The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-12-16

A movement is now in progress in this
country which is destined to prove the
ruin of protet tionism. 1t is known that
the Western Patrons and English CO.
operative societies have entered into an
alliance, offensive and defensive, for dis.
pensing,with middlemen, and exchanging
their respective produce in kind. The
Patrons, for instance, will send the
Rochdale and other associations orders
for thousand blankets, thousand
spades and shOve!s, and for cotton goods
and various kinds OF goods that can be
obtained SO much cheaper in England.
At the same time the patrons will ship
corn and other produce in sufficient guam
THY to pay for the goods. But oa the arri-
val of the English good in New York the
patrons will obtain clos + insight than
ever before into the mysteries of our
tariff They will be met by a demand on
the part of the custom house officials for
say $50, 900 in gold for payment of duties
We can imagine the nature of the discus
sion that will take place in the various
oranges when they are called on to pay
their respective quota Of duties. If our
beneficient tariff long survives the results
of these discussions, we greatly mistake
the good sense of American farmers In
tact it will be Schulze Delitzch move.
ment on more extended sphere. The
free interchange of commodities is false
becoming one OF the necessities of the
times, and all the casuistry protection
ism cannot long impede the result.

ELEPHANTS PREFERRED.-Ther returns
from 500 counties in the greater part of
the country where sheep are kept show
that rs, 2S5 were killed last year by dogs.
As this loss discOurages the business the
aggregate is stated at Sl,000,000. Blu,
the annual relative loss of any of these
passing years is far greater. because the
dogs were equally destructive 10 years
ago, and thousands of farmers refused to
keep sheep. During the past ten years
there was a large range in Illinois, In
diana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota,
on which sheep might have been kept,
but the grass grew and rotted. and now
these ranges have become cultivated
fields, and cannot hereafter be occupied
In Nebraska, Kansas, and in several of
the Southern States as well, vacant range
can st,ll be had. but the dogs forbid its
being utilized. and it is not too much 20
say that the sheep interest suffers dam
age OF not less than $20.o00, 900 a year.
Ouch a sum in the hands of the careful
producing classes would rapidly accu-
mulate and form heavy capital which
could be invested in improvements of
various kinds, such as would add largely
to the business of the country and the
comfort of the people. The number OF
these worthless ours of low degree is by
no means large. but they form the most
costly stock in the whole land. Each
one OF them probobly prevents 500 sheep
from living. and we could afford to keep
elephants instead, since they would cos;
no more. and then we would have their
ivory. But the dogs must live to use
their ivory in assassinating our sheep.

A Canine Fire Alarm.

A lady of Covington, Ky, has fine Newfoundland dog. One unusually cold night she permit ted him to remain in the dining room near the fire. After she had been asleep for some time the dog came to her door and showed signs of great uneasiness, but she sent him away. He came the second and third time. Then she supposed that something must be the matter, and followed him to the dining-room, wEere she found that large piece of coal had fal- len and burned through the floor, leaving a large cavity through which could still be seen the red hot coal in the cellar. The poor fellow had fought the flame. there by arresting its progress until he could get his mistress to come to his assistance. His fore feet were sadly burned; but his wonderful sagacity was highly appreciated and he received from his mistre the utmost care and attention.

Strange Things.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, Aug. 29.-A remarkable discovery has been made on an island in the Missis- sippi, eight miles below here, by some fishermen, of a subterranean cave, carved out of the solid rock, which h a d undoubtedly been made thousands of years ago. It was reached by stone steps. The floor of this cavity was thickly streWn with ashes and charred remains of bones and substances which they took to be dead leaves; first wetted and then pressed to- gether and resembling in color and solidity the cake from oat- meal. Among the dry ashes they picked up three tuskS about the size of a bOar's tooth, and still lower the boat hook came in con. tact with hard substance which proved to be a skull bone, polish ed as walnut, and perfect in every respect and of extraordinary size. On further examination almost a complete skeleton was discovered; but the most singular part came to light in the hardened and al most petrified leather straps, bronze buckles and a wooden leg, which continued the right ex- tremity. that limb having been removed midway between the hip and knee. This is very in- teresting discovery, proving that knowledge of bronze was among the learning of the aboriginal mechanics and that their skill in those days was equal at least to the adoption of a timber extrem- ity.

 "Well, bub," replied Bijah, as he finished hanging up the broom, "this currency question hothers many besides you, though it's clear enough to me. You see that twenty-five cent scrip, don't you?"
 The boy remarked that he did, and Bijah placed it on the win w-sill, weighed it down with a peach stone, and continued:
 "That bit of paper is marked 9 cents, but is it % cents? Is it anything more than a piece of papel?"
 Il dunno," "solemnly replied the boy.
 "Has that bit of paper any real value beyond it's being a promise to pay?" demanded Biah.
 "What paper?"
 "That 'ere twenty-fve-"
 He stopped there, Some one had sneaked up the alIey-way and stolen both scrip and peach stone. "Never mind," concluded the boy; "it hadn't any intrinsic val ue."
 "It hadn't, eh?" growled the old janitor. "I just want to catch the wolf who absorbed it."

DEATH BED REPENTANCE.

DEATH BED REPENTANCE. "Joseph Lawlor," said his Hon. or, as a raggededged individual meandered out of the corridor, ''yOur doom is sealedi"
 "I'm awful sorry, sir" replied the prisoner. "I've been crying all the morning, and"
 "Prisoner at the bar, you have been here time and time again; you have Lied to meAa dozen times; you have taken solemn oaths only to break them; you have skulked under a brush fence like gopher when you might have sat on a reserved seat and been seen by all men. like Pig Iron Kelly. I am going to barrel you up for ninety days"
 'I cried for more'n four hours this morning, and I promised the angels that I would break right off"
 "I can't help'the angel business; you are going up. Lead him in into the corridor. Bijah, chalk his back in one form, and then set him down on that old stove boiler to mediate the wait. The court is patient and long-suffering, but she can't endure everything"

 "Ah that's the way of life John CObard. Somewhere or other I've seen a poem commencing:
 "Of allsad words of,tOngue or pen,

 Have you any excuse to offer?"
 "Yes, Sir-I sell fish"

 "Yes, do, sir"

 "You'll agree to quit holleringw
 "I will-:just try me once."
 "Well," continued his Honor, as he snuffed at big harvest ap- pie, "I'll let you off on these con ditions. If yon have fish to sell it don't follow that you must scream a house down to make sale.

The WONDERFUL SNAKES OF KENTUCKY
While out hunting on last Tuesday Mr.. Rich
ard Ives discovered large cave in the side of
hill under a rock, and while opposite heard
the seueelng of pigs inside. He stepped close
to the mouth of the cave to investigate the
matter, and to his horror saw protruding the
head of an immense rattlesnake, with pig in its
mouth. The pig was about four months old,
and weighed about seventy five pounds. He
summonded a number of his neighbors, with
guns and pithforks, who built a large fire In
the mouth of the cave, in order to drive the
snakes out. In about an hour they commenced
pouring cut over the burning cools. AS they
approached in sight the parties fired upon
them from the top of the cliff. They continued
to pour out until the surrounding woods for
twenty yards square was literally covered with
dead and live snakes. They killed 80, but
many made their escape. The largest one kill
ed-a male-was ten feet long, and measured
around the body one and a-half feet. The next
largest, female, was seven feet long and
measured one foot around the body. The lar
gest snakes have been preserved in alcohol
and will be on exhibition at our fair, free Of
charge The snake referred to had ITO rattles.
The cave was literally filed with heads Of
sheer, pigs, etc., which had been captured from
the surrounding country.-Fords Southern

The "Bonamsa'' Fyrm,s Weasth.

The San Francisco Chronicle, in writing Of
the "Bonanza" firm of Flood, o'Brien, Mackey
& Fair, says:
It's wealth is SO vast, and its undertakings SO
intimately connected with the public interest,
that the members who compose the firm come
properly within the scope of newspaper criti-
cism.
The "Bonanza" firm, as it is popularity des-
ignated, is by its wealth clothed with power
that may be welded to the promotion of the
public interests, or it may be exercised to the
great injury of the community. If the well
authenticated estimate of the value of their
mining property is to be credited it cannot be
less than hundreds of millions. II the Bonan-
"a mines can be relied on to produce in the fu-
ture as they have produced in the last twelve
months, and give to their yield continuance
indicated by the present dimensions of their
ore deposit, it can safely be said that the firm
in question is the richest in the world. The
wealth of the Hopes of Amsterdam, the Roths-
childs of Frankfort, the corporation of the Bank
Of England will in brief time be evershadowed
by their millions.
The Consolidated Virginia mine produces
two million dollars per month. The Califor-
MIA promises, after January, to yield the same
amount. The ownership Of the Gould & Cur
ry, the Savage, Beat Il B-lcher, the Andes anu
other of the Comstock mines, is accredited to the
same firm. Five millions per month is not an
improbable yield in the immediate future from
these mines-sxty millions per annum not
in railway bonds, nor stock of corporations,
nor in paper securities, nor vague promises to
pay, but the ores go from the mine to the mill,
from the mill to the mint, and from the mint
to their vaults in bags of golden double eagles.
The continuance of such an income for
generation would suffice to pay the National
debt. 1t is equal to the revenue of kingdom;
it gives power that Emperors do not enjoy.
One years income would build transconti
mental railway, another would purchase the
American navy, and ten years wnuIt buy the
real estate, the lands and houses of san Fran
cisco. The men whom accident has elevated
to this dizzy height must accept, with their
wealth, the responsibilities Of their positions
they have a right to demand honest criticism
and no. toadying subserviency. Such an op-
portunity to achieve an honorable reputation
is seldom offered as is now presented to the
members composing this firm. The communi-
ty only asks from them just and generous con-
duct commensurate with the firms great
wealth and great power.

From the Annual of Phrenology and Physiogomy.
The World is What We Make IL.


I've seen some people in this life
Who always are repining,
Who never, never yet could see
The storm clouds silver lining.
There always something is amiss,
From sunrise to its setting;
That Gods hand made their map of life,
They seem the while forgetting.
And have seen blessed sight
To sin-beclouded vision,
Some people who, where'er they be,
Make earth seem an Elysian.
They always see the brightest side
The direful shadows never
And keep the flower of hope in bloom
Within their hearts forever.
The one can make the sunniest day
Seem wondrous sad and dreary;
The other smiles the clouds away,
And makes dark day CHEEKY.
This life of ours is, after all,
About as we shall make it.
If we can Danish grief and care,
Lets haste to undertake it.
