change either in policy or In ad-

1t is recalled that when President
Taft entered the White House three
and half years ago the business of
the country was depressed and dis
couraged. with thousands of men idle
and with capital shrinking from invest
ment; and 1t is noted that from the
very beginning of the Taft admiais-
tration the tide of business activity
has been rising, until it is now at
full food. Just how full the flood is

administration can find NJ convincing
answer.
What Politics Can Do.
The only thing they can say is that
the business of the country is too big
and prosperous to be halted by any
political condition or consideration
But there are those who remember
that the same thing was said in the
campaign of 1892. In that campaign
as in this, the industrial activity of
the nation was at high tide, labor
was fully employed, farmers had
good crops, for which they we're get
ting high prices, and the Democrats
jeered at the idea that the defeat of
Harrison would change these con-
ditions, just as they jeer now at the
suggestion that the defeat of Taft
may alter existing conditions.
But the very moment it became
known that Harrison had been de-
feated, business began to slacken. It

Democratic administration could get
the reins of power into its hands the.

until the new tariff law was finally
enacted, the fear of 1t, the certainty
that II would write radical changes
into the tariff schedules, spread a
pail of uncertainty over all business
operations. Manufactures limited
their output to immediate orders be-
cause they did not dare to fill their
warehouses with goods which might
be brought into competition a few
months later with similar products
from European factories, made under
European conditions; jobbers and
wholesalers bought only to fill their
current demands, and retailers kept
their stock at the lowest stage pos
sible so that they might not be over
loaded with high priced goods when
the expected influx of cheap products
should come.
Railroads in Trouble.
The result of all this retrench-
ment was that railroad traffic fell off
so that practically every railroad
went into the hands of receivers, Dor
rowers were unable to meet their OBJ
legations, so that banks were forced
to close by the hundred; labor was
thrown out of employment, the price
of farm products declined, and with
in six months from the day when the
Democratic orators were declaring
that no matter how the election went
the business of the country would
boom right along, we were in the
grip of the most deadly panic the
country had known in half a cen
fury. Who is bold enough to say
that the industrial history of 1892
would not be repeated in 1912 if the
political history of that campaign
were duplicated in this? Now, as
then Democratic victory would mean
the revision of the tariff along non
protection lines. Such revision has
never yet occurred in this country
without bringing industrial depres-
sion in it's train. What reason is
there to believe that history would
reverse itself?

An American Who Believes In the Supe-
riority of the Yellow Race.

In the February American Magazine
there is an extraordinary contribution
from Lincoln Colcord, the well-known
writer, who has spent many years in
the orient. He says that the most won
derful transformation in the world is 90
ing on in China. He goes on to say:

China is deeper one She needs i'm.

begins to look as if the Manchu dynasty

SEA POST0FFICES.
Handling and Sorting the Mail Matter
on Ocean Liners,

F1anoitnq ana ooFtln9 tnc wan "dttor
on Ocean Liners.
Every one is aware that large guam
dty of mail comes from Europe. Prob
ably most persons assume that 1t is
dumped off the steamers in bulk and
sorted and routed in the postoffice of
the receiving port. Such system
would result in hopeless congestion,
and practically all of the 100000
pounds of foreign mail matter receiv-
ed at New York on an average Of re-
rent years is ready, sorted and sacked
| when the steamers make port. This
work is done in the sea postoflices
aboard the ships and means day
saved in the time of delivery of mali
matter intended for inland points.
| In the huge mass OF mail brought
into New York each year there are on
nm average S0.O0O,O00 separate pieces,
many thousands with inadequate adj
dresses, yet to such a degree of eff
cheney has the operation of the sea
postofilces been brought and so care
fully is the work done that less than
900 errors are made annually. As the
entire quantity of the ocean mail re-
ceived in year would fill 2,200 stand
ard mail cars an almost incredible ac-
curacy is indicated-less than one err
ror OF any kind whatever for every
four carloads of mail.
Congress authorized the sorting of
mail on board conveying steamships In
1890, but it was not until the year fol-
lowing that any systematic effort was
made to do so. The work OF the sea
postoflice is very similar TO that of the
railway mail service. On board a
large liner there will be usually two
United States clerks, two in the en-
ploy OF the country from which the
steamer sails and several subalterns
or porters This force will on an aver
age trip open and sort from 500 to 900
sacks of mail, probably consisting of
100000 ordinary letters and 1000 reg
istered letters, besides 100000 par
cells and periodicals. Mail for New
York city is distributed and separate
ly sacked for each of the stations and
that for the United States generally
according to schedule which has 1913
divisions. In addition TO the mail for |
the United States, the sea postoffice |
clerks must sort that destined for Gu
ba, Mexico, Canada and the orient, |
great deal of the last class being for
warded by rail to San Francisco and |
thence by steamer.
To facilitate matters two mail boats
are maintained at New York. and these /
meet incoming steamers at the quar-
antine station. one taking on the mail I
bags intended for direct delivery TO
trains and steaming directly to the
railway stations along the river front,
the other that for New York city and
such others as require rehandling. The

And neither owned an unforgiving
heart,
Nor ever sinned against good feelings
laws.
Yet day by day Time saw them draw
apart;
Time that from infancy had watched
their rise
Through blameess early years passed
each by each;
Even |, close knit to them by natural
ties,
Strove unavailingly to mend the
breach.
and still our best endeavors prove in
vain
To bring together that divided pair;
And now | know they will not meet
again
Those two sides of the parting in my
hair. London Punch.
