cashier A vacancy having taken place in
the position of Auditor of Customs, Mr..
Phelps, with his usual wisdom, at once APP
pointed his trusted lieutenant, Mr.. Miller
to the position. This Office is one of the
most important at this port, as he has charge
Of all disbursements and accounts, many of
which are very difficult of adjustment. Mr..
Miller's record in this most important posi-
ton is one of which any man might well
feel proud, as he has served continuously
under all the Republican administrations
since 1868, and has collected and disbursed
many millions Of dollars without the loss of
one cent to the Government. In a social
and public way Mr.. Miller is q courteous

duced or the motives which prompted them,

Dispensing OH Board Ship.

Curious yarns are spun about the
method of dispensing followed by
divers captains on board ship. An
illiterate shipmastcr, having con-
suited his book Of medical instruc-
tions, found that strong dose from
number six bottle was the proper
remedy for sick sailor standing be-
fore him.
Number six, however, had been in
great request on the voyage, and not
Il drop remained. For moment the
amateur doctor was at loss. An
inspiration OPPORTUNITY caused his
corrugated brow to smoother. He
mixed together portions from bottles
number two and number four on the
strictly arithmetical principle that
two and four make six! Another
story tells equally against the sister
service. 1t is related that lieuten-
ant in command OF a gunboat deemed
the responsibility Of the charge of a
medicine-chest too great for him.
Immediately she was off soundings
the gallant officer mustered all hands,
and divided the contents of the chest
s;ually, so that each had "his whack
and ma MAR"
There is another naval yarn in this
connection well worth mentioning.
A man-of-war doctor, whose name is
unfortunately lost to posterity, had
a simple method OF locating mans
ailment and alternating it-save the
mark.-by drastic an infallible rem
edies.
He would tic piece Of tape around
the waist Of the complaining mariner,
and command him to declare whether
his pain existed above or below the
tape. II above, an emetic, and III
below, q dose of salts, followed as a
matter of course.

A Letter from n Mckinley Democrat.

Several days ago Gov. Mckinley re-
ceived a pocket-knife, the first one
made by the Cattara lgus Cutlery Com
pany, of Little Falls, New York. The
factory in one of the products of the
Mckinley law. With the knife came
the following letter:
voted the Democratic ticket for nearly
thirty years, but a drive through New
England in the year 1890, past idle cutlery
factories in Bridgeport, Naugatuck, Union
City and T0rringtOn, together with the
nearly, paralyzed industries Of Lakevile,
NOrthfeld, ThOmaston and Shelburne
Falls, convince me of the error OF my
ways.
l found old friends, who were good me-
chanics in our line, driven by the cheap
Dutch knives, which were on sale in every
city and hamlet through which | passed,
out of profitable employ ment, and seeking
work as common laborers, ditch dlggers
and coal beavers. Grass grew around
many of the doors of factories.
Passing through the towns, l heard Bill
Mckinley and the Mckinley bill talked of
on every side. l was first convicted, then
converted, and, like Saul of Tsrsus, the
scales fell from my eyes and l saw the
parties cOntending over American indus
tries in their true light.
Thanks to your efforts, the Mckinley
law was enacted, and hard times in our
line OF industry are past. Trade is good,
wages are good, our little town has nearly
doubled It's population in two years, and
we believe 1t will double again in two years
more
Hoping in the near future to address you
at the Executive Mansion, Washington, ID.
g., instead of Columbus, o., we remain,
yours sincerely, j. b. +. CuAMpLIN.

MORE TARIFF QUESTIONS,
AND SOME STRAIGHTFORWARD
ANSWERS.
The Progress OF Beet sugar-Farms In
creasing I'm Value stopping with Hair
the story-An Interesting Letter from
Mckinley Democrat.
Tariff oues,ions Answered..

Question No. 81. How long should a protec-
i've uuIy on an article be retained?
Forever. 1t finally abolishes itself,
and as IL then harms no one, it should
be retained to guard against future ext
gencies and future dangers. Is anyone
injured by the duty of 2 cents per
pound on wire nails, now selling at IT
cents per pound, or bv the duty of 5
cents yard on calico, which can be
bought for cents yard? No. Why
then abolish them? They secure our
markets 80 that they cannot be over
whelmed by the possible overproduc-
non OF foreign countries, and therefore
serve good purpose.
Question No. % Under free trade, would n
workingman be able to buy in the cheap pest
market anu at the same time sell in the dearest
market?
No. Our own market would be de-
stroyed and he would have no place to
sell the products of his labor, and by
the time he would want to start buying
In the so-called cheapest" market, he
would find himself without the money
with which to buy. Practically and in
the honest sense Of the word, that mar
ket is the cheapest in which given
amount of labor will purchase the most
commodities.
Question No. 49, Will restricted import atoms
result In restricted expectations?
No. Experience has shown that the
volume of imports has nothing at all to
do with the volume of exports. Wit
ness the following table.

Farms Increasing In Value.

A short time ago the Hon. II. q. Horr
gave his observations concerning the in
crease in the value of farms In various
parts of the country to the New York
Tribune, and here is what he saws
Within the last eight months / have
travelled extensively through the states OF
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kan
sas and Nebraska. In conversation with
hundreds of farmers and business men in
each one of these states. l have learned
that the verdict is nearly unanimous that
land has been increasing in value steadily
for nearly two years past.
In Kansas / have visited twenty coun-
ties. The people / met have assured me
that land will to-day bring from So to IS
more Der acre than IL would two years ago.
The statements made in Nebraska have
been to the same effect In Iowa the i'm
proyement in price Is placed still higher.
In the vicinity OF Atlantic City was as
sured by trustworthy men that farming
lands are fully SIS an acre higher than
they were in 1889, and that sales are much
more readily made, at tina advanced
prices. than they were two years ago at the
very low prices of that date.

Progress of Beet Sugar.

Henry +. Oxnard, who Is largely in
terested in the manufacture of beet
sugar at Grand Island, Neb., and in
California, thinks the sugar beet culture
can be extended in this country until
we produce all our own sugar. The
sugar bounty will make this result
probable in very few years, but remove
the bounty, and success can never be
accomplished. Germany ana France
have extended and continue to extend
direct governmental assistance to their
sugar producers and exporters, and
with no sugar tariff 10 protectit, Ameri-
can sugar beet culture would be an i'm
possibility without the bounty.
Great advances have been made in
improving the quality Of the beet,
and there remain great possibilities of
further advance. But even under
present cond itions, sugar beets are
about the most profitable crop farmers
can raise. Col. Cotton, of Norfolk,
Neb., made 1925 net profit from five
acres of sugar beets in 1891, whereas
the same ground under corn the year
before netted him only $50. Yankee
energy has set itself, not only TO inn
proving the beet, but also to improving
the machinery used in the industry.
