Choking Down Am -rican Industry.

This advice of the Liverpool Daily
Post TO the Welsh tin plate manufacture
ers is an eye opener on this side OF tho
water:
"YoQ must reduce the price OF tin plate
at once. Every reduction made by you
increases the chances OF choking down
the new American mills Tor year or
two, when the Mckinley law may be re-
pealed"
Unfortunately for the We'shmen they
combined TO put up prices here, and have
made their former monopoly OF this
market so odious that the American peo-
pie are willing TO undergo any hardship
TO rid themselves of it, The only way to
keep at home the $50, 600, 900 to $50, 000,-
900 we have been paying them Annually
for tin plate is to make it in the United
States, and that is what we are dong
now. American industry cannot be
"choked down"

American and Enropean Wages,

When the free-trader appeals to the
workingman he tells him that he is terri
bly, taxed and that the excess in wages
here over those abroad is consumed in
the extra cost of living.
Here and there workingman who
has never lived abroad, or who has not
got on well in this country, may believe
this, but below is what was said about il
by Reynolds Newspaper, a workingmen' S
organ in England:
"The contrast IN the payment of artis-
ans and laborers generally between that
Of the United States and European coun-
tries is very marked. Printers in New
York are paid DDS per week. painters
54s., plumbers CPS, tailors 5Ss., shoe
makers CPS carLenters Ais, masons
. IS. smiths Sos, tinsmiths 5Cs, and bak-
crs 42s. 1t way be said that, consider
ing the cost Of food, these wages are not
so out OF proportion, but this is delu-
sion. The workingman in the great Re-
public can live comfortably on the same
wage as the workngman in this coun-
try
"rhe wage paid lin the United StateS)
TO the workingman is ncary double, on
an average, that paid to him in this
country"

Reciprocity Not Free Trade.

Now that reciprocity is working so ad-
mirably it has become quite the fashion
for Democratic papers to claim that it is
free trade Of some kind. There is moth
ing surprising in these claims. Demo
Gratis are in the habit of claiming the
honor of every Republican measure as
soon as it succeeds. But reciprocity is
not free trade. Under free trade il
would be impossible 10 have reciprocity,
for what commercial concessions could
one free trade country make TO anotherP
This is evidently the English view, for
the ~. james gazette says:
I'VE are cndeavoring TO fight the com
-mertial battle of the world on free trade
lines, and wish to fight it out on these
lines 10 the bitter end But it is the
most unwiSe and ridiculous policy TO
shut our eyes to the fact that this B aine
treaty is blow to the success of our
free trade system.
Viewed in England, reciprocity seems
TO be something not only entirely differ
ent from free trade, but very inimical to
the political economy of the Golden
Club Or as the ST. Jdm - Gazette puts it,:
"This Blaine treaty is a blow TO the
success of our fire. trade system" Reel
procity is not free trade. 1t is some
thing infinitely more American, and
better suited TO the policy Of this coun-
try. 1t is the American policy, or, az
the English call it, Blaine's policy. But
ii all amounts to this: 1t is SO popular
here that even the free trade Democrats
now want TO appropriate it as one of the

"Where is this scent barber shop?"
said an ancient gentleman with O
grizzly beard of about weeks growth
and with hair-caressed collar, as he
stopped near dusty BARRIERS pole on
Tehama street, near fourth yesterday
afternoon.
Here you are. sir. Step right in /;
you're next, sir" called a CHEEKY voice
from an open door. The hairy gentle
man assembled the three creaking stairs
that led to the door, crossed the bend
ing veranda, and was then ushered into
the barber shop" by very clean
looking man, whose eyes twinkled with
mirth, and whose lips were continually
stretched III quiet smiles. IL was only
q small shop; a 5-cent shop, in fact,
and it was evident that it was shay
ing shop to which men went because
they needed q shave and not because
they wanted to enjoy a nap in a soft
chair. The chair itself was quite an
institution. Once upon fine it
might have been new, but that must
have been when the water came up to
Montgomery street. Although it was
battered and worn, and though the
stufiing did protest against further
service, and had shaved its way
through the green upholstering, still
1t was better than one would expect to
see in nickel-limit establishment. A
small wavy glass mirror hung upon the
wall In front of the chair, and in the
corner of the room, on an old what
not" stand, was razor. Upon a
washstand were a water-basin, lamp
and shaving mug filled with lather
On the floor near the washstand was q
pitcher of cold water.
The victim with the grizzly beard
left his hat in the hall, climbed into
the chair, closed his eyes and prepared
for the sacrifice. The merry barber
lathered him well, then scraped him
scientifically, rubbed French chalk
over the old fellows jaws, 'combed his
hair and turned him out as good as
new.

his razor through the air and yelled

Isn't This Nicep

The King of Siam is said to have in
one of his country palaces wonderful
pavilion. 1t was built by Chinese
engineer as refuge for the King dur
ing the extreme heat of the summer.
The walls, ceilings and floors are
formed of pieces OF plate glass an inch
thick. These are so perfectly fitted
together with q transparent cement
that the joints are invisible, and no
fluid can penetrate. The pavilion is
% feet long and II wide, and stands in
the middle of a huge basin of beautiful
ly colored marbles. When the King
enters the pavilion the single door is
closed and cemented. Then the sluice
gates are opened and the basin is filled
with water. Higher and higher it rises
until the pavilion is covered, and only
the ventilators at the top connect it
with the open air. When the heat of
the sun is so great that the water al
most boils on the surface of the freshest
fountains this pavilion is deliciously
cool. And this is the way the King of
Siam cools himself off in hot Gather.
1t sounds very delightful.

Farm Wages Here and In England.

In New England farmers have been
offering S25 month, with board and
lodging, for farm hands, and have been
obliged to draw upon the newly arrived
immigrants for the requisite help to put
in their crops. In Old England, on the
other hand, the wages for farm labor
for this year, as shown by actual "hir-
ings," are given by a London paper as
follows:
Farm foremen 49,. .S92. 80 TO s.36. 95 per annum
PIowboys.... 63.25 TO $3.50 per annum
Women servants. 1886 to 1913 per annum

The Sense ofsmelI.

1t is easy in large cities to determine
by the sense of smell alone the locality
in which one is. The dry goods dis
trict has its clear new cotton odor. In
the portion of the city where whole
sale liquor houses predominant you get
the malty smell, and in the horse and
carriage district the odor is squite
distinctive and well-defned. If man
is of curious turn of mind, let him
count the different varieties of olfac-
tory disturbance that greet his nostrils
as he walks half dozen blocks. The
restaurant. the bakery, the confection-
cry establishment, the tailor's, the
liquor store, the printers and book
binders, the boot and shoe stores
each of these has it's own odor to we'll
trained noses, and when the odor is
accumulated, the location OF districts
by the sense of smell is made possible.

Life a Shadows.

In the endless and ceaseless round
of change in the combinations of the
elements of matter, the physical form
of man is as nothing. Byron defines
life as "a confused noise betN cen two
silences-birth and death" We are
shadows pursuing shadows, our spirit
ual natures being the only unchanging
and continuous entities. AS Emerson
puts it: "You are you and / am /"
and We are conscious of being nothing
else. II we accept the theory that the
heavenly bodies grow by accretions of
cosmic dust which is floating every
where in ethereal space, portion of
the dust of Solomon or imperial Caesar
may now be on the surface of Jupiter
or in the sun and other portions on
still remoter orbs, earth in its rapid
flight of sixty-eight thousand miles an
hour having parted with some OF these
royal ashes. Thoughts and ideas are
the only realities, the only permanent
and unchanging phenomena. Men and
nations with all their buzzing and
humming activity are as fleeting as the
ripples on summer sea. The little
ness and powerlessness of man are
ever present thoughts to the philoso-
pher. The brightest is only ray of
sunshine soon to disappear in the com
ing gloom of night. You are only a
phantom of nothingness and yo1r
trivial life is quickly ended in dream
less and forgotten sleep. Earthly life
is now and evermore will be the same
brief but unequal struggle with OBJ
liyion.

didates fo< Governor and Lieutenant
Governor are botn farmers, and the rest
OF the ticket Is composed of able and
strong men.
The main interest Of the convention 20
Eastern people lies in the platform it
adopted. a large part Of this platform
deals with local issues. AS every one
knows, Iowa is prohibition State, and
the Republican party has always upheld
the prohibltory law there The Demo
Gratis have tried i'm every way possible to
break down the law, but their efforts
thus far have been unavailng. In u
commonwealth SO largely rural as Iowa
prohibitory law is possible of en-
forcement, and an overwhelming ma
iority of the peop.e Of the State are for
the law.
Aside from local issues, however the
platform contains number OF planks
devoted TO national affairs. 1t indorses
heartily the administration OF President
Harrison. 1t commends the American
tariff. 1t indorses the Republican policy
of pensions. 1t approves the coinage act
passed by the Fifty-tirst Congress, "by
which the great product OF the silver
mines of the United States is added to
the currency of the people" 1t asserts
unreservedly the purpose Of the Repub-
lican party TO stand for free and fair
elections.
On such platform as this the Repub-
leans of Iowa have everything TO gain
from the discussion that will ensue in the
long campaign that is opened In the
four months between this time and cleo
ton day there is time for the full en-
lightenment of the people on all the
issues involved. Ia such an education al
process the Republicans will gain many
votes and lose none.-NelD York Mail
