Protectionists maintain that the pro-
tective policy. by insuring American
capitalists against foreign competition,
has led them to embark their capital.
and has enabled them to build up large
enterprises, in which thousands OF
wage earners find employment. 1t Is
for the free traders to show wherein
this contention is unsound. When they
have done this-and they have never
found II easy to do-they will be called
upon to convince the American public
that II protection had not been the pol
icy of this country our capitalists
would have been equally enterprising
and equally successful, or else that
some other equally valuable results
would have been obtained. And though
the free traders are numerous. and
though some Of them are able. they do
not make much progress in their efforts
to convince the American public Of
these things.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Wilson tariff cost the people OF the
United States over $1,000, 100000. Four.
months of the Dingley tariff have nett
ted deficiency of revenue amounting
to about S35, ,0OO. 600. Against the lat

protection has showered upon the
country in the shape OF increased

products. increased work and wages,
and increased operations In every line

cred that steady rice diet is promo

therefore the Japanese authorities have

given some attention to the matter
that as sanitary measure the rice
ration in both the Japanese and Chi

duced and replaced with -four. The
further result will be largely Increased

century women spent most of their
time alone. almost entire strangers TO

such public diversions and amuse-
ments ~ the fashions of the times

who introduced women ON public days
to court; before his time nothing was
to be seen at any Of the courts OF Eu-
rope but gray-bearded politicians,
plotting the destruction Of ths rights
and liberties OF mankind, and warriors
clad in complete armor, ready to put
their plets In execution. In the thir-
tcenth and fourteenth centuries eIe-
gance had scarcely any existence, and
even cleanliness was hardly consid-

"Shoddy. 25 cents per pound" Such
is the stalwart provision In the new

WOODEN rags and wastes of all Europe
can be crowded upon this country to
debase the standard of goods used In
every household. Shoddy is the name
Of the poorest refuse OF its kind. In
the last year of the Mckinley law its
Importation reached only 14S.00O
pounds. But the Wilson law sent up
the importation In 1895 to 14.000, 600
pounds. in 1896 to $4,000. 900 pounds
and In 1897 to $4,000, 900 pounds. It
was high time to call halt ON this
curse upon honest manufacturing.
More than half = pound Of shoddy for
every inhabitant of the United States
was brought to our shores In the last
year Of the Wilson law. and is sure to
reappear somewhere in fabrics pre-
