ConceaIment and Eva,ion.

The depression of the cotton manu-
featuring industry in New England has
been seized upon by the free trade
press as n sweet morsel to roll under
the tongue. With one accord they
gleefully point to the fact that protec-
ton has not proved potent enough to
prevent the lowering Of wages in the
factories of the Fall River district, and
hence protection is failure"
The fact of overproduction and the
competition of Southern factories
where wages are lower and the hours
of labor longer than in the mills of
New England are factors in the prob
lem which obtain no recognition; and
you will search in vain for any ac-
acknowledgement of the obvious fact that
it is directly due TO protection that the
cotton manufacturing industry of the
United States has reached stage of
development where competition lowers
prices.
Such has been the invariable history
OF protection; it has in no case failed
to stimulate competition and cheaper
the cost of production through the in
PRODUCTION OF improved mechanical ap-
planes and through the development
of higher degree of efficiency In labor.
1t is only by concealing the facts and
ignoring the logic Of the case that the
present condition of the trade in manu-
featured cotton can be used as an ar
gument against protection.

Moody on Sunday Labor.

There are one or two principles
which apply directly to the frequent
difficulties which meet the Christian

of "a Young Mans Religious Life" In
the Ladies' Home Journal. 'In Sun
day labor there Is n certain amount Of
work that must be done Of Sunday,
both for the needs and health of a
community. But In necessary work
It should be dispatched as quickly as
possible, and not be used as an excuse
for unnecessary work.
when the Lord ordained a day OF
rest II was for mans best interests,
physically, mentally and spiritually,
and any man who barters the day Of
rest TO crafty the selfish interests Of

needs for the welfare Of his soul, as
well as his body, at least one day In
seven to devote to its special needs. I
know, from personal experience, that
no man can work seven days In the
week, not even in religious work, and
do the best work he Is capable Of,
either for God or man. And have no
right to take from my neighbor what I

A CURIOUS PEOPLE.
French Have Vanity, but Not Pride,

French Have Vanity, but Not Pride,
Religion, but Not Morality.
1.-The French must be the most Gu
rious people ON EARTH" writes Lillian
Bell in letter from Paris to the La
dies Home Journal. How could even
Heavenly ingenuity create more I'M
common or bewildering contradiction
and combination? Make up your mind
that they are as simple as children
when you see their innocent picnicking
along the boulevards and in the parks
not trust yourself to hear what they
are saying. Believe that they are cyni-
cal, and fin de steele, and skeptlcal of
all women when you hear two men
talk, and the next day you hear that
one Of them has shot himself on the
grave of his sweetheart. Believe that
politeness is the ruling Characteristic
of the country because man kisses
your hand when he takes leave of you.
But marry him, and no insult Is too
low for him to heap upon you. Believe
that the French men are sympathetic
because they laugh and cry openly ut
the theater. But appeal to their chival-
ry, and they will rescue you from one
discomfort only to offer you worse.
The French have sentimentality, but
not sentiment. They have gallantry,
but not chivalry. They have vanity,
but not pride. They have religion, but
not morality. They are combination
Of the Widest extravaganza and the
strictest parsimony. They cultivate
the ground so close to the railroad
tracks that the trains almost run over
their roses, and yet they leave Place
de la Concorde in the heart of the
CITY,"

The spring demand for merchandise
has already set In, II we are to judge
by the bank clearings Of the country,
which gained 1915 per cent. last week,
the largest gain for long time. This
Is MI the more encouraging In that It
Is not often that this demand sets In so
early. 1t usually makes It's appearance
about the first of February. and for
several years has not appeared at all.
There Is evidently n general disposition
TO go into business much more heavily
than usual, which Indicates confidence
in the future. Indeed, Bradstreets
Financial Review says that both spec
uiation and Investments have been ac-
tive during the past week. The best
feature of the market has been the
very heavy dealings in bonds at gen.
orally higher prices, both for the high
grade and new end more speculative
classes. Transactions, rising as they
have to $34,0OO,0OO or $35, 100000 Of
bonds on the Stock Exchange, with the
trading distributed among an unusual
ly large number of different issues,
would indicate large demand for in
vestments and the growth of confidence
in regard to the position and future Of
the market"
One of the leading reasons for this
augmented business on the New York
Stock Exchange Is the marked increase
in railroad earnings, which were over
$43, 100000 in December, gain Of 1913
per cent. over 1897, and which, in fact,
were the largest earnings in the history
of American railroads. The iron fur
naces also report an increased output,
and orders in this branch Of trade are
unusually large for this time Of the
year. The wooden manufacturers are
also buying wool heavily and have a
rush of orders to fill from now on. The
cotton manufacturers, on the contrary,
have been overlooked by excessive pro-
duction, and find no increase in the de-
mand or gain in prices. The CONNER
cial failures continue to decrease, those
last week being 1923, against 479 for the
same week in 1897 and 412 In 1896.
Wheat exports have fallen off, owing
purely to the usual holiday dullness in
Europe, and not to any decrease in the
demand itself; but corn exports have
increased 100000 bushels during the
past week. The distributive trade
Throughout the country is good, and
whatever tendency Is exhibited in
prices is upward rather than down
