The daily customs collections of the

This is a directly opposite condition

CATCH AS CATCH CAN.
DEMOCRATS WOULD SCORE a
POINT WITH AN OLD TRICK.
Now COLL Upon Protectionist. to Out
line Some Specific Measure That Will
Be Passed In Place of the German
Bill-what Free Trade Did.
A shrcwd Game.

1t Is a very shrewd game that the
f~ree-traders have been playing since
the November elections in calling upon
protectionist members to outline some
specific bill that will be passed in place
of the German bill. 1t is u sort of
"heads I win tails you lose" game.
Whatever the answer on the part of
prOtectionists, the free-traders hope to
score u point.
If protectionist leaders should he
beguiled into suggesting possible de-
tails, the free-traders would ut once
seize upon these suggested 'possibili-
ties as Il pledge of party action. If. as
would undoubtedly be the case, protec-
ZIONIST leaders should disagree in re-
gard to some of the details, the free
traders would cry out that the party
was disunitcd and the leaders at odds
with n another. If, ON the other
hand, the protectionists should refuse
to enter into details, the free-traders
would be ready with a plausible inter-
probation of such refusal.
For such Interpretation there has
been abundant opportunity. Protec-
ZIONIST leaders have in almost every
case refused to enter upon a question
of details. They have deemed it quite
sufficient to state that, whatever the
details of IL new bill that should he
passed, it should be q bill which should
have for its fundamental principle the
protection of American industries.
But the free-traders have protested
to see, i'll this refusal of pr~otectionists
to give details. n confession ON their
part that they have nothing better than
the German bill to offer. Absurd .,s
such q claim is, since there would be
difficulty in passing n worse bill, 1T is
well, nevertheless, for pr%otectionists
to permit not the slightest chance for
doubt i'll regard to their position. If
the recent elections meant anything,
they meant denunciation of the Cor
man bill and disgust with the whole
free trade administration.
1t is well, then, for protectionists 10
make it very clear that they will have
something better than the German bill
to offer, and that they intend to enact 81
bill which shall protect American in
dustries as soon rs they possibly can.
Let them, too, not cease to emphasize
the fact that the present disaster and
depression are due to the baneful CT
fects of tariff reform. and that they
have no intention of ''letting the coun-
try rest in the midst of such evils, but
that they mean to place it again in the
midst of such prosperity as it enjoyed
under the Mckinley tariff. Let them.
above all, beware of all overtures and
all proposals coming from the free
trade encmy's camp.

The Farmcr,s Bar,ey.

Why do we advocate protection for
the American farmer? Simply that he
may continue to raise and market his
products at a living rate. If lie could
live on what the Russian peasant does
no meat from one weeks end to
another, on the poorest and cheapest
quantity Of food; If he could clotle
himself and his family in the same
cheap way; if he could forget his duty
to educate his children; If lie could
shirlS, without disgrace, his share in
the expenses for a healthy, social life,
for neighborhood libraries and other
improvements, for the church of his
choice; IL he could consent to live in
the kind of q cabin or howell in which
the same Russian wears out his exist
ence; then we might go in for n system
that would bring him into direct COM
petition with Russia. 1t does not mat
ter whether it is called free trade or
Wilson bill or German bill, crowded
the result puts him on a level with the
present conditions of Europe. The
new law, for example, reduces the tar
iff on barley $500 per cent. The effect
will be either to kill off barley raising
or to put our farmers in such a COM
petition with the barley of Russia that
their profit will be gone.-Farm, Field

Necessity of Composure.

One thing that, if not q necessity, Is
at least conducive to comfortable liv.
ing, is hardly appreciated even by those
who most need it. This is the need Of
having some time each day entirely
alone. 1t is impossible to live comfort
ably without composure of mind, and
there is no way of securing it so surely
us to spend a short time each day (and
a long time is ven better) in silence,
and free from Interruptions. It is sooth-
ing to tired nerves, and strengthening
to q tired mind. The person who does
not like to be alone, who does not even
strongly desire to be alone once in q
while, is already on the high road to-
ward ill-health. 1t is the only way to
have relief from the confusion of al
ways being in some ones presence,
which will, sooner or later, either Of
feet the nerves or weaken the mind.
Wherever, or however, you live, then,
see to It that you have at least one hour
out of every twenty-four that you can
call your own. Some busy people may
at first think this is impossible; but we
rarely find anyone who does not waste
more than this every day, and who is
not the worse off for the waste. The
very act of taking this hour strengthens
the will and adds that much to the COM
fort Of living, since q weak-willed per
son is at the mercy of everything and
every person that encroaches upon his
rights; and not the least of these is the
right to live a healthy, comfortable life.

Good for John Bull.

The returns of the British Board Of
Trade for 1894 show that imports into
the United Kingdom increased by S19,-
100000, or nearly 1 per cent. more than
the imports of 1893. The export trade
fell off 1 per cent, OF nearly $1O,OOO,-
600 in amount. The decline in the val
ues of goods, it is thought, will fully
account for the shrinkage in export
values, because the volume of bust
ness vas certainly greater than in 1S03,
chiefly owing to the larger quantity Of
goods shipped to the United States. In
cotton goods the British exports in
creased IA per cent. in quantity and
only 81 per cent. in value.

What Free Trade Did.

The difficulties of managing the

multiplied. We have to share the
market with many foreign
wool sellers who have never before
been competitors with our home mar
ket, and the American wool growers
are competing on such unequal terms
that the industry is shrinking. The
domestic wool men were hit hard by
