If the years preceding 1SS1-S9 had
been Free trade period Senator Vance
might have been justified in using the
decline in foreign trade, which he as
serts took place after 1881, as evidence
that Protection was injuring that trade
But the wonderful growth from 1865
to 1881 was also under Protection, and
the very period singled out by him was
one in which the stream of foreign COM
merce, when compared to that of the
most prosperous years Of the Free trade
period, seems like a Mississippi COM
pared to a Schuylkill. Ordinary COM
mon sense should have suggested to the
senator that if there really was decline
it must have been due to some cause
other than Protection. And then the
unfairness of wrestling eight out of the
thirty years of the life of our present
policy in order to prove his theory, es-
pecially when dealing with so variable
a quantity as foreign commerce. Take,
for instance, eight years of Great Brit
aims commerce, as given in the Estates

The very marked decline in Great
Britain's imports and exports here set
forth would prove that Free-trade is de-

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
A Travelling Crane with Lifting Capacity
of One Hundred and Ten Tons


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The largest
travelling crane in the world, which a
corps of machinists and mechanical
engineers have been for several weeks
setting up in the gunshop at the navy
yards here, is now in practical operation.
While differing in many material points
from smaller travelling cranes which
have been in use in the ordnance shop
it is constructed on the same general
principle. 1t has a lifting capacity of
10 tons, and tests made few days ago
in the presence of the secretaries of war
and navy and other government officials
was very satisfactory. The'machine has
attracted the attention of mechanical
engineers from all over the country,
many of whom have taken long trips to
see it in operation. With the iron frame
work on which it is supported, the
machine has cost the government $780,
600.

before the trying experience of the last
days of the session. In addition to the
debate in the house and the serious diff
ferences to be adjusted in conference on
the tariff question, there is the contest
over the bill to relieve the federal courts
which is before the senate, and over the
bankruptcy bill, which seems likely to
pass, and over the lard bill, for which
the senate will doubtless substitute the
pure food bill for some other measure.

IT is in youth that the spirit of truth
fulness may be best cultivated. Few
realize how strong are the impressions
made upon the heart. of childhood by
the examples which are given to it. Let
no one imagine that to teach a child not
to tell lie is sufficient to make him
really truthful. He must be imbued with
the love of positive truth; and that can
be infused only by those who are them
selves inspired by it.

LIFE is periodic-it is made up of cy-
cles, of grand currents that sweep all
around and then come back again. If
angels go out, it is only that archangels
may come in. There are transit, back
ward eddies in the stream, but the gen.
eral current is onward, if only we our
selves will keep true, and prove stead
fast. All who live know life is con-
flict; it may also be a victory.
