-Four solld and incOntestable reasons
for being in favor Of American protection
are given by Mr.. Joseph Nlmmo, Jr., in
the American Economist OF last week.
Mr. Nimmo was formerly and for many
years chief OF the bureau OF statistics
of the treasury department, and under
stands better than most publicists the
subject Of prices under existing tariii
laws OF the last fifty years, and
the benefit OF the present rates
upon American industry. He says
IL am a protectionist %. Because pro
lection f. in conformity with the die
tates OF common sense and patriotism
(2}. Because protection is founded upon
the hard teachings of experience, and
not upon any fancied eternal fitness OF
things. 80, Because protection defends
home markets entirely eur own and in
the aggregate at least five times az large
as the total foreign market, In which we
are forced to compete sharply with all
other nations. %, Because the Mckin'
ley act is already justified by results
prices Of manufactured goods no higher,
prices OF agricultural products advanced
and fairly remuue rative as the result Of
the stimulus given to manufactures,
labor well employed, and wages never
before higher, ALI the lies in regard to
rise in prices consequent upon the
Mckinley bill have fallen to the ground,
and the protective policy is today ready
for national campaign"

The State Sanitary Convention to take
place in Reception Hall, City Building,
Portland on Tuesday next, under the
auspices OF the State Board OF Health,
will be an occasion OF much professional
and public interest, its object being
primarily to afford members of local
boards and health officers an oppOr-
tunity for free discussion Of such SAN
itary matters As require their daily
attention in their work OF caring
for the public health 1t is believed
that the general work OF the State Board
can be thus supplemented to advantage
by personal meeting OF its members
facility will be given for more explicit
instr uction in the duties and powers of
health boards under our present laws
than can perhaps be obtained by CORE
spondence, or from printed documents
and reports. To this end the board has ar
ranged programme which provides for
brief papers or remarks upon variety
Of sanitary topics in which every one en-
gagged in this line Of work must be
specially interested. These topics will
be fully discussed and ample opportu
nifty given for such questions or expla'
nations as any one may desire. The
convention is in the interest of the pub
lie health in the broadcast sense, and can
not but result in great good. Moreover
it is hoped that it may be the beginning
OF annual conventions of similar nature
to be held at different leading points in
Maine.

the attention of the German people ard
Government the Importance and value
Of American Indian corn as Il
cheap and nutritious substitute for other
cereal foods. Colonel Murphy writes
most encoursgingly reporting his cordial

readiness Of that gentleman to forward
his mission; and further states that he
has been able to produce bread composed
In part Of rye and part of corn, which
has been highly commended by all those
to whom samples have been submitted
"a most satisfactory substitute for the
ordinary rye bread in general use among
certain classes in Germany, and this at Il
cost, based on the present price of rye
nour and corn meal in Germany, less
than the cost Of bread made exclusively
OF rye flour and now retailed In that
city. Should special concessions in the
matter Of tariff duties be secured from
the German Government on Indian corn.
the outlook for large increase in Amer
lean exports Of that product TO Germany
would. In the opinion Of Colonel
Murphy, be most promising.

EARLY FRUITS.
Rivalry Among Shipping Firms-What
Cherries Brought Yesterday.

Rivalry Among Shipping Firms-What
Cherries Brought Yesterday.
There is considerable rivalry between
the competing fruit-shipping houses in
this city. Each naturally desires to be
ahead of its rivals in the matter not only
of early shipments but of the quantities
forwarded to Eastern markets.
Manager Perry, of the Earl Fruit Com
pany, claimed last night, in an interview
with a RECoRD-UNIoN reporter, that his
company had a sale in Chicago yesterday
of cherries shipped on Tuesday night
three days and half from this city
which, he said, was the fastest time on
record.
1--WE claim," said Mr. Perry, ''to have
sent out the first carload of cherries for
this season, and the earliest carload of
green fruit ever shipped from California.
1t left Sacramento Tuesday night at IL
o'clock. via the Southern Pacific, Union
Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railroads, and was sold in Chicago
to-day by the California Auction Com
pany. Nacaville cherries, which We're
tritie green, sold at from 81 10 to 81 80 per
box, and Sacramento River cherries at
from 81 40 to So per box. There were a
few crates of strawberries put into this
car by the Ingleside Ranch, to test the
carrying qualities of California strawber
ries in refrigerator cars. These arrived
in frst-class order, but did not bring
fancy prices, owing to the fact that the
market is well supplied with Tennessee
berries.
I'VE consider this good sale Of cher
ries, especially when the entire lot was
sold this afternoon, for Saturday is the
poorest day of the week for fruit sales"

THE NATURALIZATION LAWS.

The London Observer declares that the
United States will be compelled to
change, by radical reform, its naturaliza-
ton laws; that the nations of the world
will oblige US to that course We agree
with the Observer that radical reforma-
ton of our naturalization laws is neces-
sary; that it must be effected. But the
reasons that move US to that Judgment
are wholly dissimilar to those that prompt
the English journal. 1t believes that the
subjects of European powers are enabled
too easily to cast off allegiance and at
tach themselves to the United States, and
that there is often such looseness in the
methods that civilized Governments
should not regard them as binding. As
for that we apprehend that, free and loose
though they may be, the United States
will defend them and protect those shell
tered under the law against any European
attempt to ignore it. But the laws need
reformation, because ease of naturaliza-
tion, 1ooseness of method and failure to

The college physician at Yale has been
collecting and studying the statistics of
the tobacco habit among the seniors" of
the young men of that institution. He
finds that non-users have an average in
crease of 66 per cent. of lung capacity, 10
per cent. of chest imitation, 20 per cent
of hight and 25 per cent. of weight He
finds the mental statistics to be equally
significant and clearly established by the
records of appointments. But the meas
urement statistics are those that address
themselves most forcibly to general in
telligence. If these measurements are
found to hold to a fair average taken
among men in various conditions in life
and environments, they will constitute
an argument that cannot be answered.
We are not prepared, however, to found
a theory upon the measurements of a
single group, as that at Yale. Statistics
to be of value in such matter must be so
comprehensive as to exclude the idea Of
any other condition than the one studied
affecting the results ascertained. 1t is
entirely probable, however, that DR..
Seaver's figures will hold out if general
and distributed measurements are made
among habitual users of tobacco, in con-
trast with non-users, the conditions in
other respects being similar.

Is IT A AIISTAKEs

Is it a mistake about aluminium after
all2 We have been told that it is the
coming metal, because it oxidizes so
slowly is SO tough, so very light, so
easily worked and so plentiful, the only
difficulty being that a cheap process of
extracting it from clay has not yet been
discovered.
Hundreds Of thousands of dollars have
been invested in processes and works,
and many large establishments heavily
capitalized are now engaged in producing
it, the cost having fallen to about 81 a
pound. A great ''craze" for aluminium
has set in, and the greatest expectations
have been raised concerning its useful
ness and universal applicability in the
mechanic arts.
But here comes chemist of extensive
practice, and in the New York Tribune
declares that the whole country is being
deceived, and that there is no such virtue
in the metal as is claimed for it.: 1t is not
hard; the purer it is the softer. 1t is but
tritie harder than cheap zinc or spelter.
1t cannot, when pure, be soldered re-
iably. In working it is one of the
''nastiest' metals imaginable. Ittarnishes
readily, especially in salt air, but it is true
that aluminium rust is white, while that
of iron is red and brown. A ship built
of aluminium would, in salt water, be
soon eaten full of holes, and, therefore,
for exposed parts of ships is not worth
six cents pound. For roofing it is in
ferior to galvanized iron. For kitchen
vessels it is useful only when salt is not
used, and hence is not worth five cents a
Nound.
Weight for weight it is not as strong as
IN. As iron for wearing parts of ma
hnery is worth fourteen cents, a pound
If aluminium is worth much less. It will
serve for spoons and forks, and for that
purpose may do as well as tin at twenty
two cents a pound. But for such use it is
dirty, as it soils the hands like lead, and
iaxeFy soft. Pure aluminium is superior

THE SUNDAY UNIOl

Two years ago to-day the need for ad-
ditional space for disposal of news
and other matter necessitated the REC
ORD UNION entering upon the publica-
ton of an extra edition, known as the
SUNDAY UNION. AT that time the REC
oRD-UNIoN was published as a four-page
paper only. In that space it was impos-
sible to find room for all news depart
ments and the general reading matter,
with the regularity essential to a first
class journal.
This year the RECORD UNION has aban-
doned the old style of press and print
ing, and has put in splendid perfecting
press, one of the finest in the United
States, with complete stereotyping ap-
paratus and an entirely new and inn
proved composing room plant, and has
augmented its force of employees and en-
larged to a six-page paper daily from a
four-page form. 1t has thus added ten
columns daily to its space capacity, Civ
ing room for the placing daily of general
reading matter, for the accommodation OF
which the SUNDAY UNION was issued.
The necessity for the latter edition hav-
ing ceased, the publication of Sunday
issue will from this date be suspended
until the demand for still greater space in
the RECoRD-UNIoN, and the growth OF
gho1 -
ton. The RECoRD-UNIoN last week re-
ceived additional stereotyping machin-
cry, enlarging its capacity to publish
with facility, and the same is now in
place. We are therefore prepared to
carry every department that has been re-
served for the SUNDAY UNION, or extra
edition, into the regular issue of six
pages daily. All the departments and
special matter heretofore published will
be run from day to day in the RECORD
UNION, no feature being omitted, but
new ones being added, and the whole
general character of the paper as a first
class news, family and business journal
being much improved.
With the new lightning press and the
system of six pages daily, or fifty col
umns additional matter each week, COM
pared to the old style of issue, the REC
oRD-UNIoN viii continue to be the most
desirable morning journal of the interior,
possessing news facilities not equaled by
any other, and representing, as it does,
State interests in the broadest sense, with
earnest and constant attention given to
local development.

his speeches go, of the idea that had been
cultivated by his opponents that he is a
narrow partisan, and bound within
cramped sectionalism and party confines.
All such frank admissions are pleasing
and gratifying, not because they enlarge
the public estimate of the incumbent of
the Presidential chair, but because they
indicate the breaking down of party bar
riers between citizens and the growth of
Americanism and unity among the peo-
pie, that more than anything else will
tend to steer us clear of shoals and reefs
in the voyage of the republic towards its
highest destiny.
