shown that the recent advance is yell main- tained. The field in which southern Irons can be distributed is much restricted on ac- count of low prices made by furnaces To- eated in the north and east. This Is felt but little at present., because the southern order books are well filled and but few fur- naces are in blast. It is not believed that the Alabama furnaces will relinquish their hold on the northern and eastern trade without severe struggle, although now it is monopolized by others.
 Most of the MRhoning and Shenango val ley furnaces are producing Bessemer, but the Douglass furnace at Sharpsville, Pa., and the Niagara furnace at Towawanda, N. Y., will continue making high grade foundry iron. In consequence of large supply of Bessemer quotations at Pittsburg are notably lower.
 Lake Superior charcoal irons are moving quite freely at Unprecedented low figures. Hinkle furnace will blow in on September 8, and will then have all grades for the mai leable and car wheel trade.
 Southern charcoals are in moderate de- mand only, and not much activity is an- ticpated until the car works resume.

THE Republican papers harp great deal on the additional tax put upon few arti- ces by the new tariff bill. They are doing their best to make the people discontented with 1t. But they are very careful not to call the attention of the people to the fact that while the new law increases the cost of few articles it lessens the cost of great many more. An additional tax has been put on sugar, whisky and cards, but the tax has been reduced on clothing, household utensils, and, in fact, all the necessaries of life. Therefore, he saves $10 now where he is taxed S1 additional.

THE principle of profit sharing is claimed by many to be the true solution of the dis agreement between capital and labor. The adoption of this principle results in better feeling between employer and employe. The latter feels an interest in the establish ment in which he is employed and does all he can to promote it's interests. It is to his interest that the profits be as great as possible, for he will get his share. But profit sharing implies sharing the losses as we'll as profits. There's the rub. Hardly any business makes 8 clear profit every year. The workingman must have enough to support himself and family. If this amount was guaranteed him then he might safely obligate himself to share losses as well as profits. This is the principle upon which the coal miners in the Birmingham district work. and it seems to act well.

AN esteemed exchange devoted to the interests of labor gives Spartacus, the Gladiator, as one of the irst labor leaders and patron saint of labor. But Sparta GUS was not workingman, unless he might be called butcher. In no respect was he a typical workingman, except that he rebelled against the tyranny and cor ruption of Rome. Such a man as Behja- min Franklin would fill the role of patron saint of labor more appropriately. He was printer, man of learning, a states man and benefactor to the human race.

enAll BULLET WOUNDS.
The Tssdiy Effects OF Modern Prejec:fles
Upon the Human Body.

The pssdly Effects Of Modern Projecsfles
Upon the Human Body.
Tho celebrated English surgeon, Pro-
fessor Victor Horsley, read very in
tcresting paper before the Royal insti-
tuition on the effect of modern small
projcctiles. In the course of his remarks
he said: "Some people seem to think
that small bullet at a very high speed
will pierce the tissues of the body with
out doing much general damage This,
however, is erroneous. The bullet hur-
ries forward with it particles of the
substance through which it is passing,
and thus practically becomes larger
projectile. If bullet be fired through
a book, il cuts out disks of increasing
diameter rs it traverses the pages
Hence, too, it is plain that the greater
the sectional area the greater the dam
age. As to the heating of the bullet. it
has certainly been much exaggerated,
and its effects, if indeed it has any,
may be safely neglected.
Tho physical constitution of body
has most important bearing upon the
behavior of ballet entering it. Why
does bullet of certain size and travel
ing at certain rate simply perforate
some substances, such as wood or iron.
while in Others, such as clay, brain,
ETC., Ii exercises bursting and disrup-
tive action? The answer is quite sim
pie; the destructive effects vary direct
ly as the yiscosity of the body.
This was established by some remark
able researches on the effects of bullets
ON soft tissues made by Huguier after
he had observed the results of the
wounds inflicted in the fighting in Paris
in 1sIs. He suggested, from observa-
tons made on certain dead organs. such
as lungs, that the reason of the grca,
lateral disturbance was that the tissues
contained water in large quantity, and
that the energy Of the moving projec.
tile being impaired TO the particles OF
water caused the dispersion of these in
q hydro-dynamic fashion.
This suggestion was shown TO be cor.
rect by Kocher in ls14-6. If shot be
fired through two tin canisters of equal
size, the one full of dry lint and the
other of wet, it Will simply perforatt
the former, bat cause the latter 70 burs,

safety Of the Republic.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat
takes up the pretext afforded certain
foreign critics based upon the crisis
developed in the lawlessness attend
ing the recent strike. to advance dis
NAL predictions Of the lack of stabil.
ity of the American republic. and
says:
IL never seems to occur to these
men who are so wise in their own
conccit that their melancholy proph-
ecies are being continually postponed
and discredited by the practical and
effective action of the American peo-
pie. The connections which are re o.
resented to he vitality dangerous in
variably subside in short time, and
each succeeding attempt to accom-
plish given results in an arbitrary
and Illegal way ends in ignominious
failure. This should surely be ac-
ceptcd rs n proof of the inherent
strength OF the republic, instead OF
being regarded as an evidence Of its
besetting weakness and its necessary
tendency toward decay and dissolu-
ton. The forms of disorder that an !
tagonize the interests of peace. safe
ty and prosperity from time to time
do not succeed. On the contrary
they always encounter kind of op-
position that arrests their progress
and defeats their purpose. The con
spirators against public tranquility.
and the security of life and property
proceed only so far, and then they
are resolutely stopped. and their
menace is turned to folly. They
make trouble and cause loss, but in
the end they never escape disap.
pointment and humiliation.
There is no justification for gloomy
prophecies where such q record ex.
lists. Tbs foreign critics who are so
fond of disparaging our institutions
and giving reasons why they cannot
endure may he sincere, but they are
clearly not willing to attach duo i'm
portancc to well known facts. They
are the same men who said that the
Union could not possibly saved; but
IL was saved, nevertheless. and is
now stronger than ever. 1t may be
that there are other severe trials in
sore for us. but there is no probable
ity Of more dangerous one than
that was. and therefore we need not
be frightened when tho collapse OF
the republic is predicted. Its
strength is not merely in its estab-
