THE RIGHT TARIFF.

By Hon. Daniel Agnew, of Beaver.
Importation may give the citizen a few
articles OF cheaper clothing, much Of 1t
shoddy, but all the great volume Of the
maintenance and comfort of himself and
his family. is bound up in the grand
mass and sum total of his country's in
dustry and affairs. The doctrine of O. tariff
for revenue only is so contrary to history,
so false to ourselves, SO full of blight and
ruin, so disloyal, Il cannot have the con-
sent of sound reason, of patriotism, or
good sense. 1t is but the perpetuated
dogma of sectionalism and slavery. What
we need Is neither a high nor low tariff,
but a sufficient tariff--one which protects
every leading manufacturer, to enable It
to compete successfully with its foreign
rival. These words, high and low tariff.
are misleading terms, and enable carping
free traders to take advantage of errors
in the degree of duty and charge high
duties, as favoritism, The duty should
be high enough to protect the industry to
be fostered and so low as not to give il
too great advantage. 1t is protection, not
great profit, which is to be reached
Great>proht is not protection, but undue
favor. So the manufacturer should noN
be protected at the expense of the farmer
the land owner and the laborer.

yAGARIEs OF THE MEMORY.
One Man Had to Get Drunk in Order
to Remember.

From the st. James Gazette.
Men have. been known to leaye home
for a few days, commit some serious
crime and return, quite oblivious of
what they had done. Very interesting
is the case, so common among soldiers
who have forgot 4 battle and who
when it is over cannot recall the events
for several hours. The same thing
happens to those who have escaped
from shiowrecll and TO aeronauts who
have Just descended from the clouds.
This is the temporary loss due to strong
emotion. Then there are curious eX-
amples of temporary loss of memory
owing to fatigue.
Sir Henry Holland when down mine
in the Har3 mountains and suffering
from fatigue completely forgot his Ger
man and could not remember q word
Of it until he had rest and refreshment
after ascending. We all experience
this in a less degree. Sometimes 1t Is
an injury which causes the blank in
the backward gaze. An English pro-
fessor once received q violent blow on
the head and at once forgot all his
Greek and musician lost all memory
of music from the same cause. Mr.
Whynlper in his book on the Alps tells
how he fell over q frightful precipice,
200 feet high, with the result that his
past was for a time wholly blotted out
Of his memory.
The most singular cases OF memory
loss are in connection with language.
1t is quite common in our hospitals to
see a sick German unable to speak a
nr1 nf hn liSh hn ho fuhl "
mastered.
a clergyman some time ago lost all
recollection of words, but he could still
remember the letters of which they
were composed and could express his
ideas freely by spelling the words. An
officer suffered from a slight attack of
apopleXy and as a result forgot all but
a very few words. When he tried to
speak he merely uttered nonsense, but
IL q book or manuscript were handed
to him he read it with perfect propri-
ETY.. One of the most extraordinary Of
all memory losses is when person
forgets how to write with his right
hand, but still has the power to do so
with his left hand. In such a case after
he has written with his left hand the
desired sentence he can copy 1t with
his right hand.
When the memory OF words is grad
ually lost 1t invariably progresses in
one particular order. First the proper
nouns. then adjectives. and this stage
is followed by failure of power to rec
ollect events. Very many people suf-
fer from the first degree; excessive
smokers, for instance. it is said, some
times find it difficult to recall proper
names. Drunkenness is a well-known
cause and there is the very curious case
of a man who mislaid package while
drunk, forgot where he had put 1t when
sober and had to get drunk again to
find it.

BIRTHPLACEs OF PREsIDENTs.
Seven Were Born in Virginia and Four
in Ohio.

From the Florida Times Union.
Tho Republicans are discussing Nc
kinley as the next president, and re-
ferring TO Ohio as about to supplant
Virginia as the mother of presidents.
Ohio is far behind Virginia as birth
place of presidents. The old dominion
has had seven of her sons elevated to
the chief magistracy, two of them, the
elder Harrison and Taylor, elected
! while residing in other states, and Tyler
succeeding to the presidency through
the death of Harrison. These presi-
dents, together, held office thirty-seven
years.
Ohio has had only four presidents.
and of these Grant and Benjamin Har-
rison resided In other states at the time
of their election. Their combined terms
amounted to seventeen years.
Next comes North Carolina, with
three presidents, all residing in Ten
nessee when elected and inaugurated.
Their terms amounted to sixteen years.
The two Adamses, from Massachusetts,,
held office for eight years. Van Buren,
and Fillmore, who held office seven
years, We're from New York.
The other five presidents were born
in New Hampshire. Pennsylvania, Ken
lucky, Vermont and New Jersey, though
Arthur, born in Vermont, lived in New
York when he succeeded to the presi-
dency. Lincoln, born in Kentucky, was
elected from Illinois, and Cleveland,
born in New Jersey, resided in New
York at the time of his election.
The four presidents elected from Vir-
ginia were chosen when that state was
the most populous in the union. This
probably accounts. to some extent, for
the succession of Virgnians during the
early history of the country, though all
four We're worthy of the office. No res-
ident of Virginia has been elected since
1921:
The two presidents chosen from Ohio
were elected when that state was third
in population, and they were nominat-
ed largely for sectional reasons. New
York and Pennsylvania, populous as
they are, have Jared badly. Twelve
times have New Workers been defeated
after nomination for the presidency.
Pennsylvania has had but two candi-
dates-one elected and one defeated.

Massachusetts Mans Wonderful Pow

BOSTON. Mass Aug 4.-Malden has,
in Timothy W. Lincoln lightning healer
who bids fair to rival the blacksmith heal
er of Vermont Schlatter of the East.
He is not a poor man who is trying a new
plan to make a living, but man who is
we'll enough off, so far as worldly posses
sions go, to live the remainder of his life
without work and he absolutely refuses to
accept remuneration for the treatment he
gives. He is very sincere in his work and
has already effected some wonderful cures
in and about Maiden, failing in only five
out of ninety-two cases that he has tried.
The power has been in his possession only
a few weeks. and Mr. Lincoln says he re-
ceived II from the clouds over Bath, Me-,

lightning would leave the wires and ap-
parently descend TO the ground in spat-
ters with a smack and splash like water

NOMINATED A DEMOCRAT.
Mine Owner Ralphsnyder Chosen by
West Virginia Populists.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va. Aug. 5.-The
Popuist State nominating convention con-
vened here to-day in the courthouse, with
about 100 delegates present. The platform
is short. but ratifies the st. Louis platform
and the candidates, urges the abolition or
the fee system. and a reduction of the
State officials salaries.
A strong and successful effort was made
TO indorse Isaac Cox Ralphsnyder for Gov
ernor. He is the free-silver candidate Tor
the Democratic party. but owing TO tne
fact that the Democrats will not hold their
convention till next week. the Popunsts
were in a quandary as what TO do. After
wrangling over the question the convention
nominated Ralphsnyder. of Fairmont, for
Governor. Two nominees were placed be-
fore the convention. Judge j. A. Steally.
a middle f-the-road Populist and Ralph
snyder, the free-silver Democrat Ralph
snyder has been canvassng the State for
months for the Democratic nomination for
Governor. and he hopes this nomination
will persuade his own party 10 select him.
Ralphsnyder is. rich, and owns two or three
silver mines. 1t Is thought the rest OF the
ticket will be straight Populists.

TEXAS MIDDLE ROADERs.
They Have Only One Ticket to Vote
as Well as to Pray For.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 5.-Just before
the Populist State convention was called TO
order this morning Dornblast, of Hill, came
into the hall with a banner bearing the
words Middle of the Road St. Louis 103,'
which was received with cheers. Chairman
Ashby, of the executive committee, said he
was glad to know that the convention ap-
proved the action of the 103 and they would
do as they had done in St Louis, If the
ground had to be gone over again. There
are one thousand delegates here, about 3
per cent. of whom is colored. When the
convention was called to order Rev. f. V.
Fvans prayed for concert of action in each
district and asked the Lord to take all to
glory when done fighting plutocrats Mayor

1t is evident from the reception given

Chairman Stump" Ashby, in responding,
said the Democrats ought to serve in the
the positions of trust In referring TO the
st Louis convention, he said the papers
had misrepresented them, but the log stood
firm in the middle of the road.
The convention got no further than per-
manent organization and then adjourned
until tomorrow. 1t got into a wrangle over
the order of business. which was finally
Strengthened out so that the first thing to-
morrow will be the consideration of the
platform. There are three elements In the
convention. One is for Bryan and Watson
and the nomination of electors. eight of
whom are to be withdrawn If. when the
Democrats hold their convention they will
leave seven blanks for Populist electors
and whichever party wins in the State.
that party is to have the electors. The
second plan favors Endorsement of the st.
Louis platform, remaining silent on nomi-
nees and in case the Democrats do not
pull down Sewall have the votes cast for
Norton and Watson. The third plan wants
to indorse the platform. elect electors and
leave the rest of the matter in the hands
of the executive committee. The draft of
the platform adopted by the committee in
dorses the principles of the St Louis plat
form. but not the nominees. 1t proposes to
Eliminate $500 of improvements on home-
steads from taxation, recognizes and in
dorses the several demands OF labor and
proposes several radical measures in State
offices.
