1t is not so many years ago but
what the most of us can remember
when we were expected to regard
imported things as superior. But that
day has gone. Now American things
have the call everywhere Curiosity
once led me TO take notice of Ameri.
can made things in Europe and Asia.
/ saw American airbrakes on cars in
Persia, bought American rubber over.
shoes in Southern Russia, burned
American-made candles in Armenia,
chatted with Greek drummer who
was selling American harvesters in
Bulgaria, where he said they over.
Swallowed everything; ate American
-four in Austria, used American type
writer's in London, and everywhere
found the American flooding the
markets. not with cheap manufac.
lures, but with superior ones.
The Southern invasion of China
has made enormous advances in the
last year, and 1t is only beginning.
China alone has population greater
than that of the United States and
Europe combined. The open door to
China means possibility for the
cotton factory of the South beyond
the power of man to estimate. The
raiment Of the Chinese people must
always be cheap one, which means
that cotton will be the most availa.
BILE material. The chief question will
be the power of the Chinese to pay.
1t will be many a year before that
limit has any effect on the production
of cotton goods. Once the American
gets footing in China, trade will ex-
pand as fast as the American facto-
ries can keep up with It.
The export of manufactures, and
the development of factory in the
South are doing more to make the
Union homogeneous than anything
that has ever happened. The inter-
ests of north and south are becom-
ing identical.

The Maximum and Minimum Dodge
1t is not in period of general pros
perity that people set about works
OF reform. There was deal OF hu.
man nature in the declaration of that
Arkansas gentleman that when the
weather was fine his cabin did not
need roof.
That is what the Republican party
is going to remark when Congress
meets-that In times of prosperity the
tariff needs no revision. The crops
are fine. Kansas alone raises 10000.
900 bushels OF wheat this year. The
corn crop promises an immense yield,
and that means fat cattle, fat hogs,
fat live stock of all sorts. These
mean freights for railroads and work
for many tens of thousands.
With the farmer prosperous and
labor employed the stand.patters will
be monstrously independent when the
tariff is mentioned in the Fifty.ninth
Congress.
Reciprocity is dead-everywher ex.
cept in Massachusetts and Chicago;
but there will be some remarkable
speeches made on the new dodge
the maximum and the minimum.
The enormous crops of this year,
says the Washington Post, will post.
pone tariff revision for at least two
years, and for the past thirty years
the G. o. P. has assumed all credit
for good crops and laid all the bad
crops on the Democrats.
The Fifty-ninth Congress has no
more intention of tinkering with the
tariff than 1t has Of re-establishing 16

KILLED BY FALL
FROM A BALLOON.
Man Who, UNLIMITED, Had Seized
Trapeze of the Parachute
Drops 1900 Feet.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 30.-The de-
termination of John Williams, thirty.
eight years old, to make a balloon
ascension at Redhouse Park, near
Cahokia, ILL.,, cost him his life. He
lost his hold on the trapeze of the bal
looms parachute and dropped twelve
hundred feet to his death. A large
crowd saw the tragedy.
The aeronaut who had charge OF the
balloon did not know that Williams
had determined to make the ascen-
sion. AS the huge bag was inflated
with hot air Williams stood close to
the aeronaut, apparently absorbed in
watching. the preparations for the
fight. When the preparations wer4
completed the aeeronaut fastened
himself with rope to the trapeze
hanging from the parachute and gave
the word to let go the balloon. Just
as he swung into the air Williams
darted forward, shouted Good by"
and caught hold of the parachute
with both hands.
AS the balloon rose Williams chung
there, suspended from the narrow
bar. the aeronaut sitting above his
head on the trapeze. The latter tried
Intellectually to draw Williams up be.
side him and nearly lost his balance
in the effort.
The aeronaut cut the parachute
from the balloon upon falling to get
Williams on the trapeze. AS soon as
the parachute began to descend
Williams strength was exhausted
and he was unable to continue his
hold.
1t was at first thought that vii.
liams' act was due to a suicidal de.
sire, but this theory has not been
borne out.
The coroner's verdict was that the
death was due to accident.
Emil Lankhammer. of this city, who
saw the tragedy, said: Williams did
not appear to be sober. saw him
Watching the preparations, and hear |
him remark several times: I'll either
go up in that balloon or the balloon
won't go up Just as the aeronaut
gave the order TO cut the balloon
hose and it started up Williams ran
and caught the trapeze bar.
Get off, the aeronaut shouted
two or three times.

tie aeronaut tried to,loosen his hold

they would dismiss him and be much
offended at his proposing 70 be a man
as well as a clergyman.
Still, there are cIergymen who are
SO situated as to be able TO make the
experiment. 1t would be worth while
to try it. II the Christians of Amer
lea could be persuaded to vote God
and clean ticket, 1t would bring
about a moral revolution that would
be intellectually benefcient. 1t would
save the country-a country whose
Christians have betrayed it and are
