What q Coin Did.

A coin Is in itself a history. There
was once a lost city which owes its
place to coin. For over q thousand
years no one knew where Pandosia
was. History told us that at Pandosia
King Pyrrhus collected those forces
with which he overran Italy, and that
he established mint there; but no
one could put their finger on Pandosia
Eight years ago a coin came under the
sharp eyes of numismatist. There
were the letters Pandosia inscribed on
1t. but, what was better, there was an
emblem. indicative OF a well-known
river, the Crathis. Then everything
was revealed with the same certainty
as If the piece Of money had been an
atlas, and Pandosia. the mythical city,
was at once given its proper position
In Brslttium. Now, coin may be val
liable for artistic merit but when it
elucidates doubtful point in history
or geography its worth is much en-

not weigh more than shilling, 10

PandOsfa, was worth to the British

But few years will elapse before Jap

This is undoubtedly England's adj

istence, without comfort. without re-
finement and without regard to it's fu-
ture condition.
The total American consumption of
our own manufactured goods. of our
farm products and the foreign goods
which we imported i'm 1890 reached
nearly twelve billions of dollars. The
total foreign imports of all other coun-
tries in the world. representing those
foreign markets. aggregate little more
than seven and half billions Of dol
lars. Our own home market is worth
to us nearly four and half billions of
dollars year more than the foreign
trade of all other markets of the world,
even If we could hope to secure the
whole Of it. The policy of free trade is
to throw our greater and better mar
ket open to cheap labor competition and
to pauperize our wage-earners. The
policy of protection is to prevent this.

Goodwill counts for very little by
itself in a sick-room. OF all persons
in the world. a nurse must know how
to 60 ahead and do what needs to be
done, without questions and without
fuss. Mrs. Swisshelm had new ap-
probation of this truth when she
came to need nurse for herself after
wearing herself out in nursing
wounded soldiers.
When l lay ill, friend told me of
an excellent woman who had come
from afar, and rendered her services
to the government. She had exerted
much influence and spent much effort
to get into hospital as nurse, but
had failed.
Hearing of my illness, her desire to
be useful led her to tender her ser
vices. Her generous offer was ac-
cepted, and / was left for an after
noon in her care.
l wanted cup Of tea. She went
to the kitchen to make it, and one
hour after came up with cup of tea,
only this and nothing more, save a
saucer. To taste the tea must have
a spoon, and to get one she must 60
along a hall, down long flight OF
stairs, through another hall and the
kitchen, to the pantry.
When she had made the trip the
tea was so much too strong that a
spoonful would have made cup. She
went down again for hot water, and
after she had got to the kitchen re-
membered that she had thrown the
water away, thinking it would not be
wanted.
The fire had gone out. and the
woman came up to inquire if she
should make a new one, and If SO,
where she should find kindling.
She had spent almost two hours in
running to and fro, was all in a per.
spiration and a fluster, had done me q
great deal of harm and no one an,
good, had wasted all the kindlings
for the evening fire, had used tea
enough to serve large family for a
meal, and had fairly illustrated d
large part OF the hospital service rem
dered by women oppressed with The
nursing mission.

At the funeral the next day few no.

ton to American industries should be
determined by the cost Of labor in sim
liar industries in other countries. For
instance, If certain work in a certain
factory costs an American manufact-
urer 81 per day. and similar work in
similar factories in Europe can be per
formed for 81 or $1.5O per day. then we
believe the product Of the American
factory should be protected to the ex-
tent of that dollar, which Is the differ
ence between the lowest rate paid
abroad and the rate paid in this coun-
try.
In framing a tariff for protection it
is essential to bear in mind that the
greatest amount of competition will
naturally come from such countries as
pay the lowest rate Of wages. If an
article can be made in England for a
dollar and in Germany for seventy
five cents. the two being of equal quail
ity, the German article will secure the
trade. and the American wage Garner
must be protected against the lower
German rate. The knowledge of what
such rates are should be in the posses
sion Of business men engaged in differ
ent Industries. An American wooden
manufacturer should have reliable and
authoritative data regarding the wages
paid in other countries by those who
are engaged in making similar goods.
1t may be true that the lower wage rate
paid in other countries is, in some
cases, sufficient for the needs of those
people to procure the actual necessa-
ries Of life, but we are not prepared to
ask American labor to work for mere
existence, and we trust that We never
shall be compelled to do so. The great
mass of our people wish for prosperity
to their fellow citizens, that they may
earn not only the actual necessities, but
also something in addition that will
enable them to enjoy some of the COM
forts, and, further, to ga We money for
their old age. A pOOr-hOuse policy Is
out of place in the United States.
In determining the amount of prOtec-
ton necessary to American labor and
American industries other factors enter
into consideration. The interest on the
capital employed is higher here than in
Europe. Cheap ocean freight on the
other side will often enable foreign
goods to be laid down in our ports for
less money than similar American
goods could be delivered there from our
manufacturing towns. When our rail
roads, moreover, give special conces-
sions in freight rates to foreign goods
that are shipped to our interior points
then our manufacturers are still fur
ther handicapped.
There has in the past been cOnsidera.
BILE criticism at what is regarded as the
high percentage of protection under
the Mckinley tariff. In some Instances
1t Is true, the percentage Of protection
was high, and necessarily SO, but the

Rockland, January 24.-Joe Donovan OF
this city today. telegraphed Dick OBrion
of Lewiston his acceptance of the latter's
challenge to fight six rounds for specified
division of the gate receipts. The contest
will take place one week from today In Lew
iston. Donovan is taken at disadvantage
from the fact that O'BrioI is in active
training for the coming fight with Ed. Bin
ney. while the Rockland man is given but
six days in which to train. Donovan and
O'Brion have met several times the last
bout being six round draw. The feeling
in local sporting circles is that one of the
men will go down this time. Donovan will
have considerable backing from this section.
