HOW MUCH TIM
VIII They Call Him, Too. a Tin Plate
Liar?"

49, So "N "
Professor Claypole, of Buchtel Col
lege, Ohio, has written a report on the
famous Black Hills tin deposits which is
not calculated to cheer the hearts of the
protectionist wiseacres who look to the
Black Hills for a vindication of McKin-
ley's wisdom in putting a duty of four
cents a pound IN tin. Professor Clay
pole is an expert geologist.. After
making a careful personal investigation
of the deposits in question he reports
that "a sanguine estimate" might place
the proportion of tin ore in them lat 2
per cent, and probably in order to at
tain this some of the poorer mineral
must be excluded" This, he says, is
about the same percentage as the tin
mines in Cornwall (England) yield.
The result of this examination does
not bear out the ~extravagant claims
made for the Black Hills tin deposits.
All sorts Of c%xtravagant assertions have
been made about the richness of those
deposits 1t was reported last year, for
example, that "about April / a five
stamp mill was started on ore that is
said to have yielded 10 per cent. of tin
and eight tons of ore were crushed per
day."
April / was a very good day on which
to start this tariff industry. Its tin has
never been heard of in our markets.
We now import about 40, 600, 900
pounds of tin for use in the various in
dustries of the county. The tax on this
quantity after the Mckinley duty goes
into effect July /, 1898, will be 81 ,6O0,-
GOO. IF the tin plate enthusiasts should
ever realize their dream of supplying
the home market with American made
tin plate, an additional 25, 1000, 900 pounds
of pig tin will be needed every year,
making the annual duty then foot up q
round So, OOO, 600, not to mention the far
larger tax on the tin plate itself.
All the protection afforded bythis tax,
too, will be gobbled up by the English
companies which own or control the
few mines in California and South
Dakota. How do American voters like
the Mckinley plan of taxing them
selves for the benefit of English capital
lists?
Breakfast Should Be the Hearty Meal.
Our food is taken at the wrong time
and too hastily. The morning is the
time for u principal meal, not the
evening. Some years ago, during the
session of OIL annual conference, | was
the guest of a physician. He one day
remarked to me, You will live to be
100 years old if no accident befalls YOU
"Why do you think sol" | asked. BE
cause l notice that your principal meal
is your breakfast" This is true. | rise
from my nights repose hungry, and it is
the only time in the day when l have
that sensation. But" the reader will
say, II have no appetite in the morn
ing" will tell you why.
You rise in the morning, quickly dress
yourself, drop down at the table, swal-
low in haste a cup Of coffee, hurriedly
eat a hot roll, seize your hat and rush to
the cars or your place of business, drive
through your morning work, run into a
restaurant, swallow something that an
alligator would find it difficult to digest,
60 back to your study, counting room or
mart of trade, where you are driven by
the press and perplexities of business or

home faint and exhausted and sit down
to your 6 O'Clock dinner.
The same habit of hurry clings to you
at the meal, and you bolt a mass Of hot
meats and the usual ct ceteras and 60 to
bed and toss and turn and wrestle with
borrid shapes. Your digestive organs
are in no condition to receive that mass
Of matter. the business, the planning, the
brain work of the day has driven the
blood to the brain and lungs, thus check
ing the flow of the gastric dissolvents,
and now all night, instead of quiet rest,
nature has been at work to remove that
half digested las of material from the
stomach. Do you wonder that you have
no appetite in the morning? Now, the
stomach, rs well IS other organs, calls
for seasons of rest and recuperation or it
will fail in it's functional duties. Would
you have length Of daysa Change all
this. -Christian Advocate.
