1t is curious fact that most of the
expansionists of this country are pro-
tectionists, but while they desire to
impart to far distant peoples the
blessings of free government" with
out stint, they do not desire them to
enjoy the advantages of free trade.
They want the wall of protection to be
reared between the United States and
these foreign possessions, as firmly as it
has been established between the
United States and other nations Of the
world.
The cry Of the protection pack was
let loose when President Mckinley, in
his recent message to Congress, recon-.
mended that all tariff barriers be re-
moved in trade intercourse with our
new possession, the island Of Porto
Rico. Now, this Recommendation was
peculiarly appropriate, because Porto
Rico is one of the few foreign posses.
sions to which we have clear and
undisputed title. 1t is ours by virtue
Of the right Of conquest in war with
Spain, to whom the island belonged at
the time, and war, also, that had
been legally declared by the Congress,
and was not the personal product Of
the President. But because tho Presi-
dent recommended free trade with
Porto Rico, the protection pack let
loose a mighty yelp, and has been in
full cry on Mckinley's trail ever since.
But how the protectionists can get
away from free trade with Porto Rico,
with Hawaii, and with the Philippines
also, after the latter shall have been
subjugated into United States terri
tory, it is hard to conceive. Under the
Constitution of the United States,
Congress will have no more right to
levy tariff on trade intercourse be-
tween these possessions and the rest Of
the United STATES than on trade inter-
course between the territories of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico and the various
States Of the Union. The Constitution
distinctly specifies that "all duties,
{ imports and excuses shall be uniform
throughout the United States'' Porto
Rico is now O territory Of the United
States, and SO is Hawaii. And SO will
the Philippines be, according to the
argument of the expansionists, after
they shall have been completely subju
gated. But We must not have free
trade with these territories, the ex-
pansicnist nroteotionists wildly declare.
Expansion is ono thing, and free trade
isanother. But how are they to get
away from the dilemma?
This is about the only encouraging
feature in connection with our miser-
able policy of expansion. INT should
tend to break down the evil policy Of
protection, it will have served one good
purpose and afford compensation for its
manifold evils. In this connection, il
would be somewhat of measure CT
retributiye justice.

Economical observations. Teiegraphy,
which alone would have conferred upon
this century marked distinction, has
become an important and Indispensable
factor in the fold of astronomy, and
the ever increasing discoveries within
explanations which before baffled the
keenest rninds. Within this century all
the numerous small PLANETS, called
Asteroids, or Planetoids, OF minor
planets, have been discovered,
and nearly every year has added
to their number. One of the
greatest triumphs of mathematical
astronomy-the discovery of tho planet
Neptune, was achieved in this century,
and OF the fixed stars. especially the
double and variable stars, we have
gained within this century far more
accurate notions than those that pre-
vailed at the end of the previous CEN
fury. The delicacy of astronomical in
struments has gained a perfection which
verges on the marvellous, and in this
| respect this century far outstrips all
| former ones. Through the immense
facilities of printing far greater dis
| Hemination of the sciences has been
| effected, and the knowledge OF many
things that in former centuries was the
exclusive property of few has extended

A sample of the new steel mail boxes recommended for use along the routes of the rural carriers has been exhibited at the postc flee by Postmaster o. F. Dun- combe. The box Is made of steel and is about IS inches wide, foot deep at the back, with slanting cover, which leaves it about six inches deep in front.
