PROTECTION THAT PROTECTS.
An Adjustment OF strike Differences That
Resulted In an Advance of Wages
BYRON w. Holt.

An Adjustment OF strike Differences That
Resulted In an Advance Of Wages
Another encouragement for the Me-
kinleyites comes out OF Pennsylvania.
where the differences between coal
miners and their employers have been
adjusted upon the basis of an advance
in wages.
Advances in wages under demo-
cratic tariff are never accepta BILE to re-
publicans on the eve of a cam paign in
which it i, proposed to make the re-
opening of the tariff question the
.overshadowing issue" But they are
occurring with degree of regularity
to make the republican outlook any
thing but bright or promising.
This advance, like that recently
made to the employees of the Carnegie
and other iron and steel manufacture.
ing concerns in Pennsylvania. is an adj
vance over the old Mckinley prices
1t is an advance. in other words. over
the price of labor paid under high pro
lection. Settlements of strikes or
such basis were of rare occurrence
under the repu blican tariff law. Their
frequent occurrence under the present
law does not encourage the threat
made by republican leaders that when
their party comes into full control OF
the government it will revise the tnriff
on lines of higher protection Ito Amer
lean labor"
Both American industry and Amer
lean labor are in the enjoyment OF
more and better protection now than
they recei lived under the highest tariff
ever laid in this country. IL we consider
the term protection in its proper mean
ing as fostering and encouragement
of both labor and capital. Republican
politicians succeeded during the years
OF their control of the government in
giving the word Specification which
never properly belonged to it-St
Louis Republic.

Accounting for the Improved Change -

Accounting for the Improved Change -
the Industrial Conditions Upon False
Theories.
The few republicans papers which
have sufficient honesty To admit the
wonderful business revival which has
followed the repeal Of the tradc-ham-
pering Mckinley tariff, are trying to
account for the change in industrial
conditions by saying that the Wilson
tariff furnishes some protection. Al
the same time they claim that every
failure in business is due to the free
trade policy" OF the democrats. which
they charge with having brought ruin
and desolation on the country.
1t is evident that these explanations
prove too much. IL all the prosperity
which has resulted from the Wilson
tariff is due 10 the incidental protcc-
tion 1t affords, how does IL happen that
the much greater protection" of the
Mckinley tariff did not ward of the
business depression Of is93-9s? Again.

widespread prosperity. would 1t not ie
LOGICAL to expect that further reduc
tons would make the country still
more prosperous?

The San Francisco Chronicle asserts

but in view of the admission by the
New York Tribune that over one

intelligent men who read other papers
will agree with the Chronicle The
thousands of mills and factories which
were closed under McKinleyisai. but
arc now running on full time: the in
creased production Of coal. iron and
copper mines; the advance in the price
Of wool. wheat. cotton and other farm

benefits of tariff reform. How can the
high tariffites expect to make converts
to their trade-restriction theories, when
the facts of millions OF people whose
condition has been improved by the
Wilson tariff are 80 plainly against
them?

dus; the highest and strongest argu-
ments brought forward by cynical
bachelors that marriage Is failure.
But vet, with all his devotion, he was
able to appreciate pretty woman.
He kept this appreciation to himself.
In years time he had learned many
truths of whose existence he had not
even drca med before. One OF these
was that it was far better for mar
ricd man To keep some things to him
self and 10 observe a religious silence
on others. One subject upon which he
kept religious silence was that OF
praising pretty women in his wife's
hearing When he had married her he
thought his wife the most beautiful
creature which the widest dreams OF
lovers fancy could conjure up. but
after a years constant association with
her he had been forced 10 acknowledge
TO himself that there were others As
pretty and at last had decided that
some were even prettier, but that none
was better or sweeter he never
doubted.
HIS wife loved him with that fond
private affectionate contempt which is
common to all married women. and
which is the result of their tactful
management Of apparently refractory
husbands who are all unconscious that
they are being managed. But take

Strange Incident OF tho Mails.

lady in Boston wrote some letters
and sealed them, rs is her custom, with
Moorish coin having tiny hook in
its back. Her correspondents, says tho
Boston Herald, oil knew this peculiar
seal and how highly it is priced, from
its antiquity and the stylish form it
takes in the wax Called suddenly
from the room, these letters were soon
after posted by n servant in tho nearest
box, and not till then did the owner OF
the rare coin miss it from the table.
The room was searched, and finally the
maid dispatched to await the letter
collector on his next round. But he
declared nothing had been seen of any
such seal, and then the search began
indoors again, but with no better luck.
a few days after this lady received d
letter from Canada sealed with the ia
miliar Moorish hieroglyphics. The
mystery was soon explained, for on
opening the envelope it was learned
that this heavy seal had stuck to the
letter sent from Boston, and, though
passing through SO many hands, had
arrived intact, to the great astonish-
ment OF the recipient.

Ecccntrisitiss OF Erancis Key Dunlop, OF
Washington, Who Dic,i Recently.

Ecccntrleltiss OF Francis Key Dunlop, of
Washington. Who Dic,i Recently.
Students OF mental character have an
interesting study in the character OF
Francis Key Dunlop, who died in Wash
inGton recently, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Mr. Dunlop
was known to everyone who has spent
much time in Washington during the
last third of Il century. At college he
was an athlete and developed himself
physically to Il remarkable degree. He
received n severe fall while still at col
lego, and this resulted in brain trouble
that made him the most eccentric man
in Washington in dress. Belonging to
one of the oldest and richest families
in Washington, he was supported with
an abundant income. The effort for
physical development he had made in
college caused an impression on his mind
which resulted in his padding his Shout
ders to tremendous degree. With
this eccentricity lie also had n ten
dency to largc-sizcd collars and cuffs
tho cuffs always being made to
order and twice tho size ordinarily
worn by men. His neck he painted
red and his face was coated with white,
which gave him CHASTITY appearance.
This mode of attire Dunlop continued
to the day of his death, his clothes be-
ing made by the most fashionable tailor
here. During his earlier years he was
constant attendant at thcatcrs and ut
social events, for he never stood ION
any fornality," and would go to rccep-
tons without invitation. his well-known
family always guaranteeing kindly
reception for him in the cotcric with
which he was familiar. But notwith-
standing these cccertricitics, Mr.. Dam
lop is pronounced by men who knew
him most intimately to have been ono
OF the soundest and most discerning
literary critics OF his day. He left an
immense library, buying and reading
every new book OF any note Only a
couple OF weeks ago he visited the CAPT
toll building for the last time, He was
nearly seventy years of age, and despite
The enormously padded shoulders and
arms walked feebly. He was the most
unique eccentric character that Wash
lngton has ever known.
