Republicans propose TO show the Ameri-
can people that protection is the whole
vital idea of industrial production. They

labor must have protection.
The Democrats hold that protection Of

labor. We propose TO show that ,hc

the necessary articles of life is a Just
measure, and that the people will under

The Republicans want 20 per cent for
protection when we have $4,000 Gee
more revenue than We can spend.
The Constitution says that the Govern

Republican party undertakes to tax the
people TO feed q minority ii violates the

truth is that the Republican party is

An Undeveioped Art.

The attention OF eAperimenters is being
directed 10 the subject or photography
without lenses, which offers possibiiities
vet unknown. The plan yields an im
portant advantage il the fact that images
Of various sizes may be obtained with a
single apparatus By simply changing the
distance Of the camera front from the
plate and varying the opening from one
hitieth or one-sixtieth OF an inch for
small pictures to one.twenty-hfth OF an
inch for large ones. The negatives LACE
the sharpness given by lenses. A curious
result of this has been obtained by Capt.
Colson in q copy OF IN engraving iE which
no trace of lines can be seen without a
magnifying glass. A present drawback
to this kind OF photography is the length
of exposure necessary, but this will
doubtless soon be shortened. -Arkansaw
