Germany and Protection.

The fact of American prosperity UNI
der the protective policy of the R4ub-
lican party is causing much talk in
other countries. But the economic con-
ditions existing in other or in old Eu-
ropean countries L entirely diverse
from those existing here. The German
government has decided to yield to the
demands of the .Agrarians and to i'm
pose a protective tariff. The agitation
has been long and persistent and the
government yielded only with great
reluctance. 1t is probable that n pro-
tective tariff will be imposed in the
near future. which will put Germany
Theoretically upon the same plane as
the United States in regard to foreign
nations. OF course the Germans can
not expect the same benefits from a
protective tariff as those enjoyed by
this country, Germany does not pro-
duce enough meat and enough food
stuffs for her OWL population. The i'm
position of a protective tariff will.
therefore. raise the price of meat and
of breadstuffs to such al extent that
tile general public will suffer for the
sake of increasing the profits Of the

Of war held by the British to Maurice,
who wrote ther report in cipher. and pre-
pared 10 send it to Gen. Washington,
One morning Molly was sent by Mrs.
Darrah to kensington. A pass had. been
procured for her under the name of
Bridget O'Martin. Mounted on a sorrel
mare. she galloped down the road and
passed the pickets. The air was sharp
and frosty. She was picking her way
along the road as carefully as she could,
not looking ahead, and did not observe
the squad of dragons coming toward
her. The dragons, like the young wom-
an. were engaged in picking out the
ing a sharp lookout.
POUNDS: this is a beastly road" de-
clared the captain of the squad. "Egad.
il the Yankees were to fall on our rear
now. we would be at their mercy"
Why SO, captain!' asked a %lienten-
ant.
I'VE could never escape through this
snow and ice with our horses going
through to their knees at every step"
Molly looked UP. and to her utter
amazemcnt she found herself almost upon
a party of British Dragons.
"Esad. captain" cried a young officer,
here is a beauty"
Hold up. my charmcr." cried the cap
tain in command. Don't ride over us,
my angel. Much as we love the celestial,
we don't care TO be trampled in the earth
by them They drew up within a few
feet of each other. and Molly Pitcher
gazed into the face Of the officer in COM
mand. Despite her usual self-possession.
She started, al exclamation of surprise
escaping her lips. He was Captain Mark
Tapley, the Tory whom she had met at
Harcourt Hall. Molly's thin disguise was
quickly penetrated by the keen eyes of
the Tory. He gave her a monetary
glance and cried:

"Egad! by POUNDS. we have met be-
fore. That face once seen is not likely
to be forgotten, my fair damscl."
"Who are you, We blackguard! Git out
o my way or I'll rode over yez."
NO, no; my dear one. That strong
Irish brogue has been acquired since we
met at Harcourt Hail."
Molly knew that capture would be IA
tai. She had some very important papers
about her person, which Captain Fitzger-
aid had entrusted her to take to Wash
ington at Valley Forge. The troopers
gathered about, almost surrounding her.
Captain Mark Tapley touched his
horses flank with his heel. and the ami
NAL sprang toward the mounted spy. She
held a riding whip in her hand, the butt
end Of which was loaded with lead. As
the captain reached her side she struck
him a blow that seemed to crack his
skull, sent his cooked hat flying from his
head, and made him reel in the saddle.
Then the daring woman wheeled her
steed about and flew like the wind in
an opposite direction from the city. She
had gone fully two hundred PAGES before
the stunned Tory was able to shout:
stop her! Shoot herr"
Two or three of the dragons drew
their pistols and shouted to the daring
rider to halt. but she needed them not.
The loud reports Of their weapons were
followed by the whistling Of bullets
through the air, close to Molly's head.
She had now gained the ridge, and was
speeding AWAY at n rate that seemed
to defy pursuit. Waving her hand de-
family. she disappeared over the hill just
as four or five more shots were fred ut
her.
"She must not escape! She is a spy."
roared Tapley. After herr"
The troopers clapped spurs to their
horses TANKS and went laundering in
the direction the fugitive had gone. They
came in sight of her ms she sped over
the snow-covcred plain. and began blaz-
ing away. Their bullets struck up the
snow on each side Of the daring woman,
yet on she flew, unframed.
Course the woman! Curse her" roared
the Tory, squirting his horse to the top
Of his speed over the frozen earth. In
his rage he outstripped his men, and Mt
the end of an hour was half a mile ahead
Of them. The fugitive was still riding
in a southwest course, leaving him far
behind, though her horse was blowing
hard.
Stop" roared the infatuated Tory. az
will not harm you if you halt! II you
don't, I'll fay you alive"
Along the road her courser sped.
Though Molly was not as well %acquaint-
ed with the country as the Tories, she
knew there was a Wing living about six
miles up the creek. and as soon as it was
dark, turned her horses head in that d.
rection.
Shortly the lights Of the farm house
could be seen, and she urged her tired
steed toward it and called to the farmer
who was carrying an armful Of wood to
the house:
"Nr. Simon! Mr.. simony"

"Wronc" But Useful.

Protection may be theoretically
wrong, but that it is practically useful
in its workings is again shown by an
official report-this time from our Con-
sui at Chicago. This report refers to
the tin plate industry, aud the figures
quoted are not only interesting. but
also significant and disquieting. Down
to 1891 the manufacture of tin plate
was practically unknown in the States,
which used to import about 600 million
pounds a year, nearly all from the Uni
ted Kingdom, and much of it from
South Wales and the Forest of Dean.
In 1901 the Mckinley tariff act came
into force. and the succeeding years
have seen a steady and rapid reduction
in the quantity of imported tin plates,
and a corresponding increase in the
home production. The 6O0,OOO,OOO
pounds sent to America by us in 1892
has shrunk down to about 1OO,OOO,OOO
pounds, while the tin plates made in
the States have Increased from nothing
in 1891 to SOO,OOO,OOO pounds in 1898.
Ten years ago there were no tin plate
mills In the States; now there are over

Why the United State. Leads.

Leroy Beaulieu advocates a CONNER
cial alliance of the great European ma.
lions against the United States. That
authority deems it necessary to keep
this country from capturing the best of
the worlds markets. 1t is the country
that has a preponderance. Of resources
that wins. We have iron in abundance
and our granaries hold enough to sup
ply foreign nations when their food re-
sources give out. Impossible schemes
will not do. European nations cannot
afford to form a compact against the
United States. With varying tariffs
they are powerless to form a compact.
The manifest destiny of the United
States is to lead hereafter in all of the
great concerns of the world. And we
lead from the very fact that the ex-
ports of the United States have increas-
ed from 1921. 10000 in 1895 to $1.4OO..
100000 in 1900. and because the great
est proportionate part of this increase
Is in manufactures. \ nation of skilled

brave soldiers and able statesmen, will
