The Ruaterdon Democrat thinks that
the reduction of wages in some of the
iron mills of Pennsylvania proves that a
protective tariff is of no benefit to work
iuGmen. The principal reason for this
reduction is the competition of southern
iron mills, in which they employ labor at
lower rates than In Pennsylvania. If the
duty were taken off iron, and our manu-
facturcrs we're brought 10 competition
with the still lower wages of Europe, does
tho Democrat suppose that the iron weYk-
er's wages In this country would not have
to be reduced still further9 There are
other factors besides the tariff that have
their influence upon wages; but however
low wages may get In this country, they
will never get so low that free trade will
cot make them lower.

Brain weight OF Bow, and Girls.

In tho final result of the comparison of the
two sexes In the human race, anatomical re-
searches win form an important factor.
Many ANTAGONISTS have recognized this fact,
and have instituted comparisons between the
sexes from various points Of view. NJ Gustave
le Bon reviews the work OF NJ. Manouviier
and that of NJ. Budin, both Of whom aver
that sex hns no influence on brain weight.
With them the influence Of sex IL nothing
moro than the influence Of height; and II thu
females asa whole, exceed the males In brain
weight, 1t Is simply because tho weight OF the
body In the females Is much below that of tho
males" NJ. 10 Bon puts the theory Of his i'd
versaries to the test In q very ingenious man
ner by comparing the brains OF males and
females having about the same weight By
this investigation tits shown that In the great
majority of cases the male children surpass
the females Of the same weight in their cranial
circumference. At the same age, height, and
weight Of body. the female brain Is notably
smaller than that OF the malc. Herald Of
Health.

show was ION to- was the red ticket. A man
with young lady would walk boldly up %

It was highly appropriate that the act
admitting four new States to the Union
should have been approved aud made law
on Washington's birthday. These young
sister States can hereafter boast that they
were born into the national family on the
same day as the immortal George him
self. The new States comprise North
and South Dakota, Montana and Wash
ington. All four of them last Fall went
Republican by decisive msjorities--North
Dakota by II, 4S9, South Dakota by IA
667, Montana by 1926, aud Washington
by 1871. They will be formally admit
ted into the Union by proclamation 10
October next. They will then elect Sena-
tors and Representatives to sit 10 the next
Congress which meets in December.
There is little doubt that all will elect
Republicans.

Americans and Money.

The American Is constantly accused by
Europeans of worshiping the almighty dol
Lar, !" and great was my curiosity to judge for
myself Of the justice of this charge. After
calm observation Of the ways of men In
America, came to the conclusion that the
dollar was certainly not only the unit Of the
monetary system, but that II was also the
unit of tho metrical system. However, I
soon saw that, IL the dollar was coveted and
held In great respect, 1t was not 90 much for
itself as for tho luxury 1t was the key to; In
other words, that avarice was a vice almost
unknown In the land There Is q lavishness
