PARIS EXPOSITION.

ny an act }, the nineteeth session
of the Nevad, Legislature, the Gov
ernor was empowered to appoint a
board OF three Commissioners to rep
resent the State at the Paris Exosi-
ton, to be held at Paris, France, A. D.
1900. No appointment was made en-
abling the Commissioners to collect
and maintain a mineral exhibit, and
there was grave apprehension as to the
possibilities Of the State being repre-
scented at all. This apprehension has
been removed by the timely action of
the United States Commissioners, who
propose to maintain the Nevada Ex-
hibit without cost to the State, accept
ing the exhibit at Carson.
1t is the desire Of the State Com
missioners that the citizens should lend
all the aid in their power in submitting
minerals from all sections of the State.
The samples should not be bulky, space
for exhibiting being limited. A bond
for the care and return of all minerals,
with a valuation placed thereon, will be
given each exhibitor. The collective
minerals Of mines in operation, unless
otherwise stated, will, at the close of
the Exposition, be donated to the Gov
eminent for a permanent exhibit in the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington,
D. C.
Strong cases with locks, and carefully
guarded, will insure the safety Of all
valuable minerals. so there should be
no hesitancy on the part Of the exhib-4
itor to help the Commission in showing
to the world the true value and won
derful mineral resources of Nevada. /
Z The Commission has been advised
by a representative Of the Government
Of the plan for classification Of the
minerals, and 1t viii be even superior
to that Of the Columbian Exposition.
The following instructions should ac-
company each ehibit:

1t Is only rational to look to results al

Grace has done He has glanced about
him in commercial ranks and he has
everywhere observed substantial evil
dence OF healthy growth. He has seen
the exports from the American facto-
ries. for which the tariff tonic va5 de-
signed, more than doubled during the
period Of which he speaks. He has
found every commercial gauge regis
tering high-water mark. and he has
come to the natural conclusion that
1t was because of the tariff and nr.t in
spite of 1t that the country has sros-
pered. That is the logical conclusion
and 1t is not at all improbable that

tn. Cotton MN. and Protection.

A wear or two ago there were many
complaints OF the declining cotton
manufacturing Industry of New Eng
land. but we are glad to learn from the
Springfield Republican that there Is
now a complete change for the better
that the mills everywhere are actively
employed; that prices are firm; that
the export demand Is good: that the
home market Is strong, and that the
business ia generally profitable. Mills
which had suspended dividends are re
suuing a distribution of profits. and
many others are increasing DIVIDENDS.
The Amoskeag's current semi-annual
dividend is per cent. against 4 per
cent paid six months ago and 2 per
cent In the first half OF 1898.
The Republican does not tell us
that this recovery OF prosperity on the
part OF the New England cotton mills
is due to Republican protection, as
that would be too frank an admission
for a Cleveland mugwump to make
but as the cotton mill prosperity has
come along with all the other indus
trial prosperity since the triumph OF
Republicanlsm In 1896 ana the enact
ment OF the Dingley law in 1897. II Is
fair inference that the adoption OF
the protective policy by the nation has
something to do with minneapolis

New Industries.

The newspapers have been pretty
busy recording the number of instances
OF the increase of wages and OF the
reopening OF factories since the pas
sage OF the Dingley law. They have
had hard task to keep track of them
all. but there is a harder task before
them. They will be Obliged now, and
in a constantly increasing number Of
cases in the future, to turn their at
tention to another phase OF the pros
porous times which have come to the
country-viz., the building of new
mills and the establishment OF new in
dustries. One commercial paper pub
lished in a single issue recently. in ad-
ditlon to its numerous reports of in
creased prosperity in different cases
OF industries already established, the
announcement of new pulp mill of
mammoth size in Wisconsin, a new
wall paper plant in Massachusetts and
a new fertilizer factory In Georgia.

Notb,ur to Lose.

The originality and boldness OF the
Iowa Democratic convention are shown
in the antitrust plank. The remedy
for trusts is the repeal of the protec-
tive tariff"-of the whole tariff. not
merely OF the duties on tpust-controlled
goods. This alone indicates with what
deliberation and thoughtfulness the
platform was framed. Is there DEM
ocrat who really believes that Iowa
will vote against protective tariff
and the paciflcation of the Philippines? 3?
The platform was drawn and adopted
by men who know that they had moth
ing to lose.-Chicago Evening Post

Tho Raising OF the uo,,vno,,,

Among the favorite gardening flow
ers, one of the most stately and strik-
ing in its effect is the hollyhock. The
soil must be good and rich; then
groups of these plants. well placed in
large gardens, may be made quite a
feature. An excellent effect is pro-
duced by using hollyhocks as back
row plants in herbaceous borders.
These plants can be grown easily
either by cuttings or from seeds. or
course, any special variety must be
propagated by cuttings. so as to obtain
true stock, but seeds saved from the
finest varieties will produce splendid
plants. When October comes the old
plants must be taken up and put into
flower pots, either to be wintered in
frames or in the house. where the frost
can be kept out.

In Ns.a of Some rrete.t.

The Democrats have been opposed to
protection ever since John C. Calhoun
decided that such a policy would best
subserve the slave holding cotton pro-
ducers OF the South. but 1t has never
occurred to them before to denounce
the tariff because 1t was trust pro-
ducing policy II it be sal hat trusts
have not before existed I. ny Often
sive or dangerous degree, the further
question can well apply. Why should
1t be assumed that the protective tariff
is In the least degree responsible for
trusts, II for almost half a century pro-
lection existed without causing or
creating trusts? We are perfectly
willing that our free trade friends shall
charge the floods in Texas or the cy
clone in Kansas as evil effects of the
protective tariff II 1t seems best for
them to do so. but the lines Of ordinary
possibility must not be passed II their
charges are to be seriously discussed

Al conrrrt "a protecllon.

The latest and most prominent con-
vert to the doctrine OF protective
tariff is Hon. William r. Grace. former
mayor of New York and a leading
Democrat OF national reputation. Mr..
Grace was for years one Of the strong
est free traders. standing in close SYM
pathy with Cleveland and Wilson. Mr..
Grace says:
II am not ashamed now to say that
in the light of recent events l have
completely changed those views and
now see. as | believe, clearly that the
amazing growth in all that makes for
permanently prosperous conditions and
in all influences that have SO recently
established the United States as first
power among the nations of the world.
not only politically, but financially and
commercially, is due in great measure
to the policy OF protection"
Mr. Grace says facts are stronger
than theories" and the facts of the
past two years under the Dingley law.
as compared with those under the Will
son law, are enough to overturn any
theory and convince Mr. Grace or any
other free trade Democrat.-Tacoma

So the wheel eoe. Round.

II is reported from Duluth that the
retail business OF that city Is double
what 1t was a year ago. This state OF
affairs has been brought about chiefly
by the largely increased purchases
made by the families OF wage earners.
There has been such a growth OF in
dustry in that vicinity that there is
said to be more work to be done than
there are laborers to do it. and the in
dications are that this condition OF
things will continue for some time.
with such n demand for labor, wages
are necessarily high. The high wages
mean liberal purchases on the part Of
the laboring men and their families.
and the retailers profit by 1t. They in
their turn make large sales for the
wholesalers and the increased demands
on the wholesalers make more busi-
ness for the manufacturers, and SO
the wheel of prosperity goes around.
The description of the state OF affairs
In Duluth reveals only a few links in
the endless chain" by which the pro-
tectlve tariff brings prosperity to the
whole American people.

Economic. Not Political.

The assumption that prominent
members of the Republican party are
more identified with trusts than the
leaders of the Democratic party is con-
trary to fact. The corporate interests
OF Messrs. Croker and w. C. whitney
have no parallel in the Republican
ranks. Senator Hanna, who is the
butt of all Democratic shafts against
capital, is mere dabbler in specula-
tion compared to Messrs. Whitney and
Croker. who. many hold, will dictate
the next Democratic nominee for the
presidency. When the public grows
familiar with the subject 1t will learn
that trusts are entirely an economic

What Might BE Done,

Another vindication OF high pro-
tective tariff has been found by a
Pennsylvania professor. AS is well
known. we maintain tariff on sar-
dimes for the benefit of the New Eng
land herrings. out OF which our 'sar-
dimes" are made. and now this profes-
sor announces that good asphalt can
be made out OF herrlngs. With the
maintenance of that tariff a few years
longer 1t would not be surprising II we
could make altar of roses and cross-cut
