| nlZe this fact clearly as do the proprietOrs
| who pay the advanced wages, and more clearly
than do certain political economists who think
| the world of commerce and manufactures can
| be unerringly directed 10y a theory evolved in a
| closet without sufficient data and applied to an
| ineXaCt science.
| Mr.. Gladstone. however, commits himself to
| the principle that '.all protection is morally
| bad If this has been his belief ever since he
| became an advocate of free trade, his con-
| science must have received many severe
wounds. as session after session, while Chan
! cellor of the EXchequer, he carried through
Parliament a bounty-may | not say direct
protection of e1S0,O00 sterling to a line of
steamers running between England and the
| | thlted Ntate>-a protection that began six
years before free trade was proclaimed in Eng
liSh manufactures and continued nearly twen-
| ty Years after. In the whole period of % years
an aggregate of many millions of dollars was
paid out 10 protect the English line against all
competition. 1t may be urged that this sum
was pad for carrying the Anglo American
mails, but that argument will not avail free
trader, because steamer, of other natonaties
stood ready to carry the mails at far cheaper
rate Nay, few years ago. possibly when Mr..
Gladstone was Premier Of England, public bids
Were asked to carry the Anglo-lndan mails.
A French line offered a lower bid than any
English line. but the English Government dis
regarded the French bid and gave the contract
to the Penin>ular and Oriental owned by
well known English company. Still later. the
German Lloyd company contracted to carry
the Anglo American mail cheaper than any
English line offered, and the German company
actual began to perform the duty But Eng
liShmen did not want that kind of tree trade
and they broke the contract with the German
line. and again gave protection to the English
ships.
Does not this Justify the opinion that the
English policy of free trade is urged where
England can hold the field against rivals, and
that when competition leaves her behind she
repudiates free trade and substitutes the most
pronounced form of protection? Does Mr..
Gad>tone'S estimate of the immortality of pro-
lection apply only to protection on land,
or is supremacy on the sea SO important to
British interests that it is better to throw
morals to the wind and resort to whatever
degree of protection may he necessary to secure
the lead to English ships?
The doctrine of improving harbors in the
United States by the National Government was
for many years severely contested the strict
construction party maintaining that it must be
confined to harb0r> on the seacoaSt at points
where foreign commerce reaches the country.
During one of the many discussions over this
narrow construction an Ohio member of Con-
@re>> declared that he ''coud not think much
Of Constitution that would not stand being
dipped in fresh water a. we'll as SALT | fear
that Mr.. Glal>tone'> code Of morals on this
question of protection will not secure much re-
>pect IN other countries 50 long as 1t spoils in

A New Non-Partlsan Temperance Or.
gauIZation.

The Provisional Committee of the Non-Pur-
tisan Woman> Christian Union has issued an
adIre>, from Cleveland. calling for meeting
in that city Jan. y. to effect a new organiza-
ton. The principles Of the new movement
are thus defined;
Fir>t-We believe the political policy of the
National Woman'> Christian Temperance Mon
to be wrong in principle, contrary to the letter
ana spirit Of the original constitution, illogical
III its rea>oningS inconsistent in its conclusions
and exceedingly detrimental to the cause of
temperance.
se.ona-We believe that the work of Chris
tian temperance stands above and beyond the
lines Of party or sect, and we cannot follow
the lead OF the National nion in pledging our
influence to any party. We must be free to
cHll On the best mru ot ali parties for the aid
we need and must have help to make our
work Il >uccc>S.
In their call the Provisional Committee, com
posed Of Mrs Ellen !. Phinney, of Cleveland,
Ohio, Mrs. Ellen ". Watson, Of Pittsburg,
Pa, Mr~. Florence G. Porter of OItown,
Maine, and other prominent members of the
oldorder, announce that for five years or since
the Woman'> Christian Temperance Union al
liel Itself with the Third Party, a serious diff
ference of sentiment has existed between the
leaders Of the Union on the proper attitude to
be maintained towards political parties. At
the last national convention the chasm between
those who believed in supporting the Third
Party and those who believed in non partisan
ship wae found 70 bc wider Than ever, and the
Third Party >ympathizer>, VINO We're in the
majority, showed no wish to lessen it. Iiar-
mony was impossible, 50 the minority decided
TO >ecede md form new union in which they
could carry on the work 10 which they are de-
voted. The aim of the founders of the new
union is announced to be TO form a society so
free from a!i party entangIement- that mo
political vutures will ever hover over its con
ventionS. hoping TO bear away any influence
that will help them to any places Of powers"
and On 50 broad basis that "prayers may be
made for us in all churches without fear of
otlcn>e."

Kate Van Twinkle, who wielis sharp pen, gives
Bangor the following thrust throught the columns
of a Maine paper;
| hear that the Bangor people pokng fun at
POrtand's abortive efforts to build an opera house.
Now were Bangor, I'd never open my lips about
any city village however humble, which was
making effort toward erecting music hall.
Why? / simply point my finger at that horrible
old trap in which musical cultivated, whist-eXce-
ling Bangor had the calmness to hold its last mu
steal conventionl The musicians and the instru-
ments, even, would have better chosen hogshead.
If ! were Bangor and boasted of such singer as
Dora Wiley, whose voice is so UOnderfutiy beaut-
ful-to ears that love voice for that rare sympa-
thetc quality-do you think I'd ask her to lift her
voice IN Norumbega Hall? | think that was the
name of the miserable singing box where the con
vention held and where | heard Dora Wiley
sing, later, at her own concert. At all events,
there's not much, it's said, in name; not half
much there is in the Queen City laughing at Port
land about its opera house scheme while it allows
Il woman with a voice out of a thousand to waste
her sweetness in such desert ar People who
inhabit domiciles OF glass, should be careful how
they hurl the juvenile boulder.
BRUSSELS is an economical soan.

Why Do You Keep Hens7

TO TIE EDITOR or THE JOURNAL: Not
long ago was asked the question: why do
you keep hens" And if YOU will allow me a
small space in the good Old journal, | will try
to convince some of the many who think there
is no money made by keeping hens, why still
keep few nice fowls. Previous TO last years
poultry account, ending Dec. 3lst, 1889, have
never credited the hens with hen manure.
This year, a> well Il, 1889. SHALL for this rea-
son, As many know, | raised more than 100
bushels of very nice turnps. and my neigh
bors nearly all failed to raise as many. besides
being of a poorish quality, what they did raise.
Now there is question which may to some
seem queer. For | claim that tue dressing
used, which contained large percentage of
hen manure, had a tendency to not only increase
the sze of my turnip>, but, best of ALL the
quality has been such that | have sold nearly
my entire crop, at from - cents to so cents per
bu>hel. Now as | shall sell so worth of tur-
nips by their being marketable. while had
they been Of poor quality, | should have
realized hut about 50, or what they are worth
to feed to stock, is one reason run the risk of
cheating myself, by crediting the hens with
Sl2.30 for hen manure. | can, If choose to
DO SO. name several parties who invested quite
heavily in fertilizers, and it is my honest be-
lief they cannot Show as much clear cash
profit from their investments, as can from
few loads of well cared for hen manure
As only asked for a small space | will draw
this letter to close, by telling you what my
hens have paid the past year. | averaged So
laying hens, while at times | had POO or more
hens and chicks. Following is the footing of
my poultry account for 1899, and it is this ac-
count which shows why keep hens

Free Trader Cleveland.

The following paragraph is going the rounds of
the Democratic press:
When Mr.. Cleveland was in Boston the other
day little boy was brought to him who said, "Pm
little freetrader sir whereupon Mr.. Cleveland
said, 81 hope you will live to be very old one"
Mr.. Cleveland might have saved his party friends
good deal of tall lying in the last campaign if he
had earlier expressed a wish for long lives to
free traders. The burden of proof rested heavily
upon Democratic editors last year to show that
MIR. Cleveland was not freetrader. (Biddeford

HORSES AND SHEEP

are fully as high in Dakota as in Maine, while
beef on the foot will not bring half 50 much as
in Maine. Retail prices are about the same
however. From Union to Heating is noun
famous country covered with sage brush, bunch
grass and stony in places. There is probably
more risk in doing business in any part of the
west than in the east, but profits are usually
larger. some eastern people would feel little
uneasy to have their entire property invested
in stock and running at large in the mountains.
There are risks of every kind but usually large
profits. Sheep have to be hcrded to protect
them from wild animals, but man will herd
two Or three thousand for 80 per month, and
the wool ! worth nearly as much a. in Maine,
and lambs about half a> much. Those en-
gagged in stock raising are not 50 wild as is
usually supposed. They are people from every
