THE TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

A few years ago. when the Demo crats proposed to reduce the tariff on certain articles because the makers of them were using the duties to en. able them to sell at low prcfit abroad while charging extortionata prices at home, the high priests of protection went into spasms over it. There should be, they declared, no covenant, no laying of impious hands on that palladium of our liberties, the Dingley bill. They asserted that if the manufacturers sold abroad cheap CT than in the United States it was because the foreigners wanted an inferior article; that the part thus sold was merely a surplus product that had gone out of fashion oyer here and had to be worked off for what it would bring anywhere; and finally that they did not sell cheaper abroad anyway,
 After awhile, however. the country began to wake up to the fact that American manufactures were norm ally sold abroad at prices much lower than at home. Trusts began to be or ganized for the express purpose of cornering the domestic market so as to put up the price and make a large 1a tion with other countries at a fair profit
 The Democrats promptly introduced bill after bill to abolish or reduce the tariff on these articles The files of ! the last congress are full of them. But all were summarily squelched by the ways and means committee and the country heard of them no more.

Still After the PeddIers.

Patrolman Culpepper is making a war on peddlers. He arrested several the other day and was so hot after J. s. Thompson, peddler of dry goods, jewelry, etc, yesterday that the man thought it best to go to head quarters and get peddler's license before he was pulled The prosecu- tion against H. M. Hendrixson, the peddler who was arrested Monday morning and who secured a contin- uance of his trial, will have a hearing this afternoon.

 The very wet weather makes it inn possible for Pine Bluff to be seen in her most beautiful attire. and thorgb there may be too much moisture for the display of those many little ar tlfieial decorations which lovely wo- man knows so well how to utilj2e t5 increase her bewitching charms. still the disagreeable condition of the e]a ments has not dampened the warmth of feeling with which the people of this city receive the fair visitors now within it's gates
 ln all conditions of society k wa. mans presence always appreciated. and this is especially true when she comes in her true sphere of improv. ing the moral status of our social fabric, It is woman's benign inau. ence that makes of the world what  there may be of good within it. Bdt for gentle. gracious, loving, tender. forgiving there would be lost the most potent influence in the cause divine to make man better here and look for a higher and nobler life in the future estate.

est degree with the older and more stable publication. It is presumption, therfore, for opponents of the new
 in journalism to assume that the novelties which they have introduced
 are types of the newspaper of the fu- ture. The best that can be said of them is that, as they appear to satisfy some of the people now, it is probable that they will continue to find a field among those whose tastes and capa bilities do not ask anything better.
 It is undeniable that most of the new departures in journalism have been in the direction of retrogression. ism has made some additional surren- der of dignity trustworthiness com pleteness or deeency. In too many instances the appeal has been made, without shame, to the vulgar and the debased. Where this has not been the case, the characteristic of the new newspaper has been brevity sensation, inaccuraey and folly. The fact that readers have been found for publica tions of this class, here and abroad, does not signify that there has been any loss of readers on the part of the newspapers of the highest grade, which have been in existence for many years.

and for longer period in France. It also prevails in Germany. Belgium
 and other European countries. It is l but three years old, however, in this country Yet in that time it has been ! extended with considerable rapidity. On July 1, 1899. there were 391 rural free delivery routes in operation, and
 on November 1, 1900, the number was 1851. These last were distributed through forty-four states and territo-
 ries-the number in Illinois being 243 and served 1891, ,524 people. There were also awaiting action at the time i 5.15S petitions for the establishment of new routes. and it is estimated that by the end of June next the service will have been extended so as to
 reach 3.500,000 persons. A route aver
 ages about twenty-five miles in dis ance and is supposed to serve 100 year, furnish their own conveyances, may be either sex, and must make
 their deliveries and collections every day except Sundays. The report.
 however, favors holiday of fifteen days each year without loss of pay People to the limit of 31 ,000 000 are
 now served by rural free delivery in
 our cities and towns. and it is calcu-
 lated that of the remainder of the pop ulation of the country it will be prac ticable to reach through free delivery about 21 1,00O 600, scattered over 1,000, 900 square miles of territory It is es timated that the cost of the entire ser
 vice will be about 5000, but that there will be a saving from the dis continuance of existing offices and star routes and an increase in re-
 ceipts which will reduce the net incre-
 ment over present disbursements for
 this territory to S13.7S2 900. The cur
 rent appropriation for this service is $1750 .000. and the report recommends it's increase to g, 800 900, for the fiscal year ending with next June
 The benefits of this service are not confined to direct results Besides in creasing the mail matter entering and leaving country homes, and thus put ting their occupants in more vital touch with each other, With business opportunities, and with the general movements of the world. it promotes good roads-which are required be fore d route is establshed-it en- hances the value of farms, it tends to turn back the exodus therefrom, and Y promotes cordial feelings towards the government which extends such facil- ities.
 The rural free delivery movement is one of the most interesting features of the development of the postal service in this country. If it were possible to decrease some of the eX- penses of the department in other auarters as regards second class mail, for instance-more money would be available and a more rapid extension
 of free delivery in rural districts, where it is so much needed would be
 possible,

UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA.

There is every indication, officially
and unofiicia1ly, that Russia is not
seeking a commercial war with the
United States, and that so far from
combining with Germany or other Eu-
ropean governments in a tariff war
against us, she wishes to be on terms
of the best commercial amity wi u.s.
We know this has been her policy for
three-Quarters of century, and there
is no reason that a trifiing sugar tariff
question should disturb it. There is
no hostility either on the part of the
Russian government or the Russian
people against the American govern
ment or people.
Gen. F. D. Cant, just home from
a trip through Russia, provides some
facts that will probably astonish many
whose opinions have been carelessly
formed, and will serve to conf m the
more conscientious judgment of others.
So TAR from finding in the cars do
main any sentiment favorable to Euro
pean commercial combination against
the United States, General Grant found
q distinctly friendly feeling among the
upper and middle classes, and a sense

right column was placed under COM
mand of Colonel Baldwin, who at that
time was a first lieutenant. For three
days he moved toward the northeast
On the night of the 9Th of November,
1874, the column headed more to the
north for the purpose of crossing the
head of the small tributaries of the
north fork of the Red river and the
Washita- The troops had been on the
march scarcely an hour, when the
scouts reported large camp of In
dams in the immediate front There
was but one incentive that spurred
every man of the command to ad-
vance. Without halting the column
for formation, the troops were thrown
into line to the front, and the Indian
camp was Immediately charged, re-
sulting in the utter defeat of the hos
tiles. They were forced to abandon
everything, and the command was
able to recapture and release Adalain
and Julia German, two of the white
girls whom the Indians had held as
captives. Colonel Baldwin is one of
the youngest officers in the army who
saw service during the war of the re-
bellion. After the civil war he was
with General Miles through nearly all
of his Indian campaigns. No officer in
the army stands higher than he in the
estimation Of General Miles.

PROTECTION AND PRICES.

Fifty years ago 80 per cent of all the
carpets consumed in this country were
imported from abroad. Today, accord
ing to Mr.. George McNeir, secretary for
w. & J. Sloane, 80 per cent of the car
pets consumed in this country are
made in the United States. The
amount of capital invested in the car
pet industry has increased from $4,-
100000 in 1850 to $50, 200, 900 in 1901,
and the yearly output of carpets has
increased from S., 900, 900 to SIS ZOO, GEO.
Some 5000 persons are now employed
in the carpet mills. According to Mr.
McNeir, too, "the wonderful growth in
this industry is due more largely to
the protection afforded by tariff legis-
lation than to all other causes com
bined." The growth of the industry,
furthermore, has been accompanied by
a material reduction in prices. Tween
ty-fve years ago Wilton carpets sold
for 1926 per yard; now they sell for
less than two-thirds of that amount
Twenty-Five years ago Moquette car
pets sold for 50 per yard; now they sell
for less than half of that amount. The
history of the carpet industry affords
a very good illustration of what the
protective tariff policy has done for
this country Through it both produc-
er and consumer have been benefited
Capital has found opportunity for in
vestnent with good returns, labor has
found employment at good wages, and,
at the same time, the consumer has
had the advantage of decreased cost
Of production and a consequent lower
ing of prices.

FREE TRADE SPIRIT.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. REsoRTED
TO BY COBDENITES.
Their Industrious Efforts to Make It
Appear That President Mckinley Had
Decided to Abandon the Policy of
Protection.

On the day that President Mckinley
was shot the Toledo, O., Bee published
the following in reference to the Presi-
dents speech at Buffalo. The down.
right falsehoods of it are well matched
by the detestably mean spirit of it:
ITO advocate reciprocity is to admit
everything that was ever claimed for
free trade. 1t simply means an appli-
cation of the principle on the install
ment plan. And we are glad to see
this sdeathbed repentance Of the man
who played his way to the Presidency
on one string, and that sting Protec-
ton. He can no longer make intelli-
gent people believe that we can build
stone wall around this country and
live isolated from the remainder of the
world. Besides that, his patrons. the
trusts, need the foreign as we'll as the
domestic market now, and Mckinley
must hedge.'' fl
Reciprocity is not free trade by in
stallments, unless reciprocity is to de-,
part from what the Republican party
has officially described it to be and
what has been wrought into treaties
during the last. dozen years. The
Blaine, Mckinley and Dingley recip-
rocity, as expressed in the acts of 1890
and 1897, Endorsed by Republican ma
tiona1 conventions and confirmed by
Republican senates, does not remove
duties from articles on which Protec-
ton is needed. The duties given up
are those previously levied on non
competitive products and not re-
quired for revenue.
The term free trade as generally
used does not mean, the absence of all
duties on imports, but the absence of
protection. Reciprocity is not hostile
to Protection, but is, as the Iowa Re
publicans recently put it, 1.-The COM.
plement to Protection" In advocating
reciprocity, therefore, the President
was not publishing "deathbed repent
ance," as the Bee so delicately puts it.
but was enforcing method which was
incorporated in the law of 1890 which
bears his name.
The effort of the Bee was to de-
grade and besmirch the President by
making it appear that he had changed
his politics, and that he had done so
because he could no longer deceive the
people with protection ideas. Some
what similar is the strain piped forth
in many other Democratic or anti-pro-
lection papers in respect to the speech,
though none other, so far noted. is so
vulgar in its Misrepresentation. 1t is
such lying and coarse vituperation of
men bearing the great burdens of the
state that nerve the arm of ignorance
to the point of assassination.

FREED CAPTIVE GIRLS.

days preceding the latter engagement
General Miles was encamped on Red
River, some distance to the west, with
nearly his entire command, which
composed the expedition o. 1s74-75.
The military officers were aware that
the Indians held four white children

SOMETHING DOING.

Something doing" becomes more
than a mere slang phrase under Ding
ley law conditions. There is "some-
thing doing" for the hundreds of thou
sands of workm n w.o have continu-
GUS employment in pace of idleness;
something doing' for the manufactur-
ers. who see a ba ance on the right
side of the ledger; Something doing
for the raflro- DIS and the employees of
the railroads in the handling
of many more tons of freight daily
than ever before in their history;
something doing" fer the farmers in
performing the task of feeding the mill
lions of prosperous, happy, clamorous
industrial workers. In short there is
not only something doing" in con-
trast to the nothing doing in Wilson
law days, but there is more than some
thing; there is very great deal doing
all along the industi ial line.

WHY HE WORRIES NOW.

The posi- ion of S cretary of the
treasury is no sinecure. Under Demo-
cratic free trade the secretary isn't
able to sleep nights for thinking about
the deficit watch in these circum-
stances is sure to grew bigger and big
ger as the months go by. Under Re
publican prote ction the secretary has
his worries, too, for he has to worry
about the increasing surplus which the
protection Icy always piles up in
the national treasu y. Tnat is what
is said to be troubling Secretary Gage
now. There is a choice b tween the
two situations, Though, and whenever
Secretary Gage feels more than ordi-
narily troubled about the surplus
which is accumu' ating he has only to
think of the days of Cleveland free
trade and the condition of the treasury
under the wilson law, and it will make
him thankful for his mercies.

DEwEY.s LUNCH BASKET.

Admiral Dewey carried his lunch ev-
cry day to the navy yard, when the
Schley court of inquiry was sitting
says the Chicago News. There is not a
decent lunch-room within a radius of a
mile of the navy yard and the admiral
evidently was aware of this fact in ad-
Nsnce, for on the first day of the in
quiry he hurried into the gunners'
workshop jauntily carrying his little
lunch basket, while All Lin, his Chi
nese servant, followed close behind
tuSging at the suit case that contained
the admirafs uniform. All Lin and
the suit case monopolized the attention
that day. The crowd did not catch on
to all the fine points of the diminutive
basket that the hero of Manila carried
Later the arrival of the basket was
watched for as eagerly as was that of
the head of the court of inquiry him
self The basket is of the finest Fill
pino weave and of a peculiar light
green color that makes it look seasicK
when contrasted with the white walls
and woodwork of the chamber in
which the sessions were held. 1t was
always carefully wrapped with ribbon
OF that particular size and color that
the dry goods clerk hands out when
asked for baby ribbon When the
court made its midday adjournment
the admiral hurried into the retiring
room in the rear of the court, balanced
the basket on his knees and patiently
unwound the narrow blue ribbon.
After he finished his luncheon he as
patiently wrapped the ribbon around
the basket again and put it carefully
on his table. When his work was done
for the day he bore his lunch basket to
his carriage, tenderly placed it on the
seat beside him and drove out of the
navy yard. The crowd enjoyed the be-
ribboned lunch basket almost as much
as the admiral appeared to enjoy its
contents, but SO far as could be ascer-
tanned no one had the temerity to chaff
him about it, although it is well known
that the admiral enjoys joke.
