TERRIBLE, If TRUE.

Exorbitant protection strikes at the
rights, offends the sense of justice,
and picks the pockets of three-fourths
of the voting population of the country.
On that issue the Republicans are di-
vided; on that issue the Democrats can
be united. If the great army of plum
dered consumers can be marshalled
against the corporal's guard of produc-
ers, whose robbery of the many is per-
petrated under the forms of law, the
result will not be doubtful. Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot.
Our brilliant Norfolk contemporary
has allowed its eagerness to magnify
the Importance of the only issue which
the Democratic party can hope to use
in the, Congressional campaign to mud
die its judgment. That it has run riot
as to facts and drawn fancy sketch
intended to horrify but which is only
ludicrous is proved by the condition of
the consumers, the working classes, in
its own city and State.
The Virginian-Pilot seeks to discredit
the Republican doctrine of protection
by saying:
"Exorbitant protection strikes at the
rights, offends the sense of justice, and
picks the pockets of three-fourths of
the voting population of the country. "
A very startling proposition, but in no
wise applicable to the protective tariff
we are now living under. The Dingley
tariff is not exorbitant, for it has not
damaged the foreign trade of the
United States. Upon the contrary
both the export and import trade has
been constantly increasing. 1t does
not offend the sense of justice, but by
it's fruits it is fulfilling the promise
made in the Virginia Bill of Rights to
American freeman, namely: 'The en-
ioyment of life and liberty, with the
means of acquiring and possessing prop
erty pursuing and obtaining happiness. "
We defy our Norfolk contemporary to
point to one single class of American
citizens whose enjoyment of life and
liberty, opportunities for acquiring and
possessing property and for obtaining
happiness have been curtailed by the
Republican protective tariff. You
can't do it. But upon the contrary, it
is manifest to every one except the par
tisan free trader that there is no great
army of plundered consumers in the
United States. This army is myth,
conjured from the scintillating mind of
our contemporary in response to the
groans of a small band of disappointed
Democratic politicians and few New
England manufacturers who wish to buy
their raw materials from foreign coun-
tries and crafty their greed for larger
profits on the articles they manufacture.
For every dollar the Dingley tariff
has taken from the pockets of the vot-
ing population there have been two or
more sound American dollars left in its
stead. If that be pocket-picking, the
act will no longer be considered crime,
but will be known as a righteous deed,
true benevolence.

How to saIk the Mosquito.
(Roston Transcript. J

How to save ones self the annoyance
of the mosquito, where screens are I'M
obtainable or undesired, is problem OF
no small popular concern, especially in
a year like this, when the insect is
peculiarly rampant.
The mosquito may be kept away by
making a place unattractive to him.
But the trouble in doing this has always
come from the similarity of tastes be-
tween man and the mosquito that is,
certain preparations are troublesome to
both alike. When DR.. L. o. Howard,
chief entomologist of the Department
of Agriculture, wrote his celebrated
work on the mosquito few years ago
ne mentioned the oil of citronella for
use on a towel at the head of a bed as a
deterrent of the insect, but so many
people baked on its odor that they pre-
ferred to it the risk of an occasional in
cursion of the mosquito.
1t was not in line with present-day
science, however, to give up quest of
this kind and so DIR. Howard, who is still
pursuing the mosquito-this time under
the auspices of the Carnegie Institute,
which will bring out monograph of the
subject in the autumn-has had one of
his assistants conduct a series of tests,
where mosquitoes are plentiful, on the
Philadelphia boarding house keepers
principle, Ito find out something which
she liked and the boarders didn't and
then have plenty of it" The result is
this recipe, which any one can have put
up at drug store: One ounce of oil of
cedar, two ounces of oil of citronella
and two ounces of spirits of camphor.
A very few drops of this preparation,
it is said, will keep the pests away all
night.

which he discovered.

high jinks. Many extra fares were rung
up, all the inside furniture wrecked, and
car windows broken and the roof of the
car damaged beyond repair. Another

from similar treatment by quick action
on the part Of the motorman. The troll
