The highest honor that can be paid
any economic system Is that which is
paid to the protective system in the fact
that after 30 years experience we have
cheapened every manufactured product
and our labor has held its own. The
manufactured article seems to have gone
down in price, but the wage that the
workman receives has not been reduced.
Match that if you can. Free trade
cheapens the article by cheapening the
artisan. Protection cheapens the article
by elevating the artisan. William
Mckinley.

A Twelve-year-old Duchess.

An interesting little parsonage is the
Archduchess Elizabeth the 12-year
daughter of the Crown Princess Ste
phanie of Austria. She has been staying
at Schloss Murzsteg in Steirmark, and
being a sensible little lady she wished
very much to make friends with the viii
lage children and take part in their
games. No obstacle was placed in her
way, and she joined them one day, ask
ing prettily if she might play with
them. The result was, as might have
been expected, awestruck silence and q
gradual edging away from the emperor s
grandchild. Princess Elizabeth, as she
is popularity called, did her best to reas-
sure them, and told them not to be
afraid of her, saying, Il am little girl
like you, and will play with you as
you play among yourselves. "
Finding they still remained i'll at ease
she made them sit TO her in turn while
she sketched them, which pleased them
very much, and by degrees the shyness
wore off. The drawings were afterward
sent to the emperor Of Austria and 9TH
or members of the imperial family.
Kaiser Franz Josef was very much
pleased with them, and wrote, stating
his satisfaction at his grandchild's in
dustry and the clever portraits, but ex
pressed establishment that she had por-
trayed all the children with widely open
mouths. Princess Elizabeth wrote back :
1.-THE children only remain still when 1
promise them sweets. And then they
open their mouths so wide. The en-
peror laughed heartily over the explana
ton. -Philadelphia Ledger.

This is what the London Builder of
Aug. %, 1894, predicted when the Cor
man law was awaiting the presidents
pleasure:
Painters and sculptors may fairly
rejoice, since oil paintings and water
color drawings, and statuary, which are
at present subject to duty of 10 per
cent, will in future be admitted into
the United States free of duty. We can
not doubt that the withdrawal of the
duty will tend to brighten the prospects
of English and French artists in their
relations with the States

1t is mostly the cheap reproductions
that are now imported for publication
in American magazines. These can be
secured at trifiing cost. Considering
that the imports of foreign art works
have so largely increased during the
business depression in this country, it
is evident that the quantity of foreign
art works must have seriously inter
fered with the business Of American

FREE TRADE IDEAS.
ANALYSIS SHOWS MUCH BETTER RE-
SUITS FROM PROTECTION.

Quarter OF n Century's Brit.sh aud Amer
isin Commercial History Uncle Sam
Lacks John Bull Mt Every step-why Do
wagiishmen EGisrs.e.
The idea is being spread by the ene-
mics Of the policy Of protection that a
fsse trade policy has proved TO be an
excellent thing for the United King
dom, hence that it must necessarily be
good for the United States. They forgot
that there are many different conditions
in the two countries. British farmers
have had enough experience of free
trade, and SO have British manufacture
ers Of cotton goods, iron and steel ware,
brooms and brushes, matches. mats,
buttons and other things made on the
continent of Europe that are now being
sold largely in the English market
Let us grant, for the sake of argu
ment, that free trade has been a good
thing for the United Kingdom. But let
us see if protection has not been a better
thing for the United States.
From 1916 TO 1875, with the excep-
tion of four different years. the balance
of trade has been against the United
States-our imports being larger than
our experts. From 1876 to 1895, a
period of 20 years, this was the case
during only three years, our total ex-
ports being 81, 236, 332, $50 larger than
our imports during the other IL years,
the net excess of exports for the 90
years being 81, 1876, Sol, 868. During
this same period. 1876 to 1895, British
imports exceeded their exports by ST.
316, l05, 900. We thus have the follow
ing comparisons:
PERIOD 1876 TO 1896
British imports exceeded British
exports by........................ $l1 3l6, lOoOO
United States exports exceeded
United States imports by....... 2,lS6, S6l, 1868
First let US note the growth Of the
foreign trade of the two countries from
1876 TO 1895:

British wealth has increased by ga
900, 900, 900 in the quarter of century.
American wealth increased more than
eight times as much-by $50, 900, 0OO,-
600.
Another comparison shows that where
there was an increase of III, 4O1 in the
total number of hands employed in all
British textile industries from 1870 to
1890, the increase was 236, 954 in the
United Satisfactorily showing the
more rapid progress Of our textile in
dustries under protection, the wages
paid here having doubled in 20 years
from $50, 800, 191 year in 1870 to
s173, 547, 843 in 1890.
Plenty more comparisons could be
instituted, but these are sufficient to
show that if free trade has been good
policy for the United Kingdom, then
protection has been a very much better
policy for the United States. In conclu-
sion we might ask if this had not been
the case, why have 1850. 800 British
immigrants come to the United States
-28. 90 per cent of our total immigra-
tion-between 1870 and 1895?

Boomer Girls Cause Trouble.

The Boston Bloomer Girls, who
are travelling through the country
as base ball players, and who played
in this town several weeks ago, had
an exciting experience at Elk Point,
S, D., last Sunday. According to
the report the team had been
warned previously that if they at
tempted to play there they would
be arrested for violating the Sunday
law, but until the end of the eighth
inning nothing was done to modest
them, AT that juncture Deputy
Sheriff Carter and his son Fred
stepped into the field and placed all
the players under arrest. The girls
were loaded into a carryall and a
start made for the county Jail, with
a crowd of 800 men and boys in hot
pursuit. The officers were assailed
with the vilest epithets and the air
filled with missiles aimed at their
heads. Fred Carter was finally
pulled from the wagon and serious
ly injured by the mob. In the
court house yard, while the war
rants for the prisoners arrests
were being examined, a rush was
made for the deputy. He was over
powered, the girls assisted into
their wagon and hurried out of
town before a posse could be raised.
An attempt may yet be made to
have them sent back to stand trial
at Elk Point
