FARMERS AND MANUFACTURERS.

OF all the "demagogic bosh" that the
advocates of free trade, or an ad UaIO-
rem tariff, have ever gotten of, that
which seeks to array the farmer against
the manufacturer is the most absurd.
Their idea seems to be to induce the
agriculturist to believe that the manu-
facturer has all the benefit of the pro-
lection that a properly adjusted tariff
gives and bears no part OF the taxation
that it entails. This is of course very
ridiculous. The factory man is pro-
tected only in the one article
that he produces and pays the en-
HANGED price of all other protected ar
ticles as much rs the farmer does.
The farmer of this section has protec
ton on his tobacco. William +.
Springer, member of Congress OF
well known free trade views, says the
price of tobacco is enhanced p per
cent by the duty placed upon the
imported article. All factory men
who use tobacco pay this increased
price and it wards off competition
with the finer quality of the weed that
is grown in Cuba. The manufactures
of cotton goods pays the enhanced
price OF metals and the manufacturer
of iron gives as much rs any one else
for his calico and domestics while both
the cotton and the metal manufacturers
are protected against the cheaper
goods that come from Europe. The
tariff is an imposition on no class so
long as it is limited to the necessities
of the government, economically ad-
ministered, and don't create or foster
monopolies. 1t is the best way that
necessary taxes can be collected.
The interest of the manufacturers
and the farmers are inseparably joined.
A purely agricultural country can
never prosper, that is a well demon
strated fact and is the main reason
why the North has been more pros
nerous than the South. Manufacto-
ries maintain large class who con-
s,me farm products and wherever
tbev have been built the price OF band

AN Arkansas darkey recently turned
up in Washington who said there was
a movement ON foot among the ne
groes to bring about a separation of
the races. If this scheme should ever
materialize we want to suggest Kansas
as the land of promise that the govern
ment should allot to the colored pill
grims. The race has shown a prede-
lection for that state and would no
doubt delight to hegirate in that di-
rection. If seven millions make it
too thick a settlement they could
trespass on their Indian neighbors to
the south.

THE death rate among the negroes
always exceeds that among the whites
in the mortuary reports from South
ern cities. This is universally tr ne
but still the negro increase in popula-
ton is much greater than that of the
whites. We believe the cause of this
peculiar fact is that there is less re-
straint on marriage with the negroes
than with the whites. A negro girl
rarely reaches twenty years of age
before becoming mother.

Indian WOOd-C arriving.

There is no reason why the skill and
fancy of Indian wood-carvers should
not be known abroad by large work
suitable for architectural uses as we'll
as by drawing-room ornaments. A
country may be rich in wit and wealth
and yet inherit no birthright of its own
in the great genealogy of artistic style,
and need not think it shame to go
abroad in search of adornments for its
necessarily eclectic architecture. There
is much that the Indian craftsman can
do which cannot, to put it in homely
phrase, be done anywhere else under
heaven for love or money. The best
that he is capable of has scarcely by
this generation been asked for. And
when, humbly anxious to please. he has,
with great pains and labor, produced
his copy of European work, we turn
round and abuse him for his instructed
industry. But is the fault entirely his !?
He is the least speculative of mortals,
and only makes what will sell. He il
innocent of many of the fine sentiments
attributed to him, and his whole being
is by no means centred in poetry aud
metaphysics; but he has wonderful
hands, and is born heir to fine dec
orative traditions. In this matter OF
carven woodwork skillful architects
could find many details which might be
built into modern domestic construc-
tons with admirable effect. An inter
esting experiment was tried recently b :
Mr. Lockwood De Forest, of New \ OK,
who, during a recent protracted visit to
this country, organized band of wood
carvers of Ahmedabad. Among the
works wrought by these men may he
instanced copies of the beautiful
windows in perforated sandstone of the
Bhudder, which may be considered as
types of the best qualities of Indian de-
sign. Such demands made by artists
and those who care for art can be fully
met, and would do more than anything
else to convince the people of the folly
of neglecting their own plastic forms.

A Georgia Mans WAY.

1t was a bleak, raw, April day as we
ran down into South Carolina. There
was no fire in the coach, nor would
there have been need of any if the win
dows could have been kept down. A
chap from Quitman, GA, who had
lately peeled off his fannels and who
felt as cold as a sheared lamb, sue
ceeded after awhile in getting all the
windows down but one. That was on
the right-hand side, third seat from the
front, and the seat was occupied by a
fat man with red face.
"Sir, won't you please lower that
Window" asked the Georgian.
What for?"
"To keep out the cold"
"I'm none too cold"
But it lets dust in.
Il have no objection to dust"
Nothing further was said, but the
Georgian presently opened the stove
door and took out about pint of ashes
and wrapped them up, and at the next
station he dropped off the car and took
the one ahead. Ten minutes after
starting up the train entered deep
cut, and the fat man was observed to
bob off his seat and dig his eyes and
Jump up and down as if he had hornets
in his boot-legs. Indeed, he swore-
swore black and blue and green. He
swore he'd sue the company, and he
swore he'd kill the engineer, and it was
good two hours before he could open
one eye wide enough to swear that in
his first moment of surprise his gold
spectacles had fallen off and he had
trampled them under foot.

asked of the Georgian.

Avoid chilling the body by sitting OF
standing undressed on the banks or in

Earthuuakes.

According to that en- nent physicist,
T. W. Rudfer, seven at the present
day, after all that has been written on
the subject, but little is known as to
the origin of earthquakes" The gen.
eral opinion Ct investigators is that
these agitations proceed from within
outward, and are not of atmospheric or
other external origin. True, Prof.
Alexis Perry, of Dion, France, thought
he had discovered relations between
the ages of the moon and these recur-
rences, which seemed to sustain the
theory of Zantedschi, that the liquid
nucleus of the earth responds to the
moons attraction in tides, somewhat as
the ocean does; but the theory that the
earth has a liquid nucleus covered with
only thin, solid crust is losing adj
herents continually. The theory Of
vibration communicated by meteorio
impact has been advanced as account
ing for some earthquakes. Another
theory is that earthquakes are caused
in some instances by steam from water
rushing into the bowels of volcanoes or
from explosions OF pent-up gases, gen
Grated by chemical decomposition of
minerals. Others believe that many of
these phenomena are due to magnetic
disturbances, following eruptions in the
sun. The prevailing opinion still is
that whatever their origin, whether of
one cause, or various causes, the vibra-
tions of every earthquake can be traced
to a focus within the earth, and that
this lies directly beneath the point of
greatest disturbance on the earth's sur
face. After the great shock at Naples
in 1857, Mr. Mallet, aided by the Royal
Society, by determining the wave paths
of the shock at twenty-six different sta
tons, was able to locate the focal depth
of the earthquake at about five and
half miles; and Dr. Oldham by observa-
tons on the wave effects of the earth
quake which occurred at Cachar, In
dia, on JAN 10, 1869, found that the
focus of disturbance must have been
thirty miles below the surface. This is
very near the maximum depth at which
any earthquake is likely to originate, if
we accept the reasoning of that most
eminent of all investigators of this class
of phenomena, Mr.. Mallet, of Dublin,
Ireland. There are credible records of
between 5000 and 1000 earthquakes
between 1906 b. G.. and 1912 A. ID.
Prof. Fuchs more-careful observations
of recent years show that there were
probably many times that number of
unrecorded ones, since he registered
ninety-seven during the year 1875 and
1O4 during 1876. In view of this fact
this subject appears to be one of the
notwithstanding problems of nature and
is attracting growing attention, which,
it is hoped, will probably lead to def
mite, satisfactory conclusions.
