past and present. She lived over aeuin
all the old happy days when she was at
homo with her father, and as she re-
called his tender expressions of love q
faint shadow of q smile lurled about
her worn and wasted features. But
even that shadow was fieeting, for the
remembrance of the present brought a
cloud to drive 1t away. and the old sor-
row that preyed on her soul came back
to her in all it's terribleness.
Then Louise returned from the store,
bringing with her letter addressed to
her mother. Listlessly Mary Green
took 1T and glanced at the postmark.
Then she eagerly tore the envelope, for
1T was from Dayton, and her first
thought was that il must be from her
father, and for moment she INDUCED
the widest, fondest hopes. Perhaps he
had relented. and again opened his
heart to receive his child. With trem-
bling fingers, and fast beating heart,
she drew the letter from its cover and
began to devour it's contents. But soon
the flush of hope died out of her face,
and shadow of sorrow and grief deep
err than any it had ever worn succeeded.
The letter was not from her father.
but from lady of her acquaintance,

Perhaps our correspondent had in
mind another theory about opening for
eign markets by first opening our own.
Perhaps he did not base it on mere sem
timent but on what he believed TO be
sound economic law. He may have rea-
soned with himself thus: 1.-THE trouble
with American agriculture is that the
demand for its products does not come
up to the supply. The way out is to in
crease the demand. Therefore, put
more men and women to work in
Europe making goods for us, and they
will be able TO buy more of our agricul-
tural products" His expression, ''On
account oil buying in Europe we could
ship an equivalence in farm produce"
can mean nothing else.
The European workmen so set to work
would undoubtedly buy more literally
OF farm products Thus far our corre-
spondent's theory is sound. But what
farms would supply them?
Every European country raises nearly
all the food its own people consume.
Workmen there draw a comparatively
small portion of what they eat from
other countries, and only small part
OF that fraction from the United States.
The vast majority of the working peo-
pie outside of Great Britain never see
an American product So when Won set
your European labor at work, thus
enabling IL 10 buy food more literally.
you simply increase consumption. for
the most part. of European, not Ameri-
can, food products
In the meantime, what about the con-
sumption OF food in this country? The
increase In consumption abroad Is based
on the assumption that Europe Is supply
ing Us with cheap manufactured prod
ucts.
What has become OF tho people who
used 20 make similar goods in this
country 70 supply the demand now con-
trolled by Europe? Will not they be
thrown out of employment. since the
things they made now come from
abroad? Is IL not likely that many OF
them will be driven on 20 the land for a
living and transformed from consumers
20 producers OF agricultural products?
While the workman you set 90 work
la Europe 20 make goods for America
viii draw 90 per cent OF what he con.
sumes from the soil OF his own country
and the greater part OF the other 10 pei
cent from Russia, India and other coun
tries, you at the same time. and as
direct consequence Of the increased EN-
plOvment abroad, throw an American
out Of work who consumes twice oi
three times as much Of food products a,
the European, and necessarily draws o,
per cent Of his consumption from
American farms little carefu
thought must convince any intelligcn
man that the adoption Of policy look
ing 70 the expansion Of the markets 10
American farm produce from suppiant
ing American consumers by European
consumers would Ne deplorable folly.

AngIo-Maniac. Pay tho TarIn.

The Anglo-maniac who insists on
sending to London for his clothes finds
that he has to pay a little more for
them than before, or if he has them
made here from imported cloth he has
the added duty to pay; but this kind of
man is out of the question in n general
discussion of fiscal problems. Legisla-
ton is for the many, not for tho
wealthy and luxurious few. and it il
they who are receiving the benefit of
cheap clothes.
In almost every article of mems cloth
ing, from the skin outward. there has
been marked decline in prices, owing
to competition among American manu-
facturers. This needs no argument to
prove it. The shop windows are the
best and most conclusive argument.
American fabrics made up by Amer
lean manufacturers. of just us good
quality, il not better than the same
class of fabrics made abroad, can be and
are supplied to the people of the United
States at prices which are remarkably
low. Perhaps the competition may be
too keen for the best interests of the
producers, but the consumers certainty
profit by it, so the free trader should be
happy, for your thorough free
trader recognizes only the consumer in
discussing political economy. San
