Three years ago Eli Perkins, the funny
man, was advocating the McKinley
brauch Of protectionism as illustrated IN
the prospects Of the tin mining industry
he soon made q hlt His "tin facts" be-
came more celebrated than his humorous
fancies. They were funnier because the
humorist, from second nature, OF by the
force Of habit, used percentages humor-
ously although unoonsciously.
At that time the humorist stated that
he had found a section Of McKinleyed
land out West, not definitely located
which for ffty miles square was capable
Of producing 80 per cent Of pure tin.
The most prolific mines ever dis
covered have not produced greater
percentage than and 8 per cent Of tin
Hence the Eli Perkins discovery was
startling The Mckinley papers were
delighted But it transpired that those
rumeical tin mines bad 80 per cent. of
plain dirt and interruptions lie and one
per cent. Of wind. They were abandoned
as worthless
Ell has reappeared as a campaign
writer. lie Is still full OF humor and
mathematics In an invented dialogue
with man "thrown out Of work" in
Amsterdam, New York, he says:
"'What will be the effects in Amster.
dam II the Wilson bill lowers the tariff
twenty i've per cent on knit goods?'
innu srfaarao Mill Iau. 40 fs. aauru M
per cent, said John Rigdon. We boys will
have to stand the cut or the factory will
stop. II fifty per cent tariff gives four
times the wages paid in Germany, why, a
twenty five per cent, tariff will make our
woges twice as much as they are in
Germany"
This humorous recklessness with per.
centages is peculiar TO the proiec ionists.
A few days ago political shepherd, IN
Kentucky, declared that the sheep indus.
try was In an "apprehensive" condition
that the hocks ia his county chad
decreased 500 per cent" He probably
was trying 20 imagine the astonishing
phenomenon that five times more sheep
had gone out Of existence than had ever
actually existed.
Ell Perkins is funny, indeed but there
are protection cranks in Congress, and, in
many other unexpected places, who are
equally funny. The idea OF protection
itself Is funny; it is contention that
we can tax ourselves from poverty tC
wealth.

DEPUTIES IN AM UPRoAR.
Communist Members Deded the Presiden Mt
and All Authority.

ana All AAtnorANls
PARIS, Jan. 2a.-The scene OF disorder in
the chamber Of deputies, which was only
stopped by an abrupt closing of the sit
ting, began when NJ. Chaudey, who is q
son Of the journalist whom the communists
arrested and imprisoned in 1871 and who
was executed In the conciergerie by order
Of Raoul Rigault, assembled the tribune
and with glowing indignation protested
bgainst the intolerable audacity OF par
iisans Of the commune like M. Clovis
Hugues, who dared to pose as champions
Of individual liberty.
This aroused the anarchists and social
lists TO frenzy. They started 10 their feet,
gesticulating wildly and shouting frantic
ally. The scene following was indescriba-
BILE.
NJ. Chaudey stood with outstretched
hands pointed at the Leftists and Radicals.
The Moderates and the Rightsts seemed
to be hurting anathemas at the Leftists.
Then out of the hubbub of noise and re-
examinations came the shrill cry, "Vive Ia
communew At the same time the presi-
dent was TO be seen fumbllng for the book
of rules. Finally the secretary thrust it
Into his hands at the right page. In his
loudest voice the president dominated the
pandemonium with the words: 81 call
upon you TO withdraw that cry 1t is a
most odious one and shall not tolerate its
utterance in this chamberw
! These words were cheered to the echo,
but many socialists continued to cry,
"Vive Ia communeW NJ. Dupuy, despite
all his efforts, found himself powerless TO
check the demonstrations. Finally silence
was restored, and the diminutive figure of
Thivrier, the deputy from Montlucon, APP
peared in the tribune. He said:
"My friends and / cried, 'Nive la COM
munep in the presence Of the iniamies just
uttered. I have the right TO say L am not
like Auvergnat, who changes his mind.
abide by all that have said"
This audacity disgusted the chamber
with the exception Of a handful Of Thiv-
rier's friends, who encircled him. ''Viyt
la communer' was cried louder than ever
by them when seven-eighths of the cham
Der responded to M. Dupuy's appeal and
voted for censure Of Thivrier, with tenn
porary exclusion from the chamber.
Jaures and other socialists then crowded
around Thivrier. warmly shook him 10y
the hand aud cried once more, "Nive J,

upon NJ. Thivrier to withdraw" Thivrie
responded; 81 decline to go. l shall only

pended the sitting.
