Americans and Marriage.
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

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."

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.

whose body was found recently in the
East river, New York, died an embez
