OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
It Expands Under Republican and Col
lapses Under Democratic Policies.

It Expands Under Republican and Col
lapses Under Democratic Policies.
One of the great arguments of the
free traders has been that with free
trade we would have access to the mar
kets of the world" Well. the only time
the free traders have had control of
the government in recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration.
They did not put actual free trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to it to put most of the factories of
this country ont OF operation. We did
not get the markets of the world. They
may have been open to us, but our man
ufacturers were going out of business so
fast, under the ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets of the
world. Their own home market, the best
one to them. was invaded by chenp for
eign goods, however.
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people of this country.
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets of the world
is to protect our own market against
invasion. build up our industries, and
then branch out for foreign trade.
We have not had anything like free
trade within those ten years, and yet we
are selling millions of dollars worth of
goods every year in the markets Of the
world"
In Congress, last winter, Congressman
Hill, of Connecticut. told of recent
visit he had made abroad. He said:
II stood on the deck of a Japanese liner
In the harbor OF Nladivostok, Russian
Siberia. In the hold of that ship was
over 700 tons of American agricultural
Implements that had come across the
Pacific ocean from America for the use
of the peasants of Siberia. and shipped
there under the Dingley tariff bill. That
night at the hotel I met the represent
ntive of locomotive works In Phila-
delphia who told me he had just put in
$50 locomotives, for use in the Siberian
railway, shipped there under the Ding
/ ley tariff law.
Next day I rode 500 miles up the
banks of the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under the
Dingley tariff law. Then I got aboard
a steamer to go up the Amur 1,5OO miles.
IL was American built. towed two steel
barges made in Pittsburg. shipped there
under the Dingley tariff law.
'In the village of Gorbitza, Siberia,
ten thousand miles from here, the viii
lage consisting or a dozen log houses,
in little store not over 8 by 10, we
bought n package of candy. wrapped in
paper on which was printed the picture
pf William Mckinley, to popuarize that
randy among the peasants of Siberia.
nll shipped under the Dingley tariff
law"
That looks as IL we had a slice of
the markets OF the world. but we never
rot anywhere near them under Demo
tratic tariff ideas.

Simple and sufficIert Answer.

Capt. Andrew Rowan, Of Atchison,
Kan, made quite a reputation while
serving in the Philippines, chiefly from
the commonsense and informal way in
which he performed whatever duty
came to hand. He was stationed at .
post in one of the remote provinces Of
the islands. A backyard season had
been disastrous to crops and the prices
OF provender had gone skyward as .
result. About this time several wealthy
Chinese merchants had been arrested
for smuggling. Rowan put the Mon
gols at work cutting grass. This
brought forth a protest that finally
found its way to the chief authorities
at Manila. In due course Of time tho
following telegram reached Rowan:
why are you compelling wealthy Chi
nese merchants to cut grass?" Be
cause grass is high" was Rowan's la
comic response.-Chicago Chronicle.

WHERE TREES GROW FAST.
California Tree Springs UP Twenty
Feet in Eighteen Months.

A tree which grew nearly twenty
feet In year and half has Just gono
from the experimental station in San
ia Monica canon to the worlds fair
to show what California can do when
in hurry for place in the shade.
1t holds the champion long-distance
free sprinting record of the United
States.
1t is variety of eucalyptus. A
small grove of these trees was plante0
on a shaggy cliff back Of the expert
mental station, where 1t seemed AZ
though no tree could grow at all. But
the rate at which they have shot up
under skillful attention almost stag
gers belief.
When this particular tree was about
year and a half old it measured four
inches in diameter. They had to pull
it up for fear 1t would break the Santa
Monica speed ordinance.
In order to get 1t safely back to the
fair the whole tree was carefully
packed In mosses and soaked cloths.
After its ragtime career under Alb
bot Kinney and others the experimen-
tai station is now n successful bloom
ing garden.
One of the interesting features OF
the work is importing trees from for
eisn countries and trying them in Cal
ifornia soil and climatic conditions

This story has several morals. AL.
so 1t has three heroes. heroine, an
eccentric philanthropist and score

concerned. to be mentioned by name.
The heroes are Mr.. Swallow. Mr..
Spilkington and Mr.. Spiker; the hero
inc is, or was. Miss Honeygarde; the
eccentric philanthropist is Mr.. Wilson.
So much for the Introduction; now for
the story:
Swallow. Spillington and Spiker
work for Mr.. Wilson. On the 4th day
Of January last the three young men
held an important interview with their
employer.
what do you want?" said Wilson
to Swallow.
"a raise" said Swallow.
And you?" to Spilkington.
"A raise"
And you?" to Spiker.
"a raise"
Cant have It," said Wilson. You

"Too much" said Wilson. STILL l

hope. l will increase your salary on

Married." they said. This is very
sudden. We must have time to think"
They retired into an adjoining room
and thought. After due deliberation
they reported their decision.
"Str," said they. I'VE refuse to ac-
cept prosperity on such onerous
terms. twenty-five dollars a week.
according to our calculation, will go
further for one than $50 for two. We
prefer positive to potential evils. We
will not get married."
Then Swallow. Spilkington and
Spiker went back to their desks and
continued to work for $25 week. al
ways bearing in mind the opportunity
for advancement should they care to
purchase promotion at such cost.
Swallow, Spilkington and Spiker
are good friends. Usually they lunch
together. Last Monday that amicable
arrangement would have been salts
factory to Swallow and Spilkington,
but when they got ready to leave the
office and looked around for Spiker
they found that he had already gone.
They saw him at the restaurant but
they did not join him. Spiker was not
alone. Miss Honeygarde sat opposite.
Miss Honeygarde beamed upon Spiker
and Spiker beamed upon her. They
were happy. Swallow and Spilking-
ton were not happy; they were en-
vious.
"Ungrateful dog" said Swallow. so
that's why he left us? He has treat
ed us most shabby. But we'll get
even. Well have revenge"
He called the waitress.
Della" he said, do you see our
friend over there? Well. he has de-
serted us. He's married"
Married." cried Della. "Sure?"
Sure" said Swallow. Married
last night. My friend and I were at
the wedding. Weren't we, Dick?"
"Uh-huh," said Spilkington.

Also, they looked very silly; neverthe-
less. they talked earnestly. Swallow
and Spilkington tried to make out
what they said. but they could hear
nothinS However. they found out all
about that the next day. Early Tues
day Spiker engaged Mr.. Wilson In an
animated conversation.
Sir" said he. Il want my $50 a
week"
Married." asked Wilson.
Yes, SIR
"When?"
Yesterday"
Good" said Wilson, II am glad.

The New skeleton Collars.

The girl who has had trouble with
the ruching and ribbon combination
should try one of the new skeleton
collars. The ruching is basted on the
collar, which Is pinned around the
neck, and then the ribbon is tied
around 1t. Thus the weight of the
ruching does not bear down the rib
bon, and the neck has more trim
and tailored look.
