1t is remarkable how in places which
we are pleased to think of as remote
but which are in fact no more remote
than our own location or than thousands
of others-the ideas of by-gone time
yet hold sway over the minds of the peo-
pie. 1t seems that in these places the
spirit of the age has not yet conquered
the superstitions of the soil. In popu-
lous county not far north of us, a man
dug a well which proved to be dry. He
consulted fake doctor, who heals with
herbs, and claims supernatural powers.
The doctor decided that a neighbOr of the
welldigger was the cause of the trouble.
This neighbor, he said, was wizard and
had a poisonous breath, and the well
would be dry until he was dead. This
incredible folly was received as due wis
dom by the man, and by dozen Others
in the community-all firm believers in
witchcraft, who have tabooed the alleged
wizard, and may do him some violence.
This may seem strange, but it is dupli-
Gated in the belief at least of many per-
sons right here in our own town. In view
of these facts, it would seem that instead
of sending money and men to enlighten
heathendom, we had better educate our
selves.

PENCIL POINTERS.

The Democratic Free Trade Bill goes
back to the antiquated procedure of gen.
erations ago. 1t is not only vicious in
principle, but it is awkward and ante
dated in its workings. The Mckinley
law provides for specific duties-that is
SO much pound, or other definite meas
ure that may be aseertained quickly and
readily by the customs officials. The
amount to be paid is thus honestly
known. The measure prepared by the
Democracy will provide for duties &C
cording to value. Such duties are cheat
and snare They are easily evaded and
they furnish abundant opportunity for
cheating and dishonesty. For example:
An importer sends to Germany for one
hundred yards of lace and pays a dollar
a yard for it at the factory. One hundred
yards at 81 a yard would cost 500. The
ad valorem duty on this lace is, say, for
illustration, 20 per centum. Twenty per
centum Of 800 is $50. Accordingly. if
the importer is an honest man he will pay
the United States customs officials the
sum of $40. But the importers are not
always honest. A very large proportion
of them are dishonest. This is a hard
statement but the truth of il has been
proved over and over again. 1t is sim
pie matter to cheat the government
when a duty is laid on value. The lace
costs 81 yard, remember. What does
the importer do? He asks the German
manufacturer to send him two invoices
One invoice comes by mail. 1t is correct
1t calls for $780, The importer pays the
German by this invoice. The second in
voice is fraudulent. It goes with the
goods. 1t reads: "One hundred yards
of lace at ten cents yard, total
80" Twenty per centum of $40 is
50. That's the sum of the duty By a
process called undervaluation the i'm
porter, with the help of his pal in Ger
many, cheats the United States Govern
ment out of $50. Millions have been
lost to the revenues of this country in
this way, and millions more will be lost
should the ruinous Democratice meas
ure became law.

1t was just ten years last Saturday
since the use of local time was abandon
ed, and standard time, based upon even
hours from the Greenwich meridian.
was adopted in the United States and
Canada. The railroad managers, after
discussing the question at frequent meet
ings, decided to adopt the standard time
system for the running of trains. 1t
proved to be an immense gain, in sim
plifying and making uniform the former
numerous and conflicting time tables
After the railways had once familiarized
the people with this new system. solar
time was generally abandoned in the
cities and towns, and the standard sys.
tenn of time keeping is now used almost
universally in this country, and has also
been adopted by many of the countries
of Europe.

Under the Wilson tariff bill as report
ed to the full Ways and Means Commit
tee, On Monday, wool, iron ore, coal,pork,
beef, mutton, lard, cotton seed oil, all
kinds of farm machinery, and many 9th
er products of lesser Importance are
placed on the sree list. The duty
on all farm products not admitted
free, are reduced very largely, the duties
changed from specific to ad valorem,
thus openinga a way for evasion of what
duty there is on the article. The general
character of the bill is a large increase
in the free list, and great reductions in
the duties that remain. All over the
country the measure is meeting with
condemnation from many Democrats as
well as Republicans, and it is certain
that tremendous protests will. go in
against the bill. Passed as it now stands
it would ruin the industries of the coun-
try and at the same time not provide
revenue to run the government. The bill
seems to be gotten up in the way things
are usually done by the Democracy, and
does no credit to the men that framed
it or to the party that is responsible for it.
