WHY GOLD GOES ABROAD.

When the barriers of McKinleyism
were partially demolished, goods
rushed in from abroad to fill up the
empty spaces in the home markets of
the Republic. Our wooden manufac-
turers, in particular, benefited by this
change, as the trade and navigation
returns of the United Kingdom very
clearly exhibit. For the eleven months
Of 1895 for which we have the figures,
the United States have taken nearly
six millions sterling worth of woolen
and Worsted tissues from us, as COM
pared with less than a million and a
half's worth last year, and not much
more than two and quarter millions
worth the year before. A gap pro-
duced by the long suspense of the
tariff question had to be filed up, and
the enlarged market opened by the
reduced tariff further increased the
buying. To less extent the same
phenomena were discernible else
where and the broad general result
was that, at the very time when the
States were finding the markets for
their own productions restricted or
improbable abroad, they saw foreign
goods pouring in upon them in an

Ex President Harrison is out with
a letter to some of his Indiana friends,
announcing the fact that he does not
desire a denomination, and that he
does not wish to be considered can
didate. In the coming national con-
vention this will relieve the situation
of some of it's uncertainties and re-
move a name that would havs con-
siderable strength before it. There is
probably no better all-round states
man in this country, than Harrison,
and no man would be liable to give
the country safer, more conserva-
tive and patriotic administration than
he. 1t is probably true, however,
that Mckinley, Reed, or some other
candidate would be a more popular
man at this time. Fortunately there
is no dearth of candidates.

out Of four of the members of the leg
islature are users of the soothing and
balmy cigar. The main difference
seems to lie in the fact that one is a
baby cigar, while the other is full
grown, and that it is easier to legis-
late against others than to be con-
sistent yourselves. Those who have
had any experience in the halls of the
capitol building know the" Wisdomand
Virtue" of the average State attacks
the cigar with much more earnest
ness than it does the problems Of

4 ERANK AND MANI Y ACT.

There is no ''string' to -Presi-
dent Harrison's letter of declination.
He is out of the Presidential contest
for good and all, and the promptness
and the frankness with which he
states his position will increase the
high esteem in which he is held by
the American people.
Gen. Harrison is now 81 years old,
and though he is still a young man
mentally and physically, it is not
strange, that having been through
the stress and strain of two national
campaigns, he should have no desire
to enter another. Moreover, his term
in Washington was characterized by a
remarkable series of personal affiic
tions. There was the tragedy in the
household of his near friend and as
sociate, Secretary Tracy; the bereave
ments in the family Of Secretary
Blaine, with the death of the great
Premier himself, and the death of
Mrs. Harrison. Under these circum-
stances it is easy to understand that
to ex-President Harrison the nation
al capital is place of gloom and not
of attractiveness, and it is easy to be-
lieve his declaration that "there has
never been an hour since [ left the
White House that have felt wish
to return to it''
Gen. Harrison's withdrawal, which
is clearly absolute and final, tends to
simplify the situation, and is thus dis
tinctly a friendly service to the other
conspicuous candidates.

last year under the provisions and

effect that they are proving success.

AN ELECTRIC STREET CLEANER.
Invention of Montreal Man which
Sweeps I'D Everything Clean.


From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Among the many novel applications of
electricity one of the latest is that where
it is utilized, through the medium of an
electric car, for sweeping up and carry
ing off the street refuse The car is eight
feet wide by twenty-five feet long, and
eleven feet high. 1t is carried on two
axies, and is fitted with the usual equip
ment of trolley car The brakes and
the motor are placed above the wheels.
The motor is connected by chain and
sprocket gear to the driving wheels and
to the brush, the brush making Eve revo-
lutions to one Of tho car wheels. The
brush runs in a cylindrical case, which
is open at the top and the bottom, and
1t IS arranged to work both ways a re-
versible steel defiector being arranged
above the brush. The car consists of an
upper platform, in the center of which r.
a shelter or cab containing the motor, az
a lower closed section into which the
street rubbish is thrown. It's lower floor
is formed in parallel sections, which arc
hinged transversely to the car, and by
the operation Of a lever can be opened for
dumping out the refuse. The broom
which ordinarily is the full width of the
car, can be extended to cover nearly the
full width of the street If 80 desired
In operation these cars are used in con-
nection with manual labor, the Sweep
ings Of the cutters and sides Of the street
being thrown toward the center where
they are picked UP by the car, which
thus sweeps its own section of the road,
and also takes the place of the refuse
carts
The car is the invention Of A. jackson

six to eight miles an hour, and that il
when sweeping It travels at the rate of
