SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED.

1t is astonishing to see the amount
of foreign advertising materials. es-
pecially in the line of enamel and lith-
ograph signs, which are used through
out the country. American consumers
can very easily put stop To the use
of foreign advertising matter by pat
roniZing those who use that which is
produced at home. AS is well known.
all signs usually carry an imprint
showing the country where produced.
and as the Administrative law of 1890
provides that it is necessary To show
the country of production. our readers
can assist in giving the protection in
tended by the law by withholding
their patronage from those who use
foreign advertising materials.
The art of pictorial and ornamental
advertising has reached in America Il
stage of development far beyond that
of any other country. There is no
need of patroniZing foreigners on the
ground OF either quality or price. 1t
Is practice which should be very gen
orally discouraged.

Reviewing the course of British
trade for 1898 the London Economist
says:
Our exports to foreign countries fell
off by f3,551 900, and on this side Of
the account. also, it is the trade with
the United States that is almost solely
accountable. That country paid us
only f14,4OO000 for our products, as
compared with f21, 100000 in the prev
lous year. The biggest falling off was
In the worsted and wooden goods. the
value of these being about f2,2OO, 900
less than in 1897. There were heavy
decreases in other textiles, in tin
plates, alkali and more or less in most
Of the articles separately classified.
They are taking these heavy de.
creases in trade quite philosophically
over there. Believing them to be in
evitable. our British brethren look
with resignation upon the loss of $780,
100000 of sales to and the gain of a
sill larger amount in purchases from
the United States. The only people
who seem to be worrying about the
matter are the American Free Trad.
ars, who cannot endure the thought Of
their own country constantly growing
richer as the result of selling more
than it buys.

cheapness is to govern our people in

come to our own shipbuilders, instead

HOW TO PLEASE ENGLAND.

We are informed that Tariff revi-
sion would be accepted by England as
the one indisputable froof of the
friendly sentiments of the United
States 1t is easy to divine the sort of
Tariff revision England would re-
gard as "indisputable proof of the
friendly sentiments of the United
States" Nothing short of Il Tariff
which would be virtually Free-Trade
measure would be acceptable to Eng
land. Our Anglomaniacs are aware of
that fact and are quite willing to Sacri-
iicc Protection in the interest of a
closer union with the country of their
love. If their leadership prevails the
Republican party will turn it's back on
the principles for which it so long bat
tied and become simply political or
SaniZaton to advance British interests
in this country.
Let us hope that the party of Abra-
ham Lincoln and of James G.. Blaine
Will never sink so low as this To-day
the advocates of Imperialism, and of Il
British alliance, are the. enemies in its
ranks whom it has most to fear They
are willing to sacrifice all the traditions
of the party to carry out their plans,
and it will not be at all surprising if in
the near future they demand that the
policy of Protection shall not stand i'm
the way of these plans. New York

While the Dingley bill does NOT hin-
der our export trade it does work to
discourage the importation of compet-
ing foreign goods. In consequence of
this the imports for 1898 were the
smallest for twenty years and showed
a decrease of $1O1 .673,12 over theNim-
ports of 1897.
That represents nearly n hundred
and eight millions retained tO promote
busines in this country, an average of
about One-third of a million d day for
The year. Who can tell how much more
business was done and how many more
hands were employed in this country
on account of this $107, 7,673121? That
amount of money is capable of doing
large amount of business, and there
Is no doubt that it did do q large
imount of business. 1t has helped the
prosperity of the nation and was
factor in the increase of all kinds of
business in the United States last
year
The Dngley law does not keep out
oi the country goods the people do not
manufacture and which the people do
not need. This is shown by the fact
that two-hfths of the total imports. or
ABOUT S24o,OO0,OOO worth, came in free
of duty.
The Republican policy is wise
policy. 1t opens American markets to
foreign trade free for all necessary ar
tlcles which do not compete with
american manufactures. 1t preserves
It's own interests by taxing all other

WHY. INDEED ?:

1t would seem from the tone OF the
Democratic papers now that there was
4 time when American manufacturers
needed Protection Circumstances
forced the confession from them Hear
what one of them says:
manufactures are eXpanSioniSts.
They want TO expand American COM
merce. All of which would seem to in-
Iicate that they don't need Tariff Pro-
lection.
The Inference is that there was n
dmc when the infant American manu-
facturers did need Protection Just as
American labor needs Protection now.
Why did not these papers and that
party advocate Protection then instead

CASUALTIES IN THE ARMY.
The Total Number of Kill ed and Wounded
and Deaths From Disease Dur
ing the Past Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Surg. Gen.
Sternberg's annual report gives COM
prehensive view of the health of the
troops on the field and at home, the
casualties and losses in battle and hos
pital, the care extended to the sick
and wounded, and other interesting
information relating to the physical
welfare of the army. Gen. Sternberg
says it has been his endeavor that the
sick and wounded should be supplied
with every comfort and restorative
and the surgeons with every appliance
that modern science would suggest
in the treatment of disease and in
jury.
The total number of deaths in our
armies, including regulars and volun-
teers. from May 1, 1898, to June so,
ed in battle, 2l6 killed by accident. 2O2
died of gunshot wounds received in
action, 2.774 from typhoid fever, 476
from malarial fever $50 from pneu-
monia, 342 from diarrhea and dysen-
terry, and 1S5 from yellow fever.
As to food supplies, Gen. Stern berg
says he considers it wise to go slow in
changing the army ration until ex-
perfence has show just what changes
are assurcdly desirable. He refers to
the agitation over canned roast beef
and refrigerated beef an d says at that
time there were on file only t wo COM
plants as to the beef supply.
The only critici SIN made by medical
officers, he says, is that the ration for
the tropics should have less fat and
more starch and sugar.
The report recommends an increase
of the medical corps and the estab-
lishment of camping grounds through
the country ready for troops when
they are modified.
