Death from Poisoning.

In number of murder trials held
within the past couple OF years there has
been n great deal Of testimony from
chemical experts, so-called, TO show
that poisons were found i'm the system
OF sufficient quantities TO produce
death. Many n man has gone TO the
gallows because traces OF poison have
been found i'm the stomach Of some
body for whom he was known to have
an ill-will. How many innocent people
have been sacrificed on the altar OF
ignorance only the recording angel will
ever be able to tell 10 is established
past IA shadow OF question that the hu-
man system Is a most complicated labor
atory, and that under given conditions
the organization can, out OF strictly
innocuous matter, produce the most
virulcnt poisons. Indeed, this process
OF poison-making is going on all OF the
.ime. Al the same time there are coun-
teractiDg influences mt work aud
neutral elements which convert all OF
these poisons into benevolent matter.
" for an instant the health producing
machinery should stop work, the
amount OF poison turned into the blood
might cause death at any moment. I'm
view OF these facts. what is ordinarily
called expert testimony in murder
trials needs to be taken with great
many grains of salt.-N. Y. Ledger.

AMERICAN COTTON TRADE.


According TO = report TO the British
foreign Office by Mr.. Garden. her ma
jcsty's consul at Mexico. the trade in
foreign cotton goods in Mexico, though
IL does not represent nearly as large
a percentage of the import trade as IL
did In the last decade. is still an impor-
tant factor OF IL, averaging from 10 TO n
per cent. of the total imports.
In spite OF the exceptional activity of
the local cotton factories In the past
year Mr.. Garden states that the impor-
tations of cotton goods were very con-
sidernbly in excess OF those OF the pre-
vious year. the value in 1896 being re-
turned at 6 i,042,662. as against 1885,
O10 in 1894. This must be ascribed
partly TO the great increase of purchases
in the country districts, due TO the
more prosperous condition of the lower
classes, and partly TO the fact that
since the rate of exchange became more
settled merchants commenced 10 re-
place their stocks, which had become
practically exhausted.
Prints and bleached and unbleachcd
goods continue by far the most inn
portant branch of the cotton goods
trade. Notwithstanding the improve
ment noticeable in this direction in
1895, as compared with 1894. there can
be no doubt but that foreign goods can
no longer compete as they used to with
local manufactures, and are slowly but
surely losing their hold on the market.
In piece goods, classified in the customs
tariff as textures "other than smooth"
such as cretonnes, drills. etc, foreign
manufacturers still hold their own.
The only department in the trade in
which an improvement is really observ-
able, as compared with former years. Is
that Of goods entered at value. of hich
the principal article is cotton thread,
the import Of which in 1895 amounted
10 e13s.206. England controls nearly
90 per cent. OF the American cotton
trade, the United States 25 per cent.
and France 10 per cent.

Kinicy Idea Is Trade Suppression.
IL is a little surprising that the New
York World should take such one
sided view of the tariff question as IL
does. In an editorial, "Dingley and
Trade Suppression" in it's issue OF Jan
uary G, II said;
The trade suppression r. the Dingley
idea, as ~ was the Mckinley idea: but Il ~
not tho American idea. and the American
people will not be long In showing u.
We cannot understand why it should
make these statements in the face OF
the fact that the largest foreign trade
this country has ever had was i'm 1902,
under the Mckinley hill. The total ex-
ports and imports in 1892 were 1857
Gs0,GiO. The next largest trade was In
1891. when il was S1,729. 1907, O06. The
largest exports we ever had were in
1902. when they reached $1,000, PTS, las.
The next largest exports were In 1881,
under the Morrill, tariff BILL before the
duties were sensibly reduced, when
they we're 5000. ST. $40.
Our exports during the four years of
Harrison administration were S6si,-
13G,714 more, our imports were S577,-
b20.372 more, and our total foreign trade
was 81 ,25s. G55 ,OsG more than during the
four years OF Clcveland's first admins
tration.
The exports of this country during
the first three years OF IIarrison's adj
mnistration were $225.243,7u more
than they were during the first three
years OF Clevcland's present adminis-
tration, ON imports were SOS ,55S
more and our total foreign trade was
Si33.507 200 more. And that Is not all.
An examination of the reports of
commerce and navigation through the
whole history Of the country shows
that our trade with foreign countries
has always been larger under protec-
ton than under n free trade or revenue
tariff. Tho reason for this is because
protection promotes our manufactur-
ing industries. gives our people more
profitable employment and better
wager, and. having more money. they
buy and use more Of both home and
foreign products. Our own resources
nrc utilized, our trade. foreign as well
as domestic. Is cnhanccd. and we always
grow rich faster under protection than
we so under the democratic free trade

III the republican party fostered no in-

bilities to every concern that failed.
During this democratic administra-
ton there has been, in round numbers,
an increase OF 5000 trade failures every
year, of $SO,000,00O of liabilities every
year, and the average Of liabilities has
increased by $4,000 to each failed con-
Germ. This last point shows that the
democratic party has succeeded in hit
ting the "robber barons" below the belt,
because many larger businesses must
have succumbed under the continued
onslaught of democracy upon American
industry. Let the republican party low
cr its banner and meekly give place to
the emblem of democracy, floating be-
fore the breeze. upon which we read

Those very eloquent figures which
show that, while the Wilson act has
yielded I'm round numbers only $780,
100000 OF revenue in the 20 months OF

nished $3.50, 100000 in the same length
