PO|fCl| Comment. +:
Drift Toward Protection.

1t certainly is curious that at time
when there is more or less discussion of
the question OF revising the tariff of
the United States there should be en-
tirely different propositions abroad in
various other countries. Even in Eng
land, which free traders are accus-
TONED to regard as the exemplar Of eco
nomic perfection because it gets along
without protection. there is well-de-
fined tendency toward a different poll
cy- 1t is admitted that -ome interests
In the island are suffering as result
OF ruinous foreign competition. against
which the laws interpose no check.
Agriculture especially is at low ebb,
although in fertile country like Eng
jand, with enormous manufactures Civ
ing employment to millions of workers
and circulating great sums of money
as wages, there should be not only ac-
tivity In farm pursuits. but ready
market for every food product.
YET something is the matter in Eng
land. and the cutlery aga inst the exist
Ing economic system is growing louder
and louder. In almost every other quar-
ter OF the globe inhabited by civilized
peoples there is strong disposition To
maintain protection and increase the
safeguards OF home Industries. Ger
many recently overhauled its schedules
and raised the rates on many classes of
Imports. France has Il maximum and
minimum tariff, and does not hesitate
TO apply the extreme figures when it
thinks it's own interests will be served
thereby. Canada, which has no use for
the free trade of the mother country
has long been an ardent protectionist
and has lately increased some duties
although it gives preferential figure
TO England. All the other important
British colonies have protection, some
OF them in the most pronounced form.
and several of them have shown an ON
inous inclination to take both the eco
nornic and political bits in their teeth
md ego 1t alone" as regards their own
uffairs. The late conference OF colonial
Premiers in London was striking il
.ustration of the independent spirit
which, while affirming sturdy allegiance
10 the imperial government. is becom-
Ing more and more intolerant of re.
straint In any matter of home con-
Germ
In every instance here cited 1t will
be seen that the drift is with the pro-
lection current-that the advanced and
progressive peoples are determined to
safeguard their industries. Possibly
this is selfshness. But it is an en-
llghtened selfishness He who guards
not his own is likely TO be accused
sooner or later of failure TO comply
with most important trust. And the
question naturally suggests itself {:
When other nations are taking special
pains. to establish economic rules In
their own interest. Is it good time to
take down the bars behind which Amer
lean industry is thriving because 1t is

Two Great Water Projects.

On opposite sides OF the continent
two water supply projects-the great
est I'm history-are engaging the at
tention of engineers. They are the
plan for the Catskfll addition to New
York's present system and that of
Los Angeles for the utilization of the
waters OF the Owens river Just as
the limit Of the supply OF the me-
tropolis is uncomfortably near the de-
mand. on account, Of the wonderful
growth of the city, so Los Angeles,
which, instead of a population of 3d.
600 III 1890, now has nearly 100000,
has difficulty in making ends meet. so
far as wate- Is concerned. So IL Is
proposed to draw upon the Owens
river valley and to bring its waters
to the relief Of the city.
No other water system In the world
can compare with these two, and the
comparisons and contrasts between
them are Of considerable interest. The
Los Angeles supply must be carried 226
miles from the dam in InyO County
to the north Of the city, to its desti-
nation; the length of the new CatsklU
acqueduct will be III miles The Owens
river valley will yield 4OO.0OO,OOO gal
Ions daily; the Catskill reservoirs from
5OO,00O,O0O to 600,OOO,OOO gallons. The
estimated cost of the Pacific coast prof.
ect Is 100000, that of the new Cats
kill system $162,OOO,0OO.

Losses I'm tho War.

Gen. Porter, in the Century. says ::
while at the mess table taking our
last meal before starting upon the
march to the. James on the evening Of
the 18th, the conversation turned upon
the losses which had occurred and the
reinforcements which had been re-
ceived up TO that time. The figures
then known did not differ much from
those contained in the accurate official
reports afterward compiled. From the
opening of the campaign, May 4, to the
movement across the James, June II,
the total casualties in the army Of the
Potomac, including Sheridan's cavalry
and Burnside's command, had been ::
Killed, 1921; wounded, $3.50; cap
tured or missing, 1896; total, 54,92G.
The services of all the men included
in these figures were not, however, per
manently lost to the army. A number
Of them were prisoners who were aft
erward exchanged, and many had been
only slightly wounded and were soon
ready for duty again. Some were doubt
less counted more than once, as sol
der who was wounded twice In battle
and afterward killed may have been
counted three times in making up the
list of casualties, whereas the army had
really lost but one man.
1.-The losses of the enemy have never
been ascertained. No precise informa-
ton on the subject has been discovered,
and not even q general statement can
be made of his casualties. In a few
of the battles of this campaign his
losses were greater than the losses suf-
fered by the Union troops in the great
CIR part of the battles they were less.
Our reinforcements had amounted to
just about the same number as the
losses. 1t was estimated from the
best sources of Information that Lee
had also received achievements equal
to his losses, so. that the armies were
now of about the same size as when the
campaign began.
"All the reinforcements organized In
the North and reported as on their
way to the front did not reach us.
There was good deal of truth in the
remark reported TO have been made by
Mr.. Lincoln: We get large body OF
achievements together and start them
TO the front; but after deducting the
sick, the deserters. the stragglers and
the discharged, the numbers seriously
diminish by the time they reach their
destination. 1t Is like trying to shovel
fieas across a barnyard; you can't get
them all there"

Until this discovery was made the land

Corn, cotton and other ordinary crops

! for the land. The farmers eked out
a miserable existence with their
scrawny patches, of the old-time prod
ucts. Finally a government soil expert
visited the section and made an analy
sis of the SOIL He pronounced it splen
dldly adapted to tomato growing and
to peach raising. This information
was scoffed at by the practical farm
ers, who thought they knew more about
the soil of their own farms than any
'upstart'' from Washington.
A few of the more progressive land
| owners thought that there might be
something IN the report made by the
government soil expert, and in order
TO test the theory they planted small
patches of tomatoes and set out peach
tree orchards. Their success from
the very beginning was little short OF
marvellous. The tomatoes thrived and
produced abundantly. The peach trees
made fire orchards, and when they
reached bearing age they produced
a fruit that soon attained wide repu-
tstion for its excellence.
Many difficulties in the way Of mar
ketlng had to be overcome before the
tomato and peach raising industries
were placed upon certain and prof.
table footingf Although abundant
crops were raised, heavy losses were
incurred OIL account of the lack of O
system In their marketing. The grow
ers now have their own sales agents In
the principal cities of the North and
East, who attend to the marketing for
them. The demand for the tomato crop
is so great, however, that buyers
flock here from all parts Of the cOuR
try during the season and most of the
crop is sold free on board the cars at
the shipping point.
