor OF
free trade. This writer contends that the
time for freedom of trade is GVerripe and
that the protectionists ought not to claim
further guardianship from the govern
ment; and declares as q result obtained
from careful study Of proportions that
under color of tariff taxes the people are
paying more money into the Treasury
than Is needed for governmental purposes
although Investigation shows that not
more than one dollar out Of five psid gets
into the Treasury, the four dollars hnd-
Ing its way into legAl'zed fayorltlsm. The
conclusion he derives is that Is, the IUnittd
States have found free trade as between
themselves advantageous, In greater
degree will the some course result feilci-
tously IS between themselves and the rest
Of the world.
The Puritan Fathers have sent their
sons throughout this broad land and news
from home Is always welcome, therefore
this magazine comes to these as letters
from home. 1t is full of the lore of New
England, and furnishes In several well
written articles many facts pertaining to
localities and questions involving the
colonial history OF that section OF the
Union.
"The Bride of Newburyport" Is a story
we'll told by Florence K. Weld OF the
customs prevailing in the early days OF
earnest simplicity. There was no trifilng
with maiden affection permitted in those
days. Such breach WAS regarded IS q
matter for church discipline. Evidently
the Miles Standishes and John Fletchers
OF that era were too seriously al va to the
Of heart affairs to tolerate
any "playing at love-"
Through the courtesy OF T. M. Jones &
Co., Dallas, Tex, the reader at soar
Book Table" is permitted to interview
IS Mr.. Potter Of Texse," presented by an
author whose previous essays Ia tae field
Of fiction warranted at least the hope that
there would be something Of merit in
this, his latest work. The hope enter
tanned is transmitted ainto mSIVel, and
laying down the book, one signs for
quarantine against pestilentisl literature
"Mr. Potter Of Texas" might easily be
"Mr. Potter of Anywhere."t Dog ianciers
would call bin a mongrel, geologtsEs
would term the specimen congloDerste,
and Texans repudiete the creation as us-
terly foreign to their land. Cattle kings
and Congressman of this latitude may not
borrow culture rom England,
but they certainly do not
know the cockney "Hingllsh"
Of London. The plot is unreal, and the
situations altogether imprscticsble. ENJOY
Sarah in Egypt and Lady Sarah in France
are SO distinct that there Is no alchemy
that could produce such character sven
wish the crucible Of Jealousy.
The author may CLAIM originality, but
1t Is Of kind to awaken q wish in the
mind of the reader that the creator may
preserve the exclusive right.
The movers in the immigration scheme
sre not seeking his class, but II this
author will avail himself Of EXCELSIOR
rates, q committee Will wait upon him
and take pleasure in showing him genuine
specimens of the genus "Texan.'
