TARIFF PROPHETS.

The tariff prophets are at discount
on the average weather Projectors, even.
When they aided in the launching Of
Mckinleyism last year they foresaw
that it would so lnvigorate domestic in
dustries that the manufacturers would
insist on sharing their increased thrift
with their workmen.
1t would not tax the patience to count
all the cases where wages have been
raised in consequence of the new tariff
Reductions and the introduction of
cheaper labor have been far more fire.
quent.
Then the influx of the manufactures
of pauper labor in the old world was to
fall away, and the imports grow weary
of their competition with the home ar
ticles. Now it is insisted that the vol
ume of importations has not fallen
away, but actually became greater and
increasing.
MCKINLEY himself saw the sheen of
swelling tin industry dazzling the eye
of the doubter as it focused the sun
light. Tin plate factories were to spring
up all over the country, and the compe-
tltion would prevent any advance in
price. A year has rolled on, and the
most hopeful sign of the establishment
of the tin plate industry is found in the
issuance of permit at Cleveland the
past week for the erection of building
to cost $500 for factory. Tine country
is paying 81 per box more for the plate,
and the new duty will take $4,000, coo
out of the pockets of the people this
year.
But we have cheap sugar. That is
true, thanks to the free trade injection
into the system. The tariff and CLAUS
SPRECKLES have made the figures very
low. 1t is true the people will be taxed
Sl2,O00,000 for the bounty to the sugar
makers this year; but the people will |
have very impressive lesson upon the
effect of lessened duties, which they are
likely to extend good deal.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 4.-Secretarv
Rusk is in receipt of kilograms from
different portions of the United States
congratulating him upon his efforts
toward the admission of American pork
into Berlin. The nature of the tele-
grams, the secretary says. demonstrate
the deep interest taken by the people
in this matter and their faith that the
markets of the country will ultimately
be benefited thereby.
The first Inspection made under the
act of March Is, 1891, began about the
Goth day of June last, and shortly there
after Secretary Rusk addressed through
the state department letter to the
German government enclosing copies of
the act of congress and the inspection
regulations adopted by the department
and informing that government that
the first shipment Of the inspected pork
would be ready to De made about the
first day Of September. Since that time
frequent correspondence has been had
between the two governments, which
finally eliminated i'll the agreement
entered into at Saratoga about ten days
since.
The agricultural department at this
time Is inspecting about 1,600 hogs per
day for export.
Secretary Rusk says there can scarce
ly be doubt but that the market for
our
Surplus Pork Products
| will in time be greatly improved by the
action of the German government. In
1881, the last year this country enjoyed
unrestricted trade with Germany aud
France, so far as meat products were
concerned. the total value of American
pork exported to Europe was $40, Goo 900.
In 1899 the value of these exports was
but $39, 1000, 10000.
Secretary Rusk to-day also expressed
| himself as having very little doubt that

| favor as an article of food in Germany
ASIA substitute for rye. Col. Murphy,

who has been in England for

! very hopeful that he will be able to

The German army and the German
| peasantry-the German people. in fact,
as whole are large consumers of rye
bread, and it is confidently believed by
| Secretary Rusk that none of our cereals,
except corn, will prove acceptable
as a substitute for the article. Sec
rotary Rusk has written to Hon.
! w. FL. Hatch, of Missouri, that the
| thanks of the farmers of this country
are due to him for his efforts in their
behalf, and especially his advocacy be-
fore the house of representatives Of the
meat inspection bill.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.--Secretary Eos
ter arrived at the subtreaSury this morn
ing about quarter to 10 o'clock and
was at once called upon by number of
bankers. AT a quarter to ~ O'Clock he
was in consultation with Henry w.

callers in the private room of Ellis H..

After Mr.. Cannon retired Coils p.

to do so he was we'll satisfied to

spare. he directed the receipts

PERHAPS A MAN THERE.

Perhaps the imam in the moon" may
be more substantial than the creation of
jocular fancy. Some recent observa-
tons taken through large telescopes af
ford at least a suspicion that the lumi-
nant of the night may have an atmos-
phere. Some photographs have been
taken of luminous white object that
gives the same reflection as snow, and
the professor who observes thinks it is
possible it may be snow. Perhaps
further investigation will add to the
data needed for definite opinion. If
there is snow, there is atmosphere, and
may be the conditions for life in some
of its forms. 1t has been accepted as
one of the things learned of the moon
that 1T has no atmospheric envelope,
and no kind of earth life can exist there.
The landscape deSOlation visible there
is not consistent with any conceptions
of the presence of the conditions
to produce snow. Kodak work must be
had on the lunar man before he is ac-
cepted as verify. The moon has been
recognized as a small world that has
passed all the stages of planetary exist
ence and is now dead, waiting for the
concluding event, which scientists al
lege will be its attraction to the earth,
breaking through the few miles of
crust into the fiery regions found in
that direction. This absorption will
cause the greatest CONFUSION known to
the planet and destroy third or more
OF the people living on it; but as the
probable dateof the event is some 200. 600
or more years yet. there need be little
present alarm. But these recent obser-
vations will revive discussion as to the
existence of lunar atmosphere.
