EASIER Than WORKING.

Clever Scamp in College Raises Money
in an Ingenious Way.
Let me tell you very strange true
story. Three years ago a young man in
the middle Of his sophomore year found
himself in debt to his landlady, to his
tailor, to the college and in fact to every
one of whom he could borrow or buy.
He had no parents on whom he could
call, and his future wasn't very roseate,
to say the least.
But he was a genius. He had come to
college to graduate and didn't intend to
drop out just because he lacked money.
There was plenty of unemployed capital
in the country, he was sure, and he was
equally sure he could get hold of some
of it, so this is what he did:
In some way he learned the names of
ten women in one of the small western
towns and wrote them the following
letter:
My DEAR Mrs. - Il am a student In
- college and am absolutely without a
cent. Unless receive aid shall be compelled
to abandon the ambition Of my life-to enter the
Christian ministry. am an orphan and am
solely dependent on myself.
VIII you kindly send me ten cents and mail
a copy of this letter to ten friends, numbering
each copper Please request them to do the
same, numbering their copies 3, and SO on,
stopping at number 10.
Ten cents is very little but ten dimes fnakea
dollar, and a hundred dollars would be truly a
godsend to me. Very truly yours,
GEORGE w. MARTIN.
He figured that about three or four in
the first ten would respond, and that
the same ratio would be kept up. Some
would be ignored, some would miscarry
and in some cases several copies would
be sent to the same person. 1t is easy
to count that if every letter and copy
brought in ten cents he would receive
millions. If four in the first ten re-
sponded he would still be millionaire.
The plot succeeded. He didn't re-
ceive million of course, but he did get
a very large sum of money. Not one
person in hundred would stop and fig
ure up the actual amount which the
thing would bring to the letter writer.
In some cases ministers read the letter
in the pulpit and recommended the
scheme to their congregation. The let
tiers which he received were studies. |
Some contained stamps, some dimes
wrapped in paper, some motherly old !
souls wrote long letters with volumes of |
good advice, and some more philan-
thropic people sent fifty cents, dollar,
and few even fve.-E. ]. Barnes in !

Why He Hurried.

Out in Iowa some years sgo number
Of men were engaged in the harvest
field. When a man is working for
wages on farm there is nothing more
delightful to him than a little fall Of
rain. 1t gives him a chance to stop
work and seek shelter. These harvest
ers broke for the barn. When the great
body of them arrived there they found
that one of their number had got there
ahead of them. He had fallen PROSTATE
upon the barn floor, entirely out of
breath. The foreman asked him why he
had run himself to death.
Good Lord" he replied, 81 was
afraid the rain would stop before / got
in. Washington Letter.

A GREAT TRADING CITY

The great cities OF the world, IN
every age of its history, have been
trading cities. Venice, London, New
York and Chicago were made by COM
merce. Vast manufacturing industries
have built up large towns like Bir-
mingham or Pittsburg, but never a
great influential city. Only as it pos
sesses advantages for handling and
levying commercial tribute upon the
resources of a vast area can a city adj
vance in power and greatness. The
greatest prizes in this world are reaped,
not by the producers of commodities,
but by those who trade them.
In a financial article in recent
number Of the New York Independent,
the writer says:
"There are two conditions necessary to
the building of great trading city land
cities that are not trading cities are dead
cities. These are first, large and re-
sourceful country to produce the neces-
saries Of life. the commodities of COM
merce, the luxuries of a growing civiiza-
ton, and second, natural site which
will enable the city TO secure the handling
and exchange of these things"
That a great city will be built at a
point combining these conditions is the
logical corollary of the above. No city
in the world has ever combined in
greater degree these advantages than
Fairhaven. Its Large and resourceful
country" producing the necessaries
commodities and iuxuries of commerce
is the occident and orient and the
islands of the Pacific. There is no
place in America" said James J. Hill
last September, "where nature has
done more to store the earth, both on
its surface and under its surface, with
the natural elements of wealth than
right here in Whatcom and Skagit
counties" With the Canadian Pacific
railroad already here; with the trans
continental line of the Great Northern
to be completed within year; with
the Northern and Union Pacific sure
to follow, and with the finest harbor on
Puget Sound, the nearest harbor to the
ocean that can be reached by rail
Fairhaven will have superior facilities
for the handling and exchange of the
commodities of the vast region Of the
earth's surface on both sides of the Pa
cific.
The oriental commerce has always
made the great city of the world. It
made Venice and it made London, and
built up the greatest corporation the
world has ever seen, the East India
company.
When Columbus discovered America
four hundred years ago he was not
seeking new continent, but new
and shorter route TO the Orient The
beginning of the realization of the
dream of Columbus came last year
when the Canadian Pacific put on its
line of Oriental steamers. This week
Tacoma celebrates the arrival of the
first of another line of steamers be-
tween the Orient and Puget sound.
When the Great Northern is completed
a third line will be established. The
commercial revolution divertng the
traffic of the Orient from the Suez
canal to the Straits of Fuca is now
being wrought, and when II shall have
been accomplished what point is more
adyantageously situated for controlling
this trade than Bellingham bay?

Only one Republican state convention
In the United States has made the re-
mote reference to that great Republican
measure which threatened at one time
by aid and influence Of President Har-
rison's administration TO become a law.
and which was known to the world as
the s'force bill" The measure seems to
be not only dead. but utterly forgotten.
Since its collapse none are so poor as to
do it reverence. As Mark Twain would
say, ut rs not only dead, but very
dead, (" and only in Pennsylvania, for the
purpose of making trouble for Senator
Quay, did few Republicans venture to
lay withered wreath upon its early
grave, and yet this dangerous, high
handed and oppressive measure, thor

partisan. lacked only few votes OF be-
coming q law of the land.

PRICE ONE CENT
WORK AND WAGES
sens Figures which Effscsuaily Dispose
Of FrnkncfinrAlein, Clnlnma


The recent report u Carroll d. Wright,
the national comm isSioncr Of labor. con-
tains some facts of interest bearing upon
the protectionist clam thst high duties
are levied ITO enable the people of the
United States to pay hisyh wa-cs."
The statistics of wages are taken from
HE pay rolls of ie5 textile aud class ts-
Adjustments In this country aud In Eu-
rope. From these it appears that worl.
ing on full time for six months each
employee in the establishments named
could have earned at the current wages
IN the northern district Of the United
States &I50, In the southern district of
the United States $109 and in Great
Britain &1O3. None OF the Mills ran the
full time, and the operators earned on an
average el.02 per day in the north. 695<
cents per day in the south and 90 cents
per day in England.
A digest Of the report further says:
The total average income of families
from all sources for different countries
for the number OF families for which
budgets were obtained in each country
was. for the cotton industry, e657. 70 in
the United States, &805.D4 I'm France,
eS0e.11 In Germany, e5S6.14 In Great
Britain and 1858. SO in Switzerland. In
the woolen industry the average family
income from all sources was e00B. 10 in
the United States, &4e4.51 in France,
k275. in Germany and &o15.84i In Great
Britain"
Now, IL the tariff regulates the wages,
IS the protectionists claim, the earnings
In this country in the same line of manu-
factures should be uniformly high. All
sections of the Union are under the be-
nign influence Of the same blessed tariff.
And yet the difference In the wages at
the north and at the south Is almost as
great as the difference between wages
at the north and in Great Britain. A
southern cotton spinner earns ON an
than an English spinner. The average
total earning capacity Of the southern
spinners for six months is only ak dol
lars more than that of the spinner under
free trade In England. The northern
spinners earn more because they do more
work than either in given time.
If this does not prove that skill, pro-
ductive capacity, the cost of living and
the supply of labor fix the wages, and
not tariffs, no demonstration could mako
that truth clear.
Another fact is that the wages and
earnings In free trade Great Britain are
far higher (notice the fgures) than in
protectionist Germany and France. The
conditions Of labor and of living are
nearly the same in these Old World
countries. Comparisons between them
are fair, as comparisons with this newer
country are not. And they prove that
wages are higher and earnings greater
in the free trade than In tho protection
ist countries similarly situated. Now
