The Growth Of Protection Abroad.

A great change in public sentiment
on the tariff question has been taking
place in many European nations. A
few years ago free trade was the ac-
copied policy of the greater part of
Europe. It was so generally adopted
that protection was called, by distjnc-
ton, the American system.
Times change and men change with
them. The folly Of free trade and the
wisdom of protection are being recog-
nized in many parts of Europe. The
United States minister to Holland in a
recent report to the State Department
sends a copy of an editorial in the organ
of the conservative party at the Hague.
It suggests very plainly that a return
to protection in Holland is not i'm
probable. It calls attention to the
changed feeling on this subject in
many parts of Europe. and notes that
the free-traders are advocating their
doctrine very feebly now, in the face
of the satisfactory results which come
from protection. Several nations that
formerly tried free trade are now
adopting protection, and are greatly
pleased at the change.

how many famous women have had
auburn hair. Catherine, Of Russia,
gloried in it and Anne, of Austria, had
brown hair just on the verge Of being

proud of her warm tresses and Mary

They Favor the American System.

The platform of the Iowa Republi-
cans favors the American system of
protection and demands that farm
products shall share its benefits equal
ly with the products of other indus
tries. Mr.. Richman, temporary chair
man Of the Iowa Democratic Conven-
ton, referring il his opening address
to The =! If plank Of the Republican
| platform, said:
"Why, every schoolboy knows that
the American farmer meets no compe-
tition in the American market, and
that consequently to talk of protecting
him against foreign competition here is
sheer absurdity. You might as well
talk Of protecting the Chinaman
against his competitors of foreign tea
in the Chicago market, OF the Green
lander against the competition of for
eign ice in the Greenland market.
The whole thing is stuff and nonsense.
And, what Is more, the gentlemen who
assembled in Des Moines a month ago,
to frame this tariff u%tterance, knew it
to be stuff and nonsense. Their object
was simply to hoodwink the farmer"
The facts and figures given to tie
public in the reports of the Bureau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department
furnish ample refutation of Mr.. Rich
mans statement, and also show which
party is trying to hoodwink the farmer.

The. Parties and the Debt.

The Republican party has been in
power for six months in the executive
branch of the Government, and in two
of these mouths, as the Democrats
have recently informed the country,
the national indebtedness was Gin
creased" while in the other four a re-
duction was made. If the Democrats
had extended their inquiry into this
mattera little further back they would
have discovered a similar popularity
in the last half of the Cleveland ad.
ministration. That is to say, in four
months of that period the debt lessened
and in two months it was expanded.
And if their Investigations had led
them to make a computation as to the
changes in the debt during the periods
referred to they would have seen that
the account stood thus:

FEMININE ARSENIC EATERS.

1NA
tence and Communication of sentence OF
Mrs. Maybrick. charged with the poi
soning of her husband, and her defense,
through which she claimed that the
presence of arsenical ~hy-paper in her
boudoir was for toilet purposes, have
turned public attention to the use of
this poison by ONE of fashion. It is
appalling to note how the demand for
arsenic has increased of late years. Be-
fore the enterprising American COM
plexion-improving qualities of the dead
ly drug, its use was confined to wealthy
women of fashion. Soon all women be-
gan to learn of the desirable pale pink
tint impaired to the skin when arsenic
was judiciously taken, and dru sgists
began to find in arsenic o profitable
so;rco &c G They do not deny
that arsenic carefully administered may
improve the complexion or even benefit
the system under certain conditions.
English law is strict regarding the sale
of such drugs and consequently in that
country fy-paper is largely used. Soak
ing the paper in water will extract the
arsenic and transfer the poison to the
liquid. 1t is then applied to the skin
or drunk in minute quantities. Like
the opium habit, arsenic eating grows
upon the victim, and its work is slow
but sure Arsenic is used for amounting
purposes, too, by large numbers of work
ing girls who toll in the mills and facto-
ries. They have not yet learned the
art of eating the drug, and employ it
in q crude fashion by dissolving the
substance in water and applying it in
lotion-like form to the face and hands.
Its baneful effects are not so quickly ap-
parent as are those of arsenic eating, but
sooner or later the foolish victims Of the
poisonous drug contract an appetite
for it, and their death is but a matter of
months. 1t is not easy to estimate the
number of deaths among women for
which the use of arsenic is responsible,
yet a goodly proportion of so-called
blood-poisoning cases can b., traced to
an ignorant use of arsenic.
ADTICE TO SEDENTIRY PEOPLE.
A wise physician has lately called at
tention to the injurious effects of too
much sitting. The American people
are VIGOROUSLY q nation of. ~sitters. The
lower limbs grow weak and spindling,
while the body gives down and doubles
up and grows at once thick and fabby.
The internal organs are cramped and
weakened. The stomach becomes dys-
peptic, the kidneys debilitated and dis
eased. The ~sedentary people could
stand or walk about at their work twice
as much as they do. The chest would
expand and the trunk grow erect, slim,
and graceful, particularly. ii attention
was paid to deep breathing. Admiral

in literary work, always stands up at

The importation of dutiable articles
of food and live animals last year
amounted to $119, 81, 967, and about
an equal amount of the same articles
were admitted free of duty. So it will
be seen that even the moderate protec-
ton afforded by the tariff is not suf-
fcient to give American farmers the
exclusive control Of their w markets.
But the principal benefit derived by
the farmers from the American policy
of protection is in the building up of
diversified industries, giving employ
ment to a vast army of toilers in facto-
ries and mines at liberal wages, there
by creating here the best market in the
world for the products of the soil.
And the American farmers are too well
informed on this subject to be hood
winked by the sophistries of the free
traders. In fact, they constitute the
bulk Of the party of protection that
stands immovably against the assaults
of foreign interests.-Chicago Inter

With the exception of one man,

is lending himself enthusiastically to
the project of abolishiDg the internal

nounce himself as being in favor of
this scheme is Burrows, whose friends
are working among the southern re-

support. The plan to do away with
the taxes on tobacco and fruit brandy
is being held out as a sop to the

WHEN the history of Mr.. Wanna
maker as Postmaster General comes
to be written up it will be after the
fashion of crazy quilt pattern. That
gentleman is putting in some odd
pieces of work for a high official.
Last week The News mentioned the
fact of his withholding the commits
sion of negro postmaster in North
Carolina because the merchants of the
town threatened to boycott the firm
of Wanamaker & Brown. Now an
other small job is changing the names
OF certain postofIices in Bingham
county. Take Rexburg for an in
stance. That town has local hab-
ltatlon and a name. 1t has its place
on the maps and in the gazeteers of
the country and it will always have
them, now to call it's postoffice Kahn
tuck will simply be trouble and con-
fusion to mail clerks and nothing
more. All freights and express mat
ter and even nine-tenths of the letters
will be directed to Rexburg. Suppose
the gentleman should feel inclined to
call Salt Lake City postoffice Wanna
maker or something else, how much
mail matter would be directed to the
new office. Comparatively none. A
town holding one name and its post
office another is confusion, and for
it to be SO is rediculously absurd to
say the least of it. We don't know
what pressure was brought to bear ON
the gentleman to make the change
and we don't care, but we do know
his principle wont work and no one
will find it out sooner than those hay-
ing charge of the mails.
