As ONE OF the plainest and most COM
mon sense views OF the tariff question
and one that exI lains it in terms easily
understood by the average reader, the
following from the American Economist,
will I've read with interest:
ITO take the duty Oft things to whose
production our Country is not adapted
is u principle OF Protection. Duties on
such things are added to the price be-
cause they are revenue or Free-Trade
duties. Protection demands their aboli-
ton in order that the things may be
made cheaper"
Duties on things We can ourselves
produce are entirely different. To abol-
them would b. to create an enormously
increased demand on foreign markets,
which always RESULTS Ia a rise OF prices.
Even ii foreign manufactures found it
advantageous. as they have often done
to depress prices for II season till our
own industries were swamped, they
would recoup themselves aftrrward
when we were dependent upon then,
and at their mercy"
ITO make free thing not produced
in this country merely reduces its price
Without intiicting injury on any Ameri-
can interest. The removal OF Protec-
tive duty on a thing we do produce
would involve the destruction Of the
domestic industry, render useless per
haps millions of capital invested in it,
throw the labor employed into idlenes-
and narruw The farmers market for his
produce. 1t would beget such condi-
ton among all classes OF workers that
the question would not be at what
price can l buy? but, rather, how can
buy ut any price,
9Th. re is no analogy between reve-
nue. duty and a Protective duty.

1r has for some time been a query
with us, why the Government has not
given the people of the st. Joe and st.
Maries rivers better mail service. There
are boats running between this point
and those places twice week and We dc
not see why mail route could not he es-
tatlished direct to those points at little
cost to the Government, and OF inc,llcu-
liable value to the settlers. At the presei I
time the mail has to 60 to Spokane then, G
to Tesoa, thence To Chatcolet when i, Al
rives at that point it is thirty miles from
its destination and then has to be taken
by boat the remainder Of the distance.

mail for three weeks after it leaves this
Place and If the route was direct from
here, sixty miles would cover the entire
distance and the settler would receive
his mail the same day that it leaves thi.

EVERY YEAR.

The spring has less of brightness
Every year,
And the snow q ghastier wilderness
Every year:
Nor do summer flowers quicken,
Nor autumn fruitage thicken,
As they once did, for they sicken
Every year.
It grows darker, colder,
Every year;
As the heart and soul grow older
Every year,
I do not care for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less andless enhancing,
Every year.
OF the loves and sorrows blended,
Every year;
OF the charms Of friendship ended,
Every year;
OF the ties that still might bind me-
Until Time to Death resign me,
My infirmities remind me,
Every year.
All, how sad to look before us,
Every year;
While the clouds grow darker DER us,
Every year.
When the blossoms are all faded,
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
To the past go more dead faces
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places,
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the coming dusk they greet u.s.
And to come to them entreat US,
Every year.
'tYou are growing old" they tell us
Every year;
lyon are more alone" they tell us
Every year;
"You a win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow AMI detection,
Every year."
Yes! The shores of life are shifting,
Every year;
And we are seward drifting,
Every year;
Old places changing fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret US.
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher
Every year,
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year;
Earth's hold on US grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.

A Wonder of Science.

Ont of the most delicate surgical
operations ever performed in San Fran
cisco was that to which A. Baehm, q
patient at the City and County Hospital,
was subjected recently. The operation
was remarkable in that an e~ndoscope, or
small electric light, was used during the
process. This was thrust into the thorac-
ic cavity, and by its illumination the &C.
ton of the heart and lungs wa plainly
visible.
Baehm was afflicted with an abscess,
which had formed in the pleural cavity
and attacked the left lung. The opera
ton was an exceedingly dangerous one,
and in order not to shock the patient no
mention of the intention of the physicians
was made to him.
The sick mar was quickly ana sthet-
ICED and the inflated breast was exposed
to view. A discoloration on the left
side showed that the trouble lay under
the tissue in that direction, and DIR. FL
linWood began operations at once by
making two deep missions crosswise, from
which the blood spurted in streams.
Several Of the larger blood vessels were
necessarily cut, but these were quickly
ligatured with DIR. Stillman's ii assistance.
The flaps of flesh were laid to one side,
exposing the third rib to view. This rib
was resected for three inches, and when
it wa cut away a dark and bloody open
ing was revealed, through which the
tthoracic cavity and the space between
the lungs could be seen. DIR. Hirshfelder
inserted the endoscope through the open
ing in Baehm's breast and the light was
turned on, Illuminating the interior Of
the cavity with remarkable distinctness.
The heart worked slowly, owing to the
effect of ether. The aorta dilated and
fell with every heart beat. The lung
was also plainly visible. During tie n
hour aud a half consumed in making the
operation the action of the heart vas dis
tinctIy visible, and the unusual sight was
the subject of much comment upon the
part Of the operators and spectators.
When the process was completed and
everyvestlge Of pus removed, the endo-
scope was withdrawn, aud the opening
in Baehm's breast closed. The operation
was a highly successful one in every par
%ticular, and Baehms condition shows
that be is gaining strength.-Electricity.

Il win doubtless be q satisfaction to
the able-bodied men Of Germany to
know how the statisticians have figured
oat some results of the increase in efec-
~tiveness Of farms Of precision" In the
last war, it is stated, the number of SOL
diers killed in action was about two per
cent. Of those engaged. In the next it
will be greater, though not more than
hree per cent. that is to say, only
about 1900 out Of an army corps Of 3d.
900. Of the SAINT number about $500
will be wounded. It is well TO have
these things settled before hand. It is
the percentage Of this sort that increases
the percentage Of German euigrants to
this country.

There are perhaps more swine raised
in Kansas and Missouri than in any.other
ten States. Where corn is an abundant
crop hog raising is usually successful and
profitable. 1t is not uncommon to see
droves of from 1000 to 5000 head on
many of the farms in these localities, a
sight worth seeing, and one that few
have witnessed. Hogs also do well
where fruit is abundant; the State of
Michigan has many breeders of swine.
