There Is abundant reason to bolleve
that among practical and farsighted
men the policy of protection to Ameri
can shipping , by means of discrimi
nating dutiea upon Imports in foreign
vessels , is rapidly growing in favor.
Shipbuilders who have hitherto ex
pressed doubts as to the wisdom of
adopting this policy , and have leaned
toward some form of subsidy or sub
vention , now express the conviction
that the policy of discriminating du
ties is the only one likely to be effec
tive and of permanent benefit. They
recognize the fact that subsidies are
difficult to obtain from congress ; that
they are unequal in their operation , fa
voring a new and affording little erne
no protection to the many ; that" the
subsidy measures heretofore passed by
congress have originally been so im
perfect as to require radical amend
ments ; that the arguments in favor of
subsidies are easily controverted , and
that this form of protection would not
accomplish the desired end the resto
ration of the shipbuilding industry and
the creation of shipowning organiza
tions.
Subsidies mlsht prove beneficial to
shipbuilding plants fully equipped for
the construction of passenger steamers ,
either large or small , for subsidies
would tend to encourage the building
of such ships. But the demand for
passenger vessels is comparatively lim
ited , and it Is not likely to increase
greatly , owing to the competition of
foreign ships either already on the lines
or % liich could easily bo diverted to
such service from other routes.
What is imperatively needed is such
a. system of protection as will enable
shipbuilders to devote their attention
to the manufacture of vessels suitable

for cargo carrying. Plants equipped
for the construction of such ships need
encouragement to enlarge their facili
ties without materially augmenting the
cost of their permanent force employed
in drafting , molding and other opera
tions incident lo ship construction. It
is essential to economical shipbuilding
that two or more vessels of precisely
equal dimensions and form shall bo
under contract at the same time , so
that multiples of every part can be pre
pared with only the additional cost of
the material. Vessels so built would
be uniform In every respect , perfection
In model and workmanship and ma
terial would be attained , the reputation
of the builder would be established ,
and this economical plan of construc
tion would enable him sucessfully to
compete with foreign builders and
thereby secure profitable contracts.
It Is said that there is not now a
duplicating plant in this country which
is equipped for the economical con
struction of cargo steamers in the man
ner above Indicated. And yet there is
.scarcely a yard , at least on the Atlan
tic seaboard , which cannot build a
steamship as cheaply as it can be con
structed abroad , the lower cost of ma
terial and the use of labor-saving ma
chinery and appliances nearly , if not
quite , counter-balancing the enhanced
cost of labor. The English shipbrild-
ers are devoting their attention and
energies to the construction of steam
ers instead of sailing vessels. They
are , by manufacturing two or more
ships of the same size and pattern at
the same yard , reducing the cost of
construction to the minimum , and they
are striving to the utmost to retain
their advantage of economical produc
tion.
tion.Clearly
Clearly , therefore , this Is cur oppor
tunity. No time should bo lest in pro
viding such a system of protection as
will enable our shipbuilding industries
to retain the advantage they now enjoy
and to acquire further advantages by
the enlargements of their plants for the
still greater economy of ship construc
tion by what may be termed the whole
sale manufacture of vessels , as is done
in the English and Scotch yards. The
adoption of the policy of discriminat
ing duties upon imports in foreign ves
sels would create such a demand for
American cargo-carrying- as to
stimulate the enlargement of our ship
building plants to the capacity ra-
l quired for the manufacture of large
of vessels of the same size

the establishment of addition-
and restore the shipbuilding
to its pristine vigor. Alike as

manent protection Indorsed In tbo Re

seems to bo the policy best adapted to
the placing of our commercial marine

CURIOUS REASONING.
Freo-Trxtlpn Willing Tlmt ITorelcner *
Should IJnlld All Our Slilpn.
In view of the great number of
steamships now Eceking business and
the rale at which the shipyards of the
world are augmenting this number ,
there is no subject that demands less
attention from congress than that of
providing vessel room for our exports.
New York Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin.
Such Is the conclusion of a free-trade
writer after reviewing the maritime
situation with especial reference to the
proposed establishment of a new Dan
ish Hue of steamships to handle the
direct trade between United States and
Russian ports. Foreigners stand ready
lo flood us with cheap ships and cheap
er sailors ; therefore , why bother our
heads about American-built ships fly
ing the American flag ? It is an argu
ment as old as free trade itself ; an ar
gument to bring Joy to the hearts of
foreign shipowners anf incite them tea
a substantial recognition in the form
of sustained and Increasing advertising
patronage.
By the came token , why should any
consideration be shown lo any form of
American industry ? Why maintain
any American industries ? Why not
close all our mills , factories and work-
chops ? In view of the great number of
mills , factories and workshops in
Europe which stand ready to step right
In and take possession of this great
American market with their products
of cheap labor , there is , by a parity of
reasoning , "no subject that demands
less attention from congress than that
of providing" employment for Amer
ican labor and capital in manufactur
ing enterprises !
It so happens , unfortunately for free
trade newspapers which derive impor
tant revenues from foreign shipping in
terests , that the people of the United
States have decided exactly the con
trary ; that the American market shall
be defended and preserved for the ben
efit of the American people. This is
what is known as the American policy.
It has worked well , marvelously well ,
on land ; it will work equally well on
the sea if given a chance. Unpleasant
as it is to be compelled to contradict
the assertion of the free trade "Jour
nal of Commerce and Commercial Bul
letin , " the fact remains that in the
opinion of the people of this country
there is no subject that demands more
attention from congress than that of
providing vessel room under the Amer
ican Cag for our exports and cur im
ports.

If congress would pass a bill to give
the same protection to American ship

there will be profitable business for the

shall eventually have the three hun

Discussing n Dead Issnc.
On so recent a date as October 28
the Louisville Courier-Journal gravely
discusses Ihe question whether the
wool growers of the United States
have been benefited by the wool duties
of the Dingley law and whether there
ought to be any tariff at all on wool.
Of course the C.-J. reaches a negative
conclusion in both cases. Such a dis
cussion is time wasted. If there waa
one thing more than another that con
demned the Wilson lavin the eyes
of the American people , that one thing
was its free wool clause. The ques
tion is dead and buried. It will never
be resurrected. No party platform will
ever again advocate free trade in wool.
There may be honest differences of
opinion as to the amount of duty to
be levied upon imported wool for pro-
t'-tive purposes , but as to the main
question , whether wool should be pro
tected , it has been settled in the af
firmative once for all.
Germany's Cheap Labor.
Lower the tariff according to Demo
cratic ideas and American workingmen -
men will soon find the country flooded
with the productions of Germany's
cheap labor. Germany , notwithstand
ing the Dingley tariff , is actually forc
ing some of her productions into this
country because of the cheapness of
labor. Our tariff has not even stop
ped the sale of German sugar to
"
America. It comes In spite of all com-
petition. For the year ending June 30 ,
1S97 , the sugar exported from the Breslau -
lau district amounted to $298,909. The
price was then 1.923 cents a pound. It
is now sold at 1.SG9 cents for raw , in
addition to which the manufacturer
gets an export bounty.
This is a matter that should be con
sidered immediately by the workingmen -
men of this country. Buffalo News.

Tatty's Morning Glories.
"Please , mamma ! " persisted Patty
when the wise mother forbade her little
daughter planting morning-glories un
der the pantry window. "I won't lei
them grow into the window , or tangle
themselves in the blinds , or make any
body trouble. Truly , I will train them
every day. Please , mamma ! "
So Patty had her own way. Patty
was very fond of having her own way ,
It was one day in September that
Patty sat on the back steps dolefully
regarding a row of disgraceful morn
ing-glories that climbed into the pan
try window , tangled themselves in the
shutters and swung into every nooli
and corner where they were not
wanted.
"Haven't I told you as many as
sixty times you mustn't limb into that
window ? " scolded Patty. "Haven't I
trained you and twisted you and spent
hours and hours trying to teach you
to be good ? I thought mebbe it was
the sugar cookies , and the cook hasn't
made anything but gingerbread for a
week oh , dear ! "
A' vagrant breeze brushed past the
slender cords , shaking all the heart-
shapped leaves until , twinkling and
laughing in the sunshine , they seemed
to laugh at Patty.
"What makes morning-glories so
stubborn , anyway ? " asked Patty with
a deep sigh.
At this the morning-glories sobered
down directly and spoke quietly , so
quietly that Patty heard their voices
in the stillest places of her heart.
"Sometimes little girls are just as
stubborn as morning-glories. "
A Small Boy's Scheme.
A small boy who is not familiar with

mamma for a brief stay in the coun

picked up a wondrous store of aston
ishing experience. One day the farmer
smilingly said to his mother :
"Just ask your boy what he hid two
eggs in the stable for. " So , at the
very first opportunity , the mother said
to the six-year old :
"My , dear , what did you do with
those eggs you took from the hen
house ? "
"Oh , mamma , " replied the boy , "I
didn't want you to know about it. "
"Why , it's all right , " said mamma.
"I only want to know what niy boy did
with them. "
"I hid them in the stable , " said tha
little fellow.
'And what for ? "
' "Cause it's my scheme. "
"Your scheme ? And what is your
scheme ? "

Origin of the Cinderella Ii
The story of Cinderella apparently
owes its origin to an Egyptian legend.
Rhodope , a very beautiful maiden ,
lived during the reign of one of the
twelve kings of Egypt. One day she
went to bathe in a beautiful river , and
left her shoes , which were very small ,
on the bank thereof. An eagle pounced
down upon them , and bore one of them
off in his talons ; and , acting the part
of the fairy godmother , when flying
over Memphis , where the king was
staying , let it fall directly at his feet.
Its small size and beauty attracted the
attention of the sovereign , and he im
mediately despatched envoys to dis
cover its owner. Rhodope was eventu
ally found , and was carried to Mem
phis in triumph , where she became the
queen of King Asammeticus.
Ivcmnrlcablo Example of oiil Age.
Probably the most remarkable ex
ample of old age is furnished by
Thomas Parr of England. "The Old ,
Old , Very Old Man , " as John Taylor
calls him. When 80 years of age Parr
married his first wife , by whom he had
one son and one daughter. About this
time he was in the prime of his vigor
of mind and body. When Parr was 112
jcars of age his first wife died , and
ten years later he married a second
wife. For thirty years afterwards he
lived the life of a husbandman. At the
age of 130 years Parr used to thresh
aut the corn on the barn floor and he
lived the simple and abstemious life
3f a small farmer. At length the fame
jf the wonderful old man reached the
; ars of the second earl of Arundel , who
brought Parr in a litter by easy stages
to London In September , 1635. The
v/onderful vitality of the old man waa
the marvel of the age. Ho was pre
sented to the king and afterwards ex
hibited at the Queen's Head in the
Strand.
All these changes , however , had an
injurious effect on his health. He
missed the invigorating air of his na
tive Shropshire , and the constitution
which years seemed powerless to af
fect , gave way. before the noise and
excitement of London , and a super
abundance of rich diet , of which Parr
partook with his characteristic indif
ference to consequences.
The old man died in November , 1G33 ,
aged 152 , and was buried in Westminster
ster- Abbey , where an inscription re
cords the chief circumstances of his re
markable life , and mentions the fact
that he lived In the reigns of ten mon-
archs.
The niuslc.il Cat.
Judging by the shrill , unmelodious
"meaous" with which the feline race
makes known its temper , its wants
and its woes , one would not give the
ordinary house cat credit for possess
ing knowledge of even rag-time music ,
much less classical operas and era
torios. But it seems that Pussy's
voice is by no means indicative of her
tastes and mental acquirements , and If
in a musical program gotten up for
here benefit , you were to substitute
"How I Love My Lou" for the Tann-
hauser march or a chorus from
"Faust , " thinking she would never
know the difference , you would be
pretty apt to get yourself into trouble.
At least we have scientists' word to
that effect , and it Is never advisable to
contradict a scientist. And these
scientific investigators go still further ,
and maintain that although to uncul
tivated ears Pussy's wails are not par
ticularly pleasing and inspiring , they
are , nevertheless , replete with nlusical
quality , being given in perfect time
( the scientists here undoubtedly refer
to the number of beats to a measure
rather than to the divisions of the day
and night ) , and embellished with
scherzos , trills and crescendcs fit to
break your heart. And when it comes
to purring Pussy's tones are sweeter
than the softest lullaby.
Scientists may be right about the
purr , a soft , deep-toned , gentle hum
being often soothing to jagged nerves ,
but as to the caterwauling well ,
everybody to his taste. All things con
sidered , it seems quite probable that
somecats _ are more appreciative of our
music than we are of theirs. We have
it on good authority that several of
these feline musical prodigies are resi
dents of Chicago. One of them lives
In a fine house in North State street.
Her mistress is particularly fond of
her , and at the musicals which are
frequently given there Mrs. Pussy is
always given a chance to show off her
musical ability that is , so far as lis
tening and criticising are concerned.
This cat not only enjoys good music ,
it is claimed , but has her favorite airs ,
and as soon as the chords are struck
on the piano or guitar or uttered by
the human voice she manifests her
pleasure in various ways , such as rub
bing her soft fur against the perform
er , swaying her tail gracefully in ac
companiment and purring in joyful ap
preciation. The cat is a thoroughbred
Maltese. Her mistress declares that
when she was a tiny kitten so many
evidences of Pussy's musical talents
were apparent that it was deemed
proper to cultivate them. Her educa
tion has therefore received constant
and careful attention. The results , it
goes without saying , are exceedingly
satisfactory. Emma M. Wise.
The Oldest Family In the World.
About a dozen of the 400 barons in
the British house of lords date back
lo 1400 , the earliest being 1261. The
oldest family in the British Isles is the
Mar family of Scotland , 1093. The
Campbells of Argyle , to whom belongs
the present Duke of Argyll , began in
1190. Talleyrand dates from 1199 , Bis
marck from 1270 , the Grosvenor fam
ily , the Dukes of Westminster , 106G ;
the Austrian house of Hapsburg goes
back to 952 , and the house of Bourbon
to 864. The descendants of Mahomed ,
born 570 , are all registered carefully
and authoritatively in a book kept in
Mecca by the chief of the family. Little
or no doubt exists of the absolute au
thenticity of the long line of Mahom
ed's descendants. In China there are
sgany old families , also among the
Jews.
When it comes to pedigrees there is
one gentleman to whom the world
must lake off his hat as a great and
only none-such. This is the Mikado of
Japan. His place has bsen filled by
members of his family for more than
2,500 years. The present Mikado is
the one hundred and twenty-second of
the line. The first one was contempo

The World's Greatest Crop.
The average man if asked what Is
the most important crop of the world
would unhesitatingly say , "Wheat. "
This is true in this continent , but far
from the case in the world as a whole.
The first place must bs given the po
tato. Of all the staple crops of the
world the potato takes the first place ,
the annual crop being more than -1,000-
000,000 bushels , against 2,500,000,000
bushels of wheat and 2,600,000,000
bushels of corn. Of the total potato
crop Europe produces fully seven-
eighths , and one-half times as much
asher wheat , and all the cereals to
gether are but 50 per cent more.
