His wife took ti| h**r husband’s trade, and day after day dragged a heavy cart about tin* streets from customer to customer, feuding the larger chUd by the band and carrying the smaller one in, a sling across her back.

THE PROTEST OF THE MIDDLE WEST, The extent of the disaffection which exlata among the Republican* of the middle West over the present high tariff can not well be Ignored by the parly In power. Sir. Taft’a speeches In defence of k measure with which he haa not hesitated to express dissatisfaction have been entirely tuo labored to produce the happy effect of pouring oil on the troubled *»• tek. The cost of living Is an argument which can not be answered by smoothly turned phrases. Senator Clapp, In an able speech which he delivered In New York dur ing the past week, forcefully stated the position which the rapidly growing army of Insurgents In the middle West have taken. "The real Issue In the progressive movement,” said he, "is to prevent the extension by the government of aid to great commercial corporations which seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the iieople." In the opinion of the Minnesota senator there was u time when com petition counteracted the effect of high protection, but It was past. The difficulty now to be overcome waa combination. Moreover, he character ised the Aldrlch-Payne tariff as the greatest Juggling of figures In the history of the country, and he stated that tha people of Ills section were wearying of a system of revenues which fostered the Interests of the mo nopolist at the expense of the ultimate consumer. Taken In connection with recent developments, the speech of (Senator Clapp haa elicited much serious comment. Hays The Hultlmore Sun: "The growth of tariff reform sentiment In the middle West Is one of the most significant and Important political developments of the pres ent time. It la a warning lo reactionary Republicans everywhere and to the privileged beneficiaries of the Aldrich tariff that even In states heretofore the strongholds of the Republican party protection has come to be regarded as a cloak for privilege, Injustice and oppression. That ' there must be a new deal, and a square one, Is the demand of the progress, tve Republicans under the leadership of Senators Clapp, Dolllver, LaFol- lette and Beveridge and other Independents. Next November a new- house of representatives will be elected. Legislatures are to .be chosen In many slates to elect n I ted States senators, whose terms ^lll expire In 1211. Minnesota is a tariff reform state; Iowa, under the Influence of Cummins, favors tariff revision in the Interest of the consumer; In In diana a great number of Republicans—the majority of the voters of that party, it is estimated—asp In sympathy with the 'progressive move ment.’ Ho it is plain that the protest of the middle West against ’undue J,rlvlleges and unjust protection,’ If unheeded by the Influences which now control the Republican party, can be made effective at the polls In the November elections. ’’If the progressive Republicans of the middle West continue to maintain an attitude of uncompromising hostility to ’t’annunism* and ’Aldrichlam’ they may succeed ultimately In eliminating these Influences from their party, and thus prepare the way fur Jionest tariff revision either by the Republican party or by the Democratic party reinforced by all the ele ments which desire genuine reform of the tariff. The leaven of tariff reform Is working mightily In the West, The political upheaval In that quarter la most encouraging, therefore, to men of all political parties who believe the people are entitled to relief from the burdens of unjust and oppressive taxation for the enrichment of privileged interests.’’ There Is no doubt of the fact that the breach In the Republican ranks la widening, but of what aval! will It be to the Democrats unless they adjust the differences which divide them? The lime for consolidation is at hand. Hhuulder to shoulder, under one banner, we can win. DR. GUY CARLETON LEE NEXT WEEK, The privilege of hearing one of the foremost editors and thinkers of America will be afforded the public next week wheh Dr. Guy Carleton Lee appears In Atlunta under the auspices of the Woman’s club.

In the United States last year, anil assuming that each machine was worth on nn average of *2,000, the total value of the American output for the twelve months will aggregate lit round numbers *230,000.000. The Washington correspondent of The New York Hun cites figures to allow that the development of tills business is without parallel In the In dustrial history of the United States. Kor only as far back as 120* there were lees than Il.ooo automobiles manufactured In this country, und the Increase for seven years has been fully tenfold. *On Imported machines the . duty is 45 per eenf ail valorem. Last year there were Imported* 1,045 ears valued at **,071,000, and 3,686 cars valued at **,*20,000 were exported. Imports of automobiles were first classified separately In 1905, when 4»6 cars valued at *1,866,400 Were brought In. Exports were first se|>„ tnlely re|s,rted In 1006, when 1.145 cars, valued ut *1.792,200, were sold In other countries. Exports and Im ports during the lust four years are reported thus; Exports.

In fact, the average value of exported curs Is now practically the same as the av erage value of Imported machines. Of the 1,645 bought abroad last year 92ft came from France, 418 from Italy, 127 from Germany, and 101 from England. The cars exported went to all the corners of the earth, to Africa, East India and to Australia, as well as to t'anadu. Europe and South America. Export* to the I’nited Kingdom were valued at $2,000,000, to Canada at $2.400,000, to France at 9846.(100, to Mexico at $494,000, to South America at $240,000, to British Australia at $303,000, and to Africa at 149,000. The automobile Is coming into generaW use not only for purposes of pleasure but also for commercial use, and while it Is still a luxury to some und an extravagance to others. It Is rapidly working a revolution In the world’s system of transportation.

THIS WEEK IN COTTON By JOSEPH B. LIVELY. At times tltJ* week trading In cotton has been near a standstill, tho for th# 1 most part, while price,*? ahowed a tendency .to sag. the undertone has been steady Jn the market for contracts. The general .situation am! outlook have shown little change, beyond a temporary slackening In the demand for ac tual cotton at Liverpool, where the spinners have replenished their stocks by their recent heavy purchases, which, with a proposed increase In cur tailment, has enabled them to withdraw from the market. There has been some talk of a reaction In general business, but so far nothing of Impor tance has developed in the dry goods markets or In. the business at first hand In yarns and cloths In the principal milling of either New England or the South. The reports current of the reaction In general trade from the past month’s heavy*decllne In the stock market and unsettled political con ditions and the legislation at Washington against the railroads and trusts, of which bo many statements have been made of late, are exaggerated. Prices were held steady until the latter part of the week on the strong sta tistical position of the raw materia! with small fluctuations up and down, when reports that some little cotton was being offered In the South reached 4 the market. The reports were dented, hut the market began acting tired. 1 That the small remnant of the crop should show the least signs of weakness at this stage of the game discouraged the bulls, and on Wednes day liquidation from this element caused a* decline of something over $1 a bale. There w ill probably be little fresh speculation in the old crop months for the remainder of the season. As the delivery month matures there will be, of course, some activity, the result of notices being Issued. Notices of late have failed to create any great excitement and. shorts generally manage to get under cover without any great difficulty. It Is this fact that tires the hulls and keeps the market around the 15c level in the face of a natural corner In the market. The week-end figures bring every Friday mute evidence of the condition of the crop movement^pnd we have only the verbal statement of the spin ner that trade conditions are poor. Every external evidence favors the Idea that America has no idea of quitting business: In fact, outside of a limited area Influenced by the fears and frailties of Wall Street, the country seems td be upqn a very prosperous footing. The speculative Interest In cotton has narrowed to such an extent that very few houses arc carrying more than 25 per cent of the long interest that they had when the 16c level was reached many weeks ago, and the elimination of this long Interest leaves as sellers of cotton only those who have the cotton without a hedge thereon, or else some one who Is able and willing to commit himself to the short side of the market In the face of a statistical position almost un equaled In history, when supply and demand are both considered. Every legitimate Influence favors a further rise In values, and the crop prospect for the coming year is being seriously lessened by the continuation of unde sirable weather In that section wherMt Is most needed. The small showers that have fallen have not served to furnish more than surface moisture, which Is blown away In a day. It is still much too early to discuss the .new crop season. There was, however, every indication from the record-breaking sales of fertilizer* re ported by traveling men to the fertilizer companies doing business in the Carollnas. Georgia and Alabama, and also tho record-breaking sales of mules at Nt. Louis and the Atlanta district, that planters Intend putting in the larg est acreage for the new crop on record. Moreover, much new land Is likely to be opened up In Oklahoma and north Texas, and even as far as the lower California valley there is talk of devoting some land to cotton. So far. th»* season In the ground from the winter’s moisture has been good In all the states except Texas, which is still on* 1 to two Inches behind the normal winter’s rainfall. Koine land has been broken up In southwestern Texas for the now crop planting, but It will bo a week or two before such operations, even In the extreme southern part of that section, will he under way. Planting In the northerly districts of the state will not become general for a month, and this work jvlll not be finished In the northwestern part un til about the end of April. ” Week’s NEW YORK. range In futures; High.

C, M. D. The Anesthetist Perhaps the most potent factor in the prog re** of tnedicine during thv last 50 years has hren specialization. The vast field of research and practice whieh the family phjdti cian of our forefathers so hopelesly tried to coTvr i* now segregated Into no less than 20 recognized BpeciaJlie* of imfe'e^ne and surgery. The nervous system ig ntudied by the neurologist, the eye by the ocu'4| t. the akin by the dermatologist, the teeth by the dentist, and *0 on down the Hat. And the last specialist to demand recognition ig anesthetist. The term “anesthetist”— found in moat dictionaries—is accented the second syllable. The anesthetist is ths» man who specializes on the administration of ether and other anes thetics—the man who pilots us thru those strange and dangerous lands of dreams and sleep which are vntered by the inhalation of ether, chloroform and “laughing gas." For years after the discovery of anesthesia in 1842 by that great Southerner, Crawford W. I.ong. ether and chloroform wore habitually permitted to be administered by any and everybody within medical circles—general practitioners, medical students, nurses and to forth. But the profession gradually awoke to the fact that .no phase of surgical work was more deserving of special study, care and experience than the administration of aneatheties. Accordingly hospitals began 'to prohibit miscellaneous employment of interne physicians or nursvs for this important work, and the anesthetist gradually evolved as a distinct specialist. At the present time every large medical center includes wren who de vote their entire time to the |dminiatrntion of anesthetics, and many smaller cities hare their tnvn specialising largely in this field. The usual fee for administering an anes thetic is $5. hut it ought to he st least twice that amount to patients who are able to pay a reasonable charge. rnfortiimifoJ.r there are thousand* of peo ple and not n few phyalclan* who full to realize the importifnce of employing experts to give anesthetic*. A prominent surgeon upre remarked that he would he more pur- th uhir about the choice of some one to give him ether during nn operation upon him self 1 han nhotit the choice of n man to Wield the knife. The arbitrary, nay foolhardy, way some physicians persist in preferring chloroform to ether for ordinary operation* la probably due to their lack of contact with expert anesthetist*. The death* from chloroform number 1 In 3.M0; the death* from ether are only 1 in 16,0u0 administrations—proving chloroform to he more than five time* n* fa tal a* ether Of course, there me case* which demand chloroform—case* Involving o|»eru T thin* in or about tho mouth, for example; also obstetrical cases. Hut the etfart anes thetist should be the one to choose this or that anesthetic for this or thnt case. The Ideal anesthetist la adept at physical examination of the heart and chest; hi* sen sltive finger read* instantly every variation of the pulse; and III* trained ear I* quick to note the first danger signal of altered res piration. Moreover he !s conversant and resourceful with stimulants and all the uiesii* of heroh* resuscitation. * A JEWISH REMEDY FOR HIGH PRICES If the boycott of meat were n real rrnmt for the prevailing high prices of Un tie* of life, we are inclined to think th: every one, without regard to class or would readily join In the movement, all the elements of society suffer alik from the lessening purchasing |tmypr oj dollar.
