JUST FOR FUN.


1t is not likely that an appeal for the ad
mission of Utah to the Union WILL be sen,
up to Congress in the immediate future.
We may even DOUBT that the matter will
come up in the coming session of the ma
tional Legislature: hence all this talk on the
subject is little more than a waste of
words. However, we cannot refrain from
publishing the following from the editorial
columns Of the Omaha World Herald where
it appears under the caption. Statehood
for Utah" IL is reproduced here largely
through a spirit OF malice, hereby frankly
confessed, the purpose being to give our
morning contemporary another attack of
rabies. The frothing at the mouth act will
be performed in to-morrowis Tribune:
The World Herald is one OF those papers
which is fond OF taking an optimistic view of
things in general and OF national affairs in par

CANADIAN POLITICS,

1t looks now as if the death Of Sir JOIN
MACDONALD had plunged the Tories into o
state of utter Generalization. The eleya
ton OF Mr.. ABBOTT to the premiership is
looked upon as an unsatisfactory com
promise which cannot endure long. In 1919
he favored annexation to the United States
and the Liberals are not slow in haunting
him with it. Moreover his connection with
the great Pacific railroad scandal as counsel
will be used by the opposition to embarrass
him. No Canadian leader except the dead
Sir JOHN MACDONALD could ever have
lived down an odious connection like this
and it kept even him out Of office several
years.

able successor TO Sir JOIN, Mr.. ABBOTT

A TARIFF PICTURE.

In the Sc days of tariff pictures it is in.
teresting and instructive to come across
one which means something more than the
crude drawings of the amateurs who have
little regard for the truth and no idea what
ever Of the meaning of the turned rule dis
play which they make. 1t is such an inter
esting and instructive picture which the
Sioux City Tribune presents in the history
of the window glass industry of this
country IN its relation TO the tariff. Peo-
pie can readily understand the showing. be-
cause every body uses window glass. and
everybody can learn how much more than
the actual value of the article he is
compelled to pay by reason of the protec-
tive duty. The industry is one of the best
protected in the country, and for IO2
years The infant has been carefully nursed,
the first duty, 10 per cent, having been
imposed in 1859. 1t would seem that IN a
hundred years the infant should have
gained sufficient strength 10 walk alone,
but our Iowa contemporary has hunted
through the record and learned that the
duty was increased in 1874, 1916, 1924 and
1928, until il was equal to about % per
cent In 1916 it was reduced to 20 per
cent, IN 1851 TO ID per cent. In 1861 il was
raised to IS to so per cent; in 1884 it was
raised to 6S to l32 per cent, and by the
MCKISLEY tariff raised TO 142 per cent.
There are nifty eight makers of window |
glass in this country and they are members
OF a private trust called the American Win /
dow Glass Manufacturers Association.
They absolutely control the production and
and the amount of wages in the Industry
in this country. and they can increase the
price up to the point at which foreign win
dow glass can come in, which is only bv
paying duty of l42 per cent. AS this in
dustry has been SO carefully protected for
over a century, and as during the years
after 1850 the cost of manufacture was
greatly decreased by improved processes
and by substitution Of natura, gas for far
more expensive fuel, it might be supposed
that the price of window glass has been
greatly reduced, but it is fact that the
price TO consumers is the same as it was in
1870. In wholesale prices there has been a J,
very small decrease as shown by the fol-
ewing table of the price Of half boxes of /.
he different qualities and sizes:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-06-21

From these tables q very good idea may
be obtained Of the immense profits paid
to the window glass trust by the con-
sumers Of this country Since October 8,
1890, the date on which the MCKINLEY law
went into effect, the price of window glass
has been increased, and any honest dealer
will say so. On account Of the tariffs
prior to the passage of the MCKINLEY bill,
the people Of this country had been paying
an enormous tribute to the window glass
trust and since that law went into effect
they have been compelled TO pay great
deal more. The window glass monopoly is
taken merely as an illustration to show
that the effect Of the MCKINLEY law, as
well as OF all other tariff laws, has been to
increase the cost to consumers of all ar
ticles upon which duty is levied

sorts of grain.
Siberia signifies thrifty or dry-very

The Kangaroo Becoming Extinct.

Birge Harrison tthe American artist,
now in AustraIia) describes a kangaroo
hunt in ScriJaer. This curious animal
has been practically exterminated in the
older parts of Australia. The author
says: "In some parts Of Victoria they for.
merly outnumbered the sheep as two to
one, and old shepherds have told me that
it was not an uncommon thing to see the
sheep and kangaroos feeding together
upon the plains, as many as two or three
thousand kangaroos frequently accom-
panying a flock of a thousand sheep.
Thus it will be see that a station which,
in 1850, could barely Craze five thou
sand sheep, can now be made to carry
forty thousand without any danger OF
overstocking.o

-, Tho American Elephant Work ?

/, modern times, we have only to look
india to be convinced of the great
',of,lness of the elephant. To the ag-
s.s,,lturist. who uses him before his
.ssoon or his pillow, he is indispensable,
WI for the transportation of heavy arti-
alss he has no rival. We see him carry
ssa ;mmense tree-trunks out of the In
i'm forest, and by his indefatigable in
sanstrg. in picking up and carrying off
asroe stones, aiding the construction of
roads and railways. For labor Of this
4 ind 4 coolie receives from four to eight
annas. while five and six rupees are paid
Nh thedaily work of ar elephant. From
this fact. we conclude that one elephant
rarforms the work of from twelve to
Twenty-Five coolies.
From the record of the British expedi-
aon against King Theodore of Abyssinia
HI 1868, we learn that forty-four ele-
infants were shipped from Bombay for
a,se ii the campaign. Of this number
Ave succumbed during the campaign.
The remaining thirty-nine rendered val
liable services, being entrusted with the
Transportation, through a mountainous
country, Of cannon ammunition and sup
niles. It was frequently very difficult to
2rocure proper food for them and as it
was often necessary to traverse great dis
sances to reach the watering places, the
death of the five animals is ascribed to
these hardships. Although elephants
move slowly through a mountainous
country and soon become foot-sore, they
perform their task with admirable faith
