Vice Consul Kinchant furnishes fiom Lisbon the census figures of Portugal taken in December, 1900, and just published. The population was j 5,01 c.207. including the Azores. The percentage of illiteracy was 71 per cent, for the males and S5 per cent, for the females. The government, ; however, is bestirring itself on the ! educational question. The foreign residents in Portugal numbered 39,- SSi, of whom 66 were Americans. Easter Novelty. A novelty in Easter eggs is one of glass that is electrically lighted . Such eggs are made in white, of frost ed and in various colors, to glow when the light is turned on in them, j They are lighted by means of a flexi ble conductor which may be at tached to any electric light fixture and which is made long enough to per mit placing them wherever it may be desired. Burmese Wives. The Burmese woman must make an excellent wife. A Singapore paper says that her highest ambition is to maintain her husband in lordly idle ness and to support him with abun dant funds for cock fighting, bullock cart racing and gambling. And many of the Burmese women do big deals in timber, buying up in advance the j "paddy" crops of a whole district, and | fo on.on a scalj that requires big financing. Important Questions.

Protection of Home Industries Does Not Mean Unfair Discrimina tion Against Foreign. The recent adjustment of tariff mat ters between the United States and Germany by which all occasion fot friction in the interchange of products lias been disposed of is eminently sat isfactory, considered from either an economic or a political point of view. Everything that tends to make more harmonious the relations between na tions is to be welcomed, and the better understanding that is one of the re sults of the negotiations in question is not the least gratifying feature. And there is another point. It can not have escaped the attention of those observant of world movement? that it is much easier for the United States to reach such understandings than was the case formerly. From time to time there arise little differ ences, but they are always readily disposed of when frankly considered. The truth is, says the Troy Times, that the nations of the earth have come to a deep appreciation of the value of American trade. The idea that the advantages are all on one side and that severe restrictions upon the admission to foreign countries of American products is beneficial to the domestic interests of those countries has been effectually disposed of by ex periences that have proved the oppo site. This does not involve discussion of the principle of protection to home industries, for the United States, hav ing adopted that policy, has neither the desire nor the justification for op posing it when tried elsewhere. Pro tection, adjusted to the varying re quirements of the nations that, adhere to the system, unquestionably is pro ductive of good, and the fact that it is so generally practiced is its vindica tion. But production of home productions does not mean unfair discrimination against those of foreign countries. The continental nations of Europe, with Canada on this side of the ocean and far-off Australia, all have protective tariffs of one kind or another, yet that fact does not prevent American goods from having a large sale there any more than the Dingky protective tariff prevents enormous imports from other countries into the United States The truth is that there are many things in other parts of the world that we want and which it is to our advantage to buy, and the United States is a market which few nation would care to lose, while the articles obtained here are the most satisfactory to foreign purchasers. That is the ! secret of the world's unwillingness to ! get up "tariff wars" or any other sort of commercial disagreement. A breezy writer 011 this subject puts if thus: "Americans aro hardly aware of the position secured by their country during the years since the civil war. The habits of mind which grew out of our subordinate position i when we were divided by slavery and ! cramped by its ally, free trade, still cling to us, and we hesitate to count i up the elements of our strength and ■ influence. The America of yesterday i was a farming country, with a small | aeumulation of material wealth as | the outcome of centuries of saving and toil. The America of to-day is the most populous, the wealthiest and the most powerful among the civilized ' nations. We are the first manufac turing country of the world, and of our immense exports 35 per cent. i 3 j manufactures, where ten years ago ; it was but 20 per cent. . . . There is no country in the world which can afford to try issues with us in a con flict of tariffs. No country is so im portant to us as we are to it." That may seem over-enthusiastic and self-assertive, but it does not ex j aggerate. Nor does it imply any but the friendliest and fairest spirit to j ward contemporaries. It recognizes the situation as it is, and shows that oth.er countries need us in their busi- I ness and that our trade and good will i are valuable. OPINIONS OF THE EDITORS.

There is one sure way to get the : tariff revised. Even the Republican 1 revisionists know well what it is. It j is nothing more or less than voting the Democratic ticket. Here's predict- ! ing that if Massachusetts would elect a Democratic governor and a majority j of Democratic congressmen for the 1 next three or four years tho tariff would be revised 'n a hurry, even by its friends. The way to get some thing in this country is lo vote for it rather than mope for it. The ballot was made for exactly such a purpose. There is only one way to revise the tariff —rote the Democratic ticket, the wicked Democratic ticket. It beats the world as a protest.—Springfield Republican. Supposing all of which to bo true, then of course history would repeat itself, and history is always illuminat ing and instructive. A majority of the people Voted the Democratic ticket in 1892 and they got a revision of the tariff by the congress they elected. The first voters of 1006 were not old enough in 1593-1897 to realize fully what Democratic tariff revision meant and would mean now. It's a long story, a cruel story, but a story with which the new voters should famil iarize themselves before they cast I their ballots next November. Then, there Is the story of 1844 and the far ift's of 1840 and 1857. The history of that time is much like the hstory of 1592 and the tariff of 1894. Un doubtedly the Republican is right when It says the way to get the tariff revised is to vote the Democratic j ticket—that Is, for a majority to vote it. But the more voters study his tory the less inclined will thoy be to vote that ticket. The fact is, says the American Economist, that only a few politicians, doctrinaires and self ish people want the tariff revised. The large majoritiy of our farmers, our laborers, our manufacturers, our mer chants and people In general are per fectly satisfied with the tariff as it is, And incidentally it might be said that Massachusetts, even by going Demo- j cratic, cannot make a tariff for the 1 other states. She would do better to remain Republican and protectionist. BENEFITS OF EDUCATION. Theorists in Canada Receive Surpris ing Enlightenment on Pro tective Tariff. The Canadian Tariff commission is giving hearings in Toronto, and there have come out some points whi/ ti sur prise the theorists. Here is one of the points, taken from a non-political re port of the proceedings of that tarifl commission: "Here may be noted one remarkable fact about the inquiry in Toronto as weil as in Montreal. In almost every case the manufacturer comes with fig ures which show that both the raw material and the finished product of his competitor in the United States sell at much lower prices than the prices current in Canada. It is the inference that it is cheaper to live and buy in j the United States than in Canada, and that American manufacturers do not push prices to the limit of their tariff protection, which averages nearly dou ble the Canadian protection, as do manufacturers in the Dominion." That knocks out from under the Democratic howlers another of theii props for a false position, says the Worcester Telegram. That is direct evidencQ from the outside that Ameri- ! can manufacturers do not take advan- j tage of the tariff protection to hold up the prices of their products as they have been accused of doing. Testimony | before the same commission showed that Canada demands more protection by tariff because the manufacturers oi the United States charge higher prices for their goods offered in Canada than they sell for in the United States. Thai j again knocks out the claims of the Democrats that the surplus of the tarifi protected industries is urged on foreign peoples at prices below what is charged in this country. Canada is giving the people of this country a liberal educa- j tion in tho benefits as well as the ne cessities of a protective tariff. And Canada is so near Massachusetts! j Whitney says it is nearer than New . York state. Doings of Democrats. Strange things are happening in thf 1 Democratic party. The "feeler" put j out by DeLancey Nicoll in New York j the other day, when he denounced Hearst and eulogized Bryan, has drawn out many interesting comments to show that the man from Nebraska stil! has a powerful bold on his party. What an outcome it would be if the "conser vative" Democrats, in fear of being j swallowed alive by the radical Hearst, j should rally around the once very ob- j jcctionable Mr. Bryan! And if the [ "conservatives" took to Bryan what | guarantee is there that the radicals wmild not desert the Nebraska leadei and flock to the standard of the mil lionaire social!: t? —Troy Times.
