A DISHONEST APPROPRIATION.
Protection Always Claims the Credit
Due to Invention and Experience

Protection Always Claims the Credit
Due to Invention and Experience
The absurdity of the claim made
by the protectionists, when protec-
ted manufactured goods have de-
clined in price, that such decline is
the ssdirect result of the protective
system" may be seen from case
in which protection could not pos
sibly have had any effect.
Our corn canning industry affords
an excellent example of how indus
tries may be developed and costs
be lowered by inventions and inn
proved methods, entirely apart from
any outside stimulus like a protec-
tive tariff. Ofcourse there is duty
on canned corn, but this duty has
had absolutely no effect on the in
dustry, being simply one of those
bogus duties put into the tariff to
hoodwink farmers.
"Thirty years ago." says lead
ing corn packer, 'corn was cut from
the cob by hand at the rate of a
bushel an hour, placed into the
handmade cans, the labor cost of
which was s1.25 per dozen, cooked
six hours and sold for $3.50 per
dozen. Now u machine with the
aid of one hand will cut 125 bushels
an hour. Another machine will
fill the cans at an equal gait, the
labor cost in cans will not exceed
three cents per dozen, while i'm
proved cookers have run the time
for processing down to single
hour and the can is sold at a profit
of 81 per dozen. The revolution has
been from horde of unskilled la
borers, doing all the work by hand,
to fewer but better laborers, who
are intelligent enough to use ma
chinery; while increased facilities,
the eminations from the brain of a
Norton, Sprague, Chisholm and a
host of other tireless inventors,
have reduced the creative cost over
80 per cent"
The same thing has of course
taken place in many protected
industries, notably in steel rails.
The protectionists never weary of
telling us that protection has
brought down the price of rails
from s166 a ton to 80; but every
man of intelligence knows that the
reduction was caused by the inven-
ton of Sir Henry Bessemer, an un-,
protected Englishman. This re-
duction, too, has gone to a much
lower point in England than in the
United States, the price in England
being now from s21.90 to s22.5O
per ton, against the trust price of
$50 to s31 here.
When protection claims the fruits
of invention it is like the jackdaw
stealing the canary's feathers. But
protection is quite accustomed to
appropriating what belongs to
others, and is true to it's character
again in this matter.

PHILLIPS BROOKS SHORT
COMINGS.

The contest over the confirmation of
PHILLIPS BROOKS as bishop of Massa-
chusetts is waging with great vigor.
He not only needs the Endorsement of
the standing committees of a majority
of the dIoceses in the country, but also of
a majority of the house of bishops. The
opposition to his elevation is very
strong, but he is thus far safely ahead.
1t is believed that the stoutest fight of
his foes will be made when the ques-
ton comes before the. bishops, and
against that time there is already much
lobbying ana much pamphlet-writing.
The standing committee of the do
cese of Kentucky gave its approval of
his election the other day, but not by a
unanimous vote. Two of its members
voted in the negative because Dr..
Brooks does not consider the threefold
constitution of the ministry necessary.
This illustrates the sort of thing this
strongest of men and greatest of preach
ers has to wrestle with and be patient
under. A respectable minority in Ken
lucky, the land of good feeling and high
spirits, say that he shall not become
bishop because he does not consider
the threefold constitution of the minis
try necessary.
What under the sun is the threefold
constitution of the ministry; and what,
pray, should DR.. BROOKS consider it
necessary for? 1t must be something
profoundly important. or his shortcom-
ings in reference to it would not be
brought up in this style to arrest his
progress in ecclesiastical preferment.
Is it matter of faith or of works? Is
it some moral law which DR.. BROOKS
has violated at some stage of his career,
and is this a revival OF some old scan
dial about his private life? Or is it some
thing in Christ's teachings about which
DR.. Brooks views do not square
with those of soma Of his fell
low priests? And, whether it is
a matter of faith or of works,
what is it good for? Does it help to
make the world better? Does it remove
one ounce from the burden Of sin under
which humanity struggles? Doesit open
the eyes of blinded and cropping men so
that they can see and know the truth?
Does it cheer in any degree the hearts
torn with sorrows not of their own max
ing, but Of which they have endured the
pain?
DIR. BROOKS, it appears, does not con-
slder the three-fold constitution of the
ministry unnecessary, and yet without
it be has achieved great deal of good
work in all those fields in which it
might be valuable if it has any value at
all. Suppose he did consider the three
fold constitution of ministry, whatever
that may be, necessary, what wonder
ful man he would be.

AS A SUGAR STATE.

One of the most recent of the bulle
tins received from the agricultural de-
partment relates TO the sugar beet mat
ter. 1t gives the analysis of beets grown
in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa, In

sofa is second. 1t produced fifteen, to
thlrty-six from Nebraska. The latter
state has given the subject more atten-
ton, perhaps, than any in this direction.
and makes the most favorable exhibit.
California has some reputation as
beet sugar state, having been one of
the first to grow the beet for
this purpose, but it showed only
two specimens containing as large a
percentage of sugar as those from Min
nesota. The chemist believes that beets
that reach IA per cent of sugar will
be profitable. There is a wide differ
ence in sections in their adaptation to
this product. and this state is ap.ong tbs

arrival. 1t is wrong that either
the needs of some steamship companies,
the mistaken kindness OF friends or the
wish of many foreign communities to be
rid OF burdens properly theirs, should
be permitted to- result in this useless
cruelty. In order to promote the OBJ
1ects of the immigration laws of the
Uniled States and avoid unnecessary
hardships to aliens whom our laws ex-
clude, the secretary of treasury invites
the cooperation of the several steam
ship lines and all other interested par
ties in carrying out a system OF foreign
inquiry that will facilitate the work of
the government officers. 1t is the duty
of each transportation company angaged
III bringing alien emigrants into
the United States to diligently
inquire whether any person APP
plying for passage probably
came within the prohibited classes, and
rigidly to exclude all such persons.
The measure suggested is not designed
to take the place of the inspection by
the regular United States officials at
the several ports of arrival, but is to be

DOGS IN WAR.

There are many new devices and
features being brought into the martial
arena, but most of them are designed to
expedite results, by destroying the men
engaged in the contest more rapidly
and Sweepingly. Guns and explosives
are to be made so deadly that war will
be too dangerous to life to be tolerabIe.
Then it is proposed to drop down the
deadly missiles from aerial war ships
and make dire trouble. 1t is alternating
to turn from this dark and repellant
side and note the alleyiations of inven-
ton and refinement. The bicycle is in
troduced, with promise of usefulness
in most of the armies. If regiments
become so expert on the wheels
as to go into battle on them, it
will afford novel and lively
spectacle. If time and care are
had to prepare the field of opera
lions with proper grading, the bicycle
may take place in the front. In the
E uropean armies the latest phase is the
use of the dog as war element. This
is not modern idea, as it was in vogue
in the ancient days when muscle and
Drawn were of more value. Some of
the phrases that have come down from
the classics indicate the use of the ca
nine, such as ''let slip the dogs of war;"
''call off your dogs, then" 1t is said
there Is great demand for suitable dogs
for training i'll nearly all the leading
armies of Europe. Hundreds of them
have been utilized in the German and
French armies. AS pickets and senti-
nelS they are particularly Serviceable,
as they can be made so easily to
distinguish enemies from friends by
the uniform of the respective armies.
They do not lose their possession in
battle, but do good service in finding the
wounded, carrying provisions, messages
and doing hospital work. Dogs are
sought for all over Europe for army
service, and 1t is becoming an important
Industry to produce the breeds best
adapted to the business. The only seri-
Uus charge made against the animals is
that they develop too much of the
fighting spirit, and are not always care
full to distinguish between friendly or
hostile animal. When on the most i'm
portant duty, carrying messages, medi-
cineS OF other staff service, they are liza
BILE to see a chance for a scrimmage, and
drop their packages. This DISPOSE
ton, may, however, be restrained
by discipline The mission of the army
is to fight and destroy. When the
CANNES are eyoluted into reliable sol
diery, it is possible that they may be
allowed to determine conflicts. 1t is
more the nature of the dog than the
human to fight, and if it is brutal, are
they not brutes? a contest between a
few thousand dogs on each side would
he spectacle for gods and men. There
is nothing that aggregates the average
male citizen like dog fight. A theo
logical authority says dogs delight tc
bark and bite" There would be com
mon satisfaction, then, to dogs and men
Whether this would degrade the dogs
or men the most would be question
for subsequent inquiry.
