burlap used in this country can be manu-
featured here. and a number of Philadel-
phia capitalists stand ready to invest
$l,0oOOOO in a plant for the purpose If the
proposed duty Is laid. OF course. other
capitalists would soon follow their exam
pie. and in a little while, as was the case
with tin, a new industry would be estab-
lished, employment would be given to a
large number of American workmens and
the money paid for burlap, instead of going
abroad, would remain at home. 1t is such
things as this that make the difference be-
tween a tariff formed on American lines
and one formed on Democratic lines.

The Hartford Courant makes an editorial
appeal for contributions to repair and place
in order an old cemetery in that city, and
publishes an alphabetical list of the persons
inferred there, as preserved by the Con-
necticut Historical Society. The interments
were made during the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, beginning as far back
as 1647 The surnames are all evidently
English, while the Christian names are
suggestive either of the simplicity of the
times of Puritanical origin. Plain, old
fashioned names of both sexes predominant,
and there are many biblical names seldom
heard nowadays outside of the pulpit.
Hezekiah, Hepzibah, Epaphrus, Zachariah,
Naomi, Jurusha, Abigail, Rachel, Barna-
bias and other scriptural names appear in
the list many times. Among those sug-
gestive of Cromwellian times are Prudence
Seymour, Deliverance Seymour Experience
Hinsdale, Thankful Collyer, and others of
like character. No wonder Connecticut be-
came land of steady habits and blue
laws.

Free-trade papers do not admit editoriaily
that confidence and prosperity are return

In taking steps toward the scientific in
vestgation and eradication of hog cholera
in Indiana, Governor Mount is doing a
service to the industrial interests of the
State that farmers can best appreciate,
but which will be felt indirectly by other
classes of citizens. The yearly losses from
this disease are enormous, and in Indiana,
at least, no systematic and general effort
has been made to discover the cause or the
remedy. each hog owner experimenting in
dependently and therefore at a disadvan-
tage. Governor Mounts practical acquaint-
ance with the farmers needs is likely TO
be of public benefit.

Not the least interesting feature of the
Christian Endeavor convention at San
Francisco will be the transportation of the
thousands who will attend it across the
continent and back again. There are many
men, still living, forty-niners. who
made their first journey to California when
the State itself was almost a wilderness
and when the overland journey thither was
accompanied by every kind of exposure and
peril. Now the State is the seat of a new
civilization and the great throng of people
who will attend this convention will be
carried back and forth across the continent
as comfortably as if they were in rocking
chairs at home and surrounded with all
the luxuries of modern travel The rush
is likely TO test the facilities of the rail-
roads as they have never been tested be-
fore, but American railroads have a way
of proving equal to every demand.

The vehemence with which the Demo-
cratic editors deny that times are improv-
ing may be regarded as a fair proof that
the times are decidedly better. They know
that nothing they can say now can hinder
the advance of prosperity, and therefore
feel perfectly safe in lying about the mat
ter for political purposes A while back,
when adverse talk had some influence on
business, they kept silent.

About the middle of May the American
Economist, a paper published in the inter-
est of protective tariff, sent out a circular
to the newspapers of the country which
were not on its exchange list, asking if
they would like to be and to receive protec-
tive tariff documents issued from time to
time. The result has been an addition of
1924 papers to the Economists exchange
list, bringing 1t up TO 5673. significant
fact is the large increase in all the South
err States of papers wishing to exchange
with the protection organ. The increase in
Texas alone is from IA to 100. The percent
age of increase in some other Southern
States is as large, but the number of news
papers in Texas is much greater than in
any other Southern State. These facts
show very clearly the drift of newspaper
sentiment on the tariff question and the
tendency to get On the American side.
