duced to a formula like this; It
would be reasonable to reduce each
duty to an amount equal to the differ
ence in cost between American and
foreign articles. 1t is only necessary
to find out the cost of producing the
foreign article and the difference be-
tween the sums is the measure of DUTY
to be laid on the foreign article. That
is ample protection, for foreigners
who wish to introduce goods in our
country would also nave transporta-
ton and insurance charges to pay.
Of course, protection above the
point indicated becomes a bounty. a
gratuity, to the interest receiving it
and a tax upon the nation. The great
extent to which we have in this coun-
try carried the un%scientific theory of
protection makes it more difficult to
establish the scientific system. Long
continuance of a false policy makes
it seem to be an irrefragable truth
and right to the beneficaries. They
are not to be severely cens,lred, for
they have had every encouragement
to be deeply grounded in their belief.
This belief will ultimately give place
to the economic doctrine Sc forth in
the last speech of President Mckinley.

THE AROUSED INTERESTS"

Minneapolis Journal: The ,all Of
cocks bill providing for the free-!ist-
ing of many articles manufactured by
the steel trust and reducing duties in
several of the tariff schedules, have
naturally had the effect of bringing
out the strong a%ntagonism of indus
trial interests which have long en-
joyed the benefits of high protective
duties. The late President Mckinley
thought the time had arrived for some
modification of customs duties and for
the adoption of a judicious reciprocity
policy. which would enable this ma
tor to hold the trade advantages it
has acquired abroad during the last
few years and to amplify them. The
conviction of many of these interests
nc doubt is, that duties which gave
them a profitable field for commercial
exploitation some years ago at pres
ent, ought, as a commercial necessity,
to be continued indefinitely and that
tariff laws should be regarded as un-
changeable except, perhaps, to in
crease them. There can be no change
of this conviction until public senti-
ment is strong enough to insist that
the policy of protection shall be adj
ministered according to the correct,
scientific meaning of the term.
There are many industrial interests
whose promoters have a most errone-
dus idea of the meaning of protection.
Some think that their products re-
quire 100 per cent protection. Others
think $50 or 200 per cent is only fair.
Others stand firm at SO per cent. Bah
cock gets near to the true conception
of protection. In his statement he
says he has not reduced a schedule
where labor is the greatest part of
the cost of the article and that there
is not a single item in the bill which
will in any way affect labor. In max
ing reductions each article is given
full protection, as compared with the
cost of production in other countries,
leaving a margin in our favor. The
true protective principle may be re-

FAMINE IN THE OZARKS,

Extreme Destitution Causes Many to
Substst Upon Nuts and AcOrns.
Destitution such as to necessitate
prompt and generous relief is said to
exist in Ozark county, Mo-, a noun
famous region near the Arkansas line,
says the Kansas City Journal. So
complete is the famine there as a re-
suit of the long continued drought, it
is reported. that some unfortunate
families are sustaining life on what
the woods furnish. such as acorns and
nuts.
There is but little wheat grown in
that locality. and the corn crop has al
ways bean the chief source of susie
nance among the poorer mountaineers.
This year the corn persisted in the tas-
sci, and whole fields failed to yield
even a bushel Of nubbins. The cattle
and hogs had to be sold in the latter
part of the summer because of a lack
of feed for wintering them, and the
cold weather has found the country
stripped of live stock as never before.

Whether his sympathies were MOI
with the Law and Order League OF
whether he was afraid of offending
the sports" is not known, but at all
events the county attorney of Deer
Lodge saw fit to leave Anaconda Fri
day morning and appointed w. H.
Trippet, his predecessor in office, as
special county attorney. Friday night
was the time fixed for one of the EN-
tertainments which the league said
should not be given there anymore.
Mr.. Trippet having all the powers and
authority Of a,county attorney, as his
first official act served notice on the
promoters of the fight that if any at
tempt were made to pull it off" at
Anaconda or in the county there
would be a whole lot of trouble for
somebody. AS Mr.. Trippet is a man
with a record, having sent
n prizefigater to the peniten-
tiary for participating in a
%so-called glove contest" the
mob knew that it was no idle threat
he "a making and accordingly de-
clared off the entertainment.
Mr.. Trippet read the law to those
who sought to induce him to refrain
from interfering and said they could
exercise their judgment and pleasure
in the matter, but if the two contest
ants met in a ring and struck one an
other with their fists it would be
enough for him to know that the law

as he saw fit and believed to be in &C
cordance with his duty as county at
torney. He also made it very clear
that he was not to be deceived by the
%pretense of a boxing contest" say
ing that it was very evident if it was
to be nothing more than a mere bit
of exercise such as could be seen in
any legitimate gymnasium several
hundred men from other places would
not care enough to witness it to go
to the expense of paying railroad fare.
The newspapers bringing an account
of the matter say a message was re-
ceived from Billings making a bid for
the fight, and that Helena, the states
of culture and refinement, was
another that was anxious to have

While the old superstition concern
ing the infallibility of kings may still
survive in some quarters, it will prob
ably not prevent due deliberation and
study on the part of most people be-
fore they decide to accept as true
Edwards statement concerning the
closeness of the wars end in South
Africa. Without wishing to be dis
respectful to his majesty, it need not
surprise him if a majority of those
who have read his declaration con
clude to wait until tney have heard
from the Beers. With the stubborn
ness characteristic of the race the
men of the welt and kopjes have so
often smashed declarations of the
same sort that it is but natural that
more or less suspicion should arise
whenever any one essays similar pre-
dictions even though they come from
the king himself.

nov appears, the Indian still has the
old fire in him and it can be started,
afresh, to the detriment Of himself
and his white neighbor. Insistance
upon the order of the commissioner
may start that fire and when once
burning may break into an awful
blaze. There are plenty of Indians
who have long ago thrown aside paint
and given up wearing long hair and
who are to all intents and purposes
becoming as whitemen, but let there
be an uprising and they will not re-
main passive or Indifferent as to the
outcome, neither will they take the
side of the whites. They will become
Indians again and cheeks that have
not known paint for years will be
daubed again, and it will be with
black.
But after al has been said on the
subject that can be said, how is the
commissioner going to enforce his or
der? Under what right will he stop
the rations Of treaty Indians? Moth
ing under the law or treaties made
with any of the tribes gives him the
power to enforce arbitrary orders of
the kind he has issued, It is true
he may make them, but to secure COM
pliance with them is another matter.

II JONES ORDER,

1t is possible that commissioner
Jones understands the Indian char
acter better than the many white men
who have spent years among them
and lived on the borders of their reser-
vations, and that his order compelling
the Indians to cut their hair and wear
it in accordance with the custom of
the white man will be accepted and
complied with without a murmur or
protest. But it is not likely that such
will be the case. The Indian is we'd
ded to custom and tradition and
though much as he has progressed in
the direction of adopting the ways of
the pale face, he is not yet arrived at
that stage where he is willing to give
up his last distinguishing manners,
customs and characteristics and com
pletely efface his individuality and
be come a white man to the degree the
commissioner says he must. If attempt
is made to enforce the order it need
not surprise Mr.. Jones if he hears of
AAAAo outDA OdhO oAu. lOuU1C VI d SOlI-
Gus nature. Possibly he does not care
for this, as he is safe and in no danger
whatever of being made to feel the
Indians resentment at what he con-
siders unwarranted interference with
his rights and privileges.
But why necessary that the red
man schould suddenly be deprived Of
his long hair and made to go with it
cropped close to his head! The
Crows, who are, perhaps, further ad-
vanced on the road to civilization than
any other western tribe, still cling to
the long hair that their ancestors
wore. They have discarded about ev-
cry other relic of their primeval, bar
barrie condition. To see one wear a
blanket or other portion of the dress
of their fathers is a rarity, but all
wear their hair as their fathers wore
it. They are rapidly becoming farm
ers and herdsmen and are already
practically self-sustaining and in every
way giving evidence Of their progress
toward ultimate and final civilization.
Nobody who is familiar with them or
their progress has as yet been able
to discern that because they allow
their hair to grow to a length longer
than hat worn by the Indian commits
sioner they are less able to guide a
plow or herd a lot of cattle or per-
form any of the other labor which
they now do in the direction of gain
ing their own livelihood.
The Indian has been pushed back
and hemmed in until it seems that it
would be impossible to crowd him
further and of late years he has taken
it all without murmur or complaint,
realizing that he has been whipped,
but there is a limit beyond which it
would seem not safe to go without
again making him a warrior and
cause him to make one expiring eff
fort to resent the wrongs he has suf-
fered. The reservations given him
under sacred promise of the govern
ment that they would forever be his
are continually being whitfield down
and what little he still retains of his
original holdings is being sought
after by the whites, but he submits
and accepts what he is permitted tc
hold. Peaceful and submissive as he

him young man in a peasants
dress, holding in his hand a long

this task means. "A successful
breeder may be nothing of fan
cier, for be may know nothing
more about his fowls than how
to breed them and in a general
way prefer them to some other
breed as being more attractive in
his eyes; be follows the fancier.
If he is wise, will recognize that
he is only follower and to his
trade. TO clothe a bird with
color means first that the color
will enhance to the greatest pos
sible extent the grace Of shape,
beauty of st alton and harmonic
with the size. If you apply this
principle to the Mediterranean
breeds you will see the diff
ference nshape andsi they are
so appropriately colored as to be
almost beyond Improvement. In
each case, becomeswith most ofus
merely question which we pre-
fer. The Andalusian would
look abused in the feathers of
any other breed of Mediterra-
mean. To give youillustrations of
this, take such a small thing
seemingly in shape as whether
the comb follows the shape of
neck or stands out straight from
the back of the head, and you
will soon see how one style en-
phasizes the beauty of the Leg
horn and the other the beauty
OF the Minorca; or the bright gay
colors Of the Brown Leghorn
would not suit the Andalusian in
either shape or size, neither
would the color of the Minorca.
But we do not all fancy alike, so
we may want a different style
from either, and in this differ
ence of taste there is room for
the Andalusian, and l should say
large room, when it comes to oc-
IcuDvits true place.
Artists have always been par
tial to the shades of the different
colors, similar to what is known
to sierra Gotta" in red color;
they mostly use these shades as
ground colors and heighten them
by lines and contrasts in bright
tints. This is the system which is
followed in the makeup of the
Blue Andalusian. Tohave clothed
the bird in a simple dull blue Of
even bright blue would not have
helped, but married the shape
&c. To get this blue color so uni
versally attractive to the artistic
eye, and at the same time help t
beautify the shape, has been
matter of artistic skill not ex
celled in the makeup of any
other breed. The clean cut darl
lacing adds detail to the grace o.
shape, and gives life to the color
In the males the contrast of the
glossy, dark hackle back and
saddle with the blue laced breast
and body is simply a stroke
of genius. To ONTO details as tC
shape color, utility and breeding
the Andalusian would take
considerable space,so | will leave
the subject for the present, il
hope that may have suggested
something to any fancier
whether of this breed or am
other. FANCIER.
