Cures Victims of Drugs.

A church union now exists in New
York for the most remarkable purpose
on record. Its avowcd object is to
cure the victims of the morphine and
other drug habits and n most impress
sive list of well-known clergymen have
registered themselves in support of the
scheme, which is conducted by DIR. w.
n. Richie.
The plans of DR.. RICHES work and
the means by which he hopes to make
it effectual are to be made public as
soon as possible. All that is withheld
from the public is the elements of the
mysterious compound, which is. Or.
Richie alleges, an absolutely infallible
panacea.
Men and women who have sunk to
the lowest levels of degradation have,
it is claimed. by the use of this cure
become perfectly regenerated. Physi-
clans of established reputation private
ly indorsc the cure, and the testimonials
appear so convincing that the clergy
men who have formed q union ON the
strength of it feel absolutely sure of
its efficacy.
DR.. Richie says that he obtained the
cure from n friend of his. who in turn
obtained it from a German sayant. The
friend referred to. having once become
the slave of morphine and having but
5 cents left in the world. converted it
into Il 5-cent stamp to address n letter
to the German who had originated the
cure. The recipe came. was made use
! of, and the man, when DIR. Richie knew
him, was enjoying an honored old age

Dispatches from Washington indi-
cate that plans are on foot to SO modify

lions with Cuba are concerned, us t. ad-
nit to this country free Of duty all
products from Cuba and admit into
Cuba free Of duty the products and

other words. complete reciprocity Is to
be established between Cuba and the
United States-that is, free trade. 1t is
said that the administration has prom
ised this to the Cubans.
The experience which Congress had
In the Porto Rican tariff matter shows
that there will be strong opposition to
this program. The producers of sugar
and tobacco in this country feel that
they should be protected against the
sugar and tobacco Of Porto Rico and
Cuba. When free trade between this
country and Porto Rico was first pro-
posed, the Telegraph pointed out that
the beet sugar interests would suffer;
for IL free trade is inaugurated with
Porto Rico, free trade with Cuba Will
soon follow. This appears to be the
next step. Beet sugar factories have
been established in this country be-
cause the tariff of 1897 gave them an
opportunity to get on their feet. Michi-
gan has ut least five million dollars in
vested in beet sugar factories; and

sion of Cuban sugar would be disas-
trous to the sugar industry of this
country.
The Republican party rightly resisted
the doctrine that 1.-The Constitution fol-
lows the flag" because that is Demo-
cratic free trade doctrine, and always
brings disaster. The Republicans MAIN
tanned that the protective policy should
be maintained and tnAt a tariff should
be preserved against Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. If free trade, or
so-called reciprocity, is inaugulated, the
protective fabric will be torn and the
door opened to disastrous results. Cubs,
is practically under the wing of the
T!lited States and to all intents and
purposes is in the same situation as is
Porto Rico.
Let the tariff remain; let the beet
sugar interests of the country be pro-
tected.-Kalamazoo Telegraph.

a Pleasing Guest.

For the first few months after the
election of President Mckinley In 1896
on the protection and prosperity plat
form we heard frequent inquiries on
the part of the enemy as to why pros
perity was tagging so long behind it's
advance agent. Facetious suggestions
were made in ressssct to the advisable
ity of inserting in the newspapers q
''lost, strayed or stolen'' notice for gen.
eral prosperity. Those s%cintillating
free trade witticisms no longer shine
forth to dazzle a long-suffering public.
1t has been many n day since any free
trader cared to assert that prosperity
had not come in with protection. Now,
instead of making facetious inquiries
as to the whereabouts of general pros
perity, the free-traders devote them
selves to claiming that the formerly
much praised general prosperity is an
u%nattractive gentleman OF protruding
stomach, who appeals to mems appe-
tites instead Of to their hearts and
brains. The great majority Of the peo-
ple OF the country, however. have

Free.Tradc and Lost Traae.

President Robertson, of the British
Chamber Of Commerce, said, in a. re-
cent speech, that the reason for the
decline which had come in British
trade with the United States, France
and Germany was to be found in the
protective policy which was in force
in each of those three countries; and
he prophesied that the time would
surely come when Great Britain would
be obliged to follow the example set
by the countries referred to and enact
a protective tariff law, British free
trade sentiment is evidently accom-
panying British trade in it's decline.
No nation is willing to play a losing
game forever, and Cobdenism has been
q losing game for Great Britain for
many a day. That it was not n losing
game from the beginning vas due sole
~ to the fact that Great Britain had,
under her former policy of protection,
made herself greatly superior in indus
trial to all other countries.
That, in spite of the great industrial
advantage which England possessed
when she adopted Cobden's economic
theories, she has so soon fallen behind
in the race for commerce is one Of the
most serious indictments against the
policy of free-trade which could possi-
bly, be made.
