THE MILLS BILL.
1t Is ops Long Discrepancy-Some of Its
GIaring Imperfections,

~ As o4e Long OF It's
Glaring Imperfections.
The Mills bill is one long discrepancy,
first, because 1t does not make its reduc-
lions evenly, SO that all would share the
r~etrenchment of protection alike; second,
because in making reductions naphazard,
it nearly always hits hardest the finished
product. Here are some examples, the
imports and duties being for 1887:
Take two agricultural products-sugar
and wool. Sugar, whose price has been
advanced by a trnst, and which pays $685.
DIG, 6SR, every penny out of the consumers
pocket, is reduced a fifth, SO that the price
to you. which moves by cents and not
fractions, viii not be cheapened. Wool,
which pays SO, 500, SIG on ene-fourth of
u consumption, and whose duty lowers
price by stimulating product, so that the
consumer does not pay all the tax, is de-
prived of all protection and made free
altogether.
Needles are made free, iron ore is left
under old duty.
Tin plate is made free, the sheet iron
out of which tin plate must be made and
all that lies behind is left with a duty of
35 to 70 per cent.
Wood screws, made. in a Democratic
district in Connecticut, unchanged; cut
tacks and sprigs, made in New Jersey and
elsewhere, reduced in duty one-half.
Cotton ties, free; the hoop iron of which
cotton ties are made, 80 per cent.
Structural iron, which requires special
machinery and special skill to roll it, six
tenths of a cent o pound; iron and steel
beams which do not, seven-tenths of a
cent per pound.
Steel fiat, advanced by longitudinal
ribs. ready to make fencing, four-tenths
of q cent a pound, say 80 per cent. the
same fiat at an earlier stage, 45 per cent.
Burlaps, under sixty inches in width,
free; over sixty inches, 20 per cent.-both
made in the United Statas-one deprived,
the other given protection.
Jute bags for grain, free,.jute bags fc1
potatoes, three-eighths of a cent per
pound.
Raisins, grown in California, cut down
one-third; peanuts, grown in southern
states, cut down one-fourth; oranges
grown in Florida, close state, untouched.
Freestone, granite and sandstone, I'm.
dressed, northern building stone, free
marble, uadressed, Tennessee product
forty cents per cubic foot.
China, clay and kaolin, dug in Virginis
and other southern states, So per ton; the
china made out of it in New Jersey, plain
reduced from 50 to 40 per cent; decorated
60 to so per cent,
Pig iron, made, we are glad to say, il
twelve southern states, reduced from
$6.T2 per ton to So; steel pens, made il
Camden, N. j., aud elsewhere, reduced
from twelve cents per gross to 30 pc
cent, equal to two cents per gross.
Lastly, the worst discrepancy abou
the Mills bill is that while it pretends t,

The Campaign of 1888.


Either the Tennessee Republicans are
unusually active or else The Louisville
Courier journal wants to fr;ghten the
Democrats Of that state, forfi5 claims to
have private information that the Repub-
licans are planning to carry Tennessee by
a still hunt. The weak points of the
Democrats, it says, are divisions and diff
ferences in their own ranks and the hos
tility of the manufacturers.
The Democrats in Massachusetts are
probably the worst ratified political organ
ization in any state. They have held no
ratification meeting as yet, and no date
has been fixed for one. They expected to
persuade Congressman Russell to run for
governor, but he positively refuses. Gen.
Butler predicts a Republican majority of
at lsast 8 10000. Evidently the MLugwumps
are spending no money! this year in Massa-
chusetts.
The California Democrats were informed
that If they would make an effort to carry
that state they could have a 'tsack" of
money from the east. So they have be-
gun to work the Chinese question by per.
suading the Chinese residents to get up
meetings and express their satisfaction
over the nomination of Harrison.
A Republican campaign in Vermont
never showed as much activity and enthu-
siasm as the present one does, and it will
not need any unusual expenditure of
money to bring the majority next month
above the figures for some years past.
The effort of the Democratic Springfield
Republican to discount the effect in adj
vance viii hardly succeed.

the fact that the Sun reached a circulation of $780,

Forty years ago the chief duty of an editor, in
view Of his limited facilities, was to gather all the
news he could and print it, Intelligence was
transmitted slowly; many occurrences of interest
were never heard of beyond their immediate
locality; ocean mails were long in transit, and the
overthrow Of an European dynasty was not known
here until long after the event. Suddenly there
came a change. The railroad and the telegraph
superseded old methods, and the newspaper was
literally flooded with news. The death of a petty

DECEPTIVE SENSES. -
Illusions of Bodily Motion Induced
Through Visual Impressions.

Illusions of Bodily Motion Induced
Through Visual Impressions.
The senses are subject to illusions in
proportion to the remoteness of the in
formation that they give from the i'm
mediate necessities of the organism.
Touch, the most immediate and least
inferential of the senses, is least subject
to illusions; while sight is so very much
so that the blind often say they have an
advantage over the seeing in being free
from visual illusions. The illusions of
bodily motion are much nearer to those
of touch than to those of sight, and yet
they can under certain conditions be
induced through visual impressions. Of
this the writer has recently had two
interesting examples. He was standing
upon the floor of a railroad depot, the
boards of which were laid with con-
siderable open space between them; and
the shadow of an electric light was
moving up and down, by the swinging
of the light in the wind. Looking at
the floor, itseemed as though the shadow
was stationary, and the floor boards
moving. From this it followed that the
person on it was moving too, and the
writer distinctly felt the swinging SEN
sation; in fact, his attention was called
to the phenomenon by this feeling of
motion. The other observation was as
follows: While riding in the cars and
looking out of the window, the trees
and all are seen to move in the opposite
direction. If, now, one looks in mir
Tor so situated that it reflects the pass
ing landscape, which, however, must
not be visible except in the mirror, one
has the illusion of moving in the OPP
posite to the real direction of motion,
owing to the reversal of the image in
the glass. In both these cases an inn
mediate bodily sensation is induced by
more or less unconscious inference
through visual sensations. american

Wonderful Printing Machine.

The american Boo6nla5er describes q
machine which takes in paper at one
end and turns out completely bound
books at the other at the rate of 5000
copies an hour. There are three great
iron cylinders, segmental in fora and
each having a diameter of six feet, and
weighing about three tons each. On
one of these are the forms which do the
printing in quadruple series, the other
two acting solely as impression cylin-
ders. In combination with the cylinder
carrying the printing forms are ink
fountains, form and distributing rollers,
while in combination with the impress
sion cylinders are novel appliances for
handling automatically, revising, as
sembiing, folding, covering and deliv-
ering the complete books. This remark
able contrivance requires eight tons of
paper, with corresponding amount of
printing ink, and this it turns into
books in single day, and it requires
twelve box-cars, of 10000 pounds ca
pacity each, to transfer the output for
single week. This machine is built
in Philadelphia by its inventor and
patentee, at whose establishment the
visitor may see in daily and nightly
operation no less than six of these
mammoth machines turning with sur
prsing rapidity and regularity their
miles of paper into printed matter
ready for the perusal OF the reader.
