schooner yacht Frolic, for which reve-

the New England coast for the last
two weeks, were held last night by
United States Commissioner Cross in

that they had been in the United

in New York City and others in the

This declaration contradicted a

Twenty-four other Cinnamon were
passengers on the Frolic and are be-

Lehnemann made statements which,
if true, indicate that the smuggling of
Chinese into New England states has
been carried on for years with great
profit. He stated that an expedition
like that of the Frolic netted about
$4,000 clear of all expenses. Serious
charges also were made by Lehne-
mann in connection with the ease
with which Chinese can be landed on
the shores of New England Asked
how the smugglers were able to evade
the officials, he answered: That's
easy. Most places in New England

BRYAN SCANDALIZED
HIS NATURE REvoLTs AT HUMAN
SELFlSHNESS
lie Would Have People Stop Voting
for Protective Tariff Merely Be-
cause 1t Helps Business and
Makes Eve ybody Pros
perous and Happy.

Mr.. Bryan is scandaliZed at the
thought that men should vote to main
tain a protective tariff from mere sell
fishness, to crafty the greed of gain.
Manufacturers do it because they
prosper under protection and are
ruined by federal trade.
Wage earners do it because there
is plenty of work at high wages under
protection, while under free trade
there is little work and much lower
wages
Farmers do it because everything
they own and have to sell has a far
higher market value under protection
than under free trade
Merchants do it because they can
sell more goods and make more money
under protection than under free
trade.
Railroad and steamboat men do it
because they carry more freight and
passengers and earn higher dividends
under protection than under free trade.
Doctors, lawyers and preachers do
it because more coin comes their way
under protection than under free trade.
Now all this, says Mr.. Bryan, is rad
ically wrong 1t denotes a low moral
tone. Rightly considered it is little
better than pocket-picking or safe
blowing. People should vote for a
principle, not for personal advantage.
1t is sad world we live in, truly.
Mr. Bryan's altruistic nature and SEN
sitive soul are appalled, at the wicked
ness of it. He sees but one remedy:
Danish protection and bring in free
trade.
But, wait bit. Are we not told by
the superior thinkers that protection
is a clog? That with free trade we
should all be richer and happier?
That our country has prospered, not
because but in spite of the protective
policy? That only when we get free
trade shall we be really and truly
prosperous?
How about that, Mr. Bryan? Is there
not, then, greater peril to our i'm
mortal souls in free trade than in pro-
lection? How shall we dare to vote
for free trade if it is going to increase
our wealth?
Herein are some sore perplexities
for those who would like to be truly
good. If we fare better we shall fare
worse. Like the man hiding from the
police. if we are found we shall be
lost.
Mr.. Bryan's remedy will not work
1t does not point the way to the beati-
tudes. Quite otherwise; it threatens
to make us criminals of deeper dye.
Under all the circumstances it is
probably wiser not to be too altruistic
The safer course is to stick to protec-
tion. AS the worldly minded would
say, stand pat!

Phonetic SPELLING.

1t is held creditable to spell in the
fashion of the photographers, but it is
really discreditable, if to defy law and
order is infamy, says d. W. Howells,
in Harper's Magazine. A child is
punished if it obeys an instinct and
spells phonetically, but it ought to
be rewarded, and it's instructive or
biography reverently studied in the
hope of some hint for the ameliora-
ton OF the abuse under which we all
suffer. The actual English spelling
does not spell anything, really; it is
kind of picture writing in which GER
tain groups of letters symbolic GER
tain sounds without representing
them. This difference between our
spelling and our speech is such that
the photographer finds his burden
divided between orthography and or
thoepy, and yet doubled in the fail
ure to show how the printed word
shall be spoken. For the literary
artist, who wishes to Indicate dialect
variations, the system is worse than
useless; he must frame a convention
and trust the readers intelligence for
its acceptance before he can hope to
suggest the accents he has in mind.
Nothing worse could be said of our
spelling than that it does not spell
that is quite enough to condemn it.
If it fulfilled its Office, one might not
repine at its manifold difficulties; but
1t breaks down at the first step, and
at every step. 1t is a failure which
nothing but the immense powers of
the race which suffers it could re-
pair

Americans and Marriage.

Carolyn Rapelyea, writing on Amer
ican Complexities" in the current
number of Ainslee's, speaks especially
of the American attitude toward mar
riage. This she says is one of the
chief of our complexities. "No people
in the world" remarks the lady, "re-
gard marriage so romantically. More
over, our ideas of what are to be ex-
pected in marriage are essentially un-
like foreign ideas. Here, as much
as anything else, lies the cause of so
many international failures" Miss
Rapelyea thinks the number of di-
vorces in America does not necessar-
lily indicate that the number of I'M
fortunate marriages is greater here
than elsewhere, but only that our
ideas of what is to be endured are
different. But to understand this is
difficult, as it is also true that there
is a tendency for Americans to re-
gard the marriage ties as less per-
manently binding than do people in
Europe. They are more inclined to
break their VOWS and yet stay mar
ried; we to dissolve the marriage If
the vows are broken. We do not re-
gard the thing in the same way, and
in an international marriage such diff
ferences in point of view are exceed
ingly dangerous. Viewed superb
cially, the American character and
American social life may seem simple,
easy to comprehend, yet they abound
in contradictions, are full of complex
tiles. Much that is clearly felt and
tacitly recognized has not yet been
defined No wonder that we are a per-
petual, though fascinating, puzzle for
foreigners. We are sometimes a puz-
zle even to ourselves"

A Specific Illustration.

That the protective tariff creates
monopolies is a charge many times
repeated by the opponents of protec-
ton. That protection encourages and
builds up competition in the United
States is the claim of friends of that
policy, and proof of that claim is
given in the existence of manufactur.
ing competition in this country such
as no other nation possesses. A spe.
cific illustration of the power of pro.
lection in the way of building up com.
petition is shown in the fact that the
great United States Steel company has
been recently beaten in competition
with the Midvale company for an i'm.
portant government contract The
Midvale company is comparatively
new competitor for large contracts
To provide competition by making il
possible for all American manufac.
turers to grow and prosper, seems a
more desirable way than to weaken
home efforts by admitting foreign
competition, with all the differences
in wages and other values which the
latter involves. Practical experience
proves that the American way is the
best way.-Adrian (Mich.) Times.

Not Made in London.

A statement in the Daily Consular
and Trade Reports of August %, is
sued by the bureau of manufactures,
department of commerce and labor,
very effectually dispels the illusion
that the best dressed of Americans
have their clothes made in London
Recently "a leading West End tailor"
writing to the London Mail, asserted
that few Americans who can afford
it, and who prize style, quality and
fit, order their clothes anywhere else
but In London"
The absurdity of this pretension is
shown in the British export statistics
Out of grand total of articles of
wearing apparel valued at 1924 800
exported to all the countries of the
earth in 1905, the exports to the
United States amounted to a paltry
$275.000. OF this only $4,000 repre-
sented goods made of wool, or wool
mixed with other materials. 1t is
probable that this sum when reduced
to $4,000 would cover all the clothing
made for well-dressed Americans by
fashionable London tailors.
The fact that Americans are the
best dressed people in the world cou-
pied with the fact that probably 99.9
per cent of all the clothes worn by
American men is made by American
tailors, points unerringly to the con-
clusion that American tailors are the
best in the world. 1t is also a fact
that the ready-mada clothing of tho
United States surpasses in fit, style
and quality the made-to-order clothing
of the rest of the world

sRYAN's FREE TRADE ALLIES.
Disgruntled Trusts viii Help Him to
Break Down the Price of Labor.

AS Mr.. Bryan has not recanted in
the matter of the tariff, he is still for
free trade, and as he is the recognized
leader of his party, indeed its dictator,
the policy he favors will be carried out
to the letter should the next congress
in its lower branch be won by the
Democrats. And Mr.. Bryan is very
likely to have some allies who will be
new on that side of the fight If ex-
orbtant trust prices are to be forced
down by law, it is certain the monop-
olists will move at once to cut down
the wages of their workmen. Some
of them argue already that while the
price of gas and electricity has been
cut down in response to public de-
mands, the cost of living in the matter
of rents and as to other items has
been forced up by the general pros,
perity. Most of the monopolistic
trusts, including the beef trust and the
railroad trust, want revenge on Presi.

because of the strong reformative
legislation passed by the last congress.

Tastes In Ginars.

The public taste for cigars varies in
different localities and countries, and
in all the large factories cigars are
conditioned to suit the demands of
the country to which they are to be
sent. In Europe, more especially in
the British isles, the consumer of
cigars requires that they should be
dry, in fact, almost brittle 1t is a
common incident in that country to
see smoker take his cigar and place
1T to his ear to see if it will give
forth cracking sound, and If it
does not crackle, the cigar is con-
sldered too moist. Pipe smoking to-
baccos, however, are required very
moist In the United States the prop
er condition for cigars and pipe smok-
ing tobaccos is just the reverse, says
Science The American smoker re.
quires his cigars in such a condition
that the wrapper, binder and filler

FAILED FOR $4,000, GOO.
CebalIos G. Co., New York Bankers
and Merchants, Are Forced to
Assign.

New York.-The assignment of
J. M. Ceballos e Co., bankers
and merchants, with liabilities be-
tween S3,000,00O and $4,O0O00O was
announced Wednesday in a statement
which declared that the failure was
due to the defalcation and absconding
of Manuel Silveira, of Silveira & Co.,
Havana, agents of the New York COM
pany. Silveiras defalcation is alleg-
ed to amount to about $1,000,000. He
sailed from Havana on October 2.
ostensibly for New York City to con-
suit with the members of J. M. Cebal-
los q Co, but has not reached this
city. Counsel for the assignee said
that Silveira has left on his own
steamer for parts unknown, accom-
panied by his wife and children, and
that every effort was being made to
locate him.
The assignee Is William V. Rowe, of
the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell
of this city. Mr.. Rowe said that the
assets of the firm were of a very sub
stantial character, but from a hasty
examination it was manifest that they
would require careful outstanding. Ac-
countants are now at work on the
books of the company. 1t was stated
unofficially that there was ground to
hope that the assets would be suf-
cient to cover the losses of the firm
and that it would be enabled to re-
sumo business.
j. M. Ceballos &, Co. was established
about so years ago and has large in
terests in Cuba, chiefly in the develop
ment of railroads and sugar planta-
tionS.

Early Autumn Fruit.

Evidences of the unrest" that we
have heard so much about are not Wis
ible in Vermont and Wisconsin In
both of these states the protection
party seems to be on a perfectly level
keel. Vermont has just elected the
regular Republican candidate for gov
ernor by the customary majority
against an Independent candidate who
appealed especially to the unrestful
element. Wisconsin's Republican pri-
mary elections have resulted in the
nomination of a candidate for COVER

though the stand-pat campaign was
the right thing. Certainly it is bear

Queer Sort of Protectionism.

In an interview with the Louisville
Courier-Journal leading free trade
newspaper, ex-senator Washburn, OF
Minnesota, declares himself in favor
of immediate revision of the tariff and
"a broad and comprehensive provision
for the negotiation of treaties of reci.
procity." incidentally he remarks that
there is no need of protection either
on steel rails or wheat. As showing
how valuable this testimony should be
to the free trade party he adds:
ut may be unnecessary for me to
say that I am a lifelong Republican
and an ardent defender of the princi
pie of the protective tariff"
We should say that this statement
was, on the contrary, very necessary.
No one would suspect the gentleman
of being an ardent defender of the
principle of the protective tariff. AS a
railroad president interested in buy.
ing steel rails in the cheapest market,
and being also largely interested in
the profits of grinding free wheat from
Canada, Mr.. Washburn cannot be said
to have been passionately devoted to
protection for the last IL or Is years.
Ever since the people of Minnesota
made up their minds to dispense with
his services as United States senator
he has had his doubts about protec.
ton. He regards it as all right in
principle but all wrong in operation.
