Out of 303 articles pur chased, consisting of canned goods, baking powders, meat products, spices, jellies, jams, etc., more than 45 per cent, were found to contain adultera tions. Of the 32 samples of canned fruits, jellies and jams examined, 20, or 01 per ceni. were found lo be in Ihis degree defective. The railroads of the United States require 020,000,000 wooden crossties, and every year 100,000,000 new ties must be cut. This strips annually 200,000 acres of perfectly wooded ground; it actually scars many times that area. With the tremendous de mands of tln j paper makers, the min ing engineers, the builders and a thou sand more users of wood, it is no wonder that the railroads are forced togo further and further away from their lines to get their ties. In vain have they tried to substitute metal. The Pugent Sound navy yard, lo cated at Bremerton, Wash., is rapidly becoming the nation's most important naval base, owing to the increase of international interest in the "Far Bast," and to its being the nearest sta tion to the Philippines. Futhermore, the authorities have recently made public the result of a preliminary sur vey, which developed the fact thai IJncle Sam can start a fleet of war ships from Puget Sound for the sphere of the present Russo-Japanese war and ■stop them every night in an American port until they reach the east coast of Asia just north of Japan. Sea Island cotton is the best kind. It is finer and silkier than any other cotton in the world. A pound of it can be spun into 4,770 miles of thread. For an experiment once in ihe English town of Manchester a skilled spinner spun a pound of Sea Island cotton in to a single thread 1,000 miles long. Then for another experiment he took another pound of cotton and spun it into as many hanks as he could gel. lie got 10,000 hanks in all, and the yarn in each of them measured 840 yards. Thus out of a pound of cotton 4,770 miles of yarn was produced, but too fine lo be of any practical utility. Although a majority of the men in this country have three names, an un usual proportion of those who attain sminence in public life have only two. Pake the recent cabinet changes as an illustration: Paul Morton resigned, John Hay died and Elihu Root is to re iurn to the cabinet. No middle name n any of these cases. Of 25 men who have held the office of president only seven have had more than two names. Uf the 2(i vice presidents 13 have nad two names and 13 have had three. The United States supreme court has had eight chief justices, four with two names, four with three. Never before in the history of this land has na ure opened her cornuco pia more generously and poured out greater plenty. The west has a rec ord-breaking wheat crop that is tax ing her labor to the fullest lo harvest. And it takes ess of it to make a bar «el of flour ban in previous years. The south h;is a good cotton crop coming on, and the growers are tam ing ten-cent cotton and prosperity. The corn crop of the country prom ises to be 300,000,000 bushels larger than ever before and worth something like $1,640,000,000 to the farmers. A complete reorganization of affairs at Hiltmore i« to be made by George W. Vanderbiit. First aud foremost Mr. Vanderbiit is to give up farming himself and !s going to let somebody else do it for him. Ho has believed all along that his venture at Hiltmore could be made to pay expenses or nearly so, but he has been disappoint ed. He considers that his experiment ol ten years justifies him in changing his mind about the money there was to be made <n farming. Farming has been a past:me with Mr. Vanderbiit. very agreeable, but most expensive. The finances of Hayti are in a very bad shape. Ai present, the national debt amounts to nearly upon which interest is payable to the extent of $2,000,000 annually. As this obligation is "met rather irregularly, the time can not be far distant whefa pome nation will feel called upon to' Intervene. Some make bold to say that (he United States should be that nation. Hayti, H is claimed, would ake n desirable addition to our colo/ 1 acquisitions.

Mr. Bryan, interviewed in St. Louis expressed t lie opinion that tlm grea l success of -Mr. Roosevelt in politics is due to the fact that he has stolen i number of democratic "principles." 1 would be interesting to know where h( found them. And it would be inter esting, says the St. 1/iuis Giobe-Bemo crat, for Mr. Bryan to tell the countrj where they are to be found. The vita principles of political parties are no merely the declaration of party repre sentatives in national convention. Witt a parly long out of power, its reiter ated assertion of certain political ten ets may entitle it to say that these t.on stitute its principles of action, 01 would in the event of its elevation lc power. During the long exile of de mocracy a generation of voters grew up in this country who were deluded or deluded themselves into a beliel that if the organization should evei attain to complete control of the gov eminent, it would inaugurate a new fiscal policy. Even the years of di vision and of legislative obstruction growing out of the Morrison and Mills bills, could not shake the faith 01 dampen the ardor of these young men whose courage and devotedness were surely worthy of a better fate. Foi no sooner was the party in poritioii to redeem its pledges than it fell intc hopeless uncertainty, constituting a menace which did more than any oth er thing to precipitate panic and con tinue depression. When these men turned from old tc newer issues and made Mr. Bryan the party leader, they found that it war impossible to unite the party on new lines as on old. Two campaigns were enough to demonstrate the fact thai that party is without "principles," al though its mass, like the mass of every party, favor methods of government contributing to a general welfare. But a democratic platform declaration may not be called a democratic "principle,' as a republican platform declaration may. for the reason that, if intrusted with power, the democratic party can not or will not resolve its declared pur poses into action, as the republicans do. Doctrinaires may not recognize this distinction between the parties but we can assure Mr. Bryan it is one which the people recognize as vital tc them. There is a popular belief in the hon esty of Mr. Bryan, and a conviction in the public mind that if he and his fol lowers should ever attain to the su preme power in this country they would, if they could, redeem theii pledges and attempt to resolve intc action their platform declarations. This is likely to make the attainment ol complete power forever impossible tc them. But beyond the fear of their sincerity, lic-s the fear, which is ever greater, of the same sort of prolonged and disastrous uncertainty, hesitation doubt and faltering which came upon the country under Cleveland. For un der Bryan, as under Cleveland, the par ty would inevitably split and be in capable of uniting on the policies it had advocated in the campaign The democratic party stands now. in lfie public mind, as one not knowing what it. wants. POINT ABOUT FREE TRADE. There Is Always a Flop When Amer icans Are to Be the Gainers by the Tariff. Our free trade friends certainly are curious beings, and it is very difficult to satisfy them or pin them down to a consistent policy. Some one has pro posed to put a duty on tea and e-offee. The suggestion is merely tentative, and there is reasejn to doubt whether it would be favorably considered by the American p -ople or acted upon by con gress. But the mere mention of the matter throws the free traders into "conniption fits." says the Troy Times. Why? Until recently they were loud and emphatic in advocacy of a tariff for revenue only. And if a duty upon tea and coffee is not exclusively for revenue what is it? No-t a pound of tea or cof fee is produced in the United States. On the other hand, this country is one of the greatest consumers of these arti cles. A smalt duty upon tea or corfle, therefore, would provide a large reve nue. But he 4 -e is where the free trade joker comes in. Porto Kico tlibugh not an integral part of the United States, is now a possession of our government, and under decisions of the federal courts its: products are admitted duty free. Po/to Kico raises big crops of coffee—it. fact, that article is one of its staples. A duty on coffee, which would affect the product of other countries, would be to the advantage of Porto Rico. And that accounts for the milk in the free trade cocoanut. As long as there is no shadow of protection to American interests and foreigners get the advantage the free trader favors a tariff for revenue. But when a little benefit is conferred upon Americans or those whom Americans have taken un der their protection, how quickly a free trader can flop! Bryan says he does not want to eliminate any democratic candidate for the presidency. The people will attend to the job when they reach it. a -"A decrease of $10,000,000 and more a* month in the national debt is very satisfactory. Our interest bearing debt is new but $895,158,340, our entire debt being $1,282,357,084. Our two per cent, bonds are at a premium and we have a cash balame of $292,490,323. No such satisfactory condition of our finances is ever shown under a revenue tariff Protection helps the public treasury as Hell as the peopte." CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST io, 1905. RECIPROCITY HAS A EASIS. It Is Founded Upon the Principle That Bolsters Up Pro tection. It is possible for oven so stanch a craft as the stout ship G. O. P. to be wreckec on the reefs of reciprocity, that uit known and unexplored area of tariff re ductions. The democrats are aware ol this fact, and are trying to lure the goo< vessel to disaster by as ingenious a sys tem of false buoys as was that contriver by Kipling's lighthouse keeper w!ic went mad. The democrats have suc ceeded already in beguiling a part ol the ships crew—those foolish men win style themselves revisionists, sa>'3 tilt Portsmouth (N. H.) Chronicle. Some of the Maine papers are defend' ing reciprocity because the late James G Blaine, "the man from Maine," occa sionally used the term. "There is nc doubt that there is a basis for reciprocity in harmony with protection," mislead ingly remarks the Lewiston Journal There is, and it is this very basis that we must not overlook. There is a bound ary beyond which we must not pass, it we do, reciprocity becomes free trad' pure and simple. James G. Blaine nevei advocated this. No American citizen with the interests of I lie American peo ple at heart ever stood for "reciprocity" of this sort. In the Bryan-McKinley campaign of 1900 the republican party in national convention convened declared for reci procity confined to those "articles which we do not ourselves produce." This .virt of reciprocity disturbs no principle o' protection, but is especially subject to assault from the democratic party be cause it works havoc with the whole frail system of tariff for revenueonly. President McKinley's Buffalo speech in 1 001 favored "reciprocity that will not injure any American industry." The present platform of the republican party declares for reciprocity that "will not injure any American industry." Reciprocity and protection go hand in hand up to this point, but once past it the former becomes the malignant en emy of the nation—free trade. Republican papers should offset the democratic tommyrot about reciprocity by showing what it is. The majority of people do not understand the question fully, because only one side of it has been presented to them. Time and time again the American people have crushed the adder head of free trade as it rose to sting them. Does anyone imagine that tliey would be the less ready »o do so now because it calls itself reciprocity? CHIMERA AND PARADOX. A Policy That Is Feasible Only Un der Conditions That Are Favorable. "Worldwide reciprocity" is in itself a paradox, a chimera. For the United States reciprocity is feasible only under certain special conditions. Reciprocity treaties can produce beneficial results only when there is such a dissimilarity between the products we have to sell and those we wish to buy as to make mutual concessions easy and logical, says the New York Tribune. We have an arrangement of this sort with Cuba, by which we give slight reductions on arti cles like tobacco and sugar, which we could buy whether the rates were low ered or not, and in return sell Cuba goods which she does not produce and which she could almost as readily im port from European countries. There are other nations, chiefly in the tropics and subtropics, with which we could inakee, perhaps, equally advantageous bargains. But with the great producing nations of Europe we have not been able, and shall not be able, to conclude agreements which will yield equally indisputable benefits. We have had, and can have, commercial treaties which scratch the surfa.ee of our trade relations with our great industrial competitors. But we can never apply with them in detail any policy to give and take such as we have applied in the case of Cuba. The inherent difficulties of such a pro gramme are too vast and its ultimate benefits are too doubtful to induce us to abandon the simpler and more practical method of laying tariffs to fit our own needs and enforcing them equally and impartially against our chief commer cial rivals. Gov. Douglas' scheme of "world-wide reciprocity" is illusory. It will bear no more substantial fruit than his earlier project for imposing reci procity on Canada against Canada's will. Declaration by Bryan. In politics three years is a long lime and it is three years until 1008, when the next democratic national convention will assemble. Much may happen in that. time. Parties may re align themselves. Political sentiment may change and men may change with it. So that the announcement that William Jennings Bryan will declare his candidacy for the democratiic pres idential nomination is not significant of anything in particular. It may even be said that the declaration will be superfluous, since it is pretty well un derstood that Col. Bryan is a contin uing candidate for the democratic nomination.—Chicago Chronicle. t "Judge Parker denounces the tariff as the result of "an alliance between greed and politics." It must be said for the ex-judge that he has never been accused of either.—Philadelphia In quirer. t ' There may be selfishness in our policy of protection to American in dustries. but it is the selfishness which has brought the standard of living higher in the I uitcd S:atrs than any where else in the world. This princi ple m 'ist be maintained: this standard will then maintain itself-Salem (Ore.) Statesman. CELEBRATION AT THE SOO. Fiftieth Anniversary of the Opening of the St. Mary'i; Ship Canal Is Celebrated. Sault Ste. Mario, Mich., Auk. 3. With the city crowded with thousands of visitors, and with hundreds of yards of bunting flying in the breeze from all the buildings on both the American and Canadian sides of the St. Mary's river, a salute at sunrise from the government ships in the liar •bor opened the two days' celebration of the semi centennial of the openiup of the St. Mary's ship canal, which connects Lake Superior with the low. er lakes. Fifty years ago the first ship canal around the rapids in St. Mary's rivei was completed and opened, with twc locks 350 feet in length and a depth ol 13 feet. Now the American canal has two locks, one 515 feet long, the other son feet long and 21 feet deep, while there is also a Canadian lock 1,000 feet in length. More traffic passes through these three locks than through any similar waterway in the world. In 1901, .38,000 passengers were transported through the canal, and a total of 31,440,100 tons of freight with a value of $340,000,000. The semi-centennial celebration and the erection later of a monument as a permanent memorial was made possible by the appropriation of $lO, 000 by the United States and $15,000 by the state of Michigan and the con tribution of a considerable amount by the vessel interests of the Great Lakes. Vice President Fairbanks, Gov. Warner, of Michigan, and his siaff; Senator Burrows, of Michigan; Con gressman Burton, of Ohio; Hon*. Wil liam Livingstone, president of the Lake Carriers' association; Charles T. Harvey, of Toronto, who constructed the original locks, and Miss Betty Poe, daughter of Gen. O. M. Poe, who constructed the Poo locks, are among the distinguished visitors present at the celebration. The first day was devoted to naval and military parades, an Indian exhi bition and a reception by Gov. Warner to the other distinguished guests, fol lowed by a magnificent exhibition of fireworks. RUSSIA IS NOT WHIPPED. M. Witte, the Peace Negotiator, De- j clares that Russia Is Still Able to Fight. New York, Aug. 3. —Sergiua Witte, the Russian peace plenipotentiary, on his arrival here Wednesday emphatic ally denied having said that Japan's | peace terms were intolerable. On shipboard M. Witte was gener ally reticent when the subject of his mission was mentioned. However, to an Associated Press correspondent who accompanied him from .Cher bourg, M. Witte said: "Almost every where in Europe as well as in Amer ica not only Russia, her forces, her re sources and her power of resistance are not known, but the people are j even mistaken about the true results of the war. The Russians have had reverses, but this does not signify that j they have lost the power which was i known to the Moscovite empire before j the war; it does not mean that the j Japanese have acquired by result of j recent victories such supremacy as to make the Russian empire consider | them a truly redoubtable enemy." M. Witte recognizes the good quali ties of the Japanese military, naval and administration organizations and does not believe any other European nation would have been able to resist Japan as Russia has done. "It must be taken into consideration," said M. Witte, "that the Japanese had been preparing themselves for war for about ten years, while Russia was en tirely unprepared. "Even as things stand, the. Japanese have not made such progress as is generally believed; in fact, they would have to advance four times as much as they have done in the last year and a half to reach Russia proper. "But they are very far from this, and the more they advance north the more the respective conditions of the Russians and the Japanese will be re versed." FEDERAL AID IS GRANTED. The Government. Will Take Charge of the Yellow Fever Fight. Washington, Aug. 5. —President Roosevelt last night forwarded to Sur geon General Wyman, of the marine hospital service, a telegram from Gov. Blanchard, of Louisiana, requesting that the United States government take control of the yellow fever situa tion in New Orleans. The president directed the surgeon general to take every step in his power to meet the situation in New Orleans. New Orleans, Aug. s.—Fever report to 0 p. ni. Friday. New cases, 43.
