How It Is.

1t is safe to say that we owe all the
forces at our service to the sun. The
wind blows because some portions of
the atmosphere are more rarefied by
heat than others; rivers flow because
water raised by evaporation falls back
to earth as rain; and animals possess
strength because the chemistry of diges-
tion and absorption sets free and restores
the energy, derived by the plants and
other animals on which they feed, from
the air and soil and aid of the sun.

PUBLIC OPINION.

INCREASING TRADE UNDER RECIPROCITY
Cleveland Leader.
The immense practical value OF reclp-
rocity to all classes and particularly TO
the farmers of the United States becomes
more apparent every month as the sta-
tistics of foreign commerce show Its ef-
fects in widening the markets for Amer
lean products in every country with
which treaties of reciprocal trade have
been negotiated. The increase in our
exports to Cuba, for example, have been
very gratifying in the month since we
have had the advantage of lower duties
there, and while of the greatest impor-
tance to the agricultural interests is not
without value to manufacturers as we'll.
The German treaty, supplemented by
the earnest and able work OF the Agrl-
cultural Department under Secretary
Rusk, has greatly increased the market
for American grain in Germany. With
other treaty nations the growth of our
commerce has not been 50 rapid, but is
nevertheless highly gratifying.
In the case of Cuba, our breadstuffs
were not admitted at reduced rate of
duty until January l, 1892, though many
manufactured articles were accorded ad
vantages sooner. A proper comparison,
therefore, can only be made between the
first four months of 1892 with the cor
responding period of last year. Such a
comparison shows that the increase in
the sixteen leading articles of export
was 81, ,513, 900, or over 80per cent. The
total exports for last year were nearly
60 per cent greater than the total for the
four months of January, February,
March, and April of the current one.
Such figures speak in an eloquent way
of the value of Republican legislation
and Republican craftsmanship. In the
light of such facts the only significance
that is apparent in the free trade howl
about the "deadly policy" of reciprocity
would seem to lie in its effect on free
trade theories and their hope of success.
1t is blasting to them, sure enough, but
to American interests and American
prosperity it is the reverse of deadly
OF our Cuba exports during the four
months given, wheat, -four, and corn made
the greatest gain, being actually over
fivefold those of the corresponding Pc
riod last year, and $198,000 more in val
ne than for all last year. In other words.
in four months of reciprocity we sold
Cuba "a per cent more wheat and corn
than in a whole year before. Butter,
cheese, and refined petroleum show a
gain of over 80 per cept. In lard the
gain was nearly 40 per cent, in hams
$50 per cent, crude petroleum 135 per
cent, fruits and nuts 300 per cent, and
so on down the list.
Everyone understands what such
growing markets as this abroad means,
especially for our farmers. They relieve
the pressure of overproduction and tend
to secure better prices for farm products.
When extended to eight nations with an
aggregate population three times our
own, the gross gain is not easily calcu-
liable. The whole, indeed, is record of
unprecedented service, and upon it the
Republican party proudly appeals to
the country for support and renewed
lease of power. And they have no
reason to apprehend a refusal. The
American people are neither dull nor
ungrateful.

WHY THE DEMOCRACY IS WEAK.

VIII IhE DEMOChaS1 10 hhAh'
New York Times (Dem)
1t is idle to deny that the Democracy
as party, judged by its most recent rec
ord, is not so strong as it was two years
ago or as it ought to be. The fooling
with the project of free coinage, the
lack of unity, firmness and intelligence
in dealing with the reform of the tariff,
the wild extravaganza of the River and
Harbor bill, and the cowardice, or worse,
shown in the investigation of the known
misdoings of the present Administra-
tion, have unquestionably shaken the
confidence of the country in the party
In the nation, while the bad behavior of
of the party representatives in New
York State, where the party won the
most signal victory since 1882 and, on
its merits, the most signal since the war,
has gravely increased the misgivings
awakened by the course of affairs at
Washington.

HOW 1T FEELS TO BE SHOT.

Captain George L. Kilmer in the Popular Scien'
Monthly for June.
An infantry soldier at Gaines's Mill
who was hit in the knee by bullet and
ultimately died of the wound, said he
thought he had run against a standing
thistle.
When felt at all, bullets through the
flesh usually produce burning sensa-
tion more or less acute. When bones
are broken, stinging accompanies the
burning. .When bones are hit but not
broken, there is a numbing sensation in
the whole region involved in the shock,
followed very soon by severe and in
tense pain. When muscles and tendons
are involved, there is a tugging sensa-
tion, sometimes very slight, and shell
wounds produce feelings similar to those
by bullets, more or less exaggerated, ac-
cording to the size of the missile and the
degree of velocity. Bayonet wounds l
never saw except uron cOrpses-for l
was not a hospital attendant and as
for cannon balls, they do not, as a rule,
leave anything behind to exhibit feel
ings.
A musket ball at Antietam passed di-
rectly through General Joseph Hooker's
foot between the arch and the muscles
of the sole, the seat, as every one knows,
of very sensitive nerves. Had the gen
eral been in state of moderate repose,
the blow would have unnamed him,
for the moment at least. Intensely pre-
occupied as he was, he did not notice
the blow or the sensations that accom-
panied and followed it
In the charge of the Ninth corps on
the Confederate works east of Peters
burg, sergeant of the Fifty seventh
Massachusetts leaped upon the parapet,
and, with his cap in his left hand, his
musket in his right, stood cheering and
gesturing with his arms to incite his
comrades to come on. Suddenly shell
took his head off as completely as a knife
could have done, but the tall form con-
tinued erect for some seconds, the arms
still waving franticaIly, but with ever
lessening sweep and power, until the
forces of the body collapsed, when the
headless trunk toppled over to the

HIS RELUCTANCE EXPLAINED.
London Telegraph.
A well-known artist, who has hitherto
been a great enthuiast for the propaga-
ton of 'Art among the Masses" sends
us the following story, which leads him
to take rather gloomy view of the sit
uation. For the purpose of picture
on which he was engaged he required a
well kept donkey as model, and COM
missioned a friend to hire such an ami
NAL. A costermonger was found pos
sessed of one in every way suitable, and
was told that an artist would be glad to
paint the "moke" The owner looked
annoyed, even angry, at the request. La
ter he called at the gentleman's house,
and said, 81 understand you want to
paint my donkey" "Yes," replied the
artist, II should be very pleased if you
will allow me-" "Why," continued the
coster, "ain't he good enough color al
ready?" From painters point of view
the question was unanswerable, and set
the artist pondering on the great work
that still remains to be done in the art
ed ucation of the people.

At Perryville, on the Pennsylvania

like cruller climbed on board a south

tied up with shoestring, and an old
valise which looked as if it had been

He sat down on cross seat near the

oned to a train boy who was passing
with basket of sandwiches.
"GOt anything to eat, young feller?"
Sandwiches ham, chicken, tongue" !"
"Are they fraish?"
"Certainly."
There amt no certainty about it."

"How much do you ask for emf"

much for One?"
"Ten cents"
