SOME PHASES OF PEOTiCIIOH The peculiar and contradictory phases of protection have been brought prominently to view sinc& the question of wider foreign mar kets has been mooted and reciproc ity as one of the methods of bring ing that about has been discussed, but especially-since there has beep such a lively wrangle over Cuhali reciprocity. But all this simply shows what Govermental protection is when carried out to its logical re sult. - The professed and ostensible pur- pose in adopting protective tariff duties was to stimulate and foster mannfar.tnrinc enterprises in- this sountry until we became self de pendent and our manufactories be came strong enough to stand alone without any governmental pamper ing or support. I Whether our manufactories won! have increased as rapidly as they have or not without this protective stimulus is an open question, but probably not for there would not have been the same inducement !to invest money in them. Assuming, therefore, that the protective tariff has been a powerful agency in the development of our manufacturing industries, it was also a powerful agency in overdoing the businesss j by bnnging into existence more manufactories than the home mar ket could support, thus doing two things leading to combinations and consolidations to prevent injurious competicion, and making foreign markets a necessity to keep these manufactories running full time or anything like it. If they had. only the home market to consider they could very easily manage that for they could gauge their output in proportion to the demand, but there are a good many independent manu factories and consequently it is not practicable to cut down the forces employed and stop work when the home market is supplied. To keep running it is necessary to have for eign markets not only enough to take the surplus that cannot be consumed at home, but much more. To dispose of their goods in foreign markets they have to com pete with foreign manufacturers and sell as low or lower than their com petitors do. This they have been doing for some years and are doing now. Presumably they sell. these goods on a comparatively small mar gin of profit while their large profits are on the goods they sell at home. But the capacity for production is so large that they feel the necessity of more foreign markets, hence the necessity of reciprocity and as a necessary preliminary to this a mod ification of the protective tariff du ties. Here is where some of the pecu liar phases come in. They are all anxious for enlarged markets and hence favor reciprocity and as a pre liminary to that are in favor of tariff reduction, provided that reduc 18 made on the things that are made by others. They say that tariff reduc tions on articles made by the other fellows would be a splendid thing, but that it would seriously injure if it would not ruin them. That's what they all say. so that while they are warmly in favor of reel procity and of tariff reduction as the necessary step to that, they are op posed to any tariff, reduction that would touch them and consequently practically opposed to all tariff re duction and to Reciprocity and to enlarged markets. They want to hold alltbey have without' surrenl dering anything, and get all they ask without conceding anything in return. This is aptly illustrated iu the case of Cuba, over tariff conces sionsto which there has lor some time been such an animated discus sion. There is a fine market in that island for American machinery of various kinds, agricultural imple ments, flour, cotton goods, &c It is said that with satisfactory conces sions we could control nine , tenths of Cuba's trade. The men who make machinery, agri cultural implements, flour, cotton goods, &c are in favor of reciproc it y ana oi the tans concessions necessary to effect that. But when that is proposed the men who man ufacture sugar, grow tobacco and citrus ; fruits raise a howl and exclaim that tariff reduction on these things would ruin : them. They would be perfectly willing to see re ductions on anything else and - on everything else provided their sugar, tobacco and citrus fruits were ex empted and permitted to remain where they are, under the fostering care of protection. The manu facturers of machinery, agricultural implements, flour and cotton goods are also protected, some more and some less, so that here we have the protected confronting the protected, one demanding that the other yield and surrender for its benefit,' and r either willing to sacrifice the other for its benefit. -: " But this is one of the peculiar , and logical features of the piotec Jfcive tariff system V which taxes' one industry and" hampers ; ii for the benefit of another industry which is tronger and better able to do with out protection than the weaker in dustry is to be taxed for the benefit of the stronger one. When we get down to the essence of it the pro tective system is in effect one. to crush small industries for the bene fit of larger ones, and to prevent the expansion of trade claimed to be necessary for the prosperity of the industries claimed to have been called into existence by this protec tion. " Protection does this because its beneficiaries oppose such modifica tions of the tariff as -.would bring about reciprocity with other nations and open wider doors to our ex ports. Here is where the greed comes in which while recognizing the necessity of liberal pealing and concessions want others to do the liberal dealing and to make the concessions for their benefit. That is an illustration of protection and of Governmental naternalism when carried out to their logical conclusions. HOW TO UTILIZE TEE CONVICTS. The good roads question is a live one now in a good many States, North and South, for the people cave begun to realize the impor tance and value of good roads. In Virginia the people are waking up on it as thev are in this State, and shortly a Good Boads State Conven tion is to be held at Richmond, similar to the one held a short while ago in this State, when a resolution Was unanimously adopted favoring the employment of our State con victs in the building of roads. This way of employing convicts seems to be attracting attention in Virginia, too. as we eatner from a communication in the Bichmond Dispatch, from a citizen who taker the eround that this is the way to build roads. He begins his commu nication thus : "An era of road buildine is to be in titoted. It comes noae too soon. We are indebted to our new - Governor for the encouragement he gives. It Km in order to offer sursrestions. In Ken' tucky more than fifteen 7 ears ago. I noticed from the windows of the ears. numbers of convicts, elad in their stripes, busy at work on the roads, nd it seemed to stretch for miles. Io North Carolina, the success with which thev have been employed on on the roads around Charlotte, is well known. It seems to me the convicts from both jails and penitentiary might be profitably employed in such service in this 8ttte; all that could be spared from the penitentiary under present conditions, and especially those lodged in the jails in tbe towns and cities. The manner of their em ploy men t is a matter of detail: bnt one plan has often occurred to me. Tbe Bute abounds in cuffs and quar ries of ston. Many of these art on the lines of the railroads; put a camp of convicts at one of these to crush the stone, and I believe the railroads would haul it free of charge to stations along its line if tbe counties would then take it and with It build roads to such stations. In this manner the cost, too great ' for any one of the three, would, be distributed between the State, the railroads and the coun ties. Of course, what is said respect log the railroads depends on their pleasure; but from the ereat interest they have and manifest in the subject I believe they would be willing; to co operate to that extent. With rood roads, farms that now bring from $1 50 to $8 an acre, would readily sell for from $10 to $20." His suggestions as to putting numbers of convicts to7 work in quarries getting out and crushing stone for macadamizing are good ones for this State also where there is at many points an abundance of stone near railroads, and the rail roads would in all probability co operate here as he thinks they would in Virginia, thus dividing the expense of construction. What he says about the enhanced value of lands as a result of good roads has been demonstrated in Mecklenburg county, in this State, and in New Jersey, and in Indiana, in the sections where good roads have been built. speaking more especially oi our own State we rarely open one of onr State exchanges that we do not see some mention made of the horrible condition of the roads, making it almost impossible for the farmers to haul anything to the towns and as a result dull times and small sales by the merchants. All are losing money byJhe bad roads, which could be made good by proper and well di rected effort. Three frank D. Shoemakers, one from , Philadelphia, one from St. Louis and one from Butte, Montana, happened to strike a Chicago hotel simultaneously, and then there was a perplexing comedy of errors; one fellow got tbe other's mail, and an other one got the other fellow's bag gage, and another got one other fel low's bills,- and when they discovered how it was, they settled up, wound up their stay at that hasherie, ; and scattered. Now what we would like to know is what mystic magnet drew three Frank D. Shoemakers to Chicago at the same time and lodged them in the same hoBtelry.

We clip the following, showing what the North Carolina Insurance Department is doingj from the Ra leigh Post: . The wisdom of the Legislature in establishing the North Carolina Insu rance Department as a part 01 tne mate government has been amply proven in tne administration 01 tne omce ; 07 Hon. James R. Young. .. 'Mr. Young yesterday paid Into tne 8tata treasury, the- handsome sum of $38 887.75, the amount collected for li censes, taxes and fees during tne. month of February. Added to tne amount already paid in during the current fiscal year, this makes the nice sum of $123,242. which is exactly 33,- 169 08 more tban was collected during tbe whole of the last fiscal year, and there is vet nearly a month of the present fiscal year to rnn. The year ends April 1st. 1 . "From this it is safe to sax tbat tnia ear's receipts from tbe Insurance De partment will exceed by about $40,000 the receipts of last year. Before tne establishment or tne in surance Department, when tne busi ness was handled by the Secretary of State, the receipts . averaged about $80,000 yearly.' The first year of Mr. Young's administration brought the receipts up to about $90,000. The next year there was a slight increase over the first, notwithstanding tbe with drawal from the State of some of the best and strongest companies, under the Craig law.! "Tbe expenses of the department. including salaries of the commissioner and his clerks, are more than paid by the class of fees that formerly went into the pocket of the Secretary of State. "And that is not all. It is not tell ing the whole story to show the amount actually paid into tbe State treasury by the department and the comparatively small expense incurred in its administration. Benefits almost incalculable are are accruing from the vigilance of the. commissioner in the matter of the investigation of fires and the enforcement of the laws relating thereto. Then, in addi tion to that, everything in the shape of an insurance concern, whether mutual, assessment, fraternal order. industrial or other forms, are brought directly under the supervision of the department. Tne law is not a dead letter in tne hands of Mr. Young. Using tbe means given him. he has made the State an uncomfortable berth for 'un derground and 'wildcat concerns. a ad as fast as they have been discov ered all such have been driven out of the State. One persistent agent of a fraudulent company is now serving a two years' term on tbe Wake county roads. Tbe people of tbe State are protected, as every company must pus a strict examination before it can secure license to sea insurance here. "The Insurance Department has" succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations of those who were tbe prime movers in its establishment." Aside from the testimony these figures supply as to the efficiency and zeal of the insurance commis sioner, the more important fact is that our people are protected from fraudulent and wild cat concerns of other States, of which they know little, and by which no doubt many have been caught, to their sorrow, in the past. This makes more bus iness for responsible companies from our own and and other sections. CURRENT COMMENT. The lack of independence exhibited by the members of the House is not at all calculated to help along the plan to elect United States Senators by the direct votes of the people. The fact that thev are elected in this manner doesn't seem to inspire the House members with an extraordinary amount of nerve. Washington fost, 2nd.

Brooklyn Citizen, JJem. The fate of Gnnner Joseph Hill, following that of Gunner Mor gan, shows tbat it is impossible for an American seaman to break through the barriers of the navy and obtain a commission. While many a private soldier rises to high rank, there is no prospect for a seaman to rise in the exclusive and autocratic naval establishment. This explains why ambitious and public-spirited American youth so greatly prefer tne mercantile service to the navy. rntaaeipna necora, uerru It DaulM Site Wrl. ; no discovery in meaieine has ever created one quarter of the excitement tnai nas oeen causea oy ur.

The dairy" farmer as a general thing Fhould raise his own stock that is, the belfers says a correspondent of Amer ican Cultivator. Of course he should get the best males he can from tne most approved families or breeds ana then select tbe most promising heifer ralves from the best cows. A considerable proportion of our most enterprising dairymen, those who are In condition to do so, have their cows fresh in milk from September on dur ing the four succeeding months. This affords a good opportunity for raising a fine lot of fall and winter calves that, If well cared for, win become large, thrifty animals, which another spring, as the pastures become good, will be fully able to care for themselves. The raisins: of calves in this manner is becoming quite an industry of itself where winter dairying is practiced. It comes at a time of the year when the work can be readily performed and in the best manner. To be the most successful in this busi ness there are some necessary condi tions. These are comfortable quarters, where the vonmr animals can be kept dry and warm. This is very Important, as they can hardly be expected to thrive or do well in cold, dark, wet pens. Plenty of bedding to keep them dry is one of the requisites, and they should be fed regularly with sweet, warm milk. It may be skimmilk after the first few weeks or days even, with nei ther too little, nor too much at a time. Where separators are used on the farm or cold, deep setting of milk is practiced these conditions can be successfully carried out Where calves are thus kept in a com fortable stable and fed milk until the following spring they should become such animals as the owner may well be proud of. But milk should not form the entire ration. After a few weeks they will commence to eat a little hay, and it should be fed to them regularly and that of the best quality. If there is a silo on the premises, the ensilage will be relished and help to make a better ration. Not much grain need be fed, as It Is essential to develop the milking quali ties rather than those of a beef tenden cy. A little Dran or oats wui nox come amiss. The j idea should be to keep them healthy, thrifty and growing all through the winter. In marketing my cream to fancy trade I make capital of the fact that I use only well matured and well cured foods for dairy cows, says an Ohio farmer In American Agriculturist. Our feed consists of clover hay and corn stover fed whole at the rate of one part of clover to two of stalks. Our grain feed consists principally of corn and oats produced on the farm. I try to balance the grain ration with protein In Its cheapest market form, as the prices may vary on ollmeal, gluten or cottonseed. I think that most modern Idea dairymen feed too much protein rather than not enough in pro portion to the fatty foods. If less in tensive methods were used in the feed ing and stabling of cattle, we should have much less tuberculosis, calf scours, abortion and disease generally In our herds. .Plenty of the more natu ral foods, plenty of exercise and fresh air are good agents with which to com bat disease. A Maaaachvaetta Ration. The following grain mixtures are giv en by the Massachusetts experiment station as desirable rations for dairy cattle, together with the dally ration of each to be fed In connection with the coarse forage on the farm. These should all be mixed before feeding: Six to 7 quarts per day of 100 pounds cottonseed, gluten or linseed meal, 125 pounds flour middlings, 100 pounds wheat bran or mixed feed; 8 quarts of 250 pounds gluten feed, 100 pounds wheat bran or mixed feed; 5 to 6 quarts gluten feed dally scattered on the silage; 6 to 8 quarts daily of 100 pounds fine middlings, 100 pounds brewer'B grain or malt sprouts; 6 to 7 quarts of 100 pounds cottonseed or gluten meal, 150 pounds corn or homi ny meal, 100 pounds wheat bran or mixed feed; 4 to 6 quarts of 100 pounds gluten feed, 100 pounds wheat bran or mixed feed; -4 quarts of 100 pounds gluten feed, 100 pounds hominy feed. Ratios For Mlllc Cowi. Professor Thomas Shaw of the Min nesota experiment station suggests that the grain ration for milk cows should be "what is now known as succotash" and that if this should be grown so that pne part would be wheat, two parts oats ground together and the three parts added to one-fourth part of corn meal the ration would be a good one. It might be all right for his general purpose cow that be is so fond of prais ing, but it Is lot a ration for a milk cow or a butter cow, says American Cultivator. Give us three quarts of wheat bran, one quart of cornmeal and one quart of cottonseed meal, and wp can get more milk and make 50 per cent more butter from a good cow than can be made from the above ration, and we think at less cost, though we hare not figured it out at present prices. . I Cowi Like Variety In Food. The feeder should study to give cows as great variety of food as possible. They love a variety as well as we do and if allowed f reedom to get a variety will have it and do much better than if confined to one or two kinds of feed, no matter how good those foods igay be.

Facing: the lower harbor of Bergen, at the end of a long row of quaint old ware houses, stands a venerable building more than 700 years old, called the Finne- gaarden, one of the counting houses of the league, which has been preserved uv tact and is now a museum filled with in teresting relics of that celebrated corpora tion. They show how its managers and employees lived and conducted business. The league owned the harbor and a con siderable portion of the city and "con trolled not only its manufacturing, mer cantile trade and foreign, commerce, but also its fisheries, which have always been its most valuable industry. Bergen then, as now, was the greatest fish mar ket in the world. The management of the business of the league was intrusted only to Germans, Who were imported for that purpose, and were not allowed to marry lest their wives should learn its secrets. The man agers and clerks were housed in colonies of fourteen, each colony having control of certain interests and keeping separate ac counts of its transactions. Tne men slept in cupboards built into the walls in a curious manner. They did their own cooking. They had their own church, with priests imported from Germany.

Stiff, starchy effects are to be strictly tabooed unless it be the translucence of Swiss or oreandie, Stripes and large patterns in lace or silk are failures. So are big brocades f or plaids. Velvet and fine furs are especially happy selections, and such accessories as a handsome opera cloak or a long ostrich fan are deemed happy adjuncts with full aress.
