TIIE DEMOCRATIC DANCE TO BRITISH MUSIC
v, There is considerable agitation-in Great Britain for a re
' turn to something, like the British Navigation Laws which
were repealed January 1, 1850. Many of the British are con
vinced that the best way to insure their supremacy at sea
is to restore. the protective navigation laws. British com
petition li bad enough now, so far' as it affects our own
: shipping.- If England should legislate to protect her ship
; ping , while the United States did nothing, the result would
undoubtedly be the destruction of the American merchant
' marine. Even as it is, British vessels are carrying mare
American imports and ' exports than American vessels are

of the future could be built more cheaply in England than
in any other country. The British' free trade policy, adopted
three years before, .was the result of the agitation of the
Manchester textile manufacturers, captained by Cobden, whe
'had satisfied 1 themselves that they could produce 1 fabrics
cheaper than any other country and since they wanted free
foreign markets they saw the consistency of establishing ja
free market at home as a condition precedent But free tradf
is a thing of the past with Great Britain, and the "safeguard
ing of industries', act passed last year by the British Parlia-
.ment, writes a duty of 33133 per cent ad valorem on some
6,000 separate article of British manufacture. This is con-
siderably higher than any average ad valorem rate contem
plated in the tariff bill now pending in the Congress of the
'United States,, ?; v y. - v. y - j

commission the lowering or raising of rates; the express aric

the products of foreign countries.' . j
As a writer on the subject recently declared : "When
Jamey'G. Blaine stated in his reply to. William E. Gladstone
that, 'regardless of, consistency and regardless of expense''
Great Britain had always protected her ships" that is tc

Jocko was a bright-eyed little
monkey that Uncle Jeffeiy had
brought home for the twins. He
was a j wise-looking little animal
and Had cunning ways that made

-But their mother was not fond

him out . In the garage and saw
that be didn't bother 1 her. 5 As
for-their father he said nothing
about the matter at ail.
"I don't see what your trncle
meant by bringing that animal."
said Mrs. Winston. "He'a noth
ing but a nuisance. He Just eats
dp food and does nothing In re
turn." v ' - -
The i twins talked it over very
soberly. ''Mother. Is so business
like," sighed Paul. . "She thinks
yon shouldn't' have anything, or
do anything, unless It's useful.'
"I know,', said Pauline. "It we
could pust. show her that Jocko
could, bring something: in I have
an idea!" ' ;
;- It was because of. this Idea that

him many). advantages, including,
in most cases. ' after, a certain
cumber of years, a pension. He
has forfeited his ' priority rights
by quitting. The, priority rights
of the man who took bis job have
begun to , run. Jones wants bis
priority fights restored, before
resumlngbls Job. The railroads
do not want to have his priority
rights restored. They want him
to begin again at the foot of the
ladder, like a new man and they
have also promised the man who
took the job of Jones, and is now
at work, that he shall be retained

but you would be mistaken; you
may be assured that it is the story

Tou know, the profersor in this
story was saying, a frog jumps
readily enough when put Into
warm 'water; yet a frog can' tie
boiled without a movement If the
water is heated slowly enough. J
Yes, the professor went on,, hi
one experiment the water was

been boiled to death without no
ticing It. i
I Observe, rpntinned the profes
sor In this story, at every moment
the temperature of the water was
in no different contrast with the
temperature, a moment before.
The attention of the frog was
never directed to the tempera
ture of the water at all. So the
frog, concluded the professor, was
actually boiled to death without
being aware of the fact.
Now, kind reader,; perhaps you
st.H think thatj this story has
something to do with a frog and
its reactions to beating water;
but It is not; be assured that
this is a story of a man in a rut.
Moral: Don't be the frog that

slowly and don't be a man who
