prior to 1880. In 1881 it passed the
300,000,000 line and slowly increased '
with the population; in 1899 it was j
over 400,000,000 bushels; In 1902 it ex- j
reeded 50(1,000,000, and in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1904, was 517,- j

in any preceding year.
The sovereign who reigns over the
smallest monarchy in the world is the
king of Cocos, a group of islands near j
Sumatra. These islands were discov- j
ered about "00 years ago by the cap- j
tain (if the Keeling, but were conipara
lively little known till 1825. When i
Mr. Ross, an Englishman. visited thein
he was struck by their beauty and \
took up his abode there. It is his j
grandson, George Ross, who now i
holds sway over the Cocos.
According to a report of the Oer- '

■rained to use agricultural implements .
and to instruct farmers in their use.
The company found that th.7 lack of
knowledge of agricultural machines
ivas the greatest drawback to the de- :

Lady Eleanor Wiekham, the London |
society leader, has a craze for wearing 1
little grass snakes for bracelets. She
entices the reptiles to twine them
selves around her wrist, then she j
plunges her hands and arms into icy j
cold water for a few moments, with !
the result that the serpents become |
torpid and remain in a more or less j
comatose state for some hours. Thus j
she is able to preside at afternoon tea j
with her arms covered with living j
snakes as bracelets.

TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT.
GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY
j
National Expenditures Have Simply
Kept Pace with the Nation's
Unique Development.
If Mr. Parker would consent to de
scend to particulars instead of dealing
i with generalities when on the subject
of national expenditure the American !
people would have more respect for i
him. It is all very well to denounce j
extravagance, hut such denunciations j
have little or no effect on the public j
mind. It is absurd to institute compar- j
isons between expenditures of different, j
periods, for they depend upon the na- .
tional growth and could only be fairly j
j compared if the country were in an
arrested stage of development. Judge I
Parker points out that, during Mr. j
j Cleveland's first term the average an- j
nual disbursements of the government j
were much less than they are at pres
i ent. but ho does not let us know |
whether anything was accomplished j
in the way of properly meeting the na- j
tional needs during the democratic ad- j
' ministration. It may happen to have
been the case that the smaller sum ex- j
pended during Cleveland's term repre- j
; sents a greater degree of extravagance j
j than the larger disbursements of later |
i years. At any rate, it is tip to the :
■ critics of republican expenditures to
point out in which items extravagance i
1 is displayed, and not to confine them- !
I selves to wholesale denunciation of to
' tals.
The reason why Judge Parker does
; not particularize is known to everyone i
' who has any familiarity with the sub- ;
I ject of national expenditure. If lie
j should attempt, says the San Francisco j
Chronicle, to furnish a bill of details j
it would be possible for republicans to !
analyze it and demonstrate thai his
| charge is groundless. If. for instance, !
he objected to the increased expendi- 1
tares for naval purposes, it would be j
promptly shown thai all appropriations
for the navy were made with the api
j proval of the major part of the demo- |
! crats in congress. If he has a quarrel
' with the size of ihe pension list, it j
! must be with democrats as well as re- i
; publicans, for the appropriations for |
1 war pensions are practically made j
unanimously. What is true of these j
i two great classes of appropriations is |
true of all others. The record does
i not. show any consistent or persistent I
attempt on the part of the democrats j
| In congress to check expenditure. They j
' are notoriously of the class which fa- !
| vors "the old flag and an appropria- j
j tion," and the worst offenders in this j
| regard are the members from the "solid |
] south," whose chief reason for being j
| In Washington seems to be to secure j
; substantial recognition for their re- j
spective sections,
j Apart from these considerations, it j
| is preposterous to make a comparison
of expenditures with Cleveland's first
I term without dwelling upon the growth
of the country in the interval. Judge j
' Parker says the average annual ex- i
\ penditures during Cleveland's first
! term amounted to $269,000,000, and for
! the past three years they have been \
! $519,000,000. During this interval the .
population of the country has grown
from 58,000,000 to 80,000,000; bank
clearings have increased from $55,000.-
! 000,000" to $114,000,000,000; exports of
! domestic merchandise from $730,282,000
|to $1,392,000,000; bank deposits from!
$1.035,022.911 to $10,382,000,000; value
; of mineral products from $619,512,173
jto $1,260,649,265; insurance in force j
from $4,049,578,567 to $10,508,478,776; 1
annual postage receipts from less than
| $60,000,000 to about $15,000,000,000. Is
|it astonishing that the expenditures j
i should have kept pace with the devel-1
j opment noted? Not to anyone famil- j
i iar with the early history of the coun
try. which shows that there has been j
a steady increase of disbursement un- j
rler democratic as well as under reptib- j
lican administrations, and that this ;
process has never been checked with- j
out producing a marked deterioration
of tin' public service, the efficiency of
which can only he maintained by keep- ;
ing it well abreast of the national
prowth.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.
: More Than All Else Protection Pro
tects the Welfare of the Amer
ican Workingman.
The democratic platform denounces
the protective tariff policy of the re
publican party as "a robbery of the
many for the enrichment of the few."
I We cannot keep this assertion before
I the people and the wage earners toe
| often. It will bo iteration and reitera
i lion. Many eminent economists, with
: free-trade leanings, of course, have de
! dared that the only thing which a
i protective tariff protects is labor. The
| democratic party, says the Wheeling
j Intelligencer, has declared otherwise.
I The London Ironmonger some years
I ago declared strenuously that this ia
i a fact. It stated that labor was the
only thing which a protective tariff
i really protected. It has been asserted
1 by many other statisticians that the
; protective tariff is all that keeps the
wages of the American workingmen at
ilic high level which they have reached.
: There are many people who would like
to see these wages reduced to the Eu
| pean level. They say it. is wholly un
natural that the wage earners of the
I'nited Slates should receive wages so
much higher than are paid by t lie other
j nations of the world. It is very likely
that this is what troubles a good many
free-traders of this country. They be
\ lieve that we should get down to the
level of wages in Europe, and that tho
only way to accomplish this is to get
down to a free-trade basis. The fram
i ers of the democratic platform of 1891!
> probably had this idea in mind when
■ they built the tariff plank iu which
i ihey declared:
"We denounce republican protection
as a fraud and a robbery of a great ma
jority of the American people for the
; benefit of the few. We declare it to be
a fundamental principle of the demo
cratic party that the federal govern
i merit has 110 constitutional power to
| impose and collect tariff duties except
! for the purpose of revenue only."
On the other hanf!, the republican
| party has always maintained that a
j protective tariff keeps up the wages of
the working people and protects the
I manufacturer from the low wage sched
ule of his European competitors. The
working men who have looked into
this subject are fully convinced that
| the protective tariff protects their
j wages. There is no doubt about, it.
A POINT FOR YOUNG MEN.
Do They Agree with Judge Parker
That Our"Flag Should Come
Down in Philippines?
The young men of the United States,
1 by tens of thousands, bravely volun
teered to put down insurrection in the
Philippines. Our treaty with Spain
] touching the great archipelago on the
far side of the Pacific was clinched by
the valor and sacrifices of armies ccrm
-1 po.sed of young Americans. Judge l'ar
ker has just said in a letter that he is
| in favor of telling the hundreds of
tribes in the Philippines at once that
! they will eventually be given indepea
; deuce on tlie haine basis as the Cu
bans. That is to say, argues the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, we should now
; assure the Filipinos that their ilag will
go up and the United States flag come
down; that we retain only a naval
station by treaty; that the Filipinos
conduct their own independent govern
i ment, imposing a tariff against, our
goods, and, doubtless, increasing it, as
Cuba has just done, and negotiating
j rational loans to be distributed among
Filipinos, also on the Cuban plan. Was
it for this pulling down of the Hag
i that the noble arimes of young Ameri
cam fought and hiked in the Philip
j pines? Judge Parker's proposed sur
' render of the islands has not yet been
discussed in this country. He has
pledged himself to act now without
! any popular debate or congressional
consideration. His convention tele
-1 gram and his letter on the Philippines
! show that he is an extremely unsafe
| man, erratic, premature and generally
| dangerous in his egotistic movements.
