Of so vast sum a little further, and
one can truthfully say that would pay

wonder that farmers and wage earn

they see such vast wealth
concentrated in the hands Of few men?

Is gradually but surely accommodating in

Secretaries strike a bargain with each
other for their respective States. But the
commercial world can only do business on
great commercial principles, not on CORE
spondence between State departments.
Then again, If we must have g tariff to
protect our business in New YORK city,
how can we compete with the same rivals
after we have shipped our goods TO some
distant republic in South America If we
cannot compete on equal terms here, it is
preposterous to suppose than we can there
And II is equally preposterous to suppose
TAT our neighbors will keep up discrimi-
nation against other nations in our behalf
This is all true enough, as far as it
goes; but undoubtedly Mr.. REEDS real
objection to the BLAINE kind of "reci-
prOcity" is to be found in the fact that
it recognizes the humbug Of the "cardi-
nal principle" OF a high tariff and is
rapidly educating the people TO better
understanding of the benefits Of tariff
reform.

MCKINLEY calls Free Trade. In the
bright lexicon OF the Major there is no
such phrase as Tariff Reform. Mr..
MCKINLEY continues:
There never were so many men in this
country who owned their own homes as
there are to-day. There never were so
many workmen who had accumulations in
the savings banks of the country as there
are to-day.
And 1t has been estimated by as wise a
Republican as Major MCKINLEY,
namely, Ex-senator INGALLS,, that there
are to-day In the United States ten
millions of people 'who do not get
enough to eat from one years end to an
other" which seems to show that among
other things there never was so much
starvation In this country as there Is
to-day. The Major, in presenting his
case, wisely refrains from looking be-
meath the surface, or on the other side
of the picture, contenting himself with
the presentation Of generalities which
have nothing to do with the tariff ques-
tion. For instance he says:
Measured by its usefulness in the devel
opment Of the country, the protective tariff
is again unfailing. No nation in the world
has reached such degree of development
as we have attained in the last thirty
years. In every department of industry,
in every avenue of human endeavor, we
have illustrated the most marvellous adj
vancement, and in those years we have
risen In industrial development to the very
first rank in manufacturing, agriculture,
and mining, leading every other nation in
the world.
This is true enough, but to claim it
all as an adjunct Of the Republican
high tariff is absurd. According to Nc
KINLEY's own statement in defense OF
his tariff, the United States to-day can
not compete with Free Trade England
in the open markets of the world. And
why? Because the hands of American
industry are tied by burdensome tariff
that prohibits us from trading with the
Of the world, which has ruined
our merchant marine and made Free
Trade England supreme on the high

OF his long career Of usefulness

EX-SENATOR sABIN's MARRIAGE
He Surprises His Nearest Friends by His
Present Step.

ST. PAUL, MINI, August 23.-The
reported marriage Of ex-senator Dwight
NJ. Sabin and Mrs. Josie l., Swan, OF
Milwaukee, has caused much surprise
here. The divorce of Mr.. Sabin from
his first wife, something over two years
ago, was at that time the reigning So
cial sensation in Minnesota and at the
National capital. The former Mrs. Sa-
bins personality made her a social IA
vorite, and her home in Washington
was the scene of many brilliant recep-
tionS.
When the fact that she had been
taken to a sanitarium at Flushing, Il.
l., was made public her sad condition
was the result OF universal comment.
At Saltwater the report Of the ex-
Senator's second marriage was sur
prise to all of his friends. he left Still
water August 4, taking with him his
| two adopted daughters. His trip was
supposed to be purely a business one.
A dispatch received here from Mil
waukee says;
1.-The report OF the marriage of ex-
Senator D. NJ. Sabin, Of Minnesota, and
Mrs. Josie L. Swan, created quite a
flutter here, where Mrs. Swan is so well
and favorably known. The news was a
genuine surprise to Mrs. Swans most
intimate friends and Pcquaintances, and
is the talk Of the society people Of the
town.
Mrs. Swan was the wife of w. G..
Swan for some years, and until the time
of his death prominently identified with
the traffic department of the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul road.
'Mr. and Mrs. Swan-Sabin are a.
present at Long Branch spending theil
honeymoon, and will take up their resi-
dence at the Senator's beautiful Mime
sofa home in the fall.
Thee bride in this somewhat roman
tic marriage left Milwaukee some years
ago and took up her residence in Wash
ington City, where she met Senator Sa
bin. She was in Milwaukee last winter
on visit to her numerous friends here,
but no intention of her expected mar
rage escaped her."

DIR. PRAUsNITY's EXPERIMENTS.
They Show that RaiIroad-Cars Do Not
Aid IN Spreading Disease.

AAu III OtscdoC.
BERLIN, August Embarrassing in
vestigations of the theory that railroad
cars aid in spreading pulmonary diseases
by means of bacilli coming from con-
sumptive passengers, which lodge in the
dust of the cars, have been made by DR..
w. Prausnity, German physician. A
few months ago the doctor, with the aid
Of a patent instrument, collected
large quantity Of dust from
the floors, walls, and cushions
of cars which had been used by con-
sumptives on journey from Berlin to
Italy. This dust was injected under
the skins of seventeen guinea pigs.
The animals were killed ten weeks
later. Twelve of them upon examina-
ton, were found entirely healthy, while
only five of them showed slight symp-
toms of tuberculosis. As confinement
undoubtedly affected the lungs Of the
animals the doctor comes to the conclu-
sion that railroad cars, improperly
cleaned at the end Of each journey, will
play no part IN spreading the disease Of
consumption.

You should be Happy.

1T is the duty of man." says Tai
mage, Ito be merry and joyous.
Laughter is the ranacea for nearly all
ills. Take man who appreciates
funny things and sound him and you
will find him Il model citizen. People
who see only the dark side OF things
never smile, not even when the clown
cracks cobwebbed jokes at the circus.
They think it is criminal to laugh and
joke. A mans head may be whitened
by the frost of years, but his heart for
all that may be as young and joyous as
if he were still in his teens. The man
who grows old gracefully does not OBJ
ject to the sports he himself enjoyed
while in his boyhood. To him the
world is as bright as it ever was. The
true way to enjoy life is to mingle in
and partake of the pleasures OF this
world as they come, for "a merry heart
doeth more good than barrels of medi-
cine When man feels blue and
dissatisfied he should recall all the
pleasant and amusing incidents that
ever befell him and thus cheer his
dropping spirits" The lecturer related
several funny experiences that came
under his own eyes, and they kept his
audience in good humor.

Labor Saving Eagerly Pursued.

A perceptible rise in the rate OF
wages ruling in the United States and
England, and even Germany and
France, has taken place within the
last twenty-five years, while at the
same time decline in the price of
commodities and provisions has gone
hand in hand with this rise in wages.
In America, the rate OF wages of labor
per diem being high one. it follows
that it is the first object Of the en-
ployer to economize its employment.
The result is that in no country is the
organization of labor in mills and in
factories so complete AZ in the United
States. In no country is the applica-
ton of machinery carried TO tho extent
to which it is carried in the United
States. Here invention and improve
ment are always most readily well
coined in the labor processes involved.
Manufacturers introducing a change in
manufactures have machine built to
accomplish what in other countries
would be left to hand labor to bring
about. Machinery. used to the limit
of its life in Europe, is cast aside in
America if only partially worn, or
quite satisfactory in other respects, If
an improvement has come out that can
do the work quicker and consequently
cheaper. The improvement introduced
by one manufacturer in any line is
quickly adopted by his competitors.
Labor-saving is the result, and cheap
ening OF production ensues, which is
the due outcome of the high cost OF
day labor in the Trited States.

ABour FLAGS.
They Are of Ancient Origin and Used
Everywhere.

Everywhere.
Flags are Of very ancient origin,
indeed 1t is probable that almost as
soon as men began to collect together
for common purposes some kind OF
conspicuous object was used as the
symbol of the common sentiment. The
ancient Persians b6re IN eagle fixed to
the end of lance. The Greeks cai'-
ried piece of arnnor VI. smear in
early times. The flags of the United
States were very various before and
even after the declaration Of independ-
enee, hnd even after the introduction
OF the stars and stripes, these under
went many changes in the manner of
their arrangement before taking the
position now established.
The flag of the United States has
since 1918 consisted III 19 horizontal
stripes Representing the 13 original
states OF the union) seven red and six
white, placed alternately with blue
union having displayed on it one white
five-pointed star for each state in the
union. Flags are used atloat and
ashore for signaling. They are often
raised on public buildings to show that
they are open for business, or lowered
rs a mark of respect ut the death OF
some prominent person. A white flag
is flag of truce; when displayed in
battle it means sn invitation to the
enemy to confer. When displayed up
side down it is an Indication OF dis
tress. A black flag is used by pirates.
When one OF yellow color is displayed
it denotes the presence OF contagious or
infectious disease, and in time Of war
denotes hospital containing the sick
and wounded. The most common en-
ployment of flags, however, is as mill
tary ensigns, colors or standards. In
the army a flag is a banner by which
one regiment is distinguished from an
other, and is usually called the colors.
In the navy flags are borne at the
masthead not only to designate the
nationality OF vessel but also to indi-
cate the rank of the officer in command,
an admiral's presence being denoted by
his at the main, vice-admiral carry
ing his at the fore, and n rear admiral
at the mizzeu. In the United States
navy the admiral's flags are blue with
four, three or two stars, according to
rank. When the president goes ahoat,
the national emblem is displayed in the
bow of his barge or ut the main of tho
man-of-war which receives him. To
every government its flag is its hope,
life and all. To treat it with light re-
spect would be unpatriotic and dis
loyal; to insult it would be grossly
reasonable.
