High Wages Leadto Cheap PYuanction.

High Wages Lead TO Cheap Production.
Many times has the Economist
pointed out the hard conditions
necessarily imposed upon the in
dustrial classes under Free-Trade
provisions. The products of their
industry are sold in open compe.
tition with the whole world. Their
only hope of continued sales rests
in their ability to underscll the
cheapest products which any other
people can offer in competition.
Since labor is the principal ele-
ment in cost Of production, forced
curtailments in expense of manu-
featuring bears first to all and most
grievously upon wages of labor.
There is absolutely no help for it.
Wages must remain lowering
about the starvation point or the
markets for the products of labor
must be surrendered and its en-
ployment lost.
A perpctually low wage rate was
the fundamental assumption upon
which the early English Free
Traders built their grand concep-
ton Of Britain as the workshop of
the world. English manufacture
ers are keenly alive to how disas-
trous to her commercial supfe-
macy even a slight general rise in
wages would prove. They have
always been able to find in GU,
Tariff bills this grain of consolation
as they believed that Protection,
by raising wages, and hence the
cost Of production, would debar
American goods from competition
in the markets of the world, where
only products of the cheapest la
Dor could successfully comc. Thi:
is the philosophy which lies bacl
of sir. Chamberlain's notion tina
eventually England will gain by
/: our adl,erance to the protective poll
cy. English statesmen, now the new
1 Tariff bill is a reality, turn agai'
to the %consoling consideration tina
the higher wages resulting fror
increased Protection in the Unite'
n States will have the effect of re
tarding the present progress c
American products in the market
of the world. They have to
: great an interest in the fight ca,
o ried on in this country by thei
/" friends, the s'rcformers," to oper

LIQUORS IN THE SENATE.
The editor OF the Christian STATE

The editor OF the Christian States
man, commenting on the recent discus
sion Of the resolution forbidding the
sale and drinking Of lntoxicants in the
United States Senate restaurant, says
that The members who opposed the
resolution failed entirely TO see that it
was not a question so much OF the per-
sonal habits os Senators as whether
the highest Legislative body in the
nation shall continue to sanction the
traffic in alcoholic liquors. The Senate
restaurant is %patronized by hundreds
every day besides the Senators. If
every Senator we're a total ahstaiucr.
there would still be a large and profit
able sale to others. The nation is en-
gagged IN a death struggle with the
drink traffic. Some States have Ill
most freed themselves from the curse.
All the rest of the country IS subject
TO its ravagcs. The sale Of liquor in
the nation s capitol throws the weight
of the example and authority of Con-
sress on the side Of the liquor traffic.
1t d~iscredits the Jaw in every p:olibi-
tinn State and country, keeps every
saloon-keepcr in c%ountenancc end
brings a measure OF .rotecsien to every
saloon. Temperance men and woman
know well enough that Senators who
use intoxicants would no. lie prevented
by this resolution from obtaining
them: but ITS adoption wonia extend
over a small but conspicuous area the
law Of prohibition and would transfer
the weight g: the Senatc's authority
and example to the other side of the
line of battle. The resolution, there
fore, was right and reasonable and
ought to have prevailed.-Amesican

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
The Chinese Army--It Numbers Nearly
1000, Ooo Men.


100000 Men.
With regard to the military organization
and resources of China much might be writ
ten but, to summarize the chief facts, it may
DO said that the military organization on pa
per is only slightly less elaborate than the
civil administration, and that the emperor
controls forces of nearly 200, 900 armed men
only 10 a lorge degree the arms are out of
date and the mon unframed. Although events
have compelled the authorities to show greater
activity, and to increase the number of troops
by the formation of fresh corps, such as Ii
Hung Changes trained regiments and the gar
rison in N[anchuria and Central Asia, the
division OF the army remains unchanged, and
goes back to the dutc of the Manchu con
quest, when it became necessary TO organize
The permanent forces of the empire.
They wero then divided into three separate
bodies, composed of the races to which they
belongel-Manchu,M ongol and Chinese The
Manchus number 67s companies of 100 men
each, or nearly 1000 fighting men. The
Mongols furnish about $4,000 men, and the
two combined give what has been generally
called the Tartar army. The Chinese, or
Green Flag, army numbers between 100000
and 1000 men, but no attempt has yet been
made to organize this force for modern war
China is strong in numbers even with respect
70 her army, which has always been delegat
ed 10 an inferior position in her community,
priding itsalf on the prominence of the edu-
Gated civilian, but she is ably deficient
in organization. London Times.

Woman in the Saddle.

The body should be balanced exactly in the
middle of the saddle and far enough back to
grasp the second pommel with the right knee
comfortably while the loft one is just spanued
by the third ponmel or leaning horn.
The rider is now sitting upon that part Of
the animal which is the center of motion;
the head erect, turning easily without involv-
ing the body; eyes looking over the horses
head in the direction he is going; shoulders
well thrown back as to expand the chest
taking care to keep them in line and not to
raise one higher than the other; the small of
the back slightly bent forward upper part
of the arms hanging straight down from the
shoulders and held loosely, but close to the
sides; the forearm straight out from the ell
bows: wrists rounded inward and on a level

fingers closed, l,nuckles to the 'front.' thumbs
extouded on the ends of the reius and pointed

From the knee to the foot the right leg

the right leg from the knee to the left joint,
should be turned to lis outer side and held

per part Of the left les should be in contact
with the saddle. The left knee should be
placed just below the third pomnel, and the
low part of the leg should hang straightdown
from the knee and close to the side Of the
Zap Of the saddle, the upper part of the legs
only TO leave the saddle at the rising trot.
The foot should be placed evenly in the

Afraid to Go TO His Own Room.

David Henderson, Manager of the
Chicago Opera House, aided and abet-
ted by his Treasurer, Mr.. Prior, con-
cluded to make Mr.. Harry Ballard
present Having spent day in knock
ing about the stores looking for some
thing suitable, they wound up the
rot. 1t was taken to Mr.. Ballard's
same night after his work he retired
Immediately upon reaching his bed
room. AS sleep wooed him he heard q
poice:
This is fine time of night for you
to be coming home"
Mr.. Ballard is not accustomed to
hear such talk. There is no occasion
for it. The first thought that occurred
to him was that he might have entered
the wrong room. He soon satisfied him
self that he had not, and again pillowed
his head for sleep, when:
"What head you'll have on you to-
morrow" broke in upon his ears. This
was uncalled for. Mr.. Ballard arose
and looked in his mirror. He examined
his ice-water cooler. Nothing there but
water. He again went to bed.
Next time you go out you'd better
take me along" was muttered in his
ears, and he got up again and did what
few men ever do-looked under his bed,
and then in the closet. Nothing any
where, and again he went to bed.
Where did you get that hat?" was
propounded in awful solemnity, and he
sprang from bed, turned up the gas and
threw up the window sash.
He sat there until morning dawned
and then retired. He slept. When he
awoke it was noon. And glancing up at
the top of his wardrobe he discovered
the parrot in his cage, with card hung
on the door, Compliments of Hender-
son and Prior
He has tried in vain to sell that par
rot, and he can't give it away. He has
sent it to several places, only to have
it returned, and now he walks the
streets at night, an unhappy man,
afraid to go to his own room.-Chtcago
