How q Buffalo Man Got Even with Lot
 of Insurance Agents.

How a Buffalo Man Got Even with a Lot
 of Insurance Agents.
 There is wealthy man in Buffalo who, ever since he became well-to-do, has been pestered by the entreatieS of local insurance agents to take out a policy in favor of his wife and little ones. Not long ago, says the Buffalo Courier he determined to be re- venged on them. He called on a certain agent and told him that at last he was thinking seriously of taking out policy, say for S10,000, but that before deciding the matter he wished to examine the induce ments of two or three other companies. '' Certainly" said the agent, "but do come and dine with me at the City Club to-mor row." "With pleasure" The rich man walked away, and visiting three or four more agents told them the same story that he was thinking of taking out a pol icy of $10,0O0 or so, but was not quite de cided yet in which company he should in- sure. Each and all of them extended him an earnest invitation to Come and dine with me tomorrow evening" or 'What do you say to little supper at Blanks, where we can talk it over!'' or, 'I'm going to open bottle of Madeira tomorrow evening. Come around and I'll explain our plan in full.'' The wealthy man winked to hlm- self as he left these agents, and accepted all their civiities, and for two weeks his 1du1lly hardly SdW 1lLl, TOT ue CoultuuSu Lo hesitate and procrastinate, and the agents continued to dine him and wine him, until at length, having enjoyed hlm- self immensely at the expense of the insurance companies, he one day sat down in his office and wrote each of the agents little note, in which he stated that he had ''been convinced of the better advantages to be gained by insurlng in another company" and regretted that he | l. The agents each read this note with tears in their eyes and swear-words on their lips, and placed sum ranging from $25 to | $50 to the debit of expense account.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-08-28

The last report of the board of commits sioners for savings banks in Massachusetts gave the total of deposits as S3O2, ,948, ,624 | for the state. The total in the savings banks of the United Kingdom. according | to the latest returns, is S52S, ,S11 ,594, divided as follows In the British trus- tees banks $231 ,6SS, ,594, and in the post office savings banks $297, 123, ,000. It will be seen from this that the total in the British savings institutions is much larger than the total in Massachusetts. MT Blaine estimated, by sort of acrobatic guesswork in which he is particularly skillful, that 65 per cent of the deposits in the savings | banks of Massachusetts should be credited to wage earners, while but 35 per cent of those in the British savings banks belong to the workers. Mr Blaine's estimates are not always center-shots of accuracy, but they shoot close to his purpose, and that purpose is to make false showing for protection.
 If high tariff is conducive to fat bank savings, as MT Blaine and the republicans would have us believe, our whole country should show such savings. Yet there are twenty states in the Union which have no savings banks at all There is but one savings bank in the whole south, and that one, situated in North Carolina, has but $11 ,307 of deposits, belonging to 371 de positors. There are no savings banks in Nal Sl-o egon, Wisconsin or West Virginia. The great states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, which are protected alike with the eastern states had in 1887 but S45, 900, ,OO0 in deposits, which total was exceeded by any one of the states of New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachu- setts and New York. Here we have MT Blaine and the republicans arguing that a high tariff brings generous bank savings, and it is found that over half the states of the Union have no savings banks at all
 The Republican, to prove that the tariff is not tax paid by the consumer, says ''the prices of all necessaries rents, manu- factured clothing, agricultural tools and food products are lower ln this country than in England to-day. The tariff does not come out of the consumer. It repre- sents slice Topped off the profits of European producers" That is, according to the Republican, European producers are shipping their goods here and paying a high tariff on them in order to sell them at lower price than they would at home. This is queer logic but it is worthy of a journal which would denounce Judge Thurman as free trader for advocating a reasonable reduction of taxation, exactly as did Presidents Grant and Garfield and Arthur, Secretary Folger and Senator Sher- man and numerous other lights of the re- publican party.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-08-28
WHAT DOES BLAINE MEAN?

Blaine was always something of a puzzle to the country. Deep and designing, cum ming and crafty, adroit and adventurous, unprincipled and unconscionable, he has always subordinated means to ends, and has never hesitated to sacrifice any interest where such q sacrifice would advance his own. His attitude since his return from Europe has been of piece with his past record, and he is to the republicans most unique and successful puzzle.
 His action in reference to the trusts, which he proclaimed to be largely private affairs that are beyond interference, has brought dismay to the republicans. Many do not hesitate to say that Blaine had a deep purpose in making his defense of these damnable institutions, and that purpose is believed to be nothing less than the defeat of Harrison for president. Blaine was afraid to lead the campaign this year, as he knew defeat was certain and he did not wish to be beaten a second time by the same man. This explains to some extent his written refusals to accept the nomi- nation of the republican convention, and his desire to have Harrison put forward as a man whose nomination was equivalent to defeat. Many believe that the defeat of the republican party this year will bring about it's dissolution, as the work of the party has long since been done and there will be nothingto keep it together after this year Waterloo. Others, however, and some of the keenest and most farsighted politicians among them, are of opinion that Blaine magnetic leadership will assert itself more powerfully after poor Harrison shall have been sent into retirement, and that he will come forward in 1892 as the one man whose name will be powerful to rally the scattered party. As last desperate effort for himself and for the party, he will be the candidate four years hence. To bring about that result Harrison must be sacri feed, and Blaine himself is willing to b. the Burchard. In no way can he play thi: role more successfully than by defending trusts and kindred forms of monopoly which are a legitimate and natural out growth of protection, and this partly ex plains his haste to pose as their champion Blaine knows what he is about, and the way he works is fruitful of his purpose.
 MT Blaine may be successful-we be lieve he will-in burchardizing Harrison he may be successful-we believe agai1 that he will-in being crowned with the continued leadership of the republican party and being chosen to head the ticke in 1899; but he will not be elected. Th' American people have had enough o Blaine; they have had enough of thos' ''largely private affairs"
 The trusts must go; James G. Blain, must go.

ELECTRIC MIRACLES.
Copper Wire Transmitting Power tO
 Machinery Many Miles Away.

A Copper Wire Transmitting Power to Machinery Many Miles Away.
 "The development of electricity as mode of transmitting motive power IS still in it's infancy" said gentleman engaged in the manufacture of electrical appliances, 'but 1t Is a mighty vigorous infant, and grows with rapidity that is amazing. The most surprising thing just now is the rapid mul- tiplication of orders for electric plants for driving stationary machinery The importance of this application of sci ence can easily be seen when it is explained | that by the use of copper wire and cur rent of electricity a waterfall can be made to drive machinery at distance of many miles.
 "Is there limit to the distance at which this may be applied advantageously!" asked | the writer.
 The expert smiled. "You can hardly ex- pect man in my business to think there is any limit to any thing in the way of applied | science" he said. As matter of experi- 1 ence 1t has not, believe, been applied as | yet to any operations involving any great | distances, but there seems to be no reason | why it should not connect machinery with the nearest water power, no matter how far off that might be. I believe that the Falls of Niagara could be made to drive machin- | cry in every State in the Union"
 
 has already been made have been recently cited in the Engineering and Mining Journal It is, of course, entirely different matter from the electric tramway plan that is here spoken of.
 | On the Big Bend of Feather river, in Cali fornia, one electric motor company is under | contract to furnish what is called an sseieht een-mlle installation" for pumping and hoisting.
 I l In Arizona an installation is proposed. to bring some 150-horse power from water l fall to large mine and smelling works 1 eight miles away. In this case the estimate of the copper needed is eight tons to the mile, and the fact shows what nature was providing for in furnishing the enormous quantities ot copper that now are merely surplus.
 The new Nevada mill on the Comstock is to be run at least in part by electric trans mission. At present it is run by an impact water wheel eleven feet in diameter, using water under a head of about $50 feet
 A mine Ill Silver City, Idaho, IS putting in an electric plant which will drive a fifty stamp mill four miles from the waterfall that supplies the power. And an iron com pany in Alabama is preparing for similar investment
 The Engineering and Mining Journal says Mining machinery, drills, coal-cutters, pumps and hoisting engines will be driven in many places by what is now the waste power of neighboring waterfalls, and before long we shall have few waste waterfalls Nor is it true of this country alone. For sign countries, especially those that are ill provided with cheap fuel, will through the aid of American electrical machinery, share the benefits which we expect to reap in at hCmen

Ignorance Kept Him Honest.

A story is told of a postmaster whose lack of knowledge of working his own "nest" lost him an increase of $100 on his salary next year. When he sent his returns in he lacked 31 cents of the amount called for by the law to permit an adjustment of his salary. His reports showed the yearly receipts of his office to be S2,O992O. As the department allows a fraction over half dollar to be counted as a dollar, the post master would have been S100 more in his pocket if he had had shrewdness enough to buy 3l cents worth of stamps out of his own pocket Since he sent his report he has learned his mistake, and every body in the county now can kick him. His was the only case of the kind in the 2,5O0. It caused much merriment among the clerks at the Post-office Department.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-08-28

IF the Mills bill, with it's per cent reduc tion and its enlarged free list, is free trade why is not every tariff bill that has ever beer passed free trade All these bills have had articles on the free list, and most ot them have levied duty averaging under 40 per cent. There is no free trade in the Mills bill, there is no free trade in Presi- dent Cleveland's tariff reform message and there is no free trade in the St Louis platform. The policy of the democratic party is not policy of free trade.
