Leave the Drummer Alone.

The American drummer has been a
subject of discussion in the House of
Commons recently, and the sugges-
tion Was made that all commercial
travellers doing business in the United
Kingdom should be taxed. The Pres
ident of the, British Board of Trade,
however, Thought it would be imprac-
ticable as we'll as impolitic to dc. this.
It certainly would have been. We now
permit the representatives of foreign
industries to do business in our States
without contributing to the expenses
of their Government. American man
ufacturers are taxed upon the value
of their land, buildings and factories.
besides which they pay much higher
wages to their employees. The foreign
er, on the other hand, while paying
lower wages contributes nothing to
our State or municipal Government,
and would, il the free traders could
only have their way, be allowed to
sell his goods in our markets without
paying any customs duties. It would
certainly not be polite for the Brit
ish Government to tax American
drummers.

Report is made of a new application
of electricity which will drive first
class ocean steamer across the Atlantic
at an expenditure OF 5000, whereas it
now costs $4,000. It is tale of
magnitude, surprising that of the
Australian kangaroo, which is larger
than the animal it grows out of, but
there may be something in it. So
many wonders have been wrought
with this unseen, mysterious force
that the promise of new one, no
matter how great, need not excite in
credulity. 1t is reasonable to expect
it to be applied to the propulsion of
all sorts of craft, ocean or other, but
such saving of expense as that prom
ised is beyond anything heretofore
dreamed Of, and there may be some
mistake about it. It's economies need
not be so extreme to enable it to rev.
olutionize the co onmerce and business
of the world. One thing about the
Aelectrical force is apparent, and that
is that it's work is only begun. 1t is
to spread through the whole system OF
mans activities around the world,
with influences upon his career and
destiny not yet measured or measur-
able.

How lie Paid His Debt.

Owing to the extreme depres ion in
business, during the past two years |
was SO unfortunate as to be compelled
to make an assignment, and thus pay
the debt of gratitude we owe to De-
mocracy. For the past mouth, once
a week, as pass from my residence
daily to the Office in which found
employment after my harl luck land
in which l am aeeking to study law,
am confronted with that sacred em-
blem which Democracy faunts in my
face, aud over the door where my name
stood out in bold letters during 1S9t-
90, denoting that was in tho busi-
ness to stay and was prosperous, to-
day the cry of the auctioneer is heard,
and my former effects bring about
eight to ten cents on the dollar. This
is the history of my case, and thou.
sands of others can testify to the same
story. Thank God, Democracy is not
perpetual. That the reign of Cleve-
land is reaching its close, and that the
honest yeomanry of our country have
recovered from the delusions Of 1892
and will continue hereafter to support
the party OF progress and patriotism.

A Dog Protector.

People who are habitual dog haters
should read with some care an incident
of life in Newark, where pet dog led
distracted mother to her little two
year-old, which had strayed from
home. The dog had kept near the
child until the stupid individual into
whose hands the child had fallen
started crowd OF boys off with it to
drown it, on account of its strange ac-
tions. The mother came up just in
time to rescue the dog and then it in
turn took her to where the child was.
The only thing the matter with the
dog was that it wanted to protect its
little mistress. Nine-tenths of the
time dogs that are simply overheated,
fatigued or thirsty are set upon by a
wild crowd of human beings, who GO
into a panic every time dog pants
and are ready to kill every innocent
animal on general suspicion. Hydro
phobia is bad enough, but it is rare
disease, while the ignorant dog hater
is ever with us. Give the dogs q
chance. e.--Philadelphia Press.

The Bicycle LamD.

''There is a fortune awaiting the
man who can inventa really good BIZ
cycle lamp" said the instructor. "The
best one made is the searchlight,
which cannot be bought for less than
$5 it is the only one in which kero-
sene can be burned, sperm oil being
used in the others. The great a1vant-
age OF the searchlight is that it is less
liable to go out in running across car
tracks, ruts or rough places, but a
sudden jerk often extinguishes the
light in this, as we'll as in the cheaper
and less ingenious lamps. The truth
of the business is ifcyclists could buy
we'll perfected lamp there would be
none of these arrests of persons for
riding without lamps. Lamps cost all
the way from $l.50 up to 81, and will
hold enough oil to burn about tour
hours. Scientific American.

Projections Object Lessons.
drummers

Protectionists throughout the whole
country should encourage industrial
exhibitions. Large or small, such
displays, when we'll arranged, are OBJ.
ject lessons that demonstrate the wis.
dom and expediency of diversifying
home industries and OF establishing
them all over the land. They show
more clearly than books can do the
close, harmonious relations that bind
American producers, agricultural as
well as mechanical, together by the
bond OF common interest.
From the modest New York exhibi'
tion of 1854 to the great Worlds FaiI
at Chicago. in 1898, each industrial
display has served to inspire pride in
American skill and labor. Persons
who have read the practical lesson
rightly have gone away from such
places steadfast protectionists, fully re-
solved to insure fair play for home in
dustries, despite the sophistries OF
tariff reformers end the like. They
have been able to observe the several
stages by which the raw material, be
it mineral or vegetable, has been ad-
vanced until it appeared in all the
fullness and beauty of the finished
product = bearing irresistible testi-
mony to the excellence of American
labor when placed under favorable
conditions
The coming Atlanta exhibition or
Cotton States Fair ought to be q pow
erful agency in winning the South
and Southwest over to the side of pro.
tectionists. The enterprise merits
hearty encouragement from Northern
and Western manufacturers. They
should send to it the choicest pro-
ducts of their factories, with such in
formation as will enable the farmer
and the merchant to comprehend the
gains which they derive from the de-
velopment of home manufactures
under tariff that will avowedly pro-
ride protection as we'll as ample rev.

Wi'sou,s Well Doing Idea.

The Treasury Department statistics
show that under the first eight months
of the German tariff we have imported
100000 worth moro foreign made
china, porcelain, parian and bisque
ware, earthen, stone and crockery ware
than we did during the first eight
months after the Mckinley tariff be-
came law. By more than this amount
of money has the output of the Amer
lean potteries been diminished, and
American manufacturers and American
labor have been compelled to pay for
the gift made by the free traders to
their foreign friend. As Professor
Wilson says, we are doing very
well," at least for his friends abroal

The Soldiers Colonization Com
pany, of Indiana, has just bought
113. 200 acres of lard in Wilcox and
Irwin Counties, Georgia. It is esti-
mated, in the New York Tribune, that
5000 families, or about 10000 per-
sons, will settle within the next two
years on the land which has been
bought. It is the intention of the col
onies to settle on farms of sizes ac-
cording to their means. They expect
to be prepared out of their present
savings and resources to tide over the
period between this harvest season
and the next. In addition to farmers,
the colony will include artisans, fruit
growers and others seeking more fav-
orable labor, climate and health con-
ditions. They will come from Ohio.

Wisconsin and other Western States.

MEN OF The SOUTH,
HOW THEY HAVE DRIFTEr
FROM TRUE DEMOCRATIC
DOCTRINES.

Leaders Do Not Occupy the Old Solid
Ground Of Their Fathers-They
Favor Local. but Not National
Protection - Tariff for Revenue
Only Not True Doctrine.
The chasm between protection for
homo industry and true Democracy is
not as wide or deep as many erron-
eously suppose it to be. The fact il,
too many men in the South of the
younger generation have been led
astray. Leaders in the South do not
occupy the solid ground which either
the old Wings or the Union or Jack
son Democracy did years ago.
A "tariff for revenue only" is a new
theory comparatively. Many pretend
to favor, but fail to vote for, it in
Congress whenever bill containing
that idea is pr ented that would op-
crate harshly on some product in their
own State, like coal and iron in Ala
bama, marble in Tennessee or sugar
and rice in Louisiana. In other words,
it is doctrine good enough in theory
but not in practice like Mark Twain's
lightning rod, they wanted it put a
good ways off 30 as not to attract q
fluid that impoverishes, paralyzes and
destroys. As was we'll said, nearly
sixty years ago, by very ably con-
stituted committee on "agriculture"
in Congress:
'We would respectfully insist that
when the soil, climate and other cir.
cumstances will enable the people of
this country to produce by their own
labor on their own soil any article
which is extensively consumed among
us, it is the duty of the Government
to facilitate by all reasonable encour-
agement the production of that arti-
Gle. This course has ever been pur-
sued by our own Nation and by every
enlightened country on the face OF
the globe! 1t is true that this policy
may for short time add something
to the price; but this will be much
more than compensated for by the in
PRODUCTION of new article of indus
try and its subsequent abundance and
cheapness.
That has the ring of the true Ameri-
can doctrine of protection.
Mr.. Louis McLane, Democrat and
President Jackson's Secretary of the
Treasury, in his report December,
1881, favored tariff that would dis
criminate SO as ito encourage aud
protect the labor Of the people of the
United States from the advantages OF
superior skill and capital and the rival
preferences of foreign countries. +"
And he further said: "The various
opinions by which the people of the
United States are divided upon this
subject concern the peace and har-
mony of the country, and recon-
mend an adjustment on practical
principles rather than with reference
to any abstract theories" !"
We find nothing in that about a
''tariff for revenue only" Not only
Jackson and his friends, but the
Southern Wings saw nothing patriotic
nor sound in the Theory of q "tariff
for revenue only" No true American
can. 1t is because modern Democracy
has deserted the true doctrine that we
find it split into factions North and
South, unable to agree either in con-
ventions or in Congress, aud drifting
over to the British doctrine OF free
trade.

According to the New York World
the farmer who has hay to sell this
year will find it paying crop, and
generally through the States east of
theAlleghanies there has been enough
rainfall to bring the yield nearly to
the average. But in the valleys of
the Ohio. the Upper Mississippi aud
the Missouri a deficiency of from six
to eleven inches in the rainfall during
the spring months has made the grass
crop unusually short, q large proper
tion of the meadows being scarcely
worth cutting. The hay crop of last
year was nearly eleven million tons
less than the crop OF 1898, and the
prospect of another and much greater
deficiency in the marketable surplus
has put fancy price upon the avail
able supply out West. Farmers can
generally provide for home use sub
stitute in the form OF corn fodder, or
exc out a deficiency Of clover and tim
othy by turning under winter wheat
stubble and sowing millet. But a
shortage in the hay crop is big loss
to the country. The farm value of
this crop of 1898. according to the
statistican Of the Agricultural De.
partment, was s57O. ss2,s72, or more
than twice tho farm value Of last
years wheat crop and sl6. 900. 900
more than tho value Of list years Darn
