Protection and Watcht 9.

Not many years ago there were no
American watches. Switzerland furnish
I'd some of the cheap watches and some of
the higher priced ones. English patent
lever watches were the best in popular
estimation. When is was propc sed to de-
velop American Matchmaking the free
traders protested just as Loudly against the
prot ective tariff levied for this purpose as
as they now do against the tariff on tin
plates. Yet today, as a free trade ex-
change informs Us, great anxiety is felt
in Switzerland concerning the decadence
of the Matchmaking industry. which
next 10 the textile industry. is the MAIN
stay of the inhabitants of the country
The profits are dwindling down, as the
United States every year is becoming a
more powerful rival in the field. The de-
mand, too, for Swiss watches is falling eff
considerably in certain countries, rotab!y
in this country and in France" The
fact is that the United States, thanks to
protection, is the greatest manufacturing
nation on the planet.

Superiority of American Machinery

This is rather significant statement,
says the Boston Jouranl, that appears in
London industries relative to the superior
character of American machinery. 1t is
calculated to give as little to free trade of
the United as to the manufacturers Of
England. The London Journal, describ
ing large company that has been formed
in Brazil for manufacturing purposes, de-
clared that "a representative of the con-
earn Is in the United States buying ma
chinery (which includes a paper making
plant, saw mill and steam laundry ap-
planes. He has visited Germany, France.
Belgium and England, and is reported to
have declared that American machinery
is superior to anything made in Europe
The price of European machinery was,
he said, little lower, but the American
machines are much more labor, saving
This is a striking confederation, from an
unfriendly European source, of business
truth for which American protection
lists have always contented. This is I'M
questionably a large market for our
machinery in the Latin-American repub,
lies, and all that is required is for our
merchants to show the same enterprise
and energy in pushing their goods as their
European rivals do. and for our govern.
ment to aid in providing the same means
of swift and regular communication.

supply every pound of every kind of wool

thrive where others would not, and pro-
duce lambs where others would not, would
employ grazing lands in Texas, some of

cultivation in crops, alternated and kept
fertile by grazing sheep, and utilize other

You, of strong, healthy bodies, who
have old people in your care should use
great consideration and tenderness in the
cold, winter weather. You should bear in
mind how feeble is the pulse and thin the
blood of old folks. They get chilled so
quickly. They should have the wa1mest
corner, the Harmest bedroom. They
should have soft. all-wool garments next
their person, and wooden clothing through
out. Many an old person, helpless and
dependently situated. is delicate in making
such requests for such comforts. And oft
en-times younger members of the fam
lily, in the flush of health and rnsh
of duties, thoroughly neglect to provide
them.
The helplessness and dependency of age,
with its failing mental faculties, is the
most pitifal condition of life. Aud
those who have the sacred responsibility
of caring for them should see that the old
folks are kept warm and comfortable.
