Error of a Pretty Immigrant Bringn
Bushes to "a Young Mans Cheeks.
Some men are born to be kissed, some
achieve kisses, while Others have kisses
thrust upon them. The last seems to
be the case with a visitor to the irnNni-
grant station at the foot of Washing
ton avenue recently.
Among the passengers who disem-
barlsed from the American line steamer
Waesland, which had reached ger dock,
We're a little group OF ,rosy-eheeked
maidens from Ireland. They were cen-
dleted to the immigrant station, where
the inspectors started into ply them
with the usual questions as TO their
financial eondtfson, ability to earn a liS-
Ing, relatives residing i'll THU country,
etc.
.'Shure. Ihaye brother here, replied
the prettiest one of the lot TO the In
gpector who was questioning her, 'and
he was to meet me this day
do you see him?." queried the in-
spector.
4 don't" was ths answer, the iassie.s
red lip pouting prettily. But that's
not sthrapge. We were childer when
he left the ould country, an wouldn't
know him at all, at ALL
The inspector looked around among
the crowd. Spying stalwart, hand-
some young fellow among the onlook-
ers he pointed to him.
sIg that your brother?s he asked.
The maiden gave one glance ut the
young fellow and then threw herself
into his arms with glad cry.
1T is, it is,n she exclaimed. s.shure,
Pathrick, an it's glad am to see YOU"
The next instant she was planting re-
sounding smaeks upon the young mans
lips. The latter was too much surprised
to say a word at first. Finally he pushed
the girl gently away.
Its mistaken you are" he said,
blgghing to the roots Of his hair; IT
never had a sisfsf."
The pretty immigrant would have
fallen in heap if the inspector had not
caught her in his arms and led her
weeping to seat.
'Shure, 1 thought you said he was my
brother she walled. ooh, wurra,
wurra, what have tione?''
The arrival of the real brother a few
minutes later dried her tears and
brought the smiles to her face once
more. 1t was noticed the young fellow
who got the kisses fingered around un-
til the brother and sister went away,
afterward making vigorous inquiries
as to who they We're, and it is not be-
yond the possibilities that-well, love
affairs have grown out of much less

TRuSTY FRIENDS.
Republicans Who Help the Monopos
lies Through.


The republicans of the senate have
given the best possible proof of their
insincerity in protesting to be hostile
to trusts by rejecting the Pettigrew
amendment putting on the free list for
eien articles when the corresponding
domestic articles are controlled by COM
binations.
The republicans passed the antitrust
law of 1890. The author of that law,
John Sherman, had declared ON tho
floor of the senate that he would vote
to withdraw protection from producers
who combined to stifie competition. He
held to the-sepubliean theory that pro-
lection WssI good thing for consumers
in the long ran, because it induced COM
petition among home producers and
thereby reduced prices below what
they would be in the absence of pretee-
ton. His attention was called to the
fact that producers combined to de-
stroy competition among one another,
and extort up to the limit fixed by the
duties. It was then that Sherman said
he would vote to withdraw protection
in such cases.
He did not do that, but he introduced
his antitrust bill, and his republican
associates voted forit. BY that act they
publicly professed to be hostile to mo-
nopoly combinations. That law has
been practically of no effect. And now
the republicans deliberately refuse to
reach the trusts in the only sure way
by denying them protection.
And they emphasized their refusal
by tabling the Pettigrew amendment
in connection with the sugar schedule,
which their steering committee SO
framed that it sent up the diluted stock
Of the sugar trust five to ten points, to
1876. And they do it in the face of the
plainest possible demonstration that
the trust absolutely stiles competition.
They have not only the admission Of the
head of the trust before the Lexow com.
mittee, but they have also the seven
identical bids submitted in response to
an advertisement for sugar for the In
dian reservations. In the face of this
evident conspiracy to rob the govern
ment, the republicans vote down the
Pettigrew amendment.
And, not content with that, they vote
down in caucus an amendment offered
by one of their own number, Senator
Spooner, intended to compel the trust
to dispose of the enormous stock of
sugar it has been importing in antici-
patton of higher duties at prices based
on the present tariff. Not content with
giving this great monopoly more pro-
lection, they deliberately assist it in
beating the treasury and raking OFF
millions of extra profit.
The republicans are exceedingly kind
to the trusts, and especially to the
sugar trust. And he7only excuse they
offered was that of Mr.. Hoar, who said
that the tariff bill was no place for
such an amendment as that offered by
Mr.. Pettigrew, and besides it would
enable any three men to put any article
on the free list by organizing bogus
combination.
Obviously the tariff bill was the only
proper place for the legislation pro-
posed by Mr.. Pettigrew. And not less
obviously is it easy enough to distin-
guish between genuine and bogus
trust. The Hoar excuse will not serve.

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

PrOtectfonists to Keep Up the Old
Confidence Game.
The republicans have long been tell
ing the farmer that it is their earnest
desire to protect him, and they are
always threatening to do it. Tariff
after tariff has been made, and yet, pre-
liminary to the making of every tariff.
the farmer has been told that he must
be protected. Tariff duties have been
repeatedly socked on the farmers
products, and yet he has always been
marked out for the considerate atten-
tion of the protectionists, just as If ne
had been hitherto overlooked. The
same game is being played now. The
farmer is again assured that he must
be protected, the inference being, of
course, that the tariff makers forgot
all about him the last time. He is to
be made happy, therefore. too, by the
s1apping ON of the same old tariff du-
ties that have admittedly failed to con-
stitute protection heretofore. And SO
it goes, and SO it will keep on going.
There is reason to think it anyway.
The other day it was proposed in the
senate to pay a bounty on agricultural
products. This would have meant pro-
lection; there is no doubt about that.
All that the farmer needs is better
prices for his products. He cannot get
such prices under the protective sys-
tenn of import duties; because there
is little or no competition from foreign
agricultural products, and the home
market is not equal to the absorption
of his entire production. The proposed
bounty would have been a good thing
for him. It is the only thing, in fact,
in the way Of a government gift that
could be helpful to him. VIII he get
it? Not much. The senate lost no time
In rejecting the proposal. The protec-
tionists are burning with a desire to do
something for the farmer, but when
the opportunity to help Kim is afforded
them, they let it slip; they run away
from it.
Perhaps, some day, the farmers eyes
will be opened to the sort of work the
republican tarifites are giving him.

strength of near months, due to the urg-
ent demand for spot cotton, and some
thing like a little squeeze at New Orleans.
Hence, May was the month which showed
the largest gain. Some improvement is
noted in crop planting conditions, but lit
tie attention was paid to it, al least as far
as the old crop months are concerned. It
Is evident that with our present and
prospective supply, a continuation of the
present rate of demand means exhaustion
before the new crop comes in, and prices
Will probably continue to advance until
this demand receives a check. The new
crop months will improve somewhat, in
sympathy but barring bad weather condi-
tlons will meet with increasing pressure
to sell, especially as the advance comes
just in time to give an extra stimulus to
increased acreage.
Grain and ProVisions-The war-born
wheat boom came to an untimely end on
Monday morning, and the market has
been pretty badly demoralized ever since.
The close is weak, at a net decline of over
&c; July, 705sc. 1t was claimed that the
recent strength was due rather to domes-
tic crop conditions than to the war
abroad, but evidently this was a mistake,
for crop reports are about bad as ever,
and yet the advance has all gone. The
marke. looks weak, but when the last of
the war spectators come out there may
come another rise, based upon safer
grounds; for considering present supplies
and crop prospects, wheat looks cheap
enough on its merits. Yet a puzzling fac
tor in the question is the much lower
prices of other cereals. Corn and oats
were weak and declined 11ac each Sep
TENDER corn closed 26Ac, and July oats,
173sc. This seems to be a level of prices
too low to continue indefinitely. Provis-
ions We're mostly easy on liquidation of
May contracts. Ribs suffered the most,
declining 17l5c; pork held up better, clos
ing prices for July delivery were: Pork,
$780, lard, SALTY; ribs $i.65. The position
of provisions is healthy enough, and
prices are likely to be advanced in the
course of the next few months.
