lays gone by. when . low tariff system
~ tree trade WAS IN operation, the poor
man Was denied the service of packet
and coach and made his journeys on
foot or BY pack mule. because from his
meagre earnings he could not save
enough to pay Tor his ride. Today the

poorest citizen may purchase suit of
clothes Mt to be worn IN any place. so
might comparisons be continued in
definitely. But our free trade friends
would protest that tho tariff had
nothing to do with these remarkable
changes; that the tariff did not edu-
cate, did not invent the locomotive, the
telegraph, the telephone nor discover
the subtle power OF electricity by which
our present advanced state was made
possible. Very true. Mark the pro.
gress OF this country from its birth to
1850. Then skip period Of seven
years. Pursue its progress from that
time to the present The comparison
cannot fail but to be impressive. Per-
haps the development Of industries and
the settlement OF the country might
have been more rapid under free trade
than under protection, but the lessons
OF history teach otherwise. Today We
have the grandesr homes. the grsndest
farms, the grandest factories, mills and
workshops. The grandest railways, the
grandest system of laws, tho grandest
system of civil government aud we are
the grandest and most prosperous peo-
pie on earth. Shall sllAhis be disturbed
by breaking down the protective tariff
to try free trade and unrestricted for
eign competition? A vote for Belknap
will answer nay.

Prince Of vale. Annoyed.

London, Oct. Sl.-The Prince of
Wales continues to be very much an
noyed about various stories relating TO
his household affairs published by a
certain section of the press. Some of
these are SO absurd that they carry
their REPUTATION on their face. Others,
however, are really true and show n
very intimate knowledge of matters
pertaining to the princes affairs. such
as no servant would be likely TO possess.
The only inference possible, and there
fore the one winch naturally the prince
is forced TO accept, is that the leakage
occurs among some OF the higher
members of his set.
