TIE Review of Reviews.

The beginning Of new volume Of the
Review of Reviews is signalized by an
expansion of the name of that very sue
cessful and widely read periodical 1t
has now become the American Monthly
Review of Reviews, with particular en-
phasis on the first two words 1t seems
likely enough that the public will speed
lily fall into the way of calling this mag
aZine the American Monthly, for short
1t is announced, however, by the editor,
that the full and formal title will retain
the words Review of Reviews. The
magazine is especially devoted to public
affairs and topics of the time, and its
presentation of all such matters is con-
spcuously from the American point of
view. It's reviews and condensations
from American and foreign periodical
literature form n very acceptable part
of its monthly bill of fare; but mas
much as this work of reviewing the
periodicals. occupies very much less than
| half of the space OF the magazine, 1t is
obvious that the title Review Of Reviews
! comes far short Of expressing tho full
scope of the periodical. AS an ordinary
/ designation, the words American Month
ly will better fit the facts in the case.
Nevertheless great prestige and repu.
tatlon have been built up by years OF
hard work under the title Review OF
reviews, and 1t Is not intended that the
expansion Of the name shall result in
; the sacrifice of any part Of the recognI-
ton and credit that have accrued to The
name as It has stood hitherto. The
magazine continues under the ed,torshjp
OF Albert Shaw, and the public is dis
tinctly informed that the expanded titlr,
| appearing on the cover for July lin
plies not the slghtes! degree of change
in the plans. methods, aims, scope, cdi-
| torship, management, or control of the

CrIticising the President.

Editor Smith OF the Punxy Spirit
is not a natural kicker, aud usually
takes matters about as they come,
with now and then a mild protest de.
livered in a common sense fashion
and that frequently carries conviction
with it. But there is such a disposi.
ton nova days to "kick" on about
everything aud anything, and the
man "without kick a-coming" is
practically out of date. We fear,
therefore, that our usually even TEN.
pered, philosophical friend Smith has
been caughtup 10 this "kickers' wave"
that seems just now to be sweeping
over our fair land, and has been so
much carried away with it as to he
somewhat unreasonable in his criti
cism. He seems to have found reas.
on for criticising the President which
has not heretofore occurred to the
average kicker For instance he says:
president Mckinley is nice man,
and all that sort of thing, but he is
not above criticism. There are some
things for which be is responsible

namity to admit that cars were plen.

everywhere unused. Now look at the
condition of things Why, in many
places the car shops are running
double time to supply the demand.
And that isn't all. While we have

tate to express the view that q refusal
by the Republican members of the

Hoy Natural Gas Company Limited, for
the purpose of producing, dealing in,
transporting, storing, supplying and SELL

tons, or asso iations as may desire TO use
and purchase the same within the Coun-
ties of Venango, Clarion, Forest and War
rem in the Com. of PENNSYLVANIA, for the
period of twenty years from said date,
under the Act of June 2, 1874, entitled,
"An act authorizing the formation of

capital shall alone be responsible for the
debts of the association, except under GER

Low TARIFF advocates who were
talking about increased prices under
the Dingley law will be grieved to
learn that the net average increase in
prices of articles affected by importa'
tion is less than one per cent, while
the increased earnings Of those en-
ployed 10 the manufacturing indus
tries aud in agriculture, which de-
pends largely upon industrial activ

The English statistician Mulhall
has disappointed the free traders by
pointing out the fact that the expor'

AMERICAN manufactures continue
to be popular abroad despite the as
sertion that protection would make
them unpopular. The London Econ.
omist, of recent date, says that Eng
land is becoming a large purchaser Of
American manufactures, especially in
iron aud steel lines. and that English
manufacturers must cheaper theil
cost of production if they are to hold
their ground against the American
competitor.

Dun s REVIEW states that the pres.
ent business in the boot and shoe line
surpasses all records in shipments
from the East for November, being
27 per cent. larger than in the pros.
porous period of 1892, and that the
total for the year will probably be
the greatest ever known. The works
are running full capacity, and the
host of urgent demands would seem
to indicate an inability to satisfy the
demand.

NoTICE was given on November 5
that on Monday, November 8, the

dule Of wages is restored, this being
an advance of 5 cents upon the rate

ALL talk of "a world wide Tariff
combination against the United
States" is twaddle of the twaddlest
description. Reciprocity is the key
to the situation, aud that key our
Tariff provides for those nations that
have unfairly and fraudulently dis
criminated against US. The McKin.
ley Tariff contained this key. Let
all nations use it that desire to use it.

Wasted Sympathy.

We observe that free trade advo.
Gates are extending a large amount of
sympathy, strongly tinctured with
pity, on our own manufacturers of
silks and other products.
We are assured, for instance, that
divers and sundry European silk
manufacturers "who find their sales
in America curtailed by the exactions
of the Dingley tariff" are coming
here to establish factories $50 that
they may participate in the plunder
of the Consumers" We have had
enough of that Manufacturers com.
ing here to do business will have to
pay American wages, aud they will
lack that Intimate acquaintance with
the business habits and methods OF
this country that is essential to the
greatest degree of success.
As to "the plunder the cousum.
ers"-that is an old worn.out buga,
boo. Protection has cheapened the
cost of production in almost every
instance, aud the free traders ought
to have candor enough to admit it.
The charge of "plundering" has been
rofuted by thousands of facts 10 our
industrial history. America Six In
