than they see now. If the free traders
are not the illogical unbuslnesslike
theorists which protectionists consider
them to be- they certainly are, by
their own showing, hoodoos Of the
most effective kind; for, whenever
they come into control in this country,
business collapses, industrial prosper
ty comes to an end, and, more often
than not, things wind up in a financial
panic. They can take their choice as
to names. The fact remains that free
trade means closed factories and idle
workmen, and the people of this coun-
try seem pretty unanimously inclined
to steer clear of it in the future.
81 don't believe could figure up ex-
actly," he replied; "but fully $30,000,-
100000, counting those engaged in
transportation and trade. That is $780,
100000 for every working day And it
is all spent in some way, too. That is
why | am getting so rich. We make
for ourselves, and for the most part
buy for ourselves. That, added to my
splendid foreign balance, keeps plenty
of money at home and in constant cir
culation."
Isn't it a grand body of men?
Every one of them well dressed, money
in their pockets, and happiness reflect
ed in their faces. They are we'll and
strong and ambitious. Why, some of
those men will be millionaires some
day. Some of them will be Congress
men and governors and mayors. Their
sons are getting a college education
and their daughters are the equal OF
any princess on earth. How | should
hate to see these men thrown out of
work or their wages reduced to the
level of foreign countries But that is
what will happen if they go to tinker
ing with the tariff Don't make any
mistake about that. I've seen it happen
too many times already. And tho
farmers would suffer equally with the
mill hands.
But, Uncle SAM" asked,
wouldn't you like to manufacture for
the world and increase your exports
five or ten fold?"
"Of course would, and I propose
TO- but not by means of free trade or
jug-handled reciprocity. When l do it
| want it to come about without the
sacrifice of a single job these men hold.
I've got a trade of upward of $3O,OOO,-
100000 a year right here at home and
a few hundreds of millions abroad,
more or less, don't cut much ice, as
Dick Croker would say. Millions OF
these men you see in line today have
homes wholly or partly paid for. Mil
lions more have money out at interest.
Millions more have little investments,
some of them in the very concerns In
which they are working. Free trade
would mean an awful shrinkage OF all
these values, would mean idleness to
many. lower wages to others, and no
work or wages to some. This is the
day of all days to think Of these things
and hope every one of these men
| fully realize the situation. Labor Day
is for all my people, for they are all
laborers whether they work with their
hands or their heads and all would
suffer the same, for my American sys-
| tenn of protection affects every man,
woman and child in the land, no mat
Ter where they live or how the wage
earners of the family are employed.

UNCLE SAM ON LABORERS.

T found Uncle Sam last Monday re-
viewing a labor parade
What more magnificent spectacle
is there on earth than this?" said he.
Fully 2O,OO0,OOO men, resting from
their labor for day, marching, feast
ing, playing and listening to inspiring
music and addresses. Think for a mo-
ment what these men are doing and
what they are earning, and what they
are buying and consuming. They are
producing over $4,000, ,00O,O worth of
new material every year, much of
which is added to the wealth of the
country. On the farms immense crops
are raised; in the mills, from little,
almost worthless ore, great locomo-
tives are made, huge engines, plows,
mowers and reapers; building material
put into shape for construction; ma
chinery of all kinds; innumerable
tools; clothing and the countless ar
ticles of daily use by my 100000 of
people and the people of all the
world"
How much do you pay your men,
Uncle SAM" l asked.

CRUCIAL CASES.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson when, during
his testimony before the Industrial
commission. he was confronted with
the cold indisputable facts that there
was no tin plate industry in this coun-
try previous to the putting of tariff
on tin plate by the Mckinley law, and
that Immediately after the enactment
of that law the industry sprang up and
fiourished and grew and has gone on
growing ever since, replied that the
case of the tin plate industry was ''one
of the crucial cases where during the
existence of high protective tariff a
special art has made a very great ad-
vance," and stated that the industry
would have been developed in this
country II there had been no tariff
on tin plate. There have been so many
of these crucial cases." so many in
dustries which have Just happened. '
according to the free traders, to be de-
veloped under protection that. il the
free traders were to be believed, the
history of this country would offer the
most remarkable history Of coinci-
dences that the world has ever seen
or the imagination conceived of.
II the free traders would let go for
a little while. their childlike faith in
the omnipotent power of coincidence

THE CENTURY for October covers an
unusual range of topics and appeals to
a variety of tastes, and yet the topics
are so well chosen that the reader will
find each article attractive. A new
world is treated in a we'll written
account of THE Men of New Japan
the creators of the new power that has
already made itself a determining fac
tor in Eastern politics The latter-day
miracle that has recreated the Land of
of the Rising Sun is not to be compre-
hended without personal knowledge of
these amazing statesmen of Japan,
and their side glances at our Western
civilization are most enlightening. A
lighter side of the Spanish War re-
ceives fitting commemoration from
Captain Bartlett of the navy who tells
most entertainingly of the Coast Sig
nal Service The stories of this num-
Der are of high order and are richly
illustrated, and its editorial pages are
strong and brilliant.

The REVIEW OF REVIEWS for October
has so many articles relating to our
dead president and to our new presi-
dent, as to make of it almost special
edition devoted to those topics. These
articles are all by able writers, men
of national reputation. Besides there
are given the full texts of of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's speech at Buffalo and Mr..
Roosevelt's speech at Minneapolis
few days earlier. Both these addresses
have an unusual historic Importance
if they set forth Mr.. McKinley's pro-
gram of reciprocity and international
amity, which President Roosevelt has
so solemnly declared his purpose to
carry out, and Mr.. Roosevelt's full ap-
proval, expressed before the murdered
president spoke at Buffalo, of Presi-
dent McKinley's ideas and purposes.

What" say you. will God wear
jewelry?" If he wanted it, he could
make the stars of the heaven his belt
and have the evening cloud for the
sandals of his feet, but he does not
want that adornment. He will not
have that jewelry. When God wants
jewelry, he comes down and digs it out
of the depths and darkness of sin.
These souls are all crystallizations Of
mercy. He puts them on, and he
wears them in the presence Of the
whole universe. He wears them on
the hand that was nailed, over the
heart that was pierced, on the tenn
pies that were stung. They shall be
mine" saith the Lord, "in the day

There Is a very marked difference
in the working methods of the United
States congress and the British par
lament which strike the visitor from
one country to the other. Some of the
things that seems peculiar to the
American is the absence of clerks in
the British assembly and, the practice
of members in wearing hats during
the session. Some recent proposals
that the hour of converting the Brit
ish parliament be changed call atten-
ton to the striking difference between
the working methods of that body and
our own congress. Parliamentary ses-
sions begin late and last far into the
night. The parliamentary hours, in
deed, have undergone good many
changes and it is only twelve years
since n radical change was made in
them-the house meeting at 8 instead
of 4, and adjourning. nominally, at II
instead of at some hour in the morn
ing.

His Work Done.


The nation mourns as one which has
suffered a great loss, but loss which
is not irreparable. His work has
been, to q great extent, accomplished.
OF the problems which confronted him
when he was elected, or which have
arisen since his election, nearly all
have been happily solved by him.
The war with Spain has been con-
Quoted to successful conclusion. The
country is at peace with all mankind.
1t is tranquil and prosperous. There
are no threatening clouds visible on
the political or business horizon.
II the President thought of himself
at all in his last moments he could
have taken comfort in the reflection
that he had well-nigh fulfilled his mis-
sion-that he had done for the people
all and more than they had expected
of him, and had won for himself fame
that time cannot obeliterate. So far
as ore can read the future there was

A MODERN CINDERELLA.
"Little Patsy" Returns to Thank thu
Police for Her Rescue.

"Little Patsy" Returns to Thank the
Police for Her Rescue.
A pretty little girl elegantly
dressed, perfect ray Of sunshine,
stepped out of a fine carriage that
stopped opposite the police barracks,
says the Atlanta Constitution, and
asked an officer to direct her to the
Office of the chief of police. There was
a lady in the carriage, but she kept
out of sight. The little girl tripped
lightly up the stone steps and walked
into Chief Balls Office. SIS this the
chief of police?" voice sweet enough
to belong to a choir of woodland
choristers asked. 81 am the chief"
replied Chief Ball, land I will be
pleased to have my pretty little visitor
take a seat" "Oh, no." she replied
shaking her head until the golden hair
rippled like sun-kissed waves. Il can't
stay but a very little while. l came
here to tell you what very thankful
little girl I am. You don't know me,
perhaps, but maybe you will remember
a poor little child who was taken from
a hovel few years ago by the good
policeman. She was known then as
Patsy, and she sold matches sometimes
and picked up rags and old papers at
other times. She was a poor, miser-
able and very, very wretched little
girl. Her mother died, and her father
had run away, and she was living with
an old woman on Marietta street who
drank whisky. The good policeman
found her and she was taken away
from the horrid old woman and placed
in home. Then one day kind lady
saw her and she said she wanted a
little girl. So she was adopted, and
since then she has had good home
and the dearest, sweetest mother in
all the world" And you were little
Patsy?" the chief asked. Eyes, l was
poor little Patsy" she replied as a
tear almost dimmed the bright blue
eyes. "And l came here to-day to tell
you how thankful l am for what the
good policeman did for me six years
ago. Mamma, who is downstairs In
the carriage, said she wanted me to
thank you for her, too" Il am sure, "
said the chief, as his pretty visitor was
about to leave, that the police of At
lanta never did better piece of work,
and we are very proud and happy to
know that Patsy has been so bounti-
fully blessed" The child laid bunch
of roses on the chiefs desk and slip
ped away. 1t would not be right to
give her present name. She was once
poor little Patsy, a waif, but Patsy is
dead, and in her place there reigns as
happy little girl as ever carried with
her sunshine into an Atlanta home.

Death Caused by Heart Trouble.
The President heart gave trouble
from the beginning, but its cratic &C.
ton was at first thought to be due to
the shock Of the wound, but when the
would had begun to progress favorably
the heart gave more trouble and anxi-
ETY. than ever. Its action became feeble
and finally gave out altogether.
The Presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion, but some of the
physicians do not believe there was
organic heart trouble. The theory of
at least one of the physicians Is that
the original shock of the first bullet
over the heart had much to do with
the trouble which caused death.
Slayer Saved by Darkness.
A noticeable theme of comment was
occasioned by the hour at which the
death occurred. 1t partook somewhat
Of the providential that the event
should have come in the dead of
night instead of the early evening,
when the thousands who gathered on
the streets of the city were in no ten
der mood. Had the death come ear
lier it is possible that the authorities
would have had to cope with more or
less violence.
Crowds Surround jail.
During the early part of the evening
crowds began to gather about the sta
tion-house, where the assassin, Cool
gosz, was confined, and the purpose of
their gathering was at no time mys-
terious. People gathered rapidly,
who openly declared they intended to
lynch the assassin, if the President
died.
The authorities were fully alive to
the situation and agents of the secret
service reported that the people were
excited beyond measure. There were
not only the people of Buffalo, indig-
nant at the disgrace to their city, but
strangers, who had no neighborly re-
spect for the local authorities.
Gov. Odell pacted promptly and gave
orders to protect the Jail. Thus the
assassin was safe from penalty for
the miserable death he had dealt out
to the President.

All the World NIourns.

All Friday and Friday night S0,000,-
900 Of Americans stood in thought and
heart at the bedside Of their dying
President. A simple people. devoid of
the arts which in other lands are used
to decorate the emotions, they knew
only how to sorrow in silence and hope
that the impending blow would be
spared.
In his daily life the President of the
| United States is mercy its first citi-
zen-a plain man in plain clothes, ac-
cessible to other plain men in plain
clothes. BY virtue of his Office he is
only the foremost among his equals,
and as such he meets his fellow citi-
zens without claiming or expecting
from them the studied Difference or os-
tentatious affection which is so sedu-
lousy displayed in the capitals Of
other lands.
Yet for days, while this man of the
people lay stricken by the assassin,
bound down by wounds; and lowering
between life and death, S0,O00,000 men,
women, and children turned from the
tasks of a crowded life, forgot their
personal strivings and personal griefs,
and in dire suspense reached out for
the least word of comfort, of courage,
or of cheer from their Presidents bed
side.
Sorrow, affection, and anxiety were
written across the face Of the whole

The Return Of the Cameo.

Old-fashioned canoes are now in the
hight of fashion, as is almost every
kind of jewel that boasts of antiquity
Canoes are worn AS ornaments and
figure in belts and bands in the latest
embroideries. Many Of the old-fash-
toned brooches with huge. jewels in the
center, which we have abjured with a
vengeance, are coming back to us, not
to wear as a brooch, but in combina-
ton with leather, velvet or chiffon in
the ornamentation of dress. Among
the choicest new jewels are pendants
Of dull rough gold with imbedded jew
els and pendants Of natural pearls or
bits of turquoise suspended by tiny
gold links. The color combinations in
many of these ornaments are rich and
exquisite.

OUR COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY.
United States Supplying Many Other
Countries with Food.


Agriculture and manufacture make
commerce. The statistics Of manufac-
tured products show that the United
States is easily in the supremacy rel
alive to any country in the world.
The commercial statistics are equally
satisfactory, for now at the head of
the worlds great exploring nations
there stands the United States. For
the calendar year 1900 our exports Of
domestic products were greater than
those of any other country, their total
value for that year being 1,453, O13, 659.
Great Britain ranked next, with ST.
csc, GIL 900. Thus the United States
has reached the commercial supremacy
of the great exploring nations of the
world. twenty-five years ago this
country stood fourth in rank, the
United Kingdom being first. Germany
second, and France third. The United
States has increased her exports dur
ing the last twenty-five years 102 per
cent. The supremacy Of the United
States is due very largely to the enor-
nous expansion of manufacturing in
dustry during the last decade. Our
manufactured products now consti-
tute about 80 per cent. of the total ex-
ports. In 1860 they were but 1916
per cent. Through our agricultural
products we have been feeding many
countries. We are now supplying
them with both food and fuel. Form
erly we imported great quantities Of
iron and steel, but now we are export
ing these things. Ten years ago we
had little or no production of tinplate.
the IMPORTS being over 10000 100000
pounds in 1891, but last year we i'm
ported only 1OS, 144,S26 pounds, little
more than one-tenth of the importa-
lions of 1891, while in place of manu-:
featuring little or no tinplate ten
years ago we are now manufacturing
nearly 100000 pounds. Worlds
