pRoGNosTICs THAT FAILED.

During the discussion of the Ding
ley bill in Congress. one of the most
direful prophecies Of the Democratic
orators,-;ind the Democratic editors
Of the country promptly disseminated
the assertions.-waS that Protection
was ruiEous to foreign trade. The en-
actmcnt OF the law would kill our ex-
port of mapufacturers. What about
this prophecyp Are these statesmen
and orators and editors going about
pointing with pride to the fulfillment
of their representations; The Ding
ley law was enacted. and vet the year
1898 was the banner year in the his.
,tory of the foreigit commerce of the
country. For every dollars worth Of
foreign merchandise bought by the
United States. was sold and exported
two dollars worth of American pro-
duets. And this sort of thing did not
stop in 1895. In March. 1899, the ex.
ports of manufacturers were S36.O25,-
133. as against S2S,214, ,450 for March
of 1898. 1t is Il good time for Republi-

A significant dispatch comes from
London. 1t states that. although an
American tender of 10000 tons of steel
rails for Cecil Rhodes African rail-
way was not accepted owing to a
formal irregularity, the price was many
thousands of dollars lower than that
OF any of the English bidders.
When in 1865 and 1867 it was argued
by the advocates of Protective Tariff
that the United States with proper
legislation could manufacture event
ually steel rails for all its own rail-
roads at lower price than they could
be purchased in Europe, this conten-
ton was ridiculed by the Free Traders.
1t was said by those opposed to the
Protective system that Tariff on
steel rails would prevent the rapid
construction of railways in this cOun
try. and would greatly increase the
price of all steel products. But a
Tariff law was enacted, and special at
tention was given to our iron and steel
industries. The production of pig iron
increased in the Tariff period from
931 ,5S2 net tons in 1865 to 5,1IS, l22 net
tons in 1889. In 1867 we manufactur
ed 1000 tons of steel -ails. In 1882 we
manufactured l. ,46O,920 tons. No other
country in the world showed in that
period such rapid growth in steel in
dustries. No other country showed
such activity in railway building. In
1865 we had $4,000 miles of railway in
this country. In the period following
the enactment of the Tariff law, or up
to 1882, the mileage was increased
to 10000. The Tariff on steel rails
not only decreased the price. but
sti inn, 1.,tn ht,il
The first BesSemer steel rails made
in the United States We're rolled at the
Chicago rolling mills. May "a, 1865.
In 1874 the total production of steel
rails was 129.414 tons. In 1890 the
production was 1,S67.S37 long tons.
After the panic of 1893 the production
was lowered somewhat. but in 1896
we produced 1,11G.05S long tons. In
the same year Great Britain produced
S11,476 long tons. Our exports of iron
and steel increased from $14 1S5, 900
worth in 1871 to- $4S,670.000 worth in
1896. Under the Dingley law our eX-
ports of steel rails increased from o.
263 tons in 1896 to 101,D1 tons In
1897, and 229.1S:, tons in 1898. For
the nine months ending March 81 the
exports were 19 .016 tons.
Tho price of BeSsemer steel rails in
the United States in 1867 was $166 per
ton. After the enactment of the Tariff
law this was reduced gradually to $94
in 1877. to $40 in 1892, to $24.33 In
1895, and sales were made as low as
SIT. There has been in the last two
years encouraging increase in our ex-
ports of iron and steel, particularly in
structural iron and steel rails.
American contractors secured, over
English bidders, the contract for the
great bridge across the Nile ut Khar-
toOm. In competition with the Eng
lish manufacturers they have sent
steel rails to Russia and other Europ-
can countries. and even 10 England.
In rails for street car lines the Ameri-
cans compete successfully with all the
manufacturing nations Of the old
world.

theories thai can wipe them ont Of eX-

JOHN |. BLAIR DEAD.
Career of Remarkable Man and a

New York, Dec. 4.-John l Blair, the
famous railroad builder and owner, and
multi-millionaire, of Blairstown, N. j.,
is dead He was in his ninety-eighth
year.
The career of John |. Blair was a re-
markable one. From penniless boy,
the son of II struggling farmer, he be-
came one of Americas financial kings,
achieving success as a merchant, bank
er. railroad builder and owner, and coal
and iron magnate. He hardly knew
himself the extent of his wealth. In
a litigation in 1889 he was asked under
oath what he was worth.
II believe" he said. blnshfng and
stammering, that I am worth sonle-
where between 81 900 600 and 5000, ,000"
1t is likely that several more millions
have been added in the ten years since

To Cool Food Without Ice.

The problem of cooling food
quickly without ice has at last
been solved by a German house
wife. How often this is required
every cook knows who has made
her custard late and wants to have
it cool without melting all of the
ice in the ice box. The device in
vented is so simple that it is won
der that it was not thought Of long
ago, and in fact the principal has
long been used by the inhabitants
of South America who are not yet
well acquainted with ice machines,
The plan offered is as follows:
Remove the pot containing the
custard, for instance, from the fire
and pour the contents into bowl
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-10-05

or pitcher that will hold it. Then
wrap cloth that has been soaked
in cold water around the pitcher,
covering all of the outer surface.
Stand the vessel in window
through which there is a draught
and the evaporation of the water
in the cloth will cool the custard
more quickly than if il had been
put into the ice box and melted all
the ice. 1t is surprising how
quickly the food to be cooled is
reduced in temperature by this
method, but it is one SO simple
that one can try it for herself the
next time she wishes to cool any
thing rapidly.-Ex.

than a man that though. at the time
of the wedding they may not look mis-
mated. or feel SO. either. but a few
short years must elapse before the
husband finds that his tastes and in
clinations are absolutely youthful in
comparison with his wife's. and that
she is an old oman while yet he IS a
young man. A woman of so and a
man OF 80 % not seem so unequally
matched but let ten years more be
added and the man of 40 is only a boy
in comparison to the woman of 60.
Not that the disparity OF actual years
is any greater. but he is only in his
prime. while she has passed that bor-
der line that marks the division be-
tween middle and old age"

ACES AND MARnIAoE.

Can There BE Happiness When tn.
wife Is the Old dsr?
The prevailing epidemic of marriage
among women older than the men
whose names they take was produc-
tive of decided discussion at the din
ner-table, says the Philadelphia Times,
Certainly, three such clever and beau
tiful women as Patti. Langtry and
Lady Randolph Churchill are examples
IN favor of such matrimonial selection,
but whether the humdrum courtship
of everyday life ends more happily in
such an arrangement of years is
question. One lady, whose intellectual
acumen is unassailable, declared
strongly in favor of such alliances
quoting many instances in her own
acquaintance where the wife was older
than the husband, and where such
union resulted in the greatest mutual
happiness. II believe" she said, that
when a man marries a woman older
than himself he finds in her the truest
sort of counselor, and a real compan-
ion, who spurs his ambition without
retarding his efforts by her desire for
over-much petting. Such wife real
lies that the baby act on her part is
foolish and therefore refrains from in
dulging In that clingins dependence
that in a young wife is pardonable,
but which generally pals after awhile.
A difference of five or six years is
scarcely a difference at all. and even
when twenty or more years loom be-
tween the husbands and the wife's
age, the latter being the elder, | see
no reason why !he marriage should
not be a thoroughly congenial and
happy one-infinitely more certain to
be So than If the wife were twenty
years younger then the husband"
This was one argument The other
side of the question was taken by
young married woman. who is but five
years the junior of her husband.
such marriages mean misery gener-
ally to both but always to the wife.
A woman grows older so much faster
