it to be an actual fact, abundantly

the system of protection, every hour

material comfort for the toiler than
is attainable under any other system,
the degree of such advantage being
contingent upon the completeness
and accuracy of the application of
the protective system. This advant-
age comes, directly or indirectly, to
all classes of toilers, be they weavers,

Democratic papers are quoting
with much gusto and approval re-
mark Of Congressman Walker, Re.
publican and a manufacturer, at the
banquet of the Workingmen's pro.
tective league in Boston on the even.
ing of the 18th. He is reported to
have said: To-day l can double
my fortune in five years if you will
give me free trade and every one of
these men can do it." According to
the Democratic philosophy it is only
by virtue of the protective tariff that
manufacturers have been able to pile
up immense fortunes and the Demo.
crazy has therefore howled for free
trade as an antidote TO this means of
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But what
will poor Democracy do if manufac-
turers can double their fortunes under
free trade ? Just how a Democratic
paper can approve the sentiment
of that remark-if indeed that is
really what Mr. Walker said-and
make it an argument for free trade
is pulling to one who is possessed
of an old.fashioned regard for con.
sistency.-Detroit Journal.

THE LIGHTNING ARREsTER.'
An Iustrument Little known but Exceed
ingly Useful.

An iltN'F isiibie puN LACNeu-
ingly Useful.
To the uninitiated it is great puzzle
how the dangers OF lightning are ar
rested where there are so many con-
ductors of electricity as there are in a
telegraph Office. More than 1000
wires enter the big Western Union
building in New ork city. and from
one TO a thousand in other offices of
that company throughout the United
States Each of these wires run more
or less directly to the desks Of the
operators; this being the case, how do
they guard against lightning during
times OF great electrical disturbances?
Even when less electrical attractions
are wanting. most people confess TO a
certain feeling of insecurity when the
elements rage and wake up terrifying
flashes Of forked fury. But science
has provided an answer TO the question
asked above, as well as TO almost all
other puzzles which stand in the way
of human progress. Every wire as it
enters a building passes through the
bottom of long narrow board and
then again through it at the top This
board is the lightning arrester." II
the current is heavy the first effect of
the board is to deprive it of much Of
its force. Should the first contact
with the 'arrestern fail to eliminate
the lightning of its fatal powers. it
passes on to the top of the board and
touches spring which communicates
~
all communication with the operating
room. The spring Is called the plush
magnet and beyond it no overcharge
OF lightning. whether proceeding from
a storm or from contact with other
wires, can possibly go.--St Louis Re-

THE HAITIAN ARMY.
There Arc More Officers than There Are
Men.

Ignorance and vanity are the pre-
vaiiing traits OF the Haitian soldier,
from general TO private, and indeed
are marked characteristics of vast
majority Of the people The average
Haitian Is an African savage with q
French veneer. The minister of war,
in n report on the army published in
1867, placed its numerical strength at
20, 900 men, of which number Is. 800
were general officers, staff and regi-
mental officers, and 6, 800 were private
soldiers. AS each revolution brings
forth a fresh batch of officers and kills
off n number OF private soldiers, the
proportion of officers to privates has
not been materially changed. The
nominal pay Of a private is Sl2 year,
but even this amount cannot always lie
collected from the paymaster. by an
order OF President Hippolite no regi-
ment is permitted to remain in the
same post for longer period than one
month, for fear that tho soldiery
may conspire against the government
with disaffected civilians. -Harper's
