They Had All Lost One.

From Tit Bits.
An old gentleman, evidently gatherer or
statistics, but with q kindly face, which
shaded of to something like philanthropy
about the edges, was gazing abstractly
down Regent street, London. Suddenly he
stepped up to a gentleman who was waiting
for bus, and, touching him lightly on the
shoulder. said: Excuse me; but did you
hand the coin mentioned.
The gentleman questioned made hasty
search of his pockets and said: why. so

WELL" SAID the other, do you want 1t all

II did not find one,''r said the old man,
..but il struck me that in a large city like
this there must be a lot of money lost. and
upon inquiry I find you are the thirty-first
man who has lost sovereign this very

From the LondOn Express.
Animal fanciers are bewailing the fact
that pet beasts have not been sought by
fashionable women since the war began.
pet animals are not wanted in time of
war" said Jamrach the famous animal
dealer of st. Georges East to an Express
representative. People have far more seri-
Gus things to think about and spend their
money upon. But when we have days of
peace and plenty animal fanciers have all
their time and energies engaged in finding
rare and unique pets for the moneyed
classes.
81 only deal in rare animals, but never
remember a time when sold fewer than
have during the last twelve months"
pretty little fawn-colored beast gazed
pathetically from between the bars of a
cage and then licked the fancier's fingers
Shouldn't have had you so long but for
the war, should I, old boy? He is fennec
from Sahara, the only one Of his kind in
England" explained his master.
'He would make an excellent pet for a
lady: he is as faithful as dog and most
domesticated. Eighteen months ago
should not have kept him TO. a week Now
no buyer comes.
"One of my customers who was most
keen to buy any rare pet I might come
across has not been near me for weeks.
Her son was in the c. I. v. and taken pris-
oner. The news quite took the heart out of
her and she cared no more for pets.
"And 1t is exactly the same with dozens
Of other ladies, with husbands and brothers
in South Africa; they care no more for
rare animal than for common tabby cat"

The Prince of Wales Income.

From the Temple Magazine.
The truth is that from the moment of his
birth the Prince of Wales has been splen-
didly rich. He was born, as the Irishnan
would say, with sixty thousand year in
his pocket, and from that day to this the
Duchy Of Cornwall has yielded him that
magnificent sum. At twenty-five the
prince married, and parliament gave him
Marlborough House and wedding present
Of 10000 a year. That, too, has come to
him regularly since 1868. year in and year
out In 1889, when the princes family ran
away with his money. parliament once
more came to his aid and nearly doubled
the grant he had received since 1863. From
1859 the prince has been relieved of the
anxieties Of father for the financial well
fare of his children by special grant Of
E36,O00 year. which comes to him In quar-
terly instaliments of 1900. So that the
public income of the prince Is 1885, 600 a
year. That Is what 1t Is worth to be Prince
OF Wales.

Several Republican newspapers in
the country which claim that Free
Trade is a dead issue, because of the
unexampled prosperity, are probably
not aware of the fact that many sec
lions of the country, and our colleges
in particular, are being flooded with
Free-Trade literature, especially of the
kind aiming to show that the Protec-
tive Tariff is responsible for the So
called trusts. The worst of it is that
the Free-Trade ~propagandists are re-
ceiving aid and comfort from Repub-
lican victims of the foreign markets
craze, who have somehow persuaded
themselves that certain of our indus
tries no longer need Protection, and
that we are in a position to make con-
siderable concessions to foreign pro-
ducers in return for a prospective
small increase in our export trade. AS
We we'll know from past experience,
the Protective system is never so much
endangered as when its professed
friends have come to think that its
safety is not menaced by the ever ac-
tive and aggressive Free-Trade move
ment.-Gunton's Magazine.

his daily bread is slow to take advan-

that a bird in the hand is worth two

LAND SLIPPING AWAY,
Entire BIun sliding Into the Missouri
River.

River.
A mile south of Atchison, Kansas,
the entire side of a bluff is sliding into
the Missouri river. The avalanche is
a quarter of n mile long, and at its
base Is the mos expensive piece of rail
o a track on the Missouri Pacific sys-
TEN. There is probably not another
quarter of a mile of track In HI Unit
cd States which 1t costs more to main
tain. The odd thing about this monster
landslide Is that it has been slipping
down for twenty years, and unless it
takes an unexpected plunge will prob
ably i,e slipping for the neX twenty
years, and possibly fifty or n hundred.
The avalanche is moving more or less
all the time, but not enough to require
watching by the Missouri Pacific eX-
cept about two months in the spring.
During the winter the moisture is
held in the ground, and when the frost
thaws and the spring rains come the
great mass of earth begins slipping.
Sometimes it comes down n foot in
twenty-four hours, and once in awhile
1t slides six feet. The Missouri Pa
cific then puts a force of from twenty
to fifty men at work pulling the track
back to its proper place and keeping it
level. A man is employed to watch the
track at night and see that it does not
get so far out of line as to topple a
train owe into the river. Orders are is
sued to engineers to go slow over the
bad track, for the jar of n train might
cause an Unprecedented move. The
current of the Missouri is always very
swift in the spring, and 1t wears away
the earth as it slides in, and it appears
a few miles below in the form OF an is
land.
1t costs the Missouri Pacific several
thousand dollars and causes a great
deal of anxiety every spring, but there
is NO way of avoiding it.

C~OBDENITE DIATRIBE
FREE-TRADERS OBJECT TO Ex-
ISTIN0 CONDITIONS,
They Demand "a Sweeping Tariff En-
aotment That Shall Drive Every
Vestige of Protection Out of Our
Fiscal system.

The Boston Herald finds in the pend.
ing reciprocity treaties I'M in the prop.
osltlon to bring Porto Rico into the
American tariff system a convenient
occasion for venting its free-trade
spleen. Lapsing into Cobdenite dia-
Tribe, this irreconcilable protestant
against the facts Of history and the
logic of events savagely assails the
whole system of protection to Ameri-
can labor and industry as the product
OF logrolling and lobbying. Thus:
"A used his influence to secure IA
vors of B.. c, d and E, on the under
standing that these latter were to use
their influence to help him pull certain
chestnuts out of the congressional fire.
but under these reciprocal trade treat
les A and B think that they are likely
to lose a part of their ill-gotten spoils.
n hence they call upon c, D and E,
the whole remaining alphabet of
interests as well, to assist them in de-
Tending themselves against this inva-
sion. AS there has to be loyalty be-
tween l%ogrollers as well as honor
among thieves, the others are likely
to respond to this appeal by doing what
they can to defeat the Objectionable
proposition"
There you have the typical free trade
conception of an economic system
whose results are the marvel of the
civilized world. The men who sup
piled the information which enabled
congress to frame successful tariff laws
are characterized as selfish conspira-
tors against the general good, and by
indirection are stamped as thieves"
OF course the Boston Herald has a
remedy to propose. 1t is to abolish
protection absolutely and get back to
the platform OF free trade pure and
simple:
I'VE are thus in our policy, both in
ternational and national, the slaves of
these industrial tyrants which the
Protective system has built up. APP
parently, the only way that we are to
relieve ourselves of these "old men of
the sea" Is to hurl them from our
shoulders by a sweeping Tariff enact
ment which shall drive every vestige
of Protection out Of our fiscal system,
and impose taxes only upon those COM
modities from which we hope 20 OBJ
tain a revenue, and on those at such
a point, high or low. as seems best
calculated to bring about the desired
result"
Congressman Hopkins was right in
c~ontending in his Forum article that
he Tariff is still a live issue. 1t is
true that there are not at present a
very large number OF Free Trade
propagandists who are SO frank and
80 foolhardy as the Boston Herald
writer above quoted. There are, how
ever. many who believe as he does, but
are restrained by considerations Of
prudence from saying SO in plain
words.
, 1900-03-08

The country's experience with the
unfulilled promises of the Free-Trad-
ers and with the unpromised fulfill
ment Of the Protectionists affords a
modern exempliication of the Scrip
tural parable Of the two sons, one OF
whom said, Il go, SIR" and went not;
the other, of whom said, II go not"
and went. The Wilson law supporters
promised to give us the markets of the
world through their Tariff changes in
the direction of Free Trade. Instead
they gave our markets to the foreign
ers and struck a death blow to Ameri-
can Industries. The supporters of the
Protective Tariff policy have never
made many promises in respect to
he securing Of foreign markets. They
have advocated Protection chiefly as
a means of preserving to us our home
market. They have kept their prom
ises, but they have gone far beyond
any promises. Under Protection Am
erican manufacturers have kept for
themselves the American market, with
Its marvellous consuming capacity, and
they have won much beyond that.
They have a large and constantly
growing share in the markets of the
world.
One of the most recent evidences of
the entrance Of American manufacture
ers into foreign fields is the
ment that the Baldwin Locomotive
Works has recently had. in addition to
many other foreign orders, an order for
ten Atlantic type passenger engines
for the state railroad of France. 1t is
also reported that the Jackson and
Sharpe company lave received a large
order for tramway cars from Alexan-
dria. Egypt. These things, among
thousands of others like them, were
neither guaranteed nor promised, but
they have come to pass under the be-
nign regime of Mckinley and Protec-
ton.

BOON TO AMERICAN LABOR.
of Prosperity That Cannot
BE Undermined.

BE Undermined.
The London Globe, commenting on
the present Industrial condition In
Lancashire, says. as quoted il the ca
Bile dispatches: "The high tariff on
American manufactures virtually mo-
nopolizo@ the home market and Is thus
able to reap large profits In spite of
labor being comparatively dearer in
England"
The wording OF the above is a little
obscure, but the evident meaning is
that by reason of the tariff protection
American manufacturers are enabled
to monopolize their home markets, thus
shutting out the English manufactur-
ers-which enables the American man
ufacturer to reap large profits. not
withstanding hat they pay their work.
men higher wages han the English
manufacturers pay their workmen.
Consequently English industry Ian
guishes while American industry -four
ishes.
We may commiserate the unfortun-
ate condition of the English manufac-
turers n laborers, but at the same
time we must recognize the fact that
it Is the business of each country to
legislate for the interests of its own
industries and people. The American
Congress looks after the welfare of
American industries and may with a
good conscience leave the British par
lament to look after British indus
tries. II Parliament refuses protec-
ton to English manufacturers, that is
its own lookout; and II Congress
chooses to protect American manufac-
turers and thereby enables them to
pay higher wages to their workmen,
1t cannot be held responsible II the
policy has a paralyzing effect upon
British industry.
The Globes brief acknowledgment
is an effective vindication of the Am
erican tariff policy as 1t affects Amer
lean interests. BY securing the Amer
lean manufacturer his home market,
the tariff furnishes him with a founda-
ton of prosperity that cannot be I'M
dermined by foreign competitors-and
working from this vantage point the
American manufacturer is often able
to undersell the foreign manufacturer
in his own market.-Minneapolis Trib-
une.
