Here is sample of the i'll fate had
to contend with: l struck the camp

thing but lose all along the line hunt
ed up Johnnie COSTELLO, and the best he
could do was 70 get me a meal ticket at
the Blue Bell-one of those 81 meals
for s. affairs-and every time you eat
they punch figure. wasn't long us
ing it, and stepped out on the sidewalk
containing the first resemblance TO q
square feed had held for some days A
gust of wind came down from between
Tenderfoot and Mineral hills, where all
the puffs originate, and blew the meal
ticket out of my hands. 1t landed face
up on the sidewalk, ten feet or so away,
and before l could recover it big 900
pound Cornish miner stepped OH it. He
wore heavy boots, with hobnails in 'em,
and as sure as I'm living man the
nails in his heel punched out the re-
manning 20 squares.
A similar melodrama, whose plot
swung and ratified about restaurant
ticket, had its scene in Chicago 1t was
before the days when gold cures offered
temporary relief to those addicted to
the rosy. One young man, naturally OF
a thrifty habit, reached point in his
life when he learned that If he became
thirsty he became very much so. In
quelling this thirst he was apt to squan-
che last time So it came that, being
philosophic, he rose superior TO his pro-
pensity for thrift and disposed of his
salary as fast as he earned it Thereby
he got due and proper action for his
money. and also appreciably shortened
the length of his DRINKS Having no
reserve fund, he could not continue his
liquor consuming career for long. One
Monday he detected the stealthy APP
proach of the thirst. He had become so
wise that he could tell it Is hours away.
1t was his salary day, and, knowing
full we'll his weakness, the first invest
ment he made was in a meal ticket.
On the Thursday following the next
he saw the sun. The interval was part
blank and part confusion of red lights,
cabs and schooners. He had not cent
in his clothes, and was as hungry as a
shipwrecked sailor. He dug up his meal
ticket and went around TO Calhoun place
the restaurant was situated therein
but Calhoun place was blockaded. Fire
men were half way up the alley play
ing their hose on the smoldering ruins
of the restaurant. -Chicago Times-Her-

THE VALUE OF SALT.


An Industry Ruined For the Purpose of
Saving six-tenths of a Cent Per Capita.
The per capita consumption of salt,
for all purposes, in this country is So
pounds per annum. The Mckinley duty
was $3.50 ton. The Wilson German
Diners placed it on the free list If the
consumers reap the whole benefit of the
81. so ton, it means a saving to them
Of less than 4 p cents each, even should
they reap the benefit on the entire con-
sumption. In point of fact, the duties
collected in 1891, the highest under the
Mckinley law, We're $408, 100, or less
than six-tenths of cent per capita
To accomplish this saving of $40S,-
100, the wages distributed in the Wy
oming valley saltfield alone fell off
$685., 900 in 1895 below the amount in
1891, while the railroads running
through that field lost $500, 900 and the
coopearge and cotton bagging industries
lost $435, 900. Here is a loss in one salt
field alone of 81, $40, 900, as against
possible saving of $40S, 80.
And there are many other saltfields
in the country as productive as that in
and around Wyoming county, n. Y,
which have suffered as heavily. The
item of labor in the salt plants alone in
this one field has been decreased by an
amount substantially equal TO the duty
collected in 1891, and yet labor in the
salt plants suffered but one fourth of
the loss directly occasioned by free trade

FREE TRADE FINANcIERISG.
The South For Protection.

When the south depended upon the Ia
bor'of its slaves and employed little or
no free labor, it was as earnest an advo-
cate of free trade as is England today
Now that it must resort to free labor it
is placed upon the same footing as north
ern producers. 1t is compelled to pay a
like rate of wages for days work and
therefore demands protection against the
foreign producer, whose product is made
or grown by cheaper labor. And we
find all through the south demand for
protection to American industry against
a foreign competition, bent upon their
destruction and determined to possess
the American market. Hon. William
Mckinley.

Get the Home Market First.

This foreign market. for which every
tariff idealist and every Democratic free
trader longingly signs, is only mythical
in the present condition of our country.
We should capture the home market
first and get full control of it before
we seek the foreign market. We cannot
command a foreign market until we can
control our own.-Hon. William Nc.

CARLISLE'S ERRORS.
A CHAIN OF FlOUNOERING FiNAN-
CIAL FORECASTS.
Endless laundering by the Exponent Of
Democratic Government The Surplus
That Never Came-Results Of q ''Tarin
For Revenue Only"

In 1898 Secretary Carlisle gave his
first estimate of the 1895 fiscal year, an
ticipating a surplus of revenue over ex-
penditure of $6, 100, $50. A year later,
in 1894, he revised this estimate and
predicted a deficiency of $50, 900, 900.
Both prognostications were wrong, for
the deficit reached $42, 800, 223. In 1898
he was $40, 900, 900 out in his financial
ideas, and in 1894, only six months be-
fore the close of the 1895 fiscal year, ne
was S22, 500, 223 wrong.
In 1894 Secretary Carlisle gave us his
first prophecy as to the current fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1896. Then he
looked for comfortable surplus" Of
$2S, S14,920 But again he was away
off, and five months ago changed his fig
ures to "a deficiency of SIT, 900, 900, a
slight difference Of nearly SAC, 900, 900
in these two estimates. The indications
are that the actual excess of expenditures
over revenue for the 1896 fiscal year
ending June 30 will be $50. 900, 600.
This will be difference of $50, IA, 920
from his estimate III 1894, and differ
ence of SO, 600, 900 from his guess of
five months ago.
For the fiscal year 1897 this free trade
financier expects another comfortable
surplus, though hardly SO ''cOmforta-
BILE" as his first expectations for 1896,
as he puts it at only So, 90S, 927. Let us
tabulate briefly the Democratic financial
expectations and realizations from "a
tariff for revenue only" They will be
handy facts TO carry around.

WANTS TO CURE RoUs8.
Blacksmith Says He Can Restore the Mn-

Blacksmith Says He Can Restore the GIn-
 Ilonaire's Sight.
 A blacksmith's helper in East St. Louis is about to attempt task which the foremost physicians of the country have been unable to accomplish.
 His name is Charles Lindow.
 He proposes to restore the power of sight to Charles Broadway Rouss, the blind millionaire of New York.
 By dint of hard work and unusual en- terprise Rouss amassed fortune of $1,- 900, 000. Hard work and unceasing at tention to the details of his business told upon him, and now. though inn mensely wealthy, he is almost blind.
 The best oculists of the country have tried i'll vain to restore his sight.
 One day last week Rouss told New York reporter that he would willingly pay $1, 1000, 900 to the man who would restore his sight.
 The proposition was telegraphed all over the country.
 Charles Lindow saw the account of Rouss' promise and wrote to the af1ict- ed New Yorker, proposing to cure him on the conditions named in the press dispatches He has as yet received no reply, but he is confident that he will be given chance to try his skill on the millionaire.
 Lindow is typical German black, smith. with just little more shrewd- ness than most of his class. He works in the Cairo Short Line shops and makes $1. 40 per day.
 He has wife and seven children, and he supports them well, thanks to his knowledge of the ills that flesh is heir to.
 To a reporter Lindow said:
 T know can cure that New York man. have cured others, and I ought to cure him.
 1T cured man named Gregg. He was q passenger conductor, but he be- came so blind that he couldn't do any thing but shovel cinders about the roundhouse l took his case, and in three weeks he was back on his train.
 Altogether l have cured four blind people in the last three years. ''I give medicine internally for blind ness, as I find that ill most cases the trouble comes from the stomach. Be- sides the internal treatment I give the patient an eye wash to take the infiam- nation out.
 If get the $l.000, 900, will quit working hard and educate my six boys for the medical profession. "-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
