stantly avoided actual occurrences.
q Protective tariff writer's have con-
stantly and perHstenty defended the
God-gfven right OF wage earners tn en-
ployment and fair pay, while free traders
have said nothing favorable OF any meas
ure TO furnish more jobs for bread win
ners. but have opposed measures that
would give needy wage workers more
work and pay and with all the free
trade tariff advocates continually and
strenuousy contending for cheaper
things for those with money.
g. Protective tariff contributors have
contended for protective tariff because
IL would furnish more jobs of work for
the poor and needy, while free traders
have virtually acknowledged that pro-
lection does afford more employment and
have freely granted that free trade would
not furnish any additional work and

L.. Free traders have called myself and
other protective tariff writer's in this dis
cussion hard names az their chief
weapon, while protective tariff writer's
have not used one-quarter of the op-
probrious epithets against their free
trade opponents. but have been ten times
on actual results OF protective and free
trade tariffs. The matter of vitupera-
ton against opponents by free traders
and the courtesy protectionists has con-
vinced many readers that protection is
far preferable to free trade. And In con-
sideration OF this important fact / ear

Tilmanfte miscegenationist's who. TO

against their own immoral practice In
South Carolina, while We charge free trade
politicians with trying to rob and swim

An Admiral Weighs Fifty Tons.

The navy department statisticians
have decided that the presence Of an
admiral on board a battleship adds
fifty tons to that crafts weight. In
addition to the added presence Of his
gold-laced staff, the admiral must have
an extra boat for his own personal use,
two extra bathtubs-One for his own
use and one for the use of his guests
he is supposed to entertain, and a
large number of flags, books and in
struments that are inseparable from
the dignity of the commander of a
fleet. The thinkers of the department
axe now engaged upon the problem Of
reducing this weight as far as possible
by cutting such articles as can be
spared by the admiral. Up to date they
have got no further than the extra
bathtub.-New York Commensurate

Tough on the Tender.

1t was in Chicago, and he was only
q bridge tender. People passed him
without a glance. Multitudes came
and went and none gave a thought to
the gray little figure by the bridge rail.
He was there from dawn to dark, vi
gil4nt, patient, always ready.
Afar the fire engines rushed with
awesome clatter Nearer at hand a
dog fight ragged. The bridge tender
would not desert his post.
There were heavy splashes in the
murky tide below. Wild cries drifted
up from the noisy streets. Sad-eyed,
yet ever watchful, he stood by the
draw and bided his time.
And an ungrateful municipal gov
eminent paid this faithful servant but
5000 year; paid him but $1,000 for
two years for tending bridge that
wasn't opened once during all that
timel Think of that! Think Of the
monotony, the ennui the dreariness of
tending a bridge that never needed
tending!
