CHAPTER V

AS the sailor said, II am Charles Car
pcntcr. from l'rankfort-on-the-Odcr,' he
drew. from his breast pocket Il wallet. and
slapping it on the table, covered it with
a tattoocd hand. and sat down again.
''You are David Cheatiam-I take it!"
he said, turning %brusqucly to the lawyer.
That is my name" responded Cheat
ham; his lips puckercd and his brows
knitted with the expression of one vain
ly trying To recall something that clules
his memory.
Very we'll. sir: l answer the descrip-
ton of your advertisement" said the
sailor.
But YOU are not Il Gcrman..'
did you say you wanted II German"
and the sailor smotc the table with the
paper.
And You are not so young Il man as
! wanted"
Then why did YOU not specify tie age
you wanted this Charles Carpenter TO
be? Are You still playing lodges, David
Chcatham? Is this another trick to en-
trap some duDe!'
The sailor sprang to his feet, and his
bloodshot eyes seemed turning into fiery
globes as he fastened them on the ashy
face of the lawyer.
Cheutham clutched at the edge of the
iiMateeee, and licked his lips. and cough.d
'hDaSscly, and tried to speak, but the err
ifortawas Intellectual.

piled:

BY the best figures obtainable it ap-
pears that the farmers of the country
paid owe $SCO,GC0,O00 in the shrinkage
in the value OF their live stock alone
as u part of the price of the election to
the Presidency of Grover Cleveland on
a free-trade platform in 1892. Most Of
this loss they have made good since
free trade received Il knockout blow in
1896 and protection returned to its W
again. If the farmers have more money
and more prosperity now than they
want and would like to get rid of some
of 1t, the surest way in the world is to
vote for Bryan and free trade this fail.
1t wouldn't take long under Bryan and
free trade for live stock to become Of
as little value as it was in the days of
Cleveland. But if. OH the other hand,
the farmers of the country want to
keep what they have and to add to it,
they need to stand by the policy which
gives the American market to the
American people. and which: by bring
ing work and money and prosperity to
the industrial workers of the country,
creates Il strong home demand for the
products of the farm.

mento and. promise Of. an extra session
of Congress- is brandishing a torch to
'kindle wars, and offers a. premium. for
the daily assaults in the Philippines
upon American soldiers who are, by
Mr.. Bryan's. fatal necessities of futile
policy, presented a. the instruments. of
a ruthless %despotism and that We are
warning in the Philippines to change
the way of our republicanism and char
acter of III government and make it
imperialistic. Bryan's extra session, l
believe, promises, If the November cleo
ton approves it, more wal and anarchy
after Mr.. Bryan's election, and guerrilla
warfare until that time. The session
to be held by Mr.. Bryan would be :n
open door," not to commerce in the
Orient. but to European intervention i'll
the Philippines. III seems n surprise
that Mr.. Bryan should have riskpd his
ease on Il state of facts in the Philip
pines and did not know what it was.
He has read Pettigrew's Senatorial in
tericctions of irrelevancy into the Rec
ord. ald has accepted the sinister COM
p!lation as a veritable history.
Mr.. Bryan has broken himself by
that blunder.

Printed vs.. Verbal advertisements.

There are still occasionally to be seen
Il few merchants who insist that their
stores are so well known that they do
not need to advertise. Admitting, for
the sake of argument, that their asser-
ton is true in every particular, how did
their stores become known. and why
do they remain known? By reason Of
the fact that they were and are adver-
tised verbally by their customers. But
that sort of %notoriety cannot keep any
store abreast of the times: and, in bust
ness, not to go forward is to go back
ward. The merchant who would keen

The sout1,.s Political Folly.

The growth of. it's textile industries
OF late years makes it necessary for the
South to forget dead issues and look to
the future of its business interests in
its politics. The more sensible bust
nesslike politics of the North have al
ready saved the South from severe
losses which it would sustain under
Democratic free silver aud frec-trade
policies.
But the question for thinking mel in
the South is. Can it afford to rely OH
the North indefinitely to protect II
against it's w political folly? Isn't it
about time the South exercised some
political Judgment itself? How long is
it going to follow blindly in whatever
the Democratic party dictates, IRE
spective of it's growing business inter

Colorado Will Conc Back.

In 1894 Colorado mined a lot of silver
and only $9,491,514 in gold and was
crazy for Bryan and 1G to 1. In 1898
she mined gold to the value of $23. 1885,
800, and will unquestionably come. back
to the Republican column; where she
belongs. Colorado has become a great

Easy to Understand,

There are some people who cannot
understand why stocks went down
when Bryan was nominated four year.
ago and go up now. That is easy.
There was really some danger that he
might be elected four years ago., and
there is not a particle of suspicion eve
that he will do any such thing now.-

.Protecticn and Progress" by John
u. Young. is u work just from the press
of Rand, McNally Il Co.. New York and
Chicago. The title may suggest an
argument in reply TO Henry George, but
the work is not directly controversial in
character and only Indirectly touches
on any OF Georges themes. 1t is n
newshnd valuable study of the economic
basis OF the American protective tariff
system by q student whose marked
ability for original Investigations and
luminous discussion of economic ques-
lions was demonstrated in his work on
''The Manufacturing Industries Of
Japan and "Bi-Metallism or Mono
Metallism." This work is of greater
Importance and interest than either of
those, and. indeed. marks a distinct adj
vance in the discussion of the question
of protection versus free trade. a strik-
ing feature is the chapter showing
trusts and m%onopolies to be the natural
outgrowth of free trade. Equally sue
cessfully in attacking another delusion
the author shows the wretched blunder
of economic theories which persistently
look to the interest of the consumer
and overlook those of the producer.

In Spite of the Walls of the Demo.

Commerce between the United States
IL Porto Rico has developed rapidly
since the new act went into effect on
May j, 1900. Imports into the United
States from that island have increased
30 per cent owe those of one year ago
and are three times as great as the
average when Porto Rico was Spanish
territory, while exports to the island
have increased nearly $50 per cent over
one year ago. and are nearly five times
as much rs the average when Porto
Rico was Spanish territory. During
the month oil July, whose figures have
just been completed by the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics, the exports from
the United States to the island were
500, 800. against $2D6,466 in July, 1899,
and $156.2296 in July, 1897. Taking the
entire three months in which the new
act has been in operation. May, June
and July, the exports to the island We're

responding months of 1899. S4S5.279 in
the corresponding months of 1897, and
SS393,.25 in the corresponding months
of 4eJ6. On the import side the figures
for July, 1000. were SG4O,02a, against
$44S,2G7 in July, 1893. $145,273 i'll 1897,
and S2254,G5G in July, 1896.
1t is apparent, therefore, from an eX-
animation of these figures that imports
from Porto Rico in the. three months
operation of the new law are fully 80
per cent i'll excess of those for the or
responding months of 1899, when the
island WAS under the American flag,
but the former tariff relations yet I'M

times as much as in the corresponding
months of the closing years of Spanish
contro! of the island.
The following shows the commerce
between the United States and the isl
and of Porto Rico in May, June and
July of each year from 1896 to and in
Guiding the year 1900, and enables a
comparison of the trade of the first
hrce months under the new law with
tl.e corresponding months of each year
in the term covered. No comparison is

A NEW PARK ENTRANCE.
TO BE OPENED AT SIXTY SIXTH-ST. AND
CENTRAL PARK WEST.

Since the announcement of the filing of plans
for the new Durland Riding Academy, which is
TO be built in Sixty siXth-st., Central Park
West a number of details interesting to horse
men have been decided upon. The entrance for
equesuians through the Park will be located at
SiXty-siXth-st.. and will communicate directly
with the bride path. 1t has been felt for some
time that the people are entitled to another en-
trance to the Park, and that point will, it is
thought, prove a popular selection. President
Clausen has assured Mr. Durland that the new
entrance will be furnished. 1t will make neces-
sary the removal Of part Of the wall but the
expense ana work entaied in the Improvement
will be more than Offset by the advantages that
will result. 1t has not yet been determined
whether the new entrance will provide for a
caIriageWay.
The new riding academy in its interior ar
ran9ements will include number of desirable
features that are not present in the old
one. On one floor there will be eight dress
Ing rooms, of fair size, that will be rented by
the season to families, for private use.
In the Women's dressing rooms there will
be not only abundant provisions in the way
OF. hot and cold shower baths but porcelain
lined tubs as well. Similar provision will be
made for those who use the downstairs public
rooms. The dressing rooms will contain four
hundred lockers and there will be g. drying
room for clothes. This latter feature will pro-
vide the means by which clothes may be re-
turned to their owners, few minutes after they
have been DOTTED, in a dry and well aired con
dition.
Three floors of the building will be given over
Tor carriages and automobiles, and a plant will
be maintained for charging the horseless vehi-
cles with their motive power 1t may be added
that only the electric automobiles will be ad-
mltted INTO the building. There will be room
lor about three hundred vehicles in the space
provided and as a part of the carriage space
IS to be on the fourth and fifth floors, electric
elevators will be installed to carry them I'D and
down The arrangements for horses include
four hundred stalls, Among the organizations
that VIII be located at the new academy are the
