The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1892-06-08


A novel and very remarkable in
dustry has recently been started in
New York. 1t is intended for the
convenience Of persons who have
friends in other cities in this country
or abroad to whom they may desire
to pay polite attentions. Suppose
that lady Of your acquaintance is at
present in Vienna and you wish to
send her bouquet. 1t is very easily
managed. You drop into certain
florists on Broadway and pick out
flowers suitable for your posy. With
in two hours the bouquet you have
selected is delivered to the intended
recipient. The florist has an agent
or correspondent in Vienna to whom
he cables the order, stating the num-
Der Of flowers of each kind, etc, and
the name Of the giver is written on a
card and attached to the bunch Of
blossoms before it is conveyed to the
address indicated. 1t Is the same
with other cities in Europe and
America. II your lady love is in San
Francisco you can send her bunch
Of violets or bouquet OF roses by
wire, as it were, within a few

Matching Teeth.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
dentists meet with is the matching OF
false teeth with the natural teeth Of
their customers. The tooth factories
supply dentists with rings upon which
are strung thin, short metal bars,
each carrying a tooth at its extremi-
ty. There are twenty-five of these
sample teeth, that run all the way
from nearly white to a shade that is
almost olive. Some one Of the twen-
ty five usually almost matches the
patients natural teeth, and, at any
rate, enables the dentist to match
the teeth by application at the factory.

Michigan and Minnesota. Troops from
all OF these States fought and repulsed
the famous assault. An open bronze
book surmounts the monument. It
weighs 1912 pounds and is SUPPORTED by
a pyramid OF cannon balls. The left
page bears a legend describing the as
sault and that on the right tells Of the
repulse. The whole rests on highly
polished plinth and base OF Maine and
Massachusetts, granite with massive
water table Of Gettysburg granite. The
dedication services excelled in interest
any that have yet taken place on the
famous battlefield.
In Memory of Paterson.
To DR.. Thomas Egleston is due most
Of the credit for the splendid monument
which was dedicated at Lenox in men,
DRY Of Gen. John Paterson. He is a
grandson Of that revolutionary hero
and, together with other members of his
family, has secured the erection Of a
fitting monument in the heart Of Lenox
and near the spot where the hero once
resided. The bronze presentment of
the General stands upon q granite shaft
on which is engraved the story Of his
active life, OF his school-ddys at Yale,
his work in the Provincial Congress OF
1774 and ITS and of his quick response
TO the call to arms after the battle Of
Lexington. 1t tells that he crossed the
Delaware with Washington, narrowly
escaping death at Saratoga, and was

Shafts to Their Memory.

Time is lending its halo as the years in
crease the perspective OF those troub-
lous times. times when troops OF heroes
undistinguished died, and we of later
generation are arising more and more TO
that worship, ever the incentive to
fresh love OF country. which later
generation showed for Washington, for
Wellington, for Butcher, or in the dim
mer past for an Arnold Winkelried. On
Decoration Day three monuments OF es-
pecial note were unveiled, and later in
the week another was dedicated on the
field Of the battle Of Gettysburg. All
Of these dwellings this year were made
occasions of note, occasions for the out
pouring OF q younger generations
gratitude and appreciation. At Rich
mond the men who fought under Gen.
A. p. Hill revealed the marble present
ment Of the Southern hero to the public
eye. At LeRox, Mass, the statue OF a
revolutionary hero, Gen. Paterson, was
unveiled, and at Rochester the denizens
Of that entire section OF the State
listened to what the orators of the day
said In praise OF the soldiers who fell in
the civil war. Then came the capstone
Of the weeks events, the dedication Of
the "High-Wate Mark" monument at
Gettysburg on the very spot where
Halls and Harrow's brigade attacked
Longstreet's column on July 3, 1868.

An Echo Among the Berps.

The echo from the steam whistle of
the Atlantic Transport Company's
steamer Montana, beyond a doubt,
saved the vessel from loss while plow-
ing her way across the Atlantic from
Swansea to Philadelphia, says the Rec
ord.
In dense fog the usual signals were
being blown to warn approaching ves-
sells, when Capt. Forsythe distinctly
heard the echo in the distance. This
conculsively proved in his mind that he
was in the midst of towering bergs, and
the helm was soon put down to clear
this great danger to every mariner. 1t
is believed that the Montana skinned

Hints on Hanging Pictures.

In hanging pictures, says the Wash
ington National Tribune, IL is to be re.
membered that although oil paintings
look better hung in the usual way, with
a sloping in from the top to the wall at
the bottom; yet. etchings and water
colors often look better hung flat against
the wall. A picture with shadows
should, if possible, have the light side
nearest the windows, so that the sha-
dows will fall in pairs, and although
often two pictures similar in size and
subject may find convenient places on
corresponding parts of the wall, yet
quite as often the stiff effect of pairs"
or companion pieces" takes away the
artistic value of both pieces. Paintings,
or any pictures should not be hung 80
high that it is uncomfortable to look at
them, but some pictures are of such
large design or brilliant color that they
look much better hung high up than
down lower. holdings are much bet
ter to hang pictures from than nails in
the wall, and are not very expensive to
mt IN.

Christ as a DlplOmat.

"Do you know that of all things that
are written in the New Testament all
that Christ himself said would make a
very few pages of ordinary print p"
said ex-senator Ingalls, to Kansas City
Star man. 81 have often thought His
sayings ought to be printed by them
selves. Christ was the greatest man
that has ever lived. Although all this
time has elapsed since His crucitixion His
followers now number millions, and
men would sacrifice their lives for their
faith in Him. Christ had also to deal
with political questions. ! think His
reply to the Pharisees when they sought
to trap him was very adroit.
"They asked him if it was lawful to
give tribute unto Caesar. He told them
to bring HIM penny. Whose image
and superscription is this?' He said.
'Casar's,' they answered. Then said
He, render unto Caesar the things
which are Cesar's, and unto God the
things that are Gods
'No more diplomatic answer could
have been made" continued Ingalls,.
Christ was really crucified on political
grounds. The Jews were afraid that he
would become their temporal king"

WHERE is THE OWNER
A Philadelphia Tenant Who Has Paid No
Rent for Years.

Rent for Years.
There is a man IN business on Arch
Street, and in the lower portion of that
important thoroughfare, where business
properties are very valuable, says the
Philadelphia Record, who, while he
does not own the building he occupies,
and has no friendly relations with the
person who does own it, has paid no rent
for eighteen years and has never been
asked'to do 80 during that long interval
of time. For the eighteen years In
question the business man has been
awaiting the appearance either of his
landlord or the latter's agent, and dur
ing that long period he has paid the
taxes on the building and kept it in
thorough repair. His business has
been most prosperous one and several
rivals have felt the sting of his ability
to sail much closer to the wind than
they do owing to his being relieved Of
the usual yoke of rent day.
1t Is not at all unlikely that the
property will become his by right of
undisputed possession at the expiration
of q years, and it is worth many thou
sands of dollars. Those who are con-
versant with the strange case have
come to the conclusion that the owner
has long since been dead and it is sup
posed that he was lost at sea. 1t is just
such case in real estate as not infre-
quently occurs in the business of large
and long-established saving banks
which accumulate funds that are never
called for by their owners or their

Tariff Notes.

In 1882 taking the three years ending
March 81 of that year, under a Demo-
cratic administration, the excess of the
exports of the United States over its
imports amounted in value to SOS, 1884,
379, or an annual average of $9,66l ,459.
In 1892, taking the three years ending
March 81 of that year, under a Repub-
lican administration, and year and a
half of that time under the present Re-
publican tariff, the excess of our ex-
ports over imports amounted in value to
$2S1, 1877 1861, or an annual average of
$93, 1872 ,456. This increase of $2S1, 1877
367 for the three years, and of $S4, 070,-
997 per year, was caused by Republican
protection.
Steel cotton ties, better than the i'm
ported, upon which the old duty was
50 per cent. (about $l1 tom, and the
new duty is $685. ton, are now selling
at $44.S0 ton of 2, 240 pounds. This is
lower than they ever before sold in this
country, either under low or no duty
According to the tarif-tax theory, they
would sell at $ll. 20 If the free cotton-tie
bill passed. That would be just about
81 less than the present abnormally low
price of Bessemer pig iron in London.
Where would the wages for turning the
pig iron into cotton ties come in?
Would the men have to work for moth
ing under free cotton-tie law?
Mr.. Holman has been driven to de-
clare "an increase in the revenues is in
dispensable if the expenditures are to
continue on the basis of the present
session." AS long ago as April, 1891,
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, Demo-
crat, foretold that the expenditures of
this Congress must inevitably be what
they have proved to be = namely,
greater than those of the "billion dol
lar Congress" And yet Mr.. Holman
and horde of his w-Democrats
came TO Washington bowling about the
extravaganza of the "billion-d ollar"
Congress, and vociferating for ere
trenchment and reform" They went
promptly to work to pass free wool
bill, free binding-twine bill, a free
cotton-tie bill and are talking of still
further measures to cut off tariff duties,
without the slightest regard to the
needs of the revenue The truth is now
disclosed TO the American people that
the whole programme has been one OF
buncombe and pretense and was not in
any particular a sincere project of legis-
lation. The Democrats must either adj
NIT that or that their legislators are
arrant fools.

Inning ration from Germany and Great
Britain Compared.

1t has been estimated by the free
trade advocates that Germany, with her
protective tariff, is furnishing more i'm
migrants to America, a protective coun-
try, than is free trade England, and the
question is asked, Why?
The proposition is not correctly stat
ed. The figures show exactly the con-
trary. During the year ending June
80, 1890, Germany sent to America alone
2,427 immigrants, while Great Britain,
not including Wales, sent l2S, $40. This
question was propounded by leading
advocate of tariff reform" to protec-
ZIONIST Republican during the debate in
Congress, to which no reply was given.
The reply might have easily been found
in the following statement:
A comparison OF the immigrants ar
irving in America from the two coun-
tries named above from 1915 to June so,
1890, is as follows: Great Britain, {, 235,
277 out of a population of 100000,
while from Germany there came 1904,
12S out of population of 10000, 900.
These figures speak for themselves.

A Tariff Question Answ.res.

If a protective tariff tends to lower prices of
protected articles why place duty on farm
products, now already so low in price?
The operation ola protective tariff on
manufactured articles must not be con-
fused with that of a protective duty on
farm products, although the principle
underlying the imposing of such duty
is the same in both cases. How is the
fall in price, which always follows the
protecting of manufactured commod-
ity, effected? Primarily through in
creased production and home competi-
ton, with the observation-disclosures work.
ing to lower cost of production. A lit
tie reflection, however, must convince
anyone that this cannot be the effect of
protective duties on farm products. In
the first place, such duties do not mate
rally increase production or COMPETE
ton, for of both there is already far too
much. Then, again, the cost of produc-
ing the farmers products is not appre-

Origin of the Alphabet.

The old notion that the Phmnicians
originated the alphabet proves to be
more than doubtful. The researches of
Edward CHASER seem to show quite
positively that letters were first used in
Arabia, where, perhaps nearly 5000
years, B. c., were developed several
related alphabets, from some of which
the so-called Ph9nician was descend
ed. Some of the inscriptions -proba-
bly, more than 1000 years old-upon
which this belief is based. have been

Welsh Manufacturers Coming to Amer

Those who are reluctant to believe
that tin plate can be made in the United
States will probably be astonished at
the statement of fact that Welsh manu-
featuring firms are coming to America
to establish tin plate factories. One
very extensive firm in Wales, +. More

property in Elizabeth, n. j., and be-
fore the frosts Of autumn come will be

The Welsh firm will not cease making
plates abroad, but will continue their
works there as the demand warrants.
The plant that they are proposing to
erect at Elizabethport will be for tin
ming purposes only, the black plates
being made in the foreign mill and
brought here for coating, the product
being both tin and terne plates. 1t is
the intention of +. Norwood & Co. to
begin the erection of very large works
as soon rs this plant is in successful OPP
Grafton. The larger enterprise will be
located somewhere in the West, and
will include a rolling mill as well as a

A short Tnriff sermon.

Free trade and poverty are Siamese
twins.
In free trade England there were
l ,3l7, l04 paupers, exclusive Of lunatics
and Migrants, in the year lS9O-9l.
They included persons of all ages.
There were 315, 457 under Is wears OF
age, or about three in every hundred of
the total population Of similar age.
Between l6 and go years, there were
59l, 796, or about four to every hundred
of same age.
Eight in each hundred of those be-
tween 30 and 50 years, or 81, SS9 in all,
are paupers.
Over 80 years, twenty-six out of every
hundred, or more than one in four, de-
pend on public charity, of whom the
total amounts to 343,962.
These are estimates made by General
Booth, Of the Salvation Army, in his re-
Gently issued book, "Pauperism, A
Picture"
While strength and health lasts, the
sturdy Briton, as rule, bears up some
how, no matter how low his wages,
against the burdens of his miserable
free trade existence.
But when old age draws near he is
forced to the poorhouse to eud his
days.
Here is Gen. Booths own pathetic
comments on the sad facts he sets
forth:
Old age fares hardly in our times.
Life runs more intensely than il did,
and the old tend to be thrown out.
The community gains by this, but the
old suffer.
They suffer beyond any measure of
actual incapacity, for the fact that man
is old is often III itself enough to deDar him
from obtaining work, and it is in vain he
makes pretenSe by dyeing his hair and
wearing false teeth.
1t will be sad day for America when
we experience such conditions here,
as we surely would under free trade.
