The jackson Wing chuckles because I'VE

two tariffs do not prevent nor cure strikes"
High protective tariffs do not prevent or euro
chilblains or hay fever or Charleyhorse or
chronic silver s~pouting or plutophobia or the
chicken-stealing habit. The jackson WIG
wishes to lay too much work on protective
tariffs. There is only one entire and perfect
cure for all the woes that are or can bo. and that
10 the great 10 to 1 remedy. Tho application of
that will not only prevent strikes, but will ulti.
mately relieve from tho necessity of working.
What 10 tho use Of having SO many people work.
anyway 1t is q habit which tends to mako
things cheap. and nothing ought to be cheap
except money.

Both Are Healthy Cities.

Some official figures of ar authentic char
aeter, published with the sanction of the
Health Department of Brooklyn. are de-
signed to show that that part of the future
enlarged New York is healthier than the
present New York, or at least that the
death rate is materially lower. In the year
1895, for example, the deaths per thousand
inhabitants were 23.s in New York and
only 1877 in Brooklyn. In 1895 the rate
was 22.3 In New York and 1913 In Brook
Ign; and for so much of this year as was
between Jan. 1 and July 1 the rate in New
York, remarkably small, was 1915, while
In Brooklyn 1t was 17,2. Though relatively
the decline in the death rate in New York
has been greater during the last few years
than in Brooklyn. 1t continues larger here
than in the great city across the bridge.
From this fact, ~undeniably established by
the records of many years, the conclusion
is reached that Brooklyn is "a healthier
city tLan New York"
Brooklyn is a very healthful American
city. 1t is to the credit of it's inhabitants
that this Is so, but Brooklyn is In NO respect
a more healthful city than New York, II
amy comparison is TO be made between the
two. The present population of New York
