which Was then selling at si.20 pound.
The American works ran along until 1873,
by which time the English manufacturers
reduced the price to IS cents per pound,
thereby running the American manufactur-
ers and causing the works to be sold out by
the sheriff. The price was then restored to
$Ll0, and remained at about this price
until the American works started up again
under new management in March. 1874
The price was then gradually cut until 1t
reached IS cents, which at that time was
below cost of making in this country, and
the American works were accordingly
closed. A higher price was again placed
on the article, but since the passage OF the
Mckinley bill, in which the duty on phos-
phorous was increased from 10 cents TO %
cents per pound, the English manufac-
turers have been offering the goods in small
lots at IS cents per pound, which is the
lowest price It has ever been sold for in
this country.

The death Of tho great Frenchman,

work. "History of the People Of Israel"
Renan points out that the prophets. es-
pecially Jeremiah, were anarchists; that
they detained perpctually against tho

commerce and trade and industry and ma

that their teachings were answerable for

the complete ruin and denationalization
of Israel. Prophetism emphasized tho
protests Of the poor. undermined the army
and the kingdom, established the syna-

prophets, interpreted by st. Jerome, were
used to frighten the rich and powerful and

Wordsworth, Moore, Rogers and Brown
ing are the only English poets that lived
to be very old men. Wordsworth died at
30. but produced nothing worthy Of his
best fame during the last thirty years Of
his life. Moore Tor many years before his
death wrote nothing and died OF soften
ing of the brain. Rogers lived to
be 90. and his poetic work was
very small and Of no great merit.
He was rich banker and riches and
banking are not stimulating to poetic pro-
dnction of superior quality. Browning
lived to be n, but the work Of his last
years was not ineligible.
Tennyson alone among English poets re-
tanned his poetic powers to old age, 80 that
the second part of his "Locksley Hall" Is
the best poetry that any poet ever penned
ut 80 years of age. Our own Doctor
Holmes has done the best work, both In
prose and verse, at 50 years of age Of any
man Of our literature.

The farmers in New York increased their
output of tobacco from 5.92O. 42s pounds in
1880 to $50. sos pounds in 1891; and there
will be larger increase this year. The
same Is true in Pennsyivania, and farmers
in that state are now getting II cents .
pound for tobacco for which they could
only get II cents last year, and still less
the year before, This il due to the Nc
Kinley tariff, which has decreased the i'm.
portation of Sumatrs wrappers and thus
increased the consumption Of American
wrappers and made better prices for the
product of the tobacco growing farmers Of
Connecticut. New York and Pennsylvania.

arch engineer David B. Hill.
The truth is that the Mugwump Cleve-
land press in their hearts care nothing for
Cleveland a. "a civil service reformer;"
expect nothing from him in that capacity;
they care only for Cleveland as an uiti-
mate free trader" the solicitude about
"civl service reform" and the 'spoils
system" is nothing but "appoiinaris on
the side;" the real tipple that these Cleve-
land Mugwumps care about is tariff for
revenue only" The Cleveland Mug
wump is something Of spolitical hypo-
critic; he knows perfectly well that the
"spoils system" existed under Cleveland |;
that it has had 1t least . no more offensive
existence under Harrison; that il il sure
to exist under either Cleveland or Har-
rison.
Prof. Goodwin Smith with sound En-.

Mugwumps to confusion when he says:
"How 10 . political party to be Kept on

work for the machine without being paid,
and without assiduous and expert workers
to be kept upf" Hence he concludes that
''the machine and the provision of spoils
by which those who work it may be paid
seem to be the inevitable outgrowth Of the
party system. q, the party system again
seems to be almost the inevitable outgrowth
of the system Of elective government"
This able Englishman bluntly says that
until human nature changes ''the spoils
system" will rule In politics because
without Office seeking there would be no
political contests, no elective govern
ment" This IL all true. Human nature
