ASlATIC FREE TRADE.
Is What the Imperialist Policy
Means.
OPENS THE DOOR TO CHINESE.
The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and
All the Standard Legal Authorities
Uphold This View.

Ihe powers OF cOngi eSS are reclted IN
Section OF Article l Of the Constitution
Of the United States. The first paragraph
OF this section covers the taxing power Of
the government, and is as follows:
"The congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes. duties, imposts and
excuses, to pay debts and provide for the
common defense aud the general welfare
OF the United States, but all duties, i'm
posts and excuses shall be uniform
throughout the United States"
This clause Of the constitution will force
the Mckinley administration to abandon
it's colonial and imperial policy or the re-
publican party will be obliged to seek
votes elsewhere in the future than among
the workingmen of America who hereto
fore supported the party and OF whose
interests in the past William Mckinley
has posed as the chief guardian.
Under this clause OF the constitution
the products OF the Philippine Islands,
the Jolo archipelago, the island OF Guam,
the Hawaiian Islands, and Porto Rico
have the same rights in the markets Of
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, New Orleans, San Francisco, and
all other ports under the American flag,
that are now accorded to the products Of
the states, that is absolute free trade must
exist between all lands that are under
the sovereignty OF the United States. The
above clause OF the constitution is SO
plain that no doubt can exist in the mind
Of any one regarding its true meaning.
President Mckinley is politician Of
great cunning, but his political juggling
has caused him to forfeit the confidence
and respect Of thousands OF the more in
telligent members OF his party in every
state who understa and the forces and the
motives behind his policy OF criminal ag-
gression. The president, however, real.
ICES that there being no war in Porto Rico
or other reason why that island should
not once enter into the enjoyment Of her
rights as an integral part Of the American
union, and he therefore inserted in his re-
cent message to congress the following:
"Our plain duty is to abolish all Gus.
toms tariffs between the United States
and Porto Rico and give her products free
access TO our markets."
This recommendation on the part Of
the president is intended to allay the dis
content that exists in Porto Rico and
prevent the merchants Of that island from
seeking the supreme court OF the United
States as the medium through which to
secure rights which have thus far been
denied them to their pecuniary disad.
vantage and loss.
The crafty agent Of the money kings
and monopolies, who is now the execu-
tive head Of the nation, realizes the ne
cessity Of playing very fine game to
secure reelection, which he cannot Sc
cure without receiving the votes OF the
working men Of his party. He is there.
fore exceedingly careful to prevent them,
if possible, from arriving at correct
knowledge Of the legitimate fruits Of i'm.

Benjamin Franklin has received one
sort OF monumental tribute to de
gree second only to that of Washing
ton. More towns ana postofiices have
been named after him than after any
other man. even Washington himself,
although tie bestowal of the name
Washington on the capital of the coun-
try transcends, of course, any of the
similar honors accorded to Franklin
Thirty-six places In the United States,
in US many states and territories, bear
the name of franklin simply, and "a
others bear names into which the word
enters in combination, such as Frank
linton, Tranklinville, Franklin Falls,
and SO on. AS against this there are
% Jacksons in the country, 80 Wash
ingtons and % Jeffersons.
Thirty-one counties bear the name OF
Washington, 24 the name of Franklin
% the name of Jefferson and % the
name of Jackson

One of the curious sights to an Amer
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters is the ever present pig; but, as
pigs are not allowed at large, they
have an ingenious method of tying the
pigs by the ears. They cut a small
hole through the pigs ear. one-half to
an inch in diameter Through this
hole they insert rope, with large
knot on one end. This rope securely
confines the pigs liberties about the
premises. The same sights are seen
often ON the native boats and even on
the swell steam launches plying on
Manila bay Transporting pigs through
the streets of Manila always attracts
n crowd, although the sight is COM
mon. The legs of the pig are tied to-
gether securely, and the pig is then
suspended on long pole resting on
the shoulders of two native carriers.
The pig. with his legs up and head
down. makes about as much noise
while in transit as the pig under a
gate in Missouri and never fails to hold
the crowd.-AIanila Freedom.

WHY SOME MEN GROW TALL
Length of Limbs and Body Are Indica'
 tions of Unnatural Growth
From Golden Penny

From Golden Penny
 The biggest living man is Lewis Wilkins, who is now arousing great interest in the scientific circles of Europe. Wilkins was born on a farm near St. Paul, Minn., in 1874. When he was but 10 years old he measured six feet in height and now he has grown to the tremendous height of 107A inches-just three-quarters of an inch less than nine feet-and weighs S64 pounds.
 There have been other tall men and wo- men before Wilkins, and scientists have striven in vain to account for these freaks of nature. Only lately a plausible story has been put forward by French physi- clan, Dr. Marie, who says that giantism Is nothing more nor less than a disease. This disease generally occurs in patients between the ages of IS and 30, and is first called acromegaly Qrom two Greek words meaning enlargement of the eXtremities). If the patient is not attacked until after he is IS theends of the bones in the arms and legs are enlarged and prolonged slightly, but if this disease has attacked child at or soon after birth giantism is the result. The bones are prolonged all along their length, growing unnaturally, and the result is a giant
 When you see a big man 1t Is, there fore, a question whether he is unusually strong or whether he is a sufferer from acromegaly. All giants have not been acromegalic according to Dr. Marie. He mentions two giants in the French army who did not belong to this class. One was Charles Freut, a cavalry soldier, who was 6 feet Il inches and another was Marnat, a drum major in the Nineteenth Regiment of Infantry, who measured feet inches.
 Perhaps the greatest giant who ever lived before Wilkins was Charles Byrne, an Irishman. He measured feet inches. His skeleton is still preserved proving be- yond question his enormous size He was probably acromegalic.
 Other giants were Constantine, born at Zurich, Switzerland, 8 feet l inch; Herold, born at Leipsic, ' feet inches, and Lady Emma, s feet 1 inch.

THE ORIGIN OF ALPHABETs
A Volume Telling About It Given the
 Smithsonian Institute

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
 Alton, Ill.-A unique volume has just been presented to the Smithsonian Institution by Prof. J. c. c. Clarke of Upper Alton. The work Is on the origin and evolution of the alphabets. For many years Professor Clarke was at the head of the department of Greek at Shurteff College, which was named in honor of Dr. Benjamin Shurtleff of Boston. Since retiring from active work In that department Professor Clarke has spent most of his time in travel and origi- nal research work. The materials for the work just finished were gathered for the most part during travel in foreign lands and by correspondence with specialists. Professor Clarke published in 1884 volume of twenty pages of illustrations on "Thc Origin and Varieties of the Semitic Alpha bet" In the new work, which is folio el- egantly bound in morocco and gilt, the compilation of the alphabets of the world are so tabulated as to show the origin of all of them in the Egyptian hieroglyphics, and to exhibit the development of each from it's earliest to its latest forms.
 The volume contains about a thousand varieties of the alphabet of which two or three hundred may be called distinct all phabets. They are arranged according to dates and geographical and racial connec- tions All the Hebrew, Arabic and Syric and the European alphabets are traced from the Egyptian. The many Rumi alpha bets are traced from the Greek. The Per- sian, Indian. Manchu, Thibetan and Malay are traced from the Syric. Not the least curious feature of the book Is the exhibi- tion of the six Philippine alphabets and those of the other islands, Sumatra, Java, the Celebes and Formosa. The exh- bition of the evolution of the alphabet of Java alone fills two pages. The volume also exhibits the numeral ciphers of all the world. The latest European books on this subject say that the origin of the numeral and the zero Is unknown. Professor Clarke shows that they are Syric letters of about the Christian era, and are the first ten letters of the alphabet. The figures and 8 are older forms than the others, and our circular zero has been made from the Sy- ric l enlarged.

AMUSEMEN Is.

The ever-popular Wilbur Kirwin Opera Company opened engagement at the Jeerson Theatre last night in the Queen s Lace Handerkerchief to large audience, and scored another hit
 The pretty little opera was well rendered, and the specialtes which are so cleverly worked in were all good. Miss Kirwin, who is always pleasing, was at her best, and member of the splendid organization did good work. MT Kohue, the comedian, as Don Sancho," was fine and made hit. His drollery kept the crowd roaring.
 The chorus Is one of the best, vocally and physically, that Miss Kirwin has ever gotten together, and when it comes to choruses, Miss Kirwin is hard to beat. Not only are the girls good looking but they sing with vim, and altogether the organiz- aton is first-class.
 'The Girl with the Auburn Locks'', which Is distinctively a feature of the company, scored another hit, as did the other spec ialties.
 The company's engagement Is for four nights, with matinee every day, and 1t is deserving of crowded houses at every per- formance.
