Ford for Monopoiies.

Daring the 1855 session OF the State Legis-
lature. . bill was before that body bearing
this title "A Bill Relating to Telephone
Companies, and to regulate the use and
rents OF Telephones in this State" When
this bill came up in the committee OF the
whole. N. II. Ford strenuously opposed it.
Particularly this section Of the bill
SECTION 2. Where any two cities OF
villages are connected by wire operated
or owned by any individual, company OF
corporation, the price for the use Of any
telephone for the purpose OF conversation
between such cities or villages shall not ex
ceed fifteen cents for the FIRST five minutes
and for each additional five minutes or
fraction thereof no sum exceeding ten
cents shall be charged, collected, or re-
csived.n
When the bill came up on third read
ing. its final passage Nj Ford voted against
IL. This 9 matter Of record. and for bis
chem pionship for monopoly and against
tlis measure fer the people the teiephoners
presented him Ford with a gold headed
cane. These are undeniable facts. Every
BODY knows that the telephone is fast
growing into a monopoly and also that
Ford is a tool for the monopolists. Ford is
all rye it.-CedGr Springs Clipper.

Tho Homo Market as Against the Forcigl

Tho Home Market as Against the Foreign
Market for our Producers.
Letter from Robert Mitchell Furniture Manu-
facturer, of CincinEati1
s71he proposed changes IN the tariff on
furniture do not affect our business directly,
but the indirect effects would be very bad.
In this country al the manufacturers are
bound together, and when one is affected
the effect is felt by all.
zone of the principle articles used in the
manufacture of furniture is plate glass. In
three cities of this country plate glass is
manufactured with success. If foreign
plate glass is introduced into this country
in quantities, the man lfacturers in those
places will either have to stop manufacture
ing or else cheaper their labor. That
is what all this change of tariff amounts
to, ultimately the cheapening of labor.
at is singular how the fluctuations of the
from market affect the entire circle of man.

that can be compared 70 il in this way.
Whenever there is . strike In Pittsburgh,
or any other disturbance in a great iron
center, the effect on the iron market is CON-
municated to all the other industries. And
they are just as quick 10 respond TO the rise
in the iron market
"Those who are continually talking about
the advantages Of a foreign market do not
appreciate the value of the home market.
The very fact that we have not had a for
eign market has made this country what il
is. To this alone can be attributed the mar
velous development of the West, which
twenty five years ago was almost a wilder
ness. Our capital has not been interested
in foreign trade, but has been turned TO the
advantage of our own country, building rail-
roads, laying out cities and producing in
nense crops.
c" Free trade may be well enough for q
country like England. which has no place al
home for the exchange of commodities and
relies entirely on foreign markets. But in
this country we have every soil and eli

are exchanged for the breadstuffs OF the
North, while Dakota exchanges grain for

not need foreign trade. And fit Is TO be pur

HOW RAIN pRopucED.

Did it ever occur to the reader that
there is just as much water in the air
above him on clear, bright day as on
cloudy or rainy one Rain does not
come from somewhere else, or il it is
waited over you by the wind from else
where, the water that was over you is
simply waited on to some other place
What is said above explains this. Wa
ter is absorbed in the air above us, at
certain temperature, and it becomes in
sensible. Cool that air by cooler at
mosphere or by electrical or chemical in
huences and the moment the air becomes
cooler it gives up some of the watery par
ticles that were insensible or invisible
at the higher temperature: These small
particles thus given out unite, and, when
enough of them coalesce, obstruct the
light and show the clouds. When enough
of them unite to be too heavy to float in
the air they begin to descend; pair after
pair of them come together until rain
drop is formed. One of the minute rain
drops is made up of millions of infinitely
small watery particles. Air passing over
the cold tops of mountains is cooled
down SO that it gives up good deal of
the concealed watery vapor, and hence
little rain falls in the region along the
lee side of such mountains. This is why
little rain falls in Colorado and in other
places north and south of the State. The
prevailing winds blow to the west, and
the cool tops of the Rocky mountains
lower their temperature and thus take
out the moisture that would otherwise
fall in rain. american Inventor.
