duction Except luxuries) the like of which
cannot be produced at-home."
Governor Mckinley IN his great debate
in Ohio always insisted that ''it is just as
much part of the Republican protective
policy to take off duties as it is to put
them on--the clear line of distinction be-
ing our capacity or incapacity for pro-
ducing the article needed" In his speech
in congress advocating the new tariff Mr..
Mckinley said: "This is an American bill.
1t is made for the American people and
American interests" The Republican
party believes that protection at home
and reciprocity for such trade as is helpful
and not injurious is our best policy.
In other words we are practical; we
believe IN fair trade, which favors COM
merce that is beneficial. as against free
trade, which permits commerce that is
destructive. Our tariff protects the pro-
Queer and the consumer, and secures all
desirable commerce on preferential terms.

THE TARIFF NOT /. TAX.

The Democratic starting says 1.-THE tariff
Is tax" The Democratic starting re-
peated this as long ago as 1928, and Con-
gresham Roilin G. Mallory said in reply:
VIII mention but ons article more mean
cheese- the DUTY is cents per pound; the
average value in the market not over cents.
II duties on the foreign article are a tax on
tne consumer, he is, in equity and good con-
science entitled to cents for every pound he
eats.
The tariff is a tax when we depend
wholly or chiefly on the foreigner for a
dutiable article. The duty on sugar was a
tax before the Mckinley bill removed it,
the duty on steel rails was tax until our
home production supplied the demand or
compelled the foreigner to pay the duty to
sell in our market.

THE VALUE OF RECIPROCITY.

In 1890. during the five months ending
December 81, the exports of the United
etates to Porto Rico amounted in value to
s6ss. AIS.
In 1891. under Republican reciprocity,
our exports to that country amounted in

q per cent.

December 81, the exports of the United
States to Cuba amounted IN value TO

In 1901. under Republican reciprocity,
during the corresponding period, our ex-
norts 10 that country amounted in value to
e. o6s 90. an increase of S9,247, 1913, or AZ
per cent. ,.
september 1, the exports OF bacon from the

In 1889 Mr.. Wrestling removed with his
family to this city and has since made 1t his
home. He is still engaged in the practice Of
law. Mr.. wiestli ug is q member OF the Grand
Army of the Republic and for years belonged to
Harrisburg post When he came to Seattle
he transferred his membership to Stew
ems post He is also q Mason and at
tanned considerable prominence among the
craft in Pennsylvania, and is now member OF
St. Johns lodge. His extensive practice in the
law, his high social standing, and his unblem-
ished life will combine to make him a sound
and reliable adviser in legislation for the citys
welfare.

now THE MONEY WAS SPENT.

The taxpayers of Seattle need not de-
pend upon the statements of speakers of
either party for informatian as to the
expenditure of the city for current needs
of the past year. They will be found in
the printed report of the city comptroller,
which can be had on application. He
has faithfully stated the facts, but he
attempts no explanation, that being no
part of his business.
1t needs but the application of ordinary
intelligence, and a comparison with the
report for 1890, which can also be had for
the asking, to prove that the city's ex-
penses for the past year, in departments
where they have not been actually re-
duced, are for legitimate and wise improve
ments.
Among these may be noted the cost of
lighting. In 1890 it was $lS, 1900; for
1891 it was $50, 1850. The only man en-
titled to complain of this additional cost
is he who is willing to give up the light
nearest his home.
Another item of additional cost is S17,-
660. 80 for the library. This excellent insti-

sustained entirely by percentage of fines,
licenses and fees, its cost is confined
within reasonable limits.
The park fund is also sustained by a
similar percentage, and is an item of ex-
pense not hitherto included in city dis
bursements. The city is charged with
$13, 523 80 on this account because the law
requires its proportion of revenue to be
paid out of the general receipts, but it has
an actual surplus of $12, 1906.
The public health fund has also in
creased its expenses. the total being S10,-
1887, but of this 81, 26i. II was paid out for
the cure of the sick at hospitale, $607 for
drugs, $3.50 for burial of the poor and So, 6SS
for removal of garbage.
Almost every item of expense is given
in the report, and it will be seen how very
much was spent for original cost, which it
will not be necessary to incur again and
how comparatively little was for articles
which might, perhaps, have been dis
pensed with.
The efforts of the city council in 1891
bore good results, and in every branch of
the city government there is very large
decrease in expenses since the beginning
of the year.

One of the coolest burglars who has been pub
licly interviewed for long time was found in
Brooklyn hardware store at O'Clock the other
morning by the clerk who went to open the
store. The clerk was about to give an alarm
when the man said: 'Iook here, my friend, I'm
detective. Thieves broke into this place last
night, and it's very evident that something was
stolen. Run around to Mr. Bannerman's house
and tell him to come here at once. want to
find out what has been taken before make my
report" The clerk did as requested, and when
he returned with the proprietor the burglar was,
of course, gone.

An inexplicable habit in church .at Valsbol
has at last been explained. When the men went
to tho altar to receive the sacrament and then
returned to the body of the church each made
genuflection in the direction of the women,
always on the same spot. No one for a long
while had known why this was done. Lately
one of the wells of the church was being cleaned
and picture of the Virgin was discovered,
which had been covered up for 400 years by the
whitewash. The genufections originally made
to this picture had been continued by the force
of habit for centuries after it had disappeared.

Some great hunting was done in the closing
days OF the late hunting season in Maine. A
party of Boston sportsmen, with A. B. Douglass,
of Eustis, as guide, chased a 1O-year-old moose
for eighteen days, when one OF the party shot
him. The animal weighed about 700 pounds
and carried splendid antlers. Two monster bull
moose were brought into Sebec station few
days after Christmas, having been killed near
Nahmakanta lake by Benjamin Woodward and
Horace Dore, of Atkinson. One OF the heads,
with antlers, weighed s915 pounds, the other
s71S pounds, and the larger antlers had spread

MARRIED LIFE,

Two flowers blossom on one stem,
Two streamlets miugling run;
And love and habit blending make
Two lives IS truly one.
One in each interest, hope and fear,
Whatever chance betide:
One in affections bond, though two
To comfort, strengthen, guide
When passions torrid zone is past,
Hearts only draw more near;
And silent sympsihies of love
Strike deeper year by year.
, When every little fault Is seen,
And every fleeing mood,
And all the no5ler impulses
Are shared and understood.
Yet still one secret, separate dread
VIII sometimes cloud each mind:
Ali which must face this cruel world
When left alone behind?

The Republicans OF the Sixth ward have
chosen as their candidate for alderman q citizen
who most worthily represents all that is desir-
able in a community. He has been resident Of
Seattle for seventeen years, has been promi-
nently identified with tho eity's advancement,
and although still working at his trade, is one of
the largest taxpayers in Seattle. For thirteen
years he was at the head of the public schools,
beginning with a corps of five teachers and re-
naming till It had increased to twenty nine.
He was one Of the charter members of Company
L, of the First regiment, of which he is now
captain, after having served as private, corporal
sergeant and lieutenant He has been county
superintendent of schools and a member OF
the state board OF education. 1t would
be next to impossible to find man better
adapted by experience, by integrity and by SYM
pathy with the citys interests, to represent
them in the city council than L. s. Ingraham.
Mr.. Ingraham is q native of Albion, Kennebec
county, Maine, He helped by his work on the
Rocklsnd Free Press to secure admission TO the
Eastern Maine Normal school, whence he gradu-
atcd. Mr.. Ingraham came TO Seattle August 26,
$50 Ten days later he took charge OF the city
schools. He is at present member OF the board
OF aldermen, having been elected about year
age TO NIL the vacancy caused by the resignation
OF F. W. VALID. His residence in the locality
from which he is u candidate dates back thirteen
years On account OF the prominence OF M.
Ingraham as an educator Governor Ferry ap-
pointed him member of the state board OF eiu-
cation upon the admission of Washington.
While n member OF that board he won honor
able distinction in successfully thwarting the
"book trust" in their attempt to secure
monopoly of the sale of textbooks to the child
rem OF the eta 20 period of i've years. In
that connection he was instrumental in expos
ing the nefarious part taken by NJ. C. Sullivan
in his alleged attempt to bride one of the mem
bers OF the board by giving him check for
$500 TO secure his vote. Mr.. Ingrsham was
made the custodian of that famous check by
the board and kept it in the Sale Deposit vaults
of this city until It was offered in evidence
before the grand jury of Thurston county against
the would-be bribers.
