JOHN BULL LEARNING.

That He Wants Protection.

That He Wants Protection.
A dispatch from London says: THE
chancellor of the eXchequer's new
duty on sugar has been welcomed by
nearly every Englishman, in this re-
spect differing much from the tax on
exported coal. Not many years ago
the refining Of raw sugar was one OF
the great staple trades in this country.
but it has fallen off TO great extent
in the last two decades. In 1884 out o
the total consumption in the United
Kingdom OF 100000 tons of refined
sugar British refineries supplied 80
per cent, while today out of total
consumption of 100000 tons they
only supply 40 per cent. British rein
ers are ardently hoping that the new
duty will stimulate their industry.
Here is an admission from the land
of free trade that protection has its
benefits - that it builds up and re-
tains industries and adds to the wealth
of a country
Free trade suited Britain when it
had no real competition in the markets
of the WORLD and when it was dumping
many MILL, s of its'goods in America.
But now that the tables are turned
Britain has begun to cry out for pre-
lection. The wonderful progress made
by America is an object lesson which

The Red Flag.


The red button and the red flag have
been the emblem of labor and revolu-
ton for more than g. 900 years. In the
ancient world the favorite colors of
the aristocracy were white and azure
blue, while red was plebeian. Mi
nerva and Ceres, the goddess of labor
and agriculture, were always repre-
sented as dressed in flaming red, and
the banners of the Greek and Roman
trade unions were of the same color.
The red flag nowhere in antiquity
meant ferocity and slaughter, but
rather typified the fact that all men,
wheher slaves or MASTERS, had in their
veins the same blood and in their
nature the same humanity. $50 s. -, -.
But in the frequent servile wars of
Italy and Greece the red flag gradually
became the emblem not of labor, but of
revolt. At one time when the rebel
lious slaves and gladiators under Spar
tacus defeated three Roman armies
the red flag was on the point of sup
planting the eagle in the imperial city
itself. 1t is related that the labor
soldiers were so fanatically devoted
to their flag that it was the custom of
their generals when in battle to hurl
it far into the enemy's ranks and SO
compel its devotees to rush forward
and recover it.-New York Post. : 60.

AMERICAS ADVANTAGES.
Natural Gas, Cheap Coal and Superior
Railway Facilities Give Us Lead.
Minneapolis journal :

Minneapolis Journal
j. Malcolm Lyon, who is member
of large exporting firm of London,
Eng, is in Minneapolis today looking
over the -four mills, saw mills and ele-
vators. Mr.. Lyons firm is one of the
largest in it's line in Europe. He is
touring the United States to make a
study of American methods and the
future of this country as competitor
for the world trade.
"We are merchants, said Mr.. Lyon
in explanation, "and it makes no
difference to us where we must locate
to do business We will establish
headquarters in Timbuctoo if neces-
sary. From what I have seen in the
United States, feel very sure that in
the near future our concern must be
we'll represented in New York in place
of maintaining so many branches in
England. America is revelation to
us. -. You may have heard that from
Englishmen before. 1 had no idea of
the vast resources of this country until
l began to come west.
"There is no use denying the fact
that in competition with this country
in many lines England is confronted
by obstacles which she cannot sur
mount. In your exports steel is sure
to be the leader. 1 have been all
through the Carnegie works. Natural
gas is doing the work for you. Where
we are obliged to use thousands of
tons of coal, Carnegie uses natural
gas at far lower cost. Coal will be
another big item in your export list.
American coal formations are such
that you can mine at less cost than we
can. In addition to all this there is
the item of transportation in which
American excels all countries. Your
cars are larger and better built. Your
grades are such that your railways
can haul longer tanins than ours.
The cost of maintaining a road in
this country is not as great as in Eng
land 1t is not hedged in with restric-
tions that are feature with us. Our
tunnels are low and will not admit of
the passage of the big engines that
you have. We have not the track
room because of the high price of land.
There are many things against us
where you have many in your favor.
England must give way in several
lines to her younger rival.
'Of course in the item of competi-
tom you have the labor question
against you. The labor troubles of
this country are yet to come. They
come with the advance in education
and in organization. But America s
labor troubles, no matter how fierce
they may be, will be only temporary.
Your resources are so vast as to fur
nish room for satisfactory adjustment.
In America the various classes mix
enough to allow better feeling to ex-
list between employer and employed
than in country like England, where
friction between the laboring and other
classes is liable to occur because the
lines are drawn more distinctly.

ADMINISTRATION GRATIFIED.
Has Believed Cuba Would Adopt the
Amendment All Along.

Washington, June 13.-The news of
The adoption Of the Plat amendment
by the Cuban constitutional conven-
lion was received with genuine graft
hcation here. The administration Of
6cials all along have felt confident
that its ratification would be accom-
plished when the Cubans realized that
this government was firm in its atti-
tude regarding the amendment and
that its acceptance would be neces-
sary before the United States would
consent to withdraw its supervision
from the island. Now that the Gu
bans have demonstrated their good
faith in the United States it is expect
ed that a fairly speedy evacuation Of
the island will follow, contingent,
only. upon the establishment Of a
state government in the island. Just
to what extent the United States will
require practical evidence of this
faith is not definitely known. but the
officials here think that such steps
should be taken by the Cubans as
will demonstrate their ability to main
tain order and peace so that the inter-
ests of all the people, native and for.
eign, shall be adequately protected.
An effective police force and other
measures necessary to the preserva-
ton Of good order and sanitation are
deemed as essential prerequisites in
the formation Of the new government.
The mere physical question of the
withdrawal of the American military
from the island is an easy one and
can be accomplished without much
delay. One cabinet officer expressed
the opinion that If the other require
ments were met our withdrawal might
be accomplished during the summer
and that Cuban independence might
be reality by next autumn.

SEEKING PROTECTION.
British Steel Works to Build Plant
In Pennsylvania.

HI ShhsS ~
One of the old Sheffield crucible steel
works which have been in operation in
England since 1174 is about to estab-
lish itself in Pennsylvania. The firm
name is w. JessOp & Sons, Limited
and S. ]. Robinson, the managing di,
rector, arrived in this country on Sat
urday for the purpose, as he said, of
constructing a mill in this country.
1--WE are going to build plant on this
side," he said, with a view of escaping
the tariff and for the purpose of eX-
tending Onr important business cOnnec-
tons in America. We shall make a
feature of the steel specialties which
the Dingley tariff precludes us from
manufacturing in England and ship
ping to the United States. Our new
works will be in the vicinity of Pitts
burg"
If Mr.. Babcock of Wisconsin could
have his way, we suppose that he
would have an extra session of con-
gress called at once to repeal the tariff
and keep out these new establish
ments. Mr.. Robinson says that they will
employ 500 men to begin with. What a
terrible blow the tariff is to our coun-
try when it induces foreigners to come
over here and establish themselves in
business and give employment to hun
dreds of American wOrkmen. Mr.. Rob
inson is only one of number of 9th
ers who have recently arrived in the
United States with a similar object in
view Competition will keep down
prices regardless of trusts.-Philadel-

OUR ALASKAN OUTPOST.
Rich in Gold, II is Also Valuable For
Stock Raising Purposes,
Chicago Inter Ocean

CHlcdSO luLer ocean
Mining experts say there are rich
gold deposits in the Aleutian islands.
This is not a rumor, but an official re-
port, made by Investigators sent TO the
islands by capitalists. If it is true, as
reported, that the ores of the islands
are richer in gold deposits than the
ores of any mine within our continental
territory, very important events may
follow.
Heretofore the gold discoveries in
Alaska have attracted emigrants to
the colder and interior regions. The
Klondike and other districts on the
Yukon are reached after long journeys
over difficult routes. The climate is
not such as to encourage permanent
settlement.
The Aleutian islands, however, are
nearly as far south as the northern
boundary line of the state of Washing
ton. The islands, numbering nearly
, 100, extend southwest from the Alaska
peninsula to point full 3, 900 miles
west of Oregon. The more important
islands represent a territory Is, 900
miles in extent, which, when the Rus
SLAMS occupied Alaska, had a native
population of %, 900
While the islands are mountainous,
grain and vegetables are grown, and
cattle grazing is as profitable as in our
northwestern states. Up to this time
the islands have been neglected in the
fur and fishing trade, but if attention
is called to them by the existence of
gold in paying quantities their devel-
opment will be in accordance with
their strategic and commercial i'm
portance.
They lie on the main ocean route
from San Francisco, Portland, and
Tacoma to Japan and China. They
form sort of halfway station be-
tween our Pacific coast and the Orient.
They extend. in nearly straight line
two-thirds of the way across the North
Pacific ocean to Asia. The larger is
lands are capable of sustaining con-
siderable population. Unalaska is 1875
miles long by 30 to so wide and has
good harbors. The winters are not
nearly as severe as those of the cattle
growing states of the northwest, and
/ it is claimed that cattle and sheep
could be kept on Unalaska at less ex-
pense and with lower percentage of
/ loss than in either Montana or the
! Dakotas.
/ Looking forward to the control of
/ the commerce Of the Pacific, the Aleu-
! tian islands are as essential to our sue
cess as is the possession of Hawaii and
harbor in the South Pacific They
are on the very highway of ocean
traffic between the two continents
They stand as guard line along Behr-
ing sea and are the key to the North
I Pacific They reach out as an outpost
! toward Asia All that they need is an
enterprising, hardy, and Industrious
Z population. There are very few
natives in the way of settlers, and if
history repeats itself Unalaska may
| develop as rapidly as did California,
beandcome one of the most important
| outposts of the United States.

NO HOPES OF A RESCUE.
Another Explosion Occurs at the Por,
Royal Mine.

West Newton, Pa, June 13.-An-
other explosion took place in the Port
Royal mine at o'clock p. m. in No.
2 shaft. 1t sent up whirlwind of oil,
dust and smoke, and proved conclu-
sively that the gas is still active in the
mine. 1t will probably be "a hours
before the mine inspectors can get to-
gether for the purpose of deciding as
to the advisability of making another
attempt to recover the dead in the
mine before flooding 1t. Coroner
Wynne Of West Moreland county
commenced an inquiry into the cause
Of the disaster at this place during the
afternoon. Only two witnesses were
examined when adjournment was
taken. The inquest will probably &C.
cupy several days, as the jury, which
Is composed of well known business
men, seems determined to get at the
cause of the disaster If 1t can be
learned from, any living person.

RURAL MAIL ROUTES.
II Keeps Postoffice Officials Busy Looking
After Them.

A Washington dispatch says:
Postoffice department officials are
having lively time trying to keep
pace with the demands of the people
with respect to the rural free delivery
service. The new schemes and plans
for developing the service are brought
forward with greater rapidity than the
officials can keep up with.
No new branch Of the public service
has made greater advancement during
the past year than this extension of
mail service to the rural districts.
While it was contemplated some
months ago that before this time it
would be possible to give rural carriers
authority to issue money orders it has
been impossible to perfect the plans.
The department is so crowded by the
work of extending the routes that they
have not had time to consider the
money order branch of the system.
The prospect now is, however, that the
carriers will be given the right to is
sue money orders during the coming
fiscal year. The rural service is ex-
tending rapidly. There are now nearly
a, 800 routes against 1900 year ago.
1t is claimed at the department that
the cost of service as it expands is
materially reduced in proportion, and
this reduction is brought about by the
discontinuance of fourth-class post
offices and star mail routes While the
rural sytsem was in the experimental
stage the department officials were un-
willing to discontinue offices or old
mail routes in the fear that congress
might curtail the appropriation for the
rural service, and thus cause disar-
rangement of the postal system in the
country. Under the present law car
riers on the routes are appointed for
one year only, and large part of the
time of the officials has been occupied
recently in making out new commits
sions for carriers This the explana-
ton offered by the officials in the de-
lay in getting new routes which have
been ordered established with the
promptness which patrons have ex-
pocted

DISCREPANCY In JUSTICE,

Red Wing Republican: Sixty dol
lars or sixty days seems to be stated
punishment down in Winona. A
petty thief stole few articles of little
or no value and Saturday the court
said to him $3.50 or sixty days. An
other prisoner who had stabbed girl
but didn't succeed in killing her also
got sentence of 1890 or sixty days. 4"
There seems to be a discrepancy in
this kind of justice somewhere.

LIE Sueur News: The route of the

Last week the surveyors were over in
Rice county near Wheatland, trying to
find way into that village. At Mont

Along part of the line the arrange
ments with the farmers expire July
1st unless the company starts to grade
previous to that time. While we have
not particle of doubt that the road
will be built, it will be some little
time before it starts, judging from

The Practical Farmer, Philadelphia,
Pa, says: A thorough brushing and
cleaning is often necessary, but many
cleansing fluids contain strong drugs
which are not advisable for this pur-
pose, for they often fade the cloth.
The following is very simple and
effective method of cleaning the coat
collars and removing the spots from
wooden clothing. Prepare a strong,
foamy soapsuds by dissolving Gold
Dust Washing Powder in hot water;
dip clean, stiff brush in it and
scrub the soiled parts with it. An old
tooth brush that has been discarded for
toilet purposes is good for this work
Dip it in frequently, changing the
suds for a clean one whenever it gets
dirty. When the spots are removed,
scrub with clear water and hang it up
until dry enough to iron. Press it on
the wrong side, or if that is not con-
venient, cover the right side with a
cloth and iron until perfectly dry.

he could see the score, was not forth
coming. The conductor was in de-
