Why Times Are Better.

Republicans rejoice in all evidences
Of returning prosperity. The busi-
ness interests of the country were
stricked down by the success of Mr..
Cleveland on platform demanding
the immediate overthrow of the pro.
tective system, and at the head of
party which had shown it's friendship
in every way to free silver coinage.
The Democrats of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, as soon as called together
by Mr.. Cleveland, began work on
bill under the supervision of Mr..
Wilson designed to carry out their
platform. 1t was passed by the House,
but the Senate substituted another
bill for it, which, under the lead of
Mr.. Gorman, the Democratic manager
in that body, changed the Wilson bill
into an irregular and unsystematio
protection measure. Business did not
revive after that bill was passed be.
cause the free trade and ruling ele-
ment in the Democratic party de-
nounced it as base betrayal of prin.
ciple, and declared that at the first
opportunity further steps would be
taken toward free trade. Last Novem.
ber the people had chance to ex-
press their opinion, and they did SO
in way that showed that there would
be no more free trade legislation for
long time to cone. Then manufac-
turers add other business men felt safe
in making some calculations for the
future, and business began to revive.
The indications are that we will have
good crops and fair prices, and good
crops and fair prices help the revival
that the Republican victories started.
The Republicans promised last fall
that times would begin to improve if
their cause was indorsed by the
people. and the promise has been
carried out. Times are better, but
they are not wholly good, and will
not be until Republicans are put ip

A Human Autograph Album.

A singular medical freak has been
exhibited before the Cleveland (Ohio)
Medical Society. The subject, whose
name is Brokaw. and who works in
steel mill, is twenty-four years of age
and finely developed physically. He
went to DR.. Aldrich few days ago to
have his lungs examined, and as the
physician tapped and hammered on
his brawny chest he presently noticed
that little elevations and ridges were
appearing everywhere he struck.
Amazement succeeded interest as
the doctor discovered in few minutes
that the mans whole breast was swol-
len and angry looking. He was in
formed that that condition had long
existed and that the effects of irritat-
ing the skin in like manner lasted
sometimes for hours. When the pa
tient was placed on exhibition before
the society letter, which had been
impressed upon his arm during the
afternoon, was still visible.
Some of the physicians expert
mented with match sticks until the
mans back was veritable autograph
album in embossed letters. Brokaw
said he was in perfect health and that
this peculiar sensitiveness caused him
no trouble, the only sensation being
slight burning. Letters and words
written upon him during the time the
society was in session appeared with
distinctness when he retired from the
ROOM Record.

Increase the Home Market.

Under the system of diversified
labor which Andrew Jackson, who was
at heart sound protectionist, would
promote, the country might regard
good crops with more complacency
and satisfaction. When farmers hear
of the immense corn and spring wheat
crops that are expected they wonder
what the price will be. The mere
chance circumstance Of shortage in
the European yield alone prevents
wheat from falling to the low prices
that were current last winter and
spring. The prices would be still
more ruinous had not home industries
provided that home market which the
founders of the Republic 80 earnestly
desired. If we produced at homo the
products which we neodlessly buy
abroad, corn, wheat and meat would
command better and steadier prices
than under the free trade policy
which would make this country 80 de-
pendent upon the European markets.

We sailed and sailed upon the desert sea,
Where for whole days we alone seemed to be.
At last we saw a dim, vague line arise

Then hills and valleys, rivers, fields and

Wanted 10 Steal Cars OF Steel Rails

A Chicago man undertook to steal
eight car loads of steel rails, which
were stacked up at Grand Island, Neb.
He chartered the cars and began to
load the rails in the night, but the
station agent soon found what was 60
ing on, and the game was up. If the
man had succeeded in getting the rails
away from Grand Island he would

THEORY SMASHER.
FACTS OF TRADE DISPROVE
DEAIOCRATIC ASSERTIONS.

Larger Imports Consist Entirely of
Goods We Can Manufacture
Fewer Goods In Crude Condition
to Help Home ndustry-Decrease
in Our Purchasing Power.
Comparing the 1895 years imports.
during which the Gorman tariff was
in force for ten months, with the full
twelve months imports of 1892 and
1898, the German tariff imports are
in some cases larger than those for
1892, and in other instances larger
than the imports for 1898, and some
times greater than the figures given
for both of these two Mckinley pro-
lection years. When considering the
effect of the present lower tariff, it
should be remembered that in 1892
and early in 1898 tho bulk Of the
people were fur more prosperous than
they are to-day and consequently were
better able to pay for the luxury of
foreign goods. Now the lower tariff
permits the larger quantities of i'm
ports at such low prices as enable keen
competition with our own manufac-
turers and interference with their
business in our home market, the
people not being able to afford to
purchase SO many articles of voluntary
use and luxury as they did in 1892 and
1893.
This fact is very evident from
comparison of such imports as fol-
lows:
IMPORTS OF ARTICLES OF VOLUNTARY USE,
LUxURIEs, ETC.
1892. 1893. 1895.
Value $104, ,764, 1852 1926, ,s55,541 $93,2o5,7s0
During the year just ended, to June
80, 1895, we bought over $l1, 100000
worth less of articless of voluntary
use, luxuries, ETC., than in 1892, and
$32, 900, 900 less than in 1898.
Turning next to our imports Of mr.
ticles manufactured and ready for
consumption, articles that enter di-
rectly into competition with the prod
ucts of our own factories, we find that
we bought SIS, 800, 900 worth more in
1896 than in 1898, an increase OF 2.32
per cent. of all imports, while the in.
crease was 2.97 per cent. over the 1892
figures.
II we look at those imports of ar
ticles in q crude condition, or which
were wholly or partly manufactured
for use in our mechanic arts, we find
that in both cases they were less in
1895 than in 1893 and 1892, the exact
figures being:
In crude condition in 1892, $2O4,-
O93, ,096; for use in mechanic arts in
1892, $S3, 206, All; in crude condition
in 1893, 1926, I'll, ,9S9; for use in me-
chanic arts in 1893, $9S, 1853, 902 in
crude condition in 1895, $191, 119,S10;
for use in mechanic arts in 1895, $73,-
656, ,655.
In 1896 we imported nearly $13,-
100000 worth less of articles in a
crude condition than we did in 1892
and $35, 900, 900 worth less than in
1893. OF articles for use in the me-
chanic arts we imported to the extent
of So, $50, 900 less in 1896 than in 1892
and over $25, 600, 900 less than in 1898.
These values show that the German
tariff has been hindrance to our
manufacturers in supplying them with
an abundance of cheap raw or partly
finished material, and it has been
hindrance to them in supplying the
demands of the. homo market because
our imports OF articles, manufactured
and ready for consumption, have been
of greater value even than they were
in 1892, whom our ability to purchase
them was SO much greater.
