The New York Press gives the fol-
lowing figures: In 1883 imported
wire nails cost the American consum-
er $40 keg To-day he buys a better
quality of wire nails of domestic
manufacture for $1.90 a keg. In
1883 Americans paid sos per ton for
English wire rods. To-day domestic
wire rods of superior quality cost
$50 per ton. Ten years ago the
American farmer paid 10 cents a
pound for barb-wire for fences. Now
he get his barb-wire for "a cents a
pound. Yet the Democratic party
wants to destroy the protective sys-
TEN, which has cheapened these pro-
ducts by building up home industries
in which American workingmen get
more than twice as much wages as
the same class of labor gets abroad.

The delay of the Senate in passing
the repeal of the Sherman law is ex-
tremely unfortunate. The silver Sen
ators continue to talk against time,
it would seem for no honest purpose,
and Mr.. VOORHEES, is unwilling, or IN
able, to shut off debate, as he must
eventually do if he hopes to accom-
plish anything. The delay and the
complications that are threatening
the Senate are having their effect
upon the country, and not pleasing
effect either. 1t has been the public
opinion that the Senate would surely
vote for repeal that has developed a
better and more hopeful feeling, and
when this confidence is shaken old
conditions re-appear. Nor is this
all. The apparent determination of
the Democratic Ways and Means
committee to stab American indus
tries is more injurious in it's effect.

The Federal election laws were
enacted with the sole view of secur-
ing to every American citizen en-
dowed with the elective franchise the
right to cast his vote once, and only
once, and have it counted. This is
contrary to the doctrine of the DEM

front. Simple as can be. yet lots of your
friends will fuss over it for long time
before they get it into shape.
While you are furnishing amusement
with the more legitimate tricks you can
introduce one or two which are intended
in view of the conditions that are attached
TO the directions for their accomplishment,
to deceive and bewilder the person who
undertakes to do them. One of these is
called the water trick. Similar things
have been done by some of the minstrel
performers, who perform apparently diff
hculi things in this line and then expose
them as though by accident
The trick | will explain calls for two
glasses, one of which must have water in
1t. Put the one containing the water at
your left hand and cover it with a piece OF
cardboard. Beside it, at your right hand,
is an empty glass just like the hrst one in
shape and size. You now Invite some per-
son on your side of the table To make the
water glass appear on the right aud the
empty one on the left without touching or
moving either glass or allowing any one
else to do so. After they have given up
this problem, you hold your hands near
the glasses to show that the water is on the
left, and by simply passing around the
table and facing the glasses from that side
you have the water on your right This is
simple and easy. but it will cause a taugh.
Big bets have been won and lost on more
trivial tricks than this little one.

the bottom of the glass, was apparently
trying to pick il up without, however,
clutchlng it by the edge. The action was
a careless one, and the writer, thinking
that The glass conld be lif ed with the
thumb and one finger. tried it himself
BY holding the second finger praperly
across the top and the thumb almost half
way down the side of the glass. the little
feat. in spite of the smoothness OF the
surface operated upon, was accom-
plshed. The first man tried il again and
failed. A great many have tried 1t and
failed and have persisted in trying it over
and over again.
The trick is very easy of accomplish
ment. Instead of pressure and clutch, it
calls for nothing bnt a proper arrangement
of the fingers. The usual method EN-
ployed by those who try it is to press the
ball of the thumb against the side. bending
the thumb at the first joint and bending
the finger put upon the top in such a way
as tn suggest that the operator can find a
hitherto unsuspected notch in the glass
for the accommodation of his finger nail
When all this pressure fails. the man de-
clares that so polished an article cannot be
handled as desired with two fingers only.
There Is but one way, and 1t is an easy
way. to raise the glass. Put the ethumb
upon the side very lightly. Let that part
of the thumb directly under the first joiut
