TALKED OF MISSIONARY WORK.
Sunday Proceedings of the Pan
American COnUreSs


TORONTO, Ont, July 21.-The pro-
ceedings of the Pan-American con-
gress today were confined to meeting
in Massey hall, where missionary
Work and Effort was the subject
of the speeches. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Rev. Father Ryan, rec
tor of ST. Patrick's cathedral, of To-
ronto. After prayer had been offered
up by Rev. George gibson Workman,
of Toronto, Father Ryan remarked to
the audience that while he had been
asked to 1sad in prayer and refused,
still he had heard nothing in any of
the prayers offered that any good
Roman Catholic could take exception
to. He thought this meeting in which
all the Christian denominations were
represented was the most significant
of the convention as it showed that
prejudices, intolerance and bitterness
had disappeared forever from To-
ronto.
An address on the problem of modern
missions was. then delivered by Rev.
Charles S. Eby, of Toronto. His was
a protest against the curtailment of
foreign missions. The second address,
on Roman Catholic Missions" was de-
livered by Very Rev. Dean w. r.
Harris, OF st. GATHERINGS. After giving
a description of the educational train
ing of Catholic missionaries, Dean
Harris described the methods of work
and referred to the many missionary
martyrs of the church. He COM
puted the missionary population of the
world at two hundred and fifty mill
| ions. Prof. Clark, of Toronto univer-
| sity, seconded by Dean Harris, here
1 ;,,tr Il
| that the convention acknowledged
| much thankfulness for the first meet
| ing here of the congress of religion
| and education and hoped that the good
| work might be carried on. This was
| enthusiastically passed. Rev. J. T.
! Grace, d. D., president International
Missionary union, of Rochester, closed
| the meeting with an address on "Pro-
| testant Missions"

a Wooden Leg May Kick.

Rochester Union and Advertiser.
Messrs. Dickinson and Carpenter, OF
Wheatland, paid visit this morning,
to Clerk Slocum, of the supreme
court. Mr.. Dickinson assaulted Mr.
Carpenter with his wooden leg, and the
question for decision was whether such
ASSAULT came under the head of an as
'tault with a deadly weapon or with
the kick of the foot. The disputants
wagered the sum of S. on the result.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Slocum, my
mind is made up. After consulting
numerous authorities 1 have come to
the following decision: 1t appears,
there being no direct evidence to the
contrary, that the assault was COM
a wooden one need not enter into the .
discussion at all. / find, therefore, that
Mr.. Dickinson is entitled to the stakes,
and take peasure in handing them to
him now"
Messrs. Dickinson and Carpenter de-
parted for home in a Democrat wagon
gayly decorated with flags, the best OF
friends.

COMPETITION WILL CONTROL.

The railroads of the country are
looking to the Fifty-fourth congress
to pass the act that was. defeated
in the Fifty-third, which will permit
them to make mutual contracts
pooling their earnings, and Which
can be enforced in courts of law.
A week or so ago the presidents of
the main lines of the country met in
New York city for the purpose Of
attempting to again form a gen
tlemen's agreement" by which the
agreed rates of transportation would
be maintained, and competition, and
rate-cutting would become a thing
of the past. There was present at
the meeting one of the eminent
financiers of the country, represent
ing the owners of large blocks of
railway securities, who advised the
presidents that the agreement made
must be strictly complied with, and
if it were not they would hear from
the people whose investments were
in their charge.
The news in railroad circles indi-
Gates that this latest ''gentlemen's
agreement" is already in a very
shaky condition, and that it bids fair
to share the fate of all Of its prede-
cessors. This does not prove that the
word of railroad presidents is more
friable than-is that Of ordinary peo-
pie, but it does indicate that the law
Of competition is greater than the
agreement of men. Should the pool
ing bill pass, there is abundant rea-
son to question if it will be of suffi-
cient force to overcome the law Of
competition. All other efforts direct
ed to the same end have proved
futile to accomplish their purpose
| and there is no such extraordinary
virility in railway organizations as
to assure success to them.
In spite of the continuous efforts
of congress to prevent and stifle
competition in International trade,
it has grown steadily stronger and
stronger. We have seen in recent
years great combinations of capital
| formed to monopolize certain indus
tries, and have also seen them dis
rupted by the force of competition.
Even where they have gone to the
wall through the dishonesty of man
ayers, the dishonesty itself was but
the competitive effort of some to
obtain from their fellows a greater
share of the profits of the enterprise
With the law of competition uni
versal in nature, and one of the in
herent forces of human association,
we doubt whether the agreements
of gentlemen" the contracts of
trusts, or the will Of congress can
stay it's operation.

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARMS.

If electricity has invaded and di-
unfinished the profits of husbandry
by largely decreasing the demand
for horses, the farmer can avenge
himself by making his present enemy
his future servant, and compelling
it to perform much of the labor on
the farm now done either by man
ual labor or horse power. While in
this country this new motive power
SO far has been mostly confined in
its application to transportation and
manufacture, in foreign countries it
has been experimental with to ascer-
tain its adaptability to farm work.
In SaXony it was applied to field
blowing; and, while it did the work
successfully, it was found that the
cost was about $3.50 an acre, ex-
ceeding the cost of the work when
done by men and horses. One i'm
portant fact, however, was devel-
oped, in the demonstration that it
was less wasteful of power than
! were the steam motors. The cleo
trically driven gang of plows wasted
but 43 per cent of the power gen.
Grated, while the waste in the steam
motor was 65 per cent. If this diff
! ference holds true in all other appli-
cations of this motive power, the
! mere economy of mower in the Use
of electricity will be in itself an i'm
mense source of wealth-saving.
While there is no probability, and
one might safely say possibility, OF
the entire displacement of the horse
in farm work, the advantages of the
| substitution of electrical power
wherever possible are so many ant
| so great that we have no doubt

Woe Laid to the wheel.

The latest charge brought against
the bicycle is that it Injuries the book
sellers trade. Books never have the
same sale in summer as in winter, de-
spite the fact that paper-covered
novels are in demand by the loungers
on the seashore; but this year there
preston in the trade. The wheelman
is blamed for this, as it is logically
argued that while indulging in his
favorite pastime he cannot possibly be
reading book, and that when he gets
home from his spin he is too tired to
read. AS the cycling craze is con-
stantly increasing the result of its
growth upon literature would make an
interesting study.

POTTERY, WAGES AND TARIFF!

A contemporary, whose distinction
is the number of things it don't
know, notes the revival in the manu-
facture of pottery in this country at
East Liverpool, in Ohio. The pot
teries have been idle since the pas
sage of the German tariff until this
week, it says, when three-fourths of
them started up on full time, and
the rest are running part of the time.
Anxious to forestall any credit that
might be claimed by the Democrats
that this revival is due to Demo-
cratic legislation, it informs its read
erS that it is not, but that that leg
islation gave it it's black eye. The
pottery men, it says, give as the true
reason that, Gin order to renew oper-
ations at all, and prevent their fac
tories from remaining Indefinitely
idle, they were compelled to cut
prices to the level of those of i'm
ported goods under the new reduced
temporary, how friendly the Demo-
cratic revenue reformers are to the
American workingman.
We are of one opinion with our
contemporary in it's last statement.
The American workingmen, who
vastly exceed in numbers the manu-
facturers of pottery, will certainly
not regret the reduction of the cost
of their pottery. But the really in
teresting part Of this confused jum-
! BILE of statement and deduction, is
the reason assigned by the pottery
men for resuming. They have been
compelled to reduce the price of
their wares to a point where they
| could compete with the foreign i'm
! ported ware, increased in cost by
| the duty imposed. The average ad
| valorem tariff on their products I'M
| der McKinleyism was 60 per cent,
which was reduced by the present
! act to 35 per cent, making a reduc-
! ton of a little over Il per cent. I'm
der the present law the cost Of ev-
cry hundred dollars worth of pot
terry imported is increased $35 by
the tax, making its cost $135. The
is not giving us another piece of
transformation, admit that, for ev-
cry hundred dollars worth of their
ware, they add this thirty-ffVe dol
lars of protection so as to bring their
| price up to the level of that of their
competitors; in other words, the pot
they are taking, as they have taken
to themselves the entire benefit OF
the protection afforded.
Apropos of this, and illustrating
the "paralyzing effect" of the latest
tariff act, we have the case of a
Trenton, New Jersey, pottery which
on Jan. 10, 1891, three months after
the passage of the Mckinley act
proposed to its employees a reduc
ton of SO 1-3 per cent of their wages
The men went on a strike, which
lasted until April 80 that year
when reduction of % per cent wa.
accepted, but was followed on Ma.
IA by a further reduction of Z pc,
cent. On June 16, of this year, tn,
same firm, under this 'black-eye'
tariff, increased the wages of its en-
ployes from 10 to 40 per cent. TIL
effect, then, of the reduction in TIL
tariff is only to reduce the profit
of the employers and increas
wages, while the effect of the Nc
Kinley act was to increase tn
profits and decrease wages. We agre
: that the comparison does show ''hoy
r friendly the Democratic tariff re
l formers are to the American work
t ingmen.'

ONE CAUSE OF THE DEFICIT.

ONE CAUSE OH THE DEEIClT.
Instead Of being criticised for the
deficiency of the revenue for the last
fiscal year, the administration de-
serves great credit for having been
able to close it's accounts with a
balance against il even less than
had been expected. The failure Of
receipts from the income tax is an
item which few take into account.
The operations of the government
were all based upon the assumption
that the income tax law was valid,
and that receipts from it could be
counted with certainty as a part
of current revenue. The decision
of the supreme court has inter-
fered with this, and made a big
hole in treasury receipts. Accord
ing to the statements made by the
internal revenue bureau, returns
had been sent in before the decision
that represented about SIS, 100000 Of
receipts. These returns did not in
clude more than one-half of the total
amount of incomes liable to be taxed.
The entire receipts, even under the
law as it stood after the first de-
cision of the court, would, therefore,
have been $30,00O,0OO. But that origi-
nal decision, eXempting rents and
tied the scope of the law as it was
intended by congress, and cut off,
it is estimated, still another $15, 000,-
900. If, then, the income tax law, as
it passed both houses, had remained
in full force, the treasury receipts
would have been increased by $45,-
100000, at least, over what they are.
No matter whether the principle
underlying the law was a good or a
bad one, the effect of its overthrow
upon revenue is the same. The fact
is that the administration, aSsum-
ing, as it must, that all the acts of
the last congress were valid, could
count with certainty upon a revenue
in the neighborhood of $50, 600, 900
from the income tax. It's estimates
were made out and it's operations
planned upon this assumption. The
cutting off at one blow of $50 200, 900
of revenue is a tremendous loss.
Any business concern would find
it almost impossible to meet it's
obligations if it's regular receipts
were curtailed in any such pro-
portion. The treasury is obliged to
meet demands upon it which were
legaliZed when it was supposed that
the income tax receipts would be
available, out of fund from which
those receipts have been subtracted.
In other words, the decision of the
supreme court created an immedi-
ate deficit of $50,OO0,O0O, unless that
account could be made UP by in
creased receipts from other sources,
or made good by additional econ
omy and retrenchment. Since this
| is the difficult and unexpected prob
lem which the treasury has been
| forced to solve by the decision of the
supreme court, great credit is re.
fiected upon Mr.. Carlisle for such
an administration of our finances
as has prevented it from being a
more serious matter than it is
| Were it not for the splendid manage
ment of this administration, and fol
the constantly growing increase OF
receipts under the new tariff law
as business revives, this unforeseen
| deficit would have embarrassed the
government so seriously that a new
bond issue might very likely have
been necessary.

1t should also be remembered that,
at most, the verdict of the people in
November, 1894, while a condemna tion
of the Democratic party, was a con-
demnation for it's failure to bring re-
lief under laws and conditions of Re-
publican making; in effect, because
the Democrats had. not undone in a
single year what the Republicans had
done in thirty years. 1t was not an
endorsement of the Republican party,
by any means; but the Republican
party having had its plate turned up,
caught what dropped. All parties
often misinterpret the ballots of the
