Ammorits for Mine Work.

Further experiments made in English
~collieries with ammorite show that this
explosive possesses qualities rendering
it valuable for mine work. The sub
stance consists Of pure ammonium
nitrate and nitro-napthaline, both of
which substances are of themselves in
explosive, but intimately combined
form a powerful compound. 1t does not
explode by conclusion, is unaffected by
variations of temperature, and car be

Modification.

and this, too. in face of the vehement
democratic contention that this indus
try in the United States amounts to
nothing whatever as a competing eco
nomic force. Then, too, we read that
in some of the British industries wages
are declining and the condition of the
workingmen Is becoming desperate,
while the inspector-gcneral of bank
ruptcy, in his recently published re-
port, declares that the increase in
bankruptcy lis due to the effects Of the
Mckinley tariff law"
Conclusive as this testimony would
seem to be, there are other facts, re-
lating to the industrial situation ut
home, which are equally striking Is
corroborating the statistics from
abroad. One Of the latest evidences of
the beneficent effects of the Mckinley
law is furnished in the report of the
Massachusetts bureau of statistics of
labor. This bureau has always been
regarded as one of the most trust
worthy in the country, and its reports
have come to be accepted as indisputa-
BILE by all fair-minded men. The re-
port for 1891, which has just been pub
lished, shows that, comparing that
year with 1890, there was an increase
of 2.65 per cent. in the amount Of wages
paid during the year, the aggregate
paid being So, 1856, 945 greater in 1891
than in 1890. The largest increase was
in wooden goods, amounting to 7.1b
per cent. It is noteworthy that the
report of the United States finance
committee, which embraced the whole
country, made the increase In wooden
goods manufactures 100 per cent. The
Massachusetts statistics %strikingly
confirm the figures given by Commits
sioner Peck as to the improvement of
New York industries. A recent report
of the Indiana labor bureau bears sim
liar testimony touching the influence
of the Mckinley tariff upon wages and
production. The fact Is that all testi-
mony, from whatever quarter, is con-
current as to this point, and 1t is most
surprising that anyone should UNDER
take to deny facts so obvious and con-
elusive. No amount of special plead
ing or manipulation of statistics can
change the facts in the case. Protec-
ton Is everywhere stimulating our in
dustries, increasing the earnings of
workingmen, and a~ugmeuting our abil-
ity as q people to compete In many
forms OF production in the markets of
the world. It will be strange, indeed,
II the American people. exceptionally
prosperous as they are, and facing I'M
equaled opportunities for national de-
velopment, do not approve, by an over
whelming vote, the protective principle
which. in every test, has contributed so
immensely to the general comfort and
welfare.-Frank Leslie's Weekly.

tremendous rise in the Mississippi last year,
while the people on the east bank were
conRratulatinR themselves on the security
OF their levee, a big break occurred only a
few miles north Of New Orleans, and the
water rushed into the valley and over
flooded a portion Of country that had not
flooded for a quartsr-centnry. The
owner OF the plantation on which the
creyasse was made was at the -FOUR l mem
toned in an exciting game OF poker With
i've other planters. The play had been 60
ing against him all evening and when at
last he saw sparkling in his hand three
round, corpulent noes before the draw he
lifted the pot. pulled bis hat down over his
eye5 and in defiant tones inquired how
much company he would have.
Everybody stayed with him, and just as
he had discarded and picked up a couple of
black Fights a negro rushed breathlessly
into the room n shouted that the water

straw, a few sacks OF gravel and u cool head
to direct orerations. But that jack pot was
too absorbing. Each player held better
than two pair, and the indications were
that before the betting got around to tho
starter the roof would be raised and all the
blue would be scraped off the empyrean.
Not the least attention was paid to the
neg,o's warning. and before that jack pot
was settled, for the sheer reason that no.
body else had n thing left to bet, the
water had gained such Roadway that it was
impossible to check it's mad fury, and be-

players were flooded, and ever New Orleans

The Montana Shoe Company Is Now
Ready for u Big Business.
The benefits of the continuous and judi
cious use of advertising space in The INDE-
in calling the attention of the
public to a particular business has been
again exempli6ed in n striking manner.
For a long time the Montana Shoe com
pany occupied a neat. but rather a small
store. on Main st eet, near Raleigh d
Clarke's. The company handled only the
best grades of goods. and while this was a
great ca in its form, there were hundreds
of PEOPLE who did not know of the store.
Some time ago the company secu ed
a regular space in The INDEPENDENT
and kept 1t filed all the time with a neat
and attractive advertisement. In a little
while this began to tell. and finally the old
quarters became too cramped for the grow-
ing trade. An excellent location was Sc
cured in the store vacated bv Thomas Golf,
and workmen were kept busy for weeks
fixing it up. They finished a little while
ago and a few days ago Mes,rs. Clarke &
+! ank got settled in their new quartz 8. 1t
is one Of the hendsomest shoe sto es in this
section, and with the fine goods displayed
it would attract attention and patronage in
a large eastern city. The company is now
PREPARED not only to take care of its already
large trade, but also to look out for its
growth in the future.
