A BLIND CONFIDENCE.

Providence correspondent of the
New York Tribune calls attention to
the alleged fact that. since the atti
tude of the present congress toward
the protective policy was made clear
ffty-three million dollars Of New
England money has been pledged for
the extension Of her cotton mills This
he holds up, and with justice. as a
remarkable exhibition of faith in the
country's adherence to protection
The faith of those New England
ers would be entirely justified but
for this one salient fact, While the
country at large is as earnest as ever
in its devotion to the principle Of
protection-that is. so far as protec-
tion is needed to enable American
manufacturers to hold the home mar
ket against foreign competition, and
thus to increase the opportunities of
American labor ~ it is full of wrath
against the perversion of the prin-
ciple for the mere purpose of in
creasing the manufacturer profit and
fortifying oppressive monopolies That
is what is being done by Aldrich,
Payne, Cannon & Co, in their present
revision of the tariff
The only safety of the protective
principles lies in revision downward"
wherever the necessity for protection
has passed. If this is not granted, as
promised the people last fall, it is
altogether probable that wrath may get
the better Of the old affection for the
protective principle, and that invest
ments made in reliance on such af.
fection may suffer Aldrich and his
gang. not the free trades, the today
most to be feared by those New Eng
land capitalists But let the gang
carry through their plans Of revision
upward and free trade win at once
have so many thousands of converts
as to send a panic through New Eng
lands manufacturing Phoenix

RURAL FREE DELIVERY

Twenty years ago rural free mail
delivery was regarded as visionary
and impractical, an iridescent dream,
but the American people now annual
ly pay $S5,OOO,OOO for the service on
10000 routes. In less than a double
decade in the future. no doubt there
will be 100000 routes. costing 800 O00,.
600.
The pioneer in congress of rural free
delivery was a man named Pickler,
native of Indiana and representative
from South Dakota. His specially was
pensions, and though his heart was as
plastic to the prompting OF good i'm
pulse as wax, he loved to make bloody
shirt speeches and stroye to make
treason odious. When Tom Reed fail
ed to deliver the Hon. Pickler's vote
for the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman silver law he hurled
at the recalcitrant a mingled sarcasm
and invectiye drown from the book Of
Job. But Pickler was 16to-ler up
to the elbow, and he flew the coop
When the rural free delivery propos-
ition was first seriously considered in
congress representative from Texas.
Mr.. Cockrell, brother of the then
senator OF that name from Missouri |
made a notable speech against the in
novation and his plea was for the
Saturday afternoon at the crossroad,
where farmers met to make purchases
receive their mail, and confer one with
another about matters and things as
their ancestors had done for centuries.
1t was a fine speech, and did much to
defeat the proposition that session
That was the Fifty-second congress.
The Sixty-second congress win not
have a single member of either house
who would vote TO repeal rural free de-
livery, which is, perhaps. worth double
its oost-Oklahoma City Times.

Progress That May Be Opposed.
One of the latest indications OF tne
progress Of Japan in Occidental ideas
is the project now on foot to illuminate
the summit Of the celebrated mountain
Fujiyama, which figures in almost all
Japanese pictures, and which is one Of
the loftiest and most beautiful volcanic
peaks in the world. with a gigantic
electric light, Already the pilgrim sta.
tions on the way up the peak are heat
ed and lighted with electricity. Since
The Japanese are an artistic people.
one wonders whether some of them
may not oppose this startling innova-
tion. as the people Of Venice recently
expressed their disapprobation of the
scheme to light the Venetian canals
