CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000
PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.
The American tree traders are dumb
founds at the preaching- of the gospel
of protection for Great j Britain by
Chamberlain and .Balfour, ; For over
fifty years j these American theorists
have been i pointings to tbe successful
working of, free trade In! that country
as an argrument for our adoption of
the same policy. Now that the system
Is breaking down , in Great Britain,
they are confounded, and know not
what course to take. ;
. When free trade was adopted there,
England -was far In advance of the re
mainder of the world as a manufactur
ing nation.' Beyond iron, coal, tin and
china clayj she produced none of the
Important' raw materials of manufae
ture. Her, industries had become so
great, and supported such a lar
working reputation, thai the British
farmers could not produce the ' grain,
meat, and other foods to supply the de
mand. It was and Is-i-necessary to
Import not only the raw materials of
her great manufacturing industries-
notably cotton and wool but foo.l
stuuffs also. Hence, free! trade was the
best policy for her at that time, lis
advocates the "Manchester school
1 i
believed that it would result in making
England the world's manufacturer. AH
other countries were to furnish the raw
material hnd ' the food for her" people
and in return buy.'thelr manufactured
goods of her. I ' f
-.1 ' I
The situation in the United States
was and Is entirely different. We have
an agricultural area that can furnish
food for the world. We are the prin
cipal cotton producing tfountry in the
world. Our mtjies and forests, our
flocks and herifs, and I our farm and
plantations,' furnish raw materials of
. .
acted a protective tariff! law to encour
age our Industries. Protection wouli
nave oeen tne steaatast poiicyt 01 tnis
country from, 1791 to the present, as
serts a writer in the Toledo Blade, had
It not been for the upas tree of slavery.
Slavi labor could be utilized only In
agriculture; and agriculture x in the
South meant cotton. The slave barons
did not want manufacturing towns, "or
that meant an Intelligent white popu
lation of workingmenj naturally n
Imlcai to slavery. Hence the South
demanded free trade, that they mignt
obtain English manufactured goods at
the cheapest rate. Every time we have
tried a low tariff, the experience has
been followed by panic ami. business
prostration. . - 1
; All the other great countries of the
world lmye adopted the protective sys
tem, until the time has come that Am
erican. French, German and Belgim
manufactures are sold largely in th.U
couniry. in successful 'competition with
its own industrial products. : Chamber
lain has soended the alarm, and he and
Balfour I now advocate what Is really
a protective tariff, in order to ; give
preferential reduction1 to Imports from
British colonies, the same as we admit
Philippine products sit a lower duty
than those from elsewhere, -.i Free trade
In England Is doomed.

DIDN'T INVENT CURVED BALL.
r Sir Liang Cheng, the rtetv; Chinese
Minister, is credited with; the", state
ment that he Invented the curved ball
in pitching. It hajpened. so It Is said,
twenty years ago when he was a stu
dent at Andover. "When he entered the
school he took up the great American
game 1 with enthusiasm, and soon be
came an expert player. At first tio
one dreamed that he possessed enough
skill in twirling the spheroid to mysti
fy the crafty college batters. It was
learned through the merest chance. One
day the regular pitcher was ' ill, and
some one suggested that IJartg Cheng
go into the box. , He accepted with
alacrity, much to the surprise of the
'other players. He threw the ball with
a peculiar twist which sorely troubled
the batters. He had things all his own
way. After, that his services were
much sought. 4. - 1 ; i ,S . i '-,
But a writer in an exchange says;
"However good a ball player the Chi
nese MhIter was at that time, he has
his dates mixed." When- he frisked
about the campus of Andover," the
curved ball had been used for ten years.
The art was discovered and practiced
for some time solely by, Arthur Cum
mings of Brooklyn, X. T. In 1S73
Curamings was the star pitcher of one
of the : crack nines Of that city. His
new trick was practiced successfully
for two years , until it became noised
about. Then others solved the problem,
and curved pitching became part of
every professional pitcher's stock in
trade." i -j '
AN INCREASE IN SUICIDES.
To one1 fond of morbid things, a table,
recently prepared by? William Bacoii
Bailey, instructor in statistics and soci
ology at Tale University,; will have a
peculiar fascination. His ngrures show
that suicide is increasing in this coun
try. He blames higher education for
it. According to his theory, among ed
ucated persons there Is much mental
i;orrjv. Jlif e , Is. faster, ; and IJ .la.hard
worn getting to the top. This condition
of things, he contends, intensifies the
suicidal mania. . " ;' '
From data gathered from dally news
papers, Professor Bailey has found that
many : more males than females take
their own lives. Suicide occurs more
frequently between the thirtieth and
fortieth years among the males, and
between the twentieth and j. thirtieth
years among the females. -
Despondency is the leading motive in
both sexes. Business; losses, insanity
and HI health follow In order. Th-?n
follow disappointment n lo-e and mis
cellaneous causes. It is curious to note
that more suicides occur on Monday
than ort any other day In the week.
Sunday conies next, and the decrease
continues and Includes Thursday. There
Is. a sudden raise on Friday which can
not be accounted for. Saturday is next
to Thursday, the lowest day "in the
week. Monday is pre-eminently ; the
day of suicides; the - stimulation of
Saturday night and Sunday Is followed
by a depression that Increases the sui
cidal mania. ;
TO BE LOOKED INTO.
Some of those Philippine girls as
sume that a. marriage with , a ' soldter
In the army of the United States is it
real and true marriage.; What a fool
ish presumption! -1 4 j'
v At least, that Is what some of the
soldiers would say. Perhaps that would
be the view taken by n lieutenant now
hat Fort Ieavenworth whose propose 1
marriage, according to going accounts,'
will have to be postponed.-
Soon after the announcement of this
lieutenant's engagement to an' Ameri
can girl. Secretary Boot received a let
ter from a fair Filipino girl who' said
that at Cebu she had married this same
lieutenant, and she inclosed a marriage
certificate, or what purported to be one.
This document is not duly pealed and
certified; yet Secretary Root has con
cluded to have the matter inquired into.
There Is no common -law marriage in
the Philippines. If the girl who claims
the lieutenant as her husband is hon
est iri her .claim, she is the artless vic
tim a bit of fraud. If she can show
that a presumptive marriage was en
tered into and if she makes out a case,
the probability is that it will go hard
with the lieutenant in the case he is
liable to be court martialed.- -At any
rate, the rerort Is that owing to cir
cumstances over which Secretary Root
has control, the proposed marriage of
the lieutenant is postponed. ' "T

CULT
OF NAPOLEON IS A FORM
OF DEVIL WORSHIP.
Prof. Gold win Smith, the venerable
historian and publicist, makes some
pertinent remarks In commenting on
the revival of the- cult of Napoleon and
the blossoming anew-of Napoleonic lit
erature. He reminds us of what we all
know but are in danger of forgetting.
that Napoleon was a very bad man and
In no wise an admirable character. He
had great talents, but was devoid of
moral sense. -He was an adventurer,
with brains and his career was as dis
tinguished by crime and perfidy, as by
battles fought and won." He murdered
the Due oTEnghien, who was arrested
on neutral ground and convicted with
out evidence on a charge of complicity
In a conspiracy against Napoleon's
I :
life. , He murdered Toussaint IxmTer
tore, the Haitain revolutionist. He
murdered, Andreas Hofer,; the Tyrolese
patriot. PIchegru. the great general
of the Revolution died "very suddenly
and opportunely while held a pris
oner by ; Napoleon. Napoleon - mas
sacred two thousand , prisoners of war
at Jaffa.- He once brought on a need
less engagement, says Professor Smith,
in 'which some of his men fell, to in
dulge with the spactacle of war ''ladies
who had visited him In his camp.
Napoleon's entire career, indeed, was
a series of murders. Every man that
died on either side In the Napoleonic
lTvars was murdered by Napoleon
for!
the personar aggrandizement of that
ambitious adventurer. He committed
forgery, he fabricated news, he pub
lished false reports of his battles, he
kidnaped the King of Spain and his
heir in order that he might rob them
of their kingdom, he put aside his law
ful wife, an offense which is not excus
ed by. a recital of her faults, since he
was aware of those faults when he
married her; he brought sorrow to
every family in France, and even draft
ed boys' into. his armies; he never felt
either -pity or remorse, and thought
nothing, of spending 200,600 men for
some selfish purpose. He himself said
to Mettemich that he heeded little, the
death of a 'million of 'men.
"To all these things Goldwln Smith
directs our attention again, lest' we for-
; '
get, and his article, which appears in
the June Atlantic should be pondered
carefully by those who are disposed to
worship Napoleon ' as a demigod. "Tejt
we are expected,"1 exclaims Professor
Smith, "to feel very Indignant about
the martyrdom of this man at St. Hel
ena; the martyrdom consisting in Uje
denial of a title of which his own Leg
islature had deprived him; bickerings
with his keeper, caused mainly by his
own peevishness: and a. confinement
which was alleviated by the enjoyment
of every luxury, and was . absolutely
.necessary to prevent himfrom enjoy
ing, at . the. expense of his kind, such
spectacles as fields of battle covered
with carnage and agony. What were
the most awful sufferings of the race
compared with slight annoyances in
flicted on one great man who, had
brought them on himself by making his
confinement indispensable to the peace
of the world? Is there any limit to the
servility of mankind?" 1 f
Napoleon's supreme military genius
Is acknowledged, of course, by Profes-,
sor Smith, but that temperate critic of
affairs does not gush over the victories
of the Emperor. He suggests, quite
sanely, that had Napoleon been pitted
at the outset against Wellington ; or
Suvaroff, with the troops which they
commanded, he would have been su
perior, no doubt, to either of them; but
he would not have had1 so easy a' game.
or have so readily established hi$ mil
itary prestige. The first resistance to
Napoleon was senile and spiritless.
. Nor was Napoleon's generalship free
of follies and mistakes. He Underesti
mated the force of moral sentiment be
cause' he himself had .no moral sense!
His Egyptian expedition was insane,
and his projected invasion of England
would have come to disaster. He erred
in compelling Admiral Vilieneuve to
encounter Nelson at Trafalgar, and the
march to Moscow was a crowning piece
of bad judgment. . ' . --'V"'
Prof. Gold win Smith's masterly,
though brief, analysis of Napoleon's
career will tend to counteract the sick
ening adulation of the Emperor and of
other great men of action! The moral
sense of humanity must not suffer It
self to be warped and distorted by the
warmth of admiration for Immense
achievement. We are, all too prone to
fall down before the. Alexanders, the

success was attained. This Is a moral

COLOMBIA AND THE CANAL.
The. difficulty' In the Panama Canal
matter arises from the Inability of the
French company to deliver the goods.
The United States is ready to pay J40,
000,000 down and the canal company is
ready to accept that amount; but de
livery depends upon the consent of the
Colombian Congress; and this Congress
will not consent, for the reason that
It believes the concession to the French
company is not legal and that the $40,
000,000 should be paid into the Colom
Man treasury. " Forty million dollars
is a large sum of money and enough, to
make a Colombian .Congressman be
lieve almost, anything. Without going
into the merits of the caie, we may
quote for public information the argu
ment of the Colombians, which has re
cently been presented in the columns
of the Chicago Record-Herald by Mr.
William E. Curtis: The original con
cession granted to the French company
expired in 1898 and was renewed for
seven years bv President Saclamente
upon the payment of $1,000,000, He ac
cepted the money and the company
acepted the concession, but the trans
action was never ratified by the Colom
bian Congress, and is held to be an
unfinished proceeding. President Sac
lamente acted under what is termed an
ernergency clause of the constitution.
Which 9 time of war rives the Presi
dent authority to do whatever is neces
sary. , for -the welfare . or the country.
There was no foreign war at the time,
but the peoplejwere in a state of revo
lution,' and the , $1,000,000 which was
paid by the 'French company was de
cidedly for the welfare of the Govern
ment." A stnT further objection is that
the constitution requires all emergency
acts of the. President to .be ratified by
Congress at its next session. The' re
newal of the concession has never been
sabmUted; in fact, there has been no
meeting , of the Colombian Congress
since; It "was granted. The country lias
been in a state off rebellion all the time.
For these reasons, the opponents of the
treaty hold that the concession which
the French company is now selling to
our Government jror $40,000,000 is Illegal
and therefore worthless, and that it is
not becoming in the Colombian Con
gress, ot participate in such a fraudu
lent transaction, j They claim that un
der the terms of the original conces
sion all the property and rights of the
French company j reverted to the Co
lombian Government v upon its expira
tion' In 1898. i
The Western Populists seem dis
posed to support Mr. Roosevelt rather
than a candidate of their own party or
one of the Democratic party, andsome
Influential Democrats express ,them
selves as glad off It- They say that the
woes of their party are due principally
to the alliance 1 with the Populists,"
