about the Tariff Bill.

Senator Heitfeld does not talk much
for publication at Washington. but he
talks some at home. This il what he
told the Lewiston Tribune about the
tariff bill the other day:
sit is fraud of the worst kind and
the people will soon find it out. Il will
not produce enough revenue to run the
government and bonds will have to be
again issued or some other scheme
evolved. On all the things from which
revenue is derived. the duties are al
most prohibitive and consequently the
government income will be abridged.
What is there in the bill for the benefit
Of the farmers? Nothing, absolutely
nothing. The duty was put on wheat
with view Of soft-soaping the farm
ers, but they are intelligent enough TO
see through this trickery. The people
will condemn Il.
even the Republican Senators could
not supply the Senate with information
regarding the probable effect OF the
tariff schedule on the price Of sugar.
and experts. representing the trusts,
alone knew the merit Of that part of
the bill. But the people are now hav-
ing free, practical and impressive
illustration of that characteristic fea-
ture.
Asked as to the financial question
Senator Heitfeld said: "The currency
message of the President was all bosh
and meant to deceive the people. So
is the monetary committee now travel
ing around Europe. 1t is a common
josh in Washington and no one expects
any good TO result from it. But the
cause OF silver is still strong and grow
ing more so all the time. am conf
dent the election next fall will give the
next Congress to the silverites, and in
1900 we will elect successor TO Presi-
dent Mckinley. You people out West
have no idea how dull it is in the East
Our great grain crops, with the failure
in foreign crops which give us good
prices, make things prosperous out
here, but not SO in the East. Conf
dence has not struck them, nor will the
new tariff bill bring them relief"

left an establishment the like of which
does not exist elsewhere. To-day his
son Friedrich continues on the same
path, and a few ventures of gigantic
size have been made since his acces-
sion. Beside the enormous cast steel
works in Essen the following indus
trial establishments belong to him:
The steel works in Amman, the Gruson
iron works in Buckau, near Magdeburg;
three smelling works, three huge coal
mines, a score of iron mines in Ger
many, several large iron mines in Bill
bao, Spain; the big shooting place in
keppen, and another one in Dulmen,
three sea-going steamers and number
of smaller river vessels, Guarries of
stone, clay, sandstone, and last, but not
least, the huge Germania ship yards in
Berlin and kiel.
The latter are now being enlarged
into the biggest shipyards in the world,
so as to enable Germany to build in
her own yards any and all vessels for
commerce, pleasure and the navy shc
may need in the future and thus render
her wholly independent of British
yards. The shooting places, where the
artillery experts of the world come
from time to time to test new types Of
ordnance invented or improved by
Krupp, are the largest in the world,
notably the one at Keppen, near Essen.
1t was there, on April 2s. 1892, in the
presence of the German emperor, that
a shot was fired out of 24-centimeter
gun whose steel-clad shell (weighing
nearly 500 pounds) was projected dis
tance of 20,226 meters, or over IS Eng
lsh miles, feat hitherto unrivalei;
and still later, last fall. the emperor
witnessed tests with the new quick
firing naval guns which were even more
astonishing.
1t was because of all these triumphs
of mechanical skill that Krupp received
/ ne flattering cognomen of the "gun
king" Up to this hour he has sold to
the armies and navies of the world near
y 10000 guns of large caliber. In his
enormous works in Essen there are 81

When anything ceases to be useful
nature begins work at once to get rid of

do away with the seed in oranges which

on cuttings. The same tendency is seen

and other modes of artificial propaga-

HARNESSiNG THE TIDES.
One Instance in Which the Power
Hns Necn SnccessfuIIY AnnIieI

one Instance In Which the Power
Has Been Successfully Applied.
Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization of
the energy developed by the rise and
fall of the tides, but the intermittent
character of the power has usually pre-
vented any satisfactory solution of the
problem. There is, however, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in a very SIM
pie manner. Along the river front at
Liverpool there is a tendency for the
accumulation of silt against the dock
walls, requiring occasional dredging
for its removal. Instead of using scoop
dredges, this mud is removed at diff
ferent periods 10Y the use of tide power
in the following manner: Along the
base of the dock wall is laid pipe, per-
forated with holes, directed outward,
this pipe being connected with the in
terror of the dock system, and suitable
valves being provided to permit or
check the flow of water. When the
tide is very low, and consequently the
head of water measured from the sur
face in the docks is at it's greatest, a
sudden opening of the connection per-
mits rapid flushing action by the
water escaping through the holes in the
pipe at the base of the walls, securing
out the mud and driving it out into
| the river to be carried away. AS the
tides at Liverpool average about 25 feet
Or more, it is evident that this simple
form of dredging apparatus may be
very effective, and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest, it does not
interfere with the regular use of the
docks. Ultimately, no doubt, the in
PRODUCTION of practical and economical
forms of power storage will render the
equalization of tide power commercial
ly practicable, but at the present time
this example serves to demonstrate the
/ fact that solar and lunar attraction
as expressed by the tides, have beer
