Who can measure the friction, the ILL
feeling, the disturbance Of trade rela-
tions, and even of political antilles, that
are TO result from this scheme? What
can Nicaragua say If a proclamation Is
levelled at her products and not against
the coffee of Peru; and what will tho
Argentines say IL their hides are taxed
while the hides of Chilli or Ecuador
escape?
The political enmity now existing be-
tween France and Italy and which has
caused the latter to join the dreibund
between herself. Austria and Germany,
has grown largely out Of reciprocity
treaty. Spain and France are quarrel
ing over similar question.
Mr.. Foster said recently in speech
in New York that no nation could make
reciprocity treaties that had not pro-
tective tariff. He ought to have said
that no nation except one that has a
protective tariff has need Of such treat
les. II he had said this he could have
proven the truth of HIS remark by point
ing to the difference between the trade
OF uroat Britain and of the u United states
with the very countries we are seek
ing to capture. The United Kingdom
buys from Latin America eighty
nine millions. She sells there one
hundred and seventy millions, export
ing two for one without making a
threat or paying dollar of bounty.
We buy from the same countries two
hundred and seven millions and sell
them ninety millions-more than two to
one against us-and then when we enter
the field to buy and threaten our way
into these markets from which we have
excluded ourselves by our own laws, we
boast that no nation can tax its own
people to pay bounties to foreign ma
tions except one that has such laws as
we have. Certainly not
How different all this is from that
just and fair and profitable reciprocity
with all the world which Jefferson had
in mind when he declared for peace,
commerce and honest friendship with
all nations-entangling alliances with
none"

TARIFFS AND EXPORTS.


The Figures Produced to Show That High
Tarins Decrease Exports.
The advocates of high tariff have
been doing their best to show that our
export trade has not decreased since the
enactment of the Mckinley tariff law.
Their object is, of course, to prove that
a high tariff on imported goods received
in payment for exported goods does not
cut down export. trade. The returns Of
our export trade for the seven months
ended with January 81 last, as compared
with the same months last year, is
complete proof that high tariffs do de-
crease exports. Our exports have been

One of the most remarkable guesses
on record was made by Dean.Swift, who,
century before the moons of Mars
were discovered, made Gulliver say of
the astronomers Of Laputa, "They have
found two satellites which revolve
about Mars, whereof the innermost is
distant from the planet exactly three di-
ameters of the planet, the former re-
wolves in the space Of 10 hours and the
latter in S11l hours In fact the inner
moon is 10000 miles from Mars, where
as-the diameter Of the planet being
1900 miles-Gulliver' estimate would
place it at Il, 900 miles.
For the outer moon he gives 10000
miles for the distance, which is really
$4,000 miles. The time of revolution for
the inner moon is actually ~ hours and
for the outer one 80 hours. Professor
Hall has named the moons Deimos and
Phobes, after the attendants OF the god
Mars, who are mentioned in Homer's

and does not interfere with the view of
the man at the wheel aft. For entering
port or in the crowded rivers that con-
meet the great lakes the vessel can be
steered from the top of this windlass
house in the bow by an arrangement Of
steam steering gear. This is most
valuable improvement.
The upper works aft consist of Q
square steel house, which incloses coal
bunkers and boiler room, besides storage
and dining room and firemen's and deck
hands quarters. Above these are the
pilot house and cabin.
The advantages of the Monitor type
over the ordinary lake barge are saving
of 10 per cent. in cost and the ability to
carry per cent. more cargo on the
same draft owing to the dispensing
with the main deck and the weight in
the ends represented by the sheer. While
this is smaller margin than is claimed
for the whaleback, it is compensated
for by the solder construction. Besides
the upper works the system of framing
is stronger for the same amount Of ma
terial, and the sides and ends are sup
ported by partial bulkheads sixteen feet
apart, while the line of the sides is nat
urally stronger than that of the whale

HOW They We're married.

The wife of popular preacher says
that fine looking young farmer. rough
ly dressed, with an OK whip in his hand,
knocked at the door and was shown into

He took down his whip, flung it over
his shoulder and went out of the door
and down the street. The minister and
his wife laughed, but the wife went
often to the window and peeped out to
see whether the expectant couple were

| A Traveller is Reminded of the Evening
Before the Great Discovery.
Especial Correspondence
BOSTON, Aug. '4.-The writer recently
passed through that part of the Bahama
sea where the caravels of Columbus mus
have been on the evening before the day
of the great discovery.
The cry of the land birds. recalling
those that like winged prophets first
sung to Columbus of the Antilles Of
the pines and palms, the flying fish
like white throated birds, the shadowy
dolphins in the coral caverns of the
green sea, and the flaming western sky
against whose crimson fires cloud
looks like the raised hand of the tabled
Karkan that the crews Of the resolute
Genoese so much dreaded, all serve tt
kindle the imagination in this tropical
region-the paradise of waters.
''What were the crews OF Columbus
doing on this evening in the very shadow
of the great event?' asked a traveller as
the steamer glided, as it were, into the
glimmering darkness of the twilight
and lighthouse famed afar.
Singing" said a well read tourist.
'What evidence have you of that7'
queYied commercial traveller. whose
mind demanded proof in all situations
of poetic coloring.
columbus says" said the tourist
'.that the crews sang the vesper hymn
on every evening of the outward voyage,
so we may safely picture them as SO oc-
cupied on this eventful evening""
Scan you repeat the words?'
''No. The popular translation begins
Gentle Star of Ocean,
Portal Of the Sky,
ssand ends
s'Still as on we journey
Help our weak endeavor,
Till with Thee and Jesus
We rejoice forever.
snow to God eternal,
One and mighty Three,
Father, Son and Spirit,
Equal glory be. Amen"
But this is not the exact ssSalve Re-
gina" of Columbus. It is only very
free rendering of it, like the Italian girls
hymn to the Virgin, by Mrs. Hemans.
1t has one curious stanza, which is asort
of puzzle:
Now by Gabriel's Ave,
Uttered unto thee,
Eva's name reversing,
Our protector be-
So we have somewhat clear picture
of the night before the discovery on
the caravels of Columbus. The serene
twilight, the procession of the early
stars, the hymn chant, the signal gun
and the watch-a scene worthy Of the
poet or painter; a thrilling suspense in
the silence of the most eventful hours
of human history.
