The Use OF the Hump.

There are some men in this world
who can answer most any question
that is put to them, and sometimes
when they do not really know what
they are talking about, they will
give answers that are not bad. One of
these persons was once a keeper of the
London Zoo. He was pestered to death
by the questions which people asked,
but he always gave an answer. On a
recent occasion a countryman strolled
in, and after looking c%uriously at the
camel for a few moments, he turned to
the keeper and said:
81 say, what's he have a hump for?"
"What does he have a hump for??" re-
peated the keeper.
Eyes. What's the good of it?" asked
the visitor.
"Why-er-it makes a camel of him,
of course" replied the keeper after
some hesitation. "People wouldn't
travel to see him if he didn't have that
hump. Fact is, without it he might as
we'll be a cow"
The stranger departed very we'll sat-

Some Hidden Power.

During N of the fearful storms
which rage off the coast of IrelaiW. an
exciting scene was witnessed by the in.
habitants Of Queenstown. The waves
were dashing owe the piers which
formed h harbor, and the waters
within 1t were almost as turbulent as
those without. A small fishing vessel
was making for the harbor, but it could
readily be seen that the captain had
no command over his boat. One moment
1t was apparently being lifted out on
to the huge masses of stone work which
form the entrance, and another 1t dis
appeared from view.
AT last came a eliminating point In
the excitement. The vessel, high on the
crest Of a wave, seemed certain to land
with a crash on the Stonework. AND
then. as though some great hand was
guiding 1t, the nose of the boat swung
away from the stone, ran down the
hill of water, and landed safely In the
harbor. The captain, even today, re-
CARDS his escape as due to some hidden
power, and had given himself up for
lost, when he says he felt this giant
hand stretch forth and guide the boat
into safety.

by means of a small ferry boat kept
by an illiterate but good old Christian.
While being rowed slowly over the
river, and the weather being very
windy, the young man o the oppor-
tunity of asking the old man if in that
part they were not very ignorant.
Have you learned how to count the
stars or nave o ever learned the
distance Of the planets?"
mo-" said the old man.
"Then," said the other, "half your life
is gone. did you ever learn etymol-
ogy?"
NO" was the answer.
Then three parts of your life are
gone"
Just then the wind rose very high
and the BOAT was in danger of being
capsizeG.
Look here, young man." said the
ferryman, did you yer learn how to
swim?"
No." said he'
Then" said the boatman, 81 am
afraid the whole of your life is gone"
In a moment the little craft upset
and they both were in the river. The
cd man in his youth had learned to
swim and made for the young student,
and, after a long struggle, landed him
safe on dry land. He looked a pitiable
sight.
Come in the house, young man. said
the ferryman. land dry your clothes. L
thank God that l learnt how to swim,
don't you?"

Canadian Lumber Coming.

The lumbermen of Canada are busy
people. Some 5000, 900 logs have been
RATED into Collingwood for the purpose
of being cut up in the mills there. This
work will provide employment until
fall, when another supply of logs will
be on hand, and all this lumber would
have been cut in Saginaw or Bay City
had protection remained to American
lumber interests. Collingwood is one
of the border towns of the Canadian
lumber industry and there are many
other larger towns where a greater
amount of lumber is cut and sawed.
Free lumber will be of great advantage
to Canada, as also will be the lower du-
ties on barley, live stock, meats, and
vegetables, besides others that are
placed upon the free list. American
democratic free-trade tariff tinkeri1g
is a great thing for the farmers of Gu
tario.

Their Sheepish Policy.

The American sheep farmer and
wool grower pays taxes for township
purposes; pays taxes for county pur-
poses; pays taxes for state purposes;
contributes to the building of churches;
contributes to the support Of the min
.istry; seeks to raise and educate his
children to be useful, Christian people
in the world. His lands are valued at
$25 to $100 per acre. The Australian
sheep grower raises wool on lands
rented for a few cents per acre. He
pays no township taxes; he pays no
state taxes; he pays no road or bridge
taxes; he supports 10 church or other
enlightening institution. He simply
raises wool and now under the new
tariff law he comes into the American
market and completes with the Ameri-
can farmer. This is tariff REFORM
free wool to drive the American farmer
out of business; to reduce him and his
family to want; to rob him of the
thousands of dollars that his sheep
were worth under protection.

Capital and Labor.

In 1860, under the free-trade policy,
$7S5 of capital and $3.50 worth of raw
material gave employment to one hand
who produced SLABS in finished goods.
The value of products over cost of ma
terial was $3.50. Of this sum labor re-
ceived $3.50, or about 441a per cent,
while capital had $3.50, Or about 55R
per cent, for expenses and profit. In
1890, under the protective policy, it re-
quired $1,3S5 of capital and $1,095 in
raw material for each hand employed.
The finished product amounted to
s1,9SS, or 1898 above cost Of material.
Of this amount labor received SASS, or
about 541a per cent, while capital had
$40S, or about 451A per cent, reversing
in the interest of labor the division of
net products. While the capital re-
CURED to keep one hand employed had
to be increased rs per cent from 1860
under a free-trade policy to 1890 under
protection, and the needed raw mate
rial was over one-third greater, the
product of labor was only increased 81
per cent. The increase in earnings
over the cost of material was $243 per
hand. Of this increase labor received
in increased wages $196, while capital
only received SAT as it's share of this
gain. 1t will thus be seen that labor
has secured the greater portion of the
benefits of improved machinery and
methods.

50, 000, 900 less of wheat flour than nine
months previously, and the decline has
been headlong since the enactment OF
the last tariff law, which period en-
braces almost the entire deficit. The
farmer has sold in the Belgian market
5000, 900 less Of wheat, s 1900, 900 less
of beef, and $66, 900 less Of salt beef
The exports Of provisions are 81. zoe, zoo
less than for the preceding nine
months. The decline in the exports OF
butter has been 20 per cent. These are
not theories; they are conditions. They
are not partisan statements; they are
actual facts reported as statistics fur
nished by democratic oficials. The
farmer can see how he is protected"
by democratic tariff reform. He would
prefer a little republican "free trade"
to such protection"

Boys.

Boys, when they are boys, are queer
enough. How many ridiculous notions
they have, and what singular desires,
which in after life change and shape
themselves into characteristics! Who
remembers when he would have
changed his birthright for a rocking
horse, and his new suit Of clothes for a
monkey? Who recollects when the
thought of being a circus rider ap-
peared greater than to be president;
and how jealous he watched the little
fellows that wore spangled jackets and
turned somersets, and prayed to be-
come like them? If memory preserve
not these caprics, or somthing similar,
the boy is lost in the man.

GRAND OLD PARTY.
LIVING TRUTks OF THE RE.
PUBLICAN POLICY.
The Recent Treasury Report Serves as
Another Eye-Opener to the Fellows
Who Voted for Free Trade-Markets

The treasury department made a re-
port of the imports and exports of the
United States a few days ago, showing
how the so-called Wilson law is OPEN
ing foreign markets to the producers of
the United States and how the home
market is expanding at the same time.
The treasury department is looked upon
as reliable authority by some and will
probably be accepted by those who try
to defend the last tariff law. Accord
ing to the report of the treasury depart
ment the exports for March were 1884,
S75,0O7. This looks like a pretty big
bill of goods to sell abroad, but our
books for March of 1894 show that we
sold $7O,607, 500 worth of goods abroad.
This is a decrease of 5 1872, 493 for one
month under the operation of this law,
framed in the interest Of the Ameri-
can people" For the nine months of
the current fiscal year the exports were
$50, 567 160less than for the correspond
ing period a year ago. These are not
very palatable figures for those who
prefer following out a theory to rene
dying a disastrous condition. But if
we were unable to sell as much goods
abroad was it because we were selling
SO much at home and did we buy more
OF the products of our own mills and
factories than formerly under the in
iquitous protective system? Well, not
to any very great extent. The treas
ury department says we didn't. For
the month of March, 1895, the increase
OF imports over the imports for the
same month in the previous year was
s ,739,433, and for the nine months Of
the fiscal year the increase in imports
over the imports for the corresponding
nine months of the previous protective
year was $54, 655 ,433. In other words,
We bought $54, 655 ,433 more of foreign
goods in the nine months of the Wilson
law than we did for the same period
under the Mckinley law, and at the
same time we sold $50, 567 ,166 less of
our goods to foreign countries-a gross
loss of Sal, 222, 500 in about nine
months of this beneficent Wilson bill.
In March of this year we bought $4,-
419,S 500 more goods than we sold; in
March of last year We sold $5,151,S7
more than we bought. That's the diff
ference. That is how the foreign mar
ket is being opened up to the Ameri-
can producer.-Kansas City Journal.

The Farmers Friend.

This is the way the last tariff law
fosters the commerce Of the United
States and opens up the markets of the
world to the American farmer. The cry
of the tariff reformers has been to let
the farmer sell where he can and buy
where he wants to, to tear down the
walls which shut him cut from the
great markets of the worlI. The farm
er has been willing all this time to sell
as much -four to Cuba as he could, for
the miller is but the middle man be-
tween the farmer and the bread eater.
But how has this market been affected
bv the last tariff law? During the first
four months of its operation there were
exported to Cuba 1895 barrels of
flour. During the corresponding period
under the operation of Mr.. Blaine's
reciprocity policy we exported 150,110
barrels of flour, or twelve times as
much as under the last tariff law. Last
month we exported to Belgium $4,000
600 less of breadstuffs than during the
month of March, 1894. During the last
nine months the decrease reached the
enormous sum of SAL ,000, 900 less than
for the corresponding period twelve
months ago. The Belgian trade, which
is or was. one of great commercial i'm
nortance and extensive proportions, is
steadily dwindling under the so-called
WILSON law. Instead of opening the
markets of the world to the farmer the
,ou, &c continually closing them. It is
buildine. not tearing walls down. 1t is
narrowing. and not charging, the ho-
-,xon of the farmers operations. Dur

FayOrite Sons,

The favorite sons are coming to the
front, and each of them deserves to be
a favorite. 1t is meet and proper that
Iowa shall resolve to go to the next ma
tional convention of republicans
pledged to urge and to support the
claims of William B. Allison as a pres
idential candidate. 1t is fit that Maine
shall come as a unit for gallant Tom
Reed. 1t would be in the nature OF the
marvellous were Ohio to come with an
other name than that of Mckinley on
its banners. 1t is not to be expected
that Indiana will come otherwise than
as a force united for Harrison. 1t will
not be strange if Illinois march to the
battle cry of Cullom. Michigan may
come solidly for Alger. And there are
other favorite sons in other states. The
exceeding beauty of the situation is
this, that not an Objectionable name
appears on the roll Of favorite sons. AS
the Kentucky gentleman said, Some
brands are better than others, but, sab,
they are all good" Furthermore,
there is no name that is likely to be
provocative of faction. There have
been times when two men Of nearly
equal strength so swayed a convention
as to make the nomination of either i'm
possible and thus forced the nomination
of a less known and, possibly, a less de-
sirable person. This danger does not
threaten the next convention. No man
as vet stands so pre-eminent as to
cause apprehension of his power to die
tate a nomination in the event of fail
ure to secure it for himself. There is
an unusual quantity of good material
to choose from, the delegates are likely
to come up more evenly divided than
usual, and the prospect is unusually
propitious for a short, happy, and eff
fective session of the national conven-
tion.-Inter Ocean.
