This Mainland might be the United
States. while the island might represent
Cuba, or Hawaii or the Philippines,
or, in regard to other products all the
outside world.
The best recent example showing the
comparative merits of protection and
free trade is that afforded by the two
Australian colonies, New South Wales
and Victoria. These colonies are
separated only by a river. In 1896
New South Wales began the progressive
abolition of her tariff duties These
were to be reduced gradually until at
the expiration of five years 1901 the
only duties remaining should be those
on liquors and tobaccos. As substi
tute for the tariff land tax, a crude
and partial application of Henry
George system, was adopted This was
supplemented by an income tax. The
effect was startling. The decennial
census taken in 1901 showed great
gains for the free trade colony, while
the protection colony had actually lost
New South Wales, gained $4,000, or
80 per cent, while Victoria's capital
Melbourne. had gained only 5000, or
less than 1 per cent.
The democratic press is slow to en-
Tighten its readers by calling their at

It's time is so occupied explaining the
difference between democratic tweedle-

it has little time for more important
work. If instead of striving to have
the party stand in with the monopoly
interest or urging the claims of men of
plutocratlc instincts for leadership, the
democratic press would deny the justice
or necessity of any tariff at all, the
country might in time shake off the
leeches which ale draining its life

Century,

Beatrice, Neb July l0.-This city is
practically isolated from the outside
world on account of the worst Hood that
has prevailed here for years Heavy
rains north OF this city last night caused
the river to rise rapidly and everything
is flooded. Residents OF the lowlands
are leaving their homes and seeking
places OF safety on high ground. On

here and Lincoln is suspended.
DesMoines, Iowa, July 10.-The Des-
Moines river reached the hign water
mark OF 1892, which was twenty feet at
midnight At this hour the levee on the
north side of town broke, flooding n
large residence section. Most OF the
families removed earlier in the evening.
A small break occurred in the Raccoon
river levee just after midnight and a
large force of men is attempting to hold
the hJod in check. Two Rock Island

AT Superior, Nebraska, the Burlington
railroad had 1000 feet OF track washed

Santa Fe was blocked last night by a
