The Protection rr,a cap,e iu Court.

The judges of the Cook County Ap- pellate Court have recently rendered c decision at Chicago which Is of very great importance in it's bearing on the tariff question. Tho case involved tho question of competition among stenog- raphers. In it's decision the court used this language:
 .Any agreement which in It's object or necessary operation tends to diminish competition as to anything the public have for sale or 1t Is necessary the public should use Is void. Public policy re- quires that the public shall obtain the things necessary for its use upon fair competition in free and open market or under such rules and regulations as the public laws may prescribe
 Tho court said further: sCombina- tions looking to the destruction of com petition have always beeA unfavorsbly regarded by tho law. for 1t is manifest that without competition there can bs no such thing e freedom of trade"
 This decision leads the Chicago Hcrald to make the following timely reflections:
 "The judges assume that freedom of trade is good thing and that combine tions are odious. not only when they de. stroy, but even when they tend to di- mintSn mpeuuOn. put great pOltl- cal party which has for thirty years shaped the economic policy of this country assumes that it is not restriction of trade but freedom of trade that is odious. That party has formed sn irre- sistible combination with classes en- gagged in the pursuit of certain indus tries to diminish competition and to compel people to pay more for certain things than they would have to pay un- der free competition. Tho Chicago judges agree with other able judges in conforming the policy of the party which has formed th1 greatest of all combinations for the suppression of competition, the destruction of freedom of trade and the practice of licensed sx- tortion on the greatest scale possibla When the principles of justice arc ap- piled the trade policy of the Republicans will not bear the test one moment'

Mabel was . deal surprised, but iol. lowed wonderingly. John had noveB spoksn that way to her befors; and, gentle as she was, she felt inclined to resent it. John lighted the drop-lamp on his desk in rather . deliberate manner and turned to his wife.
 Mabel" he said, twill you look at these letters and tell mo whether you wrote them?"
 Little Mrs. Weston took the papers and looked at them and from them to her husband. He was watching her sharply, and there was something in his look that checked her inclination to go to him.
 Why, yes," she said simply. But how did you get them?"
 John stood as if petrified.
 Do you mean to tell me you wrote those things to that Frenchmanf hs gasped at length.
 ''I wrote them for the professor, ' that IS what you mean7 They arc not so very bad, are they? I tried very hard to make them as nearly like the copy as possible. l."
 It never occurred to John to wonder how his wife had been able to write in French.
 What copyi" he said, alittle dazed,
 "Why, tho professors. was trying to learn French, SO as to help you, And that was the professors new method. l copied the words from him, A40 hs explained tho words afterward."
 Even after this it teok quite . while to restore peace. Little Mrs. Weston was inclined to blame her husband for doubting her, and she had oil tho dis appointment of losing the surprise that she had been preparing. But at last, after she had cried a little on Johns coat and had been variously petted and coaxed, she felt better about it, SO she said.
 And now" said John, after bar mony was restored, II think I will 70 and find the professor.
 He went, but his search was in vain. The gallant Frenchman had flown, and the dingy room looked little lees miserable, for tho professor was not in it. '.

CENTRAL ASIA.

Account of Its Wonderful Prog
 ress.
 The Central Asia exhibition m Mos COW furnishes significant evidence os the progress made by Russia in tho civilization and subjection of those wild people who, only . generation ago, were sunk in the depths of the most savage barbarian. The exhi- bition is held on the upper floor of the great historical museum, ln She old capital, and IS extremely intsreNtins and instructive. Models of some of the principal engineering triumphs oi Annenkof are among the most prom inent features. These show how rail roads were laid across vast dsserts h defiance of sand-storms, and how great rivers like tbe Oxus were brilged in spite of difficulties which q first sight seemed insurnountAbls. The inhabitants of these distant rsgions, their homes, and thsir customS a1o all illustrated in minieturs; and shoro is a rich collection ol specimens c their arts and manufacturers. Tho display of carpets Is said to be most striking, many of tho pieces bsins e. pecially remarkable for si1s, color, dc sign, and texture. There is also . profusion Of woolen, cotton, and silk en stuffs, much admirable work in gold, silver, and copper, and ap in- finite variety of ancient and modern weapons and armor. The evidences of the penetrating power of modem western civilization are sssn In the glass bottles filled with central Asia wines and in various tollet articles hitherto undreamed of in thoss dle- tant havens.

THE MILLING ON cosNs.
Something About Coino That lo ot
 Generally Known.

Something About coins That Is Net
 Generally Known.
 What is tho milling on . dollar or other coins Probably not one person in 500 would answsr thia simple question correctly. Thsre is . popular bsfisf that the corrugations on the rim of dollar are the milling. A Chronicle reporter thought 90, too, until the point happened to arise in . conversation with C. M. Gorham. coiner St tho Mint.
 Mir. Gorham went into the coinina room and picked up . "blank," . round piscs of plain silver cut out ol . silver bar. It had gone through one machine, which had slightly rounded the edges. The blank was dropped in . milling machine, and wheni it cama out a second or two later the rim was fiat and the edges of the rim were rais. ed little above the level of the sides. The verb milling" is this raising ol the rim of blank piece of money, and tho noun milling is this plain raised rim without reference to any corruga- tions anywhere. The purpose of the milling is to protect tho surface of tho sides from wear.
 The milling blank was dropped into 8 stamping machine from which il dropped aperfeot dollar. While in the machine the piece dropped into a cor rurated collar. and the niece armand. ing under great pressure, the rim wa forced into the corruQations and be came similarly corrugated. Int parallel notches or corrugations, gen erally called the milling, constitute thu ''reeding." The term is adapted from it's architectural use to express smal convex moulding, especially wher such mouldings are multiplied pAralle to each other.-San Francisco Chron 1 icle.

Jr.. and has made bel of $5, 900 that he will ride his alligator from Jacksonville down tho coast, around the Everglades into tho Gulf of Mexico, and up the west coast of tho State to Apalachicola, making the dis tsnce tabout 800 miles, in ninety days. He will mako frequent halts for rest and food. It is reported that Capt.

Tho Big Foreign Markct.


 It Is pleasant to the American farmer to watch the growing demand in Europe for his grain During July there were exported from this country breadstuffs valued at $16, 379. 291, as against $lo,- 733. in July, 1890 Tho exports of wheat wore 9, 4ls.775 bushels, compared with {, ,366, 1854 bushels in July, 1890
 The great and only Mckinley tries to belittle tho foreign market, and asks, -Wnat ssnctity hangs about it?" Our farmers care nothing about the sane tity" of the foreigA market, but they find it just now mighty good place to dispose of . wheat crop about 200, 900, 900 bushels too large for the boastsd home market. Mckinley's snsers about the foreign market will win small sympathy from them when they see how the big or ders from Europe arV causing wheat psicss to mount upward
 But Mckinley would never think of crying down the foreign market, if 1t were not that he has his Nigh tariff law to defend. He knows that this law tends to contract our foreign market hence his absurd attempt to show thst it is no good
 But the big foreign market is vindi- eating itself. It seems certain now tha4 when the present fiscal ye earends on June 30, 1892, and our farmers count up their years sales, they will find that the for eign market mas taken far larger quan- tity of our breadshlffs than ever before, and that 1t has comp pellcd the home mar. ket to pay much higher than average prices.
 This will All be In spite of our McKin- leytsn, not because of 1t We should havs still larger and much steadier foreign demand ion all foreign products if ONT tariff permitted us sD buy moro largely of European manufactured pnn<ka

THE continued jubiation of tho pro tection organs over the low price of sugar leads the Boston Herald to re- mark: "if our htgh tariff friends con tinue in this state of enthusiasm over the fall in the price of sugar from tho removal Of the duties npon that article, isn't there danger that they will implant Q desire in, the minds of the public te try this experiment of reelection upon some other articles? We really fail to sec how there Is any possible escape from this logic. Thus brosd avenue may be opened to that fearful free trade which has before not been mentioned without . shuddering apprehension.

 10 must not be supposed that tho tarifP is an unmixsd good for the manufActur- era There arc frequent casss where the mAnufacturers arc not only hurt by the tsrt6 bat arc actually driven out of busi- nesA And 1t is to be noted that when- ever such is tho case they do not lot their modesty keep them silent
 The case has recently been reported of . manufacturer of knitting machines who has been hurt by the Mckinley law. A representative of the Anasrtcosa Woot Reporter, leading protectionist trade paper, has had an interview with this manufacturer. Here is part of what was said
 50 you are making bicyclesA Is not that novel line of goods for knitting machine factory?"
 @Oh, ycs,s replied the manager, but our export trade is destroyed. Twenty. i've per cont of our force can produce enough goods for the home market, and we have as large domestic demand for machines as any works in the country, to state it mildly; 30 happily. circum- stsnoes being favorable, we are able to keep 75 DOT cent. of our mon ct work In . totally different field. which for their sakes we are glad to do.'
 sWhat is the cause of this great fall ing off from your export trade?'
 "The reason Is very simple. When the tariff on German knit goods is so high e to exclude them from tho American market, the Germans will not buy American knitting machinea You may say that, so far as the export trade is concerned, the manufacture of American knitting machines is para lyxod We have been In business since 1867. manufacturing machines, both for making seamless hosiery and for making underwear; also topping machines, looping machines, and machines for making union suits Ours are distinc- tively hand labor. saving machines. Our factory, in tho aggregate, Is 305 feet long, forty feet wide and three stories high. We have adequate water power, nine months in the year; employing steam power for tho remainder of that period; giving labor to 300 men. We hAve sold 100 machines year to 20 to Germany. We SC none now in that direction. You may say: The latest tariff legislation has destroyed that part of our business.
 An ounce of fact is worth ton of theory. A New England protectionist manufacturer gives the foregoing in- controvertible testimony to the ruinous effect of the Mckinley tariff upon 8 American industry.
