THE ALLIANCE IN THE SOUTH.

From the Macon Telegraph. (Dem.)
We understood Col. Livingston's
declaration to mean that the alliance
men of Georgia are democrats first
aud alliance men afterwards. They
will subordinate their views on the cur
rency question to those of the party.
The sub treasury and land loan schemes
must become democratic schemes b.
fore alliance men expect them TO be
enacted into law. They will never b.
come democratic schemes, as Col. Liv.
ingstcn must know. and his speech il
practically an abandonment OF them as
factors in national politics. They may
still be used locally to keep certain men
in power.

A few months ago the peoples party

is A PROTECTIVE TARIFF A TAX?

From the Kansas City, Kan, Gazette.
Major Mckinley acknowledges that
tariff for revenue is tax and that tar
if for protection is not tax. The as.
sertion is the biggest piece of balder-
dash ever uttered by public man. 1t
is the quintesence of contradiction and
exhibits moral turptitude.-Atchison
Patriot.
Instances can be cited by the hun.
dred to show that Mckinley is right.
An assorted crate of white CHINA ware
cost in 1852, under revenue tariff
duty of "a per cent. $3.50. In 1890,
under protective duty of IS per cent,
it costs $46.3O.
We made no wire nails worth talking
about in 1882, and they sold for 81
cents pound, with duty of cent a
pound. The duty was raised to cents
q pound in 1883, and now we produce
SO many that the price has gone down
to 2.85 cents pound. What sort of a
tax is the tariff, and what sort of tar
if is tax?
No soldier or sailor fought in the
civil war rnder an American flag if it
was made of bunting, because the bunt-
ing was imported from Great Britain
anG ost per piece at least $25. A 40
per cent tariff was put on bnnting, and
within twelve years $4,000 looms we're
weaving bunting in the United States,
and the very best that could be made
on earth was sold per piece at $1s.
These are the figures of General B. F.
Butler.
We made virtually no steel wire nails
under the revenue duty OF / cent a
pound: when the duty was raised to 4
cents pound in 1883, and by 1885 we
we're producing 100000 kegs a year.
We produced in 1890, $4,000 kegs.
As recently as 1883 wire nails sold at
SIS per keg. A protective tariff has
brought them down to SITS ia 1891.
Decrease in price of wire nails In the
United States: Price in 1875, 10 cents
per pound; price in 1879, 1886 cents
per pound, price IN 1890, 2.S5 cents
per pound.
We had to ray for English steel rails
in 1867, in gold $3.50. Last year
American steel rails sold at $25. In
1866 We produced 2,277 tons. In 1889
we produced 1,468,066 tons. This il
why protection brought down the price
of steel rails from $67.5O in 1880 to $25
in 1889: namely, because it increased
the production from TAI, Ats tons in the
fiscal year 1890 to 2,O36,654 tons in
the fiscal year 1SS9-90.
In 1857 the American working man
paid for his overalls an average price of
ST. 20. In 1890, the last yesr of the
tariff of 1883, he paid 70 cents. In 1891
the Mckinley prices" for oreralls are
20 cents.
Mckinley is right 1t is wonderfully
strange how hard it is to get demo-
crat to understand the workings of q
protective tariff.

A Mi.oxynous Car Conduc ctor.

A passenger on Broadway car who had been overlooked by the conductor called the conductor back and proffered his fare. As tho conductor went out on the rear platform, hc remarked to Q a passenger who had noticed the occur renee:
 "You never see woman do that"
 When questioned further he said. jingling his pocketful of silver:
 No, sir-ee; they are the ones who hang on to their nickels. This would to heap sight easier business If 1t weren't for the women. They arc up to all sorts of lodges, and some of them will scheme and scheme to win Q fare.n
 -What are the favorlte methods?' the conductor was asked.
 "Oh, tho commonest is the blum act If we don't ask for their fares as soon as they get seated, there are lots of women who will VOW that they have paid. Sometimes they beat us, but often est they pay under protest
 Another regulation scheme is worked in a crowded car. Three or four women, entering together and belonging to the same party, will scatter all over the car Each one iefers to the other for the fare, and, while tho perplexed conductor is chasing from one to the other, liko As not several moro will entor or sono one will want to get of, and then the conductor will be lucky if he doe4p't miss both lots.
 ~Yes, they're bad crowd" he con tinued, under his breath. as he suspi- ciously sized up two domurc looking maidens who were leaving the car.- Nelp Fork Tunes.

OUR TRADE WITH ARGENTINE.
Europe Gets the Lions Sharc-Rcciprocity

Europe Gets the Lions sSharc-Rcciprocity
 and Heta iation-H Hides and Wool
 Tho insigni6canco of our trade with the Argentine Republic is brought out by that country's trade reports for last year. These reports show that Euro pean countries get the lions share of tho trade of Argentine.
 Argentine imports of all sorts were 149 millions, of which over 61 millions were from the United Kingdom, 20 millions from France, 12 millions from Germany, II millions from Belgium, and So, 307, 315 from the United States, this country standing fifth in rank as respects i'm ports But the exports from tho Argen- tine Republic were in the aggregate over 105 millions, of which nearly 27 millions were to France, 21 millions to Great Britain, 12 millions to Belgium, over II millions to Germany, 10 millions to Bra gil, millions to Uruguay, and SC, 066, 063 to the United States, this country rank ing seventh as respects the exports.
 Our principal imports from Argentine are hides and wool. According to the so called reciprocity feature of the Me Kinley law, the President will have to impose duty of one and one-half cents per pound on hides from all coun- tries which do not give us reciprocity. By this method of taking vengeance on the Argentine Republic, by taxing our own people, our imports of hides from that country will be largely reduced, un- less Mir. Blaine succeeds in securing a reciprocity treaty with that country. This, however, is extremely improbable, since the treasury of that unfortunate land is very much crippled by bad iinan- cial measures of the past four years. and the demand for revenue will hardly permit of a reduction of duties in our favor. II the President has the courage to obey the reciprocity" clause of the Mckinley law, impose a duty on Argen- tine hides, and stir up our leather and boot and shoe manufacturers, who made such stern protest when Mckinley proposed a year ago to tax hides, our imports to Buenos Ayres will be still further reduced. Another factor to re- duce that trade is the senseless duty on carpet wools, of which we import about one and one half million dollars worth year.
 Our effort to keep out Argentine inn ports by taxation is entirely foolish, since the importation of goods from that country must increase the demand there for our goods. We do not import hides and carpet wool from Argentine with the benevolent intention of benefiting that country; it is to benefit ourselves. It would he as ridiculous therefore, for us to try to punish that country by refusing to buy from 1t as it was for certain patriotic" French women to try to wreak vengeance on the Germans by re- solving that they would never dance with them again.

Eggs 'or Wagers.

 Most of the Hudson River sea dogs" think that navigation will be open about the last of March, but Captain Corey, of the bridge tug Julia Brainard. laid . wager of 100 eggs that therc would not be passenger boat running on the river until after March %.

told.
 A roadmaster contributes to the Railway Ago some data regarding the expansion and contraction of steel rsils under variations of temperature. which suggest some interesting calculations. Steel rails contract or expand one part in each l4S. .o0o parts with each degree of change in temperature,
 Tho Pennsylvania railroad tracks from Philadelphia to Pittsburg are S53 miles in length. and in this distance tho expansion or contraction would amount to about 1a.6 feet for each degree of change in temperature. Be tween the ninetydegrec weather of August and tho zero temperature of mid-winter the tracks shrink l13% feet or moro than onc-fifth oi mile.
 If tho tracks wcre continuous rails without joints and anchored immovably at the Pittsburg end the Philadelphia end would shrink from Fifteenth street out to Seventh street by Christmas timc and would not return until July. Or if the ends of tho rails were at Fifteenth street in tho winter they would push through tho front walls of tho station and upset tho equestrian figuro of General Reynolds In front of tho public buildings by tho timo of hot weather.
 Rails aro laid. however. with a sufficient distance between each length to permit contraction and expansion without distortion of tho line or track. and the space between each rail is determined by tho temperature Ut tho time the rails aso laid.

 Of course!

STRANGE cRUsTAcEAN's.
Lobstcrs Were once Very Formidable
 Animals.

'Once upon time," said an expert in matters crustacean to a Washington Star man, 'there wero crabs and lob sters in existence for which the modern fisherman would have gone a-hunting with the most improved weapons and caution, For example, in times ante diluvian there was a lobster which had body eight feet long and could stretch twelve feet with its formidable arms. Positive knowledge of this giant of long ago is conveyed by geological re- search. It must have contained meat enough to make a salad for regiment of soldiers. In those days of long ago everything grew to enormous dimeu- sions, whether animal or vegetable. Frogs were big and active enough to leap at one hop from tho treasury building to the capitol, and other creatures, particularly those of de- structive sort, were in proportion. Only few specimens arc left to H. lustrate the giant crustacean forms of that ancient epoch. It is known how crabs and Holsters arc matched from eggs, resembling upon birth nothing so much as the animalcula shown by the microscope in a drop of ditch water. They arc as much unlike tho shell-fish they arc to become in mature life IS grub Is unlike butterfly. In the case of a crab tho egg clusters arc attached beneath the animal after ex- trusion, while with tho lobster they become fastened to the tail. which, by its flaming motion, increases tho stream of oxygenated air through and among the ova-
 '.From the eggs of the lobster are matched creatures not in the least re- sembling their parents-little fellows that swim with feather-like locomotive organs near tho surface of the water. At the end of six weeks they develop legs, unless, as is highly probable. they have been devoured by fishes or other enemies, becoming thereupon small Holsters of familiar shape. Hav- ing reached this stage of growth the young Holsters become walking ami mals, and. sinking to the bottom, inn mediately seek hiding places to pro tect them from their foes.
 .'The first experiments in the adaptation of knowledge on this sub ject to tho artificial propagation of Holsters were made simply in glass jars with sea water that was changed daily. Even under these primitive conditions the newly matched fry thrived and grew to be of some size and healthy. Any one who desires to rear Holsters by hand can accomplish the purpose most quickly by keeping the spawn bearing females in suitable ponds or tanks until tho young come out In raising tho animals on a large scale, however, it would be best to separate the eggs from tho lobster and spread them upon trays, allowing tho water to percolate through. IS is done with salmon eggs. By this method much trouble would be avoided. as well as tho expense of feeding the adult hen holsters.

THE TREATING HABIT.
It Is Responsible for Much of the Evil of
 Intemperance.

At is tcspOnsfble Tor Much or the Evil of Intempcrance.
 One would not expect to find a saloonkeeper strongly inveighing against tho practice that SO largely prevails in this country among the bibulously inclined and known as ''treating." Yet that was the course followed by the proprietor of a we'll known downtown resort in talk with the Saunterer. He takes the view that treating is the curse of the liquor traffic as we'll as of the individual con- sumer; and ho maintains his position with such skill that one is forced to the conclusion that he knows whereof he speaks. His chief objection to the habit is that it ministers to the hoggish propensities of man and drains his pocket. As an Illustrations: A few friends, from three to half q dozen, meet on the street corner. Some mo- ments are spent in talking upon cur rent subject and then one of the num- Der suggests that all hands adjourn to a convenient sample room for purposes of refreshment. This is done. They stand up before the bar and member of the party orders round of drinks Not to be out-done, some one else orders another round. And so it goes until every man has paid out for single round. They pour the liquor down their throats instead of drinking it in q reasonable manner
 In the majority of cases, the success sive rounds are merely starters. The hearts of the treaters become warm and sympathetic, and then generosity is quickened to that degree where they become reckless. Over-;ndulgence is generally the result and likewise reckless waste of money, that in the majority of cases ought to be applied to the relief of the necessities of others This saloonkeeper admitted that it would be vastly better for the drinkers themselves and also for their families if they would abandon this sensoless habit. Why is it not done? Why do men when they gather together indulge in habit that they would not follow when alonep For instance, no man, unless n confirmed drunkard, would ever think of going into saloon and drinking in rapid succession five or six whiskies or cocktails. There is some- thing in every mans nature that makes the idea repugnant to him. This is the result of treating. America is the only country where this custom is 'sountenanced. The habit undoubtedly wrecks many mans health as well as his pocket-book. It ought to be stop. ped.-Chicago Evening Post
