The receipts at the postoiiice during
the past year showed most gratifying
increase, beyond that of most of the
cities of the United States; yet the

inadequate to the demands that 1t has
been found necessary to put the money

in an adjoining building which the gov
crnment has, purchased. This is :. miser-
able makeshift, and unfair both to the

II is-wrong to burden the life OF the
American workinqman2
At last 1t appears TO have been dis
covered that the American peoDle
are the most exploited of any in The
world; their manufacturers ob1ioe
them to pay double price for arfi-
cles which later are sold for one half
TO other countries; their governments
appears to give its tacif consent 70
this abnormality between the do
mestic and the export price. and now
"hen from every mouth escapes
a cry OF indignant protest and
disgust, when in every eve is seen a
look OF wonder at the gigantic. DO
"er OF the trusts, the attempt is made
to still the wave of disgust with the
absurd and idiotic excuse thai
what is sold abroad for less than half
OF the domestic price is the sur
plus OF national production for which
there is no home market.
Now have the people of the United
States-a people SO fond of giving
object lessons in comparative eco
nomics-had an illustration, a prsct-
lcal example of what has in Porto
Rlco produced such Indignation, bee
2use we have TO pay the domestic
price for American products.
What gross injustice, that we sho-
.uld be called upon to pay American
prices and yet our coffee, upon who
Sc cultivation depends the life Of
more than half of our population. rec.
ewes no protection in the mother
country.
Men in the United States are able
to find work. The enormous scale
OF manufacturing works serves 10
stimulate labor; there is something
to be had there by the victims OF the
trust ;n9gnates; but we, who have TO
pay domestic price for everything
we import, receive mo equivalent.
we have none of the protection which
IS enjoyed in the United States bv
all the national industries, is anvt-
hing given to us even the smallest
fraction, Of the benefits derived by
those who are fortunate enough 10
reap the advantages Of the protect
1OlnSt System2
For Us there is nothing. we do not
get the smallest crnmb from the nat
inal loaf.
What IS told us when we ask for
tariff that will prorect our first
industry, when we ask that0ur coffee
wealth be restored we are told: 1t
would not be right nor inst to burden
the lives of the workingmen by the
imposition Of a tax on foreign coffee.
What sarcasm!

EDITORIAL

The National Congress is at pres
ent occupied with the question Of the
tariff, and is devotiug all its attention
and study to this most important
problem.
The proceedings of this legislative
body are, in these days, of f-extreme
interest.
The United States is now begin
ming to appreciate the fact that a
protective tariff, such as the one now
IN operation is great burden and
works injury to the great BODY of
American consumers, who are obi
ged to pay domestic price much
higher than the export price for ma
tlonal products.
This discovery hasnot been compl.
imentary to the defenders of the prot
ectionist policy. The arguments ad-
vanced against this policy have, on
the contrary, been of convincing So
undness and incontestable logic.
1t IS difficult to understand the itts-
tice of its being possible to purchase
IN every country of the world articles
of American manufacture at a price
lower than in the United States.
AS An excuse for this abnormal
state of things, it has been said in
Congress that what is exported is the
surplus production, the excess. which
has no market at home and il is nee
essary to send the products els
ewhere.
This is very lame argument and
|one which convinces nobody. The
American workmen cannot see the
justice of their being compelled to
pay higher price-in order TO sat
isfy the workmen Of other nations
for articles Of native manufacture
and besides for the workmen. if is
hard for the industries, which require
Ger tain articles to finish their pro
ducts, to be compelled to paw exorb-
liant prices for what they need.
The revelation has been depres-
sing; the arraignmcnt of the protec-
Zionist idea is founded on facts
which are incontr overtiblc and the
whole system has come to be recoq-
nized by the great mass Of the peo-
pie as iniquitous.
And yet there are those who re-
peat al 'nFnifHm that the lives of the
poor people, the workingmen, must
not be burdened with duty which
would protect Portorican Coffee
Is 1t the intention of the defenders
OF the protectionist regime to have it
understood that American citizens
are inferior to those Of other natio-
nalities, as regards the consumption
ofsAmerican products7 do they wish
to defend an unjust discrimination

Packing Apples.

In pacing apples for market first
assert them, SO that they will run
uniform in size and quality. Pack
in sound, clean barrels barrels with
flat hoops preferred. Turn the up
per head and place a large sheet of
white paper next, the head, then
pack the first layer Of apples with
the stim ends upon the head. Pack
the second tier. but reverse the ap.
plies, then ill the apples without
bruising the fruit. Shake down
thoroughly, and fill so full that the
head must be passed in with a lever
or Darrell press; then fasten the
head. turn the barrel over and mark
plenty the name of the variety con-
tanned. Extra care and labor in
packing enhances the value when
selling.

kentuckieS Names.

Kentucky is known as the Corn
Cracker State from a game bird en-
joying the same name which was
formerly found ingreat abundance in
most parts of the State. 1t is
also called the Blue Grass State from
from the belt of land running
through the center. in which this
variety of grows to perfection. In
the early days of history it was
known as the Dark Bloody Ground,
being so termed by the Indians. 1t
was then a debatable land between
the Indians living north of the Ohio
and those living in the mountains of
Tennessee and Georgia, a sort of
battle ground for these tribes, which
fact gave it the name long before it
was settled by the whites.
