The tremendous power OF pushing
root is q subject for marvel. 1t will
lift tons by the swelling Of its slender
trunk, or rend rocks with the power of
dynamite, but silently aud invisibly.
The pertinacity and force of plants is
occasionally shown in the great cities
in this wise. Some old residences have
vines many years old, climbing up their
weather beaten brown fronts. Their
roots are deep in the tiny front garden
plot, and their tendrils were at first
trained up slender cords to the iron bal.
comics on the first fioor These slender
green things twined in and out Of the
iron ratings Of the balcony like little SER
pents, till they reached the vertical wall
which, nothing daunted, they began to
climb.
Little by little the tender green stems
changed to hard woody tissues which
swelled into fiat plaits to accommodate
itself to the bars of the iron railing
through which it had woven itself. But
the accommodation was only formal,
for, swelling steadily, the vine trunks
appear to day to have become as large as
q mans arm and the iron rails which
were its earliest support, have been
broken in twain by their ungrateful de-
pendsnts.
Another singular example of the per-
tinacity of the roots is heard from a
neighboring State, A drain pipe seemed
to be choked. Investigation showed that
a threadliks shoot of tree root had
penetrated one Of the minute pores of the
clay pipe; once inside the drain the ten
drill found such luxurious nourishment
that it grew and divided into branches
which wound themselves in coil on coil
until finally passage in the drain was
completely choked up.
. II is said that bucketsfui Of tangled
flaments were taken out of this pipe,
which measured only eight inches in
diameter, while the skeins originated in
single threadlike filament, back through
which coursed the abundant nourishment
to push on the growth Of the maple tree
above ground.

The Infant Industry and the workingman.


The benefits of protection are sosne-
thing like the sea serpeut--they are al
ways somewhere else. The average pro-
tectionist believes that the tariff raises
wages. If you ask him how it raises his
wages he will reply that it does so in an
indirect way by improving the condition
of some other person. Now there is a
widely accepted principle to the effect
that the tail cannot wag the dog. If
the persons whose wages are directly
affected by the tariff very Greatly out
number those who have nothing to do
with tariff taxes, except to pay them,
they may set the standard for the whole
community; but if the direct protected
classes form an insignificant minority of
the total population it is clearly impos-
sible for them to fix the rate of wages
for the majority. 1t is Of the first i'm
portance, therefore, to know how many
people are engaged in producing the
things that are supposed to be protected
by the tariff as compared to the number
of people whom the tariff does not and
cannot affect except to their injury

Sue. Canal 5000 Years Ago.

The idea OF a canal along the present
route Of the great Suez was considered
practicable and excavations were actually
commenced upward of $500 years ago,
and in the time Of the reign of Ptoleiny
Philadelphus, a78 years before Christ,
the union Of the two soas was perfected.
The canal was small affair, of course,
compared with the present waterway,
but was sufficient for tho war galleys OF
the time. 1t is historical fact that

by that route, but was prevented by the

A CONVINCING ARGUMENT.
The Tariff Lesson at Homestead Must
Open the Eyes OF workingmen.


Open the Eyes OF Worllngmen.
The Homestead affair is the most pow
erful and convincing argument that can
he made TO disprove the assertion that
there is 40 relation whatever between
tariffs and wages. The Homestead ar
gument is so plain thds he who runs can
read and readily discover that the tariff
tax enables the manufacturer to receive
higher price for his product, .ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of paying high
wages to employees. Having had the
price Of his articles increased by legis-
lation, does the manufacturer sit down
to figure ont his excess Of profits by
reason of, this special legislation, and
then divide it with his workmen: No,
Of course not The manufacturer goes
into the market and employs his labor
at the lowest possible price. That price
is fixed by the law of supply and de
msnd and labor unions, without any re
gard to the tariff, and every employer
of labor in this country does the same
thing because it is good business man
agement. When men offer to work for
two dollars per day, what manufacturer
pays them three dollars because he is
receiving special benefits? The spectacle
of mass meeting of workingmen, such
as was held at the east front of the cap
itol, passing unanimously a set of reso-
lutions calling attention to the fact that
in the face of an increasing tariff tax
the wages of employees have been re-
duced so per cent, shows plainly that
many workingmen are opening their
eyes and ready TO condemn what they
heretofore accepted as blessing.-Co

Ben Harrison has evidently been look

satisfactory condition of the party ma

those who should be his party friends.
In conversation with Hon. w. Fl.
Enochs on the situation in Ohio, he said
he recognized Governor Foraker as q
brilliant, able man, for whom he enter
tanned only feelings of respect and the
warmest regard. He made similar re-

lively opposed his nomination"

"And So 1t Will Continue"

In their efforts to return that distin-
guished corporation attorney and ''polit-
ical" greaser, John G. Spooner, to the
United States senate, the Republicans of
Wisconsin are apparently determined to
Mexicanize that hitherto peaceful and
orderly commonwealth. Ever since
Spooner's involuntary retirement to pri-
vate life, little more than year ago,
the earth has been, in the opinion of the
average Wisconsin Republican, out of
its orbit. The wind has blown steadily
from the wrong direction and the sun
has failed to rise at the right point

come Porcelain Service.
Among the various admirable produc-
tions Of taste which the guests Of Baron
Rothschild never fail TO admire is mag
nificent service of porcelain OF singular
beauty, elegance OF shape and finish, and
remarkable for the artistic richness OF it's
paintings.
The way In which the baron became
possessed Of it is worth relating.
One day an old man, careworn, wrink-
led, feeble. and apparently tottering on
the verge Of the grave, presented himself
before Baron Rothschild, soliciting the
honor Of An interview with the famous
banker.
The old man was so aged, 20 poor, and
had altogether 80 detected an aspect, that
the baron was Immediately impressed
with q compassionate feeling toward
him, which feeling became one Of
lively interest on learning that he was .
Jew.
It 10 well known that the IsraeHtes are
very chsritsbly disposed toward all their
brethren. The aged visitor took from
his bag a rich aud beautiful plate, so
splendidly wrought that the baron ad-
mired 1t exceedingly and became greatly
delighted with 1t.
Sir" said the patriarch. "will you
buy this Of mef have the whole set,
and II has struck me that q service so
beautiful cannot find more fitting place
than in the mansion Of the prince Of
financiers.
at Is indeed very fine" said the baron.
"How much do you want for the SER
vice."
"Look you, said the old man, II am
bowed down with many years and have
| not long to live. ! am poor, and wish to
end my days in comparative comfort
Will you, in exchange for this valuable
set OF porcelain, give me an income for
life Of one hundred francs a month? II
is not much money for you and am so
old
The baron looked at the poor man. ex-
amined the plate again, and after few
minutes reflection said:
We'll, be it 30. Here is the first pay
ment Send me the service and give me
your name, that | may have it entered in
my treasurer's books.
! The splendid set of porcelain was de-
livered the same day 70 the baron, and
in a month afterward, while he was
seated IN the counting-hou a man en-
tered and asked for the second payment
| of the promised income. But the man
was young, scarcely thirty years Of age,
| Of vigorous constitution and great mus
cular development, and looked as if lie
would live for hundred years.
"But you are not the mani" exclaimed
the astonshed banker.
Excuse me, baron" said he, II am
indeed the man.
But you appeared at least eighty years
| old. said the baron.
"But. sir, am only thirty"
@In fact, thought your venerable
appearance did not belle your asser-
| ton
II have wonderfully recovered, thanks
to your generosity"
The baron laughed heartily and gave
orders for the payment Of the money,
exclaiminG,-
| "Ah, you are an excellent comedian,
and have taken me in thoroughly.
II Am probably the first who has done
so," answered the Jew, politely bowling
TO the millionaire.
| For several years Baron Rothschild
paid the monthly allowance, but then
this porcelain service is 80 exquisite that
he saw no reason to complain.
