A GENERAL PROTEST.
ALL SECTIONS INJUREDB FREE
TRADE LEGISLATION.

Not Only the Sugar Planters of the
south, But the Farmers Of the
West Are Up in Arms Against
the Policy Of Free Trade.
The New York World regards the
movement of the sugar planters of
Louisiana as "no surprise to those
who have watched the drift of Ameri-
can politics during the past ten years, -
and says that it is the beginning of a
movement that ''must go on for a
number of years to come"
The World is right in this and in it's
further prediction that other States
in the South have the same element
of citizenship as that in Louisiana,
now hostile to Democratic principles,
and that realignment of industrial
forces must change the political make
up of the South. The World consoles
itself in the belief that what it's party
loses in the South in the near future
it will gain in the great cereal-grow-
ing States of the Northwest, upon the
assumption that these States will
favor the policy of free trade after
trying the effect of the present tariff
rates.
The temper of that section of the
country will be fully revealed in the
future elections, but up to the present
time we can see no reason for the full
fillment of the Worlds expectation.
On the other hand, there is ample
reason for strong Western protest
against the policy of free trade. Leav-
ing out of consideration the serious
injury to the wool industry and the
dreadful impairment of the consuming
capacity CT the laboring classes all
over the country, the result of free
trade legislation, we have but to point
to the vital losses sustained by the
agricultural interests, chiefly in the
Western States, which tho World ex-
poets to espouse its cause, as follows:
During the first four months of the
operation of the German tariff there
were imported in the dutiable schedule
of articles of food and live animals
$11 ,096, 419 more than in the corre-
spending period of the previous year
under the Mckinley law. The shrink
age in exports of the products
OF agriculture for the first four
months after the passage of the
free trade tariff, when compared with
the exports of the same products in
the corresponding period under the
Mckinley law, amounted to $50, 15S,
361. These are items of practical loss,
amounting in the aggregate to $41,-
254, ,780, covering period of only
four months. The loss in domestic
trade cannot be definitely computed,
but we know that during the period of
depression since the beginning OF free
trade agitation it reached into billions
of dollars.
The West will not long tolerate q
system which is literally devouring
her substance, but, along with the
States of the South which in the last
election made such strenuous efforts
to shake off free trade ideas, she will
see the true value of protection and
bid ad1eu forever to free trade heresy,
which, whenever and wherever tried,
has operated so seriously to hinder in
dividual and National progress.

A nENEFAoroR OF HIS spEcIEs.

Frau Won S.. we'll known for her
kindness and generosity, was waited
upon the other day by well-dressed
gentleman, who spoke to her as fol-
lows:
81 wish to draw your attention,
madam, to tho sad case of q poor
family. The father is weak and adj
vanced in years, the mother is bedrid-
den, and their five little children are
clamoring for bread. The poor Great
ures are about to be turned into the
street with their wretched belongings
unless somebody will undertake to pay
their arrears Of rent, amounting to
thirty marks. F"
Frau Won S. at once went to fetch
the money. Handing it to her visitor,
she said:

tis an easy job to give
Advice-we all can teach
But such an awkward thing to live
And practice what we preach!
OF kindly precept none have lacked
So far as I have seen;
But words by good example backed
Are few and far between.
The country stands in need Of those,
Who do as Enoch did,
And while their weary jaws repose
Walk right side up amid
The mad, discordant surging throng
That treads the pavement blocks
Such men do moro to crush out wong
Than one who simply talks.
We have too much of vocal noise,
Too great waste Of breath,
This life Is robbed of half its joys
And talked almost to death;
If more would bravely do and dare
Tho land Of heavenly bliss
Would have few recruits to spare
From those who die in this.

The London Spectator praises Lord
Roseberv for granting o pension of a
hundred pounds year to William
Watson, and thinks he might also have
conferred tho laureateship on him
without risking the condemnation OF
any judgment worth considering. 1t

Watson's eleg1acs and the delicate
humor of his more familiar verse"

A well-known European engineer
who has been exploring the Panama
Isthmus for many years reports that
he has discovered route along the
Toto, Javiesa and Tuyra Rivers by
which the two oceans can be con.

of not more than $l8,000,O0O. The
most important work on the route

one on each side of the mountain,
would be required.
