The chances are that the Rogers will

It is not at 'east possible that the re

President McKinley, it is said, has

Consul General Stowe at Capetown

It's curious that the Populists should
get so angry because the Republicans
are making estimates of Mr. Bryan's
fortune. They don't hesitate to make
re mark 3 about the wealth of J. Pier
pont Morgan and the rest of the million
aires. Turn about is fair play.
We'll hazard the prophecy that the
next big political fight will be on re
ciprocity with Cuba and that it will be
the hottest sort of one. The sugar and
tobacco interests will fight the admis
sion of those products tooth and nail,
while Cuba must stako her very exis
ence o their entry.
Let Well Enough Alone.
It is estimated that the men em
ployed in the different concerns
composing the United States Steel
Company number 189,000 receiving
815,000.000 a month in wages, says
American Economist. This would
be an average of about SBO a month
each, or 82.(Hi per day. liut this
only represents those directly em
ployed. At least half a million arc
employed in dependent industries,
averaging probably 82 per day, or
$300,000,000 a year. Even this
docs not include the many thou
sands engaged in transposition,
nor does it include the thousands
of managers and clerks whose sala
ries amount- to many million of
dollars more. Here alone is a pur
chasing power of enormous strength
which traverses every channel of
industry. Many of these men own
stock in the great concer or loan it
money from which they receive
dividends or interest.
It is such items as this which
make up our immense home market
and create a domestic demand for
the products of farm and factory
beside which our export trade is in
significant-. There is no reason
why we should not extend foreign
markets as much as possible, but
not even at the expense of our sure
home market. Free-Traders would
ruin this constant domestic demand
for the sake of an entrance to a
foreign market which we might or
might not retain. By letting in a
flood of the products of cheap fore
ign labor we would soon have an
adverse balance of trade and our
own purchasing power would at
once decline because of idleness
and lower wages at home. We
might better try to sell nothing
abroad than to sacrifice a single
domesticindustry. Ourhomemark
et is probably fifty times the worth
of all foreign markets. Let us
preserve it to the fullest extent
possible, reaching abroad as well in
search of customers for our surplus
products. We are increasing our
foreign markets very rapidly as it
is, much faster than is Free-Trade
England. Let well enough alone
is a good rule in markets as in
everything else.
Who Pays the Tariff.
We call the attention of the Free-
Traders to the attitude taken by
the Powers in reference to the
proposition made by China that she
increase her customs duties in or
der to raise sufficient revenue with
which to pay the indemnities de
manded, says the American Econo
mist. All unmindful of the claim
that the consumer pays the Tariff,
which has, according to Free-Trade
judgment, been so thoroughly prov
en to be correct, the Powers refused
to consent to China's proposal to
increase customs duties on the
ground that this would lay the
burden on the foreign producers,
who would have to pay the increas
ed duties imposed. So far as ap
pears, the Powers were all agreed
in respect to this holding. Here
is food for thought for Mr. Cleve
land, who in his message in ISB7,
held that the Tariff "raised the
price to the consumers of all articles
imported and subject to duty by
precisely the sum paid for such
duties." Here is afield worthy of
all the energies of the New England
Free-Trade League. There would
seem to be room here for an indefi
nite number of Free-Trade syndi
cated articles designed to prove that
the consumer pays the Tariff.
Even Free-Trade England offers a
field for such work, for she seems,
with the other Powers, to have in
dorsed the Protectionist claim, or,
perhaps we might better say, seems
to have acquiesced in what all ex
perience has proved to be true, viz:
that it is the seller and not the
buyer who pays the Tariff.
In an editorial under thedaption.
"The Day Begins to Dawn," Henry
Watterson, in the Louisville Cour
ier-Journal, discusses the Ohio
State convention, and the turning
down of Mr. Bryan and the Kansas
City platform. He says: "At last
the Buckeye valiants are tired of
sucking eggs that have no meat in
them. They realize that inflation
ism in all its forms is a losing card.
They want to win. To win they
must get together. To get together
they must get away from dead is
sues, and line up on live issues.
Mr. Bryan has had both his chance
and his day. Ilis plea for another
trial will not hold water. Ilis
dictation no longer exercises any
power of command. It means
simple hopeless division, continued
defeat, ultimate ruin. Anybody
with half a mind can see this
plainly."

A I flippy Foot.
The custom of wishing a friend "a
happy foot" is to be found in all parts
of Europe, and it goes to show how
much superstition is connected with
our footgear. It is to he assumed that
the well fitting hoot or shoe, which en
ables a person to walk in comfort, is
symbolical of happiness.
The accidental placing of the right
shoe on the left foot, putting a shoe on
awry or the breaking of a lace is a
had sign from the popular point of
view. To tie the shoe of another Indi
vidual is indicative of humility and
lowly position, yet the Chinese wor
ship the shoes of an upright judge.
There is a curious superstition in
some parts of England which advises
that when the youngest daughter mar
ries before her sisters the latter should
dance at her wedding without shoes in
order to insure husbands for them
selves. On St. Valentine's eve, accord
ing to a similar custom, girls should
hang their slioes outside tho window if
they wish to secure lovers.
Some actresses carefully preserve the
boots they wore when they scored their
first success and wear them on all im
portant occasions.
Got For tli«» Money.
A gentleman living in a rural part of
England sent his coachman to a neigh
boring village for 5 shillings' worth of
penny stamps.
After a time John returned from his
tramp of two miles.
Ilis face wore a self satisfied look
when he came into bis employer's pres
ence.
"Got the stamps, John*! 1 "
"Yes, sir," the man replied, handing
over a batch of halfpenny stamps.
"I said penny stamps, John, and you
Lave got halfpenny ones."
"Yes, sir," and the smile widened. "I
asked for 5 shillings' worth of stamps,
an the postmaster says, 'Halfpenny or
penny?' 'Do you sell halfpenny
stamps?' I asked. 'Yes,' said be. 'Well,'
says I, 'if you can buy stamps for a
halfpenny, what's the use of payin a
penny?' An I bought the halfpenny
stamps, sir."—Loudon Telegraph.
One reason why there are so many
bachelors now is that men are never
asked any more to hold skeins of yarn
while the girls wind.
