You may recall that reciprocity was
going to be the great corrective OF an
excessively high tariff. That is, we
would keep our tariff rates high. but
whenever foreign country granted
us substantial TRADE fsvors we would
grant that country lower duties. Mr..
Mckinley was strong advocate Of
this policy.
SO the Dingley, ac;passed in 1897 ,pre
yided that the President, with the con
sent, of the Senate, might negotiate re-
ciprocal trade treaties, thereby reduc-
ing by twenty percent the duties nam
ed in the bill as to the products of
countries that granted us equivalent
favors,
The Payne-Aldrich bill names dut-
les which, on the whole, shut foreign
manufacturers out Of this market as
effeetually as the Dingiey rates did.
In the main, wherever chink had
appeared in the tariff wall-as in the
us vi NotIhSo
and German picture rostcards-the new
act stopped it up. And the new act
does not provide that the duties nam
ed in 1t may be lowered by treaty.
On the other hand, it provides that if
foreign country gives Us less favorable
treatment than it accords another ma
tion, the duties named shall, as to
that country, pc increased by twenty
five per cent ad valorem.
Aftert the Dingley act there was much
hopeful talk about negotiating recipro-
cal treaties that would lower our dut-
les by twenty per cent. But the Payne
Aldrich bill is followed by much talk
of tariff wars that would raise our dut-
les fifty per cent. This is where recip-
rocity, confronted by the organized
greed Unprotected interests, finally gets
of.-N. Y. World.

20 Million Oar Debt.

the States the am cunt which the re-
port would indicate West Virginia will
be required to pay fths Supreme Court
adopts the report.
Under paragraph four of the decree
Mr.. Littlefield was directed to report
such proportion Of the ordinary ex-
penses OF the government of Virginia
as was properly assignable to the coun-
ties created into the State Of West Vir-
gnia on the basis Of the average total
population of Virginia with and with
out slaves. The summary under this
heading shows forty million dollars but
buried in the report is en- explanation
that this is thestotal expenditure not
West Virginia's part fit.
Mr.. Littletield adopts the Virginia con-
tention as to the method Of apportion-
ing this debt and by doing Sc fixes West
Virginia's SHARES of it at about eleven
and half million dollars instead of for.
ty million as stated last night. Instead
of making West VirgIpia,s portion OF
the debt something more than forty
eight millions 1t brings it down. 10
about twenty millions.

For the sake Of the future harmony
Of the Wickersbam family the two

then hy putting their heads together

delayed, Winthrope came down with

or, at least, to more considerate
mood. Though his speech and bearing
continued morose he took upon him.
self all the duties of night nurse, be-
sides working and foraging several
hours each day.
Much to Miss Leslie's surprise, she
found herself tending the invalid
through the daytime almost as though
nothing had happened But everything
about this wild and perilous life was
so strange and unnatural to her that
She found herself accepting the most
unconventional relations as a regular
consequence Of the situation. She
was feYerishly eager for anything that
might occupy her mind; for she felt
that to brood over the future might
mean madness. The mere thought Of
he possibilities was far too terrifying

slight. there had been some little com
fort in the belief that she could rely
on Winthrope. But now she was left
alone with her doubt and dread. Even
If she had nothing to fear from Blake,
there were all the savage dangers of
the coast, and behind those, far worse,
the fever
Meantime Blake went about his
share of the camp work, gruff and ST.
lent, but with the usual concrete re-
suits. He brought load after load of
fresh cocoanuts, and took great pains
to hunt out the deliciously favored
eggs of the frigate birds to tempt Win
thrope's failing appetite. When Miss
Leslie suggested that beef juice would
be much better for the invalid than
broth he went out Immediately in
search of gum-bearing tree, and that
night, after heating a small quantity
of gum in the cigarette case with the
adder poison, he spent hours replacing
his arrow-heads with small barbed TIPS
that could be loosened from their sock.
