PORTO RICANS PLEASED.
British Consul There About the Only
Man Who Wants Free Trade.

A private letter received from an
talk of the hardships predicted to fall
upon the Porto Ricans following the
enactment of the tariff and civil gov
ernment laws for the island is moon
shine. In his letter he says:
The people here, Irrespective Of
caste or condition, hail the passage of
the Foraker bill with the greatest de-
light, and are now beginning to pre-
pare for a revival of business and
good times. There seems to have been
Il very grave misrepresentation of
facts made in the United States con-
cerning the wants of the natives and
business men of this island in 50 far
as it relates to the tariff. 1t is a mis-
taken idea that free trade is wanted
here. On the contrary the merchants
(99 out of every 100 want a small
tariff in preference, and in fact did not
at any time object to the p per cent.
first talked of. They are bright
to 4 heavy direct form of taxation, to
raise the revenues necessary to con-
duct the government of the island.
About the only ones desiring the ben
eft of free trade are a few foreigners
like Mr.. Finley, the British consul at
San Juan. who have bought up all the
sugar and tobacco in sight at low
figure, and have been holding the same
in anticipation of a free entry to the
States, thereby enabling them to re-
alize more largely on their invest

Small and Randall that he had no au-
thority to denounce their action; that
the Democratic party had not declared
itself on this subject in it's last Ea-
tional platform; and that in any event
they We're decidedly opposed to the
dragging of the shipping question into
partisan politics. They told him that
the shipping question was a busiress
proposition-a commercial question
Importance; that they so considered it,
and that they were quite ready to de-
fend their position at any time.
In these very favorable circum-
stances, for the Republicans to defer
action on the ship subsidy bill until
the Democratic National Convention
can be whipped into adopting an eX-
preston in its next national platform,
opposing Government aid for the up
building of American shipping, will
make it infinitely more difficult than
ever for courageous and patriotic
Democrats to support the measure. 1t
means to gravely inlperil, if not actu-
ally defeat, its final passage.
The prestige of Democratic success
in compelling the Republicans to de-
fer action at this season on the ship
subsidy bill-since postponement will
be regarded the country over as a
Democratic free trade, foreign ship
ping victory will make it all the
easier for them to defeat action at the
next session, and all the harder for
Republicans to secure favorable ac-
ton.
The opportunity of generation is
within the grasp of the Republican
leaders in Congress if they have the
courage to grasp it by passing the
shipping bill before adjournment at
this session.

Pearl button-making was first made
possible in the United States by the
Mckinley tariff of 1902. OF course
the industry was nearly destroyed by
the free trade Wilson bill of 1894. AT
ter further protection was given the
industry by the Dingley tariff of 1897.
the eighth biennial report of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics for the State
of Iowa says:
"a remarkable development of the
business was witnessed in 1898. no less
than thirty-siX factories being estab-
lished during the first six months of
that year
Seven towns in Illinois and six in
Iowa are centerS of button making. 1t
supports an important fishery, and as
the report says:
Besides the people thus directly
connected with the business, many
others in more than score of towns
are benefited. including merchants,
machinists, boatmen, draymen and
transportation companies"
Democratic free trade will kill the
pearl button business, throw lots of
people out of employment and injure
local trade and transportation.

suddenly, "why didn't you let me
know when you got that S15 mother

"Why, DEAR" answered Mabel,

And then the dear girl fumbled in

was the receipt.

a New Use for Balloons.

M. Leforey, French architect, has
applied captive balloon in the clean

can beraised or lowered from wagon

by stays from the side of the en-

The Murder of SIeen.

Speaking on the problem of city
noises, especially those which make
night hideous, the Westminster Re
view says: when prcventable noises
invade the hours of sleep the matter
becomes serious, for in this busy, har-
aSSing life sound rest at night is an cS-
sential to the maintenance of the work
ing powers.
"One of the most alarming concomi-
tantS of modern civilization is the in
creasing prevalence of lmacy and 9th
er nervous diseases. The cause is
doubtless to be found in the hurried
anxious lives that we lead, in the in
tensity of our studies. the fierce diff
culties of life with most of us How
many breadwinners, whether profess
sional men. business men, artisans or
factory girls, return TO their homes
day after day utterly exhausted by
their continuous labors. TO such I'M
disturbed sleep is the best of all tonics,
but this is often difficult to obtain. and
Its deficiency means impaired health or
even complete breakdown. The CON
traSt between the health and develop
ment of the agricultural laborcr and
that of the average Industrial opera
tive is due not alone to the ont of door
life and healthy occupation of the for
mer, but in no small degree to early
hours of retiring and quiet nights"
