It is thus seen that while high pro tectionist politicians are prating about ''the insignifcanee of the foreign mar ket as compared with the home mar ket" our protected manufacturers arc making special efforts to get into the foreign market, even to the point of offering the.r wares for salo there at greatly reduced rates.
 This copy of tho Mail and Export Journal has had an interesting history since it's arrival in this country. After some of tho wood-cuts in it had been photographed for use in several of the leading papers in the country it was turned over to Senator Vest of Mis- souri, for use when the proper occasion should come.
 That occasion came. In his speech in the Senate debate on the Tariff bill Mir, Vest paid special attention to the attempt Of the framers of the bill to throw dust in tho eyes of the farmers and he scored . point by showing that American protected manufacturers were now selling every kind of agricultural implement in South America at prices from 20 to 70 per cent less than they demanded from American farmers.
 He made this bold statement without at first giving any proof for it, which was evidently trap set by tho sly Senator to catch some unwary protec tionist Vest had calculated with shrewd foresight; and when Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, got up and denied his statement the Missouri Sen atordrew forth the papers obtained from Beunos Ayres and from this country in which the same implements were ad vertised by the same firm at low price in tho foreign country and high price here. At this the Rhode Island Senator could only sink back into his scat crushed by tho willy Vest It is to be hoped that Aldrich. who is helping to engineer the high tariff bill through the Senate, was forced by that little occur renee to indulge in some fruitful rehec- tions on tho beauties of protection.

Tne Nestor of tho ruIplr.

The oldest living preacher in tho United States is Rev Dr. John Atkin- son, who lives near Benton Harbor, Mich. He was born in Pennington, N. J., in l797, and was licensed to preach in 1914 In reviewing his life the other day the old gentleman said: ''I knew Jesse Lee, tho first missionary appoint ed for tho New England States, and heard him preach. ] knew Joseph Pit more, one of the first two missionaries sont by Mir. Wesley from the Leeds tEngland) conference in 1747 to tho province of North America, and l at tended his funeral in Philadelphia. I was converted under the ministry of Joseph Totten, and joined the church under John Walker, of Trenton circuit want to tell you story about Joseph Totten. One day he rebuked two young ladies. daughters of prominent law yer, who made point of disturbing tho services by entering the church late. He said: Here you come prancing in with the devils toy-shop on your heads and hell's bells in your ears.'"

Cleveland's Reason.

A great many men, friends as well as enemies of Mir. Cleveland, have thought that he made a mistake in sending his great tariff reform message to Congress in 1887. It is admitted that he was practically sure of reelection if the message had not been written.
 Through it all Cleveland gave no ex- pression of the motives which influenced him in sending the message Q Congress Recently however, agentleman in New York City has given to the public Mir. Cleyeland's own explanation of his mo. lives. This is Mir Walter Stanton, a woolen manr facturer Mir. stanton says that Cleveland said to him some time after the message was written: 'I had but one idea in my mind and but one desire in my heart when l made That declaration of principles, which was to extend a helping hand to the agricultural and laboring classes.

It is not generally known that thers positively exists marked boundary line between Canada and the United States Most people suppose the limo to be imaginary" But the fact is tho boundary is distinctly marked from Lake Michigan to the Pacific by cairns. pillars of iron, earth mounds and tim- Der clearings. Thoro are nearly four hundred of these marks between the Lake of tho Woods and the foot of tho Rocky Mountains. Tho British have placed one post every two miles and tho United States have alternated between each oi the British posts Tho posts arc made of cast-iron. and on their faces arc the words; Convention of London, October 20, ISIS" Where the line crosses through lakes, small mount aims Of stones have been built rising eight or ten feet above the level of high-water mark In tho forests, the line is defined by falling trees making clearing for space of rod wide.-- N.

 Iengue ain Hole-~
 The facts about the special discounts made to foreigners by our manufactur- ars were first made public on An cx- tended scale in the pamphlet Of the New York Reform Club This pamphlet was extensively quoted in the debate on the Mckinley bill in the House of Representatives and Mfr suyser. protectionist representative from Ohio, denied that foreigners are favored by our manufacturers at the expense of the home market
 It was felt bT the protectionists that the facts set forth in that pamphlet were of so damaging a character 70 the cause Of high protection that they must be fatly denied This was done in Congress and in the protectionist organs. The American Economist tectionist Tariff League, pooh poohed the whole matter as mares nest and got denial from two or three sources. only one of which was named, and then boldly claimed on the strength of these denials that American manufactured goods are not sold to foreigners moro eheaply than at home. 4 party organ usual ly sees things crooked: but it is case of stone-blindness when the Econo- mist makes broad denial like this for Fn nd csgrR ports that denial with the word of only two or three men, mentioning only one firm bY name. That kind of talk will not begin to ''go down"
 The latest chapter in this matter is even more interesting than the first When Mir. Lindquist, the tariff expert of the Reform Club, was at work collect ing the facts for the pamphlet in ques- tion, he tried his best to get a copy of the foreign edition of the American Mail and Export Journal, as he had req son to believe that the foreign rates on American goods, as quoted in that jour- nal, were even lower than the export rates he had collected here. The rates as given in the pamphlet were in every case obtained from the manufacturers themselves
 It was. however, particularly desired by MT. Lindquist to make comparison between these rates and those printed sn the foreign edition of the American Mail and Export Journal, before pub fishing the pamphlet; but it was found impossible to obtain . copyin this coun- sry, although the paper is printed in New York City within few minutes walk from Mir. Lindquist's office. He did not, however, despair, but sent to South America for copy and obtained one at length from Spanish firm in that country. This copy was printed in Spanish and contained the Spanish Supplement- for April
 The prices given in this Spanish Supplement- for South American mer- chants have been compared with the prices of the same articles made by the same American manufacturers and ad- vertised by them in the American edi- tion of the Mail and Export Journal The particular firm for which this com parison is made is the Ann Arbor Agri- cultural Com pany of Michigan.
 Some of the figures resulting from this comparison are as follows:

The Atchison (Kan) Champion. that for thirty odd years has ably ad. yocated protection, has lately become an advocate of tariff reform. In giving its reasons for this change the Champion says; The capitalists and manufactnr- CTS of the East aided and abetted by protective tariff, have made money in fabulous sums while tho farmers of the West have been scarcely able to main tain themselves respectfully Not only Sd, but Eastern manufacturers and cap talists have, by reason of this protective tariff, been placed in a position where their financial power gives them prac- teal control of our Government in all it's departments, despite the votes and wishes of the people Of the Western States-who, by reason Of being large creditors, of necessity borrowers of and dependents upon the East, arc virtually politically distranchisea
