ty dissents: "a Because il deprives
our miners, lumbermen and farmers o.
the home market for the proceeds o.
their labor. (2) Because il deprives US
of the opportunity of converting our
own material into manufactured goods
and thus adding to our employmenti
aud wealth. (S) Because wool, coal
iron ore. lumber and such things are
not raw material. Nothing is raw ma.
terial which the la Dor of man has taker
out of its natural condition. (4) Be.
cause the scheme is a fallacy unless Il
is meant that all wages shall be re.
duced to the lowest standard of the
world. The raw material spoken of is
cheaper where cheaper labor exists
and than il can be after we have paid
the cost of transportation.
In short, cheap goods mean low
wages, and we must have lower wages
and cheaper goods than other nation,
to compete with them in their OWL
markets. Our own material is un.
taxed; hence untaxed material will moi

UNTAxED MATERIAL.
A Democratic Measure Which Is Fatal TO
American Workmen.

The democratic party demands that
all raw material entering into our
manufacturing products when brought
from fore gn countries shall be entered
free of customs duties, whether the
like Material exists in our own coun-
try or not, and the Wilson bill endeav-
ors to realize this demand. The rea-
son given is that this will enable us to
make and sell such manufactures at
cheaper rates, and to send them abroad
for sale in the markets of the world
1t is said that our manufacturers have
the capital. our workmen have the
skill. and our inventors the ingenuity
to produce tools and machines. SO that
with raw material free from tariff tax
alton we can compete with any other
nation. BY raw material is meant the
products of the forest, mine and farm.
Hence coal, iron ore. lumber, wool,
hemp, etc. are to go on the free list in
order to make cheap goods for foreign
markets as well as at home.
From this policy the republican par

SUPERSTITION IN SAMOA.
Strange Burial Rites of Natives In an
Land of the Bread Fruit.

Strange Burial Rites of Natives In the
Land of the Bread Fruit.
During wars the unburied dead caused
q great deal of anxiety and distress to
their relatives, who imagined they
could hear the spirits of the warriors
constantly crying to them: Cold!
Coldi Oh, / am so coldr' AS it was i'm
possible to bury the real body, they
imagined the spirits assumed material
shape, or could be obtained in some
tangible form, and funeral ceremonies
held over them. About dusk, says Out
ing, the friends and relatives as
sembled where the warrior was sup
posed to have fallen. Spreading a
cloth on the ground, one would pray to
some family god, asking TO obtain
quickly and without trouble the spirit
of the fallen one. Whatever happened
to alight or crawl on the cloth was
considered to be the spirit. If nothing
appeared some other member of the
family would pray, giving place in
turn to some one else. This was con-
tinued until something would alight
on the cloth. Whatever it proved TO
be-ant, moth or worm-was carefully
wrapped up in the cloth, taken home,
and buried with all the honors and
ceremony due the real body of the
warrior.

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

s%-Hill appears to have decided that
il he can't have the presidency in 1895,
no other democrat shall.-Toledc
Blade.
s8The democratic donkey is too
nearly dead to suffer much from the
vivisecting IT is now undergoing
Chicago Tribune.
sTThe best thing to be said of the
fiscal year just closed is that it less
ened the period of democratic rule by
twelve months-St. Louis Globe-De
ocrat.
sBThe democratic papers are now
and then warning their party. 1t
is too late. There is no use in warn
ing man after his ruin has been ac-
complished. Toledo Blade.
The next democratic platform
platform will declare in favor of free
trade, tariff for revenue only, with in
cidental protection, protection for
American industry when represented
by trusts, and war to the death on
other American Observation-Disclosures
Tribune.
Eventually tariff reform, alias
the sugar and whisky trusts, and all
their attendants will get out of confer
ence committees and cellars and be re-
ferred TO the people in open daylight.
Then yon will hear the dry bones OF
this congress rattle.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
sE-The present congress has enact
ed eiphty-five laws out of 7.453 intro
duced. There are 500 important bills
waiting for hearing, but at the pres
ent rate of progress very few of them
will ever be considered. Some of them
relate to matters of the greatest con-
Germ. No other congress has made
such a poor record as this.-Cincinnat
Gazette.
Some of the democratic papers
contend that the times are as bad in
England as in the United States.
Railroad earnings do not say so. The
decline in this country from January
to April 80 was 1895 per cent; in
England for the half year ending
April 81 there was an increase of 2.25
per cent The cost of democratic in
capacity when placed at the head of
the government may be gagged from
these and many other comparative
figures that can be cited.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat
Week after week the prices %
staple commodities have gone down,
down. down, stripping the farmers OF
their substance and forbitting Them
to buy the goods made in our mills
and held OF cur merchants. The
nation now clearly perceives that
there is but one thing the matter.
The machinery of its government is
controlled by a band of wreckers. 1t
is in the hands of some of the same
men who thirty odd years ago tried to
wreck the whole government Ii is
directed by a political party which has
a capacity for misgovernmeut which Is
not far removed from anarchy itself
The penalty is heavy for the monu-
mental folly Of November, 1892, which
placed this rarty in power. We may
recognize il in the closed mills. the
idle men. the lower wages and the

facturers aud farmers Manufactures

Gen. Wagner few years ago was
the director of public works in Phila-
delphia. He was the first man to en-
10Y the honors and emoluments of the
position after it was created by the
Bullet bill charter und which the
Qua lser municipality is now governed.
1t happened that during one of the
summer months of his incumbency a
lot of Piclxett's Virginia veterans
came north, accompanied by Gen.
Pickett's widow, and on the field of
Gettysburg, where they had made
their immortal charge, they held a
reunion and fraternized with the boys
of Webb's Philadelphia brigade, who

Sugar and Diamonds.

II can now be said with perfect truth
that lump of sugar may be turned
into diamonds. Not all tie substance
OF the sugar will enter into the compo-
sition of the gems. but only the carbon
which il contains Sugar consists of
carbon united with oxygen and by
drogen IN the proportion to form
water. The carbon can easily be sep
arated out. and in some of the recent
experiments for the production of
diamonds this sugar carbon has been
employed As our readers have been
informed. the diamonds so far pro-
duced are very small AMI destitute of
commercial value; but still they are
real diamonds, and the chemical tri-
umph achieved would be no greater
intrinsically if they were as large as
the kohinoor. OF course il is not
meant by what has been said above
that carbon prepared from sugar is the
only form of carbon used in these ex-
periments- The graphite from which
lead-pencils are made serves the pur-
pose Just as well, and still other forms
of carbon may be employed. The hope
is now held out that an improvement
in the process of manufacturing dia-
mOnds may soon be effected whereby
the necessity of disolving the carbon
in molten iron may be dispensed with.
and the required combination of great
pressure with great heat may be
brought about by some such opera
tion as squeezing the carbon between
red-hOt metal plates Com

it fired on when carried by such brave
men. The way that brigade and its
commander acted under fire impressed
me, and | have often wondered who
the officer was"
One of the officers present was able
to tell to whom Gen. Mills tribute of
bravery applied. lie was Gen. Car
man. After careful examination of
the map Gen Carman decided that the
brigade was that of Gen. John M.

and One Hundredth Indiana Gen.
Loomis, Gen. Carman said, is, or was
