Protection and the Republic.

No one has fathomed the protective
tariff in an absolute sense, for it is as
profound as the republic, and the re-
public expresses the loftiest aspirations
of the human mind in the political
sphere. 1t is one of the eXhaustless
themes, and will be the study of states
men, particularly American states
men, for all time to come. 1t explains
the perpetuity and pre-eminence of re-
publican government, and is peculiarly
distinguished by the fact that it is
the only explanation. You cannot
make a republic everlasting on any
other theory except that Of the pro-
tective tariff. The United States has
shown this conclusively. 1t could not
maintain its constitutional organiza-
ton in the absence of protective syS-
TEN; but by the introduction of the
system it recovered from its disorgani-
cation and has become the most emf.
nent of the nations commercially and
politically. And on this question Of
the tariff the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are fundamentally d.
vided. The deficit isn't a factor. 1t
is a matter of whether or not the
United States shall be forever what it

Few Facts About the Flag.


The red in our flag stands for valor,
the white for purity, the blue for JUS
tice Our first Revolutionary flag gen.
orally used was called the Grand
Union flag. In this the colonists, who,
we must remember, were still English
men, kept the red ground Of the old
English flag, but striped it with white
bars, so that there should be thirteen
lists, or stripes as an emblem of the
thirteen colonies. Also, they kept the
blue field Of the English Union Jack,
but took out the crosses Of st. George
and st. Andrew, and put instead thir-
teen stars in circle This flag was
inaugurated by Washington at his
camp in Cambridge, Mass, in Janu-
airy, 1776, though it was not adopted
by Congress until the 14th of June,
1777.
Some of our flags Of about this time
show the stars arranged in the blue
in the shape Of one big star. and some
show them arranged in circle. The
permanent present fashion was adopt
ed after 1918, when Congress passed
a resolution that a new star should
be added to the blue field for every
new State admitted to the Union
Woman's Home Companion.

Protection has become an agricul-
tural program. Although we export
food products and import none worth
speaking Of, except the products Of
semi-tropical countries, yet it is among
our farmers that protection finds its
firmest supporters. Germany is going
in for higher protection than ever un-
der the leadership of the great land
lords. In France the farm is the
stronghold of protection.
The new German tariff will strike
this country a pretty hard blow, but
it Is welded by landlords, and not
manufacturers. The controversy will
be carried on primarily over food prod
ucts. Our meat, fruit and grain will
be far more heavily taxed in Germany
than those from countries with COM
mercial treaties, and in its present
mood our Senate will not enter into a
reciprocity treaty.-Newport News.

Wanted, a Little Political Sense.


The business acumen Of the Canal
Commission is a good thing in its way,
but the Sentinel is of opinion that it
would be well to mix little political
sense with the business talents now
directing the course Of that body. II
the Federal administration that col
lects as duties on imports large part
of the money it will expend in building
the canal should repudiate the policy
that provides for the collection Of
those duties it cannot expect to escape
criticism. The people of this country
have Endorsed the protective tariff pol
icy because they believe in reserving
the home market for the benefit Of the
home producer The Federal admins
tration cannot afford to repudiate that
principle and patronize foreign indus
tries and foreign workingmen because
a small saving can be made by doing
so.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

BeautifuI Gettvsbury Park.

General John z. Nicholson, chair
man Of the national Gettysburg COM
mission, returned recently to Pennsyl-
vania. "The principal Improvements
on the Gettysburg battlefield will be
completed this year." he said. after
that the government will be obliged to
appropriate money every year to keep
the park up. The general government
has spent about $4,000 on the park
since 1893. The State governments
have expended about $2,500,O0O in the
park. There are twenty-six miles of
ming through the park. They are of
Telford paving. West Confederate
avenue is a fine sight from the fact
that the position of each Confederate
army is marked by two or four guns
that stand in the positions they occu-
pied at the battle. There are ninety
six cannon in distance OF three and
half miles.
"As result of the money spent by
the State governments, the finest
world can be found there. Pennsylva-
mia has spent $4,000 for three eques-
trian statues of Generals Meade, Han
cock and Reynolds respectively. New
York erected a $4,000 equestrian
statue Of General Slocum.
"a new road called Meredith avenue
has just been completed in front of
the Mcpherson woods now called
Reynolds woods, and marking the
place where General Reynolds, the first
general officer killed at Gettysburg,
died.. The avenue is named after Gen
eral Meredith, commander Of the Iron
Brigade. 1t passes the line held by
the Iron Brigade at the battle.
1.-THE commission has tried to restore
the original forests as they stood at
the time Of the battle. Part Of the
battlefield was covered with trees and
dense underbrush For various rea-
sons the timber was removed, and cul-
tivated fields were replacing the forest
places when the commission began the
work of improving the field. About
$4,000 forest trees have been planted
in the last five years."
