HEARINGS ON THE TARIFF.
Tricks of Monopolistie Manufacturers IL

Tricks OF Monopolistic Manufacturers h
Favor of Protection.
The hearings before the ways and
means committee have familiar sound.
The manufacturer who is bene flied by
the tariff makes his speech; The manu-
facturer who isn't benefited by the
tariff asks for reduction of the tax on
the materials he uses, or stays away
lest he should only make things worse.
and neither the consumer nor the pro-
ductive system of the country as
| whole is likely to be called to memory.
except as an individual member of the
committee may chance to ask a ques-
| ton.
The speech of the manufacturer who
| wants all the tariff he has, and more,
1t possible, always informs the COM
mittee that the business he is carrying
on is new one. 1t may have been car
ried on for fifty or q hundred years, but
some feature of it is still new; it is in
| its infancy; when it is older it will get
! along without protection; indeed, it
| will make a price that foreigners can
not compete with, but just now it is
rather more dependent on protection
than it was ten, thirty or sixty years
| ago. -. The manufacturer who APP

will tell him all about the difference
between daily or weekly wages here
and in Europe. but he will not tell him
what the labor cost really is in his
product The department of labor has
had the utmost difficulty in getting
manufacturers to tell anything about
the cost of production, and in some no
J foh 1o oocac tho cnror;pfondonf nf the
census failed entirely to get informa-
ton that would have shown approx
mately the cost of production.
The information that has been OBJ
tanned from public and private agen-
cies shows some exaggerations in pop
ular statements of the differences be-
tween European and American wages;
they prove conclusively that the daily
or weekly wage affords no idea of the
cost of labor. and they go long way
towards justifying the generalization
that where the wages are the highest
the cost of production is the lowest
The truth is that it has been abund-
antly proved that the higher wages
in this country are offset in whole or
in part by the greater efficiency of
labor and the freer use of labor-saving
devices, while the higher cost of raw
materials cannot be offset in any such
way, and SO far as the cost of materials
can be reduced the manufacturer and
his operatives will participate in the
benefit. These conclusions are not
reached alone by statistical investiga-
tions, but by the testimony of such
manufacturers as have taken the
trouble to analyze their own expenses,
and have been willing to give the pub
lie some information about the costs
of production.-Journal of Commerce.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

UNLESS bees are put into perfectly
frost-proof place they had better be left
in the open air all winter.
BEES, when frightened by smoke or
drumming on the hive. fill themselves
with honey and will rarely fight
THE formation of new colonies should
generally be confined to the season
when the bees are accommodating honey.
Do NOT spoil nice white honey by
storing it away in dirty-looking boxes,
especially if it is to be sent to market
IT is best to begin in good season SO
as to be ready to winter the bees in as
good condition as possible.
COMMENCE in good season to gather
up and store away in as good condition
as possible all surplus combs and boxes.
IF a colony becomes queenless and it
is not desired to unite it with another,
give it frame of brood from another
colony containing brood in its first
stages.
In nearly all cases after the honey
season is over take away most of the
honey from the bees SO that they will
not rear SO many bees that will be con-
sumers only.
THE double hive is now used to mass
the bees for work and profit, and there
is no reason why the dou BILE hive should
not be doubled again, securing in this
way q greater economy of labor on the
part of the bees and the beekeeper.
ALL the boxes or frames containing
honey should be removed from the hive
as soon as completed. In this way the
boxes will not be soiled and the beau
tiful whiteness of the combs will be
preserved from the bees passing over it
EACH hive should have its own bot
tom board, and this board should be of
the same dimensions as the bottom of
the hive, except that it should pro iect
two inches on the entrance end. and in
that way serve as kind of porch or
alighting place for the bees.
In using the smoker the Judgment Of
the operator must determine the guam.
tity Of smoke, as in some cases more
viii be needed than in others. The
only rule i to use enough to keep the
bees under control from the start, al
the same time taking care not to make
80 dense smoke as 70 kill the bees. -

of scoring chute. Every horseman
will at once perceive the immense adj
vantage of this addition. Nine-tenths
of the accidental collisions on the old.
fashioned elliptical tracks occur while
rounding the first turn. The reason is
obvious. The word is given with per-
haps ten horses lined up across the
track. Before they get fairly settled in
their stride they are obliged to swing
to the left, like a platoon of soldiers.
1t is here that the utmost skill of the
most experienced drivers is frequently
insufficient to keep the horses from
breaking and swerving, and collision is
inevitable. With the track illustrated
the horses have nearly full quarter.
mile after receiving the word before
they are asked to negotiate the first
turn. BY the time it is reached the
field is more or less strung out and but
two or four are asked to make the turn
together, if that many. The turn is
short, and before the horse makes up
his mind to break he is around it and
sailing down a straight stretch with
victory ahead, if he trots fast enough.
The scoring chute can be made any
desired length. The horses are in the
care of the starter until the word 'tGo"
is given. From that instant they are
in the hands of the judges until the
finishing wire is reached and the
drivers have dismounted Every foot
of the track can be seen by the judges
and the spectators in the grand stand.
The timers are in line with both the
starter and the judges, also with the
quarter, half-mile and three-quarter
poles No flag is required at the three
quarter pole to enable them to catch
the time. If the Terre Raute track is,
on account of its shape, the fastest in
the country, what will it be with the
addition Of the str aight scoring chute?
The comparison has been made with
the elliptical track for the reason that
the kite track is already back num-
Der. That it is a good track for horses
to trot over is beyond question, but
they are so far away from the grand
stand SO large part of the journey
that people cannot see satisfactorily.
The idea of adding the straight scor-
ing chute is the product OK the brain of
w. c. Creveling, of st. Louis, we'll
known throughout the west as Glen"
Creveling, one of the best trotting
horse starters in the country. It was
while starting the horses at the late
Terre Haute meeting that he conceived
the idea of the ''chute," and all the
horsemen, as far as heard from. enter
tain a very high opinion of its useful
ness.-St. Louis Republic.

COLD WATER AND LONG LIFE.

An Eminent Physician Recommends the
Liberal Use of Aqua Pura.
DR.. E. H. Dalton says that although
to suggest the methodical use of cold
water as a beverage in the absence of
thirst as means of augmenting the
chance of longevity may render a man
liable to be dubbed a crank, if not a
1unatic, the idea has a soundly ply
Biological origin, and is we'll supported
by experience. Solid and dry as the
human body appears water consti-
tutes more than one-fourth of its bulk,
and all the functions of life are really
carried on in water bath. and al
though the sense of thirst may be
trusted to call for a draught of water
when required, the fluid can be inn
bibed most advantageously for many
reasons besides merely satisfying thirst.
In the latter stage of digestion, when
communion of the mass is incomplete,
it is much facilitated by moderate
draught of water, which disintegrates
and dissolves the contents of the stom-
ach, fitting it for emulgence and pre-
pairing it for assimilation. Hence the
habit of drinking water in moderate
quantities between meals contributes
to health, and indicates the fact that
those who visit health resorts for the
purpose of imbibing the waters of min
eral springs might profit by staying at
home and drinking more water and less
whisky. Water is the universal solv-
emit in nature and the chief agent in all
transformations of matter. When taken
into an empty stomach it soon begins
to pass out through the tissues by an
osmotic process into the circulation to
liuuefy effete solids whose excretion
from the system is thus facilitated.
Very few people think of the necessity
of washing the inside as well as the
outside of the body, and he who would
be perfectly healthy should be as care
full about the cleanliness of his stom'
ach as that of his skin.

The cheap brushes have the hair glued
in and win not stand water. Even the
stove brush should be of the best,

Overlooking the Sheep.

In feeding sheep more than perhaps
with any other class of stock kept
upon the farm it is important never to
overfeed The only safe rule is never
to feed ut any one time more than is
eaten up clean. as which too much is
given they will waste more or less of
it and muss over the remainder. With
grain give only what they will eat up
in few minutes. while good pasturage
should always be depended upon as
the principal rations or feed for sheep
especially during the growing season.
At the same time, under certain conGi-
tons, feeding some grain can readily
be made very profitable. With young
sheep. in many cases, it win secure q

crease the weight of the mutton be-

M'KINLEY ECONOMY.
Conflicting Statements OF the Apostle of
Protection.

Conflicting Statements OF the Apostle OF
Protection.
When Mckinley launched his huge
protection craft in 1890 he would have
it that dearness was the only good
American word. Cheap coats" said
he, make cheap men," Cheapness, he
assured us, was indissolubly linked
with nastiness.
When the people came to speak in
November after the launching of that
Inflated craft they did not seem to
agree with Mr. Mckinley about the
only American word. They intimated
pretty distinctly that in their opinion
cheapness was a tolerably good Ameri-
can word; that a cheap coat was pref
cradle to a dear one if it was just as
good, that a man was no cheaper if he
paid ten dollars for a coat than if he
paid twenty dollars for the same coat.
and that if a coat was clean it was not
nastier because it was cheap.
Finding that the doctrine of dearness
was not SO popular as they had sup
posed, Mckinley and his coeconomists
easily changed their tune in 1892 and
Justify sang the song of cheapnesS
From every stump their nelodious
voices rang out the praises of cheap
ness, and to McKinfeyism was given all
the glory. All their organs were at
tuned to cheapness and all the pipes
were decorated with protectionist
works of art conveying through the
eye the doctrine that the way to make
clothes cheap is to put high taxes on
them, and that Mckinley, glory be to
his name, had put on the high taxes
and made clothes cheap.
This new song did not affect the
people after the manner of the SIRENS
strain, as the elections last November
demonstrated. And now there is sad
lack of harmony in the Mckinley choir,
as there is apt to be in church choirs
during the wrangling intervals be-
tween renditions. Mr.. Mckinley can.
not even harmonic with himself. In
one part of his Akron peri ormance he
sings cheap, and in another he sings
dear. At one time he proclaims that
protection produces cheapness, and at
! another that free trade will produce
cheapness; in one place that cheapness
! is good, in another that it is bad, the
sound of the latter proclamation pre-
/ dominating, however. And SO of the
other mem bers of the high tariff aggre-
/ CATION of vocalists.
In the midst of all this discord who
! will arise and move about like Mr..
German in the senate and softly sound
the dulcet note of compromise? 1t may
be hard TO find basis of compromise
between the Mckinley who says that
high tariff makes things dear and that
dearness is good, and the alter ego Nc
Kinley who says that high tariff makes
things cheap and that cheapness is
good. But it is quite as easy as it is to
End a basis of compromise between the
defenders and he enemies of the old gold
, standard in the senate, and there YET
, may arise republican German with
his tuning fork to strike the note of q
seemingly impossible compromise
