accounted for by the fact that the av-

enumerated were higher in 1900 than
in 1899, although in some instances the
advance was but a fraction Of a cent.

Protection and Wage Farmers.
l London cablegram of March

Protection and Wage Farmers.
A London cablegram of March II
says:
Owing to the depression in various
trades and general business through
out England, 220, 900 English work
ingmen have had to accept an average
reduction of two shillings CAS- cents)
a week in their wages within the past
80 days.
Loss of markets through the COM
petition of American manufactured
products is chiefly at the bottom of the
industrial depression now complained
OF in Great Britain. Two protection
list countries, the United States and
Germany, are winning world trade
away from British producers, and are
even displacing British goods in the
British market The blow falls first
upon English wage-earners,. who are
compelled to accept a reduction of pay
as the only way to hang on to such
employment as they have The same
thing happened in the United States in
1S94-97, when a Democratic tariff law
allowed foreigners to displace Ameri-
can goods in the American market.
But the Dingley law restored the Am
erican market to American producers,
and in place of wholesale reduction of
wages, as in England, wages have in
creased in our country, and employ
ment was never before so plentiful.
That is how protection affects wages
and wage earners.

Military Ardor.

Military ardor still possesses the
flower of the country. OF the young
men now in the volunteer regiments
1000 have filed applications for the
610 second lieutenants to be filled in
the reorganizeS army. And there are
1000 who served in the war with Spain
asking for any places that may be left
after the president and secretary of
war have made selections from the
1000. A rule excludes from consider
alton as eligible others than those of
the two classes mentioned. But for
this barrier there would be countless
thousands applying and bringing to
bear political and social influences for
army commissions The pressure even
from those who are not now in the
volunteer service and who were in the
regiments from the states is very great.
A second lieutenancy in the army il

of it draws a moderate salary. With
the army reorganized the opportunities

The insurance companies have come
to a new decision with regard to the
granting of policies to the crowned
heads of Europe since the death of
King Humbert. They are willing to
insure them against all risks, save that
of assassination, at a slightly higher
rate than that exacted from ordinary
individuals. This higher rate is pre-
sumably demanded in view of the fact
that royal blood is supposed to be vi
tiated and impoverished. Kinng Milan.
about four months ago, endeavored to
insure his life. But although he was
mere ex-king, the companies to
which he applied would only consent
to give him a policy with the special
assassination clause, which he declined.
and his son, the present king, when he
attempted a sshort time ago to insure
his life in favor of Queen Draga, failed
to come to any understanding with the
company, owing to the same stipula-
ton.
