The drinker having swallowed the con-

which gave shrill whistle and set the

The power of the blow and the length OF

RESTORATION OF THE VIKING SHIP.

through which rope passed confining
the rudder. A tiller, fastened to the up
per end Of this oar, enabled it to be
turned readily by changing the angle OF
the blade in the water.
The galley was fitted WITH one NOV
able mast, which stepped in a socket
sunk in beam at the bottom OF the ves-
sci. At the pardners the mast passed
through a lozenge shaped hole in a fish
shaped piece Of wood, where it was con-
fined by wedges. 49,.
The discovery Of this gallery was Of
importance to scholars, as well as to
artists and seamen. It's construction
illustrates many points in art, literature
and history affecting the ship. This
finely modelled craft was probably q

and stern, riding far above the wave,
made her resemble the fancied sea-
snake or dragoon, so much feared by the
sailors of the age.
It would indeed be great deed if the
veritable remains of the vessel, whose
lord may have at least ventured to
Britain in her, should be brought half
way round the globe to the inland lake
by the newest city of the western world,
probably first made known by an sd-
venturous comrade to the old Viking.
As we cannot possess the original, we are
fortunate, through the kindness of the
Norwegian Government, to be able to
have its exact fac simile, and to compare
her lines with the typical schooners of
the great fresh-water feet, and with the
graceful yachts from abroad.-Chicago

Counting the Money at Washington.

The counting of money in the vaults
of the United States Treasury at Wash
inqton is not so troublesome or tedious
a task as might be imagined. In count
ing twenty. dollar gold pieces experience
has shown them to be so uniform that
ONLY one pie is counted, and the rest OF
the money is stacked. and measured By
this pile, until the last pile is reached,
when that also is counted. In this way
the counting proceeds rapidly, Gold in
smaller denominations is always counted
or weighed. Silver is much more
troublesome to count than gold.-Chl'

Shaw is quoted as saying:
''Traverse our country from shore TO

OF American womanhood."
This question is answered by Plain-

MIR. Neal Means II.

Mr.. Mckinley wanted to know: Does
my opponent, Mr.. Neal, really seek to
destroy this beautiful system of mine
known as McKinleyism? Does he wish
to eliminate protection from tariff Can
he really mean it?
Mr.. Mckinley has his answer. Mr..
Neal does mean every word Of it, and he
is not at all afraid to say SO. He stands
squarely on the tariff plank of the Chi
cago platform, plank which he is un-
derstood to have sawed out and dressed
himself, and he does not skulk behind
any ifs or butts.
In his opening speech at Newark, Mr..
Neal said: "The greatest foe to the
prosperity of the people is Mckinley
ism. So long as the federal system of
protective taxation is continued we can
have no general and permanent prosper
ity in this country. To regain such
prosperity we must apply the ak to the
root of the evil and forever destroy the
Mckinley method of taxation" The
whole unconstitutional system under

to get revenue for public purposes, but
to enrich the few out of the earnings Of
the many, must be uprooted and cast out.
That is the Democratic platform. 1t
is Mr.. Meals platform. And it would
be good thing for the Democratic
party, because it would be a capital
thing for the country if every Demo-
cratic member of the ways and means
committee stood boldly and immovably
upon the same platform and rejected
with scorn and indignation every sug-
gestion looking to the continuance of a
system the precise like of which the SUI
preme court of the United StStes has de-
nounced as "none the less SJbbery be-
cause it is done under the forms of law
and is called taxation"
Mr.. Neal means radical war on this
system Of licensed spoliation, and he
will make things hot for Mckinley in
Ohio.

LAST DAYS OF paorecrIoMsM.
A Demon That shackles commeroe an,
Runs Counter to Progress.

A Demon That shackles commerce and
Runs Counter to Progress
The New York Press would Justify the
levying Of higher tariff duties today over
those imposed during the early days Of
the republic on the ground that cheaper
transportation rates on the sea compel
additional protection" Hearkento this:
at has often been urged that the du-
ties now in operation would never have
been sanctioned by the founders Of the
government, who in their first tariff law
imposed duties much lower. In truth,
the high cost of transportation 100 years
ago gave to American industry protec-
ton which was probably more effective
with low duties than is now obtained by
means of high duties"
That is to say. modern facilities for
trade between this and other countries
are harmful to Americans, and their per
nicious effects can only be avoided by
tariff obstruction which viii reduce the
advantages of fast steamships to the
level of those yielded by the sailing YES
sells of colonial days. If men are foolish
enough to devise wondrous machines to
traverse an ocean space in five or six
days, the spanning of which century
ago required as many weeks, how CRATE
full ought we to be for such men as Nc
Kinley, who can still maintain, in effect,
the good old era of long voyages and
high sea ratesl
According to The Press, 100 years Of
progress in ocean craft can easily be off
set by 60 or 80 per cent tariff. Canada
and Mexico being SO close to us geo
graphically must be separated from the
United States commercially by rela-
lively higher tariff than that which i'm
pedes trade with Europe and more re-
mote regions. Had The Press shown or
ainary political cunning, usual in such
cases, it would not have exposed SO con-
spicuously the real nature of protective
tariffs.
The demon Of protectionism does in
deed run counter to the genius of prog
ress, not alone in the perfection of transit
On the high seas, but in every avenue
where human invention has sought to
tighten burdens and promote happiness.
In some form protectionism has always
been on hand to reimpose the burdens
by shackling commerce and reserving
the benefits for chosen few. The Press
argument for protection" is consistent,
even if it be stupid one. 1t is thus
that manufacturers, instead of being left
to rely upon their own resources and
capital for success, have been schooled
in the superstition that it is part of the
business of government to donate public
money to private interests.
Actuated by the same fear of competi-
ton so zealously taught by the Repub-
lican party, workingmen may be found
fighting the introduction of labor saving
machiRery as they would the smallpox
and BY all manner of union" restraints
and penalties rendering each trade more
and more difficult ofacquirement by the
rising generation. These are the natur-
al consequences of Republican state So
cialism known as the protective tariff.

individual and the dedication of govern

An Impudent Pretense.

Of all the impudent pretenses made
before the ways and means committee
by Fall River manufacturer this was
the worst: "You have it in your power
to regulate the wages of our employees" ("

stoneT So good a protectionist as
James g. Blaine certified, when secre-
tary of state, that the labor cost in cot
ton manufactures in this country was
no higher than in England, owing to the
greater productiveness of our operatives.
But aside from this the Fall River mills
have reduced wages whenever they
dared and raised them only when they
must.
The supporters Of the Mckinley bill
had chance to regulate wages" when
an amendment to their bill was offered
making the increase in duty conditional
upon a corresponding increase inwages.
OF course they promptly voted it down.

Taxes and "spying.. !.

1t begins to be apparent that when the
question of increasing the revenues shall
be taken up in earnest graduated in
come tax will have strong support in
congress.
The World has already shown how well
this tax worked in producing revenue
during the war, and how highly it is
valued by the ablest financiers of Eu-
rope. It is a just tax. It burdens no
one. It is flexible in Its adaptation to
the varying needs of the treasury. It
taxes surplusage, not necessaries. 1t
takes toll Of luxury instead Of tithes of
poverty, as most taxes do.
The main objection raised to an income
tax is that "it necessitates an imperti-
nent scrutiny Of the private business Of
the citizen, and the spy system would
be an indispensable appendage of it."
But can this scrutiny and spying be
any sharper or more impertinent than
are required and practiced under the
tariff and the internal revenue systemf
Our customs laws treat all importers as
probable swindlers. They are required
to furnish the most detailed statement
Of che cost Of every article imported and
to brand 1t with the place Of its manu-
facture. The baggage and even the per-
SONS of returning travellers are subject
to lynx eyed scrutiny by inspectors.
Every distiller, brewer and Inanufac-
tureI Of tobacco must reveal the details
Of his "private business" with the ut
most particularly under heavy penalties
for false returns.
Could the collection Of an income tax
involve any more unpleasant features
than now exist in our revenue laws? An
equitable plan for increasing the revenue
will not be defeated by weak pleas like
this Of "spying. New York World.
