With a large portion of the Pennsyl vania, New York, Tennessee and Mon tana militia doing duty around iron mills and mines in their respective states, it must be apparent to any man with an unprejudiced mind that there is something radically wrong with the so cial conditions of this country. It is only a few years since Americans yiewed with surprise the outbreaks of the lower classes in foreign countries, but not one in every hundred thought the time was so near at hand when these scenes would be enacted at our own doors. Americans, intrenched behind their boasted high tariff, considered that their country would never be menaced by these upheavals, but the past few months, have caused many to pause and wonder what the end will be. Republican organs and orators told the people of the United States that the pas sage of the McKinley hill would inaugu rate an era of prosperity such as the world had never seen before. Granted that these men were sincere in there ad vocacy of a protective tariff, the proof lies before them in a thousand different parts of the country that protection is a failure. Protection has not only failed to relieve labor of its burden, but the higher the protection the more strife and antagonism wo find between labor and capital. It is only logical, then, to assume that a reduction or entire aboli tion of the tariff would lessen this con llict between the classes. The McKinley bill is not entirely responsible for the conditions of society, but it is the very first barrier that must be removed be fore any relief can come to the laboring or business people. Free trade would not bring the millen nium, but it would go a great distance in turning the attention of the public to a more efficient and equal system of taxa tion. With free imports the govern ment would have to look elsewhere for a revenue, and until the government is placed in that position it is useless to ask or hope for any legislation that can bet ter the condition of the masses. The tax system of this country differs but very little from that in vogue throughout the world. We see what it has done for European nations, and American intelli gence is able to devise something differ ent if the question is fairly brought be fore the people. This question cannot be discussed at any length until protec tion is abolished, unless it be to answer those who ask, "After free trade, what then?" After free trade will come a great and aggressive crusade against a system which thousands believe to be the cause of the evils existing to-day. That cru sade will be against landlordism, against the theory that there is justice in allow ing any number of people to own the earth without returning to the govern ment an annual rental equivalent to its value. Those who advocate these prin ciples have nearly all identified them selyes with the Democratic party, be cause the party is becoming more pronounced for free trade each succes sive year. While not having a majority of the voters in the party still the single taxers are the controlling element, and would make short work of a candidate or the party should either show a leaning again townrd a protective tariff. The election of a Democratic president nnd house of representatives this year will givo the movement a considerable ad vance, and would he the first important step in the emancipation of American workingm'en. Tlio Went In tlic CHiiiiutigii. Few Republicans believe tbat Harri son will carry New York. Some of them talk of their ability to elect him without New York, but how are they going to do it? The talk of carrying West Virginia for him is moonshine, but even if it were not there is not a safe Republican state between Ohio and Kansas. Many Democrats believe that Ohio will go Democratic this year. We believe, however, that it will not. We believe that Ohio, California, Oregon, Maine and Vermont are still safely Re publican in presidential years. i Here in the central West the Repub licans can count on nothing surely. In diana is now opposed to Harrison. ) There is little doubt that there is now I in the state a plurality of at least 20,- j 000 against hiin. The Democratic I chances of carrying Illinois and Wis consin are better than the chances of the Republicans. lowa is at least as apt to give its electoral vote to Cleveland as it is to return to the Republican party. The Democrats will divide the vote of Michigan, and in Kansas and Nebraska Harrison is fighting both the Democrats and the third party people of the far mers' alliances. Where then do the custom-house and post office Republicans expect to get an electoral majority? The blocks-of-five system cannot be successfully used over such a territory as this when the people have been educated to such a knowledge of its workings as they gained from the Harrison campaign of 18S8 in Indiana, and in the absence of such means of control Harrison is beaten three months before the polls open.— St. I.onis He public. Eastern and Western Swimmer*. The seashore is supposed to be the homo of fine swimmers, but as a matter of fact the denizens of the coast cannot compare in this respect with our south westerners. I have seen it tried time and again, and always with the same result. Men from Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Texas are, almost without exception, fleeter and more graceful swimmers than those who were born and brought up 011 the Now England coast. The reason for this is the differ ence between fresh and salt water. When one who has learned to swim in fresh water gets into the ocean he feels as if he could never become wearied. Tho denser water so buoys his limbs that they appear to weigh nothing and he is astonished at tho speed he attains. Another notable fact is that the pro portion of men bred 011 the seaboard who cannot swim is very much greater than among inlanders. At New Bed ford, a famous shipping point, not one sailor in five can swim and the same is true of other points 011 the New England coast. With the people from the south west, certainly with those who were bred in tho country, the nonswimmer is an exception. Tho cause of this is that tho weather is warm enough for out door bathing during more months of the year in the southern and southwestern states than on the sea coast, and scarcely a farmer's boy is unacquainted with the art. In one respect alone are tho east erners ahead and that is in their lady swimmers, with whom wo have few to compete.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Where Organ Grinders Congregate. The industry—if that word can be used in such connection—of organ grind ing is ono of considerable extent. This city limits the number of licenses to 800 at a dollar each. This does not by any means cover the number of Italians who at certain seasons of the year live here and make their living by grinding. Like theatrical people, these grinders make New York their headquarters, and Mul berry bend is their Rial to. There on any sunny, warm morning they may be seen lounging indifferently along the narrow, crowded street, stopping to say a word with the pretty black eyed girl who sells ice cream for a cent a glass, or to borrow a cigarette from a passing acquaintance. In this latter respect alone they resem ble the loungers of the other Iliulto up town. They don't wear patent leathers or spats or carry big canes, but they make up for these appendages in ciga rette smoking.—New York World. The Groom Was All Uiglit. A lady once sent me a message that her footman had not been confirmed and that she would liko him to join some confirmation classes which were just being formed. One of my colleagues went to call 011 her with a view of making tho necessary arrangements. Just as ho was leaving it suddenly oc curred to her that she had a groom, and very likely he was not confirmed either. So she rang tho bell and told tho butler to go over to tho stables and find out whether James bad been confirmed. In a few minutes the man returned and stolidly announced: "Yes, miss, it's all right. He's been done twice." Of course he meant vaccinated.—Cornhill Maga zine. A Cowardly llu*baiid'H Itefugc. A friend who once traveled with the circus told mo this: "Many years ago 1 was a clown in Forepaugli's. Ono of tho lion tamers had a sharp tongued wife who was so insanely jealous of him that she kept the poor man in a constant state of trepidation. One afternoon she caught him talking to a pretty bareback rider, whereupon she secured a horse whip and chased her husband until finally he took refuge by jumping into tho lions' cage and holding himself be hind the animals. 'Ugh! you miserable coward,' she cried, angrily tugging at the bars, 'come out and face 1110 if you dare!' " —Boston Home Journal. Steam from Wusted Heat. The quantity of heat wasted by slag has suggested projects for utilizing it in raising steam, but nothing practical has been attained until recently. At a mine in New South Wales tho molten slag is run into tho bottoms of iron chambers that can withstand internal steam pres- 1 sure, and jets of water are forced on the Blag. In a short time the chambers are filled with steam that can be utilized in other parts of tho works.—New York Hun. The Most Costly Hook. The most costly book in the world is declared to l>e a Hebrew Bible now in the Vatican. It is said that in 1512 Pope Jules II refused to sell tho Bible for its weight in gold, which would amount to $103,000. That is the great est prico ever offered for A book. —New York Sun. Culcl> TTim l'retty "Nigh." "Ef BO be't anybody sh'd ak in© who ! I caouuted was tli' aout an' aout mean est man in Bridgeby, or anywher's I raound," remarked Mr. Enos James to a select audience at tlio village store 1 ono evening, " 'twouldn't take me long t' sot forth my mind, I ken tell ye. "I bed t' go over to Caleb Simonds' of an errand fer m' wife one day last | week, an Miry, she persuaded mo t' set daown t' dinner along with 'en, as I'd got to go over t' Centreville b'fore I went 1 home, an 'twas jest th' noonin. "1 hated to stay, fer I knew Caleb wouldn't be much set up t' see me, an i ' don't never seem t' relish my food there, someways, but I was overpaowered, 1 kind of, b' Miry, an 1 staid. Caleb looked all took aback t' see me when he come in, but he tried t' appear cheerful. "When I see thet pooty, slim lookin little Follett gal come in I was sorry fer her, t' think what kind o' nourish- j ment she'd most likely took in while she was boardin aout her time there I "I ain't goin t' find no fault with th' food, fer I partook of it an filled up as well as I could. But ef ye'll b'lieve me, when we was half through with th' meal, sech as 'twas, Caleb casted his eye ep t' tli' clock an says he, 'Well, Miss Follett, I see your boardin time here is aout naow ye've lied half y'r dinner, but I cal'late t' be lib'ral as o'd bo expected, an I shan't begredge ye, ef ye eat pooty nigh th' same amaount as usu'l.' "O' course," concluded Enos James in a burst of indignation, "she never eat another maouthful! Caleb Simonds may hev his good p'ints, but he's jes' a grain too nigh f'r me t' see what they be!"— i Youth's Companion. lie Know the Woman. A few years ago the writer was on a train on an Indiana railroad, and in front of him sat a woman in deep mourn ing. When the conductor came through she told him that she had no money nor ticket, that her child was lying at the point of death at Elkhart, and that she was trying to get to it. She begged and entreated the conductor to carry her to that point, where, she said, she had friends who would pay him well for his trouble. "You must pay your fare or get off the ' train," said the conductor bluntly. "You certainly will not bo so inhuman as to keep me from reaching my dying ! child?" said the woman as the tears came to her eyes. The conductor reached for the bell- ! cord as the engine whistled for a small | station. The passengers began to grow indignant, and there was talk of a col lection to pay the woman's fare, when the conductor, taking the woman by the arm, said in a loud voice: "This woman is a spotter. Seven years she caused the discharge of several conductors on the Lake Shore road, to whom she told this story and who carried her free. 1 regret to say that I was ono of the con ductors, and 1 do not propose to be caught again." Without a word the woman got up and left the train when it stopped, and the indignation of the passengers melted away as she disappeared.—lndianapolis News. lSouiid to Come. The coat of arms of Kentucky is two [ men standing with clasped hands under j the motto, "United we stand, divided we fall." One of these men on tile coat of arms should be given his walking papers and a woman put in his place. The J world is growing older and wiser, and j the decrco has gone forth that women are one-half the people. The decree has j not reached Kentucky yet, but it iH on tho way, and when it arrives the Ken- i tueky legislature will order a now coat of arms for the state, a man and a wom an clasping hands under the motto, "United we stand, divided we fall." People grow in this world, whether [ they want to or not; and the day is com ing when Kentucky men will stand j shoulder to shoulder with the men of | Wyoming on the question of equal j rights. It is only a matter of education. —Mrs. Josephine K. Henry in Southern | Journal. Vultn'a Discoveries. ' Volta, an Italian, made the discovery 1 that two or more different metals are • ! necessary in tho production of electric- | 1 ity. Ho constructed the "battery" or pile of silver and zinc, with several lay- 1 era of moistened paper between them, i ' and with this simple experiment lie pro- j ' dueed all the same effects of electricity | and currents as powerful as electricity produced by friction of glass and sul phur or by amber. This is the origin of j 1 what was known as the "voltaic pile," i 1 which was improved by experimenting j 1 with other substances, and by Volta ! ' himself. Instead of tho two pieces of metal and ; moistened paper, he placed metal ships in cups of water and produced grand re- ' suits. Very little improvement lias been made in the voltaic pile, and today it is little changed from its first invention.— New York Telegram. What Americana Want. Miss North, the author of "Recollec tions of a Happy Life," came to Amcr- ; ica and found her father's young gar dener in New Jersey. Ho asked her to } send homo to got recommendations as to ' his qualifications. lie had brought with j him one which said ho was "honest and ' industrious." Ho told her this sort of j thing did not amount to much. No one ' 1 cared to read that, as tho country itself made ono industrious. What Americans ' wanted to know, ha said, was whether a ! man had the qualifications necessary to ' get along. The inquiry was, "What do | you know?" More Than the Ship Can Carry. Tho Japanese have a remarkable ur- \ rangement that scoops vast quantities of fish into an enormous hag of netting ' hanging beneath the bottom of a vessel. In this receptacle something like thirty j times the cargo can be conveyed to ' market than conld bo carried by the ' ship in the ordinary way. Further more, the merchandise is by this method brought into port alive and conse quently fresh. —i'ittsbnrg Dispatch, 1 THE TAX ON THE CONSUMER. Some Figures Which Ought to Opeu the Eye# of Protectionists. Some people paid a very large amount of money to tlie government in 1891 in tariff taxes. The money was paid hero by tlio importers and was added to the price of the articles. A great many cotton goods ware im ported. Their value was $29,142,000. Tho tax on them was $14,852,696. In other words, for a dollar's worth of cot ton goods tho importer paid about $1.50. If he made an average profit of 10 per cent, on his outlay tho jobber paid at j least $1.05. If the jobber made 15 per cent, the retailer paid about $1.90, and if he in his turn made 20 per cent., the man or woman who bought the goods for wearing apparel paid $2.28 for a dol lar's worth of cotton goods. Of woolen goods $48,000,000 worth were imported, and on them the govern ment collected a tax of $115,000,000, or about 80 per cent. Therefore the im porter paid SI.BO for every dollar's worth of woolens, and if the various dealers made tho average profits assumed above, the consumer paid for his dollar's worth of woolen $2.70. Tariff taxes grow until tho consumer finally pays them. Tho consumer's tax on cottons in the case supposed would be 128 per cent., 78 more than the im porter's; his tax on woolens would bo 170 per cent., or 90 more than the im porter's. This is what a tariff tax signifies to the consumer of cottons and woolen goods.—New York World. What the TuriH' Monologue Tells. i The tariff in its monologue, which is apparently agreeable to the ears of Major McKinley if to nobody else, tell us by object lesson that tho trust is its peculiar and inevitable product. No one needs to be informed that a trust means limitation of production, and that lim ited production means increase in the cost of the things produced; that re striction of production means fewer op portunities for employment and conse quently greater competition among workmen for the places offering, which ; competition in turn presses down wages. ! —San Francisco Examiner. Let Protection Journals Explain. ! The average prices of wool in the United States have always been higher j when tariff duties were low than when tariff duties were high, says the Phila delphia Bocord. This is a fact which protectionist journals cannot explain satisfactorily, anil they therefore gener ally avoid mentioning it. But they do not intermit their efforts to make the wool growers I>elievo that, however it may have been in the past, for the fu ture nothing will prevent the ruin of tho domestic wool industry lmt persist ent high duties upon imported wools.— Scranton (Pa.)

Jinny Doubtful States This Year. The campaign of education has been given a very valuable object lesson as to the merits of high tariff protection and whom it protects, and the results will bo far reaching. Tliero is good promise for the Democratic party in the east and in all tho manufacturing dis tricts which have heretofore gone Re publican, and there is excellent prospect in tho west, where the revolt against the Republican party appears to be perma nent. Doubtful states! There are too many to attempt to enumerate them.— Houston Post. Ail Unwarranted Assumption. Nobody has any right to assume that tho Democratic party will "kill the reci procity system." If any good has been accomplished under Harrison's private dickers tho good will bo preserved. The system itself would, under Democratic rule, Ik) perfected and enlarged. It would bo made to confer benefits upon consnmors in this country equally with foreign consumers.—Erie (Pa.) Herald. What Popular Government Is. The truth of the business is that pop ular government is one long struggle to keep power out of tho hands of vicious men, and tho Democratic party proposes to keep up tho struggle.
