Labor Costs.

The Iron Age is a thoroughly loyal ser
want OF the protected interests Of Pennsyl-
vania.
In its last issue it presents a table of
wages paid III the wire rod industry in
order to show that the operatives receive
very high pay.
In doing 50 it is forced to give the la
Dor costs in ton OF rods. 1t Is S1g5.
Wire rods are protected by duty of
siX-tenths of cent Il pound. This Is
Sl2 a ton, or more than SIX times as
much as the whole cost Of labor.
The duty is practically prohihitory
the importatiOns OF iron rods in 1892
valued at S92, 600 and OF steel rods at
G5, ,OUO.
On nearly every ton of wire rods pro-
duced in this country, therefore the
American consumers pay "a bounty Of
about SO above the whole cost of labor

The chief protection organ, says the
New York World, now says that high
tariff lis not at all intended to give one
set of workers especial advantages over
another" Its benign purpose Is to ''ln-
crease the demand for all labor, and 30
increase the pay which labor as a whole
can get "
This is shifting the ground again.
When the Mckinley bill was under
discussion its advocates urged that high
cr duties were needed in order that the
protected industries might pay the high
wages required by the needs and the
dignity of American workingmen.
When no increase in wages followed,
Mckinley told the voters of Rhode Is
land last spring that his tariff was not
intended to increase but to maintain
wages.
Now that wages have fallen and five
hundred strikes have occurred in protect
ed industries the organ Of McKinleyism
says that protection lis not at all in
tended to give one set of workers especial
advantages over others.
This will be interesting news to the
workers in protected industries who have
been told that high tariffs are adopted to
guard them against competition with
cheap labor abroad in the same line of
production.
Is it not the climax of abSurdity in
this wonderful system that duty of 10
per cent. on steel is necessary to enable
the bricklayer or the carpenter to get
high wages here, or that duty of 100
per cent. on glass and 70 per cent. on
woolens is required to enable the farm
hand or the 'lOngshOre man to prosper
Are not the favored manufacturers great
philanthropists to yield their fat freely
in campaign contributions solely to in
crease the general average of wages
What will be the next excuse for the
failure of the millionaire benefciaries of
the tariff to divide fairly with their
workmen the bountics secured to them
by the tariff

Condition OF Crops.

The report of the Department of Agri-
culture of the Pennsylvania weather bu-
reau for the last week shows that the
western part of the state has Jared pretty
well with regard to rainfall, which has
been normal. In the north west where
haymaking is not yet over, the rain hurt
the crop of hay. Corn is beginning to
tassel and has good color. Tobacco and
potatoes, whilo in good shape, needrain.
Rye and barley, which are ready fo1
harvest, promise good yield, as do near
ly all crops now. The crop of oats is
generally light. In the southern coun-
ties harvesting is about over.

How to Cure stammering.

Take full breath and talk very slow
Iy. The chief difficulty is with words
beginning with consonants, and any vio-
lent effort to force the words out only
increases the trouble. In order, then,
to get over the consonants form them
first. For example, take the word blan
ket, which to a stammerer is a verbal
pitfall. Begin by making the sound Of
''bl," then pause. Make it again and
follow it with the rest of the word,
"bl-anket." You will be surprised to
find how easy it is. Read aloud to your
self, stopping to take breath the moment
you begin to stammer, and working out
all words over which you have any diff
Guilty in the manner indicated. When
with people, as stammering is almost
purely a nervous failing, have some
thing in your hands to play with, as this
will help greatly. The cure is slow, but
absolutely sure. When you are by your
self, talk, working out each word over
which you have any difficulty. In talk.
ing to others, remember that stammer-
ing shows you are speaking too quickly.
VI you have not breath, or both.

How to Teach Horse to Change His Lead.
The rider should 30 train his horse
that he can make the animal in canter
lead with whichever foot the rider
chooses and change that lead at COM
mand. If it is desirable that the horse
should start off with his left leg, then
his head, by means of the curb, should
be turned slightly to the right. This
will naturally make him put his left
foot in front. Then in starting in the
canter the heel Of the rider should touch
the horse on the side opposite to that in
which the head is turned, or on the side
from which the lead is desired. While
the canter is in progress the lead can be
changed by going through the same OPP
Grafton. 1t is very restful to horse to
change his lead occasionally, and a care
full rider will see that his horse does not
get leg weary from too long continuing
to lead with the same foot. Horses do
this naturally, but it is best that the
rider should determine when the changes
should be made.

Chickenpox begins with more or less
fever and burning of the skin. The
eruption looks very much like that seen
in smallpox, only the pustules are round
instead of square. They are usually in
clusters of three or four close together.
Chickenpox is rarely dangerous, but it
is a very annoying disease from the in
tense itching. The whole body will be
quite red, the eruption dark, changing to
yellowish and watery and later to dark
brown scabs.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, May 23.-At 4:30
o'clock Saturday afternoon the factory of

heard some miles in the country. The
contents of the building flew high in the
air, and papers drifted off a mile or so
from the scene. Four dead bodies were
taken from the ruins: John l.. b. Ship

Traganza, forewoman of the factory; Miss
Maggie Capen, of Cottage Grove, Bloom

wounded. Their names are: George r.

Miss Rose Harvey, of Cottage Grove,

city. The other person in the building at
the time, George Sensoth, of Cottage
Grove. is undoubtedly still in the ruins.
The company made red and blue fire, and
it was not generally supposed that the
place was dangerous. They have been
running for eight years.
