or who are interested in the best in
American books will find delightful
pleasure in reading these volumes and
studying the pictures which, in the F'ic-
tional Rambles throw SO much light on
our classic stories in the making. In a
list of one hundred best American au
thors of twenty years ago, more than half
would be found to be Bostonese. Today
the list would not show as large a pro-
portion, yet the array of literary talent
that comes out of that staid old city will
convince any one that Boston is still re-
markably rich in book culture.
ITO the traveller, writes Mrs. Car
ruth, "the Old World owes its attractive
ness quite as much to the creations of
Shakespeare, Scott, Thackeray, Dickens,
Balzac, Hugo and Dumas as to the princes,
statesmen and soldiers or whose births
and deaths history tells us with so much
pomp and precision. 1t was said by an
admirer of Henry Esmond that the charm
of the Potomac River was not in the
military associations so inseparably
blended with it. but in the fact that on
it's banks Esmond and the woman, who
had so patiently waited for his woong
had established themselves, linking the
noble Virginia stream with the memories
of the Stuarts and Addison, with the

A MAGAZINE THIRTY YEARS OLD.
The Christmas (December) number Of
THE DELINEATOR is also the Thir-
teenth Anniversary Number.
To do justice to this number, which for
beauty and utility touches the highest
mark it would be necessary to print the
entire list of contents 1t is sufficient
to state that in it the best modern writ
ers and artists are generally represented
The book contains over $50 pages, with "a
full page illustrations, of which 20 are in
two or more colors. The magnitude OF
this December number. for which 72S
tons of paper and six tons of ink have
been used, may be understood from the
fact that 81 presses running IA hours a
day, have been required to print it; the
binding alone of the edition of $4,000
copies representing over 100000 900 sec
tons which had to be gathered indiyid-

not as being England's gateway fortress

Easy and the discontinue of the surly

point out localities whose names, as a

Robinson Crusoe's island has been ex-
plored as thoroughly as for buried treas
ure-the seekers looking not for gold
or jewels, but to identify the spring, the
cave, or the spot on the sands where
Robinson was startled by the solitary
footprint.
So Boston has been the scene of much
that will live in American fiction; but
it may be doubted if it has yet fulfilled
all that may be required of it by the
poet and novelist For many years it
was the town not only of New England,
but of North America, leading politically
and commercially as we'll as intellect
ually, but the men who gave it world
wide fame in literature were not writing
fiction"
Miss Carruth has como to her task well
fitted. She is direct descendant of John
Alden and Priscilla Mullins and her Pill
grim blood must have enjoyed the labor
of recording her fictional rambles in ard
about Boston-the very heart of her own
country. Five years each Of life in
Washington and in New York have not
spoiled her enthusiasm. Miss Carruth
reads omnivorously and when one with
her gifts reads much, it is a short step
to an attempt at writing, Her first
book, ''Those Dale Girls" was mainly

owing to their fathers loss of fortune

In the Senate this was changed so
as to make the rate equal to the duty
imposed by such foreign country. 1t
is safe to say that not many Senator's
knew the effect of this. AS 40 per cent
is a pretty stiff tariff, they may have
thought that the amendment would impose
a lower rate. But the fact was far
otherwise.
Russia imposes a duty on imported
petroleum of one ruble per pood. Trans
lated into our weights and currency
that means sly cents on thirty-six
pounds, not quite a cent and half
pound, or say ten cents a gallon. On
the import price of Russian petroleum
this would amount to something like 200
per cent. ad valorem. the rate vary
ing according to the market price of oil
in Russia. Now it happens that, outside
of the United States, Russia is the chief
producer of crude petroleum, so that
high duty on Russian oil is equivalent
to such duty on all crude all While
apparently putting oil on the free list,
it was in fact made dutiable at an un-
commonly high rate The Standard Oil
Company evidently had a representative
in the Senate who knew what he was
about The same pretense was made
by leaving this trust product on the
free list as the case of anthracite, with
the same result Of making it dutiable.
These things do not happen by accident.
They are part of the policy of evasion,
deception and false pretense which is to
be found, upon close search, in almost
every schedule of tho existing tariff bill.
If the advocates of the present tariff are
sincere in their declarations that it is
for the general good, why do they resort
to these devices to conceal what thy are
really doing?
OF course, it will be said that we do
not import petroleum. We produce far
more than we can use and export it by
hundreds of millions of gallons. This
shows that no tariff is needed for pro-
lection. and that it will not yield rev.
enue For it could not be exported were
it not possible to sell it in competition
with foreigners, and when that is true
imports are not profitable. Thus no tax
is needed for revenue or for what is
sometimes called legitimate protection.
that is, the equalizing of cost of produc-
tion here and abroad. For what other
object, then, is this duty imposed:

Tie Standard Oil, Too.

Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal.
Whether anthracite coal is on the free
or dutiable list has been made clear to
Republicans by the recommendation of
the President that the duty on it be re-
moved That settles one point concern
ing which certain party organs tried to
keep their readers in the dark.
During the canvass the stock argument
to show that the tariff did not foster
trusts was that the products Of the Coal
Trust and of the Standard Oil Company
were on the free list. When anthracite
was excluded the spellbinders devoted
lovingly all their attention to petroleum.
But it turns out that there was a trick
in this also. When the Dingley bill was
in operation crude petroleum was put on
the free list, but with this reservation:
provided, That if there be imported
into the United States crude petroleum,
or the products oS crude petroleum. pro-
duced in any country which imposes a
duty on petroleum or its products ex-
ported from the United Staes, there shall
be levied paid and collected upon said
crude petroleum Or it's product so i'm
ported 40 per centum ad valorem."
