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,
Sheffield, Bessemer and 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 one-half a cent to the price Of
cotton, being able to pay that much
more than the Northern mills. This
addition means two and 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
Using at no distant day to retain
among our farmers the hundred mill
lions now paid annually for foreign
sugar.
The protective duty is not, as Sena-
tor Morgan suggests. manufacturer
tariff. 1t is just as much farmers
tariff. There may be, and no doubt
should be, readjustments of the tariff
to meet changed conditions, but when
the issue is raised against protection
as a principle, the senator will find
that the people of his own state will
be slow to follow his leadership

A Story of the Prairie.

THE CENTURY MAGAZINE is about to
print serial which will have an es-
pecial interest to people who are at
home on the prairies. 1t is called
1.-THE Autobiography of Prairie GIRL"
and the author is Eleanor Gates, q
young woman who spent her childhood
in Dakota, and who thus writes from
the closest personal observation.
The time of Miss Gates story is
about twenty-five years ago; it is put
in the form of personal narrative of
the life of little girl, and there is
hardly phase or an event of prairie
life which is not touched upon in these
pages,-the blizzard, breaking colts,
horse stealing by Indians, school days
on the frontier, fighting gophers and
badgers, cattle raising, and other typi-
cal phases of hardship or prosperity.
1t is not novel, but the. same charo
acters appear and reappear in the story
with reality which impresses the
reader with con fidence in the truth OF
the narrative.
1.-THE Biography of Prairie Girl"
will begin in the August number of
The Century and it will be illustrated.

Standard Time in Ohio.

Noon comes at 11.27, legal standard
time, in Akron, o., according to de-
cision just handed down by the SUI
preme court of the state of Ohio.
Thomas Mier took out fire insurance
policy on his saloon at 1880, standard
time, four years ago, the policy being
dated noon of that day. At the very
minute he was getting the policy the
saloon caught fire and was burned.
Ohio law makes standard time legal
time, and the company refused to pay
the $4,000 insurance on Mier's saloon.
The case was fought through the SUI
preme court, which has decided that
moon" meant the time the sun passed
the meridian at Akron, which Is
,11:27, standard time. The court or
dered the insurance company to pay.

Wanted to Know His Value.

An unusual letter was read to the
Ruthin (Eng.) Board of Guardians re-
Gently. 1t was addressed by pauper
to the clerk Of the board, and begged
him to inquire Of wax chandler what
he would give for the writer's skin,
and whether his body would do, If
melted, to make candles or some form
of fabrication for machinery axles.
Furthermore he wished to learn of a
doctor for what his bones were best
adapted-whether they were most
suitable for knife and fork handles,
what price they ought to fetch, and
whether they would command better
price If sent to make handles for sur.
gical instruments.

Jim" HILL AND TARIFF.
Mistaken Presumption that Protec.
tons 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:
1--WE have enjoyed all the benefits
of a 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 1893-1S97. Prior to that time he
was a Democrat and 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
Kinleys Inauguration, in 1897, that
the former rate OF 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
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
injurious 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.

Women In New Vacations.

Women make excellent detectives.
There are now nearly $50 women in
the employ of detective agencies in
this country, and over $50 in the
United States. Women explorers are
increasing yearly in number. Miss
Kingsley was followed by Mrs. French
Sheldon, who recently finished a
2,00e-mile march through Africa at
the head of a caravan Of $50 natives.

cial equality. If free-trade writer's
are arguing the question of political
economy from the standpoint Of the
average Office clerk they are work
ing on line that is most compli-
Gated, but while the rate of wages
in this case does not respond as
quickly to industrial activity. it IS
nevertheless true that the size of the
Office force is quickly reduced when
general business is poor, and these
young men are too proud to work at
manual occupations are not too proud
to go home and live on the money
earned or saved by their fathers in
the obnoxious carpenter shops or iron
mills.

His Great Mistake.

"The mistake of my life," said the
reminiscent man, was when I was
selling patent medicines in Russia.
One day l attended a review OF a
crack regiment, and suddenly every
man in the ranks began sneezing for
all he was worth. In a trice I had
my sample case open and was trying
to sell the commissary a carload of
my anti-grip pellets. when he rudely
informed me that the troops were only
hailing with delight the arrival of

Another of Lothrop Company's new
books, recently published, is "The
Spenders," by Harry Leon Wilson.
The book is story of America, East
and West, artistically combining the
people of the mining camps and the
gay society of the East. The hero has
inherited great property. Meantime
he becomes cnamored of girl of
decedent New York family, but dis
covers that the family are fishing for
rich husband for the beautiful girl.
He leaves his mines, goes to New York
and to spending the family millions.
His old grandfather eggs him on until
his wealth is gone, but at the same
time, while steering the young man to
the losing side of ventures, plays the
winning side himself, with the boys
cash, thus saving his fortune for him
without his knowledge. Of course he
meets the lady of his love and it all
ends happily.

Genius From Her.
There is a tradition that John Pier
pont Morgan wrote poetry when he
was youth, long before he even
dreamed of coming to be regarded as
the master mind in the realm Of
finance. 1t is reasonably fair to pre-
sumo that the tradition is based on
fact, for his maternal grandfather was
poet of some distinction, Rev. John
Pierpont, who died in Medford, Mass,
in 1866. Juliet Pierpont, the clergy
mans daughter, and mother of the
financial colossus of the present day,
inherited a good deal of her fathers

Bassett, a story of a garden with but
three characters in the narrative; the

the garden assumes distinct person
