more archaic than he). and by Mendelssohn,

professional standard In any respect But there Is
native beauty in the quality Of her low and medium

PROTECTION MEANS PROSPERITY.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Those who are to revise the tariff should
have in mind the extraordinary expansion or bust
ness and consequent prosperity that has attended
the Dingley bill. All through Mckinley's adminis-
tration all through RcOsevelts administration
down to July / 1897, when Roosevelt ht to
impair its efficiency by the German agreement,
there was seemingly no end TO prosperity Presi-
dent Taft's administration can be prosperous or
disastrous according as Mckinley or Roosevelt Is
followed on this one policy. If the American mar
ket is to be for the American-then prosperity II
the American market is to be given up 10 the
cheaper producer-then adversity. The Carnegie
idea Of temporary protection derived from Adam
Smith and John Stuart Mill. is apologetc, and
should not he followed Because there is no war
shall we tear down forts. sink our warships
and disrnantIe our guns? Yet Carnegie wants no
American navy. Shall we follow him in that, too!

placed him the plane with the great
Parisians All this he achieved despite the handi-
cap of a pair of eyes weak that nearly every
thing had be read to him.
Most Of his work as a constructive architect
done before 1880 Since that time he had given him
self over largely writing and critical work.

MI sturgis spent most Of his time in this city
in his home on the north side Of stuyvesant Square,
but he generally went TO westchester County for
the summer He had a wide circle OF friends
among whom he known connoisseCr in
many things besides art, particularly wines and
dishes. He used to refer to Theodore Thomas
his double co-father-in-law.' Mr.. Thomas's
had married daughter of Mr. StuTgis and Mr.
Sturgiss had returned the compliment by mar
ryinE Mr.. Thomas's daughter.
