Rest for American Labor.

While President Cleveland was very
timid in his reference to the tariff and
tariff reform, or free trade, in his last
message to Congress, his Secretary of
the Treasury, Hon. J. g. Carlisle,
bobbed up as semi apologist, and
his remarks, coming as they do from
leading disciple, are interesting.
He said:
''The raw materials used in the pro-
duction of commodities for the use of
the people in their homes and in their
various industrial pursuits should be
free from taxation, in order that the
burdens of labor may be lightened.
Mr.. Carlisle is extremely frank and
honest, much more so. in fact, than
the gentleman who sits at the head of
the cabinet meetings. Mr.. Carlisle
free from taxation; SO do many other
free traders, but they do not study
the reason why raw material should
be free with anything like the frank
ness of the Secretary of the Treasury,
who gives the reason ''in order that
the burdens Of labor may be light.
ened."
OF course, when our raw materials
are free from taxation and are free
from a tariff duty, they will be i'm
ported from foreign countries, where
labor costs next to nothing, being
brought over here in most instances
as ballast. free of freight charges.
'"The burdens of labor" may be light
ened in this country under such cir
cumstances, and every dollars worth
of raw material that we get from
abroad must mean 80 much less raw
material supplied in this country. ur-
less the American wage earners con-
sent to take the miserable pittance that
is paid to the men and the women who
work in the European mines or to
work longer hours for the same money
that they are now receiving. But IN
this case 1.-THE burdens OF labor" would
not be 'lightened. They wonld bs

Me intention of Secretary Carlisle
that American raw material should be
used in making American goods. He
wants to import raw material from
abroad "in order that the burdens OF
labor might be lightened" by afford
ing less employment for labor in this
country. In other words, he desires
that American labor should take rest.

Usefulness OF Diamonds.

Diamond powder and chips, and
even the finest dust, are of great value
in the mechanical arts. Brazilian
diamonds are now put to novel and
interesting use. A thin disk of steel,
seven feet in diameter, has spaces at
intervals of about one and one-halt
inches. These spaces are filled in with
pieces of steel that exactly fit, and
into these are set the diamonds fixed
in countersunk screw-heads They
are arranged in groups of eight, and
are SO placed that they do not follow
one exactly after the other in the cut,
but each line takes its own course.
This circular saw is used for cutting
up blocks of stone, aud 80 efficient is
it that in less than two and one-half
years it has to cut out four hundred
and twenty thousand square feet of
stone, at Il cost Of a trihe less than
two cents square foot. In this time
it has been necessary to renew twenty
of the teeth, the average cost of which
has been about two dollars per tooth.

A damage suit, in which the Jury
found for the plaintiff, has been closed
in the st. Louis County Court, at
Clayton, Mo-. which, it is believed, has
no precedent in the courts of the
United States or England. The case
was one, relates the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, in which a father claimed and got
q verdict for $4,000 for the death of
his son, who was killed by railroad
train. 1t was proved that the boy was
standing alongside the track when the
train rushed by at high rate ofspeed
and that he was hurled to the ground
aud forced under the cars by the cur
rent of air made by the swift motion
Of the train. Deep interest has been
manifested in the peculiar and new

which in the higher courts is likely TO

LABOR'S CRY FOR PITY.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
AND PERFORMANCES.

Workingmen Have Been Betrayed by
the Party Of Deceit and Destruc-
tion-Vanished Markets In Ex-
change for Former Prosperity.
God pity our poor workingmenl
Yes, pity them for the cruel position
they find themselves in. Deluded and
misled to believe that o change in
the Government would not only give
them constant labor at advanced
prices, their aching hearts were, in
fancy, soothed by seeing in their
imaginations the wealth from the pock-
cts of the rich rapidly becoming
their own. 1t proved worse than q
dream. Pity them for being led to
believe that their wives and their chill
dren could then wear better clothing
and sit down to better meals. Pity
them for all this; but let the party OF
deceit and destruction beware, for at
the next Presidential election the bal
lots of laboring men will be arrayed
in such overwhelming numbers as
never before against Democracy, Free
Trade, Good Times, Soup Houses, or
whatever name its friends wish to be
buried in. Those ballots will be cast
for the party that sprung into exist
ence in Lincoln's time, for the party
that saved our Nation when it was
divided against itself, and carried it
along through those four years of
bloodshed. and which has been con-
trolling our Government from that
time till 1892. The party took con.
troll in the most trying time of United
States history, but she left us the
most prosperous Nation on the face Of
this earth.
That we have been deceived by vot-
ing into power the free trader is
proved at a moments thought. 1t is
so plain that fool, though blind, may
see it. Where are our markets gone?
When the farmer takes his we'll fed
beeves, his grain, produce or fruit to

prices? They have vanished in ex-
change for Democratic promises, and
the farmer must be content with one
half the amount of cash, plus the
knowledge that the sooner he can
bid his good friend Grover an ever
lasting farewell, the sooner will he be
prosperous again. Where is the

Diamonds Are Hard.

After perfect rubies and emeralds,
and perhaps after great pearls, comes
the diamond in value. This, too, has
a range of colors, the most priced be-
ing red, blue, green and water white,
while brown or gray tinges are not
quite so highly esteemed. The Koh-i-
Moor, Of 1929 carats, ranks low in point
of size with some of the worlds great
stones-for instance with the Great
Mogul, 279 carats in weight. Diamond
is the hardest mineral known, brittle
though it be; acids do not effect it,
aud it is also the only combustible
gem. 1t has high refractive and dis.
persive powers ("fire"), and some
specimens become phosphorescent by
the action of light. It usually occurs
