PROTECTION AID ABILITY 10 PTEfHdSF.

I'm the discussion Of trad" relations with
other countries there Is a constant Tendency
10 forget that populations differ widely III
their consumption OF products. This country
is a great customer to other nations, not 80
much because it has sixty four millions of
people, but because they are able ~ CONSUME"
and have accustomed themselves To consume
more of the products Of human labor than an,
other Jupu.ati N Of on" hundred and iiity
millions anywhere on earth.
In speaking Of the consumption Of any other
people, the fact that their ordinary demands
for each person are much smaller than those
of the United States is not always rrin,m
hcrcd. Thus men speak OF the inhabitants Of
the Argentine Republic, and Of the Italian
immigration which has been pouring IN at the
rate Of one hundred and fifty thousand year
", but the inhabitants Of Italy c1iStIn" about
10 bushels OF grain yearly per capita. of Great
| Britain abou, 20 bushels, and Of the United
States over 80 bushels per capita. The in
habiiantS of Italy consume about 20 pounds
Of meat. those of Great Britain about l20. and
those of the United states about 10 pounds
per capita. AT Il glance il is seen that the
buying capacity of four million PERSONS may
not be grcltcr than tn" purchases of a million
or even half a million Americans.
Canada, Senator Sherman tells us, has a
population of about five millions. But il
would be safe to guess that the two cities Of
] PhiladcI pllia and Chicago actually purchase
and consume each year more than the entire
population Of Canada. Whoever has observed
how the French Canadians live in Ncw-fh,g.
land manufacturing districts, remembering
that they represent the ways and habits of a
large proportion of the Inhabitants Of Canada,
will not mistakenly SUPPOSE that the con>unip-
| ton of the entire Dominion will aggregate a
| thirteenth part OF the consumption Of this
country. Or when statesmen tell us of the
millions who inhabit Mexico, it is necessary To
remember that over half the population arc
Indians, that the half breeds outnumlcr the
whites, and that the white population Of Mex
leo does not greatly ontnumher the population
Of Chicag3.
The most wonderful proof of the bencfionce
of the American protective policy is found in
the fact that it has enabled the people of this
| Nation far to surpass all others IN their con-

The principal interest in the Maine election
which takes place to-day, will revolve about
the I>t Congressional District, where, as is
well-known, the Democracy have been putting
forth desperate efforts to defeat Mr.. Reed or
at least to impair his prestige by heavily re-
ducinc his majority. That they will succeed
i, not to he believed by any one who makes "A
candid survey of the situation at this distance
Speaker Reed has every reason to look with en-
tire confidence for a vindication at the hands
of the Republicans whom he has represented in
Congress so admirably for seven successive
terms. His course in Washington. especially
while holding the gavel, has won such hearty adj
mirarion from his party generally that his State
and his immediate constituents cannot fail to
set the seal of approval upon it in an emphatic
manner. As for the state at large and the
other Congressional contests. 1t Is only a qucS-
ton of the size of the Republican majoritleS.

There will lr widespread popular sympathy
with the movement begun by the women of Aslc-
Vile, y. c., to secure better servants. The ser
v~ant-girl problem is one of the vcxing questions
that modern civilization has thus far been unable
to grapple with successfully. There is surely
something to he gained by cooperation among the
employers of servants, and the members Of this
class in Ashevillc have clearly taken one step in
the right direction. The trouble with servants
there, as in New-lork and elsewhere. is general
incompetcncy and untruStworthiness. The " union
of housekecpcrs' formed in Asheville proposes to
secure good servants and to fix schedules Of ca
pacity and rates Of wages. The long-suffering
housekeepcrs Of the rest Of the country will
await with Impotence the news OF the progress Of
the experiment just hcgnn in North Carolina.

The martial failure OF the wheat crop IN
Dakota will serve a useful purpose in directing
,necial attention to the need of thorough and
.vstematic irrigation. Readers Of THE TRIB-
,NE will remember the description given IN
&he series of letters printed last year from the
new State of the wonderful subterrancan supply
~ water with which the region in question Is
favored. How to make this available is now
the messing problem in North Dakota. 1t Is
safA TO predict that these enterprlSing western
ers will before long find some means OF utilizing
che inexhaustible underground cistcrns.
An arrest has been made OF a man supposed

gently prosecuted. 1t is much to be hoped that
one of the night men has been caught ana that
the detectives are on the track of the others.
The community cannot afford to let s'lch mis-
ureants escape. No crime can be more diabollc
than the wrecking of a train, and every pos
tsfble device should be exhausted in comprising

villains.

atoms sent for the purpose Of securing thfs
tract we're In motion, and teams With loads
OF lumber started on dead run across the
river, but it was plainly evident that tho
local townsite boomers had secured an i'm
portant advantage BY reason Of their closer
proximity to the lands.
It was grand sight. viewed from the
high bluffs, whore several thousand people
had gathered to sec a. many more take
part in this exciting event. Indian police
numbering nearly 100 had been placed -
guard to prevent any premature invasion,
but they stood dazed and helpless as they
viewed tho great and irresistible rush for the
reservation. The most novel sight was tie
moving of . large building, under which
had been placed heavy timbers and wheels.
This. like the other wagons, was pulled
across the river by gallopins horses.
1t took but few minutes for several
sections on the valuable bottom to be
literally covered with claimants, and it will
take scors of lawyers to solve the prob
lem % to who are the rightful owners.
Ths lceal town sits. .boonsrs susdanbssdiy
secured an advantage over the other or
Ranized boomers by few minutes, but
among the boomers are q number who in.
tend to secure homestead filings if possi-
bic. which will complicate the matter to
such an extent as to result in protracted
legal struggle. While this rush is going
on for the bottom lands many other in
tending settlers have rushed promptly into
tho uplands and begun atSonce the erection
Of houses, and these arc prepared to de-
fend their rights a. against any invasion
Of their lands. United States Marshal
Fry and Indian Agent Anderson, assisted
by deputies and Indian police, were soon
at work vigorously attempting to eject the
invaders. The forces at their disposal
were entirely inadequate to the require
ments Of the occasion, and while many
were notified and escorted across the river,
there WAS not large enough force to keep
them there and they quickly returned to
their claims.
There were number OF smash ups in
the rush, but as yet no fatalities have been
reported. Chamberlain was in an uproar
at night, bells ringing, whistles blowing
and cannon booming. The settlers who
have lumber on tho ground are erecting
houses by the light OF lanterns. The
morning sun will shine on scores of new
houses, many Of them grouped in the new
town on the west side OF the river.
The local townsiters, who got advantage
OF the other boomers for the possession Of
the town site, have arranged for represen-
tation in nearly fifty different lines of busi-
ness. Inside Of forty-eiRht hours the
buildings will be erected and everything in
running order with . population of be-
tween 2,OOO and 5000. II is fortunate
the proclamation came al this time as q few
weeks later the crossing Of the river would
be dangerous.
