IMPORTS or HIDES AND WOOL.
n slss, s62,S44



The imports of hides were all under
absolute free trade, the small quanti-
ties that paid duties under the reci-
procity provisions OF the Mckinley
tariff not being included. The imports
of wool were all dutiable until 1895.
Excluding the imports of both hides
and wool during 1894, the first complete
fiscal year of the disastrous democratic
administration, when business was
practically at a standstill, we find that
the average value of our imports of
hides for the six years-under free
trade--was $27,000,O0 year. OF wool
we imported to the average extent Of
$1S,500,000 year, from 1890 TO 1898,
under protection; but free trade in wool
brought the figures up 10 an average
OF $29,000,000 year during 1895 and
1896.
Free wool has resulted in increasing
the value of our imports of wool above
the average value of our imports of
hides under free trade. Free wool has
been found so disastrous TO our sheep
industry that il is necessary TO restore
protection TO wool. Protection is bene-
fetal TO American wool producers, so
why not 10 our cattle owners? IL is
good policy to apply protection to one
OF these farm products, and IL is better
policy 10 apply il 20 both of them.

Our ponded Privileges for Canndfas
Railroads May Be Removed--Ar-
gument for Protecting
Our shipping.

The new Canadian tariff proposes TO
discriminate against certain American
products and manufactures and in favor
OF British goods. The Canadians have
every right TO do this provided it does
not interfere with any commercial
treaty that may exist between the two
countries. This point viii, OF course, be
inquired into by congress. but we hard
ly suppose that the Canadian govern
ment is making its discriminating
proposition as mere bluff and without
knowing the ground on which IL stands.
Bluffs don't go much In this country.
so we win, therefore, assume that Cam
ada can enact whatever kind OF tariff
she pleases and discriminate against us
TO her hearts content. IL will be well.
however, for Canadn TO remember that
two can play at the same game. In our
tariff bill now before congress we have
made no effort TO discriminate against
Canada, but have treated her as fairly
and squarely as all other countries
while desiring to afford protection to
the labor in our own.
Fortunately. IL is not too late to
amend the Dingley tariff. Our imports
from Canada include coal. silver, fish,
lumber, logs, shingles, sheep, hides,
hay. eggs. horses, wool, barley, beans,
peas and wood pulp. American mines,
forests and farms would not be injured
by our total exclusion of all these Cana
dian products from the markets of the
United States. Should we happen TO be
in absolute need of any OF them we
sould easily let down bar Of our pro-
lection fence and get them quickly
enough. Canada only buys our goods
because she needs them, and is at per-
feet liberty 10 purchase from England
.hould she so prefer.
But Canada must not forget that the
proposed discrimination in favor of
British manufacturers is merely prop

"How is your aunt this afternoon?"

osition TO pay them the amount Of such
discrimination. They could at once adj
vance their prices TO within fraction
of the full amount of that discrimina-
ton, which would, of course, react TO
our benefit in the trade by enabling us
to sell at our old price and still pay the
extra duty. Then there is little mat
ter concerning the Canadian railroads
and bonded privileges i'm the transporta-
ton of their goods through our terri
tory. 1t would be an excellent OPP
portunity for us to abolish all these UNI
American sops that have been given,
and for too long. TO the British capi-
talists who own the Canadian railroads.
This would result in better business for
American railroads, which are sadly in
need OF greater opportunities for being
relieved of receiverships.
Take il all in all, il might be n very
good thing TO have little tariff war
with Canada and England, for this is
really an English idea with the wire
pulling manipulated by John Bull. The
Canadians are old enough to know that
their venerable ancestor, the mother
country OF which they are SO proud, is
not going to lose any Of the financial
benefits that may accrue through dis
elimination against our goods. III we do
not continue TO sell to Canada, then
England, or Germany, will do so at n
higher price. But will England or Ger
many buy the Canadian coal, or silver,
or fish, or lumber. or logs, or shingles,
or sheep, or hides, or hay, or eggs, or
horses, or wool, or barley, or beans, or
peas, or wood pulp that we have been
buying? Certainly not; and Canada
will have larger surplus Of these prod
ucts on hand, with the result that the
prices of such commodities will be
cheaper 10 the Canadian farmers, mine
and forest owners.
We fail yet TO see where Canada will
derive any great advantage from dis
eliminating against the United States
in trade matters. But let her try il on.
We think we shall be able to survive the
blow, and we are willing TO wager an
American doughnut against n British
bun that Canada will be the first 20 cry

interesting 20 observe what the free
trade papers have to say about this
policy of discriminating duties. as pro-
posed by Canada, in contradistinction
TO our proposed policy Of discriminating
duties in favor of American shipping.
There can no longer be honest oppose
ton TO our idea for protecting our mer-
chant marine, so let MS put IL into effect
without delay.

silver I'm Perm

The progressive decline in the value
Of silver bullion the world over has
at last compelled Peru TO take decisive
steps TO stop the depreciation of her
currency, which is on the silver basis.
On May 10 the coinage of silver at the
Peruvian mints ceased entirely. and no
silver bullion will be received at the
mint. The importation OF silver coin
is prohibited, except IL be converted
into bullion, which, of course, cannot
be coined. This prevents any increase
OF the volume of silver coin, through
importation. The amount of silver coin
brought into Peru by travellers is also
stringently limited. The unit of Peru
Wan money is the sol, whose face value
is about 03 cents of our money. It's
actual value is now 46.s cents. The gov
eminent of Peru is trying TO prevent
any further depreciation by adopting
the method in vogue in France for the
past 20 years, and which the United
States has used since 1s03-to limit the
volume OF silver, thus preventing it's
fluctuating in value with the price of
silver bullion. Yet there are men in the
United States who would bring upon
this country the calamity of fiuctu-
ating currency, which always is ruinous
to the workingmen and the farming
community, in pursuance of the theory
that the government stamp confers

| selfish Monopoly Tries 20 Checi
OrOwfh OF Merchant Marine
The republican party and President
Mckinley have both Endorsed the so
called discriminating duty policy. for
the protection Of our ships in the for
c'gn carrying trade, because IL Is pol
icy that admits of protection by tbs
tariff just as other American industries
are protected. IL either gives protec.
ton, or IL gives additional revenue. In
either, or i'm both cases, IL is beneficial
To this nation.
But opposition seems to center in the
one line in the transatlantic trade that
now carries the American flag. This Is
a strange fact. This line receives an
annual subsidy of 100000 per ship for
four ships, or total OF $500. 900 year,
from the United States government II
Is the only line that carries the Ameri-
can flag across the Atlantic. There can
be no doubt hut that thousands and
thousands of Americans petronize that
line exclusively, just because 1t Is the
only American line.
II is an open secret that the ships of
the American line are crowded when the
ships of other lines are only partly filed.
during the summer exodus to and from
our shores. Doubtless this is a business
that is extremely valuable to the only
American line i'm the transatlantic trade,
but that alone was not what the postal
subsidy law was created 10 encourage.
IL was expected that there would be
several American lines established, and
when the republican, party comes for
ward with a policy that will undolbted-
~ build up several American transat-
lantic lines, the one line that now ex-
ercises the patriotic duty of carrying
the flag, and Incidentally the mails, for
100000 year, rises up and objects.
The one evil that was feared when the
postal subsidy act was passed was that
il would benefit individual lines and dis
courage general carriers. Does not the
opposition of the one American line in
the transatlantic trade indicate that
this fear was well founded? The cargoes
that come TO our shores from Europe
are small of bulk, but large in value. To
levy a higher duty on those goods when
coming here in foreign vessels, as is pro-
posed by the policy Endorsed by the re-
publican party, so as to induce importers
to employ American vessels and thus
escape that higher duty, will undoubt-
eddy lead TO the creation of more Amer
lean transatlantic lines. This is just the
very thing the American people most de-
sire.

CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
The Means for Prevention Are Very
Simple.

What does happen in appendicitis is
the following: The bowels are almost
invariably neglected and improperly
cared for. Focal matter accumulates
and causes various disturbances at diff
ferent points. Focal matter in liquid
state is absorbed by the tissues, of
which the appendix forms n part. After
getting into the cavity of the appendix
the liquid portions are taken up,
process which might be considered as
similar to evaporation from the out
side of the body, while the solid por-
ton, no longer held in solution, Is de-
posted, forming a concretion. This ma
terial, as you can well understand, has
more of the same constantly added to
il, till finally as a foreign body, 1t starts
up inflammation, which causes perfora-
ton of the appendix and all it's attend
ing complications and consequences
When these conditions are to be
present in your own case you will not
be able to tell, but you can rely on this
that IL you have the very bad habits
which belong to the masses of Ameri-
can people in respect TO eating, care of
the body, ETC., you are likely TO have
the disease at any time. Battle prop
erly, exercise properly, eat properly
and keep the bowels so free that you
cannot reabsorb your own cxcrement,
and the chances are that you will re-
main quite healthy and you will not be
obliged to call upon any of us to re-
move your appendix for you.

A MEDICAL journal says that in tho
continued use of the eyes, in such
work as sewing, tYpesetting. book
keeping, reading and studying, the
saving point is in breaking off at short
intervals and looking around the
room. This may be practiced every
ten or fifteen minutes BY doing this
the muscular tension is relieved, the
eyes are rested, and the blood supply
becomes better.
