THE INEVITABLE RESULT.
Why Tariff Tinkering Is Bound to Iniur,
the WORKING. CIaaxau


the Working Classes.
With the tariff on steel rails at the
present figure foreign manufacturers
are able to enter the American market
and lay down their products, after
adding ocean transportation and GUS
toms charges, at price which leaves
only narrow margin of profit to the
home manufacturer who meets it. In
other words, the rail-makers Of Amer
lea, with all the advantages of inn
proved processes and plants, an mex
haustible supply of iron ores almost
at their mill doors, and a market close
at hand, find it no easy matter, even
with the aid of a duty OF seventeen
dollars per ton, to compete with mills
whose product must be freighted a
distance Of three thousand miles, and
then pay an import tax. Take away
any part of this import tax, and you
leave the American manufacturer but
one alternative-ei to close down
his works and leave his costly plant to
rust in idleness and his workmen and
their families to starve, or else reduce
the cost of production by reducing
wages. That is what it comes to at
last. The American working-man must
stand the brunt OF the Democratic
policy of wholesale cutting down Of
customs taxation Chicago Nail.

D0The Republican party is pecul-

friends OF this man or that should not
work like beavers to nominate the

The present year is the fifth year Of
modern times in which the aggregate
of the figures is twenty five. and there
viii be but five more years in which such
q combination is possible prior to the
year 2599. Probably but few have ever
heard Of the old prophecy, which runs
as follows:
In every future year of our Lord,
When the sum OF the figures is twenty-five,
Some warike kingdom viii draw the

Blu peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students Of modern history will
readily recall how faithfully this proph-
4ecy has been fulfilled in the four pre-
vious years to which it applied.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark, and Po-
land formed the coalition against Sweden
which inaug rmated the great war that
ended in the disastrous defeat of

NOsoLoGY EXPLAINED.
What Poets and Philosophers Have Foun
to Say on the Snhiacf

AFO0S0 anu AAAO6OPucI6 118V0 EOuuU
to Say on the Subject.
Thomas Moore differs from me. for
he writes. quite oblivious of Lavater:
In vain we fondly strive to trace,
The souls reflection in the face;
In vain we dwell on lines and crosses
Crooked nose and short proboscis
Boobies have looked as wise and bright
AS Plato and the stagyerite;
And many sage and learned skull
Has peeped through windows dark and dull.
Noses have, however been held in
respect for many reasons by the learned.
AS an oracle the old writer's held that
it was a sure sign of faithful affecti on.
Writes Rouister: did my nose bleed
in your company?' And, poor wretch,
just az she said this, to show her true
heart, her nose fell a bleeding. Bleed
ing OF the nose did not always indicate
this. however, as the learned Crosse
pleaded, for he held: IF a nose bleed
one drop only, it forebodies sickness; If
three drops, the omen is still worse .
While Milton, who wrote the .Astrolo-
gist, said: eff mans nose bleeds
one drop at the left nostril it is a sign
Of good luck. = Decker, on the other
hand, held that the principal use of
the nose was to foretell the coming Of
strange guests:
We shall ha' guests to-day
Ny nose itcheth.
There are lots of expressions in popu-
lar parlance, too, to show how impor-
tant the nose is considered. For in
stance. one speaks of dupe as a per-
son who is .'led by the nose.n and Iago
says of Othello:
He was led by the nose as asses are. TEN
Paying through the nose,' again, is
held to be a condition Of too much
trnstfulness, and Grimm says that this
saying had its origin in an old practice
of King Odin, who levied tax Of a
penny on every nose or poll ..Tweak-
ing" the nose indicates not only nose
puller, but a nose owner who is weak
enough to let people wiring his probos-
els; and not only did Papists in the old
days slit the noses of the Pedestrians.
and Roundheads slit the noses of caya-
liers, but in the war Of 1877-7S the Mon.
tegrins generally cut off the noses Of
all the Turkish prisoners that they
ehanced to take.
Still, though suffering the occasional
indignity Of a tweak, a good nose only
belongs to the clever man a man who
is able to find out secrets. For, as the
Latin poet says:
Non cuicunque datum est habere natum,
which freely rendered into English
means:
Its not given to every body to have nose
(keen WITT
Still, rs have remarked, the nose is
not treated with the respect that it
should be. and this is possibly because
is often the medium Of ridicule. You
will remember Barham' s lines:
The sa:ristan expressed no words
To Indicate doubt
hut he put his thumb unto his nose
And spread his fingers out.
Naturally the hands placed tandem in
front Of the nose put the organ itself in
some peril, and hence it gets hit occa-
sionally in fight. as witness Hudibras,
who notes that
Those who In quarrels interpose
Must often wipe q bloody nose.
