It is a matter of prido and gratifica tion that American table waters have forged to the front as among the best in the world. In point of fact, they are probably the very best. Fine table wa ters are to a largo and rapidly increas ing extent displacing spirituous bever ages at mealtime, a gaiu alike for temjierance and for health. So pure nrid wholesome, so refreshing and so [mi In table are the table waters of the 1:1 States that ail imported waters 112 by contrast. Yet foreign waters continue to be imported in large quan tities as the result of habit and preju dice rather than of intelligent discrim ination. It is quite within tlie truth to say that the people of this country could get along very well Indeed if not a drop of foreign table water ever came through the custom house. And yet the pending reciprocity treaty with France foolishly provides for a 20 per cent reduction of the tariff on mineral waters! There might be some excuse for this proposition if America was suf fering for lack of a native supply of such waters. But the contrary Is the case. That fact having been demon si!;: led by chemical analysis and use, i '.spin remains for inviting the in created importation of foreign waters. I.et us have less rather than more. It would be an excellent thing and a pa triotic and sensible thing, too, if Amer icans should insist that native table wrMers be provided at all banquets and dinners. Why not? Good protection ists make a point of urging the use an<l consumption of domestic products. That rule should be applied to table waters. America has the best in the world, and Americans should use them. ('OKt of Llviuir nnd Vimn. Cost of living, according to Dun's index number of commodity prices, was sf>7.S9l on Aug. 1 against $99.45t> a month previous and $100,177 a year The decline is quite general, meats heiilg lower tl an at any time since No vember, 1901. And yet free traders continue to claim that the cost of living is constantly advancing with no cor responding increase in wages. The op posite. however, is the case. It is true th;;t the cost of living is still higher than during the last free trade era, but s;'|ipo*c.we carry our comparison fur ther liiick with a view to finding the changes in prices and wages. What to day costs $07,891. in 1860 cost $I1.",191; in - INTO, $148,781; in 1880, $106,655. And yet who will deny that wages juv twice what they were in 18t'>0 or much greater than in 1870 or 1880 or I .><!? "American wages," says the • \ \v York Times in a recent editorial, "have continually risen of late very rapidly and largely." Cost of living varies and fluctuates, hilt wages under protection rise "con tinually, rapidly and largely." It is a condition never known under free trade either abroad or at home. It is a condi tion that follows protection only, and when such a condition exists and its cause is known why interfere with that cause. Let well enough alone. No Enconrn^euient.

Ferrer Ecroyd in the London Spectator states the home appreciation of free trade in the following Words: "We say it is wrong to import goods which these people ought to be em ployed In making, wrong to let Ameri can and other protection compel the transfer of Industries and capital to 1 their shores which might well have fur nished sorely needed employment here. And no Increase of income from these foreign Investments can console us for the needless misery and degradation existing here."
