Subscription, Payable In Advance
Protection and Prosperity.

Extracts from speech delivered by
Edward l.. Hamilton, Republican,
of Michigan, in the House of Repre-
sentatives Thursday, April IA, 1904:
The history of protection is his
tory Of prosperity. The history of
free trade or approximate free trade
is a history Of depression.
The first tariff act was reported to
the first Congress of the United States
by James Madison, construed and up
held by the trainers of the Constitu-
tion, and signed by George Washing
ington, July 4, 1889.
1t was increased by twelve separate
enactments down to the war of 1872,
when it was doubled.
From 1916 to 1924 there was depres-
sion of trade, and hard times, relieved
by the tariff of 1924, which was raised
by the tariff of 1928.
Clays compromise ten-year sliding
scale tariff of 1888 slid into the panic
OF 1887; but conditions were repaired
by the tariff of 1912.
In 1916 we had the Walker free
trade tariff, but disaster was averted
by the war with Mexico, putting large
sums In circulation, famine In Ireland
calling for large shipments, the lind
ing of gold in California, the Crimean
war, revolution in Europe, and by re-
fex action prosperity here, until at
last prosperity from accidents ceased
and we fell into the panic of 1857.
Since 1861 we have had protection,
except during the period Of panic I'M
der the Wilson-G orman law, from 1893
to 1897, when we had something else.
In the presence OF this history the
banana theory of the gentleman from
Mississippi is the most irresistible
thing in the way of logic since Thomp-
sons colt swan the river to get a
drink.
And his definition of protection as a
System of taxation whereby labor
and capital are detected from natur.
ally profitable pursuits into channels
of naturally improbable pursuits, u
stands refuted by mere recital of in.
dustrial history, whereby 1t appears
that not only have labor and capital
not been detected" from NATURALLY
profitable pursuits" but have awaited
themselves of all NATURALLY profitable
pursuits" and in addition thereto
under protection, have turned unpro'
titable pursuits into profitable pur.
suits, TO their mutual advantage and
the advantage of our whole popula
ton.
From the first tariff law down tC
now, when, with the railroads of the
United States we could put girdlC
around the globe at the equator, have
enough left TO parallel the railroads Of
Europe, and keep their tracks hot
with the tratlic of our prosperity
there has never been time wher
American capital and American labor
have been "defiected" from any pro
fitable pursuit, except when the Dem
ocratic party has been in power.
Mr.. Chamberlain, of England, has
also recently described protection. Ii

Whales have been killed whose age
was estimated at 400 years. The
method by which they determine this

Voices of Native Africans.

The timbre of the voices among CEN
trail Africans is usually good-deep
and strong in the men, very melodi-
Gus and sweet in the women. One
notable popularity about the people
is the forced key in which they al
ways carry on conversation. The or
binary quiet tones of civilized speech
are scarcely ever heard among them.
They literally shout and. such being
their habit, it is matter of indif-
ference to them whether the person
to whom they are speaking is close
by or twenty yards away. They are
most tireless chatterers. says a trav.
eler. 81 doubt whether any other peo-
pie in the world talk so much or laugh
so much. Their laughter is particu'
larry healthy, natural and unre'
strained-a most eXhilarating sound. "
