WV. DIMOND,S

Our advertisements in the
daily papers attract more
wanters than we know what
to do with at times, but they
are indulgent with us and if
they cannot be waited on the
minute they get in the store
there are attractive bits of
crockery and glassware to oc-
cupy their attention for a few
minutes. It's the shoppers
and buyers that make us
happy. IF the rush continues
the force of clerks will be en-
larged. Advertising suits us.
If it is steak or a chop,
it's all the better for broiling,
if you have the right sort of
broiler. The Unique is the
one that broils both sides with
least trouble. No danger of
burning fingers with a Unique.
Every housewife uses
raisens to a degree in cooking;
the bother has been in the
seeding. An Automatic seed
er will seed a pound in five
minutes and all the machine
costs is is dollar and half.
The Columbia Egg Beaten
goes to you for a quarter.
Another style, works quicker
and has a graduating glass,
costs 60 cents, but it is worth
the difference.
The patent chimney cleaner
cleans the glass at one move
ment of the hand and prevents
possibility Of breakage. Don't
cost much, but it's worth a
dollar.

Senator Mitchelps Relief.

The people of this country never have
believed. do not now believe. and never
will believe, in my judgment, not at
least in the next three generations to
come, if ever, that properly devised
system of protection to home industries,
by which encouragement is given to
home labor and home capital, and
whereby the labor and products of this
country are shielded from the ruinous
effects of competition with the cheap la
Dor and the products Of the cheap and
in many instances absolutely servile
labor of European and Asiatic coun-
tries, is one that will tend to reduce the
price of either American labor or of
American products of either farm or
shop or mine. The undeniable facts of
history show conclusively that there is
no warrant for any such belief-Hon.

Platinum at the Center.

An ingenious geologist has pro-
pounded the astonishing theory that
the center of the earth is a mass of
molten gold and platinum. He says:
If you put into a bottle some coffee,
some sand, and some quicksilver, fill
1t up with water and then shake it
briskly, as soon as it has rested for a
minute You will have layer OF quick
silver at the bottom, a layer Of sand
in the middle and layer OF coffee on
top, with the water over all. That is,
the heaviest at the bottom and the
hghtest on top. AT one time the earth
was just like the contents of the shaken
bottle. And as it has cooled T. is likely
that the heaviest of all the elements
platinum-has gone to the bottom, that
is, the center; and that the platinum is
surrounded by layer of pure gold.
The gold that We find on the surface is
merely small quantity that, here and
there got entangled with other things
and was prevented from sinking"

Protect Our Shipping.

The movement to bring to Americans
and American capital a fair share OF
the carrying trade upon the high seas
and to restore that prestige which this
country had when the famous clipper
ships were admired in the ports Of the
world and which was lost soon after,
is making rapid strides. Last week
the Atlantic Transport Company,
American, purchased the entire outfit
and rights of the National Line, Brit
ish, and the American flag will soon
be run UP on the following vessels:
America, Europe. Spain, Greece,
France and England Let the good
work go on until the American can
ship his goods, himself travel and the
Government can send it's mails upon
American ships, and the United States
flag will become familiar once more
in the seaport cities the wide world
over.-Mail, Lowell, Mass.

London Views Our Wool Market.

Messrs. Helmuth SchwartZe & Co.,
of London, comment upon the fact so
well known here, that the United States
in 1895, in addition to the unprece-
denied imports of raw wool, also i'm
ported manufactures of wool to the
extent of over sixty million dollars
CSC, OOO, 0OO) as against less than seven
teen million dollars ($17 900, 00W for the
preceding year"
This increase in the American i'm
ports of wooden goods is roughly cal
culated as equal to 100 million pounds
of raw wool, which is exactly the
amount of the increase in the worlds
supply of the year 1895. If American
wool had been used to manufacture the
increased amount of imported woolens,
more than one half of the entire Amer
lean clip would have been consumed
in their production.
The increase in the imports of wool,
including that used in the manufacture
of woolens imported in 1895, over the
average of the previous four years was
over 257 million pounds "a quantity
within 81 million pounds of the Ameri-
can wool production for 1880, an in
crease of about ia per cent. The effect
of this extraordinary increase in inn
ports upon American prices is now be-
ing very seriously felt

The Democrats viii Not BE Permitted
to Dodge the Issue That Is Engaging
vnla

Englishmen appreciate the fact that
the German tariffs lease of life is linn
tied. In the Manchester Courier and
Lancashire General Advertiser of No
vember 7, 1895, we find the following:
"A significant feature of the cleo
tions is that, not only do the Republic
an victories foreshadow a Republican
President next year, but they render
1t probable that the Wilson tariff will,
in the near future, give place to one OF
a more stringently protective charac-
ter. This result is especially pointed
to by the election in Ohio, the home of
Mr.. Mckinley The tariff question en-
tered largely into the electioneering
issues, the Democrats supporting the
Wilson bill, the Republicans asking for
further protection, and the candidate
of the latter party was elected by a
large majority. For the first time,
Utah takes part as state in the cleo
tions, and the tide of Republican VIC
tory has, apparently, reached as far as
the Salt Lake City. The victory OF
Tammany Hall is not matter upon
which the United States can be COM
plimented, and the prospect of an un-
favorable revision of the Wilson tariff
is one which is not satisfactory to our
selves"

Reed ON Wages.

The truth is that this very question
of rising wages is what makes a good
many men free-traders. People with
fixed incomes think that anything
which raises wages is inimical to them.
Manufacturers who have foreign mar
kets are naturally anxious to have
wages on the foreign standard, and
when a great cocoa manufacturer in
Boston and c great agricultural tool
maker in Philadelphia proclaim them
selves on the side of free-trade we find
in both cases large foreign trade and
along with it desire for foreign wages
for their workingmen.-H Hon. Thos. b.
