Concluding Remarks.
yet, in the face Of this magnificent
triumph, 1t is now proposed to call halt
in the industrial march and turn the coll
umn backward over the deserted and dis
astrous pathway leading to free trade. The
command has already been given and con-
formation has taken possession of all our
people. The record of this single years dis
asters stands without parallel in the his
tory of our country. Fifteen thousand
five hundred and sixty business failures.
seventy-three railways, aggregating 3l,S1S
miles, and representing untold millions of
property. gone into the hands of receivers
and bankruptcy. Our mines and factories
are closed. smokeless chimneys stand like
monuments above the graves of dead in
dustres. while an army of the unemployed
are tramping the streets begging for bread.
"Yet the half has not been told. The
record of this years industrial and indi-
vidual suffering resulting from this pro-
posed legislation will never be made up 1t
exceeds the possibilities of human caicula-
ton. l implore you to abandon this suicidal
policy. Have you not pursued ii far enough
to become convinced of it's disastrous con-
sequences? 1t is no longer an experiment
it has become public crime. You have it
within your power to instantly relieve this
appalling situation. You have only to sub
stitute for the pending measure a Joint res
olution declaratory of your purpose to main
tain existing law in full force and effect
during the continuance of this administra-
ton, and business activity would instantly
take the place of business depression 1t
would arrest the slaughter Of our fiocks.
open our mines, relight the fires of our fur
naces, unchan the wheels of our indus
tries, start every spindle and loom, while
factory whistles and bells would call the
tramping, starving millions back from en- :
forced idleness to profitable employment.

THE WHY OF 1T.

WHITE spots appear on the nails be-
cause the vascular tissue underneath is
attached to the substance of the nail,
but from some accidental cause, such
rs blow, occasionally becomes separ-
lted.
THE day after heavy snowfall is
usually very clear because the snow in
falling brings down with it most Of
the dust and impurities Of the air and
leaves the atmosphere exceedingly
pure.
A CLOSED room is bad for sleeping,
because air once breathed parts with a
sixth of its oxygen and contains an
equivalent amount of carbonic acid gas;
air breathed six time will not support
life.
PIERCING the flesh with even the
finest needle hurts because the nerves
are so thickly matted just under the
skin that not even the finest point can
be introduced without wounding one or
more.
THE ears Of most defenseless animals
like the rabbit are turned backwards,
because these creatures are in con-
slant apprehension Of pursuit; hunting
animals have their ears turned for
ward.

IN the Third ward, have succumbed to

- In 1872 this city was visited by an

dreds of persons to their graves. 1t is
unusually fatal and those who survive
always lose some OF their faculties.

there WAS no occasion of alarm or fesr
of an epidemic of black fev4r. 1t is
not contagious disease, but as pie
caution he directed .that the patients
be isolated and the funerals Of any that
might die conducted privately.

They also excepted to the action Of the

the EXCEPTIONS and ordered that they

excepted to.
