The Rochester IN. " Jewish Tidings
says The utter destruction of American
fur.Dearing animals is regarded as Il
question Of only a few years. 1t is
claimed that 100000 trappers are en-.
gagged in the industry, and that their
mode of acquiring the furs is destined to
WIPE our, before many years, the many
varieties of these animals. Their cap.
ture is accomplished by traps which are
decimating the animals much the same
as nets are destroying the fish. Some
idea of the extent of this industry may
be gained from the export trade, which
TO England alone, during the last year,
amounted to over 5000, 900 skins, com.
prising some 1896, 900 muskrats, 55i,
900 skunks, $40, 900 raccoons, 125, 700
fur seals, 1900 bears, 1000 beavers
and 1900 others.

Once moro come Democratic voices
arc heard earnestly pleading for "inci'
dental protection" every man OF them
waiting tho Incident made liberal in
his own case.
Incidental protection is a rank deIu'
sion. There can be no system OF pro-
lection built OF any such basis Any
attempt to do it is certain to result in
unfairness, general disappointment aud
general loss to the country.
In any scheme OF Incidental protect
ion revenue ia the object. Where reve'
nue. is the object any protection that re-
,ults happens in the caIeh,as,catch,can
way. Where tho scheme Of revenue
tariff is fairly made up, any protection
that follows is more accidental than in
cidcntai aAd cannot 10 just 10 all inter
ests, because it benefits butiew Interests.
Incidental protection resulting from
honestly conceived tariCI-ior-revenue-
only schedules is a lottery, in which the
prizes are few. II there is to be protec'
lien at all, it should be systematic and
general, creating and defending home
industries. This is what protective
tariff does, and it is logical and right. A
toriG.tor.revenuO-only is logical and
wrong. A taritT:for.revenuo with Incl
dental protection is Illogical aud hum
