CHAPTER XIV.
The Kings MESSENGER.

A minute passed and the bedroom
door was again opened. Madame de
WARMER and DR.. Starva conversed in
hurried whispers, the electric light
shining full on my face. moved about
restlessly, but did not open my eyes.
Presently the woman seated herself at
my bedside. DR.. Starva left the room,
the door being slightly ajar.
could not resist the temptation to
half open my eyes. Madame de Var
nier was praying fervently, regarding
with passionate alteration a jeweled
cross held before her eyes. A peremp-
tory knock at the door of the drawing
room opening on the corridor put an
abrupt end to these devotions, which
seemed to me so incongruous. She
clasped her hands; she listened, rigid
with anxiety. 1t may be imagined that
| myself listened, scarcely less anx-
ious. 1t was the concierge again.
Here is the Englishman's card. He
says he is a kings messenger. He
brings important dispatches. He in
sists that were his Excellency at the
point of death he must none the less
place these dispatches in his hands to-
night"
But as his Excellency's physician l
forbid it" replied DR.. Starva, with de-
termination.
And" entreated the woman gliding
to the door, can. you not make him
understand how disagreeable it would
be for me to be surprised in these
rooms, and that it would annoy Sir
Mortimer beyond measured"

stances make it impossible that his

Use them yourself if you will" des-
perately replied Starva. But at least
you need not tell this Englishman the
truth"
1T is impossible to deceive him."
persisted the concierge. All day he
has been waiting for his Excellency.
A quarter of an hour ago he was
smoking in the garden below. He has
seen the light shining through the
shutters of his Excellency's apartment.
He knows that 1t is the apartment of
his Excellency."
You can tell him that you have
placed Mr.. Haddon in these rooms for
the night only" persuaded DR.. Starva,
producing his pocketbook.

cierge sorrowfully, his eyes on the

teresting reading" and give US text
for a stirring campaign.
And then the result might afford an
answer to a question which has long
engaged the politicians. What infiu-

year? a." said the free trader. Il

ardent Clevelandite. MIR. Cleveland
did it with the force of his personality.
He was the platform" "The Home
stead strike" said the Disguised Re-
publicans. But for that Gen Har-
rison> would have had a walkover."
And so the contention has continued
to this day, and still continues.
Now, if it was the tariff plank in
the Democratic platform which did the
work then, why not ask history to re-
peat itself? Why not next year again
challenge protection to another battle
TO the death? The protectionists
would ask nothing better. They would
rush to take up such a challenge. and
then we should all enjoy the campaign
hugely. The tariff would make a love-
ly issue. and especially in the light Of
what happened to the Democratic
party after it carried the country in
1892 on free trade platform.-Wash.

Hard to Wreck.

Now that the railroad magnates|
have had time to sit down and think it'll
over, they seem to agree that the|
the existence of conditions which pre-
vented the recent furry in Wall street
from travelling far outside of the'
strictly speculative belt. Melville e |
ingalls,, chairman of the board of di
rectors of the Cincinnati, Chicago &
st. Louis railroad, is quoted as say
ing on the twenty-second OF March;
1t is true, of course, that the coun
try is going through a form of crisis
which may turn out all right, or which
may prove hurtful. But one thing
should strike one forcibly; whild
stocks have shrunk billions you have
heard of no failures or business catas
trophies, have you? That would seen
to indicate solidity and a substantial
prosperity which will be hard I'd
wreck.
Under normal conditions Mr. Ingall
is strenuous friend of tariff re
form" But circumstances alter cases

days" in which stock values wen
tumbling down at the rate of hun
dreds of millions a day About tina
time. we venture to guess, Mr.. Ingall
was mighty glad that tariff agitatio
and the dread of tariff changes did no
occur in the tendency toward d
structive panic, and that tariff stabi
ity and business solidity produced
substantial prosperity that was har
to wreck

Some Other Tariff

We are told by the Boston Adve
tiser that the Republican party
Massachusetts is led by Republican
who are as strong protectionists d
any stand-pat leader at Washington
but who are not so possessed of
fetish that they must consider it poll
ically as crime to alter tariff whid
has outlived its best period of useft
ness"
What tariff is 1t that has outlivd
its best period of usefulness?" If u
thought that the Advertiser could I
any possibility mean the Dingley I'd
if. which has proved and is still pro|
ing itself to be by far the create
prosperity producer among all II
tariffs known to history, we shou|
greatly doubt that sort of stand-pd
ism. 1t must be that the Advertis
means some other tariff.

Reciprocity with South America.

The sound principle in reciprocity Is
that we shall offer a free market for
things we do not produce in return for
a free market in lands which have prod
ucts different from ours; and southern
America supplies the necessary condi-
lions for this Philadelphia North Amer
lean.
Is not that precisely what we are
now giving them? Can the North
American name a single article which
we do not ourselves produce that is
not already on the free list? Our inn
ports from all South America in 1906
amounted to $14O,422, 1876. OF this sum
coffee and crude rubber made up fully
three-quarters We levy no tariff on
either coffee or crude rubber. What
then, is to be the basis of reciprocity
dickers with the South American re-
publics? There is, practically, no
basis, unless it be the willingness Of
those countries to give our exports a
preference in return for our free ad-
mission OF their coffee and rubber We
could. Of course. establish a basis by
placing a tariff on those non-competi-
tive products but that would violate
a cardinal principle of protection
Protection tariffs competitive articles
only. II would seem that South
America is provided with the neces-
sary conditions for sound reciprocity
but is not disposed to supply those
conditions.
