ALUMINIUM IN THE ARMY.
War Department Experimenting with It
for Light Equipment.

for Light Equipment.
WAsmNeroY, Sept. 22.-War depart
ment officials of the ordinances bureau
are giving attention to the properties
of aluminium. This metal promises TO
be n of the most important materials
In the equipment of modern armies.
Already the German armies, which arc
among the first to accept improvements.
have adopted aluminium for a variety
Of uses. The war department is in a
measure following the lead of the navy
in giving attention TO the new metal.
1t is in the line of small equipments
that the army is expected to utilize the
metal. Samples are in the ordnance
bureau of aluminium cups, belt buck
les, hooks and horseshoes.
The l%essening of the marching
weight Is one Of the problems which
always is before the officers who SUI
perintendent the matter of equipment.
Ii is hoped that in the near future it
will be found practicable TO use tho
light metal, not onld for drinking cups
and dishes for the soldiers, but for
bayonet scabbards and other
ments in which strength is not the
first requisite.
To a private, Joseph II. Kahn of one
of the artillery companies stationed at
Fort McHenry, the war department is
indebted for the design of n new and
important patent which may prove SER
viceable in campaigning. 1t is a CON-
bination of shovel and pick axe not
more thar a foot in length. which may
be carried at the belt. and used in dig
ging intrenchments. BY its use the
soldiers might, If hard pressed, hur-
riedly dig up earthworks or intrench-
mepts for their own shelter.

That Mr.. Cleveland Is right in his
view that the democratic party 10
pledged to reform of the tariff is be-
yond question:; but when he makes an
artificial distinction as to the classes OF
commodities still to be protected he is
certainly uttering heresies which he
would have repudiated during his first
term Of office. and which would have
been rejected by all the fathers and
founders of his party. For the presi-
dent attempts to draw a distinction be-
tween coal and sugar which cannot be
drawn, and which we fear can only be
explained by reference TO the respec-
tive influences brought to boar upon
congress by different interests. The
truth is that the democratic party, the

wool interests are in favor OF free wool;
+. l.. YOUNG.
Kirwin. Kan.
There are no members of congress
either in the house of representatives
or in the senate, who are republicans
and protectionists, who favor free wool
either directly or indirectly. There are
some dyed in the free wool democratic
senator's, however, who, while honestly
not in favor of free wool at heart, vet
vote for free wool. These gentlemen
are Senator Brice, of Ohio: Senator
Martin, of Kansas: Senator Roach, Of
North Dakota, and Senator White, Of
California. They are all democrats and
they have been bound hand and foot in
caucus by the free trade senators of the
south to stand by the senate finance
committee in whatever sort of a tariff
should be recommended, or rather what
aver sort of a tariff could be patched
together to secure a majority of a
single vote. Owing TO the weakness OF
these democratic senators in pledging
themselves to what they do not believe
in they were prevented from voting for
the protection of the wool industry.
None but the free traders are in favor
of free wool. The present dominant
party, composed of democrats and popu-
lists, who are traders, intertraders and
free traders, even in votes, were in the
majority and carried the day.

Democratic Pressure.

No. I6.-Is not the democratic attitude toward
American manufacturers one great cause OF
financial PRESSURE! j. C RAY.
4 Boom. N. C.
Yes. 1t is the and only cause OF
financial pressure. With the guaran-
teed continuance of a protective tariff,
every mill and factory in the country
would be running to its utmost capacity
within thirty days. The money now
boarded in the banks would immedi-
ately pass into circulation for the pur-
chase of raw material and the payment
of wages. The purchasing power Of
the people being thus restored there
would be a demand for the products Of
u mills, factories and farms, and
money that is now idle would pass
from hand to hand to the benefit OF all.
Idle money in the banks il withdrawn
from circulation, and every dollar thus
locked up is q dollar taken from the
country's trading capacity. There was
nothing of this sort in 1892.
