a gain of 5i.000,OG0 pounds in the
American production of tin plate in
the first year OF the new tariff is fact
of the greatest possible interest to Mr..
William Mckinley. u shows him that
he has not laborcd in vain. The
prayers he made for The preservation
of the infant tin plate industry have
zen answered The .l.,uonratic tariff
...w abolished the absurd Mckinney
duty OF four cents Il pound on tin ore
and redaccd the duty on tin plate one
huff. Twenty-six pew mills which
have begun operation in a single year
will come very near increasing the total
annual output to an equality with the
total annual consumption. In a few
years from now we may be exporting
tin plate instead Of buying it.
Mr.. Mckinley's organs are obliged
to admit the facts, but thev eSplain
that the increase is the result of
duties high enough to protect
which is something quite different
from their frantic assertions of 1894
that democratic success would bank
rupt the tin plate mills already in
operation and make the opening OF
others impossiblr.
Ii is evident tha! Mr. Mckin1cy's or

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; cifectualiy cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

APIOUS INSECT.

There are men who 60 to church on
Sunday and rob an orphan on Monday;
they can prey forgiveness for one sin,
while they are plotting to execute
another. They never look so virtuous
as when they are arranging to overreach
neighbor. These men have their
counterpart in little insect. That in
sect is one of the most rapacious on
earth. When half dozen are Matched
together as grubs, they begin to fight,
and the strongest one eats his brothers.
When they develop into perfect insects,
they are cruel, tricky and voracious..
But nevertheless they have most
pious look, and when about to spring
upon their prey they actually look as if
they were about to offer up prayer, In
France they are held sacred, and the
savages of Africa worship them. The
Greeks call them 'Mantis Religiosa," !"

for believing that the measure under considcra-
ton will produce a great and beneficial change.
