AMUSING TARIFF PICTURES.
High Duties on Wool Are Wolves in
ShRRn'S pfhIn

High Duties on Wool Are Wolves in
Sleeps Clothing.
1t Will be n sorry day for the writer's
Of tariff reform literature when the
New York Press ceases to publish the
tariff pictures which have for several
years furnished amusement to all but
protcctiouistS At least two-thirds of
the pictures are give aways" and sug-
gest arguments for tariff reform, if
they do not at once supply them, Here
is the Press tariff picture OF February
Il, 1898;
In 1850, at the close Of the free trade
period, this country had 22,41t,2,5
sheep In 1898, under the Mckinley
law, the number OF sheep is placed at
4T.27S,5
Of course this is intended to show the
good effects Of protection to the sheep
industry. Does it do so? In 1860 our
population was 8t,443, SCI; in 1SgO it was
52,62a, $50 In 1890 the number of sheep,
according 10 agricultural reports. was
44,SS6,s52 Thus the number of sheen
was not quite keeping pace with popu.
lation. by 1891 the number Of sheep
had declined TO 1881, 1856 In 1892 it
had risen to 44,9SS, sos. If it is now A.
21S,55S the sheep are no more than
holding their own with population.
though population is handicapped bv
the heavy taxes levied upon it to help
the sheep
But by looking back of this tariff
picture we will discover the real cause
OF the increases that have occurred. In
the first place, heavy duties were not
put on wool until 1851. From 1851 to
1864 duties We're from ) to Is per cent,
and from 1854 to 1861 from - to 50 per
Since then they have been from
40 to 60 per cent Now the Number of
sheep in 1867 had increased to 80. 3S5.3SG |
Two-thirds of the total increase in
~thirty.three years then occurred during
the first seven years when duties on
wool were less than half what they
have since averaged. Then from ls6,
ISL, when wool duties were higher
they Were before or have been
since, the number OF Sheep declined to
81, so4, 20l That is, at the end Of ten
years Of extremely high protection
there were fewer sheep than at the be.
But this is not all. There has been a
1eavy decline in the number Of sheep
the eight old w~ool-growing states
hat secured the passage of the high
iuties on woods, and the increases have
been confined to the ranches of the ter.
In 1851 there were 24.S7T,22 =.
'heep in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
New York, Indiana, Wisconsin and
iowa. In 1891 there were only Il. O21.-
$50 sheep in these states. Wonderful
protection" this,
Still another fact is necessary to the
appreciation of the Press primer
essen. The increase in the number of
heep has been mainly due to the in.
reasing demand for mutton. Thus the
.grieultural report of 1892 explains the
light increases. in all cases but one,
" phrases like this: "rhe mutton
reeds are the most popular and profit.
OF course prices Of wool have declined
under high duties. A compare.

THE HAwAIIAN ISLANDS.


1 a INAll
II New Novel.
Kollo Head having come into view
the passengers eagerly gazed at it. AS
the Hawaiian islands are of volcanic
creation, the shore line at many points
is rocky, jagged truncated, 1t was SO
1t Koko Head. But as the teamer
neared Honolulu the scenery became
picturesque. Diamond Head, an eX'
tinct volcano, like a crouehing lion at
the southeastern end of the bay, was
next seen, with its yellow top and its
madderish sides sloping to the water,
and then in the distance a range OF
lofty peaks thrown up from the sea by
some long ago %stupendous telluric
spasm.
Then a panorama was presented OF
sufficient beauty, color, form and low
city to please the fancy of the most eN-
acting and inveterate traveller. First
came of dark pines, sentinel
palms, cocoanut, date, orange and tig
trees, magnolias and n wonderful va
riety of verdancy, with villas and cot
tages runningdown to a sandy, crescent
shaped beach, upon which the green
water of the bay, plunging over coral
reefs, breaks in silvery spray, while in
the background, to rest the eye, loom
mountains whose conical tops were
partly yelled invapor, and whose slopes
were velvety with a mass of greens,
emerald, apple, Nile and bottle. Some
passengers called the place Waikiki.
Then came II city dazzling to the
eyes in its midsummer beauty, with
American and British warships riding
ut anchor in its harbor, while steamers
and all kinds of sailing vessels were
moored at its wharves. The city looked
languorous, dreamy; Moorish,
French, but suggesting something of
all, revealing a bit of New Orleans here,
a part of Grenada, there, and a resem-
to Bordeaux elsewhere; its
church spires and towers glistening in
sunshine, its lloani palace, a beau
.iful mass of gray amid a bower of
rreen, This was Honolulu. In the
background, like impregnable ram
parts, stood the Punch Bowl, an extinct
'%olcano, and further on the Koolan
partly in sunshine and part
y in shadow; their slopes at irregular
intervals patched with browns and ter
a cottas, and all the rest parti-colored
'erdure; and over all a deep blue sky, a
beautiful rainbow and a tropic sun.
Canoes swarmed around the steam
II, skillfully propelled by paddles in
hands of well-built, dusky-looking
whose movements and pre-
were the poetry of grace. Near
he coral reefs natives were fishing,
while close inshore twenty or thirty
ads of a rich brown color were bath
ng, diving and swimming in the glis-
surf. '--Detroit Free Press.

Why Life Insurance Is Specially
Valuable in Hard Times.

Hard times strike the commercial
world periodically. The seven fatyears
are followed by the seven lean years,
and this will continue to the end of all
things financial. Meanwhile it is we'll
to consider the value of Life Insurance,
the duty of securing the safest insur-
ance, and that is offered by The Security
Fund Life Association of Minneapolis,
Mimi, whose rates are lower than under
any other system. Cost is less than so
per cent of usual rates. Half the policy
paid in case of Blindness or Permanent
Disability. All policies fully guaran-
teed, definite premium rates, no devia-
ton fixed for first five years. All poll
cieS non-forfeitable after first five years:
it is confidentially expected that they
they will become self-sustainiug there
after. All policies incontestible, except
as to misstatement of age. No personal
liability for policy holders. No restric-
ton as to travel, occupation or residence.
Purely mutual plan; no stockholders
to be paid, or to absorb profits. No limit
to dividends, as there are ten sources of
derivation.
Every man of sagacity is looking to
better his condition. Banks may break
through heavy run upon them. This
company can never fail because such

a RUN ON A GROCERY.
Queer Outcome Of a Panic at q
Hh;ngle Mill.


>h;ngle Mill.
Puget Sound Lumberman.
There was run" up at the little
town of Hamilton, WASH, last month,
that ought to find its way into literature
devoted to queer things.
Now, the ordinary run" is generally
confined to banks, and is associated
with long line of frantic people and a
bank president with pallid features,
agltated nerves. and forced smile.
The run" in question was on q
grocery store belonging to the Wash
lngton Red Ceder Single company. a
run" on grocery store is about the
funniest thing-for the prOperitOr-that
can happen.
The filler OF the mill ON the morning
of tins ruth" to use local phrase,
jumped his yob." and wanted his
cash before pay day, contrary to the
rules and regulations made and pro-
vided.
The mill owners, making up their
minds to discourage this habit OF their
men leaving them in lurch, refused to
pay the dtsconSOlate filler until pay day.
The filer thereupon filed all attach
ment on the shingles of the company,
looking into the situation local creditors
and mill hands commenced run"
on the company's grocery store, with
the object of taking out their wages
and debts in lard, dried apples. syrup.
tobacco, chOw-choW, bacon, and other
necesSarieS of life.
The clerk, who had been doing be-
hind the counter, jumped four feet i'll
air when the door opened and half
dozen DraWny, Wild-eyed Shingle WeaVers
appeared. bringing up the rear W as a
crowd Of lab0rerS, all clamoring for
groceries.
Soon it became apparent that the clerk
could not lie up the packages fast
enough, and he told the crowd to help
themselves, while he checked up the
goods.
When Manager Boardman returned
in the evening from the woods, whittier
he had gone after supply of logs, the
clerk was lying exhausted across the
empty pickle barrel. and the store had
appearance of the last act of a cyclone,
When the clerk recovered lie informed
Boardnan OF the run" and Boardman
laughed long and loud.
While he was surveying the wreck in
came drummer for Seattle grocery
house. and mildly inquired if anything
was wanted. Boardman looked QueerIy
at the drummer, laughed, and pointed
to the empty shelves.
The drummer knew his business, and
that night lie carried the largest order
of the month to Seattle. Before morn
ing Boardman had discharged all liens,
and the mil WAS started up as usual.
