Is Protection "Robbery.'

The Democratic assertion that PRO
lection is robbery; that the tariff is
a tax on the American consumer, is
best refuted by examining the effect OF
protection on the tin-plate industry.
When the Mckinley bill was passed
nine-tenths Of all the tin used in this
country was manufactured abroad To-
day the manufacture of tin is one
of the most important Of our home in
dustries, contributing millions Of dol
lars annually to our national weal..si.
But this is the least part of the story,
in SO far as the tariff is concerned
the price of tin began to 60 down in
proportion as the United States began
to produce 1t, and the American con-
'sumer has never paid under the Nc
kinley tin tariff anywhere near as
much per pound for tin plate as he
paid when tin was on the free list. q
With both Republican factions guar
anteeing the electoral vote in HNiscon-
sin to Roosevelt, another igidescent
rainbow dream of the Democracy
goes glimmering into the realms of
perpetual night.
Under the Wilson low tariff exports
increased S94,o00,0 600: in three Years
under the Dingley tariff they in
creased $l55. .0D0. 900.

Mr.. Ransom leaned comfortably back
in his chair and rocked with a loud
creak, while the agent searched the
pages of "Vol. One" with an anxious
face.

EAT MELLOW APPLES.
The Best of All Fruit to He Taken
Before Meals and May Be Sub
stitutci for Breakfast.

The more mellow apples one eats
the better, provided they be taken at
meal times, says the Independent. 1t
is best of all to eat fruit before meals,
and freely as you like. This will pre-
yent loading the system with a heavy
weight of less digestible foods. Sen
ator Vest says that if a man wishes to
live long and be able to keep up his
work he must "a not less than one
apple with every noon lunch; we are
not sure but he said half a dozen.
The ~no-breakfast fad tells us that
we must not only 60 without the morn
ing meal, but that we must live much
more largely upon fruit. Some of its
disciples insist that the apple may be
taken in the place of the ordinary
breakfast. John Wesley nee referred
to apple dumplings as an illustration
of the alarming advance of luxuries
in England. Charles Lamb quotes a
friend who says that "a man cannot
have a pure mind who refuses apple
dumplings," and DIR. Johnson speaks
of a clergyman of his acquaintance
WIN IOuSHl ulo IdiillJ up llHlOSL dl
together on this Anglo-Saxon combin-
alton. We have. recollections of
dumplings, which might have been the
origin of Calvanism. 1t must be borne
in mind that the ideal apple is one
that is fit to be eaten raw; yet the
glorious old Spitzenburg is only fit
for the cook-in whose hands it be-
comes the very perfection of pie ap-
Piles. The nineteenth century went
out with a marvellous evolution of new
sorts of fruits Of ALI kinds; but there
was nothing in the list to exceed the
delicious juices of the Northern Spy,
the Macintosh Red, the Shannon or
the Stuart's Golden. There is nothing
in the world to exceed the beauty of
the apple blossom; while the air is
laden with an exquisite perfume that
has charmed a hundred generations
has added to the poesy, the love and
the comfort OF Greek, or Roman and of
Briton. But if there be anything more
beautiful than the apple in blossom it
is the same tree loaded down with
crimson and golden fruit. Then it is
that the apple touches human nature
and wakens in the housekeeper the
highest conceptions Of the science and
the fine art OF dietetics.
