Are You in il?

Mr.. Chas. Il. Spahr of Columbia university
has recently examined the records OF the sur
rogates OF thirty hve counties in the State of
New York, covering the last three months OF
s93 and including the counties of New York
and Kings, the chest in the State. The re-
suits are remarkable AS showing how tew
people leave any estates at all and the low
average values OF the estates left.
Out OF 10 900 persons over twenty five years
OF age dying during the quarter, only
Ss5 left estates equal TO or exceeding $1,000
2t6 averaging l992
664n valued nj Ooeo
Think of it, Less than per cent were
worth 5000 and less than 25 per cent were
worth 1922 when they died. The conclusion
is that whether 9ll5 out of every 10000 leave
an estate of $1,000 or not depends upon
whether they have lite insurance for that
amount or not.

Some Things Evident.

There may be, and doubtless are.
many things in tariff theories that
a. lbstruse, or that can be demon
strated only by practical tests, bui
there are some things so apparent
chat the wayfaring free-trader, though
a fool, may comprehend. "Thest
truths are self-evident:" If we pur-
cnase from foreign nations one hun
fred million dollars worth of goods,
We get the goods and the foreignei
gets the cash: but if we buy the same
goods from American producers then
Americans get both the goods and the
money, ana America is one hundred
million dollars better off than in the
former transaction. Again, and still
more important. if the production OF
his amount of goods in this country
gives employment TO two hundred
Thousand of our own people, then, if
we buy the goods abroad II will leave
two hundred thousand of our OWL
people idle who might have been en-
plOyed had we purchased the goods
at home. The statement needs no
more demonstration than that two
and two are four. Then, as the home
market or demand for goods is destroy
cd people are thrown out of employ
ment in the same ratio, and their
purchasing power is destroyed, ard
this leads on to the indefinite impov-
eriShment of the individual and the
country.
If goods can be purchased and
Skipped into this country from abroad
cheaper than they can be produced
lere, people will buy abroad. This is
evident. Then one of two things mus
result. Either a tariff discriminating
in favor Of the home manufacturer
or reduction of wages to the amount
paid by the foreign manufacturer. A
reduction of wages impoverishes the
laborer and every other person he i.
accustomed to make purchases from.
The Republican party is unit fol
the maintenance of god wages by a
sufficient amount of protection in a
tariff to produce this. The Democrats
and PUpulists would break down al
protection and thus either throw the
laborers out Of employment or have
them work at greatly reduced wages
Which polly cOmmends itseii as the
most sensltaeY

February.


Our present calendar is mainly the
work of the Romans, Ito whom, by
the way, the world is much indebted
for civilized government and it is
therefore not strange that the names
of the months should be Latin ones.
This month was not, however, in the
original Roman calendar, but was adj
ded by King Numa. who, when he
increased the number Of months by
two, placed January at the beginning
and February at the end. 1t received
its name either from the word Febru-
are. TO purify. or from Februa, the
festival OF publication, which was
celebrated about this time. In the
year 452 Il. C.. the decemvirs changed
the order Of the months, making
December the close of the year, and
placing February after January.
This position il has since retained.
The old heather customs of purifica-
ton from the labOrs and sins of the
year by sacrifices and penances in Eel
ruary, have passed entirely away. PeO-
pie now take simply a rest from both
business and dissipation by journey
somewhere, escaping from the ennui
tand sometimes the temptations)
which ensues on being too constantly
in the same place and occupation. il
you contemplate journey for such
reasons, or any other, an important
is that your railroad
ticket should be over the Burlington
Route. Maps, rates, and information
will be cheerfully furnished by your
home agent, or you can write to WI.
