cans.
Great cities, among us, are typical of
the Republic as whole, but the citi-
zens of our great cities have their
nationality brushed off at their elbows.
In the country there are still purely
American comm unities, whose fathers
and granllfathers were American be-
fore them. Moreover, in the country
the foreigner becomes more quickly
Americanized. In New York he hardly
pays us the compliment of learning
our language.
And it is not strange that the few
foreigners who have either the wit or
the good fortune to penetrate into what
they call the provinces" are our
kindest judges; for they have seen the
American at his best. They have
touched both the picturesque and the
gentle side of our national character.
1t is not in the great cities but in the
little cities and the villages that one
sees the class that Emerson loved, the
plain livers and high thinkers, or an
other class, not SO plain in its living,
not so high in its thinking in one way
but practical followers of ighteouness
and exceedingly pleasant people to
meet. Many of them have what counted
for wealth in simple. generation; all
of them have education and generous
habit of mind. They love their coun-

HOW 1T WILL WORK.
Canadian Farmers viii Profit by the
Wilson Bill,

The Wilson bill opens our market 10
the producers of Canada and gives
them an equal share in all our trade.
They pay no taxes in the United States,
they live cheaper, pay lower wages and
can usually sell fol the same price or
even less and make monry.
Hitherto they, under the Mckinley
bill, have made up what they did not
pay in taxes on farms and plants in
the United States by protective tariff
at the border. We saw that our own
farmers, our own workmen and our
own manufacturers were given fair
show; that those who built up our
towns, increased our industries, cleared
our lands, built our schoohouses and
churches and maintained them-that
these were not subjected to ruinous
competition; that what they expended
In the material development of the
country was held for them. We all
nave to pay taxes and all have to do
our due share toward helping to main
tain law and order. Those who do
these things should not be made to
suffer for the benefit of this stranger.
Tor him whose capital, plant, farm and
INDUSTRY are in a foreign country and
who is not and can not be factor of
our own national wealth. The Cana
dian manufacturer, farmer or me-
chanic had to pay at the border a tax
equivalent, so far as could be computed,
to the full cost of the privileges our
market offered him.
1t is very much like a city which
builds sidewalks, grades streets, puts
i'll waterworks, fire systems, builds and
maintains schools, erects churches and
does all those things which make life
pleasant and agreeable. Of course
these things cost money, and to meet
these expenses taxes are laid on land,
houses, mercantile establishments, etc.
What would we think of the political
economy which would allow peddlers
to go from house to house and sell
every article of household need and
luxury without let, hindrance, tax or
llcense2 They would drive over streets
paved by the money of their competi-
tors free of any tax. They would return
nothing to the municipality which
allowed them to ply their avocation.
They would not be residents, but carr v
away to another place the money they
received for their goods. They might
not even eat a meal or spend the cost
OF nights lodging there. Surely
this would not be justice. Certainly
no town could thrive which did not. In
fair measure, protect her own taxpay.
ers. Nor can it be argued that these
peddlers should go free of tax or
license to prevent robbery or extortion
by the local merchants. That, as an
argument, is used by Democrats, but
when analysed its absurdity is shown
at glance. Competition never fails
to bring down prices-there are mer-
chants enough and more are ever
ready to come where purchasers ar
to be found, so as to make reason alb Ia
price to consumers.

DOUBLING THE GUARDS
AT the United States Treasury Build
ing.

ing.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The treasury
officials, while disclaiming any fears of
trouble on account of the presence of
the crowds incident to the coming of
Coxey's army have taken the precau-
ton of adding fifty five carbines and
twenty revolvers to the treasury's sup
ply of arms.
The normal strength of the watch
force of the treasury is seventy men di-
vided into two relieis, and in addition
to two or three dozen revolvers, there
has always been thirty five carbines in
the racks in the Office of the captain of
the watch, sufficient to supply one to
each watchman on duty. 1t has been
thought best, however, to increase the
supply in view of the hangers on of
Coxey army that are expected to ar
rive In the city during the coming
week. e
The Captain of the Treasury guard"
local military organization composed
entirely of clerks in the treasury de-
partment, today informed the captain
of The watch force that in case of
trouble at any hour of the day OF
night, he could have every man in his
command at the treasury building in
side of forty five minutes. II stated
that his men were we'll drilled in the
use of arms, and hence could do much
more effective work than civilians. He
asked TO be notified if there was at any
time any apprehension of trouble.

The Duel.

The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat: :
Twas half past twelve, and what do
you think !?
Neither of them had slept wink!
And the old Dutch clock and Chinese
Seemed to know as sure as fate
There was going to be an awful spat.
I wasn't there-I simply state
What was told me by the Chinese
plate.
The gingham dog went bow -wow-wow
And the calico cat replied meow!
And the air was streaked for an hour
With fragments of gingham and calico.
While the old Dutch clock in the
chimney place
Up with its hands before its face,
For it always dreaded family row.
Now mind, I'm simply telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares
is true.
The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And waited ooh, dear! What shall
we dol"
But the gingha N dog and calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
And utilized every tooth and claw
In the awfulest way you ever saw
And oh! how the gingham and calico
flew
Don't think that exaggerate-
Igotm my news from the Chinese plate
Next morning where the two had sat
They found no trace of the dog or cat
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away;
But the truth about that cat and pup
Is that they ate each other up
Now, what do you really think of thatp
The old Dutch clock it told me so,
And that is how l came to know.l

LITERARY. NOTES.

Scribner's Magazine for May opens
with an article of unusual Importance,
entitled Some Episodes of Mountain
eerlng," by Edwin Lord Weeks, de-
scribing some of his own stirring ad-
ventures, while mountain climbing in
the Alps with illustrations furnished
by the same hand. The author and
artist is equally skilful as a picturesque
writer and as an artist of rare ability,
ooth IN landscape and figure work.
lie has in this article given reality to
Alpine mountain climbing that no
previous popular article has given.
Some of these marvellous illustrations
show daring feats, made from sketches
on the spot when the artist himselfwas
i'll most difficult position, and show
ing the pose and action of those with
him while actually accomplishing a
difficult bit of climbing.
Captain John G. Bourke, U. s. A..

stationed in Texas, has written the
story of one of the most romantic re-
glons in our countryside Mexican

the title, "The American Congo, nhe
tells of the strange types of people, the
raiders and marauders, the unique life
on the ranches, and at the same time
reprodnces the background and atmos
phere of the place. The illustrations
are from drawings recently made in
that region by Gilbert Gaul, who made
the trip expressly for Scribner's Maga-
zine.

A Typical Rancho on the Rio Gtande.

A Typical Rancho on the Rio Gtande.
The Mexican rancho, from Laredo
clear down to the Gulf, adheres strictly
to the one model, to describe one is to
describe all, the differences being
principally those of size and popula
tion.
There is always plaza" or "pla-
ceta" in the centre; if the rancho be
unusually large, there may be two or
even three such little squares, which
serve all purposes of business, recre-
alton, or when necessary, religious
function. From these radiate the
streets, unpaved and dusty, sometimes
shaded by the overhanging branches of
trees, but oftener left to the full glare
of sun and force of wind.
The two or three petty stores, or
"tendajos, are fond of displaying
sonorous names quite as high toned
as the prices charged; these may be
buildings of stone, but the other struc-
lures are mainly of the class called in
this section of Texas "tecaruchos" or
''jacales.
To make "jacal" the owner inserts
bali a dozen stout poles OF mesquite or
ebony or huisachi at the proposed
corners, and then fills in with wattle-
