Quick Action on Lost Pin.

Recently he found a highly jeweled

A few minutes later he stopped at a
cafe to examine his find at his leisure

Before his order was given at the
bar the voices of two men at near

were discussing lost scarfpin, while
the third, the loser, was telephone

Washington and Alexandria.

Congressman Hayes has introduced
into the national House Of Representa-
tives bill for the restoration of Alex
andria county to the District or
Columbia. 1t is believed that while
the city of Washington today Is largely
and essentially a residential one that
with the annexation of Alexandria 1t
would be built up very largely along
industrial lines. Certainly it would
seem as if the proposed annexation
would be a great advantage tolAlexan-
dria, inasmuch as no city in the South
is more in need of modern streets,
sewers and other up-to-date improve
ments. There is certainly much to be
desired also there in the way of mod
ern water supply, and an up-to-date
system of electric lighting. If the
Hayes bill should pass it would mean
the complete renovation of city
which at the present time is largely
suggestive of the past rather than OF
the present.

upon official figures-the size OF the
crop from year to year being always
more or less dependent upon weather
conditions. The largest wheat yield
in this country in the past decade was
In 1901 when it reached the enormous
total of 74S,46O,21S bushels The low
est yield was in 1900 when 1t
amounted to only 522,229,505 bushels
Inasmuch as Mr.. Hill estimates the
annual consumption of wheat in this
country at about 630,O0O,000 bushels
it will be seen that the margin avail
able for export under present condi-
lions is comparatively small. 1t is
doubtless true that there are today in
this country large areas of land
suitable for wheat raising that have
not been utilized for that purpose. a
considerable portion of this land is
not now under cultivation at all while
the rest of it is used for other crops.
One Of the immediate results of the
prevailing nigh prices VIII, undoupt-
edly, be to largely increase the
acreage devoted to this crop. The
State of Maine is fortunate in having
a farming section peculiarly well
adapted to the raising of wheat. 1t is
said that upon the rich and fertile
farm lands of Aroostook county
double the amount of wheat can be
raised to the acre that can be raised
upon the prairie lands of the middle
west At the present time practi-
cally all the best lands of Aroostook
county, and, to considerable extent,
of a number of other counties of our
state are devoted to potato culture,
but, if the price of wheat continues to
rule as high as at the present time,
there is reason to believe that, in
years to come a considerable
of the farm land in
this State will be devoted to
the raising of this cereal There is
every reason to believe that it can be
produced here under conditions as
favorable as those in the Canadian
and that it could be made
a substantial source of profit to our
farmers

Liberia and the United States.

The report that the Liberians arc
very much dissatisfied and disap-
pointed at the course pursued by the
commission which recently visited
them from the United States is not
SURPRISING The work of that commits
sion was distinctly limited to looking
over the ground, making careful in
yestigation of existing conditions, and
reporting upon them. 1t is very evil
dent that the people of Liberia were
looking for something very different
from a mere inquiry. Just what, it IS
difficult to determine, but it would
seem from their present criticisms of
the commission that they expected it.,
at the very least. to pay off the
National debt of their country. Hav-
ing done this the Liberian government
would have asked it to proclaim a
protectoate over that country to the
end that Uncle Sam would have been
held to fight it's battles in case any
other nation should show disposition
to practice the arts of benevolent as
similation upon it. 1t is needless to
say that this government will never
permit itself to be put in such a posi-
ton While it has the most friendly
feeling for the people of Liberia there
is no reason why it should shoulder
their troubles. 1t has enough of its
own. If the people of the little Afri-
can Republic have been unable to
keep up with the march of progress it
is their misfortune, but the march of
progress has demonstrated the fact
that the people who could not stand
civilization have usually had to make
way for it.

The remark of Henry d. Thoreau
that 1.-The right to tax is the right to
destroy" is being much quoted just
now But, inasmuch as all protection
of life and property rests ultimately
upon the right to tax, which is the
foundation of organized government,
very sound argument against the ex-
ercise of the powers Of government
IN securing from citizenship the reven-
.,es necessary to its existence.

American Prosperity Under Protection

The Chicago Tribune has recently
compiled from the reports of the
United States bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and
labor some figures showing the value
of American manufactures which are
of special interest and value at this
time as showing what has beer ac-
complished in this country under the
protective policy. In 1850 the net
value of American manufactures was
$655.OOOOO0 and the exports, including
food stuffs wholly or partly manufac-
tured, were valued at $43,OOO,OOO for
66 per cent. of the total output. I'M
ported manufactures were valued
at $43,OO0,0OO being 21S per cent.
of the American product. In 1905,
as result of continued pro-
lection, the net value of American
manufactures had risen to $10,S92, 0O0,-
900. The exports aggregated $685.
100000. The imports were $576,OOO,-
900, four times, it is true, as much as
the imports of 1850, but, whereas in
1850 the imports amounted in dollars
to 21.S per cent of the value of the
total American product, in 1905 they
amounted only to 5.3 per cent of the
home production of manufactures
These figures are significant They
tell a story of industrial progress and
expansion which has never been
equalled in the history Of the world.
Along, too. with this magnificent re-
cord breaking growth in manufac-
lures has gone hand in hand 4
splendid prosperity in all other de-
partments of American Industrial
enterprise, notably in the splendid
achievements of American farms
which have not only furnished IN
abundance of food products for the
use of our own country but have sent
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
abroad to help feed the people of
other lands
Such figures as these tell their own
story. and, in the light of them the
conditions Of the free trader look
specially puerile and ineffective
Under no tariff did this country make
great progress or greater wealth than
under the Dingley tariff law which, we
believe, the very great majority Of the
people of this country would have
been entirely content to have had re-
main upon the statute books for many
years to come. AS the Journal has
before remarked, it can only hope that
the outcome of the present tariff bill
in Congress may be the final income
of a measure that is somewhere near
as good.
