Foreign ships will have a chance to fight American , ships operated by our government for a 1 few years, r V and on a market of rising freight rates, j They willy .- have a chance to cut rates in the hope of so impover ishing our Uncle Sam as to cause him to quit in dis- . , gust. Will they succeed? 1 - .. "And during that period of government operation of a vast fleet of merchant ships, we expect that a real, fully alive, discriminating import duty and ton nage dues policy will be enacted, that , will come into k full effect at the end of two or three years. "In shorty the defeat of the ship subsidy, bill, we ' believe , clears the decks for the real American policy, , ( at once effective, economical and enduring." ' : , r ;( .U-Americani Economist. . The American Economist, which is the official organ of the American Protective Tariff League, has, in the same issue in which the above clipping appears, March 9th, a long article showing that if a bill had been before the Senate pro posing discriminating duties in favor of i American bottoms, instead of the one for snip subsidies, it would have been " brought to a vote, and passed, ' ' The American Economist quotes several Democratic Sen ators as in favor of such a measure. In his speech of acceptance in 1896, William McKinley said: - n "" - .:.. . The declaration in the Republican platform in favor of the upbuilding of our merchant marine has - -, rnyr hearty j approval. The policy of discriminating dutieslnfavor of our shipping, which privilege they , rhad in the early days of our history, should again be v ' promptly-adopted by Congress and vigorously support ed until our prestige and supremacy on the seas is i fully, attained.

Alexander Conquers. Having allowed the horse to tire himself out, Alexander '-reined in and returned safely King Philip was so proud and pleased with his son that he embraced him when he alighted,- and kissing him on the forehead said, "My son. seek a kingdom more worthy of thee, ; for Macedom Is below thy merit. " This Alexander did. At the early age of 16 he put down a rising In Greece; while his father was absent. Later he crossed from Greece to' Asia Minor. Conquering the country, he pressed on to Persia and Egypt, subduing each in turn. In every battle Baccepha lus bore his master to victory. One day, however, King Alex ander plunged recklessly into the midst of 1 his foes. Buccephalus saw the danger," and, though bleeding' to death from many wounds, he carried, his master safety away from his enemies, the gallant horse fell and died. . I THE SHORT STORY, JR.

But where there are independ ent growers willing to sell or con tract for what they can get, and even small associations of grow ers acting in the same way,nd where there are canners who will buy at low prices, and in turn contract the canned or packs? product at ruinous prices, then the managers of the larger can neries, and the j larger packers, must be hampered They must meet the prices or the small canneries and packers for their pack, and attempt to keep down the prices of thf? grow ers, against the interests cf pack ers and growers alise Or they must pay living piices to the growers, and nava the ad ditional expense of waiting till the market has absorbed the cheaper packs.

He was wild and gay, headstrong and unamenable to reason. A time went on his chances of evr amounting to anything seemed to grow slimmer.

In the meantime, since the chance seemed remote, Andrew studied law and entered politics.: At the age of 30 he was appointed sena tor' from Tennessee. Fourteen' years later the War of .1812 broke and the long-de ferred chance came to Andrew Jackson. He had receive no military schooling, but he wian- aged to obtain command of the Department of the South. It is hardly necessary to describe again the battle of New Orleans, that unprecedented of military feats, when Jackson with a handful of frontiersmen, defeated 12.000 Bri tish veterans under one of the ablest generals of the time and, with an American loss of only eleht killed, left 2600 of the en emy, dead on the field ? of battle. That the battle was fought un wittingly after peace had actually been signed took nothing from th glory of the victory or popu lar, idolatry for , the American commander. ' That victory elevated him . to the presidency under a newly or ganized political combination, called for the first time the Dem ocratic party. ; Andrew Jackson also established what is known as the "spoils system" in American politics, giving away government appointments to his political friends and supporters alone. It was said that throughout his life he acted alwavs on two max ims, which he' himself . framed "Give up no friend to win an en emy" and "Be strong with your friends and then you can defy your enemies." 1 - It was of this sturdy material and rough loyalty that bier men were formed In the early days of the republic. , , . " POOR POLICY, JOHN BULL! Constitutionally, England is en tirely within her rights in turning her West Indian possessions into vast liquor. warehouses and en couraging the operations of a fleet of whiskey tankers just outside the United States three-mile limit Commercially, both the British government and Its nationals are picking np a piece of ready money by cooperating ; with the I law breakers on American soil; the government in the shape of excise duties, the liquor interests in ex orbitant-profits. Technically, Great Britain is under- no compulsion to, approve the prohibition program' of the United States or to help make the laws effective. Legally, so far as British sov ereignity reaches, the buying and selling of alcoholic beverages is an honorably respected occupa tion. That Americans who come beyond the three-mile limit are engaged in an out-lawed traffic is no British . business. ', The Briton can 'ask with the smugness of Cain "Am I my brother's keeper?"

But It's poor policy, John Bull, a detestable policy! : Great Britain Is slowly but surely alienating that mass of American opinion which in the past has formed the strongest tie between the two countries the idealists, the Protestant churches, the pious and peaceful classes, the large-minded people, the thinkers, those upon whom Great Britain must rely for sympathy when an other crisis is forced upon the world,, . , . - ; The respect of the law-abiding classes of America sold for a bot tle of ', rum! .
