Protection Operates In Favor Of
Home Industry.

Home Industry.
Low-tariff men who prefer external
trade 10 any other kind do not relish
Mr.. Dingley's blunt statement that the
new tariff was made for Americans and
will not be revised for foreigners. But
II is applaudcd by every citizen who
knows how much more important TO
the welfare OF this country is thriving
domestic trade than a large external
one. and how much more wealth is now
involved in the support of the former
than the cultivation OF the latter. II
everything were subordinated 10 the
foreign commercial idea. this country
in course of time would fnditselfc chiefly
engaged in raising staples and exchang-
ing them for manufactured articles. in
which respect II would resemble China.
On the other hand. an impenetrable
wall, IL raised about the United States.
would inclose a marvellous and multi
plying prosperity. The embargo Of our
early days tied mp ships and rotted
wharves, 10 be sure, but the other effect
was 10 expand internal resources and
stimulate every form Of domestic en-
ergy. a manufacturing class grew up
which took the farm products that for
merly went abroad. Even Jefferson
Davis, n radical free trader. confessed
that the federal blockade had been a
blessing 20 the domestic industries OF
the south. Had the south won, and free
trade, which was established by its
constitution, not been given up, that
country to-day would be little more
than n barony, inhabited by feudnl mas
ters and their slaves, without progress
or real thrift, and counting as a com
mercial dependency Of England. We
want no tributary status, and that is
the reason why the experiment
with a low tariff was so shortliyed.
The United States has an internal
trade, which at the period OF the last
census amounted to seventy billions OF
dollars, the foreign trade at the same
time amounting 10 less than two bill
lions, or, TO be exact, 10 slice, 203, COS.
This was in 1890, time Of general pros
perity. II is this seventy billions OF
trade which we must look out for. We
cannot have both kinds and are forced

trader, If he had his way, would have
left America dependent upon Wales for
tin plate. That is 20 say, we should
have given an immense prosperity TO
the Welsh manufacturing district IN
exchange for articles OF common use
But protection stepped in and let's us
have the articles and the prosperity as
well. That is bad for Wales, but what
has that principally done to deserve a
self-sacriiicc at our hands of tens OF
millions of dollars OF domestic revenue ?
Enlightened self-intcrcst, the NOV
ing cause Of all material prosperity, app
proves the Dingley bill, and 10 seems
very doubtful now that any party
strong enough TO secure control of the
government will ever blind itself 20 the
truth Of that assumption. The world is
getting away from free trade, and is
likely to stay away. Even England Is
beginning TO adopt quasi-protection
for articles OF food when she is able to
produce in sufficient quantity for her
self.--San Francisco Chronicle.

Horatio Nelson was sent on a voyage in
q small ship to the West Indies. She was
probably scow. She was commanded by
Mr. John Rathbone, who had served ms
masters mate under Captain Sucking
Nelson was absent on this voyage about q
year. / confess, as one who has served un
der the red flag, that love to think and
am honored by thinking of Nelson as a
merchantnan. Indeed some of the finest
seamen and greatest heroes of naval story
have come out of our mercantile marine
But it is scarcely necessary to say this,
seeing that the merchant service very
greatly antedatod the establishment of the
royal navy. Even in Eliuibeth's time one
cannot think OF Hawkins, Frobisher, Drake
and the many other stars of that splendid
galaxy of SCH chieftains as queens men In
the sense that a royal naval officer is now
queens man. They were buccaneers
The merchants found them ships, dnd the
cinque ports and the longshore yielded
them crews, who were composed of >1ner
chant sailors. The navy grew out of the
mercantile marine, and, glorious as is the
white flag, not less honorable Is the red,
whether for it's memories of heroic combat
or for its faithful discharge of the duties
of that peace whose victories are not less
renowned than war r's.-Clark Russell in

to let those they converse with discover
that they do not comprehend everything
that is said to them, by which means they

remain in ignorance on many essential

tucky's Mineral Greatness.
The colonel from the Blue Grass who
had been about New York trying to gel
people interested below the surface of the
state was footing his trumpet In the Office
Of the Fifth Avenue hotel.
"Aw, colonel, come down peg or two,
won't youY exclaimed q scoffer. "I'm
perfectly willing TO grant that what you
say is true, for the figures are practically
official; but, granting that, there isn't
enough coal there for instance, to make
" worth while to spend money In build
ing roads tn get it out. Railroads can't
run on wind, and when the coal is all
mined what will the railroads do then,
poor things!" and the scoffer gave the
colonel the haw haw.
Others joined in with the scOffer, and
the colonel grew hot In the linen about
his neck.
"Let me call your attention to few fig.
ures," he said, taking 9 book out Of his
pocket "I have made these up from the
figures which our friend here says he Ia
willing to admit are true Now, won't
say word in this argument for anything
in eastern Kentucky except the camel coal
which Is there. There is, according to
these estimates, a camel coal area Of 4, 900
square miles, which Is under rather than
over. On much of this there are two and
three veins, running from "a to go inches.
But let us be modest and cut It down to
an average Of 80 inches. Now, the stand
ard of measure calls for 130 tons of coal
per inch per acre. Thirty six inches at this
rate means 1850 tons per acre. There are
$40 acres to every square mile, and there
are 1000 square miles, or 1850, 600 acres.
Multiplying this by 4,68O, the number of
tons per acre, we have an aggregate of
II, $50, 500, 900 TONS"
The scoffer began to show wrinkles In
his brow.
"This," continued tho colonel, without
a particle of Colonel Sellers in his tone,
closes only per cent In mining, so we
have for shipment IL, 421, 760, 900 tons
Counting 90 tons to the carload, this coal
would require 571, ,O8s, 900 cars, which, II
sent out from the Zines at the rate Of
1000 cars per day-that Is, 90 trains Of 80
cars cach-would require 1864 years and
9 months, a period of time quite long
enough, l think, for any reasonable man
to expect an investment to last.
"Of course" continued the colonel,
"these figures apply only to camel coal.
The bituminous area Is twice as large, not
to mention fire clay, petroleum. timber,

the scoffer, "stopi How much money did
you say you wanted us New York people
to put up?" And the colonel told him rs

which goes to prove that there are kings
and kings, and that they are not all
like the German war lord. "Walking

writes Mr.. Porter, II say an elderly
gentleman in a modest uniform, accom-

walking toward us. The pavement was
narrow, and we were on the inside.
Without giving us chance, this kindly
man, erect as an arrow, stepped from
the sidewalk into the street and saluted
our minister. military fashion We both
returned the salute and passed on. . It
was, of course, the king Of Denmark,
who loves to ramble unattended about
the capital, and who may be seen near

HIRAM DARTS REFUSAL.
why He Did Not Marry tho Charming

why He Did Not Marry the Charminx
Widow Breese.
When old Hiram Dart was in his.sev-
enty ifth year, the faithful old wife
who had been his companion for full
half century, sickened and died, and,
to the surprise and amusement Of his
rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth in
search of another wife before Hannah,
his first spouse, had been six weeks in
her grave. ,.5.
He made mo secret Of the fact that he
was . in the market and seemed sur
prised that the bidders were SO few. He
attributed this fact to the general lack
of taste and judgment in the 'wimmen
folks of the present day. s
They're a sfnicky lot anyhow, - said
old Hiram, San lit comes o. this fool
new wimmen idee..'
One day old Hiram drove by neigh
boris house all '.rigged up'' in his Sun
day best and with "a blue satin necktie
forming marked contrast to the bic
red geraninm in his buttonhole. He
tarried for a moment at his neighbo
gate and frankly confessed that he was
'goin, a sparkin.
The, object of this :amatory visitation
was the Widow Breese, 4who lived cover
Hebron way" and with whom old Hi.
ram was wholly unacquainted. Some
one had, in a spirit Of either malice OF
mischief, made old Hiram believe that
the Widow Breese, robust, we'll to dc
woman Of about go, would be inclined
to look with favor on Hiram's suit.
IAN it'won't be - harm done to gL
an see her anyway, - said Hiram, as he
drove away. ,5x
1t was nearly dark when Hiram reap
peared, far less buoyant than when he
went away. His neighbor was on the
lookout, and, hailing the old man, be
said: F..
~"Well, Uncle Hiram, did the Widow
.Breese refuse you?''
Mot much she didn It, y retorted Hi
ram spiritedly. II refused her. -
"You refused her? Why, what do
you mean, Uncle Hiram?''
Mean jess what I say. refused the
old-old-cattymount!''
''Why, Uncle Hiram, is that a re-
spectful way to speak about a lady?"
"a 'lady!' Humph, great lady old
Jane Breese is! You call woman
lady who sails into Teller with
broomstick an calls i'm IAN ole fool an
SIGH like names?''
"Did Mrs. Breese do that?''
"She jest did. 1 guess she'd got wind

'doosed myself an began to state my biz
ness when she flew at me with broom
