AS EXEMPLIFIED By LEGISLATION.
All the tariff legislation of both Of Mr..
Cleveland administrations was based upon
the principle of the platform Of 1884.
The Mills bill, which passed the House in
his first administration, was skillful and
fair exemplifcation of the principle, and
the Wilson bill, which became a law in
Cleveland second administration, as clear
ly stated by Mr. Wilson in the report
which accompanied it, was drawn upon
those lines. The Morrison horizontal re-
duction bill presented to the House in the
first Cleveland administration, was the only
measure which disregarded this principle,
and that was never endorsed by the Presl-
dent and was never even considered by
the House, although largely Democratic.
The Wilson bill, as finally passed, IS
model tariff law from the Democratic stand
point. There was no contrayention OF It's

Electric Ploughs In Europe.

Electric ploughs have now beer il
use for some time. A six-acre field at
Sermaize, La Marine, in France, was
ploughed by one in 1879, and two years
later, in 1881 a farmer at Oissel used
an electric plough in one of his fields,
obtaining the necessary power from a
waterfall. Electric ploughs were in
PRODUCED few years ago by Siemens
and Halske; and, last year, the United
States consul at Leipsig made report
to his government on the use and prog
ress of the electric plough in Germany.
The source of power is often an ordi-
nary locomotive farm engine, which
drives the dynamo, and from the dyna-
mo an out-and-back cable carries the
current to the plough. The cable is
supported at intervals by cable-cars.
light iron four-wheeed arrangements,
that keep it couple of feet or so off
the ground and follow every motion
impaired to them by the cable. The
plough itself carries the motor, which
turns pair of traction wheels and
causes the plough to move along.

For Workers In silver.

Old Silvering.-To initiate old artistic
productions made of solid silver, the
groundwork and hollow portions not
subject to friction are covered with a
blackish red earthly coat, the parts in
relief remaining with bright lead
luster. Mix a paste of finely powdered
plumbago with essence of turpentine,
to which a small portion of red ochre
NAV be added to initiate the copper
tinge. of certain old silverware; smear
this over every part of the article.
After drying, gently rub with soft
brush: the reliefs are set off by clean

wine. To give the old silver tinge to
small articles, such as buttons and
rings, throw them into the above paste,

dry lockwood sawdust until the desired
shade is obtained.

which would naturally fall between the
pins of the regulator il pinned in the
watch, then raising the tweezers till the
balance plvots rest only lightly on some
hard surface, say the top of watch
crystal, the balance is caused to VI
brate. and the vibrations are counted
for one minute or half minute. The
spring is of course so held as to keep
the balance level while vibrating. The
number of vibrations is known for the
common kinds of watches, or is easily
found in any special case by counting
the teeth and leaves of the train, calcu-
lating for the escapement, etc. If the
vibrations of the spring on trial are
but few more or less than desired, it
can be corrected by clasping the spring
little to one side or the other, to
lengthen or shorten it. But if there is
a difference of quite number of vibra-
lions, it is better to select another
spring.

BOstOn's Public Baths.

Boston will soon have the finest pub
lie baths since the days of ancient
Rome. They are to be paid for and
maintained at the expense of the city.
The structure is to be AZ by ITO feet.
On the first floor will be separate wait
ing rooms for men and women. The
space on the second floor will be taken
up by separate bath rooms for men
and women, and the top floor will be
given up to the use of the manager,
who, with his family, will reside in the
bath house. The total number of bath
rooms contemplated in the plans is
fifty. OF these seventeen will be for the
exclusive use of women, and it is esti-
mated that the capacity of these baths
will be about $50 an hour.-Springfield

A Missouri man has invented
swimming device" consisting of a
supporting handle having collapsible
wings fastened to it in such manner
that pulling the handle through the
water opens the wings and holds them
rigid to pull on the water, pushing
the handle, closing the wings and re-
moving the resistance.
To drive lacks or nails in corners or
in places where the hammer and
fingers work inconveniently new de-
vice has a pair of elongated jaws,
which hold the tack in position to be
driven into the wood by driving a
plunger against the tack head, the
plunger having fiat knob at the upper
end to be struck with the hand.
A trolley finder" recently patented
consists of wheel having right and
left hand grooves, increasing in dame
ter toward the center and merging into
a central groove. The wheel can be
placed on the wire at any point with
out the necessity of getting it in the
exact groove, as the turning of the
wheel guides it over to the center from
either side.
An automatic grain measuring de-
vice consists of an elevator with a
chain of buckets and counterpoised
receptacle, into which the grain falls.
When the right quantity is obtained
the receptacle drops downward, stop
ping the elevator and emptying the
grain through an opening in the bot
tom, when it returns to it's position and
automatically starts the elevator again.
A new rain-water filter is designed to
be attached to the gutter pipe and has
metal screen in its upper portion to
separate the coarser impurities from
the water, the screen being set in a
slanting position, so as to clear itself.
The lower portion of the filter contains
a fine wire screen to cleanse the water.
A cut-out is placed above the filter to
direct the water into a surface pipe.
To make a bicycle run easier a Chi
cago man has designed a new crank
at will. A hole Is drilled in the crank
shaft through which the crank slides

crank shaft, the holes being arranged
at several distances from the shaft
thus drawing the crank in or letting
it out, as desired.

From the Globe-Democrat we make
the following clipping;
"The work Of improving the New
York and Erie Canal will begin this
winter, giving employment to 1000
men. By a direct vote the people of
New York authorized the expenditure
of $4,000, 900 on the canals of the state.
The Erie Canal will be deepened to
nine feet. This addition of two feet to
the present depth will admit boats 16
feet longer, with freight capacity en-
larged one-half. 1t is probable that the
seven locks at Lockport will be re-
placed with an elevator lock, lifting
boats 81 feet to the higher level The
necessary rock blasting and dredging
can be done to advantage in the course
of the winter"
The CD. is one of the best pluto
cratic papers in the realm, and we
want to warn it right here that it is
edging mighty near onto two of the
rockbed principles of the crazy Popu-
lists, when it gives out such piece of
news without adverse comment. A d.
rect vote of the people is Direct Legis-
lation in it's purity, and paying out
SO, 900, 900 for improvement on the
States canals Is paternalism of the
worst sort. What are we coming to,
anyway? If the Populists are not sup
pressed they will take this country!
