FREELAND, PA., APRIL 2, 1900. |
In the Antipodes.
From the Philadelphia North American.
.State Senator Bucklla, of Colorade,
who has just returned from Australasia,
where he has been investigating the
colonial tax system by authority of the
Colorado legislature, has brought back
an Interesting budget of information.
He findi that New Zealand ie steadily
moving in the direction of the single
tax. Local option in taxation prevails
there, and one district after another ie
putting its taxes on land values.
The advanced social legislation in
New Zealand on various lines is so
popular that the progressive party has
remained in power through several
elections, and now is almost without
opposition. /There are no tramps and
no visible destitution in the colony.
Land speculation has been killed. Em
ployment is more assured than with us,
living expenses are less and life is "less
strenuous and exhausting."
In all the Australian colonies, of
course, the governments own the rail
roads and telegraphs. There i 6 equal
service for all, and trusts do not have
the assistance of transportation systems
in crushing out competitors. There is
no disposition anywhere to return to
private ownership. On the contrary,
the few remaining private roads arc ,
going into the possession of the public. j
When Senator Bucklin landed at 1
Bluff, on the extreme southern point of ,
the South Island of New Zealand, he
sent a telegram to Auckland, 1,100
miles, for sixpence. The message had i
to go for a considerable part of its j
journey through a rough and thinly j
populated country, and it had to travel
fifty miles or more by cable.
When Mr. Bucklin got to San Fran
cisco he sent a message to his wife in
Colorado, about the same distance, and
the cost was 75 cents—just six and a
half times the New Zealand rate. The
dispatch went by land, over a route that
was carrying an immense amount of
through business, which was lacking in
New Zealand, and the cost of trans
mitting it must have been much less
than in the antipodes.
New Zealand and Colorado have a
good deal in common. The women vote
in both, for one thing. Perhaps when
Mr. Bucklin's report is read Colorado
may introduce some more New Zealand
experiments in this country.
Shuttles Off Steam.
"Shall we stop our advertising for
a while now?" This Is a question that
some business men are apt to ask them
selves occasionally. Suppose your en
gineer asked you: "Shall I stop put
ting coal on the fires, sir?" What
would you reply? "Why. no—unless
you want the engine to stop!"'
The advertiser who thinks ho has
advertised so long and se steadily that
"our name and specialties are well
known, and we intend to advertise
again when business is better in our
line than it appears to be now; the
meantime our business won't stop,"
should pause and think awhile.
The engine does not stop the minute
the men suspend shoveling in coal.
The point Is, however, that when the
engine is to be started again, ten times
as much will have been lost in power
as has been saved in fuel and feed.
Using up reserve force never pays. It
is a loss, however it may be looked at.
The buying public is prone to forget.
It Is, moreover, much inare difficult and
much more expensive, to regain a lost
customer than to prevent his straying
away.
Are the trusts good for workingmen?
Well, the steel trust paid $400,000 to the
proprietors of the Joliet steel mills for
shutting down and throwing 2,200 men
out of work. The proprietors had the
S4<X),OOO and the men had to face star
vation.
We believe it was the trouble of Mr.
Carnegie's works that spelled the
chances of Mr. Harrison's re-election,
and it looks as though the history of
eight years ago will repeat Itself this
fail.
A VAST ARMY.
Men Employed in the Minnesota Pin
eries This Winter.
Contracts for the delivery of about
600,000.000 feet of pine logs to mills in
this section by railroad have recently
been closed. This ie In addition to*the
enormous quantity that will be handled
on lodging railroads owned by the com
panies that also do the logging. Of
these contracts the Wisconsin divisions
of the Northern Pacific Road has closed
a total of about 260,000,000 feet, part of
which will he delivered at this city and
part at Ashland. The Duluth & Iron
Range Road will haul 160.000.000 feet to
this city, and the other iron range
roads about 100,000.000 feet. These con
tracts are for deliveries during the
coming winter, and are an Indication
of the activity in the pine lumbering
section at he head of the lakes. As
much more will be handled in the
northeastern part of Minnesota and the
Ashland, Wis., districts this winter on
roads owned by distinctively logging
corporations.
In Northern Minnesota alone an army
of 15,000 men will attack the standing
pine, assisted by thousands of horses
and oxen. These men will receive an
aggregate monthly wage of about $400,-
000, and they will be employed till the
spring breakup. Lumbermen look for a
continuation of the present era of ac
tivity and high prices for a long time,
indeed they expect never to see the
low prices for pine of the past few
years. The supply is becoming more
and more limited year by year, as the
forests are entered by such an army of
choppsrs, and the standing pine yet re
maining uncut is rapidly becoming the
property of manufacturing corpora
tions large enough to hold till they are
ready to cut, while the demand is in
creasing at a rate faster than the cap
acity of mills. A very large share of
lumber cut in this region, especially in
lower grades, goes into boxes and pack
ing cases, and that the price of these
grades should have advanced to per
cent in the past nine months is an in
dication of how tremendous the de
mand for boxes has become.
Lumbermen of thla district have nev
er before made sales for the succeed
ing year before late in the winter, or
until sawing began in the spring. But
last week sales were made here of
30,000.000 feet of the lowest grades of
the cut to be made after next April
at top prices. Several mills sold their
entire season s cut of these grades, re
ceiving $10.60 for what was worth s€.&)
last February, sl3 for what then
brought $6.50, and $6.60 for a grade
that in past years has been considered
worth almost nothing and that has
been figured as about paying the saw
bill. Every lumberman who will dis
pose of his product in advance is being
Importuned to do so, and 400.000.00q
feet of Duluth lumber could be sold In:
a week to buyers from New Tork, New
England, Eastern Michigan and Chica
go. This would be practically all next
year's cot for the mills on deep water
in this harbor.
Shipments by water to these Eastern
points out of Lake Superior will exceed
1,000,000,000 feet, and a single months'
forwardlngs are more than was sent in
a whole summer so lately as 1687. More
than 126 ships have been engaged ex
clusively in the carrying of lumber
from this lake to the East this year,
and at prices that have paid profits
that would buy the ships at last
spring's values. Many a ship contract
ed lust spring for the aeason with an
agreement that the lessee might buy la
ter In the year at a then agreed figure,
has already been bought under the op
tion out of its own net profits for the
summer. Rates hare been more than
double the year before, and for most of
the season there have been half a dozen
cargoes for every available vessel.
For the first time railroads have In
vaded the cargo market and have car
ried scores of million of feet of tim
ber from here to points as far East as
Pittsburg and Central Pennsylvania,
making rates satisfactory to them
selves under those the ship interests
would accept.
Timber lands have doubled and tre
bled in price the past season, and are
still advancing, with sales amounting
to millions of dollars monthly.—Minne
apolis Times.
A Horseless Farmer.
For 30 years William Johnson, a far
mer near Kokomo, Ind., has run a farm
of six acres and never had a horse on
the place. He is known throughout the
section as "the horseless farmer." He
raises corn, potatoes, cabbage, celery,
melons and all kinds of vegetables, all
the land being under cultivation. John
son does all the werk himself by hand
planters and hand harvesters. Kven
the marketing is all done by hand. He
trundles hi 9 crops to town in a wheel
barrow, making an average of three
trips a day the year round. In the 3d
years Johnson and his wheelbarrow
have travelled 165,060 miles—nearly
seven times around the world. When a
boy he was kicked by a horse, and
since then he has had nothing to do
with horses. —N. Y. Tribune.
Killarney Lakes Bring $225,000.
The largo hall of the Ancient con

includes the Lakes ef Killarney. The
bidding started at £35.000. but the price
soon jumped te £45,000. Then the bid
ding slackened, but crawled up slow
ly. by £SOO at a time, till it reached
£60,000. The vender then bid £51,000,
and the sale wae adjourned. Three
Dublin solicitors were practically the
only bidders. Tt is announced that pri

Policeman's Unique Excuse.
Officer Charles Kemble, of Long Isl

ing absent from duty for ewe hour. He
excused himself on the ground that he
overslept while in a Turkish bath.
"Tt is a fact," said Police Commis
sioner A bell, "that Turkish baths are
very seductive. The next time you go
Into one insist upon the attendants'
rousing you In time, though he perish
in the attempt."
The Commissioner, after administer
ing a gentle reprimand to the officer,
dismissed the case.

HOUSE OF SORROW.
The Traveler Couldn't Expect Very
Effusive Courtesy.
The Colonel halted his horse in front
of a Dakota dugout and uttered a vig
orous "Hello!" and after a minute a
tow -headed girl of about 16 years of
age showed up and looked him over

' Can I get anything to eat here?"
"Not a thing."
' And water for my horse?"

"Yep, but he got snake-bit yesterday j
and don't feel well." #
"Well, what about you?" persisted !
the Colonel. "You seem to be all right." J
"Oh, but 1 ain't," she replied, as she
made ready to disappear. "I was to git I

"Bob" Palmer, the comedian, had
been originally a billsticker, a fact
pretty generally known among his col
leagues of the stage. One evening, when
dressed for the character of Sir Bril
liant Fashion, he strutted into the
greenroom with the buckles sparkling
on his shoes and a fine diamond an his
fingers. A brother actor inquired if his
gems were real. "To be sure they are;
T wear nothing but diamonds," was ,
the reply, whereupon Bannister re- j
marked: "I congratulate you. Bob, for
I remember when you wore nothing but
paste." Palmer did not take the joke
with becoming good humor, and an an
gry altercation ensued, which was on
ly broken when Mrs. Jordan cried out:
"Why don't you stick him against the
wall, Bob? Stick him against the wall!"

tice medicine?" "Certainly, madam;

SAVING SYSTEM.
That of France Tends to Form Habits
of Thrift.
! The Government report on the oper
-1 ations of the savings banks of France
in 1897 shows that the thrifty habits
of the French people in the matter of
small savings are well maintained. The
aggregate amount due depositors at
the end of the year was $661,329,700, an
increase of about $4,000,000 over the
preceding year. The number of b nk
books in use was 6,772,682, representing
one depositor for every five and a half
■ persons in the eountry. Under the law
| of 1896 the maximum deposit is now
; 1.600 francs, or $289.60, and the average
| deposit less than S9B.
In the number of depositors and in
I the amount of savings France is, how
| ever, in proportion to population, far
j behind those states in this country in
which the savings bank system is cs-
I tahllshed. New York, with 1.806,880 ac
j counts and $766,684,916 of deposits, and
I Massachusetts, with 1.384.289 accounts
1 and $478,919,094 of deposits, lead the list,
| but in all the New England States and
in New Jersey, Maryland and Califor
nia the per capita deposits are far be
yond those of any country of Europe.
Comparisons based on these figures,
however, would be unfair, as the limit
of the individual deposit is much high
er in this country. In France the sav
ings bank is strictly what the name
implies—not a bank of deposit for cap
ital, but a convenience for the accumu
lation of petty savings too small to oe
taken care of in any other way. Ac
counts are opened for sums as small
as one cent per month, and children's
deposits are encouraged. Of the total
depositors in 1897 the number of mi
nors was 96,688 boys and 92,800 girls.
It is the care of these savings and
of those of the wage workers which is
the special function of the French sav
ings hank system. The system tends to
form the habit of prudence and thrift
ir the young—an excellent thing too
much neglected In this land of the free
and the happy-go-lucky.—N. Y. World.
BOY'S HEROISM.
Made Him Heir to a Fortune of One
Million Dollars.
Cornelius McCarthy, the proprietor
of a little cigar store at Sixteenth and
Jackson streets, Philadelphia, has fal
len heir to a fortune estimated at no
'•as than $1,000,000. His old friend,
John McCarthy, with whom he passed
many days as a boy, died a few days
ago at his home in Ireland and left it
to him. His benefactor had been Post
master, Peace Commissioner and a man
of much influence in the County of
Cork.
If he bore any relationship at all to
Cornelius McCarthy it was very dis
tant. But the old man had never mar
ried and had no close kin. When he re
turned to Ireland, after a rough but
successful experience in the Australian
gold fields, a warm attachment grew
up between him and young Cornelius,
then a post boy employed at the office
of which the rich man had been plac ed
at the head.
One day the old man tried to ford the
river Lee on horseback, and his horse
floundered in the swift current and
pitched his rider Into the .river, where
he struck his head on a rock and was
stunned. Cornelius, riding by his side,
| jumped in and pulled him out.
This act was never forgotten. When
| the boy made a resolve to start out
himself in search of fortune the old
man placed £lO in his hand, and he
has written the young man frequently
; since the latter came to Philadelphia.
! The newly made millionaire is about
j 30 years old, and has a wife and little
girl The letter which told of his good
luck was from James Hickey, a lawyer
j in Cork.
! McCarthy says he will continue to
• live in Philadelphia.—Exchange.
Russian Alcohol Monopoly.
The monopoly of the sale of alcohol
| in Russia, says the Chicago Tribune,
I was applied January 1. 1896. in four
eastern provinces; on July 1, 1896. to
nine others in the south and southwest
and in 1897 to all the empire. The fiscal
result has been most satisfactory. The
| receipts from taxes were 37,000,000 ru
! bles, while under the new system the
| Government receives 56.000.000 ruble*
Le Monde Economlque, in a discussion
, of the monopoly, aasertH that from a
; hygienic point of view the monopoly
has had good results. A better quality
of spirits is sold, the number of dram
shops has been reduced the sale of
j liquor on credit has been suppressed,
; and increased deposits in the Govern
ment Ravings banks show that a smal
ler proportion of the earnings of the
peasants is spent for liquor. Finally,
there has been a noticeable diminution
. in drunkenness and in those crimes
and misdemeanors which are caused by
; intoxication.

days ago James B. Woodward, while
hunting in the hills, saw the animal in
