Mr.. PREsiDENT-Perhaps l ought to
apologize the senate for attempting on
such a day as this, and at so late a period in
the session, to occupy any part of its time
in the discussion of a subject which we all
agree cannot be disposed of; but the recent
report made by the committee on finance
in relation to the prices of commodi.
ties, the rates of wages and the cost Of liv.
ling in the United States has been 50
Thoroughly misunderstood or SO grossly
misrepresented in the public press and
elsewhere, that have felt it to be the duty
of some one on this side of the chamber who
assisted in making that investigation to
state our views of it's results.
/ think it is the unanimous opinion Of
economists and statisticians who have in.
vestigated the subject that for many years,
in all the great Industrial and commercial
countries of tbe world, the prices of com.
modities have'been decreasing and the rates
of wages, especially in those occupations
which require a considerable degree OF
skill and Intelligence, have been increas-
ing; OF course there are very many and
very conspicuous and aggravating excep.
lions to this general rule, but they are all
attributable, in my opinion, to abnormal
and artificial conditions, created by un-
equal and UNJUST tax laws and by improper
governmental interference with the private
affairs of the people, discriminating in
favor OF some and against others.
| The Folly of Protection.
! Whatever makes it easier for the people
to live 'decently and comfortably, what
ever makes the necessaries of life which
the people are bound to buy and use cheap
Ier and less expensive to the masses, is
blessing to mankind, and l have never
been able to appreciate the wisdom of that
policy which compels men to work longer
and harder in order to procure food, raj
ment and shelter for themselves and their
families; i have never been able to appre-
ciate either the economic truth or the hui
manity Of the proposition that the people
can be made happy and prosperous by tax
alton, whether the purpose of that taxa
tion be todefray extravagant expenditures
on the part of the government, or to in

Quoting per cent. for taxes and 10 per
cent. for permanent savings or additions to
the wealth of the people, that there re-
mains to be expended for their support the
sum of sl1 .957, 400, 900, or a little more than
Mr.. Atkinson estimates, but he thinks that
is somewhat too large.
If $4,000, 100000 represents the annual
expenditures for commodities, then $685.
1888 represents the monthly expendi-
lures, and as we have the increase of prices
according to the Importance of the articles
stated by quarters, the result is not diff
cult to ascertain.
This is the table heretofore referred to,
and it requires no explanation except to
say that the second column shows the in
crease in the cost of living at the end OF
each quarter over what it was at the be-
ginning of the period:
Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-18

We find that during the last quarter of
the year 1889 the increased cost of living
over and above what it was during the
third quarter of that year-the quarter
which was taken as the basis of the inves
tigation-was S27,750000. For the first
quarter of the year 1890 the cost of living
over and above what it was during the
first quarter covered by the investigation
was S45, 900, O00 For the second quarter Of
the year 1890 it was $3.50, 900, and desire
to call attention here to the fact that dur
ing the second quarter of the year 1890, be-
fore the passage of the Mckinley act, the
cost of living fell considerably below what
it was at the end of the first quarter. The
third quarter, which closed Oct. /, 1890,
the very day on which the Mckinley act
was approved, the increase was $12, ,000, 900;
but during the next quarter, Immediately
following the passage of the act, the in
crease was s45, 750 900. The next quarter
the cost of living was still going up and
the increase was SS9, 900; but the next
the cost having begun to decline somewhat
from the point it had reached, it was S53,-
50,0OO, making, in the aggregate, the in
creased cost of living to the people of the
United States during the period covered
by this investigation S2SS, 100000.
Mr.. George-How long?
Mr.. Carlisle-For twenty-fou months,
excluding September, 1889, and the three
which were taken as basis. The in
creased cost of living to the people of the
United States during the twenty
months was $2ss, 100000; but during the
last quarter covered by this investigation,
taking the three months together, there
was slight decline of 15-100ths of per
cent. in the cost of living, amounting to
So, $50, 900, which have deducted from the
gross sum, showing net increase in the
cost of living of 1886, 900, the largest
proportion of which, or s1s5, 900, oc.
Cured after the passage of the Mckinley
act, and large part of the 100000, 900 in
crease which occurred before that time is
directly attributable to the fact that the
bill was pending in congress with almost
absolute knowledge on the part of the peo-
pie that it would pass and become a law.

Durability OF Wood.

The problem has puzzled many why

section of tree, should possess very var
led characteristics when used in differ.

would be the case if the top was placed
in this position. The reason is that tho

ate the pores Of the wood much more
rapidly the way the tree grew than it
would in the opposite direction. Micro
scopical examination proves that tho
pores invite the ascent OF moisture. whils
they repel its descent. Take the familiar
case of wooden bucket. Many may
have noticed that some of the slaves ap-
pear to be entirely saturated, while others
are apparently quito dry. This arises
from the Same cause the dry slaves are
in the position in which the tree grew,
while the saturated ones are reversed.

CALLED IN A BURGLAR.
HE OPENED A sUBTREASURYv VAULT THAI
BAFFLED LOCkSMITH EXPERTS.

About six months ago an order ar
rived at the subtreasury directing the
treasurer to have all the time locks on
the vaults cleaned, says the SIN Fran
cisco Chronicle. Among those that
were taken out was one on a reserve
vaull containing Sra,ooo,o 900 in silver.
From the lock on the door to this vault
the locksmith took only such parts as
needed to be cleaned leaving the rest
in the door. When the vault was
closed the tumblers fell into their
places, the catch of the time lock or
that part TIA, was left, caught all
right, and the door was securely lock.
ed so securely locked, in fact, that
it was found impossible to open it
again, for the part OF the time lock
that should release the catch on the
inside was outside in the hands of the
lccksmith The combination knob
was turned THIS way and that, and
everything that would in any way tend
to loosen the bolt was done, but to no
effect. The locksmith even went so
far as to put a plank against the door
and pound away with sledge in the
hope that something would give way,
but still the door remained securely
closed. and as there was really no ne.
cessity to open the vault the 'reasury
seal was placed on the door and things
remained as they were.
1t became apparent that something
had to be done, however, and it having
been learned that Billy Ensign was
in town, he was hunted up. Ensign is
the wellknown cracksman whose abil.
ity to pick locks has more than once
landed him in prison, and the propri-
ETY. of calling him in was considered at
some length before it was decided to
resort to his skill. BILLY" went into
the subtreasury and at once set to
work. He tinkered with the combina-
ton knob for while, and then get
ting down to business, put his ear
against the door and began slowly to
turn the knob back and forth, listening
intently to the click of the tumblers
as they fell into their places. How he
did it no one of the bystanders could
determine, but it is certain that his
manipulation of the knob affected the
time lock IN some way, forhe suddenly
Strengthened up, grabbed the lever
that moves the steel bolts, and giving
it quick, sharp jerk, the door swung
open before the astonished clerks.
Ensign knew nothing about the lock
when he started in to open the door,
and all Treasurer Jackson could say
was "He's wizard"

presided, and introduced the story tellers.

Mountains, and put up at house, where
at breakfast the next morning the woman
put before him plate Of cakes moist and
pale. One of the guests said they were

more thoroughly brown. A moment
later the same cakes were returned with
the words, "Them's the dondest they

He told another story; that he put up

who said that he did not think there
would be any agricultural fair that
year because there had been no crop.
and the times were too hard to yield a
successful fair. Mr.. Gibson then turned
to the old gentleman's grandson, a huge,

city Government in Germany.

With us municipal offices are the spoils
of successful politicians; in Germany
they are the prizes Of successful experts
1t seems to German as incredible to
hear Of q city governed by men who are
just pausing on their way to some higher
place as it would be to hear of a railroad
or cotton mill thus superintended. Good
city administration with us is an accident.
1t occurs because the man with the ap-
pointing power happens to appoint a
good agent. In Germany, city work is
science as far from politics as is the
science Of engineering or architecture.
Each salaried alderman is responsible for
single department. or for several closely
allied parts of the public business. He
does not serve, as do our aldermen, on
three or four scattered committees
schools, licenses and sewers-about nono
of which he has any scientific knowl-
edge. He is elected to his office because
Of his knowledge and skill in special
field Of municipal work, and takes
charge Of that department. Thus, city
work offers to a young German life
career, just as railroading or manufac-
turing does in America. An educated
man makes a special study Of water
works or building laws or poor relief.
He learns the methods Of the best Euro
pean cities. He serves his time in the
administration of some small town, and
perhaps gets place at the head Of his
chosen department in some small city,
and tries to make that department O
model Of efficiency and economy finally,
he finds the end Of his professional ambi.
tion in being promoted to the same work
in one Of the great cities Of the kingdom.
Here he has place Of dignity in the
social world and, il successful, holds a
life office with the assurance of a pension
for himself and his family

Cattle and Music,

A writer on the effects Of musical
sounds on animals has published some
curious observations on this subject A
few Of these relating to oxen and cows
will be Of interest. Opposite to our
house was = large field, in which some
twelve or thirteen cows were put during
the summer months One day a German
band began to play on the road which di-
vided tho house from the field. The
COWS were quietly grazing at the other
end OF the field, but no sooner did they
hear the music than they at once ad-
vanced toward it, and stood with their
heads over the wall, attentively listening.
This might have passed unnoticed, but,
upon the musicians going away. the ami
mails followed them as well as they could
on the other side of the wall, and when
they could get no further stood lowing
piteously. SO excited did the cows be-
come that some OF them ran round and
round the field to try to get out, but,
finding no outlet, returned to the same
corner where they had lost sight of the
band aud it was some time before they
seemed satisfied that the sweet sounds
were really gone.
II have often noticed the power music
has over oxen. The other day we had a
brass band playing in our garden, In a
field adjoining there were four Scotch
oxen. When the band struck up they
were at the far end of the nine acre field,
quite out of sight, the field being very
uneven. They set off full trot to the gar.
den wall, put their necks over, and re-
mainsd so till the tune was finished,
when they went back to Craze; but, as
soon as the music struck up again, they
came and put their heads once more over
the wall. This went on till the band
left, after which they ate very little all
day, and were continually lowing"

FUNNY pEcOYs.
Pup sea1s snd Other Countsrfetts Made
Out Of wood a. A,s.s.

Out OF Wood IN Alasks.
Shut up in drawer at the National
Museum, where nobody has the privilege
OF seeing them, is curious collection Of
decoys. Perhaps the funniest among
them is pup seal about foot and half
long, quite artistically carved out Of
wood. Its littlo paws are folded across
its chest. and it is intended TO float on its
back upon the water, just as the animal
1t represents does in real life. However.
1t is not intended as decoy for mother
seals, as may be imagined, but a. a
float for tying fishing line TO. Fishes,
recognizing the innocence Of pup seals
in general, are not likely to suspect that
one would dangle hook and line to
catch them. This IL an Alaskan decoy,
OF course. The natives OF that region
employ decoy ducks made Of wood in a
similar fashion-not to attract real ducks
within reach Of arrows or bullets, but a.
floats merely. To the floats, set a.swim.
ming in the rivers, lines are attached,
with hooks and bait for salmon. No or.
dinarily wise salmon would be afraid OF
q duck. So these fishes bite eagerly at
the lures suspended from the coun.
terfsit birds in the water and are caught.
Another very queer dscoy In the drawer
is fish, cut out Of wood and painted
white. No label states. unfortunately
precisely how it lie employed, although /,
is certain that it is counterfeit intended
to attract some big fishes. Big salmon
could swallow prey Of such size, and il
may be designed as bait for them. Think
however, Of the disgust which would be
felt by any scally ogre at finding that he
had taken in wooden fish one foot long
