RECIPROCITY DEMANDED.
A Protective TarIR Is Now an Assured
Thing.

Thing.
Tariff revision in the line OF Increased
protection IS now an assured thing.
The usual phenomenon is seen OF a par
tisan committee OF a future congress
giving hearings to manufacturers and
o.acr persons who are directly inter
ested in tariff laws. When the special
session meets In the spring all the pre-
liminaries will have been gone through
with and a party majority viii set the
seal OF its approval upon everything
that the committee has done. The
minority viii have practically no part
ia the business. IT is as effectively
barred out as IL it belonged to Kam-
chatka or sDmc other region equally
remote.
IL il 70 be hoped, therefore, that the
committee win do its work with per-
feet impartiality between conflicting
interests and in particular that il will
not neglect to take advantage OF every
thing that may be gained through
reciprocity. BY the operations Of the
Mckinley law it was demonstrated that
one OF the chief values OF the protective
tariff Is the leverage IL gives Us upon
foreign nations through the instru-
mentality Of reciprocity. This was
particularly noticeable In the case Of
the Spanish-American countries. Our
enormous importations OF sugar and
coffee and tobacco are their industrial
life. IL Is true also that their staples
are indispensable 90 Us, but not one Of
them can afford to let any OF the others
enter our markets on better terms than
IL enjoys. Consequently they arc all
glad 10 make concessions TO our pork
and -four II only we viii treat them ac-
cordingly The tariff IS persuasive
method Of bringing them 20 time that
is always sure to succeed.
Chicago has q peculiar interest in the
revival OF the reciprocity idea. II is
the country's greatest market for grain
and provisions. Bluine's famous letter
10 Senator Frye. which dubbed the
reciprocity clause into the Mckinley
tariff, might have been written by a
Chicago man, with the interests OF Chi
cago primarily in view. But the inter-
csts OF Chicago are the latcrests OF the
central and northern parts OF the Mis-
eissippi valley. The whole western
country has a vital concern in this mat
ter and Mr.. Dingley's committee should
keep this fact in mind. The agriculture
Of the west demands as thorough con-
sidcration as the manufactures Of the
Gust, and IL was because of the contin-
nal preaching OF the free traders
that protective tariff Disseminated
against the farmer that the Mckinley
law was repudiated by the country be-
fore the benefits Of reciprocity were
fully undcrstood.-Chicago Journal.

NATURE makes a wonderful pro-
vision for the propagation of the mis-
tletoe The berries of the plant are
much sought after by the missed
thrush, bird familiar to all country
people. As the bird eats the berries it
gets the sticky seeds cntangled in its
feet and bin, and, flying away TO an
other tree, it gets rid Of them by rub
bing them of sideways on tho
branches. II often happens to be a
favorable spot for the seed TO sprout
ia. Once planted the berry quickly
proceeds TO make good its advantage.

If the policy Of protection Is not to be
just in les application and national In
its scope, based upon broad principle.
then the sooner IL is relinquished the
better. 1t cannot be sustained. and
ought not to be. for one class or interest
or section, and denied to others equally
within the contemplation Of It's purpose,
The raw materials class have rights
which cannot be ignored. Those who
think otherwise forget that the adj
vanccd product is only the manipula-
ton Of the less advanced. and the less
advanced OF the still less finished
product, with human labor as the chief
factor In all; and protection upon the
one cannot be successfully and per-
mnnently maintained without protec-
ton Of the other.--IIon. William Nc.

THE statistics of crime for 1896 show
that i0,652 murders were committed
during the year, and that there were
1872 legal executions and i3l lynchings
during that period. The large number
of lynchings show disregard of law,
but the small number of legal execu-
tions, as compared with the CHASTITY
record OF murders, also gives food for
sober and serious reflection.

manded TO zee her. After some hesita-
ton she consented to come downstairs.
He accused her of forgetting him.

reply.
This seemed TO anger him, and he d
manded to see the baby. Mrs. Carr re-
fused t. 60 after the child. saying that 1t
was asleep. an d that she would not wake IL.
Hardly had she spoken when Carr drew
revolver and, aiming at her heart.
pulled the triga.. The bullet penetrated
the fleshy part OF her left forearm. She
went to Providence to have her wound
dressed and then returned home.
