only things to observe are to have ground

What Increased Imports Mean.


The great increase in the treasury receipts
from importatioDs of foreign goods during
the month of April, compared with the
corresponding month of year ago, affords
a practical illustration CT the necessity of
some such legislation as was contemplated
by the retroactive amendment carried in the
Dingley Tariff bill as it passed the House of
Representatives. The importers are taking
advantage of the existing low rates of duty
on imports to rush in foreign goods in
quantities far in excess of the legitimate
wants of trade. The result of this will not
only be an over stocking of the markets of
this country, but the aims and purposes
of the Dingley bill, in giving an increase of
revenues, will be defeated or postponed for
many months to come. The increase in the
receipts from import duties is shown by the
figures reported by the Treasury bureau of
statistics. During the month just closed
the receipts of customs dues aggregated
S24, 454, $50, whereas the receipts for the
corresponding month of year ago from
the same sources were only $1,000, 900.
Tat the. as been some sndScas.llkoo2 OF
a returning. prosperity will not be denied,
even by the dissatisfied democrats of the
country, but 1t will be difficult to convince
even the most optimistic and hopeful per-
son in the land that the restoration to
prosperity has been so general and unmis-
IN of
imported goods during April, 1897, compar-
ed with April, 1896. The manufacturing
industries of the country are still running
on short time, wages are still depressed and
the power Of consumption among the people
consequently remains impaired, while the
demand for commodities has not yet reach
ed its normal state throughout the country.
For this reason there is no demand among
the people for the tremendous increase in
importations, and it is well known that the
goods now being rushed in are piled in
warehouses for future delivery to the det-
riment of American labor and industry.
The longer the Dingley Tariff bill is de-
layed In its passage through Congress, the
greater tie stock of foreign goods that will
be accumulated in the warehouses of this
country to compete with domestic COM
modities at time when the industries of
the United States are struggling to recover
from the condition of stagnation and de-
moralization into which they were plunged
by the Democratic Free Trade policy.
The other results of these importations will
be the overstocking of the country with
commodities, which means decrease in
importations under the new Tariff law for
many months after it is enacted, AMI the
expected increase in revenues will, on that
account, be long deferred. The increase in
customs receipts from 81, 900 to $24,.
asa, 600 during a single month of a year
indicates an inflow of foreign goods that
will be great hindrance to the return of
prosperity among the industries of the
country and among our people -American
Economist.

Wool Coming by the Ship Load.

The reports of the wool sales in three Of
the principal markets of the east during the
past week demonstrates the necessity of
prompt action on the Dingley bill by the
senate.
In Boston, New York and Philadelphia
the sales of the wool amount to "a, 036, 800
pounds. of which 2O,271, 800 pounds were
foreign, as against 1906, 100 pounds for
the corresponding week of 1892, when only
1874, 900 pounds were foreign. This means
that the sales of foreign wool last week
were about three times as great as in the
same week of 1892, when everything was
booming in this country and the wooden
factories were working full time. Now the
manufacturers are doing scarcely anything,
and the orders for woolens are very slack.
The meaning of this is plain. The i'm
porters of foreign woods are rushing them
into our markets to get ahead of the Dingiey
bill, and its higher duties, and if the pres
ent rush continues the market of the United
States are likely to be supplied before long
with enough foreign wool to last at least a
year, during which time the government
will be deprived Of the revenue it should
derive from the Dingley wool duties.
If there was spark of patriotism in the
breasts of the democrats, populists, and
silver men in the United States Senate they
would join with the republicans and pass
the Dingley bill as soon as it is reported by

Arithmetic.

The science of arithmetic is attribut-
ed by some to the Egyptians, by others
to the Chaldeans and by others again TO
the Chinese. From an early date, prob
ably 1000 years before Christ, the
swanpan, or atacus, was in use in China
for performing arithmctical colnputa-
tions. The Chinese also use their fingers
for the same purpose, every joint of
each finger having different arithmet-
ical value. Arithmetic was brought
into Greece from Egypt by Tkalcs 900
years B. @. One Of the Oldest known
treatises upon arithmetic is by E1clid,
in the third century before Christ. The
first arithmetic printed in England was
in 1929, by Tonstall, bishop of Durham.
Until the American Revolution most Of
the arithmetics used in the colonies
were brought from England. One of the
earliest American arithmetics was n
work called "Arithmetic-Vulgar and
Decimal" published at Boston in 1924

the famous Santa Fe route, which
makes the run to Southern California
in less than three days. This train is
composed of Pullman palace vestibuled

ing car of the most luxurious pattern
ever designed.
Another Improvement in the Santa
Fe service is in the time of the weekly

Boston every Thursday at II 80 a. M,
and reach California the following
Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower
and the time faster via these excur-
sions than via any other.
The Santa Fe route is the only line
running entirely over it's own tracks

Installation of New ofticers-Reports of
Secretary and Treasurer-The Society as
FIourishlng as Ever.
The meeting of Clan Mcleod No. 81,
Order Of Scottish Clans, held last night
was q banner one. Besides the initia-
ton of two new members the installa-
ton of officers for 1897 took place. The
installing officer was Past Chief George
Wallace, who was assisted by Clans
man Stevenson as royal henchman and
Clansman Angus Mcpherson as royal
secretary.
The officers installed were: Chief,
Thomas P. Gillispie; past chief, w. L.
Andrew; tanist, M. Fraser; chaplain,
Archibald Gardner; secretary, James
Mustarde; financial secretary, Robert
Webster; treasurer, G. M. Andrew; sem
ior henchman, George West, jr,; junior
henchman, Murdoch Dingwall; sene-
schal, James Anderson; warden, Will
liam Affleck; sentinel, George West, ST..
At the conclusion of the ceremony
some very interesting speeches We're
made by the new chief and other prom
inent members of the society.
The reports of the financial secretary
and treasurer were read and considered
highly satisfactory, both showing that
Clan Mcleod is as it has always been,
a model clan, both from it's financial
and social position. The Order of Scot
fish Clans generally is in a very pros
porous and flourishing condition. Dur
ing the past year the members have
been called upon to meet only twelve
assessments, and the royal executives
have been enabled to begin the new
year by not calling any assessment for
the month Of January. This should be
highly satisfactory to the members and
reflects the highest credit on the eff
cheney of those at the head of affairs.
The membership of the order has also
been in a booming condition of late,
The roll call now reaches over the four
thousand mark
After the business had been complet-
ed a social hour was spent and greatly
| enjoyed by all the members in attend
ance.
