While the free trade papers jubilate
over the restorations voluntarily made
in the wage schedules OF some fac
tories, they invariably forget to state
that such increase does not make the
rate of pay now received by the wage
earners equivalent to their earnings
in 1892. Another point to which they
fail to refer is that, where wages have
been advanced, it is very often the
case that such an advance was made
to far fewer people than were EN-.
ployed in 1892. A firm may then
have been employing 500 hands, and
even if the same ratio of wages should
now be paid it is often the case that
only $50 hands are employed. What
then has become of the other 1901
Has some other industry made such
marked progress under tariff reform
as to be able to absorb these oilers?
If so. why have not the free trade
editors recorded the fact? It is most
likely that the $50 have either left the
country or are tramping around still
looking for that job which they had
before they voted for President Cleve-
land and tariff reform.

When daylight's lingering traces fade
And song birds seek the nest
When shadows fall DER hill and plain,
And stars in heaven glow,
We live in memory once again
The days of long ago.
And friends OF days forever oer
Around US closely stand,
We feel the kindly grasp once moro
OF many "vanished hand;"
And though fond, loyal, brave and true
May be the friends we know,
No friends can match the friends we knew
And loved long, long ago.
Though smiling fortune on US shower
Her gifts with right good will
Though every passing day and hour
Be filled with sunshine still
Though joys and pleasures deep abound
Upon the way we go,
We sigh and dream DER joys we found
In days of long ago.
And though we form new friends, new ties
New joys. new pleasures try.
And though new hopes like phantoms rise
AS in the days gone by.

Our tears unbidden flow;
We love, we hope, we plan and grieve

"JAPAN AS A MARKET FOR U.s."

The New York Herald of recent date
had q two-column illustrated article
with the above hoading. Out of the
entire foity-one inches of space occu-
pied, exactly two inches, less than five
per cent. of the whole, is devoted to
the subject of "Japan as Market for
U.s." We quote this portion of the
article as follows:
Throughout the dinner the con-
versation turned mainly upon the de-
sire of Japanese merchants and bust
ness men to not only increase the
traffic between Japan and the United
States, but to make, if possible, Japan
better customer of the United States.
All present admitted that our country
was not only the best friend senti-
mentally that Japan had, but the best
friend commercially. Every gentle
man who could speak English con-
veyed to me personally his apprecia-
tion of the just and fair course of the
Herald toward Japan, and the advan-
tage it was to have in the United
States a journal so influential to ad
vocate Japan's interests. Some Of
them expressed the hope that the Her
aid would advocate policy that
would enable our manufacturers to
place their goods in Japanese markets
in competition with the manufactures
of Europe, and which would open up
our cotton field especially to the
Japanese manufacturers.
The foregoing impression of Colonel
CockerilPs, it would appear, was ar
rivej at after dinner when he had
been the recipient of banquet ac-
corded him by some Japanese ladies
and gentlemen. Before the dinner the
gallant Colonel was presented with o
souvenir which he describes as "rare
beauty" We should mention that the
''rare beauty" was not Japanese
maiden, as some of the Colonels
friends might perhaps imagine.
We await with interest, in subse
quent letter, the details and particu.
lars that will show how the Policy oil
Idiocy advocated by the Herald
"would enable our manufacturers tc
place their goods in the Japanese
markets" Let us have something
more than two inches of balderdash,
so that the next article may be worthy
of its caption.

Says the New York Times: It would
probably puzzle most people to tell,
off hand, in what shape the Arctic
regions have supplied even quarter
of "the products worth 81, 200, 00O,-
900" which General Greedy told the
geographers assembled in London had
come out of the frozen North during
the past two centuries. and upon which
he based his appeal for vigorous
continuance of Arctic exploration.
Voyages in that direction are usually
regarded as leading to frightful
tragedies, rather than to any practical
benefit for mankind. These tragedies,
indeed, have developed and served to
display heroism never surpassed and
perhaps never equaled in other parts
of the world, but that cannot be
measured in money, valuable pos
session as it is, and, Of course, does
not count in the twelve hundred
millions. First among the things that
do, no doubt, are the whales, vast
numbers of which have been captured
in the icy seas since the hardy ex-
plorers proved that those waters were
not impossible; other Arctic products
are fossil ivory, the mineral cryolite,
rich in aluminium; the furs of seals,
bears, foxes and few other animals;
