PRICES vs. TARIFF.
(Torrington Register.)

Prices are not going up to any such extent as it has been tried to force them. This was done partly on political grounds and partly on speculation-to sell at larger profits. But the people are seeing through the game. The mer- chants went too far and overreached themselves. They attempted to put up prices on articles that the tariff did not touch at all and had nothing to do with. Other goods that the tariff does raise, have been imported So heavily that the price can not be put up for 8 good while yet It is stated that there are two years stock of Sumatra tobacco in the country. What is going to advance prices where it will be felt, is the short age in crops. The latest government reports show falling off of the yield of wheat, corn and oats, off about one third. This is national misfortune, but the tariff has as much to do with 1t as the rings of Saturn have with the claws of lobster. One thing is as cer- tain as day, that new industries and new mills are going to start and go into sue
 cessful operation, all on account of the law just made. Many thousands of workmen will find employment, and millions of capital have profitable place for investment. Some of it will be English capital, for they see that the goods are going to be made here. AL ready new lines of manufacture are being arranged for, and as fast as they can be built great factories employing thousands of workmen will rise, making tin plate, weaving flax, and so on. About as strong free trade paper as we have says "A great tin plate manufac- tory is to be built in Baltimore as result of the tin plate tariff. It will be the largest tin plate concern on the globe.' As result of the bounty on domestic grown sugar, out in the North west the rich wheat lands that are con- tinually causing an over production are to be turned into sugar raising. Many thousands of acres will be planted next year. The list of new avenues for the extension of industry, and the employ ment of labor and capital is large one. Yet the free list has been enlarged more than by any previous tariff change. It is the inevitable result of 8 change in the tariff, prices are raised, tradesmen taking advantage of the opportunity. But wait and all will come out right.

SISTER PARSONS,' STILL LIVES.

The following letter addressed to THE NEWS is pretty good evidence that "Sister Parsons" still lives, and lives to advocate total abstinence and prohibi- tion. By the way, "Watertown" seems significant, suggestive and appropriate place to hold w. 0. T. U. meeting. or from which to write temperance letters:
 Watertown, Conn.,, Oct 22, 1890. Editor of Neaos
 We, the w. 0. T. U., meet here to- day, and not in the wide world is there more sincere, earnest band of women. We not only wish to teach our children to shun rum, but we wish to teach our boys Coming yoters) to never by any means favor that which tends to favor rum shops. We go in as body for the entire extinction of the liquor traffic; total abstinence for the individual and prohibition for the state.
 Yours in the work.
 M. A. PARSONS, mother of four boys.

Fennimore,s Odd We'll.

There is, not far from Fennimore, Wis, a peculiar we'll, which at pres ent is but little known It is about 80 feet deep, the lower 40 feet being drilled. About % feet from the sur face there enters crevice, out of which rushes current of air with force so great as to be felt at the top of the well and temperature so low as to freeze a small stream which enters on the opposite side about 5 feet above the crevice The first 40 feet of the we'll is through shaley sandstone, so soft as to require cribbing nearly the whole depth. Lower down, where it is drilled, there is stratum of very hard rock several feet in thickness. Below this again the rock is soft. The well is To- cated on the side of a deep sandstone ridge, from which the cold, air crevice comes.-St. Louis Republic.

ARE YOU A DOOR BANeERg
Don't Say "No" Too Quickly, but Just
 Think Over Your Sins.

Don't Say "No" Too Quickly, but Just
 Think Over Your Sins.
 "Are you door banger?"
 This question, addressed to every person with whom we came in contact would probably be met by an indignant negative, yet if they paused to cast Q glance even half way backward they would instantly regret that involuntary fib.
 The art of door banging is one that apparently comes by divine right to every human being, and that art is more carefully developed than many other natural gifts that would, with proper cultivation, enable the happy possessor to make quite as much noise in the world and with less inconvenience and annoyance to others
 Most houses are peculiarly adapted for the display of the door banger's ceaseless activity, a fact which the man who set the fashion for portieres had doubtless in consideration when he first made up his mind to introduce that innovation. To him indeed we should be very grateful, for the fewer doors there are the less likelihood of and op- portunity for such Wagnerian discord
 The man or woman who would not take your life, even under the greatest provocation, does not hesitate to i'm peril your hearing, and the worst of this sort of thing is that we meet with it generally at the hands of those who arc nearest and dearest
 The relative who is up first in the morning that's the one who has the best show at the door. and the arms of Morpheus must exert a double horse power pressure if they would guide your slumbers successfully through that reverberating bang. It is true that in sickness an effort is usually made to subdue this peculiar instinct, or to repress this native talent; but be- hold, when the sufferer is convalescent, the pent up energy once more displays itself in the direction from which it momentarily lapsed, and the music of the present once more offers odds to any that the great German masters can originate.
 People who are evolutionists can doubtless trace the early development of his historic disposition to bang. They will point to far off ages when man in his natural state used to close his jaws with 8 far echoing snap upon the human flesh he devoured; to 8 lit tie later period, when in more en- ightened state, he swung heavy prison doors upon his captives; to even a later age, when, his first musical inclinations beginning to blossom, he heralded to his victims their approaching death through the enlivening strains of the tom-tom.
 Now in this age of seeming cultiva- ton the foregoing methods of pro- claiming our immediate personality are happily forbidden, but there is no law, written or unwritten, against that evil, which is apparently inherent and irradi- cal. But perhaps that Utopia, toward which present writers declare we are progressing, will be land innocent of other than tent like accommodations for family life, where, consequently, the restlessness which has hitherto found vent in door banging may spend itself in pursuits which will be bene. fcial, not annoying, to the human race.-Milwaukee Wisconsin

 Advertising EplgramA
 Lying advertisements are and alwaya will be failures in the long run.
 Pay as much attention to your adver. Using as you do to your other purchasea and you will get equally satisfactory re. suits. Avoid surperlatives, since constant use weakens their effect. Successful adver. tisers employ the simplest words and forms of expression.
 It may be safely asserted that an ad. vertisement possesses more value when it is first printed than it does on second appearance, and that it lessens in value as 1t grows stale; hence the importance of frequent changes.-J. Walter Thomr. son.
 "To discontinue an advertisement ' says John Wanamaker, Philadelphia'a great merchant, ''is like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must let the public know it. Stand ing advertisements are better and cheaper than reading notices. They look more substantial and business like and inspire confidence. would as soon think o1 doing business without clerks as without advertising

Preserving Milk.

An exchange says: Milk may be canned just as you would can fruit. Bring your milk to the boiling point and fill your jars to the brim with it.; then shut air tight. This will keep any length of time, and be just as good when opened as when it was put up."
