It is reported that the Colts, OF
Hartford, have bought the American
rights to the Giffard gun patents for
$i,ooo,ooo The gun is simply a
small tube of toughest steel, only
rine inches in length, charged with
liquifed carbonic acid gas, which is
one of the most powerful propulsives
known. 1t is fixed to the barrel OF
the rifle in such a way that when the
trigger is pulled a drop of the liqul>
fed gas is forced into the breech OF
the gun behind the bullet, where, In
SPONTANEOUSLY resuming a gaseous
condition, it developes a force equal
to 500 pounds pressure on the square
inch. The bullet is then expelled at
any degree of velocity desired, for
the power can be increased or dlmln-
ished by simple turn of the screw.
There is no explosion, no noise, nc
recoil, no smell, no heat. A slight
fizz, like the noise of soda fountN
ain, is the only sound. 1t sends the
bullet an immense distance, is not
affected by heat or damp, and is SC
cheap that l25 bullets can he fired
at the cost of cent.

FAIR CONCLUSION,

A casual survey of the political
field since the recent election will
convince any unbiased mind that
nothing short of idiocy on the part
of the Democratic party car, prevent
the election of a Democrat to the
Presidency in 1892. The democrats
will have q majority of the members
from 81 states iii the Fifty'second
Congress, out of a total of A states,
including Idaho and Wyoming. The
Democrats and Alliance combined,
As shown by the recent election, have
an overwhelming majority in Kan
sas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wiscon'
sin, Michigan and Iowa,
The Alliance will doubtless pat a
presidential tirket in the field, as
their strength even at this time fully
warrents such step. If the demo
Gratis should give their support to the
Alliance ticket in the states above
named, the Alliance presidential elec'
tors would unquestionably be elected.
In which event the democrats would
either secure a majority of the elec>
toral votes or there would be nc
ch oice at all. In the latter event
the matter would then go to The
House for final settlement. That
House will be composed of the mem
bers just elected, two thirds of whom
are democrats, and, as stated above
having a majority in 81 of the A
states. The House would vote by
states and % only would be necessa
ry to elect President, See?
Not only would the democrats bt
able to elect their presidential candl
date, but this arrangement would eff
feet a change in the political com
plexion of the United StateS-by
securing either two democratic Sen
ators from Nebraska and Minnesota
or two Alliance men who would VOTE
with the democrats on all economic
questions. .-Batesville Progress.

How Canadians See the Tariff Tax.

Some one recently asked Sir John A.
Mcdonald if there was any truth in the
Dem ocrat.c slogan that the tariff is a
tax" and the Canadian Premier replied,
SIT is tax, and I'll prove it to you in a
sentence. Suppose l have l, 900 bushels
of barley on this (the Canadian) side
which l desire to sell in the United
States Under present law in America
must pay Is cents per bushel. or $50
in all upon my 1000 bushels, before
am permitted to cross the line with my
barley. and when l do cross the line
with it how m uch do get for it? Why.
u get the American price, the same that
barley is selling for over there. Idon',
add to that price the Is cents per bushel
that l paid in at the customs house.
Therefore, the tariff is tax but un-
fortunately it is a tax upon our people
who ship their produce to the United
States"

In no event can the growth of large
fortunes be laid to the charge of the
protective policy. Protection has proved
a dis,ri butor of great sums of money,
not an agency for amassing it in the
hands of the few. The records of our
savings banks and building associations
can be appealed to in support of this
statement The benefit of protection
goes first and last to the men who earn
their bread by the sweat of their faces.
The suspicious and momentious result
is that never before in the history of
the world has comfort been enjoyed.

FREE SUGAR.

The People Will Hereafter Pay Two Cents q
Pound less Than Before.
For the reduction of the revenues the
Mills b l rel ed chiefly on free wool, the
Mckinley bill on free sugar This cir
, cumstance admirably illustrates the
difference in spirit and purpose between
the two measures We consume $780,
900. 900 pounds of wool annually and we
can produce the whole of it. We do not
need to go abroad for single FIBRE We
consume l, 423, 900 tons of sugar, and we
can produce only 226, 900 tons. not 90 per
scent of our demand. Now, the Repub-
Mcan policy is to protect wool, which we
can and do produce, SO as to hold our
market for our own producers, and to
encourage wool-growing and wool-man-
ufacturing; and, on the other hand,
freely admit sugar, which we are not
largely producing, SO as to put it into
the coffee cups of own people at the
lowest possible price The Democratic
policy is to admit wool free, thus draw
ing the semi-savage wool growers of
Asia and South America into cOmpeti-
ton with our farmers, to the inevitable
destruction of our wool industry, and to
tax sugar. The Republican policy pro-
poses to send no more money out of the
country than is absolutely necessary.
The Democratic policy proposes to
send out as much as possible, and
needlessly to tax the American con-
.sumer as we'll. With wool on the
free list every advantage is handed
over to the foreign producer. and with a
duty on sugar every hardship is imposed
Mpon the American consumer With
wool protected every advantage is held
for the American producer. and with
sugar free every advantage is left to the
American consumer.
1t is especially to be noted that in this
opening of our ports to the sugar of the
world, we have freed the people from all
danger of having to pay tribute to a
trust The sugar that comes in, up to
No. Is, is a white, excellent sugar. Fl,
for table use anywhere. The people are
therefore, beyond the reach of any com
bination of refinerS.

A REMARKABLE FREE LIST.

More Than Halt the Total In.portasron VIII
Hereafter Come in Free-fraeticnlly All
Direct Taxation. Except on Whassy and
Tobacco, is Absaished.
The Republican party hasenacsed the
Mckinley bill after ten months Of pro-
found investigation and elaborate de-
bate. 1t undertakes to say thHt wiser,
Drawer, fairer revenue bill has never
been provided in all the history Of she
Republic! 1t undertakes tn, say that
under the operation of this new tsriff
the American people will pay smaller
proportion of the expenses OF the Cow
eminent than eve- before. This con-
clusion will be forced upon any fair
minded man who takes the srouble 70
examin its provisions.
In the first plase. large part of TIE
internal revenue taxation on tobacco
has been RENTED, and all those annoy

lean farmer and retailer are as free to-
day to sell their tobacco as their wheas
In the next place, practically all di-
rect taxation. except the internal rev.
enue taxes on WHISKY and tobacco, have
been RENTED to the people. This has
been done by means of a remarks BILE
enlargement of the free list. Tt is prae-
tieally true to say that every thing, tho
like Of which is motor can not be large
~ produced in this country, has been
pl aced on the free list. A duty on this
class of articles is a revenue duty and
| is paid by the consumer. In this re-
spect it differs entirely from a protect,
i've duty, which is often wholly and
| always largely paid by the importer.
BY its additions to the free list, then,
the Republican party has left in the
peoples pockets a sum which last year
amounted to more than S61 600 OOO
and has opened our ports to mer-
chandse-upon which the American
consumer has heretofore been paying a
tax-which was last year i'm 0orted to
the value of 1865, 4Os, 600. This is nearly
so per cent of the total importation
provided in the Mills bill When it is
considered that among the foreign prod
ucts transferred by the Republican
party from the dutable list TO the free
list are such universally used articles
as sugar molasses, needles, dried cur
rants, round or split straw mating. sisal
grass and MANILA for the use in the
manufacture of bind ng twine, braids,
seeds hemp, turpentine and jute the
Importance of this legislation may be
appreciated.
