The Chicago Inter-Ocean we'll says that
remarks that "lf General Harrison was in
any sense sham and worked up speech
10 hide his thought or to deceive the peo-
pie, one days experience would undo him.
But he goes on fresh, and bright and
pleasing. and the mighty throngs march
to see him in such style, in such multi
tudes, and with such informalty and en-
more at the readiness of the man than at
the Astounding testimony that the people
give him of their regard, and admiration
and confidence He is genuine all through
and utters no false notes or uncertain
sounds.
This is why that the highest RESPONSE
bilitics having been thrown upon him he
was equal to them. Nor should it be al
legged that his speeches have not been
carefully scanned by members of the op-
posing party, if happily for them, there
might he something in them by which
their author and his party could be tripped.
But all such search has been in vain" As
the Boston Journal remarks; General
Ilarrisons speeches are not accidents or
artificial. They are the expressions of
his Intelligence and convictions. his infor-
nation and his principles. He is gentle
man talking to his friends, without con-
cealments or evasions, or Il thought of pre-
pairing phrases for double meanings"
As if all this were not strong enough
testimony, here is the editor of the India
napolis Journal, strong personal friend
of General lIarrison's, it is true, but why
ought his testimony to be thrown out on
that account? Coming forward to say
''rhere has not been one touch of vanity
or self-sutiicieney in all of General Harri-
sons speeches. lie never did anything
in his life to be ashamed of, and has moth
ing to be afraid of.

THE GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY,
Showing How Protection Has Built Up
the Home Market.

Mr.. Henry V. Poor. the accomplished
compiler and editor of the Manual of
Railroads Of the United States has made
some very interesting figures on the sub
ject of our tariff We shall use some of
them in this article, for they demonstrate
what the protective system has done for
the country since 1865, or since there has
been fair opportunity to Judge of the
industrial condition Of the country. The
war checked industrial growth, and it is
TO the decade in which the war is included
from 1850 to lS70-that the free traders
point by way of contrast with the pre-
to say how unfair that is. Anyone will
understand that. We will take the years
that have followed the war, and Mr..
Poor's statistics for that time. they are
by far the most important and the most
accurate and complete that have been
published. From 1865 to 1887, then, the
number of miles of railroad ia operation
increased from 3j,0sJ To 10000. This
was an increase of 32s per cent, although
population had increased only y per cent
In 1887 the tonnage moved by the railroads
was j52, 07i, 752 tons; in 1865 Mr.. Poor es-
Inmates that it was 10000, 900. the increase
being nearly 500 per cent. The produc-
ton of pig iron increased in this period
from 93l ,JS2 tons to 1.lS7 ,206 tons, or
very nearly 700 per cent. of rolled iron.
from OO,0iS tons to 2,jSS, 800 tons: of
rails, from 1856, 293 tons to 1896 1897 tons.
The production of Bessemer steel of all
kinds increased from l5,2G2 tons in 1865
to 1879, 160 tons in 1887. Bessemer steel
rails were first produced in this country
in 1867. In that year the output of the
mills was 1850 tons; in 1887 it. was 2,354.-
1872 tons in 1865, ,5j2 tons of iron ore
were shipped from the Lake Superior re-
gion, in 1887 the shipment was 1907 81
tons. The production of anthracite coal
increased 1864 per cent, and of bitumin-
Gus coal i22 per cent.
This enormous production means that
factory towns grew, and that thousands
of workingmcn were employed. These
people had to be fed, housed and clothed,
aud the farmers of the country had to do
it. Thus il is made plain why our vast
crops of corn and wheat are sold in this
country instead of being transported thou
sands of miles across the sea.

The Mormon Evil

From the Philadelphia North American.
The majority report of the Utah Commits
sion renewing the recommendation that Utah
should not be admitted to the Union until the
Mormon people have abandoned polygamy in
good faith, and not then until an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States pro-
hbitlng the practice of p0lygamy is adopted,
treats the Mormon evil in the right spirit
The statement in the minority report that
poygamy is decreasing is contradicted week
after week by the arrival of Mormon prose-
lytes at New York from Europe, many of
whom confess that they have come to en-
brace not only Mormonism, but poly gamy as
we'll Mormon agents are as actively en-
gagged in making converts in Europe as ever,
and that they dc SO by authority of the Nor
mon Church cannot be lenied. Let Utah
gain Statehood, and the Government will be
poweriess to interfere with poygamy unless
the necessary amendment to the Constitution
is adopted. Until this ID done. Utah should
remain under the control of the Federal Gov

Mr.. Blaine's brief and admirably timed
speech at st. Thomas in response to a
greeting by both Americans and Cana
dians, will go far toward making the lat
ter understand the great fact which he
condensed into the fewest and plainest
words when he said:
scarcely know what to say to an assem-
blage of Canadians. l can say that we in
the United States all desire to be good
friends and good neighbors with you. We
two peoples occupy and hold the great North
American Continent, and we are much near
er together and more closely related TO YOU
than we can be to any European country
Your and our interests are more closely
united, and the tendency is and ought TO be
that We will grow closer and closer together
Whether we will ever be united depends on
you. When you come we will give you a
cordial welcome, but we never want YOU to
come till you make the first move YOUR
selves. Good-by.

Mr.. I. Jefferson Coolidge, a citizen of
Boston, largely interested in American
manufactures, who heretofore has always
been consistent Democrat, hits the nail
squa rely on the head when he says:
81 was struck by the fact that all the ar
guments used by the President aud his party
in this political campaign are arguments
which would be just as strong after the
tariff had been reduced 10, 20 or 30 per
cent as they are now"
This is fact worthy the consideration
of the workingmen. Not this year would
the reduction be great. but it is the drec-
ton of the step. as General Harrison re-
marked. that ought to awaken the wage
earners to u realizing sense of the dam
ger. General Harrison in his letter of
acceptance said
This end (free trade) may not be reached
abruptly, and its approach may be accom-
panied with some expressions of sympathy
for our protected industries and our working
people, but ii iciH certainly come if these
early steps do not arouse the people to
effective resistance"

Seie ntifiic Reasons for Sleeping at
Right Angles 10 the Equator.


lst. Louis Globe Democrat
A doctor says: There is no doubt in my
mind but that the belief that human be-
ings should sleep with their bodies ly.
ing north and south has its foundation in
scientific facts. Each human system has
two magnetic poles-one positive and one
negative. Now, it is true that some
persons have the positive pole in the
feet, and vice versa. In order that the
person sleeping should be in perfect bar.
mony with the magnetic phenomena Of
the earth, the head. il 1t possesses the
positive pole, should be TO the south, or
u the feet possess the positive pole the
head should lie to the north.
The positive pole should always lie op.
posite to the magnetic centre Of the con.
tinent snd thus maintain a magnetic
equilibrium. The positive pole Of the
person draws one way, but the magnetic
pole Of the earth draws the other way
and forces the blood towards the feet. af.
fects the iron in the system, tones up the
nerves and makes sleep refreshing and
invigorsting. But IT the person sleeps
the wrong way and fails to become mag.

will then probably be too magnetic and
he will have fever resulting from the
magnetic forces working too fast, or be
