Prince g2isEIarckss Opinion

@ The success under protectiOn) Of
the United States in material develop
ment is the most illUstrious of the
modern times The American nation
has not only successfully borne and
suppressed the most gigantic and eX-
pensive war of all history, but imme-
diately afterward disbanded its army,
found work for all its soldiers and ma
rines, paid off most Of its debt, given
labor and homes to all the unemployed
of Europe as fast as they could arrive
within its territory, and has done all
this by a system Of taxation 50 indirect
as not to be perceived, much less felt.
Because it IS my deliberate judgment
that the prosperity Of America is
mainly due to its system Of Protective
laws, | urge that Germany has now
reached that point where it IS necessa-
ry to initiate the Tariff system of the
nited States
1t is fair and pertinent to add says
an exchange, that Germany has fol
lowed this advice in limited degree,
and has found it very profitable and
advantageous t. her people and to her
material interests.

american ship History.
Seaboard, April 10, 1891.

Seaboard, April 10, 1894.
American ships i'll 1889 carried but
23.S per cent. Of our foreign commerce.
The first congress Immediately passed
two acts to benefit our shipping; the
first imposing higher duty on imports
in foreign than American ships; the
other charging foreign ships tonnage
tax over eight times higher than Am
erican ships paid.
This increased our shipping from
i23, S93 10 1920 tons the first year,
our ships carrying fO.5 per cent. Of our
commerce. In 1874 our shipping IN the
foreign trade reached 43S, S63 tons and
it carried So per cent. Of our foreign
commerce.
That year Congress taxed imports in
foreign ships 10 per cent. more than in
American ships, and in 1895 our ship
ping had increased to 52g Al tons and
our ships carried 80 per cent. of our
foreign commerce.
In 1896 American ships carried 92.3
per cent. Of our foreign commerce,
while now we carry IL per cent
This loss is due to the repeal OF those
protective laws and to treaties that
give foreign ships the same rights as
American ships in American ports.
Now is the time to &hrogate those
treaties, IL again charging imports

4 tribute to &. c Merritt.

Last Sunday evening Or. Forbes OF
Cneota addressed the Odd Fellows OF
Duluth at the Temple opera house or
the occasion Of the 10Th anniversary
Of the order His address was Of
course very fine. and in closing he paid
tribute to tie memory Of a former
citizen OF superior, c. c. Merritt, who
died last Saturday ana was buried
Tuesday afternoon. He SAID:
~ man lies dead in tits CITY tonight
who was warm personal friend 81
mine His home was in OneOta.
There is no need to tell you to whom /
refer. rs WAS ct his bedside during
those last DAYS IF hi9 life he told ne OF
Ills plans for church and temperance
work and asked NE to use my every
cndeay0r u carry them out.
The Dr. then described the scene
at the dcath6ed, and continuing ut
tered these words which will find q
ready endorsement IN the hearts oi all
right thinking citizens:
of the death Of that man ! VIII say
and say il without excitement and
upon mature thought and Judgment
that had one Of the m.niOns Of that
New i OTk millionaire met Ca5slus &.
Merritt on the Mesaba range two
years ago and had deliberately shot
him through the heart, it would have
been far more merciful than TO have
caused his death IN the manner in
which it was done. And were 6. {.
Merritt alive TODAY, without dollar
in the world, leaving a little shanty il
the morning with an AK over hi:
shoulder to earn his daily bread by
manual labor, he would be OF more
worth to you and to me, TO society an'
the world than is any man who car
ruthlessly and mercIlessly push an.
scheme which pushes his fellow MAJ
into the grave"

The striking miners have all gone to

there have now quit work III sympathy
with the strikers tying up all of the

and the mines are idle, the men de
handing $3.50 and sl65 instead of

leader of the strikers is Ole EilhoOper

Reports from the ranges in the
region of the Black Hills, Dakota,
are to the effect that stock has
wintered well, and that there is
plenty of good beef there.
There isl point in the lives of
all stock when they will pass their
limit of profit. We cannot set any
arbitrary age at which this point
is reached, but, as a rule, stock
begins to be Improbable as it be-
gins to age. The most successful
stock growers are those who keep
continually turning off young ami
mails and supplying their place
with others still younger, never
permitting any animal to grow old
upon their hands.

With nearly all classes of stocl
margin of profit is small on &C.
count of low prices, and it is very
easy by means of small errors t.
sacrifice all profit. One of these
errors is IN keeping the animal,

A NEGRO PLAYs sPooK.
uIddIepoInt Residents Lay the Ghost which
Has Disturbed Them.

Il turns out that the spook that has
been making lifu a burden for the oiti-
Gems of Middlepoint, O., and the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad
men is a human being, and a colored
person at that The citizens of that place
were determined TO solve the mystery,
and a reward of $50 was offered to any
one who would spend q night at the
water station and capture the ghostly
specter. Failing to find any n who
would undertake the task, they appoint
ed a committee to investigate.
Thursday night the committee which
was composed of three men, two shot
guns, one revolver and a brace Of bull
dogs, started for the water station and
secreted themselves in the pumphouse.
They watched in silence until about IL
o'clock, when a man was seen making
his way across a field to the station. He
e%nsconsed himself behind the water tank
and prepared for his work by placing a
sheet over his head and a football that
had been painted white in his left hand
he had not long to wait for q victim. A
young man was returning from q SPELL
ing match with his best girl, and when
they were within 90 feet of the station
the spook noiselessly made its way to
the railroad ami stationed itself between
the rails. The sight Of che specter was
too much for the young man'snerves and
he made a break across the field, leaving
the young lady to look out for herself.
At this point the committee swooped
down upon the spook and captured it
after a chase of half Apile. The sheet
was removed, and til ook was recog-
nized as George BARLEY, a colored man.
The committee started back to town with
their prisoner, two Of them carrying the
arsenal and the third leading the cap
tured spooL Before reaching town Bart
ley succeeded in breaking away from his
captors and started for tho woods. Sew
eral shots were fired after him. 1t is not
known whether they took effect, as after
reaching the woods he gave his pursuers
the slip. The committee returned to
town and reported their capture. Some
Of tho citizens are in doubt about the
CaPsure, but the story is generally be-
lieved, as the committee have in their
possession a sheet and white football Is
evidence. Lima Special

THINK THIS OVER.

While the financial condition
of this country is so deplorable
and we are denouncing the gold
bugs and money mongers of the
east as responsible for it, we ought
at least to pause long enough in
passing judgment to be sure of
our premises. If it is true that
the millionaires are boarding their
golden wealth and almost demand
ing "the pound of flesh" in ex-
change for 1t, is it not equally true
that the position assumed by some
of the representative men of the
country would seem to warrant
their distrust in the financial
soundness of our monetary condi-
ton. As against the multitude of
cool-headed, practical and honest
people of this commonwealth who
are vigorously pulling against the
stream and striving to correct such
errors in the financial affairs of
this country as will renew prosper
ity aud quicken the dormant in
dustries, we have a few cranks and
hare Drained blatherskites whose
utteiances couuteract every wor-
thy effort that can be made. Gov.
Waite, of Colorado, a populIst
creature who has cast more odium
upon the fair name Of his young
state than all the other blatant ell

at Coliseum Hall, in Denver on
the 23rd inst, said, among other
ridiculous things, that 'the only
way to solve the silver question is
for each state TO coin its own dol
lars of 371 IA grains fine silver"
Another threatening feature in
the financial outlook is based on
the fact that there is now a move
