making It evident that Wexford county
will contribute at least $4,000 to the
development fund. Great interest is
manifested here, and more shares will
be taken. Meetings will now follow
in rapid succession in all the cities and

man make his own comparisons.
Bring out the account books of

Some of the free trade papers are
arguing that the wool on a sheep is
the least element of value-that If the
animal is valued at 81, the flesh is
worth So and the wool 81. All this
may be true, and yet the wool be the
chief element of value; They forgot
that the 81 worth of wool is an annual
crop. and that the sheep thus pays %
per cent on its value every year. If
the animal is sold at 81, and the money
be invested at per cent. it pays only
"a cents year, while if it be kept for
its wool, it pays ST year on the CAPT
tai invested. BLADE

The free trade Democrats have
howled for years over the poor mans
breakfast table," Well, there has
been no duty on coffee or tea since
1872, both being put on the free list in
that year, and the only thing on the
aforesaid breakfast table which could
serve as basis for the howl is sugar.
Now comes the new Mckinley bill,
which proposes to remove this tax by
putting sugar on the free list, re-
moving an annual aggregate of some
thing like $50, 600, 900 per year from
800 -,- :, nov for sugar, yet
opposing it with united voice. There
is no consistency In this. Blade.

It is singular what arguments will be
used to those who are opposed to
doing justice to the ex-Union soldiers
and sailors in the matter of pensions.
The Philadelphia Times says that
"the amount paid in pensions last
year exceeded the aggregate dividends
of all the railroads in the country"
Well, what If it dido 1t ought to.
The soldiers who fought to preserve
this country are entitled to more con-
sideration than the capitalists. Even
yet justice has not been done the
soldiers, nor will it be until a service
pension bill is passed. Blade.

On Thursday. May LIST, the last of
Michigan's bonded debt, amounting
to 1929, 00O will mature. and the bonds
will be called in and paid from the
sinking fund. which has been SO
sacredly guarded for years in anticipa-
ton of this event. Michigan will
then stand forth, almost unique in the
sisterhood of this American union,
with happy, prosperous and intelli-
gent population: with state institutions
that have for years stood as models
for other states; with an educational
system that is unsurpassed; with a
climate, soil, and natural and develop
ed resources scarcely excelled by any
state, and without dollar Of indebt-

of unbroken Republican policy honest
ly carried out. 1t tells it's own story.

The policy of Republican states is
somewhat different from those OF

The supreme SQUIRT has decided in
the test case of A. J. Smith, of Clinton

under the supposition that they were

covered that the fund for such pur-
poses was exhausted, are entitled to the

The Chicago Journal sums up the
argument agalr st "a tariff for revenue
only" in the following lucid crystal
of solicited truth:
Free trade, or tariff so low as to
permit great volume of importations,
would close every American factory,
drive millions of workmen into idle
ness, destroy the market for farm pro-
ddce. and precipitate general bank
ruptcy."

A S1o.OoO Thermometer.

"The finest thermometer in this coun-
try, and suppose in the world, is at
Johns Hopkins University" remarked
Lieutenant Finley, the Government Sig
nal Service Inspector. Lieutenant Fin
ley inspects great many thermometers
every year and he knows something about
them. "This remarkable instrument, y
he continued, is known as Professor
Rowlands thermometer, and it is valued
at the enormous sum of SO, 900. 1t is
absolutely perfect, and SO fine are the
graduations on the glass that it requires a
telescope to read them. There are a
number of fine instruments that are
rugged with telescopes. But an instru-
ment like that would be of no possible
use to an ordinary individual It re-
quires scientific education in order to
read them. The United States Govern
ment don't go in for expensive thermome-
tiers, said Lieutenant Finley. II don't
suppose the finest one at the headquarters
of the weather bureau in Washington is
worth over 500. The thermometers
used at the signal stations cost S. A
thoroughly reliable instrument can be
purchased for that amount. These Their
mometers are about twelve inches long
Each station has several of them. 1t is
necessary to have two kinds, the spirit
thermometer to measure minimum tenn
perature and the mercurial thermometer
to measure the maximum temperature.
There are three famous makers in the
United States, two of whom are in New
York. A thermometer is like wine, ~
Lieutenant Finley remarked; sit i'm
proves with age. The older it gets the
better it is. 1t is absolutely necessary
for the tube to season. It must be sew
eral years old before it becomes reliable. !"

A Flour Made of Silver.

Silver floors are properly supposed to
exist only in the imagination of the au-
thors of 1.-The Arabian Nights" or of
poets whose descriptions are somewhat
exaggerated. But, going the other day
into the office of Handy & Hartman,
dealers in bullion, in Nassau street,
found the floor of the room neatly paved
with some hundreds of slabs of the shin
ing white metal, each of them about the
size and shape Of an ordinary brick Mr..
Parker Handy Of the firm informed me
that they were assay bars-that is to say,
silver that had passed through the United
States Assay Office and received the
Government stamp testifying to their
being of the standard ineness, and con-
timing each certain weight of the
precious metal. He tells me that it is
no unusual thing for the leading bullion
houses here to handle in one day hun
dreds of thousands of ounces of silver.
Just for the sake of the experience,
took a short walk up and down this silver
pavement, but | cannot say that, outside
of its appearance and the name of the
thing, the high-priced material possesses
any advantages over the style of pave
