OFF THE PITCH.
A Republican Keynote That Is Decid-
edly "QuaveTish."

edly "Quaverish."
Senator Carlisle's answer to Mr.. Aid
rich has stirred up the Republican
brethren nightly, and they are not so
content as they professed themselves to
let the Rhode Island senator's speech go
out as the "keynote Of the campaign"
In fact, they now find that keynote to
be decidedly off the proper pitch, and
are trying in various ways to sound it so
that it will be free from suspicious
quavers and crackings. Senator Sher-
man reverted to the ancient melody in
praise Of dear goods, and said that Mr..
Carlisle's demonstration that the McKin-
ley bill had increased the cost of living
had no terrors for him, inasmuch as he
was far from sure that cheapness was
desirable.
Our own senator tried his mouth at
the keynote and took the position that
since a large part of the increase of the
cost in living was due to enhanced prices
for agricultural products, the Mckinley
bill could not be held chargeable for
that advance, because "the prices of
agricultural products are not really af-
fected by the tariff legislation of $780,"
This is rather hard on Senator AID
rich, Uncle Jerry and The Tribune, and
their assertions that Mckinley had put
millions Of dollars into the pockets of
the farmers. 1t is hardest of all on the
New York senator, who two years ago
developed such consuming interest in
the farming population, and so emphat-
ically said that the Mckinley bill was
solely for their benefit, that he was at
once dubbed "Farmer" Hiscock. Alto
gether the Republican choir is produc-
ing fearful discord in its efforts to
strike keynote.-New York Evening

PROTECTION IN PRACTICE.
An Incontrove ertibIe Statement Made b!
n Ta4,nicaI MaGazine.

An IncontrovertibIe Statement Made by
Technical Magazine.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
gives an exceedingly valuable illustra-
tion of the manner in which a protect
i've tariff raises its benefciaries above
the operations of the natural law of
trade.
The Illustration concerns steel rails,
EhjeR arc now 81 a ton higher than they
wsfS In 1885, although the cost of pro
duction and the tariff tax are less and
the demand isslight. The command of
the market BY reason of the tariff on
rails and the ownership of the Bessemer
patents has enabled the rail makers TO
fix arbitrarily the price of their products.
The American manufacturers make
much of the fact that improved ma
chinery has gteatly increased their out
put, and The Journal estimates that the
cost of produ cling steel rails, when the
manufacturer makes his own pig, can
not exceed $2o a ton. In 1885 steel rails
sold at see a ton, and the cost of Besse-
mer pig alone was $16. At $50 ton
the profits on the annual output of steel
rails is necessarily between $4,000, ,00C
and $12,0OO,oW
That the protective tariff gives this
enormous dividend to the makers, who
instead of increasing wages are trying
to cut them down, is shown by an ex
animation of English prices. In May
1892, English rails sold for $19.A
The duty on this-$18.A A-would make
their price SD. .8S, not counting freigh'
and insurance. It is clear therefore tina
$50 is the ptice at which the Englisl
rails can be Kept out. While the Eng
| lish price has fallen since 1885 from
$23.17 ton I'd 1914, the price of Eng
lish pig has risen from $1,000 ton t.
$12.15.
In other words, the English make
pays $1.49 nore for his pig and get
$S.73 less fol his rails. At the SAM
time, while The price Of American rail
advanced from see to $50 ton, tn
price Of Amaican pig fell from $17 t.
$14 q ton, sdthat the American make
paid 50 less or his pig and got "a NOR
for his produkt. a

10 me.
But as soon as l had returned TO
my old home, and knew that he must
have heard that / was wealthy, the
old demon of distrust took possession
of me. So 1 vacillated miserably
between hope and fear, until the ever
memorable day of the picnic.
1t was a lovely August day; Paul
was spending some weeks IN Rushton,
as the courts we're adjourned and his
law business dull.
1t was just after the merry dinner
was over and l standing q little apart
from the ret, saw him approach my
intimate friend, sweet Matte Gray.
"You look melancholy" saw her
say to him as he approached her;
what is the mstter?"
"Ah, Miss Matte" he answered, as
he flung himself down beside her on
the grass, "Agnes drives me wild.
Sometimes she is seemingly so glad TO
see me that l am almost ready to avow
my love; then, again, she treats me
so cody that am in despair"
l crouched lower in the shadow,
and-shall l confess it?-watched
them eagerly, breathlessly.
"She is haunted with fear that
because she is deaf that no one will
really love her," said Matte.
'1s that it? But l think she is the
most fascinating woman l ever saw. "
"She is very lovely; but she is very
rich, you know, and 1t is her horror
to be wooded for that only"
Paul flushed crimson.
"She could not suspect me of that.
l am not as rich as she, but l have
enough to place me above such sus,
picion,"
There was moment OF confusion
which l could not understand, and
then Paul was at my side.
ut is laundering" he said; cit is
going to rain. Quickl We must hurry
to some shelter"
But even as he spoke the fury
broke forth, lightning flashed almost
continuously and the thunder, swelling
up from hoarse roar, burst forth in
one terrific crash that seemed to tear
the heavens open and reverate along
the frightened earth.
At a moment my senses failedme,
l knew nothing more until slowly
came to myself in what seemed pure
darkness. Strong arms were around
me, warm breath famed my cheek,
and I heard-yes, heard-a low voice
uttering sweet words of love.
"Agnes, my darling! my pretty one
my love" and then an audacious kiss
was pressed upon my lips.
At this reused myself.
"Where am I?' l asked feebly.
"Under some thick pine that will
keep the rain off for a while,' ans.
werered Paul, in what seemed to be
a fearful loud voice. "You fainte
and I brought you here. as the storm
seems abatlng."
Don't speak quite so loud" said
"And how can you think the storm
is abating when the rain is making
such a noise?'
"Why, it's only faint dip now,'
he answered, astonished. "Can yor
hear it2'
"Yes," answered, in an ecstacy o:
delight. II can hear the branches
sway, and the wind rustic through
them, and the rain fall. Oh! Paul
can hear anything!'
"Then, herhaps, you can hear M

which feature of the design, together with
the long, sloping roof and pretty dormer
window, broad veranda and neat octagon
bay window on the side, leaves little to be
desired as regards the exterior appearance.
From every point of view it looks we'll and
would make home of which any one
might be proud. The lowest cost Of the
building would not be less than $4,000 or
$1,000, and could easily be made to cost
much more by using elaborate and expen-
sive finish inside. The main rooms are

Ingenious, but Not Convincing.

hold that because the Lodge scheme has

as a present issue. This is ingenious,

REPUBLICAN IGNORANCE.

A Touch of Comic Journalism from Par
tisan Papers.
An afternoon organ of Republicanism
quotes the statement of a Democratic
newspaper that "the French are leaving
Canada and coming to US because they
can earn better living here" and calls
it "a frank confession" "What a re-
buke," it exclaims, ''to the free trade
advocates to find thousands of emigrants
rushing from the domain of free trade
England in search of a better living in
the land of protection"
AS touch of comic journalism the
suggestion that in leaving protectionist
Canada the French Canadians are run
ming away from "free trade" is only
equaled by the calm assumption that all
the advantages of climate, soil, inter-
state free trade and business opportu-
nifty which this country offers are the
fruits of the two-year- old Mckinley law.
