NEW HARBOR NEAR CHICAGO.

Chicago and New York capitalists
have organized to construct an inland
harbor in the heart of the Calumet
region. The expenditure of private
capital will be 5000, 900. Hammond
and East Chicago have assured
prompt cooperation, and the Federal
Government is expected to lend
hand. The harbor will be adapted
to the deepest draught navigation.
The enterprise will give employment
to 1000 men. Under the present plans
work will be begun in October. Com
pletion is expected within two Or
three years.
It is believed that the sequel Of this
undertaking will be the development
of a great commercial town at the
northwestern gateway Of Indiana.
The industrial and agricultural re-
sources of Indiana will be linked with
the shipping trade of the lakes. In
cidentally some people believe that it
will eventually divert considerable
traffic from Chicago.
Not until recently, however, was its
success made possible. A unity of
interests has been perfected. Back
Of the scheme are men of prominence.
They say the scheme is feasible.
Among the New Workers interested
& Co.. and A. D. Eddy, representing
John d. Rockefeller. Owen F. Adds
of Chicago represents number of
Eastern capitalists in the scheme.
1t is understood that some leading
Vermont business men had a tip
about the developing of the property
in this section before it was known
to the public generally and that they
have purchased large tracts of the
land that without doubt will soon
grow into prosperous cities.

Almost every man in Anne RIGA has some di-
gestive trouble. When men meet the greet
ing usually is, well how are you?" That
develops health talk. The man who has no
bowel or stomach trouble is almost a curiosi-
ty. Trouble is men take care of themselv-
es- They eat though they had copper
stomachs and bowels of brass. By and by,
overworked nature rebels. Then come head
aches, bad blood, liver and kidney troubles.

OUR TRADE WITH HA WAII.

Hawaiian commerce during the last
10 years is the subject of a circular
just issued by the department Of agri-
culture. The paper was prepared by
E. Hitchcock, chief Of the division Of
markets, under the direction OF Sec
rotary Wilson. The facts set forth
bear directly upon the current dis
cussion of the annexation OF the Ha-
waiian islands to this country and are
as follows:
sThe comparison Of statistics shows
that the United States controls 80 per
cent of the entire trade of the islands.
The total value of exports and i'm
ports Of Hawaii for 1896 was $21 ,578,-
$50, OF which about two thirds, $15,-
515, 23O, was the value of goods ex-
ported. The average Of exports Of
the 10 years 1887 1896 was 81, 052, al
and of imports SIS, 422, 459, leaving an
average balance Of So, 62S, 681 i'll favor
of exports.
s'On this traffic 81 20 per cent was
with the United States during the first
FIVE years of the decade, and in the
second five years this lead of this
country over other countries was in
creased to 1892 per cent. Another
impression OF the situation may be
gained from the statement that our
trade with the islands in 1896, accord
ing to Hawaiian statistics, reached
500, 924, 1906, the largest amount ever
recorded, while the highest figures
previously were for 1890, when a total
of $15, 332, 631. 80 was reported.
''The United States, however, does
not yet hold SO large a position in
furnishing goods for Hawaii as in talk
ing the products or the islands. OF
the average OF exports for the 10
years, nearly 81, 100000 a year, the
United States has bought practically
all. Only one-haIf Of per cent has
been sold to other countries. OF the
goods purchased by Hawaii, on the
other hand, the United States furnish
es about three fourth.
'sThe goods coming from Hawaii TO
Un0 united SUaCSS are IAeSl1lIy dSIACUl-
tural products, while the shipments
in the other directions, except bread
stuffs, are chiefly manufactures. Our
imports of sugar make the largest
item in the trade, while our imports
of rice come next. Next in order are
our exports of breadstuffs, cotton
goods, fertilizers, machinery, tobacco
and chemicals. It is noticeable that
shipments of American live stock,
meats, apples and corn amount to
very little.
ssPrior to 1876, when the first reel
procity treaty was made between the
United States and Canada, the total
averaged only 81, $40, 419. Since that
date steady growth has brought the
total to more than five times that
amount.
"Figures are furnished for first
three months Of the fiscal year 1897,
as compared with the same period in
1896. They show large increases in
the important items of trade. The
other countries whose trade with Ha-
wall seems to be growing are China
and Japan, taken together with Cana
d."

Tired people are tired because they have
exhausted their strength. The only way for
them to get strong is to eat proper food. But
eating is not all. Strength comes from food,
after digestion. Digestion is made easy with

tired, too, die. Life is strength. Food is the
maker of strength. Food is not food until it
is digested. Tired, pale, thin, exhausted,
sick sufferers from indigestion, can be cured
by the use of Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t

Protectlnr WooIrromcrs.

Suppose the Dingicy duties on wool
would give the woolgrOwers all the
protection claimed and that the price
of wool would actually 60 up the full
amount of the duty, which, Of course,
IS absurd. What would be the effect
upon the country at large?
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product at
tj5,OOO, 900 out OF total OF 1900, OOO,-
900 produced by all the workers of the
country and the persons dependent on
the wool industry at 100000 out of o
total population of 73,OO0,0OO. The
wool duty then means that out of every
24O persons 23O are to be ''held up" for
the benefit of the other one. This is a
sample of what protection does. Of
course more than 100000 persons may
sometimes raise a few sheep, but the
interests of these others are more those
OF the consumer than of the sheep
raiser, and they would lose more be-
cause of the increased cost of woolens
than they would gain by the increased
price Of wool.
The protective tariff system is farce
when considered in connection with the
farmer or the wOrkingman. Will they
ever fully appreciate 1t?

JAMES G. BLAINE.
Hon William Mckinley, Chairman Ways
and Means.
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share Of protection and foOlishly
imagine that they can get il by duty
On hides? II is perfectly consistent
with the protection system to tax hides,
especially as the bulk OF the tax would
probably go to few monopoly butchers
and ranchmeu. But observe some OF
the effects upon our industries;
The importatiOns OF untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at $2O.-
2t6,25s. The goatslins were valued at
$lO,3O3, $50. The former were mostly
converted into sole leather, beltings
and such like heavy material, for which
our native hides are not thick enough.
The goatsl,ins are not produced in this
country.
From this raw material we not only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than are made elsewhere in the
world. but we exported finished prod
ucts OF the value of $20,242, 1855. With
out free and cheap raw material this
export trade would have been impossi'
BILE, and our own people, as Mr.. Blaine
pointed out, would be compelled to pay
more for their footwear. The wages
paid too workers in leather last year
amounted to $25,542. JOG.

An Odious Tax.

The tin plate makers wish to boom
their business by increasing the duty
on imported tin plate, to the injury of
the canning industry and other in
dustries that flourish by reason
of cheap tin plate. Another blow
is struck at business by abolishing
the rebate OH exported tin cans. Now
canned goods exported in cans made of
imported tin are allowed a draw back Of
the duty paid, and thus an export bust
ness has been built up in canned fruits,
oysters, vegetables, petroleum, etc.
Over 100000 tin cans are sent abroad
annually, containing oil which COM
petes with that of Russia. When Rus
STA can buy tin plate Mt $2.7O u box,
while we have to pay $3.50 for 1t, 1t is
evident that our competition will be
rendered difficult. Mr.. Dngley robs

With regard to Chairman Dingley's
admission that the duty on wool will
increase the price of wool, the Kansas
City Times says; The consumer and
not the foreigner, therefore, pays the
tariff tax. It comedies also that the
