During the great fight for free trade
in England in the early forties the Tories
were violent and irrational in their op-
position to it, just as the Republicans in
this country are now. And occasionally
some titled member of the house of COM
mons, notorious for his supply of blue
blood and his lack of gray brain matter,
would raise the point that Mckinley
now echoes-the point that protective
tariffs compel foreigners to pay our
taxes But these sprigs of nobility
brought the blush to the face of the
greedy landlords, for whom they spoke,
and were laughed at by every one else.
1t is mortifying to find the governor Of
a great state going to the England of
1S4O-6-to the Tory landlords of that
England-for protection arguments to
use in this country today.-Standard

A Simple Remedy for Cholera.

DIR. Henry G. Cooper swears by this
remedy for cholera: One ounce of cam
phor should be dissolved in six ounces
of spirits of wine, and small bottle
should be given to any intelligent per
son who will undertake to administer il
to his poor neighbors when they are
seized with cholera or any of its symp-
toms. The following instructions should
be carried out at the same time with the
utmost care and attention to detail:
On the appearance of any cholera
symptoms, such as vomiting, purging,
sudden weakness, coldness, cramps or
spasms, instead of administering brandy,
whisky or any other kind of medicine
put the patient to bed instantly, covering
him warmly, but not overlooking him
with bedclothes. Then, without a
moments unnecessary delay, administer
for an adult two drops (not more) of
the camphor mixture on little pounded
sugar in spoonful of cold or iced water.
Five minutes after let him take a sec
ond dose of two drops in the same way,
and in five minutes more third Dose
He can then wait ten or fifteen minutes
to see whether or not there is sense of
returning warmth, with a disposition
toward perspiration, and manifest de-
crease of sickness, cramps, etc. If the
improvement is not satisfactory two
| drops more of the mixture must be
taken, as before, and the dose must be
repeated every five minutes until four.
teen drops have been taken.
In administering the remedy particu-
lar caution must be observed that the
patient be not allowed to take anything
of that sort or kind while the medicine
is operating, or its effect will be de-
stroyed, for the least foreign medicine
neutralizes the camphor, which is given
to check vomiting and to produce a
free warm perspiration.- Dis

1t is announced from Tunis that ex-
caVations are now being made in the
famous two headed hill mentioned by
Virgil, which hill is situated about
eight miles from Tunis. Many inter-
esting remains have already been un-
earthed, and 1t is confidently hoped that
better will follow.
A temple of Baal Saturn, which has
been almost entirely laid bare, is at
tracing particularly the attention of
the French arch@ologists because of its
peculiarly interesting statues and bas.
rehefs. The building is situated at an
elevation of over 1000 feet, and this is
another proof that the Carthaginians
practiced their religious ceremonies on
hills.
On all the statues of the gods to which
the temple is dedicated the names Baal
and Saturn are found together, which
would seem to indicate that to flatter
their Roman conquerors the Carthagin-
ians had added to the name of their
chief god that of the highest Roman
deity.-Chambers' Journal.

Gear Reeds Re freshing DrolIeries.

Hon. Thomas B. Reed is always re,
freshingly droll, and usually refreshing
ly frank His speech at Cumberland
Mills, Me-, was substantially eulogy
of taxation. The seed of this republic
was sown in jealousy of taxation. Mr..
Reed says, "There is no other way in
which money is appropriated whereby
so much good is done as through taxa
tion." Our forefathers asserted that
taxation without representation is tyran-
ny. Mr.. Reed is well acquainted with
the fact that only one person in twenty
in this country is engaged in a protected
industry, and therefore represented in
the direct benefits of tariff taxes. Yet
he extols this kind of taxation above all
others.-Boston Globe.

adapted. People would not be taxed to
encourage" some capitalist to engage
in the industry of raising oranges at the
north pole. Let 'em raise" ice and
polar bears, to which that section of the
earth is admirably adapted. Free trade
between all the nations of the world is
no less desirable than between the
counties of our states and the states of
our country.
No nation will send us its products un-
less it gets some of our products in re-
turn. No nation is going to flood us
with cheap goods just for the "fun" of
it. 1t wants and must have some Of our
goods in exchange. Let it be under
stood that trade with foreign nations is
nothing more or less than an exchange
of products. They will give us nothing,
nor will we give them anything. 1t will
be an exchange and of mutual benefit.
Balances of trade, even, are settled,
not with money, as is generally sup
posed, but with products-every time,
and don't let that fact get away from
you. Even if they take our gold and
silver, they do not take these metals as
money, but as commodities, and these
commodities are the products of our
mines. That we coin and use these
metals as money does not change the
fact, for they weigh our coins and take
them as commodities, not as money.
But there is nothing compulsory about
this trading with foreign nations. We
are not obliged to take their cheap goods
unless we want them. If we take
them it is self-evident that we believe it
to be to our advantage to do so.-CAtcagO

AS an offset to Lord Salisbury's re.
cent utterances as to a partial return to
the policy of protection, it is interesting
| to observe how France fares under her
new tariff law, which is avowedly the
EXTREMIST system of protection enforced
anywhere in Europe. Last year her du-
ties were raised from 25 to so per cent,
and the law which went into effect in
February has shown during its first
three months how it is likely to infiu-
ence trade. The results seem to have
been promptly felt, and are frankly
disappointing to protectionists. They
hoped, by levying almost prohibitive
tariffs, practically to stop the importa-
ton Of foreign manufactured goods.
The decrease in these for the first quarter
year has been some 100000 francs; but
the value of manufactures exported at
the same time fell off $4,000, 900 francs.
1t is hard to account for this important
decline on any other basis than that Of
the new tariff.
Meantime imported food supplies in
creased by 34,000,000 over the same
period of 1891, and as the duties on these
were all much higher the increased
cost came directly out of the pockets Of
consumers. Without stopping to COM
pare some interesting particulars in
which the trade of this year has differed
from that of last, it remains to note the
fact that, contrary to expectation, the
increased duties have resulted in a loss
of revenue. Instead of greater customs
dues, for the last three months the re-
ceipts show about 81 ,0OO,O 900 less than
in the first quarter of 1891, and nearly
$2,500,000 less than the budget estimate.
And since the increase of duties, with
new schedules and categories, involves
larger corps of officials, this smaller
revenue has between the same dates
cost about 100000 francs more to COL
lect. The principle of protection seems
to have been carried to an extreme in
France where it ceases to protect
Christian Union.

ing for themselves and their 2S5, 900 en-

Peck send his slips to the employees and

to Republicans, from President Harri-
son down, is great and reliable statis-
tician, who would not risk hfs reputa-
ton by publishing side by side, in one
report, figures from the benefciaries of
Mckinley and from those who have
been fleeced by Mckinley.

President Harrisons tardy recognition
of Mr. Blaine's action in forcing the par
tial amelioration Of reciprocity upon a
bill that had no original saving clause
will hardly atone for his previous action
in claiming all the credit of it. Good as
far as it goes, this so called reciprocity
is still "a sham" as the Democratic plat
form declares it to be. 1t INTAKES for

THE DUTY ON WOOL.
1t Protects Only Protectionist Politicians
at the Consumers Expense.

It Protects Only Protectionist Politicians
at the Consumers Expense.
The editor of The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter is by no means a free
trader. He believes in protection, but
he has to deal with facts in the wool and
cotton industries, and these facts have
convinced him that protection to the
wool industry is farce, kept up by pol
iticians and political wool growers at
the expense of consumers and actual
wool growers. The following is an ex-
tract from an editorial in this journal
for Sept. l, 1892:
1t is impossible not to admire the
genial persistence with which Judge
Lawrence, of Ohio, interjects his pc
culiar opinions respecting the wool tar
iii whenever opportunity offers His
letter elsewhere contains some interest
ing and kindly suggestions respecting
The Reporters experiments with aban-
doned farms in Maine, but the judge
closes with characteristic exordium to
The Reporter to join with him in de-
Tending high duties upon wool.
The illogical character of his conclu.
sions transpires first in his advocacy of
sheep as means of reclaiming the soil.
He mentions wornout hay farm of
$50 acres which yielded but seventeen
loads of hay the season after it was pur-
chased. No means of recuperation
were found successful until sheep were
tried, the result being that the farm
eventually cut 800 loads of hay, besides
yielding other bountiful crops. But,
wonderful to relate, this experiment oc-
CURED between 1910 and 1866, which
was mainly period of low wool duties!
Ah, judge, you forget yourself when
you mentioned this interesting expert
ment in the same letter in which you
make the success of sheep husbandry
dependent upon the tariff.
If the abandoned farms" of The Re-
porter are successful, we shall keep
1000 sheep upon them eventually, and
market per annum. But 1000 sheep
can hardly be expected to produce more
than $4,000 worth Of wool per year.
Adding to the annual product of lambs
such percentage of increase in the pro-
ductive capacity of the land as Judge
Lawrence suggests, and it will be seen
that the wool is but moderate factor
in the success of the experiment.
We are afraid to expect that the sue
cess of The Reporters experiment is as
well assured as Judge Lawrence sug-
gests. The chances seem to us about
even that the experiment will prove
failure, and that the tariff has very little
to do with the matter either one way or
the other. But while we believe the main
objection to the increased duties upon
wool under the Mckinley bill has been
that they are tax upon the consumer
without doing the producer any good,
we still admire the genial insistence
with which Judge Lawrence presents
his high tariff opinions whenever oppor-
tunity offers.
