THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTION.

Critics OF the protective tariff who
urge with some reason that our a
u~fact1ring interests have long since
passed the infant stage and should
now prosper without legislative as
sistance. lose sight of one essential
fact. The protective tariff is main
tained not solely or even primarily
for the purpose of inducing certain
grades " manufacture ia the United
States. II is maintained primarily
for the purpose OF maintaining the
working people OF the United States
on a higher wage plane and in bet.
ter conditions OF living than com
petitive employees receive abroad. In
other words we must maintain the
protective tariff so long as We seek
TO give 10 the American working men
n better wage. a better home. and
more comforts than working men en-
joy abroad. and in seeking 10 do this
we must take into consideration not
only competitive conditions among
the nations OF Europe but competi
tive conditions in Japan and China,
which are beginning rapidly TO de-
velop their industries.
In 1907 the general average of
wages throughout the Japanese En-
pire was St2c per day. In 1910 this
had increased 2?isc n day. and ia
pan is fast becoming one OF the great
industrial nations of the world. In
.chinaware. in potteries and particu-
larry in collars and shirts. .Japan's
lmI ortations are already beginning TO
threaten the prosperity of the Ameri.
can makers. We have no industry it,
the United States thar can withclt
extreme protection compete with a
wage scale. such as is maintained in
Japan. Both Japan and China are
fast developing iron and steel plants.
and unless We intend to surrender
to them the markets &c the entire
Pacific coast. a protective duty high
enough 10 be almost prchibitive must
be maintained against their products.
Protection aims directly TO give TO
American working men a reasonably
short day of WORK. a decent and en-
honest wage. an opportunity to rear
a family III comfort. aud TO educate
them TO the point of intelligent cit:-
zens.
That H. its prime object and we
cannot surrender the protective
theory without s%urrenderiuc cur
claim 10 the maintenance OF high
grade living conditions among the
masses Of our people.

The hosts voice, nalr iaughing and half earnest, joined the discussion.
 Under the trying circumstances why not make this a marriage of con- venience The house is. fortunately of rambling temperament. Jim might occupy the east ramble and Reta the west. Also the room intend ed for nursery could be converted into a second dining-room. That is" he continued in raillery, providing you cannot agree to dine together"
 CT d." admonished Mrs. Thomas Cant you see that you are embar- rassing our guests?"
 From out the merriment Jim's voice finally found itself. No one observed the strained muscles about his mouth nor the hardness of his tone as he ad dressed Reta.
 "Well-Reta-how does Teds idea strike you?"
 A breathless silence followed Jim's abrupt proposal A stirring of sym pathy swept over the feminine ele- ment.
 Reta cast an indignant glance at Jim. Rising swiftly she left the room without backward giance.
 The hosts face feh as he watched the retreating figure. He turned 0pologetically toward Sutcliffe. "I am afraid we are in bad" he said "It is Up to you to square us."
 But Jim had not heard Already he was suiding toward the arbor whither Reta had taken her indignation.
 He put his arms about her and would not let her go for all her fran tic struggles.
 'I couldn't propose sentimentally before all the crowd" he told her gently.

AN ABRUPT PROPOSAL
By MARY D. ARNoTT.

Honeymoon House was aglow with pink candle light and the warmth of friendship. Laughter mingled with the clink of punch cups as the twelve guests arose to toast their genial hos tess, and to wish her bon voyage on her prospective trip to the continent.
 There was a tremor in her voice as Mrs. Thomas responded to the kindly wishes of her guests Honeymoon House had in turn harbored four of the couples during the authorization onto the sea of matrimony Being childless herself Mrs. Smith took es- pecial interest in young people who were making their own way in life.
 James Sutcliffe arose. ITO the next couple who occupy Honeymoon House!" he said
 There was a hearty response and burst of merriment as all eyes cen tered on the speaker. Out of the laugh ter the hosts voice arose
 Its up to you and Reta-yoU are the only eligibles for the position he toasted with eyes that embraced discounted couple.
 A blank look came into Reta Fl liot's face as she glanced at Mr Thomas.
 You know very well, Ted, that Jimmy Sutcliffe and I are far too busy in our individual pursuits to entertain the thought of matrmony.' She smiled half wistfully at big Jim You see, Jim's pleasure and mine, in Honeymoon House, preceded that Of any of you. An interior decorator and an architect are apt to look upon the output of their brains as something infinitely beautiful. Jim and I love every nook and cranny in this house but it is not necessity that we mar ry-in order to enjoy it."
 A shadow fitted into the eyes of the hostess.
 II am sorry, in view of your fond ness for the place. to tell you that this may be your farewell visit to Honeymoon House" she said.
 Mrs. Thomas continued without awaiting the protests which she knew were on every lip.
 "Yes-it is a fact. The first couple to marry before my trip abroad is to have it for wedding present"
 What" exclaimed Sutcliffe. "You are going to give it away?'
 Mrs. Thomas nodded
 For keeps?" questioned Reta.
 The hostess nodded more emphati- cally.
 Yes. To tell you the truth-I am a bit tired of journeying into the mountains every year. I have decid ed to give it to some of my ~friends who will appreciate it's beauty, and who will take good care of it. l know at least three possible tenants. They will no doubt all jump at the offer
 An ominous silence fell upon he group. Honeymoon House held me .d ories of many happy yesterdays that were to be no part of the tomorrows
 Unconsciously, Reta and Jim had sought each others eyes. A look of pain drew them into closer under standing
 'Reta and I are responsible for all its beauty" thought Jim.
 Tt is ours,' thought Reta, and tear felt strangely near her lashes Edith Thomas has no right to give it away She cast a resentful glance at her hostess.
 Mrs. Thomas caught the glance and its meaning She langhingly retorted:
 'I know what is in your mind. Reta but you have as good a chance of Win ming the house as anyone"
 Reta's voice was not altogether steady as she answered: That wouldn't do Jimmy any good, and he loves the house as much as l do."
