Not Making Much Progress.

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 it easy to do-they will be called
upon to convince the American public
that if 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 con-
vince the American public of these
things-Milwaukee Sentinel.

Let them go, since we cannot relive them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in His mercy receive, forgive them;
Only the new days are our own.
To-day is ours, and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn,

NOT GOOD CITIZENS.
Enemies of Protection Anxious 20 See
n D6ficit Pile Up.

No good citizen would care to see a deficit
pile up in the revenues out of q mere par
tisan desire to spite the administration or
Mr.. Dingley and his bill. The proof of the
Dingley pudding will be In the eating,-Bos-
ton Globe.
Then is must surely follow that free
traders are not, as rule, good citizens.
Certain It is that the enemies of protec-
tior, with scarcely amy exceptions, are
intensely anxious that there shall be a
deficit under the Dingley law. They
want to see a big deficit pile up, and the
bigger the deficit the more they will be
pleased.
But if, on the other hand, the law
should work out ample revenues in ac-
cordance with the careful calculations
of its trainers, these free-trade harpies
will be bitterly disappointed.
In such an event their last and only
weapon against protection will be sadly
hacked and blunted. For if protection,
besides bringing about a return ofpros-
perity to the business and the industries
of the country, shall also provide reve-
nue. sufficient for the needs of the gov
eminent upon the basis of reasonable
and prudent economy, what then will
become of the free-trade arguments and
theories?
No; it will not do at all to have the
Dingley tariff turn out to be a better
revenue producer than the Wilson free
trade alteration proved to be.
Free traders are extremely scarce
who can look toward such result with
any degree of complacency. They hope
for the worst, not the best.
Therefore, the Boston Globe is ex-
tremely uncomplimentary when it
says: mo good citizen would care to
see deficit pile up" 1t has long been
suspected that, in the strictest sense,
free traders were not good citizens.
That suspicion now becomesa certainty
in view of the Globes discriminating
ayowal.

Mutually Interdepepdent.

So long as America produces what
Europe needs Europe will buy it, pro-
vided she cannot get an equivalent value
for less money. We have resources suf-
ficiently large and soil and climate
sufficiently varied to adapt ourselves to
the worlds needs, and if unduly crowd
ed by competition in one direction shall,
find an outlet in another. There used
to be some Americans who fancied that
we could get along without abroad"
That was absurd; but not more absurd
than the idea that "abroad" can get
along without America.-Boston Jour.

morning; they had been found on the
sidewalks, under the doors of private
residences, in the yards of unoccupied
houses, in the mail boxes by letter-car-
riers, behind the counters of shops and
one in the coat pocket of Mr.. William
Roundtree, the mayor, who had declared
to reporter that it must have been'put
there while he was wearing the coat.
The wording of all the notes was ex-
actly the same, and ran as follows:
Nobody will ever discover who murdered
Richard N. Strong. 1t will be useless to
try. The secret lies in the smile on the
dead mans face. Who put 1t there, and
how was 1t done? These questions will
remain unanswered till the end of time.
But this is not all. Before long others will
wear the dead, white smile.
"ONE WHO KNOWS HIS BUSINESS"
Col. Warrenton hurriedly read the
rest of the sensational article, then
threw aside the paper, and went down
the street for two or three squares and
up to the Office of the mayor. He sent
in his card, and was admitted at once.
MIR. Roundtree was writing at his desk,
but he rose and drew chair near him
for his friend to sit down.

that you found it in your pocket?"
The mayor thrust his right hand into
the pocket of his sack coat. HE put

to you, but sent it to the police. I
thought it was the only one till read
the extra just now"
"How could it have got into your

tilrong of politicians, and at the corner
of Main and Broad streets was in a
crowd around the driver of a cab who
had been thrown against a lamppost
and considerably injured. 1t could have
been put into my pocket at any one OF
those places without my knowing it."
"What do you think ought to be
done" asked the colonel.

down at all COSTS" was the reply. Il

Lillian seemed to forget her anger in

and stood in the doorway. "As far
as that is concerned" she said, with
animation, WILDLY could have had an

thing the way he called up the police
at the telephone and remained with the
corpse till they came, not even allowing

to execute an original man. l never
could see why murderers should be such
short-sighted fools. | read the other

be insane month or so before he com,

done little things which would scarce

coupled with the crime afterwards,

Mrs. Roundtree. "What can make yor

The protection of American shipping

weakening of the policy by which it is
to be protected and revived, however im-
portant the diplomatic advantage that
would follow such a weakening. Pro-

ments, but because protection is neces-
sary to the upbuilding of our merchant

FOOLISH COMPARISONS.
How Free Traders Make Out a had
Showing for New Tariff.


Comparisons of the revenue-produc-
ing powers of the tariff law of 1894 and
1897 for the first four months of their
operation are the favorite stock-in-
trade of free trade sophists. They take
the best and the worst periods, respect
lively, of the two laws as their basis, and
are delighted at the bad showing for
protection. No one should be misled
by such an open-faced manipulation of
statistics.
The first four months of the Wilson
law of 1894 found the country relative
ly destitute of imported goods, for with
Dhe result of the election of 1892, when
the policy of low tariff and no tariff
was inaugurated, came depletion of
stocks to the lowest possible point in
preparation for the lower duties and
lower values certain to come.
With the Dingley law of 1897 the case
was Numerically opposite. Its first
four months found the country heavily
overstocked with goods imported under
the lower duties and no duties of the
Wilson law. The excess of revenue
from this source in the final four
months of that law amounted to $4s,-
100000.
Therefore nothing could be more pal
pably unfair and deceptive than COM
parison of revenue results in the first
four months of the two laws.
Yet it is this sort of stuff that the free
traders mainly rely upon to prove their
contention that as a revenue producer
the Dingley law is failure. Intellects
which are swayed by that kind of argu-
ment must be either immature, feeble
or in some manner defective.

and the Englishmen there are the Ger
