AN EXAMPLE OF FREE Trade
We need not 90 to Great Britain with
her tremendous manufacturing and
her commerce and shipping which ex.
tend over the face Of the whole earth,
to see what free trade can accomplish.
We have an example of it at our
own doors.
In 1876 free trade was agreed upon
by the United States and the Sand .
wich Islands. That year the total
foreign trade Of the Islands was less
than four million of dollars. Last
year the trade with the United States
alone was between fourteen and ff.
teen millions. San Francisco alone
sold to the Sandwich Islands in 1890
over four million dollars worth of
goods and brought from there nearly
twelve end half millions which in.
cluded over a hundred and twenty.
FIVE thousand tons of sugar. The en-.
tire foreign trade Of the Islands had
increased in 1890 to about twenty
millions of dollars, nearly three.
fourths Of which was carried in ships
flying the American flag.
Protection" would instantly des-
troy this trade and the entire bust.
ness. Who would be benefited by
such protection If free trade does
so well in this instance why should it
not be extended? ?
We believe that the breaking down
Of the protective Chinese wall which
now shuts Us in from the trade and
commerce of the world, would be fol.
lowed by as marked results upon an
infinitely larger scale as has been seen
in our intercourse with Hawaii. It
would increase our manufacturers and
would inJure no one but the trusts
and monopolies.

The United States naval ship G ale.
ma was overhauled at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard and her boilers were found
unfit for use. The new boilers for
her were at the yard. but instead of
being put in place there they were
loaded on to the Galena's deck ard
an attempt was made last week, at
the most stormy season Of the year to
tow the helpless Galens by small
tug from Brooklyn to Portsmouth, n.
Il. A gale caught the tug and the
Galena and blew them ashore
at Gay Head, on the Massachu-
setts coast. The crsws were saved
but the Galena and the Nina are
pounding to pieces on the rocks. A
dispatch from Portsmouth says that
the wreck has caused great sorrow
there because The Galena's repairs
were expected to furnish employment
for 800 or 400 men for several months.
In fact, there seems to have been no
reason for exposing the Galena when
completely disabled to the dangers Of
a March storm off the New England
coast except the desire to disburse
some of the naval appropriation in a
State where the Gallinger Repub bli.

of concert in action. In times past
they have been accustomed only to
individual action. but they are now

Cooperation and the Home.

Our homes are half century behind
what cooperation aided by science
might have made them. We have got
so far as to send spinning and weaving
60 the factory and to secure water and
light from a common center of supply.
But we still carry on in the old fashion
the preparation of food and the gen
Grafton of heat. We still keep in each
house servants to attend to matters
which would be better disposed of by
employing the agents of company to
attend to each department of house
hold work.
The house of the future will be
warmed as well as watered and lighted

motive power from some central reser-
yOir of force, to work elevators and
sewing machines, to cool its heated air
in summer by tanning, aud to draw off
dust and etfluvia to a distance by ex-
hanStion. Its inmates will be fed from
a cooperative Kitchen. A piece Of
coal never will enter its walls. except
as an addition to the collection of min
erals. The work Of its mistress will be
simplitied by the elimination of score
of industries for which women have no

which act as serious distractions to

evening the inhabitants sit round the
tent, and he tells them tales, many of
them thousands OF years old and full of
the condensed wisdom of ages. In
Spain the mEleteer who wanders about
the country ILLS exactly the same posi-
ton. and to the literature popularized
by him must be largely attributed the
richness OF Spanish in proverbs.
Tony Weller was the proverb-spin-
uer of the Pic6wick crowd He rot
his faculty in the very same way that
the Spanish muleteer and the Persian
story-teller got theirs He met a great
many people in his trips on the coach,
aud his savings got sharpness and
clearneSs OF outline with every fresh
repetition. No doubt many of them
were retailed by countless qppreciatiye
hearers.
In the same way, the Jarvey IN the
south of Ireland is by nature macn
facturer of proverbs. He is part of
all that he has met, ana, as action and
reaction are equal and opposite, all
that he has met become a part of him.
Nhen-a proyerb has gained sure
place in one language, and strikes
some observer of different race aud
civilization, there is a difficulty about
transporting it bodily. If it be eastern
1t will have reference that will not,
for Instance. appeal to westerns. What
then happens is that it is localized, 1t
is treated in the very way that names
are altered in a good story to give it
local color. In this way an eastern
proyerb about a camel becomes a west
ern one about a horse, aud so on.

The Cause of the Difference.

A gentleman who has recently re-
turned from Russia, SAYS the Boston
Courier relates an incident which.
although trilling enough in itself. is
vet most pathotically suggestive 1T the
condition of the poor H. Russia. and OF
the state OF thing which has bred 50
deep aud SO widespread discomfort
among the people.
Being about to leave some station at
which ne had been staying for few
DAYS, the gentleman in question called
in moozhik-to adopt the spelling of
George kennan--tO strap his trunks.
The man was of enormous build with
every appearance of great strength,
while the traveller is not above medium
height, and while OF compact mold is
by no means OF muscular appearance.
The trunk was rather overfull, and
the task of bringing the buckle on the
strap into its place was by no means "A
light one. The Russian tried again
and again, becoming short of breath
and red in the face with his efforts
while the American looked on ut first
in impatient silence and then with con-
temptuous reproaches. At length,
losing patience, the traveller pushed
the moozhk aside. aud with single
quick effort brought the strap down
and buckled it.
There he said care you not
ashamed you great big fellow, to be
all this time buugling over thing
that | can do in minute, aud | only
up to your Shoulders?"
There was no trace of anger in the
reply:
'Ah, little father, but you have had
meat to eat all your life.

ceived from Minister Egan at Santiago. Ii
Is believed by the officials Of the state
department, Notwithstanding the dis
patch 10 the contrary. that Santiago
is still IN the hands of Balmaceda.
They base the opinion on the fact that the
department has not been informed by Min
lister Egan of its capture. They say he
would certainly have notified the depart

there IS no Interference with the cable lines

The Gillian minister declined 10 receive

the Junta was on its way
10 Santiago was message

hands Of the Congressional party. and that
they have established temporary authority
looking to the safety of persons and prop

are unknown.
