Harrison and McKlnleyism.

In November 1892 the people, mis-
led by Democrats and Mugwumps,
who falsifled facts and figures as
never before had they been falsifled,
voted for "a change. On the 9Th of
December 1892, Mr.. Harrison, then
near the close Of his Presidential
term, reviewed the actual condition
of the country under the operation Of
the Mckinley tariff:
"There never has been a time In
our history when work was SO abund-
ant or when wages were so high,
whether measured by the currency in
which they were paid, or by their
power to supply the necessaries and
comforts Of life. If any believe that
wages or prices, the returns for hon.
est toll, are inadequate they should
not fail to remember that there Is no
other country in the world where the
conditions, that seems to them hard,
would not be accepted as highly
prosperous. The English agricultu-
rist would be glad to exchange the re.
turns of his labor for those of the
American farmer, and the Man.
chester workmen their wages for
those of their fellows at Fall River.
The passage is IN keeping with Mr.
Harrisen's reputation for cautious
accuracy. He declares first that even
In our country there never was a
time when work was so abundant or
wages so high as during what may be
called the Mckinley period, and he
reminds his hearers that what we
call low wages under protection would
be called high wages anywhere else.
Then, as is very unusual to him,
Mr.. Harrison ver tured upon the field
Of prediction. Speaking Of the cleo
tion that resulted in a Democratic
President and Congress, he said:
"That election must be accepted as
having introduced a new policy. We
must assume that the present tariff,
constructed upon the lines of pro-
lection, is to be repealed, and that
there is to be substituted for it tar.
if law constructed solely with ref.
erence to revenue; that no duty is to
be higher because the increase
will keep open an American mill. OF
keep up the wages of an American
workman, but that In every case such
a rate of duty is to be imposed as will
bring to the treasury OF the United
States the largest return of revenue.
The contention lies not between
schedule, but between principle"
AS he predicted, so 1t came to pass.
Work ceased to be plentiful and
wages ceased to be high. Idlenese
sat on the mossgrown steps of the
factory that the hurrying feet of in.
dustry used to tread. The Treasury
Surplus vanished and deficit reigned
in its stead. The pay Of labor was
reduced to European standards; the
price of the products of labor was
greatly lowered. The tariff law con.
structed solely with reference to rev.
enue" was enacted, as Mr.. Harrison
predicted. But 1t did not produce
revenue sufficient to meet the ex.
penses of the government. The ma.
tional debt, which had steadily de.
creased under protective tariff. was
increased by hundreds Of millions in
consequence of the loans that the
Democratic tariff made necessary. :

Encounter With a Yak.

The yak, or wild OK, Of Tibet has
sufficient spirit to turn and attack a
hunter. 1t might prove formidable
antagonist if it had more perseverance.
Colonel Prejevalsky, in his account of
travels in the Tibetan mountains, de-
scribes an adventure which illustrates
the yak disposition. Though he hunted
yaks often, this was the only time that
the matter threatened to become serious
for him.
81 was returning to my camp" he
writes, "when I saw several old yaks
grazing Oh little plateau l fired on
them, and one fell and slipped down the
snowy slope. Stunned by his fall, he lay
motionless at the bottom of the ravine.
I ran to him. AS soon as he saw me,
some hundred feet from him, he rose
and tried to flee. fired, but the ball
did not touch him.
"Then he turned and rushed at me. I
