The Spanish Treaty, whereby the
COM. srciai intercourse between Cuba
and Porto Rico, and this country. is
brought to almost a free trade basis,
is meeting with a great deal Of OPP
position. The sugar mon, and to-
bacco men, OF this government op-
pose it, they say that it will ruin
their business. that they cannot com
pete with the cheap labor of the is
lands mentioned. 1t is said that
there are only about 100000 of in
habitants, half Of them negroes, on
tbs islands, and that at best their
trade will not be worth S20,000,00O
per year, while We would be opening
tothem the door to trade with 55.-
O00,000 people. By the tresty this
country will loss the S25,000.0OO
revenue that is collected on the pro-
ducts that are sent from the islands
10 the United States With such
facts IL view it is said that the treaty
Is 10. the kind OF bargain that this
government should make. Ii is also
urged that the governments of the
Islands may not be careful of VIII o
comes 10 enter the open door to trade
with the United StateF, and therefore
commercial people of the old world
will bring their products to the is
lands and afterwards ship them to
the republic SIS products Of the is
lands. Again it is urged that the
administration should not make an
effort to enact trade laws, which pow
Ell belongs TO Congress only. Such
ara tie objections that are heard
against the Spanish Treaty.

Heart Beats.

DR.. \. B. Richardson, of London,
says be was recently able to convey a
considerable amount of conviction to
an intelligent scholar by q simple ex-
pertinent. The scholar was singing
the praises of the 'ruddy bumper,
and saying he could not get through
the day without IT, when De. Richard
son said to him: '"Will you be good
enough to feel my pulse as l stand
here ? He did so. I said, Count 1t
carefully; what does it say? ? Your
pulse says IA 1 then sat down In a
chair. and asked him to countitagain-
He did SO, and said, your pulse has
gone down to 10 / then lay down on
the lounge, and said, will you take 1t
again ? He replied: Why, it is only
Ga; what an extraordinary thing! L
then said: When you lie down at
night, that is the way nature gives
your heart rest. You know nothing
about it, but that organ is resting to
that extent and if you reckon 1t up
it is great deal of rest. because IN
living down the heart is doing ten
strokes less a minute. Multiply that
bv sixty, and it is six hundred; mul'
tiply it by eight hours, and within a
fraction it is five thousand strokes
different and as the heart is throw
Ing six ounces Of blood at every
stroke, it makes a difference of thirty
thousand ounces Of lifting during the
night. When L lie down at night
without any alcohol, that is the rest
my heart gets. But when you take
your wine or grog you do not allow
that rest, you put on something ike
fifteen strokes, and instead ofgetting
this rest, you put on something ike
fifteen thousand extra strokes, and
the result is you rise up very seedy
and unfit for the next days work till
YOU have taken a little more Of the
'ruddy bumper. which you say is the
soul of man below. -Giliard's Jour

liubbed in a Bank.

Syracuse, December l6-Stephen
Linder, who owns seventy acres OF
land, near Fairmount, IN this county
heard that the banks of this city
were in danger, on account of the
failure of Wilkinson & Co He had
S712, the savings OF years, deposited
with the trust and deposit company,
and as his wife and be were about 10
90 to Illinois to visit relatives, and
he felt little shaky about the safety
of his money, he concluded that he
would draw 1t out.
When he entered the bank yes;er
day for that purpose four men stood
in the lobby surrounding the teller
desk. Linder received 500 in one
packge and 1912 in another, as the
teller threw the packages down on
the counter one of the four men
called Linders attention to the fact
that two : bills had fallen on the
floor. The old man stopped to pick
them up, aud one of the other men
seized the $500 package and darted
through tie door followed by the
others.
Asking the forth man to watch the
$500 packge, Lindsr ran into the
street, but could not see the men who
had robbed him. The detectives
have not been able to fnd them, as
neither Lindsr nor the bank clerks
noticed them sufficiently to furnish
a description. The SI00 package
was returned to Linder by the fourth
man, who WAS az honest citizen.
The Peppermint Farmers in Clover.
The unusually high price in pep

the cause OF the selling of thousand
OF pounds Of the oil by the farmers
throughout Wayne county. In SONS

past week sold the whole result of
four or five seasons production of
peppermint. They have carefully
saved their oil year after yesr. not

mer OF Arcadia sold in Lyons on
Monday $1,000 worth of OH at one
time, while a large number sold
quantities OF oil worth from 81. 500
to $4,000 and S2,500 at a single sale.

One very important element is figuring

ment, but I've been careful to ~investi-
gate. Now these trained and skilled pro-
fessional thinkers are forever at work,
prosecuting their independent inquiries,
and putting the results in condensed and
clear shape for the common voter to
digest, and by keeping as nearly as may
be abreast of these scholars, the people
are leaving the politicians in the rear and
rapidly acquiring an Independent and
original power that will eventually carry
them beyond party barriers. My judg-
ment of the present condition of things is
that a strong free-trade party is getting
itself together for busin ess-the symp.
toms are in the air. For a time they will
encounter, like the early abolitionists, the
natural amount of persecution and con-
tempt, but if its leaders hang on like grim

Wendell Phillips, / have no doubt in the
