Mrs Spencer never thought of putting pea to paper as a novelist uutil about three ears ago since when her success hu been so marked that she will probably continue to delight thousands of readers with stories still unwritten Writing slinply because she felt moved to write she cared nothing for fame and her two first books were pubilithed anonymouldy Her friends however urged her to claim her own so that she was persuaded to put her name upon the title page of "A Plucky One" just published by Cassell Co of New York An admiring friend has sent us this little sketch of her interesting life: May Nunez Spencer was born in St Augustine Fla Her mother Eliza Loring was on her mother's side descended from one of the proudest families of North Carotins whom ancestors were lords sitting in the Irish Parliament Her fattier was of the Boston family of Lorings Her mother who was a woman of rare beauty THE DOG IN TEE MAIICIEIL Clarksville Demootat: The constantly dinduishing price of wheat year by

and railroads although It is perfectly clear that every huh prevenient which facilitates trade more or less destructive to the protective theory The genuine protectioniet of the Carey and Greeley echools were well aware of lased the former thought that if the oceans wets blazing ems of Am it would be greatly to tbe interest of American Industrie' while the latter said that If a locomotive came from a distance It was "an exhauster" Such men patterned atter the Chinese school which for oeuluries prohibited all foreign trade under penalty of death and up to the present time have not availed them-Br seine of those great tdetrumentalitied of free The Chinese are perfectly logical and thoroughly understand that any obstacle put in the way of trade operates precisely as a tariff Increases the cost of foreign articles and ilk the 'tariff secures the high rates of wages with which they are blessed We read therefore with much 2 interest th official letter of Charles mour United States Consul at Canton ally na to the Department of State which apI- pears in the Consular Reports for October Rams: "Itiatime of peace when other nations are expending millions of dollar' to improve navigation of harbors and rivers for commerce the Chinese authorities at Cants ton have recently thrown'hundreds of junk loads of stone and driven piles to hold these deposits of stone in place to obstruct and destroy the ship channel of the river and neither consular nor diplomatic remonstrance lies yet been able to stop what is dearly forbidden by international law and comity and prejudicial to the commercial intends of foreign nations and detrimental to the interests of tie most Important port of Southern China" In the United Statn we act a little differ- 4 eiitiy We expend millions to clear the ob I structtons at Helillate and elsewhere and then put up a tariff obstacle to keep oril ships and goods It would be far more eoonomical to act as the Chinese do and fill up the harbors for this would prevent a i great deal of "tariff tinkering" and would A at the same time give a great deal of employment to labor Prof Sumner in his work on Protection- ismsays: "The southern counties of England a century ago protested against the open- I ingot the great northern turnpike because 1 that would bring the products of the north1 ern counties to the London market of which the southern Counties had bad a I monopoly After the St' Gothard I tunnel was opened Jim) people of Southern Germany petitioned the Government to lay higher taxes 00 Italian products to offset the cheapness which the tunnel bad produced In 1837 the first two steamers which ever 4 made coommercial voyages across a the Atlantic arrived at the sometime A ti grand celebration way held in New York to The foolish people rejoiced If a new a blessing had been won Man had won a new triumph over nature What wag the el gain of it? It was that he could satisfy his needs with lees labor than before or in oP plain '1 language get things cheaper a But In 1812 a Home Industry Convention a was held in New York at which it was a alleged as the prime reason wily more taxes el I were needed that the steam transportation had made things cheap here Taxes were al needed to neutralize the Improvement" We are now attempting to subsidize If thisesults in cheaper freights We will see no theprotentionbits endeavor toldeetroy this ad- bo vantage by dedianding a higher tariff upon the goods the ships bring in- The letter of s' Hr Seymour in speaking-of mining entei prises it China Rays: "At the very outset tb It is distinctly and clearly announced in the id mining regulations and in the charter and Ni prospectus of every company organized for CS mining business that 'foreigners andnative converts to Christianity are prohibited from owning any 'hare or stock in any b4 such mining company'" Considering the advances our American protectionists are making lathe Chinese principle of obstrubt- in lug commerce it should be the duty of our at consuls to endeavor to secure for thie doss it some special oonceesiona And

market which we have obtallied It must be borne in mind however that most of the Old World counbles which have been the purchaaers of our wheat are manufacturing countries Their population is entirely too douse to enable their people to live by cultivating the soil They make goods of every description for farmers in other lands to wear and it is from the sale of theee goods that they obtain the money to buy the necesearies of life for themselves This is notably the case with Great Britain the wealthiest country on earth but a country in which nearly all the laboring people are manufacturers of something which they expect the people of other countries to buy If the people of Groat Britain could only sell us their goods if we would only give them a fair chance in our markets they would send their merchandise 8000 miles WV' the sea would sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of it every year to us and would take the money we paid them and buy our wheat and carry it home for their people to live on We have however planed such a heavy tax on nearly everything they have to sell that we have driven them in a great measure ont of the country and forced them to seek other markets for the goods they have to sell They cannot eell their goods in Europe for Europe is crowded with manufactures They cannot sell in this country for we have locked our doors against them But they must live and their case being desperate the Government must find mime market in which their waree can be sold The Government of Great Britain has undertaken to solve this problem and relieve Its peorle by opening up and developing old countries with large farming populations but which have bad no outlet and no commerce with the world heretofore In India and in Egypt the Government has built at great expense railroads into the interior of the country and has encouraged the people to raise wheat and other articles of food which the British people buy from them and on the other hand these farmers once cut off from the outside world have become the purchasers to a great extent of the goods which the British man ulacturers could not sell to us A trade has sprung up or rather been developed by the Government of Great Britain between these farmers of India and the Britain manufacturers and both are profiting by the commerce British laborers are being employed and are finding sale for their goods while the people in India are waking up and raising wheat to sell and treating themselves to luxuries They never dreamed of before Only the American tanner is the loser by the tram-action lie prefers to pay double price for goods manufactured at home rather than buy cheaper and better articles made by a foreigner and he has driven that foreigner who was his best customer off to other lands to sell his goods and to buy his wheat After having run off the man who wanted to sell him cheap merchandise and pay him a fair price for his wheat the American farmer site down and complains and wonders why it is that wheat is so low and why the monopoly which be has established at home charges him so much for everything he has to buy The American farmer is the modern dog in the manger Ile cannot eat his own wheat and he barks at the other animals that come to eat it and want to pay bim well for the privilege FOR RENT volt store 41 North Cherry A street wood door from Union
