First Bill.

The first protective tariff bill was passed
by Congress in 1889. This measure was
signed by President Washington on July
18th. The fact that the bill was en-
acted on the nations birthday, coupled
with the fact that its preamble declared,
encouragement and protection of manu-
factures," led protectionists of later
day to style it the second Declaration Of
Indenendence"

Pure Water will Not Rust Iron

1t is said that perfectly bright iron
and steel will not rust in absolutely
pure water. Carbonic acid or some sim
liar agent must be present. In any case
iron or steel highly polished will resist
corrosion for a long time, but when the
rust once starts it spreads rapidly over
the surface. The purer iron is, the more
easily it will rust-NeW York Sun.

BUSINESS SHRINKS.
Midsummer Rest Has Set In
in Earnest.
Not All Industries However Are
Affected.
TOPEKA STANDS WELL
In Business Increase as Shown
by Bank Clearings.
'OPEKA STANDS WELL

New YORK, Aug. 24.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
The volume Of business shrinks, as is
natural in August, and the shrinkage
seems rather larger than usual, be-
cause transactions in July were some
what inflated for that month. Some
industries are doing more than ever
before in August, and the prospect for
fall trade is good in others, although
much depends on the crops, and the
outcome is less clear than the specula-
tors on either side are disposed to ad-
nit. Industrial trou bles have not en-
tirely ceased, but during the past week
have become much less threatening.
The price of wheat has fallen 81
cents during the week, recovering a
fraction on Thursday, in spite of all
efforts to hold back supplies from
farms and to encourage buying.
Wheat ought to go abroad freely at
present prices. but Atlantic exports,
flour included, have been only |, 352,-
Coz bushels for the week, against
1854, 764 last year, and for four weeks
only 4, 348, 632 bushels, against 1887
447 last year.
Impressive stories of short crops
abroad have little weight in the pres
ence of such a record, and the Austen
ton OF foreign purchases proves more
effective than the withholding OF
wheat by western farmers Natur-
ally the ifty-seven cent wheat of the
Pacific coast still goes forward freely
in place of the Atlantic supplies.
Corn has also declined four and one
half cents, while pork and lard, with
accustomed inconsistency, rise a shade
as corn declines.
Cotton has advanced a fraction, to
IT'S cents, without any definite change
In crop prospects, and as usual the i'm
mense volume of stock carried over,
in mills and commercial hands, here
and abroad, about 5000, 600 bales
American, is by most traders not APP
preciated. It is a relief to the great
industry and in which the enormous
orders placed some weeks or months
ago cause a phenomenal activity for
the season.
In iron, Notwithstanding some I'M
easiness because the output has
greatly increased, heavy purchases by
two leading companies have advanced
the price of Bessemer so cents, and a
new com binatiOn has raised galvan-
lied barbed wire to 81. 80, while COM
binations are being formed in wire
rods and common wire, and advance in
prices is expected. Other prices are
unchanged, and the new orders for
iron and steel products are not at
present large.
In cotton goods the demand is rather
more active, with the price of the raw
material advanced No marked change
appears in demand for wooden goods,
but there is increasing apprehension
shown by agents regarding the extern
sive sales of foreign woolens.
Failures for the week have been 222
in the United States and 43 in Canada.

without information themselves, are
inclined to discredit the information in
the dispatch.
Acting Secretary McAdoo said it was

another high naval officer said that
there was an evident intention on the
part of Great Britain in the whole Ku
Cheng affair to get the United States
government to pull chestnuts out of
the fire, and pointed to the fact that
there did not seem to be any anxiety
on the part of Great Britain to land
troops or to be in undue haste to force
an explanation.

DISCUSS THE BIG FIGHT.
Texas Governor and Sheriff Caben Try
to Settle the Problem.

to Settle the Problem.
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. Ex-Governor
Cu1berson has made public some cor
respondence between himself and
Sheriff Cabel1 of Dallas county, anent
the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight. The
correspondence was opened by Gov
ernor Culberson interrogating the
sheriff as to whether he intended to
abide by the decision of Attorney Gem
eral Crane, holding the prize fighting
law valid, or as to whether it was his
intention to exercise all the power
vested in him to prevent the fight.
Sheriff Cabell's reply is that, while he
did not ask for the opinion he is will
ing to abide by it and will. He cites,
however, that the criminal statute de-
fining prize ghting makes it a misde-
meanor and not felony and asks the
governor, under such circumstances,
would he be justified in using such
force as may be necessary, even if it
required the shooting down of citi-
zens, and would the governor advise
such proceedings?
In reply to CabeQ's letter the gov
ernor says: ''At the proper time, hat
force may be necessary and deemed
expedient to guard against failure
will be used to prevent this proposed
infraction of the laws of the state"
Cabells interrogatory as to whether
the governor would sanction shooting
of citizens was rather a hard shot for
Texas young governor" and he very
promptly replied that he would not at
tempt to answer the question. but
would refer it to the attorney general
for his legal opinion, which will be
forthcoming shortly.
