ten years it has almost trebled its popu-
lation. 1t has now about 10000 people,
1t does a big wholesale and retail bust
ness. but the most of it's money comes
from wheat
The wheat is bagged on the farm. The
cars carry it to the edge of the bluff, and
Italian laborers take the bags and pitch
them into chutes leading to the vessels
The bags fly down one after the other at
the rate of several to the minute. At
harvest time the wheat becomes congest-
ed at Rosario. The railroads have more
than they can do to carry the crop, and
almost all other traffic has to be suspend
ed. The result is that the wheat is piled
up IN bags at the stations and left there
until 1t can be shipped. There are no
barns in the Argentine. The weather is
such that the stock feeds out of doors
the year around. There is no chance for
the farmer to store his wheat in barns

The recent storm on the Atlantic
coast, in which so many staunch YES
sells were lost, calls attention to the IA
nous old schooner Polly, which was
one OF the more fortunate of the coast
ing fleet. The Polly is older than most
men, for it was built in Amesbury,
Mass, in 1905. If the hull timbers of
the sturdy little sixty-fve-ton ship
could speak, they might tell many an
exciting story of adventure on the salt
seas, for they have seen nearly CEN
tury of active service. When the Polly

HAS NOT CHANGED.
President Mckinley Remains Firm I'm
His Former Position on the
Tariff Question.

The democratic newspapers are
making much of the recent statement
of Nj. Jules Siegfried. n former mem
President Mckinley had told him he
was no longer an ultra protectionist;
that it was necessary for the United
States 10 fight for foreign markets,
and that a modification of the pro-
tective tariff would be necessary to
accomplish that purpose.
While the president cannot be ex-
pected to make public statement
concerning the utterances of NJ. Sieg-
fried, republican leaoers who are ia
miliar with Mr.. McKinley's views have
promptly expressed doubt that he
ever made the statement attributed
to him. Senator Hanna says he
knows the president is in favor of
projections; that he is opposed to ma
terial notifications of the Dingley
law; and that If any concessions are
to be made to European nations in
the matter of the tariff they shall be
through reciprocity treaties provid-
ing for mutual concessions. A mem
Der of the cabinet has made n similar
statement to the Leaders Washing
ton correspondent.
If that is where the president
stands, and there can be no doubt
that his position has been stated cor
rectly, he has not changed within the
past ten years. The Mckinley law,
which was enacted in 1890, for the
first time gave force and effect to the
theory of reciprocity. and reciprocity
has been one of the cardinal prin-
ciples Of republican policy ever since
OF course, the free traders are anx-
ious to see the Dingley law broken
down, and they will doubtless attempt
to bring about that result at the next
session of congress.-Cleveland Lead
