A BIRD Much Like a Fish.

The "birds of a feather that ''fock
together" do not belong to the penguin
family, as they are entirely destitute of
feathers, having for covering kind
Of stiff down. Another penguin pecul-
iarity Is that it swims not on, but IN
der, water. never keeping more than its
head out and when fishing coming to
the surface at such brief and rare In
tervals that an ordinary observer
would almost certainly mistake it for a
fish.

Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1903-12-17

John Morley. who makes Il religion
of his Liberalism, is, of course, pious.
ly bound to hit the head of protection
rs often as he sees it. But the best
friends of free trade must admit, we
think, that the blow he struck it in his
speech at Manchester was very light
one.
He made the pitiful claim that .'un-
der this system free trade) wages have
risen Is per cent in England, while
food has fallen 30 per cent" If free
trade has not raised wages in England
moro than Is per cent i'll sixty years it
has really kept them down. The mere
advance of the years. the change from
the simplest and rudest means of in
dustry to more complicated ones, the
progress of civilization and the i'm
provement of the standard of living
must have carried wages up more than
that if there had not been blighting
influence.
Meantime how much have wages ad-
vanced in America under protection
Have they not increased 100 per cent.
900 per cent and more? In the last
tNo years they have gained twice as
much as Mr.. Morley says they have
gained during the whole period Of Brit
ISL free trade.
The Cheap food which Mr. Morley
talks about has been obtained at the
cost of the practical extinction Of Brit.
ish agriculture. 1t has been a poor
trade. New York Mail and Express.

COLONIAL TARIFFS.
Changes which Discriminate Against
Non-British Commerce..

One by one the self governing British
colonies are adopting the principle OF
preferential tariff rates within the Brit
ish empire and protection against all
the rest of the world. Canada was the
first to do this. She has been doing it
for several years and seems to be well
satisfied with the result. There is no
hint OH any hand of a desire to repeal
the preferential law and go back to the
old system The South African colo
MES, which are united in a customs
league, have also enacted such sys-
tenn, in some respects more marked
than that of Canada. The common
wealth of Australia is strongly COM
mitted to the same principle, and now
New Zealand joins the procession.
The New Zealand tariff deserves
some detailed notice. 1t puts a duty
of 90 per cent on certain goods which
have hitherto been on the free list, but
only when imported from non-British
countries When coming from within
the empire they remain free. Among
these are material for bicycles, Of which
we sent $4,000 worth in 1901; gas en-
gines, $4,000; iron rails. bars. sheets,
etc, S275O00, and a few other items,
bringing the total of our exports up to
about 100000. Then there Is sched-
ule on which the present duties are in
creased 80 per cent from non-British
countries. Our sales of the chief items
on this list were in 1901: Bicycles, S70,-
600; boots and shoes, $270,000: car
riages, $1,000; 5clocks, $4,000; pre-
served fish, S92 900; furniture, $4,000;
glass and glassware, $4,000; hardware,
$21O.OOO; nails, $4,000; paper, $500, 900,
and other items footing up total of
nearly S1,5O0,000. Our total exports to
New Zealand in that year were about
81 100000. Thus we are called upon TO
meet a tariff of 20 per cent upon 81
per cent of our exports to New Zealand
against none at all upon such goods of
our British competitors and to meet
upon 81 per cent of our exports tariff
80 per cent higher than that paid on
British goods.
Whatever, then, may be the outcome
of Mr. Chamberlain's campaign in the
United Kingdom, it seems certain that
hereafter American commerce-in COM
mOn of course, with German, French
and all other non British commerce
will have TO meet in the chief British
colonies not only British competition.
but British competition plus a consid-
cradle tariff discrimination. In the
case of Canada, as we have hitherto
pointed out, these conditions have been
successfully met. That is no doubt
largely due to the advantage of prox-
unity. But we are inclined to think
that in one way or another the United
States will show itself equal to the
emergency in all the other colonies and
will continue to increase it's trade with
them at satisfactory ratio. - New
York Tribune.

Southern Industries.

Not only does the south now take
more than half of the cotton output
used in this country, but on June 80
last there We're twenty-nine cotton
mills under construction. But the
south is making gigantic strides in
other directions as well as cotton man
ufacture. The tons of mine products
in the territory traversed by the South
ern railroad alone increased by 1,190,-
lGG, or IL per cent, last year over the
preceding year. In the same territory
during the year investments in lum-
Der and other Woodworking enter
priscs completed amounted to over So
100000 and in additions to existing
plants to about $2,5O0,000. The cap
ital invested in tanneries completed
during the year amounted to about
$G00.000 and in additions to existing
plants to about $3S0,000 Our protec-
tive tariff is accomplishing wonders
for the south and dissipating the old
free trade sentiment. Is it not about
time that this sentiment should be ex-
pressed at the polls:

ed of William j. Bryan as he was 60
ing over the gangplank to take steam
