RESULT OF REPUBLICAN POLICY.

Wilmington tDeLi star.
Factories are closing; furnaces are
blown out; shops are silent, men are
standing around idle and anxious and
hungry. Goods are down; stocks are
down; people are down in mouth; business
is down; wages are down; everything is
down except taxation. That is high
enough to make glad the heart of monopo-
ly, and the cry of Blaine and Logan is
more taxation, higher taxation. Their
doctrine is that the road to prosperity runs
Overt the hill of taxation-that to bleed
the people of 100000 900 annually
500, 100000 of which shall be a surplus
is the sure way to make the country
prosperous And still down, down, down
go the prices and out, out, out go the
workmen, turned out to idleness, because
there are more goods made by double
than the country needs.

The RABBITS OF Monkeys.

Renroer, who studied the American
monkeys carefully says that they evil
IDENTIFY understand each others GEES
lures, and this is evident enough to all
who spend little time in large col
lection of them They have their likes
and dislikes, and submit to be leased
and bullied by some favorite. although
of different species; the contrary, how
ever, is the usual occurrence, and they
resent familiarities very readily. Per-
haps the most amusing instance of this
fondness is given by Mr.. Darwin, who
had it from the Superintendent of the
Gardens. Two chimpanzees, which
were rather older animals than those
usually brought to England, were in
troduced to each other for the first
time. ''They sat opposite, touching
each other with their much protruding
lips, and the one put his hand on the
shoulder of the other. They then
mutually folded each other in their
arms. Afterward they stood up, each
with one arm on the shoulder of the
other, lifted up their heads, opened
their mouths, and yelled with delight. :"
Mr.. Bartlett, of the Geological Gar
dens, states that the faculty of atten-
ton which is necessary for imitation,
obedience and teaching is very vari-
able one among the same species of
MONKEYS, and told Mr. Darwin the fol-
lowing anecdote: "a man who trains
monkeys to act used to purchase com
| mon kinds from the Geological Society
at the cost of Is for each, but he offered
to give double that price if he might
keep three or four of them for few
DAYS in order to select one. When
asked how he could possibly SO soon
learn whether particular monkey
would turn out good actor, he ans
swered that it all depended on their
| power of attention. If when he was
talking and explaining anything to a
monkey its attention was easily dis
tracted, as by fly on the wall or other
trifing object, the case was hopeless.
If he tried punishment to make an in
attentive monkey act it turned sulky.
| On the other hand, monkey which
carefully attended to him could always
be trained CasselPS Natural History.

Whereas II charged that the present system OF trans

Whereas II appears by a report of the Committee on
Agriculture OF this House January u, 1901 that the
loss by shrinkage alone in the weight OF animals
caused by this system Of transportation amounted
1870 and must now be nearly quite $16,OOoOOO per

aggregate tax necessary article OF food
which must bs borne by producer ana consumer alike,
diminishing the Just profits of the meagTOwers OF the
West and placing meat food in many instances beyond
the reach OF the poor men IN the East; and.
