PROTECTION FACTS
RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED UNDER
THE DINGLEY LAW.
Enormous Increase of the Business Of
the Telegraph and Telephone Com
panies Compared with Correspond
ing Period Ending Five Years Ago.
Time was when the telegraph mes
sage may have been considered a lux
ury. but for many years it has been a
necessity and is as much an indication
of prosperity or adverBity as the
weather vane is an indication of the
direction of the wind. The large busi
ness house must resort to the tele
graph many times a day, while the in
dividual knows the value of saving a
few hours, sometimes a few minutes,
in important transactions. The follow
ing table shows the receipts of the
Western Union Telegraph company for
the past fourteen fiscal years:
1889.. .$20,783,194 1896.. .$22,612,736
1890.. . 22,387,029 1897... 22,638,869

1895.. . 22,218,019 1902*.. 27,850,000
•Estimated.
It will be seen that up to 1893 there
was a constant increase. From 1893
to 1897 there was a decrease, while
from 1897 there has been not only a
recovery of the business lost during
the free trade Wilson-Gorman tariff,
but a very substantial increase. This
great increase during the operation of
the Dingley tariff, it must be remem
bered, has been gained in spite of an
enormous advance in telephone busi
ness. Besides the constantly increas
ing business of the Western Union
company there has been a proportion
ate increase in the business of the
Postal Telegraph company and over
railroad and private wires.
The increase in telephone business
can be seen from the following fig
ures of subscribers and employes since
1894:
Calendar

1894 .237,186 10,421

1901 .800,880 32,837
Average annual in
crease.138,883 6,385
Nearly five times the average annual
increase under the protective Dingley
tariff as under the free trade Wil
son-Gorman tariff. It will be inter
esting in this connection to compare
the annual number of telephone mes
sages in different countries. They
were as follows, according to the
latest statistics:
Austria-Hungary, 1899..., 116,724,879
Russia, 1898. 103,426,088
Germany, 1899. 540,324,386
France, 1898. 141,226,883
Great Britain, 1900. 639,476,448
United States, 1901.2,300,000,000
The United States does more tele
phoning than all the rest of the world
combined at a rate of from 5 to 10
cents a message. All this has been
made possible by the great prosperity
brought to the country by the Dingley
tariff.
A Serious Objection.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
concurs in the view lately expressed
by the American Economist “that if it
is lawful and constitutional for con
gress to appropriate money for the
relief of distress on the island of
Martinique, then it will be lawful and
constitutional for congress to relieve
distress on the island of Cuba in a
similar manner.” The Times-Demo
crat says:
‘There remains the constitutional
doubt whether the revenue of the
United States, collected by means of a
customs tax, can be given to a for
eign government. The Martinique
disaster offers the Republicans some
slight consolation. We are giving
the Martiniquans a half million dol
lars of our money because of the dis
aster to their island and a threatened
famine. May we not make the rebate
on Cuba a similar gift intended to
protect the island from a threatened
bankruptcy and great suffering and
distress among its peiple; in other
words, grant it as charity, as it really
is? In this way the donation would
be made as the beet sugar men in
sisted it ought to be made, out of the
federal treasury, at the expense of
the whole people, instead of at the
expense of a single industry.”
But there is one very serious objec
tion to the rebate or outright donation
plan that must not be lost sight of. It
would be of no advantage to the sugar
trust!
Congress and Cuba.
The winners of the victory in the
house are taunted with being in revolt
against party discipline, when the fact
is that military sponsors of a new
departure in economics were in revolt
against the decencies of the party.
Added to their offensive presence in
the affair was that of the Cuban junta,
dictating to the people of this country
what they shall do in a policy profound
ly affecting every American interest.
Added to their appearance in the affair
was its invasion by the resident of
New York who recently went to Cuba
for the first time In a quarter of a
century to be inaugurated president.
He has been an excellent professor of
languages, no doubt, and would have
been equally successful in music and
dancing if he had added those accom
plishments to his repertoire. But he
is not known among the masters of
economic science, nor even among its
students, nor yet among Its tyros. He
may make a good President of Cuba,
for ail that, but one thing is sure—he
cannot appear in the dual character of
President of that Republic and econo
mic manager of this.
The people are just getting a trifle
fatigued with Cuba. The Republican
party shows signs of surfeit therewith.
We have had Cuba for three meals a
day since 1898. We were thrown Into
spasms of sympathy and rage by an
artfully overdrawn appeal to our sym
pathies, and have been involved in
difficulties and expenses of which the
next three generations will not see
the end. It is time to talk about some
thing else, time to take account of
stock at home and see what is doing.
—San Francisco Call.
INCREASED FREE-TRADE.
It Is Being Accomplished Under the
Dingley Tariff.
It would be supposed from the de
nunciation of the Dingley tariff that
it taxes everything imported, but the
truth is that over one-half of the ar
ticles imported are on the free list
and nearly one-half of import values
come in free of duty. For the month
of Apii. the dutiable imports
amounted to $42,070,313. For the
same month the imports that paid no
customs duty amounted to $33,752,
873. That is a pretty big slice of free
trade.
For the period of ten months end
ing with April, the dutiable imports
aggregated $422,626,741. Admitted
free, $331,890,984. Isn't 331 millions
in ten months free of duty rather a
startling protest against the partisan
outcry about a “Chinese wall” shut
ting out foreign products?
There Is another and significant
phase of this economic condition that
is worthy of attention. The increase
of dutiable imports for the ten
months’ period was $22,743,452. For
the same period the increase of non
durable imports—foreign products
that paid no tax—amounted to $55,
649.46—or more than double the in
crease of the Imports that paid duty
under the Dingley tariff. If that isn’t
rushing on toward freb-trade, the dic
tionary is unable to define the proc
ess. Meanwhile the country Is un
precedentedly prosperous. Our Dem
ocratic friends will find hard sledding
trying to work up popular sentiment
for the repeal of the protective tariff.
Our imports, which amounted for the
twelve months ending with April,
1897, to $675,740,940, under the Demo
cratic tariff, mounted up under the
Republican tariff for the correspond
ing period ending with April 1902, to
$901,565,085, an increase of $223,824,
145. These figures are official and
form their own comment.—Burling
ton (Iowa) Hawkeye.
Will It Come to This?
Be Calm.
At the present time there seems to
be some difference of opinion as to
what attitude a Republican ought to
take on the tariff, whether he ought to
be proud of the American policy which
was so strongly demanded in 1896 and
the return to which made prosperity
so abounding in 1900 that even the
Democratic party did not dare to re
solve against it. But it is best to sus
pend judgment for the present. This
is a time of unsettlement and high
prices. April was a bad month. It
looked as if it was the first month of
a protracted spring drouth. Business
began to feel panicky on account of it.
But the rains came and conditions are
going back to the normal. The people
are getting over their scare. They are
becoming more calm. Fortunate is the
man who can contain himself during
times of panics or incipient panics.
There is no good reason why any man
should change his view’ on the tariff.
!t is just as good a thing now as it
was in 1892 or 1896 or 1900. Simply
because conditions have changed a lit
tle industrially is no reason for imme
liately modifying one’s views on a car
dinal principle.
The idea of ripping everything up
every time a little discouragement
overtakes business conditions, is really
a very detrimental idea. In times of
stress one should learn to suspend
judgment.—Cedar Rapids Republican.
Protection From Whom?
A Democratic exchange says: “Now
we want protection from our indus
tries.” It speaks from a partisan
standpoint. The unexampled prosper
ity of the country means disaster for
the Democratic party. But then wo
want protection from that party
much worse than “we want protection
from our industries.”—Eenton (111.)
Republican.
Demonstrated.
The value of the Dingley law has
been demonstrated, and there is not
the slightest evidence that the time
bar, yet arrived to change any of its
provlstoas.—St. Louis Globe-Demo
orat.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON II. JULY 13: EXODUS 20:
l-l I —THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Golden Text—“Thou Shalt Love the
Lord Tiiy God with All Thy Heart'*
— Luke 10:37—Incident* of the Journey
to Sinai.
I. Introductory. Two New Lessons In
Trust.—Ex. 17. 18. The first lesson In
God's wilderness training school was one
of trust, taught by the manna. God now
thought the IsraelitesTuith strong enough
to lead them away from the borderland
of Sin, eastward, deeper Into the desert.
But alas! their trust was still weak. Aft
er two stages (Num. 33: 12, 13), which
brought them near to Sinai, their water
supply gave out, and they were almost
ready to stone Moses In their despair. The
great leader would not work the miracle
before the threatening throng, but took
some of the elders tor witnesses, and went
on ahead of the march to a great rock
in Mt. Horeb. This rock he named Meri
bah (strife), because of the conduct of the
people. There God manifested his pres
ence; and Moses, taking, very fittingly,
the staff with whieh he had worked water
miracles In Egypt and at the Rod Sea.
smote the rock, from which a refreshing
stream Immediately Issued.
The Second Lesson In Trust.—The peo
ple's faith, that must have been strength
ened by this new lesson In trust, was im
mediately put to a severe test. They
had reached Rephldim, which Is probably
the modern Wady Felran, the most fer
tile oasis In the entire district. Here tne
desert tribe of Amalekltes made a fierce
attack upon the Invading host. It was the
Israelites' first battle. Would this nation
of slaves stand their ground? Moses took
his position on the hill, seven hundred
feet high, now called Jebel Tahuneh,
overlooking the valley. In a passion of
entreaty, he held up to heaven the rod.
symbol of God's frequent mercies. The
great leader had already discovered In
Joshua a worthy assistant, and Joshua
commanded the chosen men. selected for
the battle. It was observed that when,
for weariness, Moses' hands sank down,
the Amalekites prevailed, but when he
lifted them to heaven. Israel prevailed;
therefore Aaron, and Hur (Miriam’s hus
band), supported his arms on either side,
and thus became, for all succeeding ages,
types of modest, faithful assistants. By
sunset the desert tribes were thoroughly
defeated; and to commemorate this sec
ond lesson In trust Moses reared an altar,
which he named Jehovah-nlssi, The Lord
Is my banner.
II. How the Law was Given.—Ex. 19.
It was now three months after the cross
ing of the Red feea. This momentous
event, unparalleled in history till Christ
came, whs prepared ior by three days of
purification. A cordon was drawn about
the sacred mountain, that the people
might not touch it. The awful voice of
Jehovah summoned Moses upon the
heights.
In the midst of these stupendous scenes,
Moses was commanded by God to address
the people with the reminder. “How I
bare you on eagles' wings, and brought
you unto myself.’’ calling to mind the
story of their great deliverance. It was
this God. so powerful and gracious, that
demanded their allegiance. With one
voice the people took the oath of alle
giance, "All that the Lord hath spoken
we will do,” Moses reported these words
to the Lord, and the way was open for
the proclaiming of the law of duty.
III. The Authority for the Law—Ex.
20: 1, 2. 1. “And God spake all these
words.” This supreme law is Issued by
the supreme authority. The divine au
thorship of the commandments is proved
by their astonishing unlikeness to any
thing man has ever written. There is
nothing comparable to them in all the lit
erature of Egypt, from which Moses and
his people had come. Moody tells about
an infidel who was converted by perceiv
ing how impossible it is that Moses could
have originated this unparalleled and ma
jestic code. For more than three thou
sand years it has been the great corner
stone of the world's law, and it is as true
now as it was In the days ot Moses.
2. “I am the Lord thy God. which have
brought thee out of the land of Egypti
out of the house of bondage.” God rests
his authority on his benefits. “How do
you know there Is a God?” some one
asked an Arab. He answered, “How do
I know whether a man or a camel passed
my tent last night?” Everywhere we can
see the footprints of a loving Father. Bo
cause God had led the Israelites thus far,
he had the right to prescribe laws for
their future.
IV. The First Commandment. The
Duty of Supreme Service of God.—V. 3.
What Is Forbidden? 3. “Thou shalt have
no other gods before me.” That Is, “in
addition to me, in my presence.” The
first commandment forbids Idolatry,
which consists In loving anything or any
one more than God. It requires whole
hearted service of God, and especially the
sincere worship which Is at the basis of
all service. It forbids heart Idols, Idols
of wealth or ambition or vanity or fash
ion, as well as Idols made of wood and
Why is Idolatry Forbidden? Because
the Israelites had lived for centuries In
idolatrous Egype. Because they were
bound for another idolatrous country. Be
cause Idolatry was to be their great temp
tation through all their history. Because
there is only one God. Because he de
serves our supreme devotion. Because
whoever glv<» him a second place soon
comes to give him no place at all. The
Israelites proved this, time and again.
V. The Duty of Pure Worship —What
Is Forbidden? 4. " Thou shalt not make
unto thee any graven image.” This does
not forbid painting and sculpture, for the
Hebrews themselves were commanded to
place golden cherubim in the very holy
of holies. That is what is forbidden
worship of God under any material Im
age. When the Israelites, soon after this,
made the golden calf, they broke the sec
ond commandment. Indeed, though they
called the calf a symbol of the one God,
they had really broken the first com
mandment in their hearts, or they would
never have set up the idol.
How Can We Obey? (1) We must not
allow any material thing, such as money,
fine clothes, costly houses, or physical
beauty, to come between us and God. (2)
We must hold exalted thoughts of God
and Christ. Farrar teaches that this com
mandment is broken by all that sot up.
In art or theology or even in their own
minds, false ideals of the Divine Being.
(3) The Hebrews were in no danger of
worshiping the golden cherubim In the
holy of holies, because between them
flashed out the awful Phekinah. So In our
day the clear consciousness of a present
Cerator will save us from undue devotion
to any created and material thing.

ORGANIZED “INFERNO CLUB."
Statesman at Washington Form a
Unique Assemblage.
Senator Depew, Senator Burrows
and a number of other statesmen who
like to have a good time have organ
ized the “Inferno club.” It meets
daily in the restaurant at noon and its
sessions are described as hair raising.
The organization is an outgrowth of
the debate on the Philippine bill. The
members of the club say they have
heard such horribly harrowing stories
of the atrocities committed by the
American soldiers told by the oppon
ents of the measure that they secure
no satisfaction in the articles printed
in newspapers because they are so un
exciting and dull, so the club was
formed in order to supply this defi
ciency. Each day some member of
the club tells a blood-and-thunder
story, which he dresses up in the
fiercest language at his command.
Senator Depew so far bears the palm,
as he related to the members the nar
rative of a railroad ride during which
took place a robbery, a murder, a sui
cide and a wreck. Innumerable peo
ple were killed and there was more
blood shed than has been Bhed in the
Samar campaign.
Depew's Automobile Face.
Senator Depew is rapidly acquiring
the automobile face. He went spin
ning up the avenue to the capitol yes
terday in a machine of the latest cut
with Mrs. Depew, but it was plain to
see that he did not like his position of
chauffeur any too well. He had many
narrow escapes from street cars and
rehicles and his phiz wore a sort of
'Well, what’s going to happen next?”
look. Mr. Depew is nevertheless a
confirmed automobilist. So deeply
does the borseles carriage idea perme
ate him that the other day in discuss
ing the omnibus claims bill he refer
red to it as the automobile claims
bill. When his attention was called
to the slip he replied: “Only an ante
diluvian would call it an omnibus bill
in these days of improved vehicles.
His Qualifications.
He was pleading his cause earnest
ly
“I am wealthy,” he said, "and could
make ample provision for you.”
She nodded and checked one point
off on her fingers.
“I have had experience with the
world,” he continued.
She checked off another point.
“I have passed the frivolous point,”
he went on, “and I have the steadfast
ness, the age and the wisdom to guard
and guide you well."
“The points you make are strong
ones,” she said, “but they lead unde
vtatingly to the conclusion that you
would make an excellent father ft»i
me. You have all the necessary quali
fications, but just now I am looking
for a husband.”
What She Would Say.
They wore seated on the sofa in the
parlor. His false, curling mustache
was very near to the painted roses
on her cheeks. He was doubtful,
after all, whether notwithstanding the
innumerable vows of undying devo
tion that had passed between them, he
really loved her with the twenty-twc
carat, ten-ton power that he ought to,
If he was to regard her as his future
wife, and he wondered how he could
break the news gently. So in a very
low voice he said:
“What would you say, darling if 1
should tell you that you can never be
mine?’’
“I should say, pet," she answered,
“that I’ve got a nice bundle of youi
letters that would help to make it
expensive for you.”

Official—It is too true, madam. He
was killed instantly, and his head and
limbs so badly lacerated that all we
cduld recover of him was his trunk.
Madam—His trunk? Did he have
his trunk with him? The treacherous

we would suggest that a trial of De
fiance Cold Water Starch be made at
once. Not alone because It is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be
superior to any other brand, but be
cause each 10c package contains
16 ozs., while all the other kinds con
tain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that
the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality and
quantity must win.

his conscience.—Schiller.

most distressing cases of inflammation
and ulceration of the ovaries and womb.
I have known that doctors used Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound when everything else failed
with their patients. I have advised my
patients and friends to use it and have
yet to hear of its first failure to cure.
“ Four years ago I had falling of the
womb from straining in lifting a heavy
patient, and knowing of the value of
your Compound I began to use it at
once, and in 6lx weeks I was well once
more, and have had no trouble since.
I am most pleased to have had an oppor
tunity to say a few words in praise of
your Vegetable Compound, and shall
take every occasion to recommend it.”—
