AN IRREPREsSIBLE FREE TRADER

free traders who have become too old to learn AD from the events of the time to profit by the teachings of experience His free trade ideas have become monomania with him. Finding the general doctrine impracticabe this tne he is ma- ing last ditch fight for free trade in ships.
 In discussing the subject in the Senate the other day he bitterly denounced the recommendations of the President in favor of promoting the upbuidng of an American merchant marine by the construction of ships in shipyards He maintained that the existing navigation laws of the country are bad but that the adoption of the Presidents policy would make the system worse Warming to his theme he said
 Let the American buy his ships where he can buy cheapest Take off this relic of monarchy this miser- able legislation that prohibits American from buy ing where he buy cheapest Let him raise what he peases and carry it abroad in his own ship and under his flag"
 If Senator Vest were capable of learning anything from events going on around him he would perceive that the way of providing our merchants with the best ships at the lowest cost would be to build up American shipyards to compete with the foreigners few years ago steel plate imported from Europe to this country. The Republican party gave protec- ton to the industry, and we are now manufacturing steel plate cheaper than any nation in the world and are actually exporting it to Great Britain
 At the present time the material for ship building can be obtained cheaply in the United States than anywhere else. Give the American shpbuilder chance to build up his industry and without reduc- ing wages he will long be furnishing ships cheaper than the British The history of the steel plant indus try will be repeated and the protective system again vindcated
 By adopting the free trade policy proposed by Sen ator Vest merchants would indeed obtain ships l to carry produce abroad, but our labor would be unemployed and our money would be sent out o the country to pay for the purchased ships By adopt ing the Republican policy shall get the ships en ploy our labor and our money at the same time

if sustained will prove ample protcc-
ton to local merchants.
The merchants of New Whatcom
are registering vigorous protest
against travelling fakirs, clothing
fiends, pill and cure-all peddlers. At
the next meeting of the city council
an ordinance will likely be introduced
establishing a tax sufficiently heavy
that wandering sellers will give New
Whatcom wide berth.
Walla Walla has been moderately
free from fakirs owing to the high
license imposed and the vigilance OF
the city is being firm with all peddlers
and fakirs of all descriptions. These
men by their smooth talk generally
gull the public and reap rich harvest.
The license should be placed so that
none of these smooth people could
reach it and the public would feel con-
siderably relieved.

FakirS and License.
Walla Walla Statesman.

Various Washington towns have be-
come aroused ON the question Of
squelching the travelling fakir, and
are passing measures which will make
his life thorny one. Olympia has
put up the bars pretty high on this
class of trade demoralizers. An ordi-
nance has passed the city council im-
posing graduated license for tempor-
ary dealers in all lines, ranging from
$40 per day for the first ten days to
$3.50 per day for the third month in
business. A three months stay gives
a travelling concern the right to be
classed as permanent business house
and at the end of that time should it
still continue in business, the license
fee, which would amount to the neat
sum of $355, will be refunded. The
license will only apply to auction
stores and other migratory fakirs, and

CerVera'S Romance,

While no one would in the least de.
tract from that high sense of honor
manifested by Admiral Cervera when
he witnessed the daring deed of Hob
son and his crew and treated his
prisoners with distinguished Difference
for their exhibition of true courage,
his many admirers in this country
will read with pleasure a romantic
story now going the rounds of his
love for the daughter of an American
Senator, and may discover in it the
master motive of his chivalrous acts
on more than one occasion during
the present war.
1t is related that about twenty
years ago, when he was q naval at.
tache OF the Spanish legation, at Wash
ingtOn, he met and loved daughter
of an American Senator. He was
slender man, with a poetic face and
charming manner; and the girls of
Washington huttered around him as
brilliant-winged butterflies circle
around the gardens rarest flower. But
he had eyes only for the face of one
who was as pale and calm and far re-
moved as some bright, distant star.
And her voice alone had power to win
his attention. Perhaps it was because
she held her lips in such shy and
sweet reserve that he longed to hear
them speak. Most men are like that,
and Don Cervera was far more at
tracted by the calm looks of the Sem
ator's daughter than by the smiles of
her associates. He dared not speak to
her of love, so hedged about she
seemed with calm indifference, but he
was a nephew of the famous Castilian
admiral, Topete; his family dared
back to the proudest days of Spain
and now rich and mighty. So he
dared to dream.
One night at a musicale at the
house of Mrs. Fish, wife of the Secre-
tary of State, Cervera was asked to
sing. Emily, the lovely white-robed
beauty, was standing where he could
see the shining of her soft eyes and
the beating of tie satin-shod feet as
they idly kept the time of the martial
song. So he swept the strings of the
guitar fiercely for moment, then set
them vibrating with an indescribable
feeling as he sang of love.
The melody was pretty and the
words were full of pathos and passion
ate pleading and the singers heart
melted as his enraptured gaze fell upon
the face he loved so we'll. For q mo-
ment the guests were in dismay.
Romantic scenes are not desired for
drawing room entertainment. Then
the Senator's daughter rose and
slipped quietly away and the instru-
ment fell from the hands of the
wooer. When Don Cervera called
after that he was not received, and
many have forgot his Yankee love
story. But the gallant recognition of
Hobson's bravery in Santiago Bay
proves that the old-time love for the
Americans, which troubled the heart
of the young naval cadet, fingers in
the bosom of the grizzled admiral.
