increased activity and increased profit
during McKinIey's administration as
compared with the previous low tariff of
Cleveland's administration In these
benefits the South has fully participated
and shared equally with the North. All
this progress, improvement and profit is
due mainly to the Republican protective
tariff, operating according to the fixed
gold standard.
The change Of opinion among the
Southern business men in regard to the
principle of the tariff and other funda-
mental business principles during the
present campaign has been wonderfu1; in
fact, quite revolutionary.
In West Virginia the feeling in favor
of protection is very strong; in fact, the
inha bitants realize that the Republican
tariff coal and iron has been the max
ing of the State The farmers of the
State also appreciate the rise in prices
of farm products, which they see is due
not so much to bountifaI crops as to a
good market for those crops. The re-
cent tremendous increase in the foreign
demand for American coal is also appre-
ciated at its full value by the West Vir-
ginia people. and they are fully aware
that it has been rendered possible by the
protection afforded to home products by
the Dingley tariff
The banking house of Hambleton &
Co of Baltimore, all Of the members of
which are prominent Democrats. have
come out with a circular to their clients
and correspondents all over the South,
in which they advocate the defeat Of Bry-
and the reelection of Mckinley, on
account OF the great benefits TO the South
which have accrued from the workings
of the Republican financial and CONNER
cia1 policy during the last four years.
In brief, section of the country has
had a larger share of the general pros
perity during the present adElinistra ton
than the South. and it has been due main
~ to the operation of the Republican tar
if and currency laws, as the Southern
business men understand and &C
knowledge Never before in the history
of the United States has the output OF
the Southern iron ore and pig-iron. luIn-

been in the past two years: and not for
years. If ever. have the prices been SO
high Never before was SO large pro
portion of Southern products shipped
from Southern ports Never before has
money loaned there at such low interest
All this has occurred under the gold
| standard and the protective tariff A few
years ago the South had practically NJ
manufactures: IT has now over $1,000
COO. 600 invested in factories. paying over
$3.50 100000 in wages, and producing be
tween $1,000. 100000 and 8. 600. 600. OOC

has been secured under the present ad-

Our occupancy of Cuba and Porto Rico
has assured us of the greater part of the
trade with those islands. The influence
for good has not stopped there, but~it
has extended to all the Spanish-speaking
countries Of America Inquiries from
these countries for American goods and
nanufa ctC"es arc becoming more numer-
Gus every day.
1 wish to say right here from my own
knowledge of the business men in Cuba,
and from what they have said to per-
sonally, that 1 sure that their conf
dence in alone was what made them
continue business on the islands and feel
that there was future for them With
out exception the business men from
Havana and other cities in Cuba have
stated frankly to that if the United
States should withdraw entirely from
Cuba they themselves would feel obliged
to go out OF business: that all business
confidence would be shaken.
Speaking especially of fabrics manu-
featured from cotton, think how impor-
tant it is that find new markets for
cotton goods Of the nine to twelve
millions of bales of cotton produced
in this country two-thirds of it is ex-
ported and made up into cotton cloths
abroad The expectation of the raw ma
terial in itself Is an immense factor in
our foreign trade and commerce, but how
much better it would be. instead of send
ing two-tiiirds of the raw cotton abroad
and using one-third in unanufa curing
goods in this country, to export one third
and use two-thirds here, exporting the
finished product. thereby doubling the
number of our mills and factories and
giving employment to twice the number
of operatives
1t is not probable that will ever
gain very much Of foothoId on Chinese
shores. for it does not seem to be the de-
sire of the people of this country at large
that should expand tie that extent.
But we have the Philippine Islands, prac-
! ticalfy forced upon BY circumstances.
which in the near future will prove to
be of the most valuable territorial
acquisitions that we have made since the
original thirteen States We're organized
Not only we. in time, supply the
seven or eight million inhabitants OF
those islands with practically every thing
that they do not raise manufacture
themselves. but we the islands
as steppiEg-stoUe to Asiatic countries.
The majority of the large Hongkong and
Shanghai houses already have branches
IN Manila- : well representatives IN
New York, this viii complete the chain
Of commercial intercourse between this
country and China
What need to expand trade and
commerce with other countries is broad
and liberal policy by this government
such the present administration has
adopted.

(By Hon. N B. Scott, United States

The South is the citadel of Democracy
in this country; it has also always been
the citadel OF free trade. Twenty-Five
years ago a protectionist Southerner was
almost white blackbird- The
overthrow of the old Wing party had
practically eradicated that element of po-
iitical society in that section
But since then great change has been
gradually going on. The growth of pro-
sectionist sentiment in the South durin e
the last quarter century is one OF the
most important developments of recent
political history.
1t is fact susceptible of ample proof
shat whenever have had a protective
tariff the whole country, North and
South. has prospered, and whenever we
have had low tariff, practically free
trade, the country has suffered from hard
times.

Turtles Trained to Fight.

You want to go to China to see ami
NAL fighting reduced to science.
There are hundreds of young men in
the larger cities there who make lv-
ing by training animals to fight and in
exhibiting their savage qualities to in
terested audiences. They catch both
mud and swapping turtles, feed them
on raw meat and some sort of drug
that warns them up, and at the end Of
six months they become savage enough
to fight tiger. The jaws and teeth
are fled and sandpapered until the
mouth becomes a dangerous thing to
60 near. The turtle Is tantalized each
day with piece of wood or bunch of
cotton until its temper reaches a white
heat When confronted with another
turtle that has been trained and badg-
cred in the same way, they go for each
other with distended jaws, and there Is
sure to be fight to a finish.
They have each been starved for a
week. Each is handled by his owner,
who has teased it to the killing point.
The two turtles are then placed in a
small ring, and only one comes out
alive. The fight lasts from one to ten
hours, and death generally comes only
when one of them has secured throat
hold on his doomed antagonist.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

The Army IN the Field

The layman cannot easily realize the
vast amount Of material as to food and
ammunition demanded by an army in
the field. A few facts and figures as
to this may aid to make 1t more tangi-
BILE. Each man requires, at a mini
mum, three pounds and q half of food
per day. Each animal should have at
least 20 pounds Of food In countries
where grazing is not abundant. II we
take, for purposes Of estimate. only Is
pounds required to supply each animal,
leaving FIVE pounds to be gathered from
the country by grazing and otherwise,
we assume quantity that may be con-
sidered minimum.
An army of 10000 men would re-
quire about $4,000 apimals for trans
portation of artillery, camp equipment,
ammunition, food, hospital and med
ical equipment. There should not be
less than 10000 cavalry. There should
not be less than 10000 animals avail
able at all times to supply losses. This
makes a total Of 10000 animals to be
fed. With this as basis we see that
the daily demands would be for the
men 625, 900 pounds and for the horses
1,35o,000 pounds, or an aggregate Of
1,S75.OO0 pounds. This Is equal to
something more than sa8 tons per day.

The Two Rom.o.

Joe Jefferson told this story: David
Garrick' and Spranger Barry were both
playing Romeo at the same time in
London Barry played it at Drury
Lane on the Monday and Garrick play
ed it the next night at Covent Garden.
and the town was divided as to which
was the greater Romeo-in fact, there
was quite great excitement about it,
and they acted 1t upon such different
lines and with such marvelously differ
ent conceptions that the people argued
the case as to which Shapespeare In
tended. The fact Is that Shakespeare
intended 1t to be acted we'll, and IL
one mans temperament suited it best
TO act in that way it would do for an
other temperament the other way.
$50 they asked Mrs. Siddons, who
was the Juliet alternately with the
same Romeo, which she considered bet
ter of the two, and she said: TT is diff
cult to say; they are both wonderfully
great, but 1 will tell you how they
impress me in the balcony scene. In
the balcony scene Garrick seems so
eager, so intense and so full of fire and
spirit that I'm afraid he'll jump up in
the balcony to me, and Barry is SO low
able and fascinating that I'm afraid
shall have to jump down from the bal
copy to him."

The Blood on the Knife.

For the last ten years." said a Gu
rio dealer in the Old Quarter, "a broad
bladed dagger with an imitation bronze
handle has been lying among lot of
odds and ends in that corner showcase
1 don't know where it came from, but
l probably got it when buying some
collection. At any rate, the other day,
while looking over my dead stock, it
occurred to me it might be FURNISHED
up and used as paper knife. l took
it out, scraped the handle little to see
what it was made of and then laid it
on my desk to attend to customer
When picked 1t up again, was as
founded to find the blade dripping with
blood. 1t seems childish thing to tell,
but the incident was so grewsome and
apparently inexplicable that 1t set me
trembling like a leaf In a moment,
however, my common sense came to
the rescue, and what proved to be the
correct explanation flashed into my
mind.
ut was trick dagger, for use either
on the stage or in some secret society
mummery, and the hilt contained q
hidden reservoir for artificial blood.
In scraping the side 1 had pressed a
spring which opened little valve, and
out came the gore, still fluid, after all
these years. l afterward found that

Bank Washing Day.

In some banks there is a regular
washday every month, usually at the
beginning, when a clerk may be seen
bent over tub and rubbing real mon
ey up and down a washboard. The
dirty greenbacks that have been saved
up for a month are soaped and rub
bed just like handkerchiefs and socks
and are run through a wringer before
being put out to dry. The paper cur
rency may be handled somewhat
roughly, as it does not tear because
there is in it great deal of silk and
linen. After the notes have been
passed through the wringer they are
hung on line stretched in the bank
clerks department. Said one clerk
the other day: 81 wash about 100 notes
every month, and when I'm done you
can hardly tell them from new money.
The washing strengthens as well as
cleans the notes. s."-Philadelphia Rec

One Was Enough.

That illustrious astronomer, Profess
or Simon Newcomb, in an article on
Science and the Government" in The
North American Review, gives an
amusing instance of the ignorance even

British academy had printed few cop

ton to some foreigners who, from their
prominence In the scientific world. were
best entitled to be honored with the

royal, was requested to make a selec-
ton Of the names. A few days after
be had sent in his list he was Informed
by the secretary of the admiralty that
my lords were struck by the number
Of unknown names included and that
they wished to make an inquiry on the
subject. Airy asked the secretary for
some specifications as to the names re-
ferred to.

Crabs In oysters.

''The demand for that little southern

larger than the supply, and 1 have all
can do to obtain the 30 or 60 gallons
which are daily required for fiavoring
Btews and making omelets in the lead

In New York to a Washington Star
writer. Our northern oysters do not
contain the little dainties, SO 1 am
obliged to buy them from the oyster
phuckers along the York, Rappahan-
hook and other southern rivers. The
Chesapeake bay shore oystermen send
US some also.
'The little crab found in the oyster
Is not, as commonly supposed by two
thirds of the oyster eating community,
the young of the blue crab, but is
distinct species. 1t is a messmate of
and caterer to the wants Of the oyster,
being therefore a benefit instead of a
detriment to the latter. In return for
the oysters kindness in protecting it
against its enemies the little crab
catches and crushes food which in its
entire state could not be taken by the

with them is that all found inside Of
the oyster are females. The male Of
