a ps.eus.ion an Ere. Coal.

The rabid editor Of a free trade paper
In Dover. n. H.. lately told a working
man that free coal would bel great bene-
fit to him. The discussion which follow
ed was in the man as follows:
Laborer-You have admitted that the
present depression is largely due to the
uncertainty and delay in tariff legisla-
ton.
Editor-Certsinly, Every n admits
that.
Laborer-How much do you think !
would be benefited by free coal?
Editor-Coal from the British prov
inces can be delivered here at a good
profit at 81 per ton, and you now pay
$3.50 per ton, and you could save $3.50
per ton with coal on the free list.
Laborer-I understood you that the
tariff raised the price of an article Just
the amount Of the duty. How. then, will
the repeal of a rs cent duty on a ton of
coal reduce the price $3.50 per ton?
Editor-Oh, that will be the result OF
competition, and the Pennsylvania min
ers cannot compete with the miners OF
Nova Scotia.
Laborer-What will become of the
Pennsylvania miners?
Editor-Of course the mines will be
closed until the miners will work cheap
enough so that they can also sell coal at
$4 a ton.
Laborer-Then the new tariff is in
tended to reduce wages?
Editor-Oh, no indeed. that is not the
object. though no doubt the wages will
be incidentally reduced at first in many
directions.
Laborer-I use half a ton of coal q
month, and you say that with free coal
could a v $3.50 on Il ton or $1.25 pee
month on my coal bill. Now, my wages
have been reduced %, per cent ard you
have admitted tat the agitation of the
tariff question caused the depression
which reduced them. You have also ad-
mitted that incidentally the proposed
tariff itself would reduce wages. Before
reduction my wages amounted to So per
day. Now please explain how | am ben
Gifted by saving $1.25 a month on my
coal bill while | lose $21.84 a month on
my wages. l can hardly see where the
saving comes in.
Editor-It is evident that you and /
do not think alike on the tariff question.
Good night, sir.
This conversation took place in the
presence of several witnesses and illus
trates fairly well the effects of the pro-
posed Wilson tariff on labor.

A Murderer's Light Sentence.

During the cholera scare in Vienna
some months ago a rule was made for
bidding persons visiting restaurants to
squeeze small rolls on the tables to test
their freshness. One day an army cap
tain went to one table after another,
handling the bread before be selected a
roll. A master baker. also a visitor,
spoke to him about it. The captain gave
a naughty answer. waited for the baker
outside and stabbed him. The victim
died instantly.
The bakers death caused a great
commotion. The funeral was attended
by many thousands and proved that the
peoples sympathies were with him.
Now the officer has been sentenced to
six months arrest in barracks, and he
will be permitted to keep his rank when
he has finished his term. One cannot
help wondering what the sentence might
have been had the baker stabbed the
oficer.-Vienna Letter.

A Great Question Which Is Agitating the
British House of mmon

A Great Question Which Is Agitating the
British House of Commons.
The great question whether walters
ought to be tipped is just now agitating
the house of commons a good deal more
than the fight with the lords over the
employers liability and parish councils
bills, of which, truth to tell, everybody
is getting a bit tired. But the tip ques-
ton affects the private pockets of the
honorable members, and their interest
in it is consequently keen. 1t has al
ways been the rule in the commons that
the walters in the dining rooms should
not receive tips because living wages
are paid to them, but of late years tip
ping has pretty generally prevailed,
and the meG learned to expect tips as
much as though they were common cafe
walters. & goodly proportion of the
members, however, refused to counte-
nance the system, with the result that
they have of late found themselves neg
lected. Recently there have been SO
many complaints that the kitchen COM
mlttee solemnly appointed a subcommit-
tee to inquire, and the result was the
issuing of an order prohibiting walters
from receiving tips and granting to
each waiter an increase of a shilling a
day. The walters calmly pocket the
shilling, but continue to take the tips
whenever they get a chance, and it has
become a question what shall be done
with the honorable and right honorable
gentlemen who thus defy committees
and subcommittees.-N York Suns

Cutters Get It In the Neck.

The total imports of cutlery during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1893, were
valued at 81, 156, 900, and this, too, when
the American manufacturers of cutlery
received from 63 to SO per cent ad valo-
rem protection, or an average of 80 per
cent. The Wilson bill proposes to re-
duce this protection to 45 per cent, thus
openly increasing by 30 per cent the bust
ness of the foreign manufacturers. This
means aloss of So per cent to wage earners
engaged in making cutlery, unless they
can induce all good Americans to buy
nothing but the American goods through
a patriotic interest for American indus
tries.

The Trnpical Nnse.

DR.. William c. Braislin shows that in
negroes the nasal canals are wider, short

thereby less protection is afforded the
lungs. The author believes that the Afri-

A GREAT MAN.

Abraham Lincoln was one OF the best
and greatest men that ever lived. He
was a plain man and understood the plain
people. He had no "wheelsin his head"
being greatly different in that respect to
most OF the statesmen ~ Of today. Pos
sessed OF q powerful brain, good rea-
soning powers and unusual force OF char
acter, 'he WAS maturity a leader among
men. Would to God their was as able a
leader at the head OF the Nation today.
In one of his messages to congress he.
said:
1t is assumed that labor is available
only in connection with capital that no.
body labor sunless somebody else, own
ing capital, somebody by the use OF it
induces him to labor. Now there is no
such relation between labor and capital

Condition OF hired laborer.
Labor is prior to and independent OF
capital. Capital is only the fruit OF lab
or, and could never existed. Capital
has rights, which are as worthy of pro
lection as any other rights. Nor is it
denied that there is, and probably al
ways will DE a relation between capital
and labor, producing mutual benefits.
The error il in assuming that the
whole labor of the community exists
within that relation. A large majority

working for them. A considerable num-
Der mingle their own labor with capital /;
that is, they labor with their W hands,
and also buy or hire others to labor for
them but this is only a mixed and not
q distinct class. Property is the fruit OF
labor; property is desirable; is a posi-
tive good in the world.
That some should be rich shows that
Others may become rich, and hence is
just encouragement to industry and en-
terprise. Let not him that is honseless

Those three words are the dolefulest
in the EnslisI: language. There is moth
ing more IN. lancholy than to see per-
0 IL able AID willing t o work asking
only the chance to earn their bread, with
others usually dependent upon them,
yet with no work to do. At such times
The civilized man is worse off than the
barbarian.
But it is exactly at such times that
each person should do the hardest think
ing of his life. After this hard think
ing let him conclude that he will take
the first thing that offers, no matter
what it is. The man who has adapt
ability will never get left. The man
who has no adaptability can cultivate
it quickly enough when he has moth
ing to eat. Lately an ablebodied young
man passed through a small city beg
ging his bread. He had a trade, but
shops had shut down. 1t never had oc-
CURED to this man, whose mind had hith-
erto run in one little groove, to look for
anything else than work at his own
trade. One person at whose house he
begged food suggested to him that he
might earn it instead by doing a good
job of housekeeping that was needed
just then.
The tramp laughed at first. then
adopted the suggestion. He was good
natured and strong. He set in and
washed windows and scrubbed floors
with a will, and earned enough that day
to provide him with food and lodging for
the next. He found he really had NEW
trade on which he could fall back, at any
time. With this knowledge he went on
his way. He would thenceforth neither
have to steal rides on q train nor unman
himself by begging, for in any village he
could get window washing, scrubbing
and cleaning to do.
Whatever work will tide over the hard
times till one can find regular employ
ment again is to be welcomed. Every
new trade a man or woman acquires
gives a new weapon with which to fight
the world. The machinist who can do
farm work, the dressmaker who can and
will take homework, has two trades in
stead of one and a double chance. More
over, the foundations of many of the
greatest fortunes have been laid by per-
sons accepting the work that was near
est, although they did not like it best at
the time. Fate often knows better what
we want thar we ourselves know.
