longing to the Lake Shore railroad west

About one hundred miles north OF
Oroville, at the foot of old Lassen, there
is boiling lake covering several acres.
The depth OF the lake is unknown, but
its entire surface constantly boils like .
huge kettle. The degree of heat we do
not know, but we were there about ten
years ago and remember distinctly that
1t would scald the skin from tho fingers
in very few seconds.
Our party agreed that it would boil an
egg in four minutes. The smell Of sui
phur pervaded the atmosphere about the
lake, and around its borders something
like sulphur could be scraped up in
handfuls. This lake is near Hot Springs
valley, at the base OF Mount Lassen.
Between it and the mountain there are
perhaps one thousand boiling, bubbling
hot springs, and in tramping about these
springs the soles Of a persons shoes be.

water within . span Of the river. Stand

thousand places the earth emits a vapof
of smoke, while under the surface there
is a jarring, roaring noise as If hun.

earth produces feeling OF nncer aainty.
A short distance south OF the boiling
lake and near Willow lake, which is
beautiful, cold and clear. there are sew.
eral geysers that shoot up streams Of
hot water from Ave to ten feet in diam.
eter and eighteen to twenty feet high.

PRACTICAL ECONOMICS.

RAlfNf In the pA0nln ne H.Ae0a.

Why the Mckinley Bin Will Furnish No
Relief TO tho People st Large.
One fact in practical economies should
be fully understood, and that Is that
where tariff system is the chief
source Of nations revenue and is
properly arranged it will OF necessity
give all needed protection to the in
dustries OF . country. In order to do
this, however, few essential points
must be carefully observed:
l. All raw material that can not be
raised in the country should be free.
9. Raw material raised within the
country should never have more than
enough duty to counteract the him
ORANGES in our own production.
3. The tariff should be as small IS
possible upon things that enter into
family living.
4. The highest taxes should always be
upon luxuries and the lowest upon COM
forts.
Observe these initial rules and it be-
comes an easy matter to 50 appor-
tiOn the revenue as to afford Incl
dental protection to all American in
dustries. Unfortunately the tariffs Of
this country are SO arranged as to ignore
every one OF these foundation principles.
There Is large list Of free material,
it is true, but in most cases they are
upon things which do not enter largely
into our own productions. The single
prominent exception is hides. and this
it is proposed to remedy by the impo-
sition of duty, as proposed in the Nc
Kinley bill. The Pennsylvania manu-
facturers say: ''Give us free ores and we
will sell our iron and steel in Liver.
pool" The woolen manufacturers say
give US free wool and dye stuffs and we
can compete with England and Ger
many in the markets Of the world.
With free wool and dye stuffs American
carpets can be made as cheaply as they
arc In Europe. Most OF these woods
that are desired free are Of kinds that
are not raised in this country and the
dye stuffs are not raised here at all.
The present tariff is square in the in.
terest Of the manufacturer and against
those Of the people at large. The Nc
Kinley bill will furnish no relief. Chi.
