HowLING BEARS PREDICTION
Howiing bear, the old chief who made
such dire predictions some months ago
concerning the destruction of the east
ern and western portions of the United
States by earthquake, all of which was
to be done within ten years, is again to
The front with another prediction, but
this time he does not put the catastro-
phe off so long.
Within two years, he says, the people
of the whole country will be suffering
for food and there will be general
famine over the country when all the
people will be without corn or wheat
and the animals will die for want of
grass. He says that he has been told
by the Great Spirit to prepare for the
time when his people will be hungry,
and he is now advising them to lay up
stores OF corn in order TO be ready when
the famine comes.
Howling Bear is one of the Oldest
chieftains in the Territory and his in
fuence with the Indians is very great.
He has great record for q true proph-
ct and all his predictions in the past
have come true, hence the Indians are
now much worked up over what he says
and are trying to devise means to avert
the threatened disaster.
Howling Bear says that this summer
the crops will be big everywhere and
the people who have them will have so
much that they will waste the grain,
and then when the famine comes they
will suffer for their foolishness. He
says there will be much sickness and
death will visit many houses all over
the country with a swift disease which
will carry off hundreds of people. This
is taken to mean that there will be
epidemics of some kind which will kill
many people.

An Original Ida.

An Am, ricsn girl. evidently young
person of original thought, has been try
ing an experiment how to prevent the
appropriation of her umbrella. She had
Q new one made and mounted on an ivory
topped stick. Then she had the hesvy
piece of ivory carved into an excellent
counterpart of her own head and face.
No one looking at the Bit Of ivory work
for sn instant could mistake the likeness
between the owner and the head on the
handle Her friends predicted that the
beauty of the handle would only add to
the induce ment to steal,fo the head and
face were exceedingly beautiful, AMI the
shIewd young woman knew perfectly
well that thes were when she ordered il q.
But the strange p,rt of it was that ii
did not. For six years the owner has
carried that umbrella. through rain OF
shine. having a new cover put on when
Necessary, and only once has she missed
it. That time she left it standing in q
chop, and before she had made the
rounds o. the place polite floor>walker
had returned it to her with a smile.
Here is hint to anyone who wishes TO
be little different from everyone else

The DutN on StceI.


While the price on steel rails is $50 a
ton, the builders of houses and of ships are
still compelled to pay $50 ton for struc-
tural steel. Why should there be so
enormous q disparity of the prices of
these two commodities, when a steel beam
can be produced at the same mill with as
little cost as steel rsilI The answer TO
this question is found in an ubiquitous
and partial tariff system that imposes q
duty of SIS ton on structural iron and
S12 ton on steel rails.
1t is true that both these duties are
prohibitory in their operation. But
when the manufacturers of steel rails
shall undertake 10 raise the price to
$40 ton, as they did few years ago,
foreign rails will be imported to reduce
the scale in favor of consumers. On the
other hand, the manufacturers of steel
beams are enabled to despCil builders of
houses and ships with impunity. There
is no reason why the duties on struc-
tGrsl steel should not be reduced to the
Fate impo ed on steel rails. When this
shall have been done, the next step
should be to make another reduction of
duty, simultaneously with the removal of
iron ore TO the free list. Congressman
Springer has prepared b lis covering this
question, and they should be sent 10 the
senate as early as possible

Relief for the Enreigner.

The jug handled reciprocity treaty
with Nicaragua affords an example of
how these modern conventions untax
foreigners, while our own people go Oh
paying tribute.
When this treaty goes into effect the
United States government will have
made an agreement by which Nicarag-
uans may import untaxed horses and
cattle from this country, while it will
tax our own farmers thirty dollars a
head on horses and ten dollars a head on
cattle. 1t will make agricultural and
garden seeds free to the favored foreign.
ers and Will tax its own people 20 per
cent. 1t will provide free coal for the
foreigner, while it will exact seventy
FIVE cents Il ton from the citizen.
The Nicaraguan will have free wool
and lumber, while the citizen of the
United States will pay tax of from 10
per cent to $3.50 thousand feet.
The one will have free and the other
taxed agricultural implements. The one
will be able to fence his farm with I'M
taxed wire, while the other will be
obliged to pay tax on his fence wire of
from A. to more than 100 per cent.
The Nicaraguans will have untaxed
machinery. The people of the United
States must continue to pay bounty to
the producers of ore and to the makers
of pig and bar iron, on the lumber, on
the riyets and nails, and finally on the
finished product
These are a few of the incidents of a
treaty by means of which commerce is
to be increased through relief granted to
the people of foreign countries. The
protectionists have based their system
on enmity to foreign commerce, and
their pretended reciprocity treaties bear
strong testimony to the fact that thev
are at last moved by stress of hostile
public sentiment to mitigate the results
OF that enmity. Revenue reformers
would remove the shackles from COM
merce by relieving the people of the
United States; the reciprocity jusglers
shamefacedly confess their defeat bv I'M
taxing foreigners.
Therefore in this last treaty. as in those
that have gone before it, the burden
continues to rest on the people of this
country, while it is removed from the
people of Nicaragua.-New York World.

while seventeen mare erected or are
erecting timing plants only and intend
to buy their plates from the sheet iron
and steel manufacturers.
Those which are making their own
plates are nearly all also manufacturers
of galvanized sheet iron and steel, and
are members of the Galvanized Iron as
sociation. 1t was this association which
was chiefly interested in having the duty
on tin and terne plate advanced. Their
primary aim was twofold-Q) tG cause
an advance in the price of terne plate
used for roofing, and for this purpose
competing with their own galvanized
product, and (2) to extend the market
for their sheet iron and steel.
In respect to the first they have been
very successful, for the present high
price of terne plate has not only caused
an increased demand for galvanized
sheets, but has enabled them to advance
its price directly in the face of large
fall in the price of the raw material and
OF all other iron and steel products. The
concerns now making sheet iron and
steel which have erected or propose to
erect thinning plants are among the small
est of those engaged in sheet iron and
steel production. The large manufac-
turers of sheet iron and steel have
shown no inclination to engage in the
manufacture of tin plates. But they
will no doubt be ready to furnish plates
at their own prices to those who erect
timing plants.
Should the tin plate industry continue
In this course, it can never be estab-
hshed on an economic basis in this coun-
try. Not until the large producers of
sheet iron and steel erect cold rolling
and timing plants, SO as to be in a posi-
ton to carry the product through all the
stages of production from the pig iron,
or at least from the steel billets, is there
any prospect that tin plates can be made
here and sod in competition with the
product of Wales, even under the pres.
ent high duty.-New York Commercial

Failure of the Sugar Bounty.

The maple sugar vote" in New Eng
land is greatly dissatisfied with the
workings of the Mckinley law. That
measure removed the duty on imported
sugar, but offered the home producer a
bounty as compensation. But the new
system does not suit the Vermont own
ers of maple groves at all. They COM
plain that they are being ruined by the
pauper maple sugar of Canada. Con
gresham Powers drew this alarming
picture of the situation in speech de-
hvered III the house recently:
The maple sugar production of Yer
mont is about l5,OO0,O 100 pounds. The
production of Canada. just across the
line, Is 20.OOO,O00 But the possibilities
of production in Canada are perfectly
astounding; 100, 000, 900 pounds might be
produced there, and since this bounty
was given to the maple sugar producer
there have been ten carloads of maple
sugar imported into this country from
Canada where before there was but one

so desperate Is the situation of the
Nermonters that Mr.. Powers has intro
duced bill to restore the old duty and To
repeal the bounty. One of his objections
to the bounty system is that the red tape
necessary in order to get it compels the
producer to lose the early market on
maple sugar and forfeit more than two
cents Il pound if he undertakes to secure
the bounty. Nh. Powers declares thai
IF the old tariff upon sugar We're re-
stored, so as to keep foreign sugar gu.
and leave the market TO our own product.
then our maple sugar producers would
be vastly better off than they are
