A Farmers Tariff.

There was a time when Senator
Morgan advocated a protective duty
for coal and iron, in which his state
was so largely interested. The result
of that protection Injured not to the
manufacturers, but to the landowners,
the miners, the transporters and the
farmers who supplied with food the
new cities like Birmingham, Admission,
Shefield. Bessemer and a host of
others which sprang up from the de-
velopment of the mineral region.
The protective duty on cotton goods
has kept the home market free from
the competition of Great Britain and
Germany, and has built up factories
all over the South. These mills have
added ane-half cent to the price of
cotton, being able to pay that much
more than the Northern mills. This
addition means two and a half dollars
a bale, or twenty-five millions on the
total annual crop. This money goes
to the cotton planter; and the mills,
besides creating this new fund, are
creating cities in every Southern
state, giving new and valuable en-
ploment to labor and affording new
markets for farm produce.
The protective duty on sugar is re-
storing and expanding the farming
lands of Louisiana and building up
factories throughout the West, prom

Actress Has Novel Bracelet.

? Miss Nellie Stewart, the Drury

without a certain bracelet. 1t is enor-

round it is woven a pretty story. When
acting in Australia some years ago a
number of admirers dubbed together
and presented her with a purse of 1875
sovereigns fresh from the Sydney
mint. Her manager had the coins
melted down and made into a solid
gold bracelet, which Miss Stewart has
worn for the last fourteen years with
out once removing it.

~jlM" HILL AND TARIFF.
Mistaken Presumption that Protec-
tion's Usefulness Has Been
Exhausted.

Exhausted.
In his speech to the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association in Chicago, Mr..
James ]. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railway company, expressed
himself as follows regarding the prac-
teal operation of the policy of pro-
lection:
I'VE have enjoyed all the benefits
of protective tariff for many years,
and whatever good it can do in the
way of building up infant industries
has already been accomplished The
growth of our enormous iron and steel
industries, which are pointed out as
the result of our protective tariff,
can be more surely traced to our
enormous resources in the iron
mines of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota than to all other sources"
1t would seem that the free-trade
microbe has not been wholly driven
out of Mr.. Hills system. 1t was in
great measure dislodged by the events
of 1S93-1897. Prior to that time he
was a Democrat and a free-trader.
The experiment of the second Cleve-
land regime opened his eyes, and he
is understood to have supported Nc
Kinley, both in 1896 and 1900. In
1893 Mr.. Hill found it necessary to
put in force a sweeping reduction in
wages throughout the Great Northern
system, and it was not until after Nc
Kinley's inauguration, in 1897, that
the former rate o. wages was restored.
Our enormous resources in the iron
mines of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota did not prevent Mr.. Hill
from cutting wages, nor did they en-
able him to restore wages until after
a protective tariff regime had been
installed. Protection created the
iron and steel industries of the United
States by securing to them a sure
market and defending them against
in curious foreign competition. The
iron mines of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota would have lain dor
mant for another fifty years if Great
Britain had been permitted to continue
her monopoly of supplying the United
States with iron and steel products.
Iron or steel mines do not open or
develop themselves They await de-
mand. Protection created and still
maintains that demand.
In saying that protection has done
all it can do in building up infant in
dustries Mr.. Hill seems to suggest the
conclusion that in his opinion the time
has arrived when we can profitably
abandon protection and open our doors
to unrestricted foreign competition.
We do not believe that Mr.. Hill thinks
or meant to say anything of the sort.
We do not believe that he would well
come free-trade. AS an investor in
great railroad properties, no man is
more dependent than he is upon a
condition of general prosperity. No
man knows better than he that we
cannot have free trade and prosperity
at the same time. Mr.. Hill knows a
great many things and knows them
extremely well. He knows too much
to be a free-trader.
