Foolish to Force 1t.

That the tariff will some time have

or of dispute. Every intelligent man
comedies that this time will eventually
come, since constantly changing bust

about but, until that time does arrive,
the party would be very foolish indeed
to undertake to force it. The people
of this country are not slow to express
their preference upon great questions
of this character and when they be-

may be depended upon to say SO in

The "RenIv PrOSperity.

prosperity which now hovers over this
progressive nation. Every industry
throughout the country is fiourishing as

the demand for men; harvest time is at
hand and some industries may suffer
for lack of help. There is no excuse
for a single idler in the United States
under present conditions, neither has
there been for some years past-but
just now the field of opportunity. is
broader and better than ever. And
the end is not yet; advancement is GER
tain where confidence is so pronounced
and general. The country is without a
serf or a slave, and with plenty of
work at good wages should inspire ev-

standpoint, to leave we'll enough alone

protection American manufactures are
sold more cheaply abroad than they
are to the domestic consumer. The re-
port of the Federal Commissioner of
Corporations on the Standard Oil will
be used as a campaign document
against the Republican party. Every
vulnerable industrial combination
which the people are now assailing in
their ill-considered assaults on wealth
will be pilloried as one of the products
of the Republican protective tariff. And
yet there are Republican newspapers
that on the eve of presidential cam
paign which will be the most holly con-
tested of any in recent experience. are
unmindful of their party's critical sit

EUROPEAN MIGRATION.
Huge Annual Increase Since 1850,

Huge Annual Increase Since 1850,
Chiefly from the South and East.
Between the years 1860 and 1880
from 100000 to $4,000 people, tired of
Europe, looked for better conditions
and a new home on the other side of
the Atlantic every year, says the New
York Sun.
Since 1900, according to the statistics
of the European ports, about 100000
persons have left their native lands to
settle beyond sea every year.
The greater part of these emigrants
have adopted the United States as their
country. Several nations, in which
twenty-five years ago there was only
slight tendency to emigration, now
show a considerable annual loss by de-
partures for other lands. This is par
ticularly true Of Italy, Austria-Hun-
gary, Russia, Spain and Portugal In
the years between 1870 and 1880 some
10000 Italians, 5000 Russians and 800
Austrians or Hungarians emigrated ev-
cry year. To-day about 10000 Aus

America, 10000 Russians and $4,000
Italians. These figures are taken from
European sources, and certainly in the
case of Italy they are too low.
Spanish emigration has also in
creased considerably since 1880, and
amounts to-day to $4,000 year. Little
Portugal sends out from 10000 to 3d.
600 of her people annually.
The English and Scandinavian emil
grafton has changed very little In the
last ten years German emigration has
heavily declined. Between 1870 and
1890 the number of German emigrants
each year exceeded 100000 (maximum
Of 221, 900 In 1881, but since 1893 the
number has fallen off very much, and
to-day only about $4,000 Germans an
nually leave their native land. The
present commercial development Of
Germany, no doubt, explains the
change. In Switzerland the conditions
are similar. In 1888 the annual emil
grafton amounted to 1880; to-day It
is only 5000 or 1900.

Where Silver Is High.

1t is thought that the old CayIloma
silver mines in Peru are probably sit
uated at greater elevation than any
other considerable mines in the world
Their altitude varies between 1900
and 1900 feet. They were worked by
the Spaniards in the sixteenth century,
and before that, it is believed, by the
Incas. An English company is now
preparing a hydroelectric plant for
them. This plant will be situated at
an altitude of between $4,000 and 49,
600 feet. 1t will derive its power from
a waterfall on the Santiago river, and
in a dry season from Lake Huaillacho,
one of the sources of the Amazon The
power will be transmitted by cable
about three miles.
