Some curious things are coming
out III the discussion Of the Mckinley
bill. Among others is this: In 1889
We imported into the country hosiery
an knit goods to the value Of &c.
1850, $50, the duty on which WAS 3d.
384,958. Under the Mckinley bill
this duty is more than doubled, and
increased to about IS, 000, 900 provid-
ed that inil ortutions remain the same.
But t! is sum is about 1900, 900
more than the total wages paid by the
American manufacturers Of hosiery
in 1880. IF the tariff equals the
wages paid, it is easy to see how large
the profits in the manufacturing Of
such goods may be. Under the pres
ent law the tariff on pig-iron is con-
siderable larger than the wages paid
for its manufacture. If the idea Of
protection was solely to protect Amer
erican labor, the wages Of laborers in
The pig-iron industry ought to be at
least 20 per cen higher than they are
now. There may be and probably is
a point where wages are helped by
tariff duties, but that point is passed

To Nervous People.

Pick up any newspaper, from Maine to
Texas, or Florid. to AL .ska, and you will
find seductive advertisements with the above
hea 1ing. Presumably these are for people
whose nerves are weakened by disease, but
there are many other kinds of nervous
people in this queer world. Some are sub
ject to oil sorts of apprehensions when
about to take a journey. The train may
run off the track. The boiler of the locomo-
tive may burst. They have heard the bridg-
es on some roads are not safe. The train
may start ahead Of time and they get left.
They may miss their connection with an
other line. The road does rot run into a
union depot. The CONDUCTORS and brake
men are holy terrors. The 'candy butchers
on the trains are insolcnt. Their baggage
will surely be smashed. They know their
trunk will get lost. They will be missdi
rected when they "ch"nge cars. To such
people we would say, buy%your railroad
