Gold in Graves.

When the coming man wants to find
a gold mine he will have to go and dig
on the sites OF the graveyards of to-
day.
Why so? Because that's where all
the gold will be in a few generations if
we go on buying it in the shape OF
rings, jewelry, and the Filings of teeth
as we are doing at present.
Several million dollars worth OF gold
goes into the poor teeth OF the Ameri-
can people every year. Look around
among your friends. How many OF
them are there who have not from one
to ten dollars i'll gold Filings in their
teeth?
Strike an average. suppose that OF
the 0,00O,0 people in the country
today 30,OOO,O0O have an average of
three dollars in their teeth. This is a
moderate estimate and means at least
$50, 900, 900 that will he buried in the
graveyards within a few years.
1t is gruesome subject, but strictly
scientific. The gold supply is becom-
ing more and more inadeuuate all the
time for the needs OF the arts as well
as for the uses OF nations as q finan-
cial basis. Probably from $3, 600, 600
to So. .OO0, 900 a year in pure gold goes
back to it's native earth in the teeth of
the dead. AS the human body is very
destructible and gold is not what
placers these American graveyards
will be in course OF timel
1t is buried in other ways also.
Mems bodies are rarely buried with
jewelry on, but there are very few
women who are not laid to their last
rest wearing a ring or some other
trinket OF gold.
By the general introduction OF ere.

be saved in the furnaces; but unpleas,

sition than the placer mines OF future
generations will be in the graveyard!

preventing it, as people will be buried
with jewelry on, and insist on having
their teeth filed with gold.

Chicago Will Sink.

Again the wild rumor is started that
Chicago is sinking. Its subsoil is CIV
ing way. How would it do to pump
it full OF Chicago river gas?- st. Louis
Star Sayings.
Chicago is going to sink forty feet of
the big Worlds Fair buildings, if they
are erected as ascontemplated. Another
reason why the worlds fair should
have been given to st. Louis, a city
that is on a solid foundation. We
have always prophesied that the bot
tom would fall out OF Chicago one of
these days.-Exchange.
A German engineer now comes to
the front to say that if the colossal
buildings proposed for the worlds fair
are erected in Chicago the city will
sink under their weight, as the waves
of Lake Michigan have already washed
away a great part of the ground under
her. II she gets in such trouble, how
ever, this engineers story will not
bale her out, for it doesn't hold water.
Baltimore American,
Some scientific idiot has discovered
that the earth on which Chicago
stands will collapse in 1898, and the
whole outfit, including the Columbian
Exposition, will drop forty miles into
the mud. That's something of a drop
| but you can wager your last nicke
that Chicago will get all the advertis
ing out of it that is to be had. II
takes something more than a drop o
forty miles to disconcert the average
lChicago man.-Baltimore World.

John L. is Challenged.

New YORK, Jan. 2l.-Billy Madden
called at the Office of the Sporting
Clipper to-day and presented GER
titled check for 5000, as deposit
for $4,000 with which he wished to
back Peter Maher in fight against
Sullivan. The Clipper refused to hold
the stakes and Madden and his friends
went to the World office to deposit
the money. At the World Office the
$4,000 deposit was received by George
Richardson, sporting editor, and a
formal challenge drawn up. In it,
Maher challenged Sullivan to fight for
$4,000 and for any sum from $500
up, and expresses willingness to have
the fight take place under the auspices
of the club Offering the most favorable
terms. Two weeks is the time stated
within which Sullivan may accept or
decline the challenge, and if he declines
it or fails to answer it Maher will
claim the championship OF the world
A fight has been arranged between
Bob Fitzsimmons and Peter Maher
for a purse of $40, 1000 at the Olympic
club, New Orleans, March 2.

HARRISON AND BLAINE.
Thoroughbred Democrats PEN Picture Of
the President.

Washington Special to the Phiadel-
phia Record: 1 wonder what Presi-
dent Harrison's thoughts were as he
walked over from the White House to
to the Red House when he heard the
news OF Blaine sudden illness recently.
Remember how much Blaine's illness
would mean to Harrison. Remember
that Blaine, or Blaine's shadow, is all
that stands between him and the pres
Idency; and then think what he may
have thought; yes, must have thought,
when, having gotten the news, which
had been considerably kept from him
by the state department people until
hours after everyone else knew it, he
put out his coat and hat and walked
the block and a half from his door to
Blaine's.
l suppose that all President Harri-
sons thoughts as he walked over to
the Red House were full of regret and
sympathy. President Harrison is
manly man, OF quick sympathies as
well as tender sensibilities, and, in a
time OF distress or trouble, is the best
of friends, the most considerate of
In spite OF all that has been said pub
lichly or privately about President
Harrison, no one has ever been able
to successfully impeach his sincerity
AS a Christian, and the qualities which
he manifests when the the touchstone
OF an emergency is presented give the
lie to the aspersions sometimes made
upon his character. know that it is
fashionable for a certain class of
critics of the administration to make
personal attacks on its head as a mar
row man, but iU is no longer possible
to make people here in Washington
who know about him believe that he
is narrow, any more than it is posi-
BILE to make the people in the country
believe now the statement
that he is little, intellectually as we'll
as physically.

Improvement in Woolen Goods.
New York Press.1


The Morrill, tariff developed Ameri-
can wooden manufactures of low grades
until cheapness was illustrated in
ways already familiar to our readers.
They remember how Mr.. E. A. Harts-
horn of Troy wore throughout the
rain storm that attended President
Harrison's inauguration an all wool
overcoat that cost less than the total
amount of the duty on a similar i'm
ported overcoat and that his horse
carried on the same occasion an all
wool blanket, which in the same way
disproved the parrot-like assertion
that the tariff is a tax. And they re-
member that superintendent jackson
OF Castle Garden, under the old state
control OF immigration, testified be-
fore Congressman Owens investigating
committee, on the 9th of April, 1890,
that immigrants bring less baggage
than formerly, because they have
found that CLOTHING and household
utensils are as cheap here as in the
old countries.
1t is q confirmation of the signifi-
canoe of these facts that the chief
objection made Except by demagoguesl
to the wOolens and worsted schedule
has been the increased cost OF the inn
ported English goods which the chap
pies OF the Fifth avenue clubs wear
because they want London fashions,
and which some other men OF means
buy because they can afford to pay
the duties on them, for the sake OF the
fine quality which the English have
been able to attain by reason OF a
lower rate of interest on money, which
enables them to carry out certain slow
finishing processes without loss. The
Mckinley law, however, aiming as 1T
does alike in the cotton, the woolen,
the linen and the iron schedules, to
enable this country to manufacture
finer qualities OF goods as we'll as
coarser, does much to compensate for
this disadvantage i'm interest. How
far has it succeeded or begun to sue
ceed? We will let n dry goods man,
Mr. Tweedy OF Lee, Tweedy & Co.,
this city, answer this question. His
answer WAS published few days ago
in Democratic journal, the New
York World. Mr.. Tweedy says:
Seventy-Gve per cent. of the dress goods
sold in this country to-day are OF Ameri-
can manufacture. Ten years ago the per-
centast WIS just tie rcNtrst. w" hIhcif

capable OF doing just as good work any
abroad. The goods manufactured here are

facture. The American manufactures lis

permit himself to be outdone-
Not only has the quality been main
tanned, but the prices have come down

supply, demand and competition, till,
for the millionaire as well as the immi-
grant, clothing is as cheap here as in
the old countries

A Voice from Texas.

Washington Special to Inter-Ocean:
Chairman Springer is not to have
everything his own way with free
wool bill, and he has already discov-
cred that he can not lead the Demo-
cratic party without some vigorous
opposition. Mr.. Sayers OF Texas, is
one OF the leading Democrats OF the
South. He remarked to-day, with in
dignation, that Mr.. Springer will not
be able to get his bill providing for
free wool through the House unless he
should offer something to the farmers
i'm return in the way of cheaper woolen
goods. Mr.. Sayers says that he repre-
sents one OF tine largest wool-produc-
ing states in the Union, and that he
does not think his people would object
to free wool provided they were given
free woolen goods, but when the ques-
tion is put of taking off the duty on
the farmers products and retaining 1t
on that Of the manufacturer, that ls
not the kind of tariff reform, he says,
that his people prefer.

A Fish Hatchery For Montana.

Senator Power is in receipt OF a let
ter from II. Mcdonald, United States
fish commissioner, referring to the pro-
posed establishment of fish hatchery
for Montana, in which he says: "Con-
sidering the purposes OF the station
and its opportunities for usefulness,
am OF the opinion that the location
should he in the central or southern
proximity to the National Park, which
abounds in streams to be stocked
which it should be the special care OF
the government to maintain. Favor
able sites are to be found on the Cot
tonwood, at Deer Lodge; at Childs',
near Helena; on the Rattlesnake, near
Missoula; at Botteler's Springs, be-
tween Livingston and Cinnabar; at
Davies Springs, four miles from Boze-
man, and at Horsethief Springs,
seventy miles southwest from Boze-
man. The last named is an ideal To-
cation for a hatchery, presenting every
desirable local condition. If it were
not so remote from railroads | would
have no hesitation in indicating it as
the most desirable site. Under pres
ent conditions it is not available.
Other localities best filling all the con.
tions are Botteler's Springs and Dav-
les Springs, and others might be men,
toned. Under the circumstances do
not think it would be well to Indicate
the site. Discretion should be left to
the commission in the matter. The
condition might be imposed making
the availability OF the appropriation
depend upon the donation OF the site,
in case the location be not on the lands
OF the government. OF the propriety
of this you can judge best. Formal
report and recommendations will go
in early in January"

Not an Abandonment Of Protection.

Congressman Burrows, of Michigan,
in his address to Boston merchants
on the 7th inst. spoke as follows in
relation to protection and reclproc-
ity: al have heard it urged in some
quarters, with more vehemence than
knowledge, that this doctrine of reci-
procity, as declared and applied, was
an abandonment of the policy of pro-
lection and an acceptance of the
tenets OF free trade. Nothing could
be more preposterous. There is not
the remotest suggestion of free trade
in it. 1t is fair trade, not free trade.
We admit free of duty into the Ameri-
can market the things we do not or
cannot produce, like tea and coffee,
or things which, like sugar, cannot be
produced in sufficient quantities to
supply the whole, and in return there
for secure reciprocal advantages in
the markets of the countries supply
ing these articles.
Reciprocity strikes down no Amer
lean industry, cripples no American
enterprise. Reciprocity antagonistic
W pFOIcCGlOu. TFOtecCIOB RuaFuS the
home market; reciprocity 1 caches out
to the foreign markets. Protection
establishes, builds up and maintains
American industries; reciprocity opens
a new outlet for the surplus products
of our farms and factories. Protec-
ton gives employment to American
labor; reciprocity enlarres the demand
for the fruits of that labor, thereby
insuring uninterrupted employment.
In a word, protection is defense, reci-
procity is conquest.
"Thsre Is, therefore, no abandon
ment of the doctrine OF protection,
but rather an increased demand for
its maintenance. Under the policy of
protection and reciprocity, coupled
with that other policy now happily
inaugurated OF building up our mer-
chant marine and establishing swift
and certain. mail communica .tions
with the South American republics,
there will be open to us a new market
for the surplus productions of our
farms and factories. We shall relight
the seas of the globe with the stars OF
our flag, and the American republic
will hold it's place in the van of march
ing empire"
