American and English Prices.

During the month ending Janua-
ny II, 1891, the prices Of 64x64
American made cotton prints was
2 1915 cents per yard at the Fall
River (Rhode Island) mills. This
was the lowest price ever reported
Since then there has been recovery
TO cents per yard.
American free traders told us that
"lhe infamous Mckinley bill would
add to the cost of every yard Of cal
leo bought by "poor servant girl, !"
or a "poor mechanics wife," or a
"poor farmers daughters" always
using the adjective poor, though the
American servant girl is rich when
compared to her European sister,
and the American mechanics wife
and the American farmers daughter
live in luxury of which their Euro
pean congeners are ignorant.
But since the bill mas come into
operation and the plalnness of the
fact of uuincreased prices has be
come palpable the American free
trader has amended his pleading.
lie now tells us that however low
the prices may be under a protec.
tive tariff, the cost Of material will
be less than it now is as soon as the
tariff is repealed.
Let us see. The cost of printed
cottons at the protected mills of
Fall River was less than cents per
yard during the month ending Jan.
II, 1891. Fur Trade, an English
journal, IN axes note of this and adds
thatevery yard of cotton prints turned
out by En- glish mills for expectation
to the United States during the year
1890 cost 4.07 cents per yard; this
being without reference to cost of
ocean freight or tariff duties.
Now, if under protection cotton
prints sell at less than cents, while
the same goods sell at more than 4
cents under free trade, why should
we repeal proteotion2 Isit not well
to let we'll enough aIoneF Aud We
seem to be doing well enough.-Ka,

1t is n curious coincidence that

ring through the negligent action Of

uitely postponed by tue Wisconsin
legislature on the very day of an ae-
cideut to which it's provisions, if it
had been law, might very possibly
have been applicable.

The War department is still re-
ceivingnumerous offers of volunteers
in case of war with Italy, but if
these would-be soldiers do not smell
powder before Italy declares war
against the United States they will
have to wait sometime for that
pleasure. Its not positively known
whether Mr.. Blaine has yet sent his
answer TO the last dispatch of Rudi-
nj, the Italian prime minister, which
has not been made public, but | un-
derstand that it was read and APP
proved at the last cabinet meeting.
There are several applicants for the
vacancy made by the resignation of
Mr.. Windrim, Supervising Archi-
tect of the Treasury, and as Secre-
tary Foster is now considering the
matter the appointment is looked
for daily.
Elk Representative Crounse, of
Nebraska, who served in Congress
with Secretary Foster, has been APP
pointed Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury to succeed Gen. Batcheller,
of New York, who was appointed
minister to Portugal just before the
adjournment of Congress.
Charles K. Kincaid, the newspaper
correspondent, who shot and killed
ex Representative Taulbee in the
Capitol building last year, has been
acquitted of the charge of murder.

LegiSIa tive Geuymander.

Everybody was prepared for out
rageous partisan injustice in the re.
apportionment of the state into leg
islative districts by the Democratic
bosses in control of our present leg
islature, aud nobody is disappointed
by it. The character of the whole
work may be judged by the part
Of it affecting Iowa and adjoining
counties. Throughout the whole
Job there is a total disregard for
public welfare or convenience. The
constitutional provision that dis
tricts be formed Of contiguous terri
tory and having substantially the
same population in each, Is practi-
cally ignored. An assembly district
should embrace about l00th Of the
population of state, or about $500,
and senate district three times AS
many or $4,000 people. But under
the Democratic plan there are some
assembly districts having less than
10000, while others have over 80,
600, and some senate districts hav.
ing less than 10000 while others
have over 10000.
To secure Democratic represen-
tative for Iowa county in the next
ass emily the towns of Brigham and
Moscow with their Republican ma
iority Of l75 are attached to Green
county district, and the town OF
Miflin with its 100 Republican ma
iority il attached TO a Lafayette
county district, lessening the chance
of electing a Republican from thi,
county by 275, and having portion,
of the county in three different as
sembly districts With view tc
forming a Democratic senatorial
district for "a, the 2Sth senate il
made to consist Of three counties, a,
! follows:
Towns OF Arena, Clyde Dodgeviie, Eden
! Highland. Linden, Mineral Point. Mif1in. Pu

cities Of Mineral Point and Dodgevlle, lows

The 18th senate district tC
which the towns of Brigham anc
Moscow are attached, comprises be
sides those towns, all of Green
county,,,7 towns of Lafayette county
and, 9 towns of Rock county-ont
county and fragments of three 9th

In it's entirety the gerrymander of
the state is fully "a bad az it is
shown to be in the instances cited,
which we hope to illustrate 10y maps
hereafter aud frequently invite at

why Our Spirits Follow the naromete,

Why Our Spirits Follow the barometer.
There are great many people who say
that the weather does not affect them at
all, but the weather does affect everybody.
When the barometer goes up our spirits 90
up, and when the barometer goes down our
spirits go down. When the barometer is
high we get more oxygen and the vital
fires burn brighter, and when the barom-
eter is low the reverse is true. 1t is no
wonder that person subject to rheuma-
tism or neuralgia feels these changes in the
weather with particular force. When the
barometer rises the skin does more work,
and when the barometer falls the skin does
less work. When the skin does less work
the kidneys, liver and other excretory Or
gans have to do the work
But the changes in the weather are ex-
actly what we need as stimuants to the
system, and the reason why people who
live in tropical climates lack in vigor and
wilt down quickly under diseases is that
they have none of the bracing effects which
come from changes of temperature
These may be called species of physical
gymnastics. 1t is exactly like living a
sedentary life to live in climate in which
there is no change.-Dr. j. FL. Kellogg.
