NulIihcat

ITO urge reciprocity is to confess
that forbidding tariff is not good for
nations, as compared with lesser
restriction; that the tariff which ex
cludes is not good in comparison with
the tariff which admits. Reciprocity
acknowledges the disadvantages and
injuries resulting from absolute pro
lection or exclusion. 1t is a qualifica
ton st Louis Republic.
No fault can be found with this def
milton by a free trade newspaper. II
is obviously and unquestionably true
that to enter upon the system of reel
procity in competing products is to de
clare that protection is wrong. Pro
lection contemplates the exclusion OF
competitive products. In contemplates
that the Republic shall do its own
work. Reciprocity in competitive
products contemplates that an in
creased and constantly increasing
share of the Republics work shall be
done by foreigners. The two policies
cannot go hand in hand They com
pletely nulIify each other.

ity, providing that we do not further
reduce our duties. Moreover there is
no reason why we should not enjoy
still increased prosperity If we should
increase the duties upon commodi-
ties, which would insure a home pro-
duction instead of importations on
commodities amounting to nearly half
a billion dollars annually.
Much as we need greater protec-
ton to certain industries, it is perhaps
better on the whole that we do not
change the tariff in any respect for
some time to come. Let it remain as
it is, the great saving factor, as it
has been the causative factor of our
prosperity, which need not cease SO
long as we are wise enough to let well
enough alone.

Paraguay Is About to Engage in tie
Culture on a Large Scale.
The recent advance in the price OF
cotton in this country and in England
has stimulated the culture of the plant
in other countries. The possibility
that the cotton manufacturers of the
world are facing the prospect of a
dearth of raw material seems to have
excited the people of Paraguay. Cot
ton grows wild in that country, and
the cultivated product, though differ
ent from ours, has a long and fine sta
pie.
AS in Peru, the plant is small tree
rather than a little bush, and it lives
and produces for several years. Euro
pean manufacturers have reported
good results from it's use. The Para
guayans, however, have never given
much attention to its cultivation
The newspapers of Asuncion have
suddenly awakened to the opportuni-
ties presented, and have risen to the
occasion. They are offering many sug-
gestions to the government and assert
that cotton will yet place Paraguay on
the high road to prosperity.
They ask the government to employ
the services of men of science, like
DR.. Bertoni, to prepare pamphlets for
distribution in the cotton trade OF
Great Britain, France and Germany,
descriptive of the nature and qualities
of Paraguayan cotton and the facili.
ties for producing large supplies of it.
They ask that DIR. Bertoni, Mr.. Artists
and other experts be engaged to make
a survey of the lands adapted to cot
ton cultivation in the republic; also
that the government print and diStrib

Are Kind to Their Horses.

Evidently there is one place where
there is little need of a society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
and that is Jersey. The farmers there
are so careful of their horses that
they do not work them more than is
absolutely necessary, and frequently
do work which is done elsewhere by
horses.
If a farmer has to pillow a heavy
piece of ground he is obliged to use
his team, but if the ground which is
to be broken up is light it is very
probable that he will take the place
OF a horse.
At first glance labor of this kind
may seem very irksome, but it really
is not, for the farms in Jersey are
small and it does not take long to
cultivate the ground. StiH, in other
places where the farms are equally
small, no one thinks of sparing the
horses. and there is little doubt that
up-to-date agriculturists consider the
Jersey farmers far behind the times
because in the kindness of their
hearts they are as 1enient to their
horses as possible.

THE SAVING FACTOR
CHIEF CAUSE OF CONTINUED
BUSINESS PROSPERITY.
Value of Protective Tariff More Thor
oughIy Tried and More Completely
Demonstrated Than at Any Period
in Our History.

1t was the Springfield Republican
which said nearly six months ago that
the tariff is now on trial as the
great causative and saving factor in
the business prosperity" The Repub-
hcan was right. How well and sue
cessfully has the wisdom of Nelson
Dingley and his associates been vindi-
Gated That our present tariff was
the great causative factor of our pres
ent prosperity few even among free
traders will question. The fact was
proved and settled long ago. That
it is the great saving factor of our
prosperity has also been proved and
settled.
Fear of any financial or commercial
panic is now past, although we have
experienced causes enough to provoke
dozen crises had it not been for the
great saving factor of our protective
tariff The trial has been prolonged
and thorough The pessimistic free
trade press has made the most of
every fall in the prices of our securi-
ties, every petty failure, every shut
down of a factory or industry, even
though caused by a strike. Most
alarming statements have been made
some containing but a small portion
of the truth, and yet the people have
refused to be frightened, the CONNER
cial world has not abated it's conf
dence in the situation, and prosperity
has lost none of it's hold, simply and
solely because we are living under al
protective tariff that was not only the
causative factor of our prosperity, but
is also the saving factor of that pros
perity.
There has been no similar period
n the existence of the nation when
we have been sorely tried, CONNER
cially and financially, as during the
past six months, and yet so far as
the tariff has any influence upon the
situation not single man has been

thrown out of work and not a single
wage has been reduced. The strikes,
particularly in the building industries
OF the country, have resulted in the
idleneSs of more than a hundred thou
sand men for a greater or less portion
of time during the past few months.
The exo-bitant high price of raw cot
ton has made it's use almost prohibit
tive, and it has been necessary recent
ly to meet this enhanced price of
raw material by a slight reduction
in the wages of operatives. The fall
ing off in building and constructive
enterprises has reduced to some ex-
tent the demand upon our iron and
steel industries, and yet the business
being done is very satisfactory. The
railroads of the country have been
for months, and are still, unable to
handle all the business offered them,
and the gross and net earnings of
nearly every road in the country is
still around high water mark regard
less of the fact that the quotations
of the stock of those roads have
fallen in some cases from 20 to so
per cent.
1t may be that the holiday business
will not be the greatest we have
known, and may fall of a trifie from
that of last year and the year or two
preceding. 1t will, however, be ire
mendous in volume, and will show
that the income earners of the coun-
try have still large surplus to spend
in harmony with the sentiment of the
season. The outlook for another year
is bright indeed With the promise
that no further change shall be made
in our tariff law beyond the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, we are sure of a
huge volume of employment and q
maintenance of the high wages now
enjoyed by ALL Never in our history
was tariff law so thoroughly tried
and so thoroughly indicated as has
been the law under which we are now
living There is no reason why, for a
decade or even for a generation to
come, in spite of all precedents, we
should not continue to enjoy prosper
