No nation has ever fostered more liber-

development Of our home trade, we have
built As per cent of all the railroads of

WINDOWS WISDOM.
Economic Gems Dropped by the Dead
Treasurer.

By the tariff act of 1854 an additional dis
eliminating duty of 10 per cent. was levied
on all goods imported in vessels not OF the
United States. And in all changes of the
tariff prior to the war of 1912 this discrim-
mating duty OF 10 per cent. was re-enact-
ed. So great was the development of our
shipbuilding and shipping interests under
the fostering influences Of these acts that
we sold shirs amounting to hundreds of
thousands Of tons to foreigners and soon
took front rank imoEg maritime nations.

Presidents of the United States have re-
peatidly expressed the national humiliation
and appealed to congress in behalf of our
rapidly-vanishinq merchant marine, but
thus far their words have fallen upon deaf
ears. Letus hope that the urgent appeals
of President Harrison on this subject may
bear fruit in some well-devised measure of
protection and encouragement. The
American people ask no odds against ans
In the world. Give them ar even chance
and they will distance all competition, but
how can they be expected to compete I'M
aided against foreign shipyards and ship
owners, backed by the power and the
treasures of their governments? The
amount that has been thus contributed to
sweep our commerce from the seas cannot
oe accurately sta ed, but it is known to
have reached hundreds of millions Of dol
lars.
So strong had our position become un-
der the protective policy of the first
twenty-five years of national life, that our
merchant marine continued to be pros
porous so long as wooden vessels were the
only vehicles of ocean commerce, and
other nations refrained from heavy sub
sidities to their ships Bat when wooden
vessels began to be supplanted by iron
steamers, and European governments
poured their contributions into the treas
uries of their steamship companies the
decadence of American shipping began
and has continued ever since.

record of 2:294 unde the pilotage OF her
breeder, f.. b. Emory, of Centreville. Md.
She was but once a starter in 1890 and
met defeat in her only 3-year-old race.
This season John Turner, of the Quaker
City, took Happy Bee in charge and soon
made her name well known. At Pitts
burg she was second to Redmont, who
won one heat in 2:2l. At Cleveland she
buzzed into first place in the 2:27 class and
won against Play Boy. Ryland II and 9TH
ers in straight heats. Her best time was
2:17A.
She was again victorious at Buffalo, and
then her hackers cast envious eyes upon
the rich $4,000 Flower City stake at Roch-
ester. Happy Bee went her noisy and in
dustrious little namesake a few better, and
improved each shining second, defeating
Little Albert, after a hard struggle, for
the $4,000 honey. Albert got the first heat
in 2:lS9l, but Happy Bee outtrotted him in
the three heats following.
At Springfield Happy Bee won the Q 1000
stake In the 2:2S class after a desperate bat
tie with such niers as Fanny Wilcox and
Martha Wilkes. Happy Bee finishes the
season with the reputation of having been
one of the best 4-year-olds ever cam
paigned. She WAS foaled in 1887, and was
by Happy Russell out of Beeswing.

 On Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock Nr W. II. Izarti and Miss N. K. Hines were united in tue holy of bonds we'd lock at the home of T. R. Hoshall near Mcdaniel.
 At the residence of the bride s mother, on the same evening, Mr. Dudley Mcdaniel and Miss Lula Thomas were also made man and wife.
 It was with genuine pleasure that the editor of THE TIMES witnessed the marriage of his old friend Will Izard, and he sincerely hopes no storm. cloud will arise to mar the future hap piness of the deserving young couple. If good wishes of frieyds can bring them the full fruition of their highest hopes and brightest anticipations, they will certainly realize their fond est expectations.
 To Mr Mcdaniel aud his charming bride We also tender our best wishes for happiness and prosperity. They are well calculated to prove to each other the most affectionate helpmeetS and companions, and we are sure that both will strive to make the coming years fair and bright with unswervins love.
 The sumptuous repast spread by Mrs. IIoshall for the delectation of her guests was elegant in all it's appoint ments, surpassing anthiug the writer has ever seen on a similar occasion in Arkansas. The vands were as varied and delicious as they were well served, and the guests evidenced their appreci- ation Tn q substantial manner.
