There was a man who. after inherit.
ing a fortune. thought 1t would be
profitable to get away by himself and
ruminate.
So he went into the woods, and he
took his money and many books with
him, and he ruminated and he studied,
and in time he learned all his books by
heart, and the philosophy of life was
revealed unto him.
Now, when his beard was long and
white and his back was bent, lie took
the wealth that he had carried into the
woods with him and returned to the
haunts of men to do good with it. But
it came to pass that sharp Aleck got
the philosophers money away from
him, and the people hooted when he
applied to them for redress.

the philosophy of life and be not up to

A Case of Badly Misplaced Civiiity
by the Younger Woman.
If anything rolls a woman, it is to
have some younger woman get up and
offer her a seat in a street car. This
misplaced civility infers that the elder
woman is to be considered on account
of her age, when, in fact, there is little
difference in years between the two.

She was dressed in deep mourning, but
a bunch of violets in the front of the

by merriment lurking in her mouth
and eyes. The lady grasped a strap
and looked out of the window. Then

car intended to offer his seat, rose and
leaning forward touched the other on
the arm, saying:
won't you have my seat?"
Are you going to get out?' asked

What He Needs.

Here is a bright and shining exam
pie of the protection afforded consum-
ers by competition. Without the Dos
chers and Arbuckles there would be no
cheap sugar. With them the fangs of
the sugar trust are drawn, and instead
of a monopoly it is only large cor
poration in competition with smaller
ones, which have the power to regu-
late prices.
What Mr.. Havemeyer seems to need
is not SO much modification of the
tariff as law prohibiting any one but
the Havemeyer combination manufac-
turing or selling sugar. From his ex-
hibitions of monumental gall and self
ishness, it is wonder he has not urged
such action by congress.-Tacoma

ruptcy was rife and great numbers Of
workingmen were deprived of employ
ment and with their families reduced
to want.
Third.-Tbat as soon as Mckinley
and a Republican congress were elect
ed and protective tariff was assured
business at once revived and the coun-
try entered on a career of prosperity
that makes it the envy of the rest OF
the world.
Cause and effect are so closely linked
in this matter 1t is impossible to escape
the conclusion that protection and
free-trade are responsible for the re-
suits described. They were the only
factors in the problem, and it will be
idle to seek to make it appear that the
trouble was due to the standard, or ap-
prehension concerning the currency.
The attempt will be made, however,
but there is every reason to hope that
the American people will not be led
astray, but will intelligently conclude
that the policy that brought prosperity
before 1892 and restored it in 1897 Is
good for the country and should be
permanently maintained.-San Fran

of the Occur d'Alene miners for inter

the testimony by witnesses who had
testified before the coroner's jury on
the death of Smith and Cheyne. killed
on April 20th, the day of the alleged
obstruction of the mails.
The ground taken was that the de-
fense had been refused access to the
records of this proceeding and there
fore defendants were deprived of the
opportunity TO use evidence given
prior to the present testimony for pur-
poses of impeachment, and that If the
records We're ON hand, they anticipated
no trouble in showing that some of the
witnesses We're false or mistaken in the
statements made in court. The de
fense introduced ten witnesses in an
attempt to prove alibis for the prison
ers.
To-day many witnesses We're intro
duced by the defense and testimony
was presented to show that all the
prisoners except one was engaged in
other business. ard not present when
the mill was blown in: that they We're

The White Star steamship Oceanic.

New York, is the largest ship ever
built She is 704 feet long, which is 13
feet longer than the famous Great
Eastern. Her engines have $4,000
horsepower, or more than twice that
of the st. Paul. and they drive her
through the water at a speed of 2S
knots an hour. She made her first
trip in six days and two and half
hours. This is not record breaking
time, but the Oceanic is not intended
so much for speed as for regularity of
passage. Her owners anticipate that
her trips may be scheduled almost like

RET"RN OF CONFIDENCE.
1t Came About Solely Through the Res
toration of the Policy of Protection.

toration of the Policy of Protection.
Some people are foolish enough to
believe that the present happy condi-
ton of affairs is attributable to the
restoration of finsocIal confidence, but
it requires no special acumen to dis
cover that this confidence rested on
the belief that protection would set
the wheels of industry in motion. If
the fact were otherwise 1t would long
since have disappeared, for it must not
be forgotten that there has been I'D
monetary legislation since the election
of President Mckinley and that our
monetary system remains practically
in the same state that ii was when
Cleveland falsely held 1t responsible
for the disasters which the carrying
out II his un-American free trade pol
icy brought on the country. 1t is true
there is a largely increased stock of
gold in the United States, but no legis-
lation touching the standard or man
ipulation by the treasury has brought
about that result Protection did it by
largely increasing the favorable trade
balance. By diminishing our imports
and increasing our exports we nave ac-
cOmpllSHGQ WHdL no leSdl IeSuAdlloh
of the standard could have accom-
plished. By sticking to protection we
have kept out of, or at least lessened,
our Indebtedness to foreigners, and
thus we have made it impossible for
them to force us to yield up any more
of our gold than we find it profitab BILE
or convenient to part with.
Protection is entitled to credit for
this result, but its enemies, under the
guise of monetary reformers, are seek
ing to obscure the fact. They will not
succeed, however, because the Ameri
can people are acute enough to discern
these facts, which stand out plainly:
First-That in 1892, when protec-
too was in full blast, "the business of
tho, country was in provokingly
healthy condition.
Second.-That during the years
while free-trade was impeding and in
force. that rs. between the fall of 1892
ana 1896 a disastrous depression set
