LONDON StaHuHTu.
The late Mr.. Peter Cooper of Boston, had
also, unquestionably, acquired dollars
enough to entite him to the rank of mil
lionaire, and there are scores of his fellow
citizens held in profound esteem as warm
men," solid men," or, less vaguely, MS
"seven-fgure men," All of these men of
wealth sink, however into insigniiicance be-
side Mr. Mackay, of Nevada, whose silver
mines yield more abundanty than ever did
those of Potosi. Though he left Ireland as
poor as man well can be, his income has
been stated at as much as a million dollars
week. Perhaps the most pleasing feature
about these great American fortunes is that
there seems to be little If any jealousy on
the part of their less successful couutrymen
toward the possessors OF them.

THE London Times, the great mouthpiece
of British industries and British interests,
is quick to discern the strongest point of an
enemy's attack. Speaking of the recent
Irish American convention at Philadelphia,
it says: THE only practical suggestion
made by the convention for injuring Great
Britain is advice to the people of Ireland to
buy nothing from England unless obliged
to-" Ii the patronage of a few millions of
people is of such moment to the British
Empire what must be the value of the trade
of nation of $4,000, 900? The Times thus
incidentally confesses that the Irish of
America can do the British government
more harm through maintaining protective
tariff in America than By any other
measure they could adopt. Win the Irish

Mr.. SEW Morr. TARIFF VIEWS


Eioratio scymore does not define BIZ
position ON the tariff question with th'
accuracy and precision which usual,
characterize his views. He evidently ip
clines to tariff for revenue, but doe
not insist upon tariff for revenue only
At least he does not object to TART
which protects, il the raising Of revenue
is its.ostensible purpose. An inclination
to as low tariff as is consistent with tn,
needs Of the government in the way o
revenue is apparent in the remark "tha'
as transportation is now mainly upon the
railroads, the cost Of carrying must BE-
influenced by the cost Of building sucl
roads," The truth Of this remark is
self evident. .fat the increased cost Of
railroads through the duty on iron is
small compared to the increased apparent
cost through the stock.watering process.
Admitting that'rates uust be fixed SO as
to pay dividends or the.stoek and inter
est on the bonds, the result to the public
is the same, WHETHER this cost is real OF
fictitious. II is o well,known fact that a
large portion Of stock in nearly all Ameri-
can railroads represent fictitious capital
that is capital created by the-franchise.
The assumed necessity Of paying divi-
dends on this kind of capital is much
greater tax on the public than that in

roads. The present duty on Bessemer
steel rails is about thirty per cent. Of the
cost in this country and is sufficient to
cover the greater cost Of production in
this country than in England. It would
b very dangerous experiment to reduce
that duty to point that would admit
English iron. Not only would the vast
capital now inverted in iron works be
sacrificed, but thousands of men would

Grass THAT Turned INTo SNAKES
A correspondent of the Montana Labor
Union, writing from the Yellowstone and
4" Bad Lands country says: "Travel-
ing through the Bad Lands, after having
thirsted FOR several days, we spied a
ravine that had some green grass in it..
We pulled it up and found little water
trickling over solid rock. We dipped
with cup from depression in the stone,
and after filling ten-gallon keg, noticed
that the grass roots were alive and were
entangling themselves. We put two
roots in the water in pail, and carried
them half mile to camp. They had
sufficient locomotion to enable them to
raise their heads and crawl over the side
of the pail. They were about the size Of
knitting needle, three feet long, and
the same color that grass roots generally
are. Natural history has no account Of
any similar curiosity, and we have nc
hypothesis explaining the origin OF such
formation, lest it be by analogous com.

and generated into what children call
horse hair snakes.

knows who is the Printers Devil, but
there are few who know how he came to
be so dubbed. Printing used to be called
the Black Art. and the boys who assisted

cording to legend, Aldus Manutius,' a
priuter.o Of Venice, took little negro boy
left behind by merchant vessel, to as
sist him in his business. 1t soon got
wind that Aldus was assisted by little
black imp, and to dispel the rumor, he
showed the boy to the assembled crowd,
and said, /" Be it known to Venice, that
I, Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy
Church and Dodge; have this day made
public exposure Of the printers devil.
All who think he is not flesh and blood,
may come and pinch him." The people
were satisfied, and no longer molested the
negro lad.
