So. 10 which all this vast country
of ours pays on each and every
dozen used? Is it the govern
the shovel receive it as a present?
No." answe the last two questions.
1t is the protected manufacturer. We
want every reader to remember when
he goes to the hardware store to buy
a common shovel with which to earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow,
that a millionaire manufacturer
reaches into his pocket and takes out
% cents more than a legitimate profit,
in the name of protection" What
is true of shovels is true of nearly all
hardware. Protection, thy name is
thief"
This was clipped from a local demo
cratic paper in Iowa. We referred it
to the Ames company, which manu-
facture shovels. and asked them to
furnish us with the facts. Here is
their reply:
North EAsToN, Mass, August, 1924.
DEAR SIR: In reply to the letter Of
Mr.. w. T. Wakeman about our
shovels of same quality being sold at
Eagle Pass, Texas, at Sc per dozen
and over the line in Mexico at So, 80
per dozen, it is the same old lie that
was circulated in spring 1892, and we
enclose you a copy of letter written to
Mr.. Henderson July 8, 1892. The
present price of our best Ames quality
crucible steel No. 2 size shovel to the
largest trade is s.. 10 net, and our
cheapest shovel is s.. rs net per dozen.
The Sc shovel mentioned must have
been our fourth or fifth grade and the
So. 80 our very poorest Our Ames
quality of goods have never been sold
at anywhere near the price mentioned
say Sc. The very lowest price fof
our poorest shovel is s.. rs net per
dozen, delivered in New York, and
freight would have to be added to
Mexico. And we sell them at same
price to large jobbers and export trade
in all cases. Yours truly,
CAKES A. AMEs, President.

The Law for the Wolves.


Now this is the law OF the jun lie. as old AMI
as true as the sky.
And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper,
but the wolf that shall break 1t must die.
AS the creeper that airdles the tree trunk ths
law runneth forward and back.
For the strength of the pack is the wolf. ana
the strength of the wolf Is :he pack
Wash daily from nose tip to tail tip drink
deeply, but never too deep
And remember the nisht is for huntin AMI
forget not the day is for sleep
The jackal may follow the tiger. but, cub,
when thy whiskers are grown,
Remember the wolf is q hunter-go forth and
get food of thine own.
Keep peace with the lords of the jungle, the
tiger, the panther, the bear
And trouble not HATH thu Silent. ana mock
not the boar in his lair.
When pack meets with pack in the jungle
and neither will go from the trail,
Lie down till the leaders have spoken it may
be fair word shall prevail
When We fl ,ht with a wolf Of the pack We
must fl hit him alone and afar
Lest others take part in the qulrral and the
pack is diminished by war.
49, - Lt' AClO3C Glld hhCIC
he has made him u home,
Not even the head wolf may enter, not even
the council may come
The lair of the wolf is his refuge. and where
he has di :ced it too plain,
The council shall send him "a message, and so
he shall change it again.
If We kill before midnight be silent and wa Ike
not the woods with your bay,
Lest We frighten the deer from the crop and
thy brothers so empty away.
Ye may kill for yourselves. and your mates
and your cubs Us they need and We can:
But kill not for pleasure OF KILN :, ana seven
times never kill man.
II We piunder his kill from u weaker, devour
not all in thy pride,
Pack right is the right of the melnest, 80
leave him the head and the hide.
The kill of the pack is the meat of the pack
Ye must eat where it lies
And no one may carry away of that meat to
his lair or he dies.
The kill of the wolf is the meat of the wolf
He may do what he will.
But. till he is given permission, the pack may
not eat of that kill.
Lair right is the ri -ht of the mother From
all of her year she may claim
One haunch of each kill for her litter, and none
may deny her the same.
Cub right is the right of the yearling. From
all of his pack he may claim
Full gore when the killer hls eaten ana
none may refu,e him the same
Cave ri hit is the right of the father, to hunt
by himself for his own:
He is freed from all calls to the pack. He Is
judged by the council alone.
Because of his age and his cunning because
of his gripe and his paw,
In all that the law leaveth open the word OF
the head wolf is law
Now these are the laws OF the jungle, and
many and mighty are they:
But the head and the hoof of the law and the
haunch and the hump is-Obey!

The Japan Mail, published at Yoko-
hama, is authority for the following,
in regard to the wages of mill opera
tives in Japan; also as to the value Of
Japanese money and the cost of coal,
all of which may throw some light
upon the problem of successful indus
trial competition with the Yankees
Of the east"
The daily wage of a factory girl i'll
Hiogo is 8 sen, whereas in Toxic it is
10 sen, and 10, 900 pounds of coal, cost
ing from % to 25 yen in the latter
city, can be had in the former for
from is to 10 yen. One yen equals a
Mexican dollar. One Mexican dollar
equals so cents United States gold.
One sen 1-190 of a yen or = cent gold,
Nine sen for a girl per day is equiva-
LEM to ~ cents gold per day. Wages
of a girl for one year, or 800 days,
S13.5 gold, or Sa7 silver. per year
Coal at 10 yen for FIVE tons equals
about 81. 90 per ton.

Anchors.

Some ascribe the invention of an
chors TO the Tyrrhenians; others to
Midas, the son of Gordips. The most
ancient are said to have been of stone,
and sometimes of wood, to which a
great quantity Of lead was usually
fixed. In some places baskets full of
stones, and sacks filled with sand,
were employed for the same use. All
these were let down by cords into the
sea, and by their weight stayed the
course of the ship. Afterward, anchors
were made Of iron, at first with only
one fuke, but in a short time q second
was added by Eupalamus, Or Auacharis,
the Scythian philosopher.

The gunners On the Ironsides at
Morris Island had a neat way of ex-
ploding their projectiles within the
boat. 1t was impossible to drive them
the sand and cotton Of which the work
was made. nor could the guns be SO
elevated as to toss them in as from a
mortar. So the pieces were depressed,
and the shot, striking the water about
fifty yards from the beach jumped in.
In nearly every instance this manner of
making the missils effective was sue
cessful. "Those are what I call bill
lizards" said the captain watching the
firing, 'they carom on the bay and
pocket the ball in the fort every time"

Just before the country passed into
control of the present administration,
Jan. 81, 1885,, the gold reserve in the
national treasury amounted to $l0s,-
900, 900. ga year later, Jan. 81, 1894,
il had been reduced to So, 000, 600. By
the aid of a $50, 900, 900 bono gold loan,
and the premiums of IS, 600, o05 on that
loan, the reserve was again restored
above its legal limit of 500, 900. 600.
Last month, July 90, the gold reserve
had again fallen to $50, $685. So De-
Quoting therefrom the $50, coo. 900
gold loan and the So, 600, 900 Of premi-
ums on the loan, we would have only
So 1915, sos remaining as the balance of
the treausry's gold reserve to main
tain the credit of the country after
less than eighteen months of a demo
cratic administration that has threat
ened the country with free trade.

The new tariff bill of the United

third reading, will remove a great
burden from many sections Of indus

the extent of about so per cent, while
other branches of the hardware in

DECREASED USE OF WOOL.
A Large Falling OFF in Our Manufacture
of Wooden Goods,

OF WOODEN GCOuS.
The Amer lean clip of 1893, the larg-
est ever known, will have passed
into consumption by the end of the
fiscal year, June 80. For the nine
months ending March 81, the imports
of raw wool were nearly 100, 900, 900
pounds below those for the same
period of the previous year, and esti-
mates on this basis for the whole
twelve months would indicate a fall
ing off of about l20, 900, 600 pounds, q
decrease of 7lH per cent for the year
in the imports of raw wool. The de-
crease in imports of manufactures of
wool estimated on the same basis to-
gether with the raw wool, shows a
falling off in the total imports for the
present year of 165, 600, 900 pounds
of wool. It is estimated that
the American people will have con-
sumed during the present fiscal
year only 4s1, 900. 900 pounds of un-
washed wool, or less than one-fifth of
the worlds production, as against
615, 600, 900 pounds, or owe ~one-fourth
of the worlds supply, consumed in
the previous year. Notwithstanding
the increase of 81, 900, 600 pounds in
the domestic clip of last year, a fall

For a short distance a lion or a tiger
can outrun a man and can equal the
speed of a fast horse, but they lose
their wind at the end of half a mile
at the most. They have little endur-
ance, and are remarkably weak in
lung power. Their strength is the
kind which is capable of a terrific
effort for a short time. 1t would take
six men to hold a lion down, even
after his legs were tied so that he
could not use his paws.

there would have been a deficiency of
81, 624, OBS in meeting the demands for
gold that have actually been made
upon the treasury with not a dollar of
gold security left for the payment of
treasury gold notes. This is the re-
suit of less than eighteen months of a
democratic administration and the
fear of free trade.

The Cradle of Liberty Unsafe.

Boston is uneasy because the superin-

nounced Faneuil hall unsafe. The room
used as a kitchen when public dinners
are given is dangerously exposed to
fire from the ranges, besides which the
public market in the ground floor of
the building has saturated that part of
it with grease, making it particularly
infiammable. The tower, too, leans
twelve degrees from the perpendicular.
The city council has been impelled to
consider steps to make the historic
''cradle of liberty safe.
