Toy Watch Swallowed.

A toy watch, about the size of a quarter, swallowed by Alma Todt, 3 years old, of 225 North Asland avenue, was located in the pit of her stomach by means of X rays. The watch would have caused death ultimately. The little girl is in precarious condition and surgical operation will be neces- sary to remove the timepiece. The little girl swallowed the watch while playing in the parlor of her home
 She held it dangling from a chain, then placed it in her mouth. In some way the fastening became loosened and she started coughing, forcing it down her throat.-Chicago Chronicle.

Orange Free State Flag.

The Orange Free State flag is a sim pie rectangle of vivid orange. An orange tree in full fruit is the most distinctive feature of the arms of the Orange Free State. Beneath the tree are on one side lion and on the other a number of oxen. An ox-wagon sim liar to that on the Transyaal arms and three suspended horns complete the whole. 'Spes Bona"-good hope-is written underneath the arms of Cape Colony, the chief feature of. which is a lion rampant. A figure of Hope sur mounts the shield, the Supporters of which are a couple of native animals"
 A Telegram Card.
 The Austrian postoffice is to try a telegram card" on which a person writes message and posts in the us- ual way, but the postoffice telegraphs the contents, which are delivered to the address by the postman. The plan is combination of post and tele- graph, and seems useful as having a cost and speed intermediate between post and telegraph.

WAR VERSUS POLITICS.

The unusual apathy over partisan
politics at a time so near a presl.
dental election. can only be account
ed for by the intense interest now fell
in every American home over the bor-
rors being perpetrated upon our OWL
people now resident in China. Unless
the Chinese puzzle is solved speedily
and peace, or an approximation to-
wards it, is soon restored. the almost
universal indifference on political ques-
tions is likely to result in a falling
of from the figures Of 1896. of the votes
cast for the nominees of each party,
What effect. If any. this will have on
the chances of each party for success
is an interesting problem.
Since our Democratic friends claim
to be the only true Americans and the
rightful guardians Of American liberty.
We may expect that considerable
number Of their voters viii be on the
field of action in China, supporting the
endangered Americans in their right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness."
Seriously. however, it is an interesting
question whether the absence of 5000
voters from American soil viii have
any effect upon the result of the No
vember election. So far as our obssr-
vations have gone we do not believe
that the members of one party more
than Of another have enlisted for SER
vice either in the Philippines or in
China. We may argue and wrangle
OYER theoretical questions but, when
it is come to the maintenance Of our
national honor, we are all Americans.
It may be that our brave boys who
are defending the Stars and Stripes in
the Far East may be afforded an op-
portunity to express their preferences
in their camps, as was done during
the civil war.
Should the administration make SER
ious blunders in the conduct of the
present campaign in China and the d.
plomatic negotiations which must arise
from it. which we do not at all anti
cipate. there would be a serious de-
fectlon from the Republican ranks;
otherwise the same proportion of the
total number of votes which was cast
for Mckinley in 1896 will doubtless be
his in 1900.

PROTECTION AND PRICES
American Economist.

American Economist.
one Of the arguments most indus,
triously employed BY the enemies Of
protection IS that which is based up
ON the contention that the policy OF
preserving the home market for the
benefit Of the home producer has in.
aicted injury upon the people as a
whole through the large increase in
the cost Of living which has Invariably
prevailed during protective tariff per-
iods. II 1t were not for this line OF
argument the American free-trader
would be hard put to it for anything
to urge against the economic system
which has brought to the country Sc
much prosperity. Increase OF prices
of the necessaries OF life has been and
is his main reliance. As a matter
Of fact there is no more soundness in
this than in any of the other claims
made by tree-traders against the pro-
tective policy.
The New York Tribune has been at
some pains to look up the facts re-
garding prices at different periods un-
der Democratic and Republican tariffs.
1t finds that, with the single exeep-
ton Of lumber, whose price has been
advanced because OF the rapid exhaus-
tion of the sources OF supply, the
range of prices OF staple articles Of use
was on June Is. 1900, almost IDENTICAL
ly the same as on July /, 1890. two
years before the Mckinley tariff was
enacted. Food products, clothing, met
ais and miscellaneous commodities
show an average value in 1900 slightly
lower than in 1890, in spite Of the fact
that since 1890 two effectively pro-
Compared with 1860. a year of Demo-
cratic free-trade. the ratio of prices
shows very radical decrease. On
food products the ratio for 1900, as
compared with prices in 1860. is 1851;
on clothing, 7s.44; on metals. 5Z7S; and
on miscellaneous articles 5s.S5. The
only article of use that is dearer in
1860 than in 1890 or in 1860 is lumber.
and this increase in price has been
wholly due to increased demand and di-
minished supply.
The value of this showing is obvious.
1t clinches the great fact that under
adequate protection the cost of living
has steadily decreased. while the rate
OF wages has steadily increased.
