An eminent authority writing in The
Quarterly Journal of Economics upon the
Rise of American cities says in the
summary Of that paper:
list. The situation Of cities depends
chiefly on natural causes, but once
planted, the largest places have power to
profit by artificial stimuli. suck as immi-
grafton and railroads"
20 The great cities of the future
must grow out Of present cities, large or
small.
He makes a possible exception to
chances for a new place of note in or
about Puget's Sound.
Whatever may be thought Of this
theory Ito which question may be raised
as to points upon our COAST there can be
no doubt Of its accuracy when the CEN
tres of population in the iron belt of the
South are in question. Undoubtedly
the chief points are already occupied
Some of the larger .ones may be retarded
in their progress by various influences,
whilst the growth of some of the
smaller ones may be accelerated By the
development Of proximate resources and
the concentration Of capital under the
command Of skillful enterprise. but il
will be extra hazardous to speculate upon
new points.
To illustrate our ideas upon the matter,
consider the iron and coal bearing region
from Roanoke, Virginia, to Birmingham,
Alabama, a section capable OF sustaining
a dense population; it being full Of in
dustrial resources Of the best quality. II
is fairly dotted with towns and villages.
Every natural spot for trading or man
ufacturing place seems to be taken, and
all are In various stages Of prosperity.
Within this area are some places verv
marvels OF growth which come
within the scope Of the law named
in the summary OF the paper
above quoted from. aaTake any Of these
leading places, Chattanooga for instance,
place now in the very front OF metro
politan progress In the country, and de-
servedly attracting the attention OF capi-
talists and enterprising men. See how It
comes within the law Of continued prog
ress already propounded. The natural
advantages Of its location are beyond
comparison; II is firmly planted and
shows an unprecedented growth, a rise in
a couple Of decades from a few hundred
10 upward OF $4,000 people
IL has artificial stimuli IN shape
Of nine trunk and local and SUBURBAN rail-
ways, and Of established manufactures
and settled commercial interest. Il is a
magnet for emigration and enterprise
Its future as one Of the principal centres
Of city population is assured. All about
Il are thriving places which must grow
rapidly, aiding and receiving aid recipre-
cally from IL as a common centre.
What is true here Is SO elsewhere
throughout the country, and illustrates
the soundness Of the well-written article
in the journal Of Economies.

AMONG other foolish fads fathered bv
the tariff aud Grand Army crazed organ
of high taxes and pensions, the New York
Press, is the flags on.the schools fad. It
says:
Object lessons that appeal to the
senses are so notably valuable in the
teaching Of children that we do not see
how any legislator can object to this sort
of object lesson in patriotism, and we
therefore expect soon to hear that the
bill has passed unanimously.
A flag on a school house is no more
capable Of teaching lesson in patriot
ism than the eagle on the buzzard dollar
will teach freedom. It has been proven
that the Observation-Disclosures
was instituted by a Boston firm. which
owned bunting factory. OF course
there is no objection to the flag on the
schools, but there is serious objection
to the hypocritical pretense of the super
loyalist who trades on genuine love o.
ones country.

MR.. McKENNA, Republican, of Cali
fornia, dissents from the sugar schedule
of the Mckinley bill.
Protection, as understood politically, Is
the clear right of all industries or of
none. The means of it is a tariff, not
largesses from the Treasury. The dis.
tinction Is not one OF words. 1t is a
distinction firm and clear in it's substance
and effect. tariff may be tar; q
bounty Is certainly one, fixed and IN
avoidable, and increases with the produc-
tion 1t encourages.
It will be difficult for the Republicans
to explain and more difficult to reconcile
the bounty system in connection with the
Chicago platform or with the accepted
fallacies of protectionism Mr.. Mchenna
has stated the case clearly. He presents
only one phase of the difficulty, however,
the minority presents another, namely
II is framed upon the assumption that
as our industries grow older they grow
weaker and more dependent upon the
bounty of the government. IL devolves
upon those advocates now to explain II
they can, why It is that after a low tariff
policy has been abandoned for more than
a quarter of a century and high tariff
policy substituted in It's place, the manu-
featuring and mechanical industries of
the country are less able to maintain
themselves than when the change was
made.
After that shall have been done they
will be required 10 show what benefit the
many consumers derive from this special
taxation in the exclusive interest Of the
few. The real explanation Of the Nc.
Kinlsy bill is that It is buncombe. The
House knows the Senate viii not pass it.

Mr.. Cleveland stigmatizes Mr.. Dana,
the editor of the New York Sun, as "a
senile old liar.
That is a strong epithet, but 1t seems
that the case demands strong language.
II Mr.. Dana is lying there is no i'm
propriety in calling him liar The per
sistent attacks OF Mr.. Dana on Mr..
Cleveland are dictated by the malice Of
dotard, or for the black kmail Of the
scoun drel.
Mr.. Cleveland may be correct in as
cribing them to senility, but the evil
dence seems to point to malice or to
blackmRil.
Above all things the Sun represents
the personality Of Mr.. Dana. When
Grant would not appoint Dana to a
lucrative office in New York City, the
New York Sunturned against the Repub
lican party and against Grant. The editor
pursued Hayes bitterly, Persistently and
personally during his four years terra Of
Office and for several years afterward as
''The Fraud" or "The Fraudulent Prssi-
dent. For years the name of President
Hayes never appeared in the Sun, but it
was frequently necessary to use
those miserable aliases II there
was no occasion to mention
the ex.President Hayes an occasion was
made. The course Of the Sun was mean
and inexplicable toward Mr.. Cleveland in
1884 Without any apparent reason, or
without hope Of success, the Sun advo-
Gated Ben Butler for President. The
Republican committee paid the expenses
Of the Butler campaign, SO the obvious
explanation OF the Suns course is that
its services were paid for. too. a
But these few instances Of the Suns
erratic course among many thousands
are sufficient to show that something
more or something less than old age fur
nishes the motive to the Sun. The most
reasonable explanations is that this motive
power is malice or blackmail.
Like Grant, Cleveland has ignored the
tclaims" Of Dana and incurred his malice
or Quay has promised him so much per
column from the campaign funds.
There is nothing in the history or char
acter Of the Suns course to make either
Of these motives seem improbable. The
fact that the Sun continues its malicious
attacks on Mr.. Cleveland, when he is
simply private citizen, is enough to
prove that the attacks are dictated by
cowardly or base motives. equally un-
worthy Of great paper and brilliant
editor.
The character Of these attacks make
the spots on the Sun worse. They come
within the category Of low, personal
abuse, not only Of a distinguished, hon
orable and patriotic private citizen, but
OF the man who would be unanimously
nominated to-day for the highest Office
in the gift Of the people, which he has
already filed so worthily, by. the largest
and the greatest political party in the
world.
Even more than that, Mrs. Cleveland
has been included in the attacks. That,
Of course, is the grand climax Of per-
sonal unmitigated and dastardly abuse.
There is no explanation Of this, except
that it is distated by 6endish malice or
profitable blackmail.

The necessity of immediate action on
this bill must be apparent to the Repub.
lican leaders. They shoHld appreciate the
fact that II the tariff question can be set
tied this session 1t must remain settled
for at least ten years. The House OF
Representatives may change. the admin
istration may change, but it is not likely
that thsDemocrats will have a majority in
this bin and the Republican Senate will
stand, as it has done the last six years, a
bulwark against the encroachment OF
the agents Of foreign industries in
America In ten years the benefits
arising from this measure will be so
great that no party will have the cour-
age to advocate free trade.

against the government. A large amount

the importer makes an immense sum Of
