MUST BE NATIONAL
GENUINE PROTECTION IS THAT
OR IT IS NOTHING
The Doctrine Is One of Broad and
General Application and Must Not
Be Made an Instrument of Favorit
ism to Special Sections or Interests.
The article, “Protection a National
Doctrine,” in "Gunton’s Magazine” for
December, is worthy of thoughtful
perusal by all who are in search of
information and argument relative to
protection, its aims, its scope and its
effects upon the material prosperity
of the people of this country. In this
presentment of the subject Prof. Gun
ton has completely succeeded In dem
onstrating alike the fallacy and the
folly of considering protection as an
instrument of favoritism to special
sections or interests. The doctrine,
he urges, must be one of broad and
general application to the nation as
a whole, to all industries, all inter
ests. It is either that or it is nothing.
It will fall and deserves to fail. Ex
actly in point is the extract from a
recent address by Gen. William F.
Draper, the head of the great textile
machinery plant at Hopedale, Mass.,
a distinguished business man, a cap
tain of industry, a clear thinker and
forceful writer on economic subjects.
Well and truly Gen. Draper declares:
“When the Republican party ceases
to be a Protectionist party, it will be
beaten, and deserves to be, as, if the
people wish to try another free trade
experiment the Democratic party is
the proper ono to conduct It.”
And It will be so. Just as surely as
the Republican party deserts the bed
rock of its economic faith, Just as
surely as it proceeds to undermine
protection, either through special
tariff legislation at th,e behest of cer
tain sectional interests which clamor
for free raw materials, or through a
system of swapping trade privileges
whereby one industry is arrayed
against another industry and a large
degree of foreign competition is bar
gained for, Just so surely will the Re
publican party ride to a fall. No
political party can retain public con
fidence for any length of time after it
has begun to exhibit the worst of all
party weaknesses—that of distrust in
the soundness of its own cardinal
faith.
Against the folly and the fallacy of
free raw materials and special treat
ies Prof. Gunton’s guns are double
shotted and accurately trained. New
England “small talk” and selfishness
come in for some effective broadsides,
and so does the shortsighted and
short witted policy of forcing our
products upon other countries by
means of special trade privileges in
stead of on the sound and lasting
basis of superior excellence or great
er cheapness, while at the same time
showing gross favoritism and unfair
ness toward certain industries select
ed for slaughter in order that certain
other industries may have an unjust
advantage.
1902, RECORD BREAKER.
Extraordinary Showing of Prosperity
for the Year Just Closed.
With this, our last number of the
year 1902, we w'ould briefly call at
tention to the year’s record of un
paralleled progress and prosperity. In
spite of the great coal strike, the
result of which is still serious, we
have passed through a year of busi
ness activity, of commercial expan
sion, of trade movements and both
individual and national success In
production and earnings and conse
quent enjoyment of the necessaries
and comfortB and luxuries of life, such
as was never before known.
Our almost record breaking crops
will all be marketed at good prices.
Our iron and steel production has
been the largest In our history, our
pig iron output reaching 18,000,000
tons, almost three times that of 1894.
Our railway earnings have surpass
ed all previous years. Our bank
clearings have again broken the rec
ord.
Our postal, insurance, telegraph and
telephone business have been larger
than ever before.
Our Imports for the first time In our
history will approximate $1,000,00©,
000, while our exports, though not
quite equal to one or two preceding
years, owing to the failure of last
year’s corn crop and the extraordi
nary home demand for manufactures,
are yet most satisfactory.
We have earned more, lived bet
ter and saved more than ever before
in our history.
It has been the merriest Christmas
and will be the happiest New Year
that was ever enjoyed by any people
on earth.
Not all are quite happy, for the mil
lennium has not yet come. The hand
ful of antis are discouraged and dis
heartened, while the tariff smashers*
see no hopes of a materialization of
their “ideas.” And yet even these mal
contents and pessimists know that
they are better off In every material
way than they ever were before.
it is the fifth full successive year
that we have enjoyed this constantly
Increasing prosperity. It dates from
the going into operation ot tne Ding
ley tariff law.' With every laborer
employed full timo at larger and
larger wages, has eomc Increased de
mands for our varied products, even
greater than can be supplied or trans
ported.
What a tariff lesson it is, to oe
sure! No need to read Adam Smltn
or John Stuart Mill. No need of tar
iff commissions or hearings before the
i WftJ B and Means committee, or com
^ mcrcla! *.* mwentlosc or lengthy es

Each man's bank book tells the
whole story, and there never before
were so many bank books with such
large balances as now. Never before
were .so many millions sent home to
the old countries by those who have
come to make their home here in this
land of work and wages. This very
fact alone disproves the statements
that cost of living has increased more
than wages. Millions upon millions
of increased wages have been granted
during the last two months, added to
the many increases of recent years.
And happily for all, we have decided
to let well enough alone for two or
three years at the least.—American

THE COAL DUTY.
Good Reasons Why the Tariff on An
thracite Should Not Be Removed.
In connection with President Roose
velt’s recommendation that the duty
on anthracite coal be summarily
abolished the following communica
tion from Capt. William W. Bates, an
eminent authority on all matters per
taining to the American merchant
marine, should be found both perti
nent and instructive:
“Editor The American Economist:
It has been stated that one reason for
putting the duty on coal, such as
shipped from England to California,
was that it was carried by returning
ships in the grain trade at ballast
rates, and unfairly competed with
the coal produced by our Pacific
states. But we should add to this
that the British coal from its first ex
portation has been monopolized in
carriage by British ships through the
discrimination policy of british under
writers. Insurance on this coal to be
carried by American ships would
cact greatly in excess of the rate by
British ships, if such insurance could
bo obtained at all at Lloyds. The
object of this discrimination was pro
tection of the British ship. To take
off the duty of sixty-seven cents per
ton would add somewhat to this pro
tection by raising the freight. Now
that the British ship needs protection
more than ever, and we have none in
this coal trade, and we are great
friends of the British, shall we not
help them?
“William W. Bates.’*
It would appear that In urging the
removal of the duty on anthracite
coal the President acted without due
consideration of two important facts:
First, that the duty of sixty-seven
cents per ton on Welsh anthracite
arriving at Pacific coast ports as bal
last was at the time the Dingley tar
iff was passed regarded as necessary
for the proper protection of the coal
producing interests of the Pacific
coast. That protection is as neces
sary now as it was five and a half
years ago, and iti removal would un
doubtedly be injurious to the coal
mining industry of the Pacific coast
states. Being brought over as ballast
the delivery of Welsh coal involved
practically r.o cost of transportation.
It could therefore be sold at so low a
price as to compete injuriously with
domestic coal. Hence the imposition
of the duty. Even more than it was
five and a half years ago that duty is
to-day justifiable and necessary, for
under its protection coal mining
operations have greatly increased on
the Pacific coast, until at this time
the industry employs many millions of
capital and pays wages to many thou
sands of men.
Second, as so clearly shown by
Capt. Bates, the removal of the duty
would amount to a direct gift or sub
sidy to the British ship owner, who
would be thereby enabled to add at
least a part of the sixty-seven cents
a ton to his freight charges and still
sell tlie coal at a lower price than is
at present possible. We have done
much by unwise navigation laws and
regulations to crush out our shipping
and promote the shipping interests
of other countries, but it would seem
to be straining matters a little too far
to put up still another bar against
domestic shipping and then to ask the
coal producers of the Pacific coast to
pay the cost.
The two reasons cited, to say noth
ing of the unwisdom of using the
tariff as a factor in labor disputes,
would seem to be sufficient to dis
suade Congress from concurring in
the recommendation of the repeal of
the duty on anthracite coal.

t-ESSON V.. FEB. 1; ACTS 17: 22-34
—PAUL AT ATHENS.
Golden Text—“He Preached Unto
Them Jesus and the Resurrection”
—Acts 17: 18—Paul's Address to the
Athenian Leaders.
Scene I. Paul on the Way to Athens.—
Vs. 13-15. In Lesson III. we left Paul
In Berea of Macedonia, where his preach
ing of the gospel was having considerable
success. But after some weeks the Jews
of Thessalonica heard of what was go
ing on in Berea, only fifty miles away,
and they immediately Incited a persecu
tion there as they had in their own city.
Paul's friends hastened him away, se
cretly.
Scene II. What Paul Saw in Athens.—
V. 16. Athens w'as one of the three most
influential cities the world has ever
known. As Paul walked around the city
he found it full of idols. It was tilled
with the statues of the gods.
Scene III. Paul Discussing with ths
Jews and Philosophers of Athens.—Vs
17, 18. As usual, Paul began to preach
the gospel In the synagogues on the Sab
bath. discussing and arguing with the
Jews and the devout proselytes. Then
he went Into the market-place and talked
with any one willing to listen.
Scene IV. Paul Brought before the
Areopagus.—Vs. 19-21. After a time Paul
was invited to speak more formally be
fore the philosophers and the authorities
of the city.
Scene V. Paul’s Address before the
Athenian Leaders.—V's. 22-31. 22. "Then
Paul stood in the midst of" (the Council
or Court of) "Mars' hill" (the Areo
pagus).
Subject: The True God, and Our Rela
tions to Him.
I. The T rue God, the Creator.—\ s. 23
25. 23. "As I passed by,” or “along."
In his wanderings around the city. "And
beheld your devotions." Not acts of wor
ship, but objects of worship, such ns
temples, altars, Images. "I found an
altar ... to the Unknown God,” or
"an unknown god." As In heathen coun
tries now, they then sacrificed to gods
to propitiate them, and keep them from
sending trouble upon them. "Whom"
(or what) "therefore ye ignorantly wor
ship." Rather, whom ye worship, not
knowing his name and attributes and na
ture. "Him declare l unto you." or
better, "this set I forth unto you.”
24. "God that made the world."
Science, by its discoveries, has proved
beyond a doubt the unity of God. "Lord
of heaven and earth." In this sentence
shines wisdom, power, omnipresence,
goodness, authority. Great duties and
great privileges grow out of this truth.
"Dwelleth not In temples made with
hands." though as beautiful as those
they saw around them. In the temple of
man's heart he dwelleth by his Holy
Spirit.
25. "Neither in worshiped with men's
hands," as idols were worshiped. God
can be worshiped only in spirit and In
truth, by the service of the heart. He
wants not help, but love.
U. The True God; the God of All Na
tions.—V. 20. “And hath made of one
blood.” God has made of one ancestor,
or one source, or one family, “all na
tions of men." All men, therefore, are
brethren.
HI. The True God; the Father and
Friend of All.—Vs. 27. 28 . 27. "That they
should seek the Lord." Rather "God,"
which is the best reading. "Might feel
after him. and ilnd him." Paul here de
Ilnes the actual position not only of
idolatry, but of the modern systems of
religion, such as rationalism, spiritual
ism, so far as it is a religion, and all'
systems that leave out Christ and an
inspired Bible. "Not far from every one
of us." He is only waiting for us to
open our eyes that we may see and
know him.
28. "For In him we live, and move,
and have our being." This is true both
of our natural and of our spiritual life.
He is the source of life; everything
around us is the gift of God.
IV. The True God; the Duties We Owe
Him.—Vs. 29. 30. 29. "Forasmuch then."
etc. Tile argument is that we being
spiritual, personal beings, with wills and
minds and moral natures. It is Impossible
that the author of our being should be
"like unto gold, or silver, or stone,"
formed by his own offspring.
30. "And" (r. v.. "therefore,” because
we are his offspring) "the times of tills
ignorance God winked at," shut his eyes
to, did not punish with the severity
idolatry deserved. Sins committed in
ignorance are different from those com
mitted against light and conscience.
They do not so harden the soul against
God and good. "But now.” Since Christ
has come with new light, new motives,
a new message from God. “Commandeth
all men everywhere to repent." To tern
from their sins, and live as children of
a holy God should live.
v. A Strong Motive for Performing
These Duties.—V. 31. “Because he hath
appointed a day.” One of the times
God had before determined (v. 26). “Judge
the world in righteousness." Every de
cision will be absolutely right and cor
rect. “By man whom he hath ordained."
The man Jesus Christ, whom God had
ordained as the Savior of all who will
believe, and the judge of all the dis
obedient. "Hath given assurance," or
confirmation. “In that he hath raised
him from the dead." The resurrection of
Christ brought assurance of the Judg
ment of the world by Christ, because (1)
it proved Christ's claim that he was the
Son of God. (2) It proved that his teach
ing was true, a part of which was that
lie should Judge the world. (3) It proved
the resurrection of the dead and a life
beyond the grave, without which there
;ould be no judgment in the world to
pome.
Scene VI. The Various Effects of Paul's
Discourse.—Vs. 32-34.
1. 32. “Some mocked." Paul's teach
ngs were contrary both to their philoso
phy and their lives, and the easiest way
to treat them was to sneer at them as
;he strange vagaries of a man out of his
pilnd.
2. Some delayed a decision. “We will
hear thee again," putting off thtir de
cision. like Felix, to a more convenient
sea son.
33. "So Paul departed from among
them."
3. 34. "Certain men . .•. believed
. . Dionysius the Areopaglte.” A
member of the court of Mars’ Hill. and.
hence, a prominent and learned man.
“A woman named Damaris.” For what
she was noted is unknown, but she must
lu.ve been a woman of distinction and
power.
Put Away Discouragement.
The sad, discouraged Christian who
*eels his shortcomings and the de
generacy of the times in which he
'Ives so overwhelmingly as to take
away his peace and joy needs to get
out into God's pure air ou some errar.e

MYSTERY IN HIS RECEPTION.
Diplomat Puzzled at the Greeting A*>
corded to Him.
Tbo Hon. Addison C. Harris of In
dianapolis, ex-Minister to Austria, re
lated an interesting experience from
the campaign of 1900 a few evenings
ago at the New Willard. He had been
inivted to address a political meeting
one afternoon at Fort Wayne. Alight
ing from the train he found himself in
the center of a galaxy of expectant
ycung men and women, wearing
badges marked “Reception Commit
tee.” Appreciating the supposed com
pliment. he advanced, extending his
hand, and was' greeted enthusiastic
ally and Invited to go right along to
the “church.” He looked confused,
and said he was not aware that he
was to go to any church.
“Why, aren’t you the minister?” in
quired one of the young ladies, naive
ly
“Yes, I am a minister,” said Mr.
Harris, recalling his diplomatic post,
“but I hadn’t expected to go to any
church,” he continued s'owly, looking
puzzled,
“Perhaps you would prefer to go
to Sister Smith’s,” said another young
lady.
“I don’t know Sister Smith,” re
plied Mr. Harris. “I was under, the
impression that I would go directly
to the rink, where I am to deliver a
Republican speech this afternoon.”
“Oh!” exclaimed a chorus of femi
nine voices, and the mystery was then
cleared up by the explanation that
the reception committee was at the
train to meet a Baptist minister who
wbb expected to address an assembly
of that uenominatlon.—Washington

A COLD-HEARTED KING.
Characteristic Remark Credited to
Louis XV of France.
In the old Court of France, gam
bling at cards was fashionable, except
wnen a particularly serious monarch
was on the throne. Louis XIV played
constantly; and there are plenty of
pictures of him as he sat among the
ladies who bestowed their favors
upon him and his courtiers, chatting
at one moment and hauling in his
winnings at the next. There was
fharm in Louis XIV even when he
was gambling, but his despicable suc
cessor seems to have carried to the
gaming table all the cruel and selfish
coldness which characterized him in
other aspects of his life. While one
evening he was playing, M. de Chau
velin, one of the courtiers, was seized
with a fit of apoplexy. Some one ex
claimed, “M. de Chauveiin is ill.” "ill,”
said the kind, coldly turning round
and looking at him. “He is dead;
take him away. Spades are trumps,
gentlemen.”
FLOWERS LOVE AND HATE.
Claim That They Are Endowed With
Passions Like Human Beings.
According to a French scientist,
flowers are endowed with passions
like human beings, and there are few
among them which cannot love and
hate fervently,
“They have their sympathies and
antipathies,” he explains, “and if we
study them closely we can easily find
them out. Roses are passionately
fond of some flowers, and flourish
when near them. On the other hand,
they speedily wither when placed near
other flowers, and we must infer that
it is because the latter are not con
genial to them. Heliotropes and vio
lets have a lively sympathy for each
other, and in like manner there seems
to be a warm friendship between pan
sies and carnations.”
“If it can be proved that flowers
can love and hate,” says a German
writer, commenting on this statement,
‘it ought not to be difficult to prove
that they have souls.”

A Remarkable City.
One of the most remarkable cities
m the world is Kelburg, near Cra
cow, Poland, for, besides being situ
ated underground, it is excavated en
tirely in rock salt. The inhabitants,
to the number of over 3,000, are of
course workers in the famous sail
mines, and ail the streets and houses
are of the purest white imaginable.
One of the most famous features of
the city is the cathedral, carved in
salt and lit with electric light, and
when the late Czar Alexander visited
it eleven years ago he was so fasci
nated with the magnificent effect of1
the light upon the crystal walls that
he presented the cathedral with a '
jeweled altar cross. Such a thing as
infectious disease is unknown in Kel- I
mrg—in fact, the majority of the iu j
habitants die of old age.

however, toward preventing their

It is a well recognized fact that cer

disease germs and propagate same;
that of all coverings wall paper Is
tho most likely to hold the germa of

There are well authenticated cases
where smallpox, scarlet fever and other
germs have lain dormant for years,
and have attacked persons afterward
when the paper was removed.
KalsomlneB stuck on the wall with

than wall paper with its vegetable

Alabastlne Is recommended gener

a disinfectant, presents a perfectly
hard surface, is manufactured from
a cement base, and does not furnish a
lodgment ground for disease germs.
Years ago these matters received
