The population of Morocco can only be guessed. No census has ever been taken. The best authorities estimate the inhabitants to number about 7, COO,OOO. . j There are British, German and French postoffices in the principal towns of Morocco. The Moorish gov ernment has no postofßce of its own. Mail for the government is carried from town to town and from vi'laga to village by special carriers. The government will order "open ings" this year of a total of 505,000 acres of Indian reservation lands. Bills providing for these have passed in the house. The lands covered are In Oklahoma, being portions of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reserva tions. Probably the most varied and val uable collection of jewels and precious etones in the world is that which has come into the possession of the Pope at Rome by right of succession. For centuries many nations have contrib- j uted to this hoard of gems, until now St is estimated that the jewels of tho Vatican have a value of at least $200,-1 000,000. Cincinnati pays more per capita in life insurance premiums than any other city in America, according to the conclusion of an expert employed by the Ohio Life Policy Owners' Asso ciation—paying over $4,000,000 last year. The rate per capita of the prin- j cipal cities is: Cincinnati, 10.77; Bos ton, 10.74; New York, 6.67; St. Louis, €.48; Philadelphia, 6.12; Chicago, 4.08.: In an almost perfect state of pres ervation and easily recognizable, the ilead body of a guide named Nagi, a native of Aosta, Italy, who fell into a crevasse in 1877, near the summit of Monte Rosa, has just been recovered from the ice. Nagi was descendinc; the mountain in company with two Milanese Alpinists when he suddenly disappeared, and the cord which hound him to the others was cut by a ■harp piece of ice. Report has spread abroad that the United States dollar-presses at the mints stopped after printing copies, and that these pieces of money made their escape, and are now somewhere In the great ocean of circulation. The attorney-general says that any man who is proved to have passed a United j State dollar bearing date of 1905 will be punished for passing counterfeit money, for the director of the mint says not a single silver dollar was coined in 1905. In 1885 congress authorized thee» tablishment of a'ii elaborate system ol coast fortifications. Since then the government has spent $119,000,000 on the enterprise—s(s4,ooo,ooo on defenses and $55,000,000 for gun factories, sites for fortifications, torpedoes, gun tests, and for defenses of insular posses- j sions. A congressman who has stud-1 led the question carefully declares j that when the present scheme of forti-! flcations is completed 4G,000 men will be required for the defenses, at an annual expense of $50,000,000. Secretary Taft Is the champion J long-distance traveler of modern times. Since he became governor of the Philippines, in May, 1900, Secre-i tary Taft has traveled at least 100,000 miles in pursuance of his official du ties. Of the time required for his Journeyings, 360 days were spent at sea and eix full weeks in railway trains. In the course of his first trip to the Philippines Secretary Taft j made a journey of 5,500 miles around the islands, establishing provincial government*. His original trip out by way of Shanghia and Hong Kong cov ered nearly 12.000 miles.

Folk, of Kansas, Is Prosperity Pro moting Protection. At a I )emocratlc banquet in Kansas Gov. Folk made a bit lor attack upon the protective tariff principle. In his remarks on grafting he s|>oke of"the tariff grafters, with thoir millions of ill-gotten wealth, wrung from the peo ple by means of special privileges given them by law." Mr. Folk, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has harped on "tariff robbers" in previous speeches in Ohio, and Massachusetts. A protective tariff excites him to vitu perative anger. Mr. Folk is a free trader. In his attitude as a public man this is the most significant fact, because it is the direction in which he could work the greatest damage if he had the power. He Is against all pro tection. He would not resort to it to protect American wages, or for any other purpose. If the matter rested with him, protection would be wiped out at a blow. He calls it robbery and its results the accumulations of graft. It is the extreme free trade view, with the addition of abusive rancor. Pro tection is Folk's pet aversion, and he bubbles over with epithets when he refers to it. It is a matter of consequence to put a distinct mark on politicians who have this capacity for mischief to the country's industrial interests and pros perity. In most cases, in these times, Democratic speakers are shy about coming out flat-footed for free trade. They prefer to talk about tariff revi sion or reciprocity. But Mr. Folk was born and raised in a southern state, where the Democrats accept the South Carolina view that protection is some thing utterly depraved. Mr. Folk de nounces it as criminal, as a robbery conducted by grafters loaded with ill gotten wealth wrung from the people by legalized special privileges. He has taken his stand for absolute free trade, and it will count for more than any tring else in estimates of his public purposes. Missouri has a great stake in protected industries. Its manufac turing interests have increased im mensely and keep on growing. Sup pose Mr. Folk had his way, and ripped them up with free trade? Would Mis sourians gain or lose by that cataclys mic act? Would every wheel continue to turn? Would employment at the best wages continue to be abundant? The answer is self-evident. The soup house era of a dozen years ago would return. Factories would again shut down. The dinner pail would be empty. There would be two or three men for every job. There would be misery and ruin on every hand, as in the free trade period between 1893 and the defeat of that prosperity-killing party. How would the zinc and lead miners of Missouri like to get another slice of free trade times? Mr. Folk beckons tiiera on, but would they follow such a guide? Would the great manufactur ing population of Missouri take a bait like that? It would be a mad thing to do. a tossing away of the highest known prosperity for the opposite, as fully demonstrated in the last Demo cratic administration, when, with ev ery department of the government in their hands, the free trade Democratic party plunged the country into a mo rals of idleness and want. It was a return to protection that extricated it. Mr. Folk proposes to take the back track, but he will find few in Mis souri, outside of the South Carolina tariff school, to accept his invitation. A serious threat of free trade in this country would convulse it to its deep est Industrial foundations. CRITICISM AND COMMENT.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1906. | CLAIMED BY ER YANITES. Credit of the Ruihoad-Bnte Issue Is Taken by Democrats in Con press. 1 From ,tlip viewpoint of the political 1 maneuvering, one may applaud the i claim of the Democrats in congress, • and the use they are making of it, ' that the railroad rate issue is of Demo cratic parentage, says the Washing -1 ton Star. It may not bear the closest i examination, for the populists wera 1 busy in that field years ago. But it is true that within the past few years the Bryan wing of the Democracy, tak ing its cue from its leader, has had a good deal to say on the subject, an I as the populists have all but entirely disappeared, their imprint is faint And, anyhow, Mr. Bryan has always been half populist, and may fairly maintain the right to dabble in pop ulist doctrine. It is to be questioned, however, i! those Republicans are wise who are using Mr. Bryan as a bugaboo in the premises; who are insisting upon a particular line of conduct by assert ing that if that line is not taken smash is just ahead for their party, and Mr. Bryan will be the next presi dent of the United States. To sound that note is virtually to concede ail that is claimed for Mr. Bryan by tha most active of his supporters and as sist them in their campaign for his renomination. For if only this rate i bill stands between Mr. Bryan and j the White House, he is reasonably cer- ' tain to occupy the comfortable man- 1 sion. This is true, for the reason that no : matter what bill may be passed by , congress, the railroads will challenge j it in the courts, with the most for midable array of legal talent ever em- ! played in this country. If the bill holds, then the Bryanites will quote Republicans as conceding that it was Bryan pressure that passed it.it it fails, and other legislation is neces sary, then the Bryanites will claim that they are the proper ones to give [ the people the remedy required. It is the duty of the Republicans to ! give the country a sound and sincera ! statute on this subject. While not the only issue before the country, it is perhaps the most important of all at this time, and certainly the one most talked about. To trifle with it, there fore, would be to alienate public con fidence. If a coach-and-six can ba driven through the law, the team is all j ready togo through, and if it does go | through good-by to the men who shall j have arranged the opening. TARIFF AND THE SOUTH. Industrial Prosperity Chiefly Re sponsible for Protection Sentiment. While some New Englanders are de manding tariff revision, an increasing number of enterprising and progressive men in the south are favoring adherence to the policy of a protective tariff. The change in southern sentiment in this particular is very noticeable and highly significant, says the Denver Republican. President Roosevelt's personal popu larity in the south is no doubt working wonders among the people of that sec tion in respect to their attitude toward J political issues and parties. The fact i that the Republican party advocates J protection and the further fact that its ! most conspicuous representative at the j present time is President Roosevelt j makes many southern men feel more j kindly toward the organization. They i may not be prepared to announce them- j selves as Republicans, but they certain- j ly no longer look upon a southern Re- j publican as a traitor to his section of the j country. Industrial development in the south I is, however, chiefly responsible for the | growing sentiment in favor of protec tion. Cotton manufacturing and the production of iron and steel have in creased enormously, and thus a manu facturing class composed of both capi talists and laborers has developed in j that section. It. is but natural if these people are as much in favor of protec tion as their competitors in other parts of the country. Pacification of Germany. There will be no "tariff war" be- J tween the United States and Germany. This appears to bo practically cer tain as a result of conferences at Washington between Secretary of State Root, Secretary of the Treasury Shaw and Bai-on Speck von Stern berg. the German ambassador. It 1 was made clear at thes'- consultations that neither country desired to enter j into a profitless contest over the ques- j 1 tion of tariff rates, and that both par- | j ties were in a conciliatory spirit. At 1 ; the same time., the United States stood | j firm on the principle involved —that | Jit could not grant Germany any fa- i j vors under tariff rulings that would I not be given to other countries. Cer tain provisions of the law may he in [ terprete 1 liberally, but all must share ! alike in that interpretation. There seems to be 110 doubt that Germany will accept the situation and will not : enforce its new tariff in a way to dis criminate injuriously against Amerl- J can imports.—Troy Times. E' r W. J.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA A Desperately Serious Case Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Brought to tho very verge of starva tion by tho rejection of ull nourishment, i her vitality almost destroyed, tho re covery of Mrs. J. A. Wyatt, of No. 118!) Seventh street, Des Moines, lowa, seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly failed to reach tho seat of tho difficulty and death must have resulted if sho had not pursued au independent courso sug gested by her sister's experience. Mrs. Wyatt says : "I had pain in the region of the heart, palpitation and shortness of breath so that I could not J walk very fast. My head ached very badly and I was seized with vomiting spells whenever I took any food. A doc tor was called who pronounced the j trouble gastritis, but ho gave 1110 no re lief. Then I tried a second doctor with- j out benefit. By this time I had become very weak. I could not keep the most delicate broth 011 my stomach, and at tho end of a month I was scarcely more than skin and bono and wus really starv ing to death. "Then I recalled how much benefit my sister had got from Dr. Williams' Pink ; Pills and elecided to take them in place of the doctor's medicine. It proved a wise decision for they helped me as nothing else had done. Soon I could tako weak tea and crackers and steadily more nourishment. In two weeks I was able to leave my bed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were tho only thing that checked the vomiting and as soon as that was stopped my other difficulties left 1110. I have a vigorous appetite now and am able to attend to nil tho duties of my home. I praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People to all my friends because I am thoroughly convinced of their merit."

Seal skins to the number of 3,128 ! were shipped from Alaska last sea son. During the year 1904 Siam exported more than $12,000,000 worth of rice. ' Teakwood is second in value. Last year's output of new ships in England (steam and sail) was 515, with a tonnage of 1,355,756, as against 403 ships in 1904, with a tonnage of 1,- 049,860. The foreign trade of Philadelphia last year reached an aggregate of al- | most $140,000,000, an increase of about $4,000,000 in exports and $14,000,000 imports, largely materials for usa In American factories. The report of the Mexican minister \ of finance shows the revenue for the ! fiscal year ending June 30 to have been $92,083,886, with disbursements of $79,- 152,795. The revenue for the current year is estimated at $90,073,500, and expenditures $89,897,390. Tientsin stands second among the j treaty ports of China in the gros? value of the trade that passes through j the port, and also In the amount of [ revenue collected by the customs. In ! so far as American goods are concern ed, Tientsin even has a rival claim on Shanghai for first place. The Chinese boycott of American flour is operating to the advantage of sailing vessels 011 the Pacific, coast. It results in a smaller demand for flour, which in large quantities has been shipped across the Pacific by steam- j ships. In consequence a larger amount of wheat is being shipped by sailing vessels. The total commerce between the United States and France amounted in the fiscal year 1905 to $166,000,000, of which $76,000,000 represented exports to France, and $90,000,000 imports from that country. The United States exported to France nearly all the cop per and cotton used by that country, the total amount of these two articles being about $48,000,000. | A NECESSARY EVIL. Experience of a Minister Who Tried to Think That of Coffee. "A descendant of the Danes, a na- j tifcn of coffee drinkers, I used coffee freely till I was 20 years old," writes a clergyman from lowa. "At that tima 1 was u student at a Biblical Institute, and suddenly became aware of the fact j that my nerves had become demoral- j ized, my brain dull and sluggish and j that insomnia was fastening its hold j upon me. "I was loath to believe that these things came from the coffee I was drinking, but at last was forced to that conclusion, and quit it. "1 was su accustomed to a hot table ' beverage and felt the need of it so j much, that after abstaining front cof fee for a time and recovering my health, I went back to it.l did this several times, but always with disas trous results. I had about made up my ! mind that coffee was a necessary evil. "About this time a friend told me j that I would find Postum Food Coffee very fine and in many respects away ahead of coffee. So I bought some and, making it very carefully according to the directions, we were delighted to find that lie had not exaggerated in the least. From that day to this we have j liked it better than the old kind oi j coffee or anything else in the way ot j a table drink. "Its use gave me.
