IN Europe as we'll az American cities, tho
authors and promoters of ii will be en-
Titled to the highest praise.
We have had in our history several OK
petiments Of tho contraated effects of n
revenue and a protective tariff. bnt this
generation has not felt them. and the ex-
perience OF one generation is not highly
instructive to the next. Tho friends Of
the protective system, with undiminished
confidence in tho principles they have nd
vocated, will wait the results of the new
experiment. The strained and too often
dlaturbed relations existing between the
employees and employers in our great manu-
featuring establishments have not been
favorable TO a calm consideration by the
wage earners of the effect upon wages Of
the protective system. The facts that his
wages were the highest paid in like call
ing IL the world and that q maintenance of
tins ratio of wages in the absence OF pro-
tective duties upon the product OF HIS labor
WAS impossible, we're obscured by the
passion evoked by these contests. lie may
now be able TO review the question in the
HRAt oI Ills personal experience Hn0ef tne
operation of tariff for revenue only. Ii
that experience shall demonstrate that the
present rates of wages are thereby main
tanned or assured. either absolutely or in
their purchasing power, and that the aggre-
gate volume of work to be done in this
country is increased er even maintained,
that there are more or as many days work
in year at AZ good or better wages as the
American workman, as has been the case
under the protective system, every one will
rejoice. A gene al process of wage rsduc-
| tion cannot be contemplated by any patri-
] otto citizen without grave apprehension. II
may be. indeed / believe it is, possible for
the American manufacturer to compete suo-
cessfully with his foreign rival in many
branches of production without the defense
of protective duties. If the pay rolls are
equalized, but the conflict that stands be-
tween the producer and that result and the
distress of our workipRmen. when it ia
attained, are not pleasant to contemplate.
The society of the unemployed, now holding
! its frequent and threatening parades in the
| streets of foreign cities, would not be al
lowed to acquire an American domicile.

RAILWAY NOTES.
The Santa Fe Line Between Kansas City
and St. Louis to be Completed.

CHICAGO. Jan. % The Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe Railway company has
determined to push the work on its line
between Kansas City and ST. Louis. This
road was commenced before the Atchison
became involved in financial difficulties,
and is known as the st. Louis, Kansas
Citv and Colorado The road is completed
from ST. Louis to Union, a distance of
fifty-nine and one half miles When COM
pleted, the road Will be 262 miles long, or
fifteen miles shorter than the Wabash,
which is the short line between st. Louis
and Kansas City. The finishing of the
work viii nearly complete the AtchisOn
system at its eastern end.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29-Preparations are
being made by the Illinois Central rail
road for an event which the officials think
is fraught with important results not
only TO the road but with very largely in
creased prosperity to the northwestern
section of the United States. 1t is an eX-
cursion of millers to Havana, Cuba, for
the purpose Of opening up trade in flour
between Minneapolis and other points in
the northwest and Cuba. The duty on
-four going into Cuba up to Jan. /, when
lne leclDIOCiJY JIcdbN "GIlb 1uJO clieCb, was
S. So per hundred pounds Such duty
was prohibitorY, and the CubanS had TO
import their -four supplies from Spain. BY
the treaty the duty has been reduced from
s. So TO s. per 200 pounds, and it now be-
comes possible for the -four producing dis
tricts of this country to compete for the
trade It has been ascertaned that in
July Of last year the imports of -four at
Havana amounted to 1000 pounds and
the consumption for the whole year
amounts approximately to LOCO, 900 sacks
of 200 pounds each. The larger part OF
tho trade can now. it is believed. be
secured for the northwest, and it is with
the view of capturing it that the excur
sion has been arranged. Should it prove
as successful rs is expected, similar eXcur-
sious will be arranged with the view of
working up trade in other lines of COM
merce The excursionists will number
not less than fifty nor more than 100, and
will start from Minneapolis Feb. %, being
joined enroute by parties at Chica go and

Tho Career of Ln1es Breton

At the recent Seney art sale in New
York city one picture was sold for $i5,-
500 1t was the First Communion, "
the most celebrated of the numerous
well known paintings of Jules Breton,
the great artist. He lost his mother at
an early age, and it was a source of
wonder to him why God should have
taken his devoted mother away. He
began his art work in an attempt to
copy the prints from book which he
had picked up somewhere. He also de-
veloped a very inconvenient fondness
for decorating his room with crude char
coal copies. Finally his genius was
recognized, and David, the great painter
hero, became his master. Thenceforth
his career was rapidly upward.

the organs concerned exhibit a tendency to

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them

dangerous maladies as Bright's disease

and it is very rare that ten years pass
