There is much mysterious talk of balloon
invention of NJ. de Villars, in which the
problem of aerial navigation is said to be
solved at least to degree never yet reached.
NJ. de Villars aim has been to direct his bal
loon by taking advantage of the several air
currents which are to be met with at various
heights, To do this it is necessary to ascend
and descend frequently in the course of the
voyage. But with balloons of ordinary con-
struction this is impossible by reason of the
loss of gas and ballast which such maneuvers
occasion NJ de Villar5 has no ballast tc
throw away, and he is able TO retain the
whole Of his gas. Herein lies the invention,
which is kept profound secret. The inven-
tor, it is said, has sold his secret to the French
government, to be used by it alone New

The English figures are chiefly from
the inspectors report for 1887. Dc not
these figures speak for themselves?
The fact that we are mutually depend
ent upon II another is often lost sight of
by the advocates of free trade. That coun-
try is the most prosperous which has a di-
versity of pursuits, where every man cal
follow the particular branch in which his
talents or in~clinations lead him. A man
who is eminently successful in one calling
may be an utter failure in another. 1t is
evident that the wage-earning capacity
of each man is greatly increased by these
conditions. The free-traders claim that
under their system all industries that are
artificially fOstered will perish, but that
others will remain and that those engag-
ed in the first class must seek employ
ment in the second. If, for the sake Of
argument, we grant this to be true, these
things will come to pass:
l. A man who is transplanted into an
industry of which he knows nothing
loses a large part of his wage-earning ca,
pacity.
2. The greater labor competition il
the industries that do survive, c%onseQuenl
upon the destruction of some, will force
wages down. So it seems that not only
do the persons engaged in the destroyed
industries suffer by loss of employment
and ignorace of any other trade, bu
those in the ones that survive suffer in
two-fold sense. first, by the necessary
lowering of wages consequent upon a re
duction of tariff, and, second, by TIN
greater competition in the labor market
1t will also injure the farmer, for it los
sens the number of consumers and in
creases the number of his competitors.
