GREAT AND HEALTHY TRADE
. In the short period of 4en years the trade of the United
States with its insular possessions has doubled "
An amazing growth. n -
'' " Our trade with Hawaii is seven times larger than it was
the year, preceding its annexation to the United States. In
1898 our shipments to Porto Rico were valued at $1,500,000,
and this year they were $79,000,000 ; and shipments: to con
tinental United States from Porto Rico, valued at $2,500,000
n 1898 were this year valued at $84,000,000. Our trade with
the" Philippines, valued at $4,000,000 in 1898, this year was
valued-at $161,000,000. f wOl
The great growth noted s.how, th.e advantages, of direct
free connection with the best maetfjjh thewbrld- lv
4 But our, tradew.with.the rest of the world is. showing a
healthy, growth U though the free trade propagandists said
when the present tariff law was Being consioered, that its
enactment would kill our foreign trade.
. They wererdead wrong, as some of them knew they
-were ": '
For our foreign trade has come up to proportions never
before known, and in the first ten months of this year our
imports increased in value $473,083,848,. and from Europe
alone the increase amounted to $116,777,868. P r e'e i s e 1 y
what free traders wish us to do, we are doing, buying more
from Europe and increasing our foreign trade and we are
able to do it because of our adequate protective tariff.
, ' And our exports have increased in value during this
year's first ten months, as compared with the first ten months
of last year. $342,194,553, and of this increase our exports to
Europe have increased ; in value $253,156,057 Europe has
.absorbed nearly three-fourths of our increased exports
'impoverished Europe," which continues to buy from us
merchandise of a value twice as great as we buy from Europe.
.. With such a showing, one would naturally presume that
the free trade propagandists would be discouraged and give
Bp their fight in despair j 'i:
s " And it would seem unnecessary for protectionists t6
keep up their work.
- .But neither supposition is correct. The figh tis going
. , But neither supposition is correct. The fight is going
on and will go on until the South becomes fully! safe and
sane on protection.
The time is coming, but it is not here yet.

Last of the traln-robblBg.'iuan-

UTord, and nothing the James
boys or the t)altons ever-attempted
had more ot bravado, tiian ,tbe
career of crime they led.
For both ot tnera ootalnod jobs
as deputy sheriffs and worked
their evil plans from the compara
tive safety of the sheriff's office.
Billy Styles, under-sized, hatch
et-faced, with beady eyes, started
on his life of outlawry when a
mere boy.
He didn't pet on well with his
steD-father in the little- ranch
house at the north outskirts of
Florence, counts' seat of Pinal
county, just across the Gila river
a bit from the sheriff's office. In
a fight he killed the old man and
buried him at the foot of Poston
butte, named lor the state's first
congressman, ;
He disappeared for a number
of years, and next showed up in
Cochise county, down on the Mex
ican border, where he became a
'deputy, jaheriff under famous old
Scott White, oldest living Arizona
sheriff, now secretary of the state
penitentiary at Florence.
Sheriff White put him on as
guard and express, messenger.

from Yuma to El Paso. At this
job he learned when shipments
of currency and gold were-sent
over the lines. , ... -
Bert Alvord, another, deputy
sheriff,,, was Ti is pal. "' They fig
ured., out together a plan .to rob
the Southern Pacific train while
Billy was off duty; the place se
lected was near Cochise, about
,2t miles , south, of Ttfllcox. "where
the Southern jpi;liic. bends aou

tain a. -: : ,;. .. . ; . .;
The robbery' was pulled orff In
true Al Jennings style. But Billy
had miscalculated the date -.and
all they got was $1500 in cash
and some jewelry.1
They reported black for woTk
and were sent by Sheriff White to
"hunt the train robers."s
Sheriff White soon came to sus
pect them, but couldn't get any
definite evidence, so he kept them
right at work as deputies, and put
a watch over them. Through a
slip they learned they were being
watched. ' ,
. So, working as" sheriffs, and
V with a watch over them, they cool-
lv planned a second roDDeiry.wnn
Matt Burch and Three-Fingered
Jack, whose surname is lost to
memory. But. to keep clear
themselves they arranged that
they would not take actual part.
but would have othef official work
to do nearby.
Burch and Three-Fingered Jack
made a mess of It. Jack got into
a gunfight with Sam Milton, the
exnress cuard, and shot Jack
through the abdomen.
Stiles and Alvord didn't show
up, but went out to "hunt the rob
bers." Jack, thinking himself
double-crossed, "squealed" ., to
Sheriff White, telling of the part
Alvord and Stiles had in both rob
beries.
The pair was locked up at
Tombstone. Stiles sent for the
sheriff.

White pondered a moment, then
said: 1
' AH right, Billy';-I'll let you
out, but if you go wrong on me,

.sAnd;Stnes, leader of the train-

for it? walked into the Tombstone
jail; at noon one day, drew out

jailer dead.

the Jail and Invited them to go
with Alvord and himself. Most
of them stayed, but Stiles and Al

robbed a mine train of $100,000
worth of bullion. They stole
Studebaker car in which to make
the run to Sonora, and no other
ear could be found that could over
take them in a race through the
cactus-studded rocks.
Alvord went o Central Ameri
ca and died there, a fugitive from
justice. Stiles went to China and
