Mckinley. speeche..

Mr.. Mckinley is not leaving his home
10 make speeches. but ne is. nevertheless,
making = good many. Every few days
a delegation Of some sort visits Canton
and gives him a chance TO talk. and some
OF the speeches ne makes Will not bear
careful analysis
He is sim under the impression that the
tariff is the important issue in the cam
paign. Hence he devotes a large part Of
his speeches TO that subject Whatever
reputation he has was gained ia cOnnec-
ton with the tariff law that bears his
name. but he seems 10 have forgotten
that the people. by an overwhelming ma
jority. repudiatcd that tariff two years
after il was enacted. The present tariff is
as protective as any tariff the country ever
had. except the Mckinley tariff, and is
better revenue raiser than that tariff was.
IL is also a better tariff in another impor-
tant respect 1t enables our manufacturers
TO export more Of their products. We are
exporting a far greater volume Of manu-
featured products now than when the Nc
Knley tariff was in force, and. that. too.
Notwithstanding the prevailing business
and Industrial depression.
AS for wages. are they not as high as
they We're under the Mckinley tariff? We
are certain they are. Then why does Mr..
Mckinley continue 10 discuss the tariff?
He knows that by raising the tariff more
revenue win not be obtained. The chief
object of a high protective tariff is TO
shut out imports and the shutting out Of
imports reduces the revenue.
Maj. Mckinley appears to be a mono
maniac on the subject of the tariff. Prob
ably it is because he thinks he knows
more about the subject than any other
that he talks so much about it, BY this
time he ought 10 be satisfied that the
people are not at present interested in
the tariff. 1t is the money question about
which they are concerned. In proportion
as he discusses that matter will his
speeches prove interesting.

There has been recently a considerable
fall in the price of silver. The reason of
this is apparent. 1t is estimated that the
output this year will reach the enormous
amount of $4,000 900 ounces. Last year the
output was 16S, 100000 ounces In 1873. the
output was only 100000 ounces. Since
1873, therefore, the annual output of sill
yer has nearly doubled and, that too. in
the face of a constantly falling price
An interesting question is what would
the output be if this country should open
its mints to free silver coinage? If silver
can be mined at profit now, it could be
mined at a stiu greater profit then. be-
cause the cost of labor. which is the great
est expense in the production of silver.
would be reduced about one-half For
instance. to pay the wages of a laborer
who gets Sl.OO a day, it now requires
about an ounce and a half of silver Tn
der free silver coinage it would require
only ABOUT three-quarters of an ounce
with such an increase in the profts of
silver mining the output would undoubt-
edly be increased very greatly.

He Wnnted q License.

For many years Norris Solmonson has
issued the marriage licenses in the county
clerks office, says the Chicago Record.
He sits at a window on the first floor of
the county building. The sign above is
meant to direct the public, but the corpu-
lent man with the red nose did not stop
to read it.

he asked.
Yes. sir replied the clerk.

"Ah, I see. Well. the dog licenses are

The man looked up a the sign. He
made a few remarks in criticism of the
Cook county method of doing business and
went away.

The Pennsylvania railroad offers a prize
Of an annual pass to the farmer on its
route who is the most successful in beau
flying his grounds adjoining its lines. The
idea embodied in this offer might well be
worked upon by the railroads of Georgia,
Florida and South Carolina Throughout
the south generally, and in these three
states especially, the prospect from a car
window is not very encouraging to the
home seeker. The railroads pass through
miles and miles Of exceedingly cough
looking country, whereas as a matter of
fact. the soil is rich and productive, and
home sites upon IL could be made beauti-
full
The development of the fruit and melon
Industries along the lines of the Plant
system shows what can be accomplished
by a railroad when it starts in with the
determination to benefit the people of its
tributary territory Thousands of dollars
have been added to the value Of the lands
in the fruit belt. and thousands of dollars
per year have been added to the income
Of the section by these efforts. Other
railroads in the state have done much of
the same kind of good work.
The Pennsylvania system. as a matter
of course, has a selfish interest in offer
ing a prize for improvements along its
lines The better a section looks. the more
people it will attract; the more people it
attracts the more will be the development
Of the section, and increased development
means increased production, more freight
and passenger traffic, and consequently
more income for the road. At the same
time, while the road is working for its
own interests, 1t is contributing to the
| comfort and independence of the people.
| Persons living along the lines are spurred,
/ by the offer of a prize, to greater efforts
in the way of making their homes beau
| tiful or their lands productive. Whether
they win the prize or not, they have the
increased value of their possessions as a
reward for their efforts. Their pride is
stimulated. and they go on from year to
year making Improvements. These i'm
provements do not escape the watchful
eyes of people who are looking for a de-
sirable place in which to settle, and i'm
migration of the class most wanted is in
duced where home life appears to be at
| tractive and comfortable. Well kept
houses and grounds betoken thrift and
prosperity. and desirable immigrants seek
communities that present these outward
signs.

Cnndensed Poetry.

paper maxim, but even newspaper max

says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Charles Metcalf, who has been writing
advertisements for drama in New York
city, had an unpleasant experience in con-
nection with a compositor of one of the
great daiiies in that city. Metcalf wrote
a poetical advertisement, as follows:
From half past eight till half past ten,
You laugh and laugh and laugh again. -
Imagine his surprise when a matter-of-
fact compositor set up the advertisement
and it appeared:
From $50 to 1870
You laugh and laugh and laugh again"

Edison ON Aeronautics.

1t is not generally known that Mr.. Edi-
son is greatly interested in aerial naviga-
tion, and has made several experiments
with flying machines, says the Electrical
Review. He keeps in close touch with the
progress Of inventors in this line of re-
search and reads everything on the sub.
ject he can lay his hands on. In an in
terview he is quoted as saying: Il regret
ted very much to learn of Herr Lilienthal's
death. I considerer him among the
foremost eXperimenters in aerial naviga-
tion. Prof. S. p. Langley is also doing
some splendid work in earonautics." In
reply to the question as to what he was
doing towards the solution of the flying
machine problem, he said: We'll, 1 try ar

From the NASHVILLE American Oem.)

Mr.. Harrison devoted his remarks to
the silver question, advancing the claims
that business Reorganization uncertain
ty, fluctuating currency and unstable
values would follow as well as the driving
of gold from use and circulation.
He merely alluded to the tariff. claiming
that the republicans had won the tariff
victory, and that high protection was not
now an issue. In this he differed from Mr..
McKinleys words, for Mr.. Mckinley de-
voted the greater part of his letter to an
earnest and pressing demand for all re-
pubicans TO rally AROUND the flag of Nc
Kinleyism and more high tariff taxes.

Hon. William Elliott of the First South
Carolina district, whose seat in the pres
ent congress was stolen by the republican
majority and bestowed upon a negro, has
been unanimously renominated for the po-
sition. Although he IS a gold standard
democrat and an admirer of President
Cleveland, the Tnlmanites did not put out
a candidate against him. but joined with
the anti-Tillman democrats to vindicate
Col Elliott and rebuke the republicans of
the House. The First is what is known as
the black district of South Carolina. and
includes the city of Charleston. Notwith-
standing the black voters are in the ma
jority, the district can be made democratic
by unremitting hard work. The black peo-
pie know Col. Elliott and honor him.
They have voted for him in the past and
they will do it again. It is to be hoped
that he viii go back to Washington with
such a majority that his election cannot
be successfully questioned.
