PROOF FOR FARMERS
LOSS OF PROTECTION THE CAUSE OF
CHEAP FARM PRODUCTS.

Tremendous Decrease In Domestic Con-
sumption Surplus For Export Larger
Under Free Trade-Id1e WOrkingmen
Arc Forced to Buy Sparingly.
Mr.. Mckinley correctly argues that a
law which closes our shops and factories
and makes labor idle reduces home con-
sumption of farm products and naturally
reduces prices. Mr.. Edward Atkinson,
student of the causes of depression,
quite agrees in this. He says:
sThere are now "a, 900, 900 men, wo-
men and children occupied for gain in
all the arts on which life depends. If
constructive enterprise is paralyzed, as
it has been, and only per cent are idle,
that means l, 200, 600 men out of work
and nearly 4. 900. 900 people suffering
want, while the food they would con-
sumo chokes the farms with unstable
products. If 10 per cent are idle, 2, 400, :
900 need work, and 1900, 900 people
suffer want while the food rots and
wastes in the farmers bins. y

free trade tariff operates to injure the
farmer Our consumption of wheat has

one OF the shore ends of the cable and the
negative pole of similar dynamo to the
other shore end of the cable. Elecrrolysis
(the decomposition of water by the electric
currently at once takes place, and the
water in the tube is separated into its con-
stituent elements, aud oxygen gas passes
out at one end of the tube and hydrogen
gas at the other, the process of electrolysis
continuing until all the water in the tube
is eliminated.
The tube once free of water, it becomes a
simple matter to fit the interior with proper
carriages and propel them by atmosp pheric
pressure at enormous speed, and any num-
Der of carriages may be en- route at the
same time.
Such system is admirably adapted to
both passenger and freight traffic. Pure
air in abundance is assured, and light
may be readily provided by electric appli-
ances. Motion would be scarcely felt by
the passenger, while by means of appro-
priately placed wires in the inner wall of
the tube each carriage would be in con-
slant communication with outside sta
tions.
The cost of such tube would be less
than per cent of modern bridge having
the same traffic capacity.
With such a mode of transportation
across the bay, the passenger for Oakland
from San Francisco would make'his jour
ney in two minutes, and even greater
speed would be attained in tubes connect
ing America with Europe.

invention which finds the greatest favor
is that of an American in the military
balloon corps of the French army, and
which is now controlled by French capt.

greatly improved upon the Americans air
ship, and who calls it his balloon, called
upon Allen S. Williams, general manager
of the Newark Cuban festival, last
week, and after showing him the plans
of his airship and exhibiting his creden-
tials from the proper authorities he tried
to secure the services of Carl Never, a
noted balloonist. who made balloon
ascension at Waverley, N. j., on July 4,
under Mr.. Williams management, and
who has twice crossed Weyler's famous
trocha in Pinar del Rio in an airshi, of his
own construction with dispatches from
Antonio Maceo to Jose Maria Aguirre.
Captain Lagrifoule is to begin the con.

my questions about his project and his

''In this age OF progress there is moth

very difficult to do, but human ingenuity
can surmount all obstacles. The upper at

aeronauts, who have made scientific

anything else. The ordinary balloon
crank who ventures into upper space
without knowing the region, generally
ends up with an accident. 1t is much

down here, because il cyclone or cork

QUEER HERBS THAT
PASS FOR TOBACCO.
Busy Brains at Work on Sub
stitutes for Nicotine.
A Woman's Cgar Patent That Can
Be Used in the Pipe or TO
Clean the Teeth.

Among the queer things recorded at the
Patent Office are mixtures designed as
substitutes for tobacco. Apparently tie
whole vegetable kingdom has been ran
sacked for material to take the place of
nicotine in cigars, plug for chewers and
fuel for the pipe. There is hardly ia
miliar herb whose leaves are not called
into requisition. 1t is no idle tale that the
potato, the beet, the cabbage and the
turnip help out the commercial supply of
the weed. For the preparation of these
plants and the initiative doctoring of them
there are numberless ingenious processes.
In speaking OF this matter, a Kearny-
street tobacconist said the other day: 1--WE
have preparation which, in appearance,
resembles an ordinary plug of tobacco 1t
is made UP of gentian root, prickly ash
bark, sassafras bark and extract of licorice.
This is quite extensively used now, and
you doubtless have many friends who
you think are chewing tobacco when in
reality they are merely chewing this sub
sti,ute.
''There are also some simple substitutes,
such as cocoa leaves, bay leaves and many
others, which are largely used. The most
peculiar preparation that know of is one
for which woman has secured patent
She manufactures cigars of eucalyptus
leaves. and the inventor claims that they
leave clean, pleasant flavor in the mouth.
She seems to consider this the only i'll
effect of tobacco using. This woman in
ventor is prolific in ideas, and claims for
her cigars that they can, if necessary, be
broken up for use in a pipe; that they can
be ground up for snuff, powdered into a
tooth paste, and, with suitable fats, made
into candles and soaps.
at is not the real substitutes that we
fear; we rather favor them. There are a
great many people who have certain dis
orders of the body who should never
smoke. Such persons we advise to stop
the use of tobacco and take to some SUBJ
stitute. What we do object to, though,
are certain preparations which have been
put on the market as tobacco, instead OF
substitutes.

pound in Germany. The smoked article
brings pence.
