Steel Tariff Truths.

When the Congressional Committee
investigated the causes leading to the
great Homestead strike they found
that the actual labor cost paid by the
Carnegie company for making a ton
of steel billets or blooms (ingots)
ranged from S1.65 to S1.95, and
its actual protection on those in ques.
ton under the Mckinley law was
S2016.
The lowest protection under the
Wilson law on steel ingots is three
mills per pound, or $G.72 per ton,
and the highest $780, AS per ton, &C.
cordiug to value.
In 1880 the. Bessemer and open.
hearth men reported products of $685.
039 tons, valued at $50, 905, 2l0, ut q
total labor cost of $3.50. 349, or S.
per ton. The report for 1890 has not
vet heen published, and probably
never will be-Mr. Portor made pretty
sure OF that-but wa know that the
labor cost per ton has been "enor-
mouslv" reduced, because wages have
been reduced, but the reduction IN
wages cannot be attributed to free
trade or even q low tariff on steel in
COTS so long as the labor cost in pro-
dncing ton OF them is less than the
81. So and $1.95 quoted to the Con
gresslonal Committee, and the protec-
tive tariff under the present law is not
less than S6.72 and as high as SEQ. as.
The tariff duty on steel ingots is
much higher than the entire amount
paid American labor for producing q
ton. 1t will thus be seen that even if
foreign labor was paid nothing for
making steel ingots the tariff tax IN
der the present law would not permit
them to undersell the ingots made in
this country. The people cannot be
fooled by such balderdash in this cam
pai9n. The new steel pool formed
two weeks ago to control the price of
open-hearth steel will do more dam
age to steel consumers and American
labor than would absolute free trade
in steel.

Folly Of PrOlecliOnism.

The Italian statistician Luigi Bodio,
in letter to the Golden Club, makes
striking exposition of the folly OF
the protectionist aud paternalistic
policy of Continental Europe during
the past twenty years. Great sums
have been spent by the State on rail-
roads and other means of international
commerce, and yet tariff laws have
been framed ingeniously to make in
ternational commerce impossible or
Improbable. TIE real advantage Of
the European manufacturer aud agri-
culturist over his competitors in
America and in toe Orient is In the
abundance OF capital at a low rate OF
interest But this advantage the Gov
ernments of Italy and France have de-
liberaJeiy thrown away. by their
system OF vast and increasing State ez.
penditures, they have so increased
taxation SIS to more than make up for
the lower rates of interest they nave
to pay. What does it profit the
French farmer to be able to borrow
money at 8 per cent. as compared
with the or Z which his American
competitor has to pay, if his taxes IRE
made three or four times what they
used to be, and what they should be,
by lavish public outlay? This, as
Slgnor Bodio aHirms, is one of the
worst forms of socialism, and prevents
industry and agriculture from profit
ing as they might by abundant CAPT
tai aud reduced taxes. New York

There have been only two instances
In our history, says the Atlanta Jour.
nal, in which Presidents OF the United
States we're elected by the House Of
Representatives, and in both cases the
contests in the House we're protracted
and exciting, and the results greatly
aggravated the animcsity between the
opposing political parties. The FIRST
instance was the election OF Thomas
Jeher;on for his first term. According
to the Constitution then in force, the
Presidential Electors voted for two
persons, and the person receiving the
highest vote was to be President, and
the next highest to be Vice. President.
The candidates were THOMAS Jefferson
and Aaron Burr, Republicans, on one
ticket, and John Adams and Thomas
Pinckney, Federa'ists, on the other.

opposing candidates for the peesi-
dency, and Burr and Pinckney for

ton was that to carry out this under.
standing the electors would cast at
least one more vote for the Presiden.
tial candidate of their party than for
the Vice-Presidential candidate. The
Federal electors did this, giving Ad.
ans sixty-fve and Pinckney sixty
four. But the Republican electors
cast seventy,three votes for both JEFF.
Ierson and Burr, thus making a tie
between them and throwing the cleo.
ton into the House. II is probable
that this tie in the Republican cleo.
toral vote was brought about by an
intrigue Of Burr, who hoped that by
throwing the election into the House
he might himself be chosen President,
the Feleralists prefering him to JEFF
ferson. His subsequent career OK.
posed his intriguing, unsorupulous
and desperate character. But the Re.

John Quincy Adams, in 1925. There
we're four candidates for the Presi-

II. Crawford, and Andrew Jackson.
There was no election by the people

OF Adams and Clay united, electing
the former. This resutstoo, caused

MAGNETIZING A WATCH.
How the Electrical Current Affects the
Delicate Mechanism.

The mechanism of watch, such as is
manufactured today. although of very
small dimensions, is very finely executed.
The change of temperature are here
provided against, and the movement
regulates itself automatically. The
main spring and the movement are or
dinarily covered, while the balance wheel
and its spring are completely visible
when the case is open. The good time
keeping depends on the regularity of the
movement of the balance wheel. In
noticing this closely it will be seen that
it is not of one entire ring, but of two
halves, supported by one of their ex-
tremities The half rings carry GER
tain number of large-headed screws,
which, placed at irregular distances,
give it the exact weight and necessary
equilibrium. 1t is seen also by examining
well that these half rings are composed
of two metals. superposed so exactly that
difference of cool alone renders the fact
apparent.
The balance wheel is formed of these
two metals, iron and bronze, because by
reason of their coefficients of expansion
of contraction, different under the in
fuence of changes of temperature, they
permit of the retention of perfect equilib-
rum by this part of the movement, from
winch results regular Time Keeping.
The parts affected by magnetism are
the balance and the springs. The bal
ance in an ordinary watch makes five
movements each second, $4,000 an hour,
100000 a day. But a slight change in
the forces which move it suffices to pro-
duce n difference of several minutes a
day. The balance having an alternate
movement back and forward the mag
netsm of the main spring attracts or re-
pels it. If the attraction or repulsion
was constant and always in the same
direction the watch would run regularly;
but it is not that way. When the main
spring is wound up its magnetic poles
are found in certain position; as it re-
lakes they constantly change place. so
that their attraction or repulsion con-
stantly changes direction. 1t results
from this that the balance turns too fast
at certain moments and too slow at
others.
In the non-magnetic watches that are
manufactured today, their parts are of
non-magnetic metal; they are, therefore,
not affected by magnetism, and persons
who carry these kinds may approach
dynamos without fear of their being
affected in their time-keeping qualities

of late months. This had it's effect on
an Oversold market; trading became quite
active. At one time the market showed
an advance of 10 to II points. A re-
cession occurred later under liquidation.
The firmness of the market was in
creased by the comparative lstless
movement at interior towns, which
showed falling off to point below the
movement of 1893. 1t is expected that
this falling off in the interior movement
will attract the attention of European
cotton spinners, and tomorrow's cables
will be received with the usual interest.
The short interest is now believed to
have been evened up.

MURDER PROMF FED BY A HYP-
NOTJST

An extraordinary case of hypnotic in
fluence has just been dealt with at the
ST. Petersburg criminal court of appeals.
A young lady named Roumyantseff the
only child of n wealthy resident of Var
Yin. had become infatuated with hair
dresser named KrisanfOff. The latter
was giving her n course of massage treat
ment, and together they schemed to kill
the girls father, in order to gain posses
sion of his money. 1t was shown beyond
doubt that the female prisoner deliberate
ly and systematically administered slow
poison to her father, and that neither dur
ing the commission of the crime nor sub
sequently was she at any time afflicted
by remorse. SO ineXplicable was the
girls callousness that experts Zere call
ed by the court to report. When ques-
toned as to the character of the massage
treatment she underwent, Roumyantseff
replied that the hairdresser used sort
of ointment that made her lose all con-
troll of herself. He stared straight at
her. and the effect of his treatment was
to produce sensations of indescribablc
terror. While she was in this condition
he suggested that she should murder her
father. The experts gave their opinion
that the accused was most susceptible
to hypnotic influence, and said that this
explanation of the crime was thoroughly
consistent with scientific evidence, the
more so as even healthy persons under
going massage treatment were liable to
such influence. The prisoner, they add
ed, was nervous and hysterical owing
to worry about the drunken habits of her
parents. In consequence of this testi-
mOny the court reduced the woman's
sentence to five years penal servitude
