SERIOUS HANDICAP
Senator FRYE on Protected Trade
and Unprotected Ships.

Washington. March 4.-SenatOr Frye, 81
Maine. who may be properly termed the father
Of protection Of the American merchant ma
rine. says:
1T seems 20 me that The policy OF protection
has been benehcent in our country I have no
doubt that to-day industrially we have really
no peer Nearly every industry has been pro-
tected. has fourished and is fOurishing. one.
and from a national point Of view more impor-
tant than any other has for fifty years been
without protection compelled TO compete with
rivals protected. The logical result follows.
With a seacOast OF ten thousand miles. equipped
with splendid harbOrs. with forests bOundless.
with iron and coal enough for the world, With
sagaciOus enterprising business men. with capi-
tai In great abundance with skilled IabOrers
with constantly increasing foreign commerce.
we have permitted our rivals our interiors in
almost all these regards. 20 seize upon the path
ways Of the great oceans TO our almost utter
exclusion

would dream that il is profitable for US, in tn
deavOrin= TO find those markets 10 seek them
through our enemies in trade? Suppose there
is merchant in the city. Would yop dream
that that merchant for a moment would think
Of hiring the commercial agent Of a rival house
10 find markets for his goods? Is there PER
son who doubts that an American ship, COM
manded by intelligent. active. earnest, inter
ested American officers, is a better instrument
for the distribution Of our products abroad. and
for the finding Of those markets. than Ger
man ship. oficered by Germans. Germany be-
ing the dangerous rival OF the United States in
all this business for the next twenty-five years.
What we do? What ought We to DO?
Some OF our friends on the other side think that
free ships constitute the remedy, and Yet the
same Senators who say that free ships are the
remedy insist that build ships just IS
cheaply as they be built anywhere else.
Then what would be the benefit OF free ships
H. on the other hand. our contention is right.
that shiss cost - per cent more here than they
do abroad. then what would free ships do? They
would close every shipyard in the United States
against ever building any ships for the foreign
trade. There would be your standsth They
would be confined TO building coastwise vesses
alone"

And on that November night, WINE

house was called, slept and dreamed,
the first snow of the season came fall
ing softly down, and when day dawned
q pure white mantle covered the earth
for miles around. One person in par
ticular at Hilltop hailed the snow with
delight. She had made two or three
circles of the house before she ap-
peared at the breakfast table and said
to her widowed mother:
Its just what have been waiting
for. shall kill as many as 20 rab-
bits to-day. They were running
about last night, and left thousand
tracks. Oh, mother, wish you loved
to tramp about In the snow-and fall
down and roll over and get up-and
walk three or four miles-and shoot
rabbits-and-and-be Nimrod.'
The widow Warden looked up at the
20-year-old daughter with an indulgent
smile and shook her head. There were
good sisters who whispered that Miss
JEANNE was bit Of Z hoyden. She
11shed. hunted, prospected, rode horse

know how to sew or cook. When she

her breakfast, the girl was out in her
short skirt and legginGs. and with her
gun on her shoulder, she picked out q
rabbit track she knew and followed
It toward the woods back of the house.
If that rabbit had known of the pres
encs Of the bloodthirsty girl in tho
house he would have headed for tho

he wandered over half the county and

softly approaching his hiding place.
