Artificial india rubber from cotton seed
oil is one of the latest industrial products.
1t is claimed to possess commercial Adsp-
tstions of peculiar practical value. The
manufacture involves process not yet
given out to the public by the discoverer,
who states that while experimenting with
cotton seed oil to produce 9 varnish for
paintings he obtained a substance entirely
foreign in Its makeup and properties to
what was sought-not a varnish, but rub
Der. So simple is the process, ss alleged,
that It is not within the protection Of q
patent, the only safeguard being, there
fore, in the secrecy of the process, by the
use of which, 1t is asserted, only Is per
cent. is required of the genuine rubber to
produce an article " bich can IN no way be
distinguished from the ordinary crude
india rubber, It is said, even by experts In
the handling of the latter article. Ar
rsnsements have been made for Its extern
sive manufacture and its application TO
the various purposes so long peculiar to
the natural material.

with O clearnoss that makes them popular

This morning we publish a communica-
ton from Professor Ely IN which he al
vocates what We may call for want of \
better phrase cooperation Ia higher ell-
cation between the South and West. He
proposes that southern students should
take part of their collegiate education IN
one OF the great northwestern universities.
and that IN turn students from the North
and West should offend southern educa-
tional institutions. His advocacy Of reel

GINA had been organised and
conducted by the Republican party,
the results in that state would have
been very different. The ideas of the
Populists are too visionary and imprac-
ticable to be made the basis of political
organization. A canvass conducted in
Virginia upon the issues that prevailed
in Ohio would, in my Judgment, have
greatly changed the results in that
state. Aside from the memories of the
war, the economic principles of the
Republican party have great strength
Ill the Southern states, and when
ever the images of the war fade
away the people of those states will be
Influenced by the same ideas that pre-
vail III the Northern states The lead
ing cause of the enormous Republican
maJorities in Northern states | have
mentioned was the united protest OF
the unemployed against radical changes
of our tariff laws. Whatever theories
may be proposed, it may be regarded as
an axiom that the protective principle
is we'll established policy in the
United States. 1t has been recommend
ed by all the presidents from
washington to Harrison and
than Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
Jackson. This is and has been the
natural and instructive policy of new
nation with enormous undeveloped re-
sources. While the terms of our tariff
laws provided for revenue, their founda-
ton and background were to encourage
domestic manufactures and diversity
productions. The extent of protection
was limited to the want of revenue, but
the duties were uniformly so adjusted
as, while producing revenue, to encour-
age manufactures.
The Democratic platform In 1892 was

means just before the election an
nounced that the bill. whatever it might
be, would be presented to the committee
in vacation, reported the first day
of the new session with every
indication that it would be put
through with whip and spur. On this
account some manufacturers, who had
hoped the bill would have naturally
such delay as would enable them to
work their mills few months this win
ter, gave up the hope and are now
waiting the end.
Time and space would fail me to
enumerate the other details of sound
reasons for distrust, such as the repeal
proposed of the state bank tax an
nounced by the Southern members, and
strange to say supported by Democrat
from New Y ork in the open house; the
repeal of all federal supervision of
election laws, leaving the United States
at the mercy of the "banner win
ners' of Tammany and the bosses of
Brooklyn, with GraveSend to bring up
the rear. Nor did the country view with
complacency the revelations with re-
gard to the ambassador to Rome and
the first secretary of legation at Lon
don. Had either appointment been
buttressed up by any symptom of con-
spicuous fitness for the place, the peo-
pie might we'll have refused to believe
the charge made by the Democratic
journals that both were the results of
traffic. No wonder the Civil Service
league is beginning to be conscious of
spots on the sun.
All these things affected men, but
most of all the threatened attack on the
tariff. This affected all sorts and con-
ditions of men. When the mill stopped
the workmen stopped getting wages.
Whether the mill stopped OF not its di-
