Carolyn Rapelyea, writing on"Amer ican Complexities," in the current number of Ainslee's, speaks especially of the American attitude toward mar riage. This she says is one of the chief of our complexities. "No people in the world," remarks the lady, "re gard marriage so romantically. More over, our ideas of what are to be ex pected in marriage are essentially un like foreign ideas. Here, as much as anything else, lies the cause of so many international failures." Miss Rapelyea thinks the number of di vorces in America does not necessar ily indicate that the numbc-r of un fortunate marriages i 3 greater here than elsewhere, but only that our ideas of what is to be endured are different. "Rut to understand this is difficult, as it is also true that there is .a tendency for Americans to re gard the marriage ties as less per manently binding than do people in Europe. They are more inclined to break their vows and yet stay mar ried; we to dissolve the marriage if the vows are broken. We do not re gard the thing in the same way, and in an international marriage such dif ferences in point of view are exceed ingly dangerous. "Viewed superfi cially, the American character and American social life may seem simple, easy to comprehend, yet they abound in contradictions, are full of complex ities. Much that is clearly felt and tacitly recognized has not yet been defined. No wonder that we are a per petual, though fascinating, puzzle for foreigners. We are sometimes a puz zle even to ourselves." Phonetic Spelling. It is held creditable to spell in the fashion of the lexicographers, but it is really discreditable, if to defy law and order is infamy, says D. W. Howells, in Harper's Magazine. A child is punished if it obeys an instinct and spells phonetically, but it ought to be rewarded, and its instinctive or thography reverently studied in the hope of some hint for the ameliora tion of the abuse under which we all suffer. The actual English spelling does not spell anything, really; it is a kind of picture writing in which cer tain groups of letters symbolize cer tain sounds without representing them. This difference between our spelling and our speech is such that the lexicographer finds his burden divided between orthography and or thoepy, and yet doubled in the fail ure to show how the printed word shall be spoken. For the literary artist, who wishes to indicate dialect variations, the system is worse than useless; he must frame a convention and trust the reader's intelligence for its acceptance before he can hope to suggest tho accents he has in mind. Nothing worse could be said of our spelling than that it does not spell; that is quite enough to condemn it. If it fulfilled its office, one might not repine at its manifold difficulties; but it breaks down at the first step, and at every step. It is a failure which nothing but the immense powers of the race which suffers it couid re pair. Tastes in Gigars. The public taste for cigars varies in different localities and countries, and in all the large factories cigars are conditioned to suit the demands of the country to which they are to be sent. In Europe, more especially in the Rritish isles, the consumer of cigars requires that they should be dry, in fact, almost brittle. IJ is a common incident in that country to see a smoker take his cigar and place it to his ear to see if it will give forth a crackling sound, and if it does not crackle, the cigar is con sidered too moist. Pipe smoking to baccos, however, are required very moist. In the United States the prop er condition for cigars and pipe smok ing tobaccos is just the reverse, says Science. The American smokrr re quires his cigars in such a condition that the wrapper, binder and filler will yield to the pressure of tho fin gers without cracking or breaking the wrapper; while, on the other nand, the smoking tobaccos especially the granulated tobaccos, must be mod erately dry. BRYAN SCANDALIZED HIS NATURE REVOLTS AT HUMAN SELFISHNESS. He Would Have People Stop Voting for a Protective Tariff Merely Be cause It Helps Business and Makes Everybody Pros perous and Happy. Mr. Bryan is scandalized at the thought that men should vote to main tain a protective tariff from mere sel fishness, to gratify the greed of gain. Manufacturers do it because they prosper under protection and are ruined by federal trade. Wage earners do it because there is plenty of work at high wages under protection, while under froe trade there is little work and much lower wages. Farmers do it because everything they own and have to sell has a far higher market value under protection than under free trade. Merchants do it because they can Bell more goods and make more money under protection than under free trade. Railroad and steamboat men do it because they carry more freight and passengers and earn higher dividends under protection than under free trade. Doctors, lawyers and preachers do it because more coin conies their way under protection than under free trade. Now all this, says Mr. Bryan, is rad ically wrong. It denotes a low moral tone. Rightly considered it is little better than pocket-picking or safe blowing. People should vote for a principle, not for personal advantage. It is a sad world wo live in, truly. Mr. Bryan's altruistic nature and sen sitive soul are appalled at the wicked ness of it. He sees but one remedy: Banish protection and bring in free trade. But, wait a bit. Are we not told by the superior thinkers that protection is a clog? That with free trade we should all be richer and happier? That our country has prospered, not because but in spite of tho protective policy? That only when we get free tcade shall we be really and truly prosperous? How about that, Mr. Bryan? Is there not, then, greater peril to our im mortal souls in free trade than in pro tection? How shall we dare to vote for free trade if it is going to increase our wealth? Herein are some sore perplexities for those who would like to be truly good. If we faro better we shall fare worse. Like the man hiding from the police, if we are found we shall be lost. Mr. Bryan's remedy will not work. It does not point Ihe way to the beati tudes. Quite otherwise; it threatens to make us criminals of a deeper dye. Under all the circumstances it is probably wiser not to be too altruistic. The safer course is to stick to protec tion. As the worldly minded would say, stand pat! Not Made in London. A statement in the Daily Consular and Trade Reports of August 28, is sued by the bureau of manufactures, department of commerce and labor, very effectually dispels the illusion that the best dressed of Americans have their clothes made in London. Recently "a leading West End tailor," writing to the London Mail, asserted that "few Americans who can afford It, and who prize style, quality and fit, order their clothes anywhere else but in London." The absurdity of this pretension is Bhown in the British export statistics. Out of a grand total of articles of wearing apparel valued at $23,224,300 exported to all the countries of the earth in 1905, the exports to the United States amounted to a paltry $275,000. Of this only $93,000 repre sented goods made of wool, or wool mixed with other materials. It is probable that this sum when reduced to $50,000 would cover all the clothing made for well-dressed Americans by fashionable London tailors. The fact that Americans are the best dressed people in the world, cou pled with the fact that probably 99.9 per cent, of all the clothes worn by American men is made by American tailors, points unerringly to the con clusion that American tailors are the best in tho world. It is also a fact that tho ready-made clothing of the United States surpasses in lit, style and quality the made-to-order clothing of the rest of the world. Early Autumn Fruit. Evidences of the "unrest" that we have heard so much about are not vis ible in Vermont and Wisconsin. In both of these states the protection party seems to be on a perfectly level keel. Vermont has just elected the regular Republican candidate for gov ernor by the customary majority against an independent candidate who appealed especially to the unrestful element. Wisconsin's Republican pri mary elections have resulted in the nomination of a candidate for gover nor directly opposed to La Follette's tariff ripping tendencies. It looks as though the stand-pat campaign was the right tiling. Certainly it is bear ing some excellent early autumn fruit. If the president is not a "stand patter," he is as near it as the aver age Republican. He doesn't regard tariff schedules as something that should be held sacred and inviolable, but he does think that it would be madness to jeopardize general busi ness by an assault upon the tariff which conditions do not warrant. — Lawrence Telegram. CAMERON COUNT V PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1906 BRYAN'S FREE TRMDE ALLIES. Disgruntled Trusts Will Help Him to Break Down the Price of Labor. As Mr. Bryan has not recanted In tho matter of the tariff, he is still for free trade, and as he is the recognized leader of his party, indeed its dictator, the policy he favors will bo carried out to the letter should the next congress in its lower branch be won by the Democrats. And Mr. Bryan is very likely to have some allies who will be new 011 that side of the fight. if ex orbitant trust prices are to be forced down by law, it is certain the monop olists will move at. once to cut down the wages of their workmen. Some of them argue already that while tho price of gas and electricity has been cut down in response to public de mands, the cost of living in the matter of rents and as to other items has been forced up by the general pros perity. Most of the monopolistic trusts, including the beef trust and the railroad trust, want revenge on Presi dent Roosevelt and the Republicans because of the strong reformative legislation passed by the last congress. They will do everything in their power to help Mr. Bryan elect Democratic congressmen, because the big cut in the tariff sure to follow if the Demo crats control will permit the competi tion of foreign cheap labor, and oper ate to reduce the wages of American workmen at once. The monopolistic trusts care for the tariff only as long as they are protected and are able to gather in the lion's share of the protits. The policy of President Roose velt and the Republicans back of liim in congress, which forces a proper di vision of the profits of protection be tween capital and labor, and insists if there must be unequal division, the actual producer, that i 3, tlici working man, shall be the chief beneficiary, has enraged the monopolists, in re venge they will use their influence to elect Bryan free trade Democratic congressmen, so that a reduction may be made in tho price of American labor to meet the competition from abroad. Republican congressmen stand committed to the principle of protec tion, and will be found defending the tariff, and* defending it the more strongly the more drastic is the inter nal legislation framed to insure a bet ter distribution of the profits arising under it to the actual producers. A vote for a Democratic congressman this year will be a vote to cut down the wages of the American working man.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Queer Sort of Protectionism. In an interview with the Louisville Courier-Journal, a leading free trade newspaper, ex-Senator Washburn, oi Minnesota, declares himself in favor of immediate revision of the tariff and "a broad and comprehensive provision for the negotiation of treaties of reci procity." Incidentally he remarks that there is no need of protection eithei on steel rails or wheat. As showing how valuable this testimony should be to the free trade party he adds: "It may be unnecessary for me tc ' say that I am a lifelong Republican ! and an ardent defender of the princi ple of tho protective tariff." We should say that this statement was, on the contrary, very necessary. No one would suspect the gentleman of being an ardent defender of the principle of the protective tariff. As a railroad president interested in buy ing steel rails in the cheapest market, and being also largely interested in the profits of grinding free wheat from Canada, Mr. Washburn cannot be said to have been passionately devoted to protection for the last 12 or 15 years. Ever since the people of Minnesota made up their minds to dispense with his services as United States senator he has had his doubts about protec tion. He regards it as all right in principle but all wrong in operation. It is a long time, however, since it mattered very much what Mr. Wash burn thought about any public ques tion. A Specific Illustration. That the protective tariff creates monopolies is a charge many times repeated by the opponents of protec tion. That protection encourages and builds up competition in the United States is the claim of friends of that policy, and proof of that claim is given in the existence of manufactur ing competition in this country such as no other nation possesses. A spe cific illustration of the power of pro tection in the way of building up com petition is shown in the fact that the great United States Steel company has been recently beaten in competition with the Midvale company for an im portant government contract. The Midvale company is a comparatively new competitor for large contracts To provide competition by making it possible for all American manufac turers to grow and prosper, seems a more desirable way than to weaken home efforts by admitting foreign competition, with all the differences in wages and other values which the latter involves. Practical experienco proves that the American way is the best way.—Adrian (Mich.) Times. A Bad Year. This is a bad year for American la bor to commit any political follies. It is a bad year to hold the door open for tariff changes. It is certainly a bad year to withhold hearty support from the Republican party, that has created all the wonderful prosperity that work ingmen enjoy—and that is the opinion, too, of the great majority of working men, who will vote for Republican tariff protection, as they always do.— Newark Advertiser. In 18G4 the Republican party re elected Lincoln, vindicated his ag gressive war policy, and declared thai slavery must be abolished. GOOD CATCH Is Made by the Immigra tion Authorities. THE YACHT FROLIC And Part of Her Cargo of Chinamen are Captured—Three of the Crew are Arrested. Providence, R. I.—Eighteen China men who were arrested Wednes day after the capture by the United States immigration authorities of the schooner yacht Frolic, for which reve nue cutters have been searching along tho New England coast for the last two weeks, were held last night by United States Commissioner Cross in SI,OOO bail each for examination next Wednesday. All the men declared that they had been in the United States before, but that their certifi cates of residence had been lost, some in New York City and others in the tire in San Francisco. This declaration contradicted a I statement made by John C. Lehne rnann, of Boston, one of the men ar ■ rested for complicity in the smug gling operations, that the Chinamen brought by the Frolic from Newfound land came to that country direc'. from China. Edward Junkins, of Boston, and William A. Duncan, of Some.'.iile, Mass., who were arrested as members of the crew of the Frolic, and Lehne niann, who was captured 011 shore, where he is said to have been engaged in an effort to dispose of the smug gled Chinamen, were not arraigned. Twenty-four other Chinamen were passengers on the Frolic and are be lieved to be hiding in the Chinese quarter in this city, but immigration inspectors have been unable to locate them. Lehnemann made statements which, if true, indicate that the smuggling of Chinese into New England states has been carried on for years with great profit. He stated that an expedition like that of the Frolic netted about 315,000 clear of all expenses. Serious charges also were made by Lehne mann in connection with the ease with which Chinese can be landed on the shores of New England. Asked how the smugglers were able to evade the officials, he answered: "That's easy. Most places in New England are 'fixed' and we don't have any trouble." FAILED FOR's3,ooo,ooo. Ceballos & Co., New York Bankers and Merchants, Are Forced to Assign. New York.—The assignment of J. M. Ceballos & Co., bankers and merchants, with liabilities be tween 5U.000.000 and $4,000,000 was announced Wednesday in a statement which declared that the failure was due to the defalcation and absconding of Manuel Silveira, of Silveira & Co., Havana, agents of the New York com pany. Silveira's defalcation is alleg ed to amount to about $1,000,000. He sailed from Havana on October 2, ostensibly for New York City to con sult with the members of J. M. Cebal los & Co., but has not reached this city. Counsel for the assignee said that Silveira has left on his own steamer for parts unknown, accom panied by his wife and children, and that every effort was being made to locate him. The assignee is William V. Rowe, of the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, of this Mr. Rowe said that the assets of the firm were of a very sub stantial character, but from a hasty examination it was manifest that they would require careful husbanding. Ac countants are now at work on the books of the company. It was stated unofficially that there was ground to hope that the assets would be suf cient to cover the losses of the firm and that it would be enabled to re sume business. J. M. Ceballos & Co. was established about 50 years ago and has large in terests in Cuba, chiefly in the develop ment of railroads and sugar planta tions. CUBS WON SECOND GAME. Chicago Nationals Defeated the Amer icans by a Score of 7 to 1. Chicago, 111. —In the second game of the world's championship series Wednesday the Chicago Na tional league team took decisive re venge for Tuesday's defeat, when they vanquished the American league team on the latter's grounds, 7 to 1. White and Owen, who replaced White in the fourth inning, were batted freely, and the American league team's errors also helped to in crease the Nationals' score. Reulbach on the contrary was in fine form and allowed the opposing batsmen only two hits. Is Said to Have Embezzled $500,000. Philadelphia, Pa.—According to a statement which the Public Ledger oublishes to-day, on the authority of a member of the Wampole Co., Henry K. Wam pole, the drug manufacturer whose body was found recently in the East river, New York, died an embez sler of $500,000. Cossacks Sold Arms to Revolutionists. Warsaw.
