INSTINCT IN BRUTES

Few things are more wonderful than
the instinct that guides the brute in the
choice of its food and medicine In India
the mungoose, when bitten by the deadly
cobra, is said to seek among the grass for
some unknown herb or substance which
it swallows and is thereby enabled to
cOunteract the effect of the poison. Man,
when his system is deranged by the ac-
cumulated pOisons engendered by con
stipatiOn or sluggish habit Of body,
should seek relief in DIR. Pierce's Pellets,

THE EFFECTS OF PROTECTION.
From a Speech of Senator Brown, of Georgia.
Twelve or fourteen Years ago | pur-
chased the first one hundred tons of Des-
semer steel which was laid on the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad, and paid $3.50
ton for it. At that time the tariff on
Bessemer steel was $28 per ton. This
high rate of tariff induced millions of
capital to be put into mills to produce
Bessemer steel. Enormous plants were
established. In 1888, Just before the
tariff act was passed, | purchased two
Thousand tons Of BaSSemer steel at $;}S
50 ton in the market. The tariff was
still $2S a ton, and before the tariff act
of 1888 went into operation Bassemer
steel went still lower in the market.
think it got down as low as $33 ton,
while the tariff was still S28 ton. The
tariff act of 1888 reduced the tariff on
BeSsemer steel to $l7 ton, and since
that time BeSSemer steel, on account of
the active home competition which was
gotten mp between our manufacturers,
st1u NlllCll Hts liti(lt iilttl uuSllltSS Uilj
moderately profitable, has sold in the
market as low as $27 ton. | was Of
fered lot OF Bessemer only few days
ago at S3l per ton, and the tariff is now
$l7 ton.
What has produced the enormous de-
cline in the price Of Bessemer steel?-
lfoIs is it that an article which twelve
or fourteen years ago paid the foreign
manufacturer Sl:}0 ton in our market
is now selling at $;'l ton? The extrav-
agantly high tariff which was then in op-
Grafton Induced an immense amount of
capital to engage in that business, and
they now turn out So much Besscmer
that American manufacturers in compe-
tition with each other keep prices down,
and We have Il perpetual guaranty that
the price will never again go up to an
exOrbitant figure, for the simple reason
that our own mills, with a reasonable
tariff, make enough to supply this coun-
try, and the British mill owner who at
tempts TO import it must do SO generally
at a loss, and he will do it when he has
large surplus which he can not dispose
OF without loss, and must dump it On
somebody,
