In fact, they were not OOaocioua of much beyond the Joy of living, of proptn auity, of the sympathy and under tandiag which exiated between them, of a comniunity of tastes and lot areata. Together they marveled at the miracle of life through death, la opening budj and leaf, and flower; but so far no word of love had been spoken between them.

She knew that he was pUrpoecl miinicUinj; her affected use of the southern like; but she would not unbend. Ilfl leaned his nrm over Black Don's gloaay Beck, and regarded her mtaehievouaiy, "What an irony of fate, Clarissa!" he said, teeeihgly, as he stood gaglag at her with a fondness which she haughtily Ignored. "How m r did it happen that vou should have tho blue eyes, while mine should lc the fai ?" As Memorial day approached, however, the breach between them grew undeniably serious. The alder mem

bers of both households smiled, nnd shook their heads BBOWlagly, and moralized on the InevlJ ableneaa of lovers' quarrels. Aunt Frances rashly took it upon herself to remonstrate with her niece, for Hubert A he r aperla) favorite, and she could not bear to have him Panda unhappy by Clariasa'a caprlcea. .She was unprepared, however, for the rebuff which sh met.

tint market. but in spite of gl this it haa already been suggested that the people ought to be willing to pay higher prices than foreigners pay, because by ao doing they help our manufacturers to capture foreign markets. This matter has been made very clear by foreign writers. Only the other day an English authority warned the people of England that theeompetl-

i tion of Amer:ean trusts would be increasingly fornahiable as the yuan I passed. He argued that the monopolistic production in the I'nited States 1 was of the BtOBl economic kind, and j that it was further helped) by the tarI )1T, which enabled taem to make a , great ileal of CD : y In the home mar

ket. His theory was that they made an much at home, behind the shelter .-tf the tariff wall, that they could afford to sell in foreign marketi at cost, fr even below it Thus the effect of a

protective tariff, In a trust-controlled market, may be to stimulate exports by increasing the power of our exporters to compete la foreign markets. We have no doubt that this argument will be pushed vigoroualy by thuse who are tatcreated in heaping up tariff duties. It will be said that it is as important to develop trade as it was to establish Industries, and that the former is as much a public object as the latter. Our favorable balance of trade will be dwelt on with the utmost iinpressivenea, and it will he attributed to the fact that OUf people are willing to pay "a little more" for their poods than they would have to pay without the tariff, thus inahing it passible' for our manufacturers to beat the foreigner even in hia own market. It will be pointed out that every dollar's worth of goods sent out of the country means the employment of just so much more labor. And we shall be reproachfully asked whether, for the sake of having a little money, we are willing to shut up American factories, or seriously curtail their opera! ions, am', throw- American Work ingmen out of employment. It will not be easy for the converted protectionist to meet such arguments. Hut

Instead of this, the president has not only renflirmed his adherence to "expansion." which he haa g-ood reason to know is popular at the south, but has boldly hinted at a progressive economic and commercial policy. It was announced before the presideat's departure from Washington that "during his trip he would be regularly informed of the progress gf the plans for local revenue in Porta. Rico, and the moment the expenses of the island are met by its local revenues the proclamation of freo trade between Porto Pico nnd tho I'nited Btntea will issue, wherever tho president may be, though of course it will Ik- tinted from Washington."
