PROTECTION MAKES GOOD.
Facts Which Prove That the Reoub-
lican Tariff Has Helped the
Wooden Trade.

1t was hardly to be supposed that the
Boston Herald would accept everything
that William Whitman stated in his re
cent speech regarding the condition of
the wooden industry and of the benefits
Of che protective tariff to the industry
and to the people all the facts were re-
pugnant to the Herald and to those who
advocate the extreme measure of free
trade. The Herald, says the Textile
Manufactures Journal, could not allow
the occasion to go by without editorial
comment, and its comments are just as
faa from facts as usual. There is only
onA phase of its criticism that is of spe-
cial interest to us, that having relation
to the acual consumption of wool fabrics.
Satisfies are of little value as a guide to
us in determining fair estimate of
this phase of the situation for observa-
ton and common intelligence are better
and more accurate guides. Customs
change, methods of living change, and
with these changes come changes in the
use and consumption of wooden goods.
The decline, if it may be so called, in the
consumption of woolen goods, such as
blankets and goods of similar character,
cannot in any way be attributable to in
creased prices, to any diminution of
wealth on the part of the masses for
prices on blankets are not as high to-day
as they were 20 years ago; in point of
fact, woolen goods, mems wear and dress
goods may he purchased to-day at less
price than 20 or 80 years ago. This, too,
despite the fact that wool is high in
price, and despite the fact, too, that
protective tariff is in existence. The con-
struction of our houses does not make
necessary as large a consumption of
blankets as of old. Our ideas of wear
ing apparel are so changed that it is un-
necessary for US to be clothed in the
same E32n2e" aa e Old, Cur under gar.
ments requiring less wool. So one arti-
Gle after another might be enumerated
illustrating the point in mind.
The Herald is blind when it talks
tariff, for it sees nothing good in a pro-
tective tariff, even though an analysis
of the condition of the country would
disclose a condition far in advance in a
material way over that of other years.
And we have only to bark back a few
years ago when the Wilson law was in
force. Oh, the horrors of those days!
1t is true goods were selling then at low
values. but what kind of goods were
they? Goods made out of punk, made
out of everything except wool. The
country may thank itself that it is liv-
ing to-day under a different regime.
The Herald does itself and its readers
an injustice when it talks of a protective
tariff inducing reduced consumption of
wool goods.

PHILIPPINES IN TRUST.
The Islands Will Be Held Indef-
initely, Declares Secre-
tary Taft.

Secretary Taft is one of the ablest
men in President RoosevelUs cabinet
and one proof of his ability is that he
is not a Bourbon, but learns something
from time to time and exhibits prog
ress. Certainly he has received new
light during the last six months in the
Philippines, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle.
There was a time when he thought
our hold on the archipelago was fail
ing. He described the existing govern
ment as government by Americans
aided by Filipinos and the prospective
government by Filipinos aided by
Americans.
The secretary'S new view of the sub
ject is contained in letter which he
wrote recently to John n. Blair, of
New York, who had informed him that
capital was shy of the Philippines be-
cause it was supposed the government
intended ultimately to abandon them.
In reply to this letter Secretary Taft
assured Mr.. Blair that the policy of
the government was the indefinite re-
tention of the Philippine islands" and
that it would be a violation of trust
for the United States to abandon the
islands," at least for generations to
come.
That sounds much better than the
talk in which Mr.. Taft formerly in
dulged, but it would have sounded still
better for the secretary to say that the
United States intended to retain the
islands as long as water ran and grass
grew for that is the naked truth. No
nation ever surrenders territory, unless
it is on its last legs and is compelled
to do so.

WILL ACCEPT THE 100000 |
Commissioners for Foreign Missions
Intend to Use Cash Given by
MIR. Rockefeller.

Boston, March 30.-The American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions announced yesterday that it's
prudential committee had accepted a
report of the sub committee, recon.
mending the acceptance of the gift of
100000 by John ID. Rockefeller, but
that final action on the matter had
been postponed for two weeks.
The committee in public state
ment says Your committee sees no
reason why we should have departed
from the custom of the board and
made our committee practically a
tribunal to decide whether gifts are to
be received.
at seems to us that it would have
been an usurpation if we had tried to
stop the money of any man who wish
ed to give it for missionary work. The
reason assigned for rejecting the re
cent gift is that gifts constitute a re-
lation OF honor between the recipient
and the donor. This gift was made
without conditions. This means that
it involves the American board in no
obligation to the donor. The church
must make such an assumption about
all its gifts or receive none at all"

Extremely Superstitious.

The "13" superstition was carried to
an unusual length by the members of
the Brooklyn Sangerbund Womens
chorus, who celebrated the fourteenth
anniversary of the society the other even
ing. The society was organized in 1892,
and some curiosity was aroused as to
why the fourteenth instead of the thir-
teenth anniversary was celebrated. 1t
was learned that on account of the num-
Der 13 being considered by the girl
singers an unlucky one it was thought
best to have the event called the -four
teenth' and avoid any risk that some
thing unexpected might happen, the
more because a feature of the concert
was the operetta Die Maus" C"The
Mouse'D, that little animal as is well
known, already having caused many
troubles for the women.
