THE BASIS OF FREE TRADE.

Founded IN IN Idss Of Advantage and
Gain Nothing Above the Savage-No
Ambitions Motives or Elevated Views.
Free trade is based essentially on the
idea, expressed or implied, that in trad
ing with other nations we can cheat
them in the trade-that IN exchanging
with foreigners we can secure an adj
vantage over them, that IN return for
the products of ones days work of ours
we can get the product of day and .
half Of theirs.
This is delusive hope. With freedom
of trade, equalization would soon take
place All the wealth we can have is
what we produce, or its equivalent In
obtaining the equivalent Let US obtain it
of our own people. Thus, to the extent
that we are consumers of the things
they make we shall give them employ
ment, and, in return, to the extent that
they are consumers Of the things we
make win they give us employment,
thereby msuring an equilibrium in our
industries, developing at home skillful
artisans in every branch of industry and
dotting the country over with manu-
cSIS1OIlSuI00u
Free trade would Danish those estab-
hshments and would exchange skilled
mechanics for cheap doorlxnobs or cheap
cutlery. 1t would reject the knowledge
Of useful arts in order to save for tho
moment few cents . yard on wooden
cloth or cotton ties Or few cents
pound on tin plates. Protection secures
the arts and protects the artists It
transforms ignorance into knowledge.
Indifference into zeal, inertia into &C
tivity. impotence into power.
Free trade is based essentially On the
idea of landed aristocracy-on the idea
that the land Of the country IS the
property, not of independent farmers
owning and working their own land,
but of allodial lords owning practically
the community in which they live. It
has its foundation in that form Of social
development of which slavery was a
type, which takes no thought of the
man who works with his hands. 1t inn
plies that, as in Europe, there shall
eventually be in this country no pro-
prietary farmers. but that a few great
proprietors who disdain work shall
monopolize the land. 1t implies that
when a few barons shall hold in large
tracts the land of the country they, as
lords of the soil, can ordain that what
they call their" country shall forever
remain in the primitive occupation Of
agriculture.
These barOnial owners can say to all
corners: I'VE own all this land; this
country is ours; you can starve unless
you accept work on our terms. We do
not wish you to have variety of occu-
pations. We do not wish you to aspire.
What have you to do with aspiration?
We can buy all the manufactured goods
we want from the cheap labor of Europe
or Asia. If you open stores or set up
workshops you must compete with the
cl.eapness of Europe and the squalor of
the Hindoos and Chinese; you are en-
titled to no protection as against them.
They have as good right to sell their
wares here as you have" But in the
sa e breath the landed proprietor will
add, ''Of curse you people are ex-
pected to shoulder your guns and with
your lives defend and protect us and
our property in case those same Euro
peans or Chinese invade the country
and endanger our ownership of this
property"

MR.. JACK CUNNINGHAM.
A Comedy Of Errors Caused by the
Similarity of Names.

Mr.. Jack Connyngham, aged forty
five. and his nephew, Jack COnnyng-
ham, twenty years younger, lived in
Washington city.
They belonged to the same club, and,
in spite of the difference of their ages,
went in the same set. How it came to
pass that the elder man was not called
''Old Connyngham" and the other
''Young Connyngham" is not known.
But it was a singular fact that the
uncle retained the prefix mister" that
had been attached to his name for SO
many years. even after the nephew had
grown to mans estate and might also
lay claim to it. He was simply called
Jack Connyngham.
This rule was generally adhered to.
Had there been no exceptions to it we
would have no story to tell.
Angela Morningstar was beautiful
girl. Bright and accomplished, the only
child of indulgent parents, she was
much sought after.
Jack Connyngham was foremost in
her train of adorers; but although
Angela was kinder to him than to any
of the others, he yet lacked courage to
risk possible rejection.
He felt ashemed of his indecision.
and at last resolved to know his fate at
the earliest opportunity. Two days
after this determination the British
minister and his family gave their
annual ball.
Jack attended, hoping to find his
divinity and be able to tell his love in
the dreamy mazes Of the waltz or in
some propitious nook in conservatory
or tete-d-tete room.
1t was rather late when he entered
the ballroom and looked anxiously
around for Miss Morningstar.
He discovered her quite at the end of
the room, conversing animatedly with
his Uncle Jack. He started leisurely
toward them, but the crowd was large
and it was several minutes before he
could reach the corner they were en-
sconced in.
In the meantime Mr.. Jack Connyng-
ham and Miss Morningstar were talk
ing
The decorations are extremely love
~ tonight" the lady said, glancing, as
she spoke, at a mass of gorgeous bios
SONS near her. ''These roses are simply
superb"
but see those orchids, Miss Angela:
did You ever see beauty more fully en-
bodied in fower?"
Miss Morningstar was silent for a
moment, then, evidently yielding to an
impulse. turned to her companion and
said:
Il am ashamed to confess it, Mr.. Con-
nynghan, but actually do not care for
them"
Mr.. Connyngham was shocked. He
had an unbounded admiration for or
chids, and thought everyone else should
see their beauties. Desiring to make
this charming girl convert to his
views. he leaned toward her in his zeal
''Why. my dear Miss Angela. do you
know positively adore"
beg pardon. Miss Morningstar, but
this is our waltz" interrupted a distin-
guished attache of the legation, and
Angela, with a graceful adieu, glided
away from him, and Mr.. Cunningham
lost his opportunity o: telling her why
he adored-orchids.
Jack reached his uncle's side just as
the young couple disappeared He

An English View Of the Effects Of PrOtec-
fi0n.

An English View Of the Effects Of PrOtec-
ton.
There is this difference between an
Englishman and his servant on the
American press-an Englishman will
sometimes stop lying. And English
newspapers are beginning to tell the
truth about the effects of our late fiscal
legislation. One of these commences an
article as follows:
There are signs OF the Mckinley tariff pro
ducinx the effect its promoters designed and
anticipated that is. the transfer OF manufac-
turing industries from foreign countries to the
United States Rhode Island Is likely to be-

After a sneer at the quality of the
German cutlery-the English have al
WAYS maintained that their poor bayo-
nets and swords were from SOlingen-
and mentioning the German habit OF
forging marks on their cutlery, the
paper continues:
There are signs elsewhere as we'll OF trans

felt in the permanence Of anv fiscal policy

As laid down by MIR. Blaine.
This is undoubtedly true, and if Pres
ident Harrison had stated distinctly
after the November elections that no
legislation in the interest of British
capitalists could become law during
his administration. more transfers OF
factories to this country would have
been chronicled, and by SO much would
there be less corruption in our next
general election; for even British
manufacturer, with his mill in this
country. will not be found contributing
to reform"

SEWING NEEDLES MADE FREE

Because They Are Not Manufactured h
This CountFy-A Conparison with tn
Plate which Can BE- Made Here.
Do you know Why We put sewing needles ON
lying principle Of protection. because We didn't
manufacture them 1t home.-Mckinley, in New
York.
Why, then, esteemed sir. did you put duty on
tin plate, which was Lot produced in this coun-
try any more than needles In order to have
been consistent you should have clapped . duty
Of one hundred per cent On needles, and then
We would hear the Utica Herald assuring US
that in the course of . couple Of years needles
would b produced in this country, and that tho
duty was grand geod thing; and We would see
American Deedles distributed among the dele
gates to republican conventions amid the howls
Of the faithful.
The Utica Observer puts the above as
real poser. 1t essays to believe that
because needles were put upon the free
list for the reason that we did not man
mfacture them at home, therefore tin
should have been placed upon the free
list for the same reason It might as
we'll be said that rs tea is free because
we do nOt produce it, therefore tin
should be free, as We did not six months
ago produce it. The manufacture Of
needles has been attempted in the
United States and has failed: and it was
represented tO the committee on ways
and means that no rate Of duty, how
ever high, would encourage its COM
mencement growth and progress. The
duty on needles was purely revenue
duty, q democratic duty, and was,
therefore. paid by the consumer, and
largely by the poor and underpaid
working women employed as seam
stresses, shirt-makers. etc. AS the rev.
enue was not required. and the bill was
framed upon protective principles, to re-
lieve the people. sewing needles were
put upon the free list
Not 50 with tin. We had demonstrated
in this country over and over again that
we could successfully manufacture tin
plate. That was no longer experimental.
The only need was sufficient duty. 1t
was made to appear to the committee
ON ways and means that we had pig
tin in the United States which would
be developed if q duty was given suf-
fcient to encourage our people in the
business of making tin. and thus the
increased duty. That it was justified
is already shown by the fact that
twelve tin making establishments are
either erected or in process Of erection
capable of making one-sixth Of all the
tin we consume. which is about 800. 900
tons This has been accomplished in
anticipation of the increased duty, which
does not go into effect until July LIST
next
The trainers of the bill believed that
needles could and would not be made
in this country, and were so advised.
Nobody was proposing to make them.
They believed that tin could be, would
be, and, in fact, knew had been, and SO
made needles free, and increased the
duty on tin in the interest of the Ameri-
can mines and American labor.
Whenever it shall appear that needles
can be made in this country successfully
by adequate duties the protection party
will give it.
Now let the Utica Observer come
again.

The Most Profitable Kind Of Exports.

There is very little profit to any peo-
pie in the export of crude products. The
exporting nation must pay all the costs
of transportation to market. Trans
portation charges on farm products,
iron ore, coal and similar crude prod
ucts would leave but beggarly profit
to their producers if they had to be car
ried for sale across the ocean. This
truth was clear to the founders of the
government. who had witnessed the ills
incident to the exclusive production of
raw materials in the early history of
the colonies. To change this deplorable
state of affairs was their desire. SO they
instituted the American system of pro-
tecting and encouraging manufactures.
Items like the following from the Iron
Age of May 81 are the result:
LOCOMOTIVES FOR EXPORT. Tho Rhode
Island locomotive works Of Providence, r. L.
recently shipped twelve locomotives from their
works, three Of them being for export to South
America The number included three ten
wheel locomotives. with lsxe4 inch cylinders,
54-inch boilers and 54-inch wheels, for the Bos-
Ton Maine railroad The total weight Of the
engines loaded Is 100. 400 pounds, and the weight
Of the driver 5000 pounds.
This is the profitable form in which
to export our wheat and iron. Our own
working people have received the
money paid for making these locomo-
tives, W lille the producers of coal and
food have saved ocean transportation
charges and disposed of their products
ut the locomotive works at far better
prices than they could have hoped for

Ris Q in Farming Lands.

Nothing is more evident than that the
west-particularly the northwest-is on
the eve of great business revival.
And, as if to even things up, it looks as
though the agricultural interests
which were the first to decline when the
hard times of the past few years came
upon us-were to be the first to revive.
1t is certain that the great country ~
ing west of Minneapolis never before
promised so well as now. Taking North
Dakota as an illustration, it can be con-
fidently predicted that a revival of pros
perity is at the door. All kinds of farm
products are bringing good price, and
the outlook for great crOps-not alone
of wheat, but of everything raised by
the farmer-never was so promising.
In the last few years, too, owing to the
low price of wheat, farmers have gone
more or less into stock, and almost be-
fore they have realized it themselves
their sheep and cattle and horses have
multiplied until the stock interest has
become gigantic one. And with this
and the prospect now opening up, the
price of farming lands has begun to adj
vance. 1t will only be few years till
all the available agricultural land will
be settled; when once the tide again
turns toward the northwest the states
containing these farming lands will be
filed with class of people who will go
to stay and go also to prosper. The re-
suit will be a doubling, trebling or
quadrupling of prices, and the man who
has retained his land through these
years of depression will have his re-
ward. Minneapolis Tribune, May II.

great depths and considerable expense
has to be incurred for pumping, venti-

have recently been introduced on the
Comstock lode with great efficiency. In
conveying water in fumes tc the mouth
of the shaft and allowing Il to fall to

equal to $50 pounds to the square inch
was obtained, but the problem was to
transfer this power from the tunnel

stamp mills where it could take the
place OF steam. The electric motors
that were used to convey this power
from point 600 feet below the surface
to the mills on the surface showed a loss
of about 40 per cent, the horsepower
obtained amounting TO 435. With steam
as a motive power it was found impossi-
BILE to treat economically ores carrying
less than Sl5 of gold or silver to the ton,
