INCREASE OF WEALTH BY PIE.
RIODS.

In Mr.. M. G, Mulhall's statistics
in relation to the power and wealth
of the United States, it is shown
that for the period from 1910 to
1860 the aggregate wealth as well
as the productive power of the
country quadrupled, whilst the IA.
ito OF increase between 1870 and
1890 was much less. In fact, from
1880 to 1890 the gain was less than
double, though every season was
present for a greater increase than
during the former period. From
l04O to 1860 the country was under
the operation of what was called a
revenue tariff, while during the lat
ter period the protective principle
ran riot.
But that is not the only reason
why the per centage should have
been increased during the time be-
tween 1870 and 1890. Most of the
labor-saving machinery and scien-
tiiic discoveries we're made during
that period, The best agricultural
machinery was unknown previous to
|
1870, electricity was unheard of,
natural gas performed no part in
industrial economy, and the largest
portion of the railroads were con-
structed between 1870 and 1890.
The total valuation of property in
the United States in 1880 was $43,-
100000, and in 1890 $65, ,O37, :
100000, an increase Of $21, ,301, 000,-
900, 1t would not be an extrava-
giant estimate to say that the in
ventions, Improvements, railroads
constructed and the precious met
ais discovered during the period
was equal to the amount.
This being the case, it necessarily
follows that the so-called protective
tariff in no way increased the wealth
or added to the comforts of the
people of the United States during
the thirty years in which it served
as an agency for robbing them of
their earnings, AS a matter of
fact, it must have operated in the
contrary direction, for while the
wealth quadrupled in the twenty
years of revenue tariff, though there
were no important inventions or
wealth creating discoveries during
the period, there was no increase
at all outside Of them during the
era of protection, kansas City

HIS PRESENCE OF MIND.
Colonel Morrison Used IL All on uis Wife
at "a Hotel Fire.

Colonel Morrison Used IL All on lila Wife
at IA Hotel Fire.
Friends OF cy-Congressman william H.
Morrison Of Illinois arc tellinga an nDecdote
Of uncertain date relating 10 tho chairman
OF tho interstate commerce committee.
Colonel Morrison believes In the efficacy of
discipline Of tho mind. He has spent
great part or his evcntful career In hotels,
and one OF his theories has always been
that tho mind can be so trained that tho
biggest sort OF hotel fire Is powcrloss To
sidetrack the reasoning faculties when
presence Of mind is needed. He impressed
his theory very strongly upon Mrs Nor
rison by conjuring up variety OF critical
exiPencics and instructing her how TO act
In given cases.
Fate would have IL that the colonel
should be put to tho test. Ho and his wife
were aroused from their slumbors one
night by an alarm of fire. The hotel In
which they had their rooms was aiiro, and
great confusion and tumult cnsuod among
tho guests
Now 10 tho time to put into practice
what have always preached to you, my
dear" said tho colonel. Don't get ex-
clted. Put on all your Indispensable ap-
parcl and take your time. Don't loso your
head Just watch me-"
He calmed Mrs. Morrison's anxiety,
handed her the various articles necessary
to her toilet, put on his collar and cuffs,
took his watch from under the pillow and
placed 1T in his vest pocket, put on his
hat, packed valise OF valuables, and,
taking his cane, walked with Mrs. Nor.
rison out of tho burning building into the
street.
"Now, my dear" he said, when they
were safo don't you SEQ what a grand
thing 1t is to keep cool and act with de.
libcrato purpose in an emergency like thisY
Here you are completely dressed as though
you were going out for walk, and over
yonder are several ladies In complete dis
.habillc."
Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first
time glanced at her husband.
You arc right, William" she said, "it
is a grand thing to keep cool and act de-
libcrately, but IL had boon you would
have staid in tho room long enough to put
on,my trousers. s."-Washington Post.
