Expansion Natural in a
Nations Life.

(By John G. Eames, of the III. b. Claflin
Co., of New York;
How any man at all interested in the
advancement and welfare of this great
country can preach the doctrine Of anti
expansion is more than can understand.
Anti-expansion means contraction, or
at least that would be the result. Unless
we seek markets for our goods outside of
the limits of our own country we cannot
advance commercially. We are coun-
try Of producers. Not only do we draw
from natures bountiful supplies of the
ground but, by using the ingenuity
Providence has given us, we have demon
strated that we can by modern machin-
cry turn out more manufactured goods
than we can use. Therefore we must not
only seek markets elsewhere, but we
must create new markets for our produc-
tons. To do this our country must have
at least foothold in other countries,
commercially at least.

(By Hon. N. B. Scott, United States
Senator, of West Virginia)

10y LION. N. ID. oCOlt, Onlteu SUITES
Senator, of West Virginia.)
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 as rare as white blackbird. The
overthrow of the old Wing party had
practically eradicated that element Of po-
litical society in that section.
But since then great change has been
gradually going on. The growth of pro-
tectionist sentiment in the South during
the last quarter century is one of the
most important developments of recent
political history.
1t is fact susceptible of ample proof
that whenever we have had protective
tariff the whole country, North and
South, has prospered, and whenever we
have had low tariff, or practically free
trade, the country has suffered from hard
times.
In every branch of productive indus
try that can be named there has been

You have heard the mighty roaring of the
wind among the trees,
You have seen Its mighty tossing of the deep:
Have you ever heard II coming when you
crouched on bended knees,
And an ice-boat had you fast within its keep?
Have you ever heard the wind,
The chilling, driving wind,
AS II hastens from behind and never gains?
Then it's go, go, go.
Like an arrow from the bow.
While the wild wind shrieks Its Icy note;
With broad, white 6eld before you.
And the driving snow blown DER you,
There is nothing now can head the wilma

ECHO OF THE EXPLOSION.
Valuable Scarf Pin, Stolen by One Of
the Workmen, Is Recovered.

Attorney p. +. Loughran yester-
day recovered a diamond set opal
scarf pin that was among the many
valuables he and his FAMILY lost in
the Merchants and Mechanics bank
building explosion, August 4, last.
The pin was stuck in a large pin
cushion that rested In q dresser in
his bed room. one of the men work.
ing on the ruins. Sam Smith. colored,
found the cushion. but when ques-
toned about the pin averred post
lively that he had not seen 1t and
was sure II was not stuck in the
cushion.
Alderman w. S. Millar owns a pin
exactly like the one that Mr.. Lough-
ran lost, and some weeks ago the
two had compared them. Alderman
Millar was surprised the other day
to see Charley Battle, young col
ored man, wearing a pin that was a
counterpart of his own and asked him
where he got it. Battle said he had
taken it from Sam Smith as security
for a so loan.
Mr.. Ioughran was in Alderman Mill
lars Office the other day and spoke
of the loss of his pin. The alderman
remarked that he saw a colored man
wearing a pin like the ones they had,
and that he said he got it from an
other colored man named Sam Smith.
Yesterday Mr.. Loughran had an in
terew with Smith and came away
with the pin. Smith wanted to eX-
plain just how it all happened, but
Mr.. Loughran was busy.
