the working classes, and there Is
on satisfactory security.
Thus it is that protection helps the
financial situation, at the same time
that it defends our industries and en-
ables our great mass of citizens,
whether at work on the farm or in the
factory, to become independent and
well-to-do. 1t must ever be one of the
greatest reasons given in favor of
continuation of our protective policy
that the benefits 1t bestows are wide
spread and universal. There is not
building up in one state or one section
of the country; there is no benefit to
be bestowed upon any one branch of
industry; all share and share alike,
and each helps the other in one
great interdependent endless chain Of
communication. So it is that when
we have work for all, then the mouths
are filed and the bodies are clothed.
and the houses are built, and the luxu-
ries are consumed taxing every prod
ductive institution in the country tax
ing our transportation facilities to
their utmost, and keeping busy our
avenues of distribution and calling
into employment our great body Of
clerical laborers, all in turn, contrib
uting by their consuming power and
purchasing ability to the common
veal of all. Surely such policy, such
condition should be let alone as
long as prosperity and employment
continue to be at the highest level
ever known, not only in this, but any
other country.

munity are earning good and continual
wages. This has been the condition
now for several years under our pres
ent protective tariff, and in conse-
ouence farmers have gotten better
prices for their products, and their
lands have enhanced in value proper
tionately.
The Eastern farmer cannot, OF
course. compete with the Western ag-
riculturist in the great crops, but
when the factory hands Of the New
England and Middle States are fully
employed there is always demand
for farm produce which comes under
the head of truck farming" fully
equal to the productive ability of the
entire farming community OF these
Eastern states. In fact, the only diff
fculty which the New England farm
or has experienced during the past
two or three years has been the same
as that of the Western agriculturist-
namely, inability to get sufficient help
to enable him to produce and harvest
his products. Says the American
Agriculturist of July 20;
SLOWLY but surely the values OF
farm lands in the Eastern and New
England states are improving. The
evidences arrayed in the American
Agriculturist's special investigation
should make an impress for the better
ment of the farmers financial stand
ing. Granted that the splendid agri-
cultural lands of the West are most
attractive propositions, yet there is
no reason why the progressive farmer
of the Middle and Eastern states
should not be accorded due considera-
tion from banks and business inter
ests generally, when loans are sought
for the further improvement of the
farms. The testimony of our CORE
spondents on the higher trend of
values should inspire greater conf
dence than ever before in the merits
of Eastern farming, where we have
the best cash markets in the world at
our doors. Land in some of our East
ern and New England states is now
relatively among the best business
propositions in the country"
We fully agree with the above. that
the Eastern farmer is entitled to
every consideration at the hands Of
the banks Twenty years ago he was
lending his money TO build up the
agricultural lands Of the West. A few
years OF protection has enabled the
Western agrioulturist to either pay of
his mortgage entirely, or reduce 1t
most materially. and now the farmers
of the West have money to loan. and
their banks are bullying not only with
the necessary currency needed in the
moving crops, but to loan on good
security. to even the East II It should
be wanted. But our New England
banks, too. and those OF the Middle
States are bullying with the savings Of

1t Is some years now since the free
trader has abandoned his wailings
over the abandoned farms of New
England and elsewhere. Under the
most beneficent influences of the Ding
ley law, farm lands all over the en-
tire country have been increasing in
value, and, according to inquiries re-
Gently made by the American Agri-
culturist, the prices of farms through
out New England and the East have
advanced from Is to 20 per cent over
the values of five years ago. In al
most every state where Investigations
were made throughout New England,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Maryland, the reports show an
upward average tendency of about
20 per cent, and in single in
stances far more. In no case
were any decline in values
found, and although in a few cases
the reports showed no particular
change in value, yet In most cases
there were evidences of gain In the
price of good average farms Of g.,
10, Is and 20 per cent, and in a few
instances running considerably high
er. In Delaware the upward tendency
has almos. reached the nature Of a
boom.
1t has always been one of the princi-
pal tenets Of the protectionist that
the value Of farm lands and farm
products are enhanced according to
their proximity to a manufacturing
center. The closeness to manufac-
turing town is, of course, of no value
unless the inhabitants of that COM

The Reason for Tariff Wars.

Protection is held responsible for
tariff wars, but the action of France in
imposing discriminating duties on
American meats because the manufac-
turers of that country wish to force
upon us wares which we do not want,
shows where the responsibility lies.
Tariff wars are entirely chargeable to
the desire to push upon other people
what can not be consumed at home.
Protection only aims at self sufflcing-
ness. When that idea is strictly ad-
hered to no one has a right to take
offense. It is as illogical for nation
to find fault with another nation be-
cause it refuses to buy goods from 1t
as it would be for Kearny street shop
keeper to call people who refused to
buy from him hard names.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

OLD WHALING CAPTAIN DEAD.
After Life Filled with Adventure,
Meets End on Land.


Capt. William Henry Hall, an old
time New Bedford whaler, with an adj
venturous career, is dead. Capt
Hall was born at Oyster Bay, L. l.,
seventy-two years ago, and took to
the life of sailor when a youth.
He rose from a man before the mast
to the command of whaling vessel
putting out from New Bedford, and
his adventures in the years he fol
lowed the sea covered all quarters OF
the globe, facing death a score of
times. AS whaler he penetrated far
into the arctic regions, and as the
commander of merchant ships sailed
four times around the world He was
once cast among cannibals in the
South Pacific, but escaped death by
winning their friendship.
On one Of his trips he was ship.
wrecked and with members of his
crew was thrown upon a small desert
island For forty days they main
tanned life with birds eggs and such
sea food as they could get Finally
Capt. Hall and three of the crew
volunteered to row to New Zealand
500 miles away, in a rowboat. After
a perilous trip they reached New
Zealand and returned to the island in
a schooner for their mates.

received in 1902 from their employers
the sum of $193, ITS, which was
nearly sixteen millions more than
their tota, wages in the previous year.
The average earnings of the indiyid-
ual workers in all industries was
s459.9S, which was $10.29 more than
in the previous year. In six of the
nine leading Industries of the State
more was done, either through the
employment of more hands or through
the putting in or more time, in 1902
and in 1901.
The fertilizing manufacturing in
dustry shows the largest per cent. in
crease in the total amount of wages
paid out-S1S4. The shoe industry
is next with an increase of 2S-12 per
cent. Employees of the malt distiller-
les command the highest wages, av-
eraging 1852 a year. Workers on
models, lasts and patterns in the shoe
industry are next with average yearly
earnings of $740.42.
Such figures as these prove that
there is little justification for the cry
that has been raised frequently by
agitators, that the wage-earners were
not getting their share of the general
prosperity.-Albany Evening Journal

Summer lovemaking has been haz-

days of the season, says dispatch
from North Bergen, N. j. Frequent
" couples strolling in the moonlight
would be confronted by man, cry
ing:

Or:
"Take your arm from that girls
waist. That's disorderly conduct.
arrest you'll"
Then the man would display a badge
and prey on the young woman's fears
by describing the horrors of the sta
ton house and picturing the shame
of the publication of her name in the
newspapers. Always the fellow de-
manded money to release those whom
ne pretended to arrest, and usually
he got it.
Last night several young men band
ed together to punish the pseudo po-
liceman. John Ring, disguised in his
sisters dress, basked in the sunlight
of Peter Sheehan's smiles, while the
pair strolled along Hudson boulevard.
Suddenly in their path appeared a
man who proved to be John Carney
"Spooningl Hugging! Actually
hugging!" exclaimed Carney. Il ar
rest you'll"
"Oh, my! What will mommer sayY"
cried Ring, as shrilly as he could.
This was the signal to two husky
companions close at hand. The four
fell on Carney and thrashed him with

dress hamper his blows. Carney had

Statistics just published, which
show the great increase in wages that
has come during the year 1902 in the
state of Massachusetts, are Of general
interest because there is no reason to
regard the condition Of wage-earners
