statisticians are never at loss for
something to do, estimating the earth's
population at 1,4Oo, OOO,O 600. One in.
genions fellow has figured that the
brains Of the human race weigh l ,022,-
7l2 tons. This gives an average weight
of forty niue ounces per capita. Ac.
cording to the observations Of physi.
ologists, the average weight Of brain in
IN adult male is forty.eight ounces,
and in q female forty-three ounces,
while at birth it is said to be about
fourteen and twelve ounces, respec-
lively. Something, however, must be
deducted from the above estimate, as
II child's brain at the age OF seven
years averages about forty ounces, and
beyond the age Of forty years the
weight slowly but steadily declines at
the rate OF about one ounce IN ten
years. Moreover, the brains OF idiots
IRE generally much below tie average,
some weighing less than sixteen ounces.
A German biologist hes calculated
that each human brain contains 300,-
000,0 nerve cells, 5000, ZOO OF which
die and are succeeded by new ones
every day.

New South Wales Under Free Trada

The New York Evening Post calls
attention to what has taken place in
New South Wales. This colony,
which for many years had tariff
for revenue only" fell recently into
the hands of the protectionists, who at
once applied their principles. The
results not meeting popular approval,
free trade policy was once more
adopted, OF course amid violent out.
cries against the ruin Of industries,
which in this case had some claim to
to be in their infancy. But so far
ruin has been averted A dock com
pany, which was to go out of bust
ness, is building new and larger
craving dock. The intercolonial feet
is growing "by leaps and bounds" 1t
was predicted that if the duty on
wheat was removed land would go out
OF tillage; but the number of acres
under wheat has increased thus year
by 1876, 900. The indications are that
this year, for the first time, New South
Wales will produce all the wheat it
consumes. The farmers who have
taken up the new lands are immigrants
from the high protection colony Of
Victoria. It is even true, according
to the correspondent OF the London
Times, that no factory Of any kind has
closed its works or reduced its output.
It should be added that this free trade
experiment has resulted, not in de-
foiency Of revenue, but a surplus. As
they have no silver legislation to con-
tend with in New South Wales, and
the cost Of administering the govern
ment has been materially reduced,
this does not seem TO us surprising.
But some of our Republican orators
might probably reflect on The TACT.

But there is a broader aspect of this
matter. In these assertions and sug-
gestions you challenge scrutiny Of
Republican crimes under Harrison.
It is reckless and even a fatal thing
for you to do.
The very mischiefswhich you charge
TO Democratic legislation and Demo
cratic administration have been the
necessary results, the inevitable fruits
OF that orgy which began with Mr..
Harrison's Inauguration and ended
only with his departure from Office
after his crushing defeat by the peo-
pie. AS you were yourself a promi-
nent and influential factor in the
events of that period you must know
this fact as well as we do. Is it fair for
you to ignore it and attribute to Dem
ocratic legislation and administration
results which were unmistakable con-
sequences of Republican misconduct
/. You know perfectly we'll that
when Mr.. Harrison came into Office
Mr.. Cleveland turned over to him q
Treasury full to repletion, with a sur
plus Of more than a hundred million
Of dollars, and with revenue laws pro-
duciDg vastly more money than the
Government needed.
.. You know that at the end Of Mr..
Barrison's term the surplus was ex-
hausted and that there would have
been a deficiency apparent but for
the Juggling of accounts in the Treas
ury department and the wrongful
conversion Of trust fund to illegitj,
mate uses.

In face OF this record it is neither
honest nor polite in you to insult the
intelligence of Democrats whose suf-
frages you ask by attributing toDemo-
cratic legislation and administration
the ills of which your own party was
chief author
1t was not the Wilson law, but the
Republican crimes under Harrison,
that laid the foundations for present
distress and created conditions which
threaten the country with policies of
dishonor.-New York World.

Mr.. Harrison was elected by a mi-
nority vote, even as compared with
that Of his Democratic opponent alone.
The majority Of tho popular vote was
heavily against him. No sooner was
he seated than your party set about
securing his reelection nnd presery-
ing it's control OF the Senate in spite
OF anything the majority Of the voters
might decree.
There we're five Territories that
could be depended upon to elect Re-
publican Senators and give their cleo
toral votes 10 q Republican candidate.
BY dividing Dakotaa Republican Con.
gress made OF these FIVE sparsely pop.
ulated Territories six new Republican
States, with twelve Senators, eight
members of Congress and twenty cleo
toral votes.
Not one OF these States had a pop
ulation fairly emitting it to admis-
sion. Not one of them would have
been admitted except in aid of the
Republican conspiracy to re-elect Mr..
Harrison and to intreneh the Republic
can party in control of the Senate in
spite of the country's will. Inciden-
tally this political crime was expected
to render impossible the repeal of any
legislation the Congress that COM
mitted it might enact. IL was designed
to enable your party to fasten per-
manently on the country that sy stem
Of bounties and favoritism and ex-
travagance which made possible and
profitable the very wrongs and rob
berries against which the free silver
craze is largely misguided protest.

elected with him reduced the revenues,
squandered the surplus, increased the
expenditures, swelled the pension list

gered the country.

There are beautiful churches there,
built during the reign of the Mexican
kings, and down in the wonderfully deep
mines are affairs built for the use of the
ancient miners.

YER and it has employed as many as from
5000 to 5000 men. 1t now employs about
1000 men in the upper levels.
I'm the lower levels and shafts are 800
feet of water. 1t is said that at the bot
tom of the shaft there is thirty feet of rich
ore. All this immense work was accom-
pIished by hand-withouta particle of ma
chinery. 1t is estimated that it would
cost $500,000 to erect pumping plant to
get this water out and keep it out.
"There are driveways for miles zigzag-
ing down into the mine to depth of 1000
feet. 1t is said that at one time an owner
of this mine presented several million dol

crushed every twenty-four hours. At
present they are crushing about $50 tons
OF ore day.
'tThere is an ancient opera house in the
town that cost $1,OO0OOO. 1t is stuck
away up on the rocks. 1t is a beautiful
building of stone of different colors and
has magnificent polished columns. There
are good many bronze statues over

the bottom of the stairs, on both sides OF

properly a tunnel, are mumnltied- bodies.
They are sealed up in the holes on each
side, and they dry up in such way as to
be preserved.

joined the Salvation Army he gave ii all
away. 1t was a great deed. Even his
record of 10, $50 beefsteaks in ten years did
not eclipse il. He came to the conclusion
that as he had made his money in finan-
ciering and mining speculation, and as
they were sinful, he had no right to that
money, and if be kept it he was a robber.
So he gave it away. He did not keep a
