PRoHIBITIvE DUTIES.
An Object Lesson ON the Elects OF
High Protection ON the
Farmers Income.

France is short of wheat, and there is
an import duty which shuts out compe-
tition, but the supplies of homegrown
wheat became so light that the French
cabinet suppressed the duty until July
1, in order to enable consumers to pur-
chase bread at more reasonable figures.
The result of this action has been to ad-
vance the price of wheat in the United
States and lower it in France.
The agriculturists of France were not
benefited by the high prices, for their
wheat crop had been short and the spec
ulators, no doubt, were making for
tunes at the expense of the bread eat
ers of the country, but the prospects of
competition caused them to relax the
grip they had upon the masses of the
people. It is said that France has only
enough wheat4o last a couple of weeks,
and that much of their own crop will
not be available until August 1, where
as the import duty has only been sup
pressed until July 1. The proba bill
ties, are, therefore, that the admission
of wheat free of duty may be continued
up to August 1.
Italy and Spain have followed the ex-
ample of France and also suppressed
the wheat import duty, so that Great
Britain now has France, Italy and
Spain as competitors for the surplus
wheat of the United States. Here are
four countries now to which our wheat
can be shipped, either directly or indi
rectly, without encountering a Chinese
wall in the shape of prohibitive duties.
The object lesson in this action of
high protective countries like France,
Italy and Spain is to illustrate the bene-
fits to the producer of this country, in
other words, the agriculturists, of the
admission into foreign countries of
their products without needless inter-
ference, and which can only be accom-
plished by legislation with that end in
view. This is land of plenty. We
raise more of the cereals and live stock
than we can consume, and, in order that
the producers may obtain remunerative
prices, foreign markets must be culti-
waited.
These foreign markets have not been
cultivated as they should have been, but
necessity has compelled them, during
the last nine months, to purchase more
largely their supplies of wheat in this
country, and thus give the western
farmers a practical illustration of the
beneficial effects of enlarged markets.

AN UNwIsE PROVISION.
ME-. Dtngley's Aversion to COmmexeo
Appears i'm the War
Revenue Bill.

One provision of the bill to provide
revenue for war purposes is of such an
obnoxious character that it is likely to
be stricken out by the senate. In gen.
eral the bill distributes the burden of
emergency taxation in a pretty fair sort
ofway. Butthe unconquerable aversion
to commerce possessed by Mr.. Dingley
crept into the bill in the shape of tom
mage tax on foreign shipping. 1t would
naturally be supposed that our foreign
commerce was sufficiently laden with
the Dingley tariff duties, without add
ing the weight of heavy tonnage duty,
which is in effect an addition to the tar
if rates. A representative of one of the
leading steamship lines has been in
Washington explaining the effect of
such a tax to the senators. To Senator
Allison he gave specific illustration as
follows:
"One Of our large freight steamers, the
Pennsylvania or the Pretoria, of S.1S9 tons
net, would be charged $1.627.S0 every time
she enters the port of New York, or, as
she makes eight trips yearly, this one
steamer would have to pay a tax of $13,-
022.40 per annum. This is simply enor-
nous, and will serve to prove the cor
rectness of the contention as to the in
traffic, and give an idea of the magnitude
of the intended taxation in the aggregate"
This tax would simply divert COM
merce from the North Atlantic ports to
Montreal, and the freight for the United
States would come down by rail from
Montreal instead of being distributed
from New York. This would be put
ting work and wages in the way of the
honAlo~C nd
roads, bringing stagnation on the ports
of New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
and make Montreal the leading port ON
the continent. 1t is to be hoped that
the senate will be wise enough to wipe
out this provision, which would not
only weaken us by robbing US of the
profits of commerce, but would inten-
sify the disaffection that the Dingley
law stirred up in many foreign nations.

FALLING PRICES.
Industrial Depression Follows the
Introduction of the Gold
Standard.

If the falling prices since 1873 has
been due to some cause other than the
demonetization of silver we should have
world ever. Yet, strange to the gold
bug, while in every gold standard coun-
try prices have disastrously fallen,
prices in the silver standard countries
have remained substantially stable.
United States Consul Whetmore, of
Shanghai, has prepared an index num-
ber table of Chinese prices showing this
fact beyond dispute; and the same has
been true of Mexico and the other silver
countries. But the most striking and
conclusive example is Japan. Up to
1897 that country had enjoyed the most
marvellous prosperity. Her export trade
increased from $5,OOO,oO0 in 1890 to ST.
1000 in 1898, with the annual balance
of trade of $5,00O,O0O in her favor. In
1897, however, Japan decided to become
"the England of the orient" and adopt
ed the single gold standard. What has
been the result? Prices have begun to
fall and industrial depression has set in.
The Til Shimpo, the leading paper of
Japan, in reviewing the first year of the
gold standard, says: eve can speak
only in gloomy terms of the year just
past. Commercial affairs and political
affairs reached their lowest depths of
depression and mismanagement. The
of the gold standard
proved a complete failure" And that
paper states that the balance of trade
is against Japan. Says Greater Japan,
a magazine published in Japan in Eng
lish: "The adoption of the gold stand
ard is the worst mistake ever committed
by the government in the long history
of 30 years that have been passed since
the present Meijji era began" And it
adds: MANY of the factories in the
western part of Japan are closing or
only running on half time"

NEW JERSEY LEADS.
In That State Farmers and WheeImcn
Work Together HnrmOniOusly iu
the Good Roads Cause.

The good roads movement appears to
have taken a firm hold on the public
opinion in New Jersey. The fact was
brought out at the hearing before Gov.
Eorhees relative to the road appropria-
tion and wide tire bills recently passed
by the legislature. The latter bill,
which is intended to encourage the use
of wide tires on road wagons, did not
seem to have so many advocates as the
bill to make good roads, though there
was no opposition to it, but there was
a singular unanimity of sentiment
among representatives of all sections
OF the state in demanding road improve
ments. One of them told the governor
that the measure was very popular
from a political standpoint, and the
governor showed that he was aware of
this by his reply that he could not COR
slider the measure in that way, but if he
did he would certainly sign the bill. 1t
is cheering to those who desire good
roads, and know their Importance in
the development of the community, to
find such evidence that whole state
has been thus aroused to their useful
ness and is so united in demanding
them. 1t is said that this gratifying
sentiment in New Jersey is the joint
work of the farmers and the bicyclers.
If SO, there are hopes that it will extend
rapidly to other states, since there are
farmers and bicyclers in them ALL

The SCIENCE oE NUTRITION.
A Great Deal Depends Upon Proper

THE END.

Great Deal Depends Upon Proper
Diet.
That we are in error in our food
economy is no longer vague theme
to be scoffed at by the thoughtless,
noticed lightly by the reader, ard be-
lieved in only by the scientist. 1t is
substantial fact, easily proved to those
who would be doubtful. Prof. Atwater
under the direction of the United States
agricultural department, has given to
the people such data in bulletins show
ing the result of his Investigations that
anyone of ordinary intelligence may
fully comprehend, so concise and COM
plete are they.
While there is yet much to learn
through Nperimentation, there is at
hand sufficient information to enable
us to make very important deductions
for personal use. We are told by the
best authority that we must come to
the realization that mot merely our
health, our strength and our incomes,
but our higher intellectual life, and
even our morals, depend upon the care
which we take of our bodies, and
among the things essential to health
and wealth, to right thinking and right
living, one, and that not the least i'm
portant, is our diet" 1t is our good
told that the science of food reaches to
every point on the line of battle for ex-
istence.-M. V. Shaler, in Chautauquan
