PROTECTIONISM'S DISCRlMINA
TON

1t would puzzle the advocates of
protectionism to draw dividing line
between those who should and those
who should not. according to the pro-
tectionists' ideas of justice, be protect
ed by tariff laws. Nobody will pretend
that all classes and interests are
favored by the protective system. A
great many are left out in the cold. II
some are justly entitled to protection,
why not all? Can any logical reason
be assigned for justifying the govern
ment in furnishing special legislation
to bolster up the business of John
Jones and leaving Hiram Smith to
shift for himself?
The only honest answer to these
questions that can be made is in the
assumption that it is the governments
duty to select certain classes Of pro-
ducers as objects of favoritism and ig-
more all others. While protective
tariff is nice thing for few, it i'm
poses unjust burdens on the many.
Those whose business is specially IA
vored by tariff tax on imported pro-
ducts derive benefit from it by increas-
ing the prices on what they produce
and sell. This means that con-
sumers, millions of whom are un-
protected by tariff laws, must pay
the enhanced values or else get
along without the goods. The pre-
tense that a protective tariff is in
tended to increase and does increase
the wages of employees in protected
industries is double-distilled falsehood
aud hypocrisy. No such result fol-
lows, to any appreciable extent, nor
is such the purpose Of the protection
ist barons who have perpetual "pulr'
on the finance committees Of the SEN
ate and the ways and means commit
tees of the house. In the long list OF
workers who get no protection through
tariff legislation, but who, On account
of such legislation, pay more for what
they eat, drink and wear, we may name
the following:
Actors, authors, architects, agents,
artists, bakers, butchers, shoemakers,
builders, brakemen, bricklayers, car
penters, car-drivers, conducsors, car
riagemakers, clerks, cooper cooks,
drivers, dookbuilders, woodo ,ppers,
deckhands, dressmsksrs, en- lravers,
expressmen, elevstormen, flagmsn and
switchmen, gardeners, grocerymen,
hotelkeepers. honsekeepers, servants
kalsominers, laborers, ministers, edit
ors, newspaper publishers, report
ers, typewriters, doctors, machin
lists, musicians, printers, plumb
ers. painters, plasterers, teachers,
tsilors, watchmen. The list could
be extended to a much greater
length. and many other classes will
occur to the mind of the reader.
All of these classes, and many more
who are outside the pale of special
privilege, are engaged in useful occu-
pations. Directly or Indirectly they
are all wealth producers. Why should
they, while receiving no legislative
protection themselves, be taxed to en-.
rich few government pets? The in
justice of such system is so palpable
that every person who thinks of il

experience a desire to see it over.

A Remarkable Instrument Which
Records in Detail the Move
ments of the Heart.
STRANGE ACTION OF STIMULANTS
The Sphygmograph, Delicate Piece
of Mechanism, Which Writes
What the Heart Dictates.

One OF the most intricate and wonderful
little instruments applied in the science
of medicine Is the sphygmograph. The
mechanism OF this tiny machine is so
minute that it is somewhat difficult to
convey a comprehensive idea of it by
means of written description. The ac-
companying illustration. however, will
assist the reader in building an ideal
sphygmograph in the minds eye, and the
study of it will afford little exercise and
consequent development of the faculty
through which we gain most of our knowl-
edge-perception.
The sphygmograph is an instrument
used to measure and record the action Of
the heart, using the pulse as its key. In
other and palmer language, it sketches on
paper, by means of very fine point in
irregular up and down zigzag strokes,
every beat and movement of that great
little blood pump-the heart.
The utility and Importance of such an
instrument is readily understood when we
remember that the hearts action mani
tests itself through the pulse. The heart
acts ard the pulse exhibits the action, or,
rather, the manner of the action. This
action is perceptible to the touch when we
"feel the pulse" manifesting itself by diff
ferent degrees of intensity in the pulse
beat Thus strong heart produces a

strong, firm swell or wave in the pulse,
and vice versa.
The Office of the sphygmograph is to in
dicate the degree of intensity and regu-
larity of the heartbeat, which performance
is accomplished as follows: The instru-
ment is attached to the wrist by means of
a silk band, thus holding a sensitive disk,
fastened to the band, in iuxtaposition with
the pulse-artery. The pulsations, acting
on this disk, move pointed marker held
by an armature up, down and across the
surface of slip of paper, which is kept
moving by means of delicate mechanism
within the instrument. In this manner
the irregular tracings, as shown in the cuts
below, are produced and make an accur-
ate stenographic record, as it were. of the
heart movements in health and disease,
excitement and depression. This written

the Free Employment Bureau would be
desperate Characters who might make a
rad upon the clearinghouse next door.
they did not like these crowds assembling
IN the money center of the City, and they
were anxious to have the employment bu-
reau moved uptown.
At that time they were willing to sub
scribe literally to have the change effected
but 1t that time the Labor Commissioner
refused to accept the offers of money, be-
lleving that the State Board of Examiners
would make special provision for the
maintenance of his Office.
However, the winter passed without a
single overt act being committed and the
bankers apprehension proved to be with
out foundation. Since then they have
showed little interest in the matter and
very few have assisted in subscribing to
the fund that is necessary to effect the
move. Prominent men, however, have
come to the front aid subscribed about
$500. 1t will cost about $l400 to fit up the
new quarters.
The front rooms will be used as the
women's department. The male depart
ment will be in the rear and reached by q
small alley leading off Stockton place. By
this arrangement the annoyance of crowds
OF men on the Sutter-street sidewalk will
be avoided. There will be large shed in
the rear of the building where the men
may stay while waiting for work. The
offices and rooms where the statistical
work will be attended to will be in the
second story.
Governor Budd, in a conversation with
the Labor Commissioner recently, stated
that when the next Legislature meets he
will endeavor to secure the enactment of a
law providing for the establishment Of
three free employment Offices in the south
ern, middle and northern portions of the
State.

Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Stanford all together
did not possess $l4, 900 in cash and prop
erty in Sacramento or anywhere else.
They were associated in hardware and
other business ventures and were not very
well off at the time the railroad scheme
was hatehed. They got good lift from
the Government and the State and then
most all the counties came to their assist
ance. Vast tracts of land were decided to

building the road through construction
companies which they themselves abso-
lutely controlled.
'lt was their custom to spread the in
formation broadcast that certain engineer
ing feats cost several times more than they
did. This was doubtless done for the pur-
pose of misleading the Government as to
the difficulties and dangers incident to
building road in the West. Their figures
were greatly in excess Of the real cost and
were In every possible way misleading.

OF the early railroad builders, as I fur

board of stockholders of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad. OF course, as great many
others will testify, 1 was swamped

DR.. Leuf's tracings serve to demonstrate
that alcohol, opium, cocaine, morphine,

strength and exact twofold payment

Therein lies the great drawback in the use

case of Vino Kolafra the extra amount of
energy is furnished by the remedy itself,

to the ever-burning fire of nature, and
when that addition is consumed the fame
of nature subsidies to its normal state, leav-
ing no trace whatever of the transpiring of
any unusual event. This fact is of the
utmost importance, and its value cannot
have considerable bearing in the admin

Director of the United States Navy, who,
in treating several cases of sick headache

that IN wasting diseases it will similarly

These remarkable characteristics ex-
hibited in the action of Vino Kolafra
would seem to lend it distinction in
value far beyond that possessed by any
other stimuIant and tonic the merits of
which are known to us. Its application in
sickness and disease will certainly prove a
valuable innovation in the science of medi-
cine.
