being separated into three divisions.

silver issue and bend their mighty en-.
ergies to the tariff does not meet the
appreciation of the party press, re
marks the Pittsburg Post. and tho
Philadelphia Bulletin declares that the

if another general revision of the tar

be amended from time to time in the
direction OF securing greater revenues,
but Mckinleyism as tariff principle
Is defunct.
Mchinleylsm as tariff principle can
never prevail in this country again.
1t matters not where the G. O. p. runs
or what faith it embraces it can never
again fasten the robber tariff on the
country as was once the case.

'::vhis is highly encouraging exhibit.
Another part of tho table shows that
100000 persons in the points in tho
Eastern and Middle State divisions
have had thoir wages advanced, voluu.
tnrily IN most instances. since April !,
Is, COO In the Western and Northwestern
region. and 10000 in the South aud
southwest, or IT'S, 600 in all.
II is also worthy of note that only
sc, 900 persons In tho regions named,
that Is, in the country east of the Rocky
Mountains-have struck since April ],
and but 20, 900 OF these have struck for
higher wages. At this season in 1894
the strikers were several times as nu.
merous as this. Here is the marked evil
dence of the industrial improvement of
the past two months, and this change, of
course, ID reflected in the entire bust
ness world. Our contemporary says that
tue stock and grain markets nre
stronger, railroad earnings nre increas-
ing and bank cearings are getting
close to the highest figure of the most
prosperous year OF the past.
In branches OF trade the highest
figures of 1891 arc left behind. The
treaaury situation. too, improves with
the general business revival. and tho
time Is close ut hand when gold impor
tation will set in, and this will further
strengthen the reserve. Government
reserves continue below expenditures,
but the monthly shortages are do
clining. Probably they will disappear
altogether before Congress meets. All
the indications point to a continued
advance In the more important. lines of
trade. Nothing like boom, however,
is III sight. The Improvement is slow,
but 1t Is more solid and permanent on
that account.

Smelling Iron by Electricity.

A gentleman who had been interested in
the manufacture Of iron in Oregon ex-
hibited piece weighing about two ounces,
which he saw manufactured by electricity
from black sand in twenty minutes at
factory on the east side. He says that the
days of smelling iron with charcoal in this
state are passed. 1t costs $40 per ton for
fuel to smelt iron. 1t is made in Germany
by electricity for s. per ton, and in Ala
bama, where coal and iron mines are close
together and negro labor is cheap, 1t is
smelted for IS per ton, and the freight on
1t to Portland Is $40 per ton. Pig iron used
to bring $50 to $50 per ton here, and finally
was reduced to s23. This left but little
profit when the fuel cost $40 to the ton of
iron, and rendered competition with Ala
bama iron impossible. The only hope for
smelling iron in this state in the future is
by electricity. By utilizing water power to
generate the electricity it may be possible
to smelt iron here as cheaply as anywhere.

AUTHORS AND MARRIAGE.

When we compare the restrictions OF
married men with the opportunities of
the bachelor, we see that the latter has
well-nigh boundless possibilities for going
into the social world He has scoHes Of in
vitations which will never reach his mar
ried friends, and he is generally sought
after In society until he is almost three
score and ten. Even married women are
more interested in him, whether they have
a candidate for his hand or not. They talk
with him on wider range of subjects in
which they know he is surer to be inter-
ested than those whose chief thoughts are
wrapped up in their families. He may
have no more invitations to the most nota-
BILE gatherings than famous married men,
but it Is in the less pretentiouS places that
most is learned of human life, and he can
call where husbands cannot. and so easily
study types denied to them. The world
lies open in all directions to him; he is not
tethered to a stake. He wishes to study
the society of a certain city, to write a
novel with a local flavor, and he removes
there at his own sweet will. He stays
abroad as long as he likes. and If he wishes
to study the lower classes there he can

would never take his wife.
When we come to investigate the lives of
the greatest authors we shall find that
the majority either did not marry or they
were unhappily mated, and hence thrown
on the world for consolation and enlarge
ment Of knowledge. or they laid the foun-
dations for greatness before marriage.
Among those we may mention in the
class of unmarried authors are Alexander
Pope, Thomas Gray Oliver Goldsmith, Ed
ward Gibbon, Charles Lamb, Lord Ma
cauley, Washington Irving, Wilkie Collins,
Charles Reade. We ought also to add to
this list the giant satirist, Dean Swift, for
he never lived with his wife, and Lord
Byron, who had only about a years expe-
rience of married life.
We find some great names among the
list of the unhappily married. The most
enthusiastic advocates of matrimony could
scarcely have the assurance to say that 1t
aided or was anything else than a clog to
Chaucer, Shakespeare Dickens or Thack-
cray
1t would be wearisome to give the names
of all those authors who laid the founda-
tons Of greatness before marriage, and we
shall instance only Milton, Goethe and
Dante.
