Given Medal of Honor.

A medal of honor was presented to
Col Johnson L. De Peyster of Tivoi,
n. Y, Thursday in recognition of the
fact that he raised the first American
flag over the capitol in Richmond on
the night of April 8, 1865, when the
union troops entered the city. Col.
De Peyster's friends have several
times endeavOred to get the war de-
partment to recognize his achieve
ment, but without success, on the
ground that it is only for bravery in
action that medals of honor are
awarded. To supply the omission the
colonel's friends made up purse and
had the medal made which was pre-
scented to him.

of foreign countries have enormously
increased, having now reached upward
of one billion dollars annually. We are,
as matter of fact, considering our
ability to produce at home most of
the things that we require, the most
liberal purchasing nation on earth
The fact that our purchases from
are less than our sales % foreign
countries is due wholly to the opera
ton of the protective tariff. 1t ena-
bles us to take our pay in money or its
equivalent-such as the cancellation
of foreign debts, the liquidation of two
hundred millions annually paid to for
eign owners of ships, the seventY-nve
millions annually expended in foreign
countries by American tourists-in-
stead of receiving our pay in foreign
made merchandise, we get our pay vir-
tually in cash. Our apparent trade
balances for the last six years have
averaged from four hundred and fifty
millions to six hundred millions a
year In those six years we have paid
enormous sums in liquidation of debts
owed to foreigners, in repurchase of
American securities owned abroad,
and. at the same time these trade bal
ances have enabled US to take care of
Inc tWO huuuISQ IullllOuS yearly Oh
freight charges and the seventy-f1ve
millions yearly of money spent by our
tourists abroad. All this time we have
kept our own labor employed and
have increased in wealth at a rate
hitherto unknown in the history of
nations.
We maintain the protective tariff
because of it's known fruits We re-
ject the free trade policy because of
its known disasters and horrors. We
have condition of absolute free-trade
between forty-five states and terrific
ries, the largest free-trade nation in
any part of the world, but to the out
side world, we say, I'VE are sufficient
unto ourselves so far as our mechani-
cal ingenuity, our enterprise, our in
ventiveness and our skill, enable us
to supply our own wants. We propose
that this republic shall do it's own
work That is protection. The
wisest and best brains in the country
have accepted this policy as final and
permanent in its relation to the pros
perity of the country. If we can main
tain protection and prosperity at
home, while at the same time selling
to the outside world all surplus of
production. so much the better for us.

Your question, why do we need
protection for our industries when
our commodities are exported to near
ly all parts of the globe?" will not APP
pear, upon examination, so far be
yond reason" as you seem to think.
First of all. out of our total annual
production of fifteen billions in manu-
featured products, only 8 per cent, or
four hundred and fifty millions, are ex-
ported to foreign countries. The re-
naming 81 per cent is consumed by
our own people The need and the
function of protective tariff is to in
sure to our manufacturers this mar
ket which consumes 81 per cent of
their output. Protection says to these
manufacturers: This market, this OPP
portunity is yours. Make the most of
it," How do they make the most of
it? Under the guarantee of settled
and stable conditions which insure to
them a market for their output these
manufacturers have SO expanded, so

said, ION a lady in Denver, and in the
parlor with us were the two sons of
the house, Willie and George, aged,
respectively, 8 and 5 years. Willie
was very quiet and good, but George
behaved awfully. He broke an orna-
ment; he fretted and cried; he kicked
his mother; he cut his finger with the
fruit knife. Finally my hostess said
to him: George, why can't you behave
yourself? Just look at your brother
Willie. See what a perfect little gen.
tleman he is His good conduct ought
to make you ashamed He-a perfect
gentleman; you-a little beast The
good Willie, sitting upright in his
chair, smiled acquiescence to all this
praise. George is making a damn
fool of himself, isn't hep he remarked
complacently.-P Record.
