by cloud of dust 100 feet high. which
ohscured the sun and made the streets as

could be discovered at "a distance of fifty
feet. Fine dust filled the air and sifted
into the clothing. and breathing to those

A Losing Business for Farmers and La
h0rers

A protective tariff is imposed for
the sole purpose of making the manu-
featuring and mining business profit
able. The extra profit they make is
derived by increasing the price of the
mine products and the goods manu-
featured. The extra price is there
fore tax that has to be paid by the
persons who purchase the goods,
and who are obliged to buy them
The farmers and laborers are the ones
thus taxed and they pay nearly all OF
it. Such a system can not help but
prove a profitable one to the capital
lists whose money is invested in mines
and manufactures, but it is ruinous
business for farmers and laborers,
who pay not only the honest value of
goods they need, butare compelled by
the protective tariff laws to contrib
ute an extra amount for the sole ben
eft of manufacturers. They are thus
actually robbed, and it is done under
the forms of law. Such a course OF
legislation is not only great wrong,
but it is unconstitutional. 1t forces
the great mass of people to deliver a
part of their hard earnings to a
small faction that have no lawful
right to such. The law becomes a
highwayman and takes from the la
borer a portion of his scanty earnings,
in order that few may become rich.
The wonder is that the farmers and
laborers do not become tired Of such a
thieving system which takes many
needed comforts from their families.

A good many reputable citizens in
Massachusetts, have invested in this
scheme of extortion, and others are
advised to buy at present low prices,
as a rise is said to be certain. But
though the trust may escape the courts
and escape Congressional revision
of the tariff, let no one suppose that
such system Of general robbery can
long be maintained. To suppose that
is to suppose the subversicn of all law

BELLS INVENTION.

The Telephone the Outgrowth of At
tempts to Aid His Mothers Hearing.
A. r. Bennett, in speaking at Dun
dee, Scotland, on the occasion of the
Inauguration of some local telephone
lines, gave some very interesting de-
tails connected with Graham Bells ear
ly history, and these were largely sup
plemented by a cOu sin of Bells, who
was present. 1t appears that Bell was
always, when a boy, trying to devise
some means of improving the hearing
of his mother, who was very deaf. He
then conceived the idea of passing sound
along wires, and this idea, which arose
out of his regard for his mother ulti-
matelY became perfected through his
devotion to his wife. Bell became a
teacher in a deaf and dumb school in
Boston, ard became enamored of lady
who was partially affected, whom he
married. He now applied him
self with redoubled energy to the prob
lem of transmission of sound, and in the
course of his experiments he succeeded
in enabling his wife to understand con-
versation and to be understood. Bell
tried to push his invention in Edin-
burgh with but little success, and after
ward turned his steps to London, where
he met with more encouragement. 1t
is stated as curious fact that Bell him
self did not perceive all the great posi-
bilities before the telephone, and looked
with scant favor on the idea of lex.
changes" which have since assumed
such proportions all over the world.
Mr.. Bennett was strongly inclined to
think that the telephone had been spo-
ken of prophetically many thousand
years ago, and he instanced, among 9TH
or passages of the Scriptures, that in the
Psalms, describing how ''thoir line is
gone through all the earth and their
words to the end of the world" as hav-
ing decided telephone flavor Chi.
