AN ARGUMENT FOR PROTECTION.

of a copy of the Calais (Maine) Time
containing a pretentious leading
article on the subject Of tariff
revision. The most significant
paragraph is as follows:
TRY it on the pending election,
DO bhe farmers Of Aroostook and
other parts Of Maine want the duty
on potatoes taken off. Does the
potato king Of Dennysville want
free potatoes. Do the lumbeTmen Of
Maine want Canadian lumber let in
free. Do the quarrymen Of Maine
want Canadian or Scotch granite,
dressed, admitted duty free. Do the
fishermen OF Maine want cured fish
admitted free. Do the sardine
packers Of this district and Of Maine
want the packed fish freed from duty.
Do the farmers want the duty en-
butter and milk, on lambs and poultry
taken of. Do the cotton mills of
Maine want the product Of foreign
mills to come in without tariff.
Would the shoe manufacturers like
shoes to be admitted free9 Would
the owners Of vessels like the
carrying trade" thrown open to all
vessels CT all nations? Would Red
Beach and like mills in the country
like ground and calcined plaster let
in iree?"
How does such an argument differ
from The teii0wi1g. DDoeS RRuckeieiier
want to give up his natural monopoly?
Does Aggie Myers want to be hanged?
Do the railroads want any supervision
Of interstate commerce? do the
Chinese want to be excluded from
America? Does Reed Smoot want to
be expelled from the senate? Do the
St. Louis bcodlers like to live in the
Missouri penitentiary? Does anybody
with a graft want to give it up?
If the Times man will vary his
questions a little bit he will get
different answers. Suppose he
changes them to read thus: Do the
farmers OF Aroostook want free
Canadian lumber? Do the Maine
lumbermen want free Canadian
potatoes? Do the builders Of Name
want free granite? Do the quarry
men Of Maine want free dried fish
etc. etc.
There are other questions far more
pertinent: II the tariff does not
protect all men equally or proper
tionately, is it right? And If the
tariff does protect all men equally or
proportionately, what good does it do
anybody? If 1t were possible to
devise a tariff law which would
protect all equally or proportionately,
what other effect could it have than
that Of limiting production to the
demands OF domestic consumption?
Is 1t possible to devise a tariff law
which would equally protect steel or
glass manufacturers, who can and do
form trusts, and farmers, who do not
and cannot form trusts

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF RAIL.
ROADS,


Mr.. Bryan takes no alarm at the
creams which the daily press Of the
country has emitted over bis remarks,
uttered In a spirit Of prophecy, that
this country will yet come to govern
ment ownership Of railroads. The
public press has been in the habit of
screaming at anything Mr.. Bryan
says; and since he knows and
since everybody knows that he
acknowledged that this was not a
party principal and not to be
attempted in the zeal future, Mr.
Bryan doubtless feels that so long as
the screaming seems to help the
public press and not to hurt him, the
press ought to be INDUCED in its
propensity.
A very respectable minority Of the
people Of oil parties lg this country
believes that government ownership
Of railroads is the only solution Of the
increasing troubles which the people
are having with these public carriers,
They believe that the only way to
keep the railroads out Of politics is to
take over the railroads. They
believe, before final trial has been
made, that the effort Of government
to control the railroads is going to
result In the railroads controlling
government. They believe that the
thoroughfares Of commerce, like the
routes Of neighborhood travel, should
be taken out Of the hands Of private
individuals and operated as a function
Of government, They argue that the
Sayernment is under as much
obligation to transport our wheat and
our coal as IL is to transport our
letters and our newspapers,
The opposition to government
ownership is usually based upon three
principal objections; That 1t would
give a party in power 30 much
patronage as to make it impossible OF
dlslodgment; that the building and
operations of railroads would be far
more expensive TO the government
than to individuals; and that public
ownership is only feasible in a fully
settled and developed state.
or these objections the last is BY
far the weightiest. The RAPID
development o. this country has beer
due in large easur to the rivalry o
cities and communities, which havl
pushed out railroads into unsettled
districts for the purpose Of building
them up and a~nnexing them as trad
territory. The people have prohtet
by the rivalry and prodiGality o
ambitious communities. We have
more railroads (and poorer ones) II
this country than in Europe because
Of private ownership. The time fol

1t would seem reasonable that
the Kansas City Star after chucki.ng,

rendering itself ridiculous over the
failure Of Senator Stone to attend the

have the decency to be embarrassed
over the announcement Of his private

The Home.

Married people would be happier, says
the Boston Gazette:
If home trials were never told to the
neighbors.
If they kissed and made up after every
quarrel.
II household expenses were proportion
to receipts.
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship days,
If each would try and be support and
comfort to the other.
If each remembered the other was
human being, not an angel.
If women were as kind to their husbands
as they were to their lovers.
If fuel and provisions were laid in dur
ing the high tide of summer work.
If both parties remembered that they
married for worse as well as better.
If men were as thoughtful for their
wives as they were for their sweethearts.
there were fewer silk and velvet cos
tunes for the street, and more plain, tidy
house dresses.
If there were fewer ''please, darlings, -
in public, and more polite manners in pri-
vate
If wives and husbands would take some
pleasure as they 90 along, and not de-
generate into mere toiling machines. Rec.
reation is necessary to keep the heart in
its place, and to get along without it is a
big mistake.
If men would remember that women
can t always be smiling, who have to cook
the dinner, answer the bell half dozen
times, and get rid of neighbor who has
dropped in, tend to sick baby, tie up the
cut finger of two year-old, gather up the
playthings of a four-year- old, tie up the
head of six year-old on skates, and get
an eight-year old ready for school, to say
nothing of sweeping, cleaning, etc. A

There was no scandal. Fortune was kind
