Precisely so. Protection does It All
of the above mentioned lines of goods
are manufactured in Britain, where
free trade prevails. The United States
tariff imposes much higher duty upon
them than the Canadian tariff, and still
our Yankee friends can undersell their

Miller Pillsbury on the Future of Wheat.
Mr. Pilsbury. of Minneapolis, whose
celebrity is recognized throughout the
world for the quality and quantity Of
his products Of flour. said in a recent in
terview as follows:
The world has been eating up It's surplus
wheat for some years, and it has now ap-
preached close to its exhaustion of that
great surplus. In this country our consump-
ton Is Increasing 500, 900 bushels annusIIy,
and the demand from abroad is increasing,
as the advance In civilization demands bet
ter food. This demand is obviously against
diminishing supply, as the acreage OF
wheat reached its maximum development
i've years ago. These facts make IL possible
and probable that prices will be forced mp,
This wi relieve to some extent the present
Industrial depression In this country.
Mr.. Pillsbury's estimate of the in
creasing demand in this country for
-four is doubtlessly correct and so are
his views as to advancing civilization
requiring higher standards of food, but
we think he does not sufficiently regard
the rapidly increasing supplies from
India, Russia and the Argentine Re
public, which If our farmers were not
protected. would soon flood our sea-
coasts with wheat grown by labor paid

What Protection Has Done For the Farm.
ers and the Country.

What Protection Has Done For the Farm
ers and the Country.
The condition Of the farmers Of the
United States to-day, Notwithstanding
the depressed condition of agriculture,
is immeasurably better than before the
war. think there is no doubt that in
proportion to their numbers there are
fewer mortgages upon their farms
Their houses are homes of luxury con-
pared with the farmhouse of that Pc
riod. The log cabins and the cramped
and inconvenient farm-houses the
kitchen fre-places, the bare floors, the
rough walls, the homemade furniture,
the cupboard of rough shelves. which
largely prevailed within my own recol-
lection, have been largely supplanted
by modern cottages, containing the con-
veniences of life, and the farmers tables
are loaded with food that was then con-
sidered luxuries The appliances for
cultivation, the tools for pillow.
ing, sowing, reaping. and thrash
ing and the facilities for mar
keting have all been improved.
The farmer, as rule. works fewer
hours, and his children do not go to the
field at so tender an age. The hardest
portions Of his work. once done by hand,
are done by machinery. His children
are better clothed and better educated.
In short, in every way the farmer of to-
day, even IL his farm is mortgaged, lives
better than the man who held the mort
gage did in the ante bellum days.
What does our experience as q nation
during the century of our existence
show as to the effect of q protective
policy upon the farmer and upon the
other productive interests of the coun-
tryP As I read our history in connec-
ton with the tariff it shows that abso-
lutely all the prosperity Of the farmers
of this country. as we'll as all the pros
perity we have enjoyed as nation, has
been enjoyed when the protective policy
has prevailed, and that the abandon
ment of that policy in whole or in part
has always caused depression, scarcity
of employment low wages and hard
times, and that at such times the farmer
has always suffered most = Senator
Dolph.

At last &c was done. The ivory was
far too cumbersome for us to carry, so
we buried 1t, having first got rid Of cur

exact words: '.In truth the question of
trade between our country and South
America hangs, first of all and above
all, on an adequate steamship service.
= An American dealer fills an
order for merchant of Montevideo or
Buenos Ayres. or Valparaiso. or Lima

pool, Hamburger, or to some other
European port and thence to be re-
shipped by some foreign line to his Gus

the struggle for supremacy in trade be-
tween our merchants and the European
is so unequal as to be absurd" All that
rich trade is down there waiting only
for American steamships to develop it
It would be difficult to find a nook or a
corner in the Union which would not
share in the benefits of an extension of
commerce. An agent of a line of steam
ers for South America appeared before
a Congressional committee, and was
ironically asked what interest Georgia
or Ohio had in the maintenance of a

company with Senator Frye, and re-
turned in short time with the infor-
nation that Georgia had contributed
81, 600 worth OF goods to the cargo.
But how about Ohio?" asked the mem
Der from that State. The agent in
quired what part of the State he was
from, and fosnd it to be Akron He

proved, however, the attorney general is
expected to render his decision giving his
construction of the law, and it is possible
that under this decision smaller portion
OF the public domain will be Withdrawn
from for settlement than is contemplated
by the construction now placed on the act.
The surveys in the southern portion Of
the region are not yet completed, but it is
expected that a very large proportion of
the public domain will be brous sht under
the operation OF the law. But even in
the event that the widest Interpretation is
given to the law, the land will not be
withdrawn from settlement for all time,
as the law further provides that the presi-
dent may open any portion Of the lands
thus reserved to settlement under the
homestead laws.

PARIS, May 2l.-The Matin publishes
an interview had with the French Jour

to his resignation as first class funeral,
but added that he was quite alive still.
He declared among other things that
Germany would never attack France or
provoke France to attack her. Germany
well understands that Russia would in
tervene to protect France if attacked, Just
as Germany would aid Austria if Russia
attacked her.
