NnT A THEARK.

One of the managers of the Singer Sewing Machine company was asked 8 few days ago what that company would do in the event of the adoption of free trade in this country, ,snd his ready answer was something eff 8 surprise to his questioner. It was, in effect, that the Singer company did not care whether free trade may be adopted or not. In case it should be, however, they could close their shops in this country and transfer their busi- ness to Europe, where they already have fac- tories established, and where they could then, owing to cheaper labor, manufacture at 8 profit not possible under free trade in this country.
 We referred the other day to the remarks of MT. Barbour, the president of the great thread concern of Paterson, New Jersey. Mir. Barbour has mills in Ireland, and when the duty is reduced from forty to twenty-five per cent. it will pay his company to import four times as much thread as it does new, rather than to make the thread here, the diff ference in wages being so great. And he ad- nnits that when he makes four times as much thread in his Irish mills as he does now he must turn away his American operatives and give them chance to go into some other business, for the Irish Rills are run at a much cheaper rate than those in this country, and the same machinery is used in both. In order to be able te employ American workingmen and to give them American wages he must have protection, and without it, shut up his American mills. And concerning just what is the relative amount of wages paid in the two countries, MT. Barbour says that on the Irish pay roll there are the names of 2,900 British subjects who enjoy the blessings of free trade; that on the New Jersey pay roll there are the names of 400 American citi- zens who enjoy the blessings of republican tariff, and the pay roll which rewards 2,900 free trade British subjects is substantially the same as that which rewards 1,400 protected American citizens.
 Facts like these are more impressive than any theories. We do not believe that the workingmen of this country can be persuaded that it is for their interest to vote to drive away manufacturing from this country.

and Italy combined of 106, ,000,O bushels. the crop of Russia will be 32, ,000, 900 bushels larger than that of last year. The crops in the United Kingdom. Spain, Roumania and Turkey promise to be about the same as those of last year. India has grown 30, ,000,- 900 bushels more than last year, but the ne- eessity of replenishing her reserve stocks re duces the export surplus. In Australia the crop has exceeded that of last year by about 5000, ,O00 bushels, while Chili's crop is about one-third short. The general deduction thus far is that decidedly less wheat will be grown this year than last
 There are abundant evidences of the un. selfish interest which the English take in the present political campaign in this country. Says the People, 8 London paper: The defeat of MT. Blaine is matter of considerable con- graduation among Englishmen. For that astute politician not only represents some of the most objectional aspects of American po- litica1 life, but he is also no friend to England and is nominee of the Irish party. In the contest between MT. Harrison and Mir. Cleve- land, however, it is not to MT. Harrison that this country should wish success. For the question at issue is, broadly speaking, ques- tion of free trade against protection. If MT. Cleveland would be reelected the United States tariff will be modified very materially in the direction of free trade, result which cannot, of course, fail to be beneficial to the trade of other countries and especially of our own. President Cleveland in accepting his nomination by his own party has abstained, from motives of prudence, from repeating his sentiments on the subject of the tariff But should he be re- selected there can be no doubt that he will find means to give effect to them

HEAT FROM ELECTRICITY.
A Cleveland Invention which is Ex' Rected to Take the Place of Fuels

A Cleveland Invention which is EEK.
 Pected to Take the Place of Fuel.
 From the Cleveland Press.l
 On a small street in this city lives an inventive mechanic who for years has spent his spare time in little shop back of bis house. In it electricity reigns su- preme, and the owner has worked out the triumph of many hours of study. Models of almost every electrical apparatus known he has made for himself. In front hangs 6 powerful carbon light, while every cor ner is illuminated with soft, mellow inc candescent bulbs, all made by himself, and run by his own dynanaos and engine. Miniature buzz saws running so fast as to be almost invisible, electrical cars, photographs, telephones, batteries and mot ors of all kinds, everything operated by electricity, turn this curiosity shop into place where one feels the very influence of that subtle fluid on his body, and even in his brain.
 play to the great discovery of generating heat from electricity, on which he has been spending his lifetime. Under cloth stood his invention, small yet perfect and capable of generating enough heat to turn the shop room into regular Turkish bath. The in- ventor uncovered the machine and explained some of it's workings, but the most simpor- 
 said, 'sI studied and experimented in vain. My first work was on the rule that from the result the cause could be produced. Follow ing this theory commenced on the electric thermic battery, reasoning that if heat gene- rated the electricity, by working backward heat could be made by electricity. For long time clung to this, but had finally to abandon it as practically impossible. Various other theories were tried and many weary hours spent in study when I should have been resting from my days work.
 ''Some of my experiments produced heat, but not in sufficient quantities to be of any benefit: Finally I started off on another tack and began 8 new line of reasoning. Heat ssimply an accelerated motion to the
 molecules of body which crowd out lar ger space for themselves in their faster move ments, and consequently cause the expansion noticed in heated object. This heat is diffused by radiation, that is by imparting it's motion to the adjoining molecules. This is the case either in solid body or in fluid. Following up this theory began experimenting with electricity as means for causing an increased motion to the mole cules of body. The first thing necessary

was to form 8 substance on which the cleo tricity could act. Here it is."
 An irregular shaped piece of composition that looked like lump of coke or carbon was disclosed to view. Wires were connects ed at opposite ends of it and that was all The inventor pressed a button and in an in- stant the mass gave forth heat, not dry like 8 furnace, nor yet damp, but that pleasant warmth felt on 8 spring day when the sun shines brightly and fairly invigorates per son after the cold days of winter. In the further corners of the room the heat evenly penetrated, and except when quite close the sound could not be noticed. The mass did not change color or present any different ap- pearance when the current was shut of.
 ''The composition of that is the first se- cret." said the electrician as he broke the current, ''and will be so long as I can keep it., As you can see, it is principally carbon to conduct the electricity. By add- ing certain acids it can be melted and mould ed in any form desirable; in masses to put in grates, shaped like radiators, flat and placed under registers or whatever way wanted. call it by new name, carbodi- um. But here is the most important part of the whole thing; the machinery which gives motion to the molecules and generates heat in the carbodium. It consists of device for making and breaking strong current of electricity as is done in an electric door bell. This, however, is made on an entirely differ ent plan, and cost me two years of study. As it IS not patented yet | don't wish the principle to become known, but it acts with ineonceivable rapidity, in fact so fast that placed in circuit with electric lamps the light barely quivers. The current is intend- ed to pass through this and in jerks to the carbodium. On that peculiar composition it has the effect first of producing the small amount of heat given off by an electric light or two wires when crossed. This is suffi- cient to start the accelerated action of the molecules, which is then taken up by the elec- tricity, coming in broken currents faster than the motion of the molecules them- selves, and quickly causes an intense heat. From this simple outline and the test you see my invention is success. It can be at tached to the same wires which run an cleo tric light circuit, and does not require nearly as much power as single light. Owing to the equal diffusion of the heat one carbodi- um will warm half dozen rooms. The aps paratus itself costs very little. Of course a severe shock would be received if the carbo- dium were touched, but with the care given a carbon lamp no accident need result. I am engaged now in perfecting new kind of insulation which will not wear off, and which is entirely different from the cover ings used for wires at present. By dipping the metal in a peculiar kind of solution per manent insulation is secured, which makes it impossible to receive 8 shock event from the most powerful dynamo"
 The inventor thinks his fortune is made and he has secured monied men to back him, elan of this city.

A TAME ENDING.
The Close Not Marked by the Usual
Bustle and Confusion.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The closing hours
Of the session of congress were comparable
to those Of none of its predecessors within
the memory of the present generation. The
hustle and excitement, the crowded corri-
dors, the anxiety Of claimants and lobby
lists, the efforts of legislators in behalf of be-
lated measures were conspicuously missing.
In the Senate gallery the audience of a
score of individuals at IL o'clock had in
creased to 200 or 800 at the end. and these
looked down in placid silence upon the
round dozen of senators and complement of
clerks, pages and attendants, busily doing
nothing upon the floor of the chamber.
DIGNIFIED TO THE END.
The dignity and decorum of the body
were preserved to the end, despite the
meagerness Of its numbers, and the fact
that there was less than quorum present
and that the body was practically powerless
for any legislative purpose, was successfully
concealed from the official eye of the official
reporter. Constructively the tariff bill
was under discu sion, but practically moth
ing was said on the subject. The
greater part of tho first hour was spent
in n recess formally proposed by Sena tor
Allison and formally ordered by the Sen
ate but the last hour, with few momen-
tary Interruptions, was spent in state or
suspended animation Of waiting for time.
THE CLOSING SPEECH.
Sixty seconds before o'clock President
pro tempore Ingalls, arose. and with the
utterance of his first syllable hush of
profound silence fell upon the body.
With the fall of the gavel, the act which
formally terminated the first session OF the
Fiftieth congress, the audience, attendants
and even the senators, relieved now from
the operations of the rigid Senate rules, APP
plauded the brief, though dignifed and
courtly remarks of the chair and celebrated
the beginning of the recess.
The records OF the white house show that
tho whole number of bills and joint resolu-
tons passed at the session of congress just
closed was ,443, Of which 1897 were ap-
proved by the President, ,e5 became laws with
out his signature: 125 were vetoed. and %
failed for the want of signature up to the
time of the adjournment.
