The Coming Tariff Bill.

A very considerable number of states
men arc now engaged in drafting tariff
bills which they hope to have adopted as
administration measures. By far the
best Of these, as far as we are familiar
with them, is that drawn under the
auspices of the New York Reform club.
That bill is based squarely on the Demo-
cratic platform of tariff for revenue
only, and the bill the ways and means

if it is to be forced through congress il
the name of the Democratic party.
To be supported by the genuine tariff
reformers of the Democratic party the
tariff bill must not take from the free
list any article that is now untaxed, it
must not impose taxes that will average
over 80 per cent, it must not provide any
rate ths,t is high enough to be restrictive

rHE COTTON CROP.

The Annual Report Of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange was issued on
Monday by Secretary Hester. The
annexed extracts from the report should
be studied BY cotton planters. They
say to them plant less cotton and raise
your own provisions; ; raise corn, wheat,
oats. hay. cattle. hegs. sheep. root
crops, and anything that can be used at
home. Continued over-production is
bankrupting the farmers. who will
soon become the tenants of the capi-
talists unless they act on common sense
and raise what they eat.
Secretary Hester. after stating that
the crop for 1s93-94 was 7,549, ,879
bales, an excess Of S49.452 over last
year, be says: The largest part Of the
gain. was in the group of Atlantic
States, consisting of Alabama. Georgia,
Florida and North Carolina, which ran
ahead The Gulf States. Arkansas,
Louisiana Mississippi and Tennessee,
increased 351 900. while Texas dropped
off SO. .Oe0 Mr.. Hester puts the aver
age commercial value Of the crop at
$3.50 per bale, against $42 5O last
year, ss7. so in 1922 and the total
value was 1888. .l1S.eo0, against
S2s4, $50. 600 last year and sSSS,Sl
600 the year before, showing the
remarkable fact that while the output
Of the last year has been 84e, ,452 ba'es
in excess Of the year before, its CONNER
bal value is 81, ,632. 900 less.
Mr.. Hester says With an average OF
I IL cents per pound, which the crop
brought, planters as class would have
been bankrupt had they adhered to their
old policy Of all cotton aad little food
crops aud instances the significant fact
that the cotton States produce over
x148, ,000. 900 of corn, nearly all of
which Was consumed where grown.
Commenting on the outlook for cotton
consumption in the South. Mr.. Hester
saws with a return to normal conditions
there is promise not only for an increase
of $4,000 bales per annum in the pro-
ducts Of mills now in operation. but Ia
bles show twenty-oue new mills not
completed With nearly 100000 spindles,
besides thir.y-six idle mills With $780,
900 spindles, q good part Of which
would be brought into play. In other
words, the South has 2, SOC. 600 spindles
With consumptive capacity of S25. 600

photocraphine French Criminals.

The system of photography in use is
peculiar to the service and is the result
of its experiments. It is free from all
conventional operations, for the photo
graph is made simply to be recognized.
The poses chosen are: A perfect profile,
since that gives sort Of anatomical
cut of the face; then a full face view,
since there one has the habitual express

style Of the different photographs. In

Temperance Education For Children.

Temperance Education For Children.
The following are some of the points
agreed upon by scholars as the standard
for the temperance Textbooks to be IN
troduced in the public schools of New
York under the laws passed through the
efforts of Mrs. Mary L. Hunt. If this
new education is to give to the world a
coming generation of intelligent total
abstainers, as we expect, its manuals of
instruction must conform to the follow
ing specifications:
They must teach with no uncertain
sound the proven findings of science, viz:
That alcohol is a dangerous and seduc-
tive poison.
That beer, wine and cider contain this
same alcohol, thus makng them danger
Gus drinks, to be avoided, and that they
are the product Of a fermentation that
changes food to a poison.
That it is the nature Of little of any
LIQUOR containing alcohol to create an
appetite for more, which is 80 apt to be-
come uncomfortable that the strongest
warning should be urged against taking
that little and thus forming the appetite.
They must teach also the effect Of
these upon "the human system"-that
is, upon the whole being-nental, moral
and physical. The appalling effects Of
drinking habits upon the citizenship of
the nation, the degradation and crime
resulting, demand that instruction here
should give clear and emphatic utter
ance to the solemn warnings Of science
on this subject.

The Holy City Has Caught the Fever Of Mod
ern Progress Promising Environment.
The British consul at Jerusalem in
his last report gives some interesting
details respecting the state of the Holy
City. It appears that buildings of vari-
GUS kinds continue to be erected in the
vicinity, and that the city is far out
growing it's former limits On the west
ern side houses have increased SO rapidly
within the last few years that quite a
large suburb has arisen where formerly
there were fields and vineyards. Every
available piece of land is now being
bought up by private persons or by be.
nevolent societies and missions, and al
ready the name Of Modern Jerusalem
has been given to this new quarter.
Last year the first public garden was
completed outside the Jaffa gate, and
the trade is generally increasing, espe-
cially that in Jaffa oranges, olive wood
work (now an important local industry
and olive oil The export of colocynth
declined in consequence of a 1.-THE levied
on it by the authorities. 1t is gathered
by Arabs in the neighborhood Of GAIA,
where it grows wild. An interesting en-
terprise which has recently been COM
menced is the collection of the bitumen
which rises to the surface and floats
about on the Dead sea- Two sailing
boats were taken by train from Jaffa to
Jerusalem and then conveyed in carts
to the Jordan, where they were foated
down the river to the Dead sea, and
they are now engaged in picking up the
bitumen. which is in much request in
Europe.
The consul thinks it would be advan-
tageous to trade with the inland dis
tricts if a steam launch and lighters
were placed on the Dead sea to ferry
across the produce of Moab, which is a
country that is rich in cereals, fruit
and cattle. At present it is conveyed by
caravans round the north or south end
of the Dead sea- entailing journey of
from four to five days. Kerak, the chief
town of Moab, is now garrisoned with
Ottoman troops, and authority is estab-
lished there, so that if rapid communica-
ton were established the whole produce
of Moab would find its way to Jerusa-
lem and the coast.-Boston Transcript.

They started off for the barroom, and

Agitating For High Wages.

The Iron Age is unable to understand
why in the face of lower duties and lower
prices workingmen should everywhere
be agitating for higher wages. 1t says:
prices of all kinds Of manufactured
goods feel the effect Of the financial pres
sure, and it looks as though the few az
ticles now steadily held at good price
must come down with the rest. Yet, de-
spite these outward events, labor de-
mands increased compensation, needless
of the fact that costs would thus be en-
hanced and reckless Of ensuing conse-
quences."
It seems well nigh impossible to get the
idea that high wages mean high cost OF
production out Of the heads of protection
lists, and yet there was never less founda-
ton for superstition: Looking over the
world of today, We SEE that the high
wage countries are the aggressive traders.
They not only produce cheaper than DC
the low wage countries, but they carry
their goods to the low wage countries
and carry back the products Of the ex-
change.
Europe has always supplied Asia with
manufactured products. England-the
highest wage country of the old world
takesit its manufactured products to every
corner of the globe. Nowhere else are
the wages of farm laborers as high as 10
America and Australia, and yet these al
the countries which supply Europe witt
food and raw materials. These facts are
so potent that they have attracted the
attention of protectionists from Henry
Clay to James G. Blaine, both of whom
were protectionists for other reasons.
High wages are nindication of low cost
of production, and this is just the time
for workingmen to agitate for higher
wages.
