DIR. KocH's lymph has proven
itself to be nothing less in the
way of a flake" than was that
quaint old quack, DR.. Brown Sc
guards for a few weeks famous
elixir of life" the discovery of
which racked the worlds brain
a little over year ago. The
first application of the vile stuff
in this country was made on a
young man by the name of Brad
ley. in New Haven, Conn, early
i'm December. The case Was in
its earliest stages, when the first
incubation was made, but soon
after the application of the lymph
the patient was confined 10 his
bed, and recently died from the
affects of a throat trouble caused
by the alleged consumption cure.
In several other instances where
the lymph has been applied its
victims are lying at the point of
death. The American people are
evidently unhappy unless they
are converting themselves into
experimental sacrifices for the
quaclxs of the other world.

THE half-cent has become a
necessity TO the American trade
and the American newsdealers'
association will petition Congress
TO establish a half-cent coinage.
On one-cent papers the dealers
profit is only halfa cent, and in
many instances the half cent is
lost because there is no coin OF
this value. An appreciable loss
arises from this source in the
course OF a year. 1t is favorite
way in marking retail goods of
all kinds to rate them in such a
way that the half-cent comes in,
and in every case goes to the
dealer. This odd cent in large
establishment certainly amounts
to several dollars daily, which
the buyers lose and the seller
gains, for want of a half-cent
coin. The infnitesimal divisions
of industry and retail supplied
long ago made these small coins
q necessity in Europe. A cen
time is fifth part of a cent.
Switzerland has centime piece,
Germany has a pfennig, equal to
one-fourth OF a cent.

THAT A. p. A. business at Es-
canada is considerably more SER
ious than many people are aware
Of. Ii is not merely theme for
discord between Col. Van Duzer,
Of the Iron Port, and Phil. Nc
Kenne. of the Mirror, but is
brought right down to the bust
ness of the city, working good
to some and great injury to
others. So bitter is the fight
that Catholics will do no trading
at stores unless owned by per-
sons of that religious faith; pro
tcstant merchants doing the bus
mess for the other denomina-
tons. 1t is entirely wrong for
so well an organized community
Us Escanaba TO divide, and with
such bitterness, on religious
matters. No good will come OF

home market by smothering 1T
with importations from abroad.
Between this time and the next
national election voters will have
opportunity for Investigating
this proposition and all that its
fulfillment implies. No question
can arise in connection with the
election of law makers in the
proper decision of which our peo-
pie have SO much at stake.
Everything that we eat as well
as all that we wear is the product
of labor. In providing many of
these labor constitutes ninety per
cent. of their cost, while the
average will be in excess of
three-fourths. Keeping this fact
in mind, the man who depends
upon his labor for his living
needs no college professor to in
form him that wages would have
to stand the greater share of any
reduction in cost To consumers.
There can be no escape from this
alternative.
Why can European countries
produce some lines of goods
cheaper than they can be made
in the United States Not be
cause they can procure the ne
cessary raw materials required
i'm their manufacture so much
cheaper, but because labor can
be had there from one-quarter TO
two-thirds the price paid here in
the same lines. 1t requires cheap
labor to produce cheap goods in
Europe, and cheaper labor will
be necessary in this country to
produce cheaper goods here, ex-
cept as this end may be secured
through improvements TO ma
chinery equally open to both
countries.
1t is from this point of view
that the issue between protec-
ton and free foreign trade as
sumes an especial interest for
the millions of industrial voters
to whom free trade attorneys are
constantly SO earnestly appeal
ing. If the prices of edible pro
ducts are TO be reduced, the re-
Enumeration OF the farmer must
be lessened, On the other hand,
if clothing and household goods
are to be made cheaper, the work
involved in their preparation
must be done by somebody who
will be content with lower wages
than are now paid. If those now
working in mines and shops and
factories in the United States
will not consent to this arrange
ment there will soon be little
work for them TO do, for free
trade will place many lines of
goods on the shelves Of our deal
ers for less money than the same
goods can now be produced for
under the scale of wages paid in
all the leading industries by
United States employers.
All of which is well known to
the free trade attorneys, who are
careful to keep the fact to them
selves while drumming up votes
for their favorite policy. Mean
time those who are their pro
posed victims had best not close
their eyes TO facts patent To all |
who choose to look for them.

Several of your correspondents,

have lately submitted. as entitled to
the honor Of being "the longest word

three of the words following, in com.
