Eternal Vigilance the Price.

That eternal vigilance is no less the
price of commercial expansion than it
is of liberty. civic reform or any of the
vantage points of ciVilizat iOn we would
take ana hold noWise needs further
de demonstration to the practical mind.
Nevertheless. It may be Interesting to
note some phases of the situation that
happen at this particular time to en-
rhasizc the truism. There is more of
interest in the situation because we
have acquired our present commercial
expansion under a protective tariff,
which avoWc1ly assures the working
man higher wages and enables him to
be a better consumer than his foreign
cousin also because he is in no mood
to surrender the advantages thus ac-
CURED Not only has the American
manufacturer to pay his employees
more wages but he has to break down
the barriers which conservatism has
contributed to those already protect

Of cheaper labor. Truly the conditions
call for all the proverbial ShreWdnesS
Of the Yankee, if he would retain what
grip he already has on the foreign
markets.
1t certainly is gratifying to learn
that an Industrial writer in the Lon
don Mail deems the increased demand
for American boots and shoes in Great
Britain worthy of notice. True. he
speaks contemptuously Of the like
lihood of the home trade being serious
ly impaired and ascribes the growing
trade in American shoes to a fad. The
shrewd observer believes that if fad

CruIIcrs and Cookies.

An excellent recipe for crullerS
which is furnished ny an old subscrib-
er is as follows: one pint of sour milk
two eggs. four te3spoonsful Of melted
lard. two tcaspoonfuis of soda. one
tcaspoonful Of cream Of tartar. one
ana one-half cupfuls of sugar. one
half teaspoonful of salt. nutmeg on
other faVoring 10 taste. and adj -four
to make as soft a batter as can be
handled. If allowed To stand on the
ice until thoroughly chilled ana only .
part of the mixture is put onto the
board at a time a softer paste can bv
used than if used While warm. and
the crullers Will be propo-tionally
lighter and more delicate. Roll into
sheets one-half inch thick and cut into
rounds with a hole in the centre. Fry
in deep fat. keep them turning with
long toasting fork. Fry to a golden
brown. If too many are added al one
time the fat will be cooled. the cooking
will be slower and the cakes will alb
serb the fat.
The following recipe for fruit cookies
is favorite in family where there
are children of all growths: Three
eggs. one and one-half cupfuls OF
sugar. one cupful of butter. one and
one half cupfuls of seeded and
chopped raisins. two cupfuls of flour.
one-half teaspoonful of soda dissolved
in two tablespoonfuls of milk or water.
one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one half
teaspoonful of cloves. Drop from
spoon into buttered tins and bake.

fore. which in turn was larger than
the demand of the preceding year.
The Immediate result of this is that
English manufacturers are advertising
their goods as made upon designs "in
exact imitation of the best American
styles" There is the sort of imitation
which affords the most subtle tlattery
1t likewise affords cause for no little
apprehension. = 1t is begotten of the
same tactical trickery, which is rob
bling stove manufacturers in this coun-
try OF their well earned reward

cordins to recent reports of our con-
sui at Birmingham, Eng, are being
made in exact imitation of the Ameri-

The foreign markets are certain to be
advantageously exploited by American
genius and energy and to advantage,
but whatever temporary glitter that
trade may reflect at any particular
time should not be permitted to bind
our eyes to the fact that we have right
at home seventy odd millions of the
greatest consumers per capita known to
the world. There is more of substance in
the vision of foreign trade conquests
