A POSTAL CARD CAMPAIGN.
The American Protective Tariff League

The American Protective Tariff League,
an organization of years standing with
headquarters in New York city, has
started in to drive Congress, telling the
editors of Republican newspapers "that
Congress does not appreciate the con.
ditions that prevail" and urging that
"a postal card campaign be inaugurated
telling United States Senators the peo.
pie wish immediate tariff legislation"
The anxiety for more tariff it thus ex-
plains:
The entire country, as you know, is
suffering beyond description from the
industrial invasion of goods of other
countries through the Wilson.Gorman
free trade tariff.
Times are growing harder every day,
and with the vast amount Of foreign
merchandise coming to this country,
the good effects of protective tariff are
already discounted. We can have no
prosperity until protection is embodied
in our laws.
Here is an admission that the McKin-
ley prosperity has not come, although
Republican papers are trying to con-
vince people the prosperity is here
These doctors, however, don't agree,
though of the same school. "The in
dustrial invasion of goods" is attributed
to the Wilson German tariff, which is
not a free trade affair at all. The sober
fact is that it is the higher and outrage.
GUS duties which are about to be levied
that induces this stocking of the market
ahead. But these protection crsnks
never could tell the truth, for every
thing must conform to their selfish and
fool hallucination.
The people were not told during the
campaign last year that they would
have to wait till Mckinley tariff were
enacted ere prosperity wonld dawn.
Nothing of the sort. The people were
, told that the good times would surely
dawn the morning after election if only
Bryan was defeated. His defeat was to
work the miracle and no mistake. But
it seems now we are further from good
times than ever, and times are worse
now than year ago.
For thirty years and over the country
has been under Republican protection
and also under their financial policy, and
we have been realizing the result. Ex-
isting conditions make an indictment
that cannot be set aside. Their false
promises and vicious policies are now
better understood. Official statistics
} show too that the "invasion" of goods
into the country was greater under the
Mckinley law than it has been under
the Wilson.Gorman act, and hence
collections on imports have been less,
thus embarrassing the treasury. Under
the Wilson. German law the balances of
exports over imports have been the lar
gest in our history.
People may remember that the. dis
/, tress in 1894 was charged upon Congress
as they were "tinkering the tariff" May
t not this Republican tinkering and
tampering with the tariff have some.
thing to do with the present distress
Or does it only apply to Democratic
Congress- Perhaps, however, but fol
this tariff disturbance we might see
4 signs of that prosperity SO confidently
. and lavishly promised last year in the
event of McKinley's election.

George Clark, the eldest son, was then
at school, but soon after his graduation the
father and son set up the business of max

van G. Clark, the second son, was made a
member of the firm. The elder Clark died
in 1887 at the age of S3, and George Clark
died several years before his father. The
Clarks never solicited business, never is
sued price list and never made an exhi-
bition of their works, but their fame
spread all over the world.
The first big glass which they turned
out was an IS inch object glass which was
ordered for the Michigan university in
1860, but which finally went to Chicago

human patience as well as rare talent.
Ten years ago the block from which the
lens was made was taken from the furnace
of NJ. Mantois, Paris. In his factory alone
can such huge disks of optical glass be
produced. This one weighed over 600
pounds and cost $500 while still in the
rough. Yet months had to elapse before
1t was ready for shipment 1t had to be
tested in various ways by Mr. Clark be-
fore he began work on it, SO it was not
until 1890 that the disk was brought
across the ocean and placed in Mr.. Clark's
workshop.
In 1899 work was actually begun on the
lens The factory where this important
art is carried on is low, shambling brick

the lensmaker has produced the great tele.
scopes which have revealed to astronomers
countless wonders of the depths of space.
For two years the big disk was ground.
The first grinding was done with coarse
emery powder, and as the process was con-
tinued the emery used was finer and finer.
At last, when almost the exact dimen-
sions had been obtained and the disk had
been reduced in size almost one-half, the
polishing was begun. For year the disk
was rubbed with jewelers. rouge mixed
with beeswax. This is a mixture so soft
that II applied to the purest gold plate 1t

Inch by inch tho surface was rubbed until
the maker pronounced it perfect.
Then came the final testing. In long

light placed behind it. Then, 60 feet
away, an eye piece was set In order to bo
perfect every ray of light had to be collect
ed and focused at that distance. An in
equality as big as a SPIDERS web would
disturb the focal point and would have to
be removed, bur all these exacting con-
ditions were mot, and the big lens, the
largest and finest in the world, was de.

CAN PURCHASE NEEDED SUPPLIES

Controller Bevvlcr's Opinion ON the
AIississippi Relief Appropriation. .a,
Controller Bowler of the treasury has
rendered to the Secretary Of War an opin-
ion on a question submitted by the Sec
retary, Whether, under the joint resolu-
ton of April Z, 1897. for the relief of suf-
ferers by the overflow of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries, he is authorized
to purchase and distribute as part of the
subsistence stores authorized by such
resolution medical and other necessary sup
plies, or whether he is limited to the pur-
chase and distribution OF such articles as
come within the technical definition of
subsistence stores, used in the army
regulations"
Mr.. Bowler. in his opinion, said: II have
no reason to believe that Congress intend
ed by the use of the words subsistence
stores to confine the character of articles
to be purchased and distributed under the
power conferred upon you by the joint
resolution to such articles as come within
the definition of subsistence stores used in
the army regulations
THE evident purpose Of the resolution
was to enable the Secretary of war to
furnish to the destitute sufferers from
the overfowed districts sHeh supplies as
would enable persons under the circum-
stances IN which these petple find them
selves to temporarily substst while driven
from their own homes and from their or
binary means Of support. -
THE word subsistence has general as
well as limited meaning. Under the
general definition of the word are included
That which Is furnished means of sup
port; livelihood. I think the word as used
by Congress in this joint resolution was
intended to have this broad meaning. and
that whatever, within your discretion, you
may determine necessarynto furnish as a
means of support to these destitute people
fairly comes within the Intention Of Con-
gress. Medical supplies clearly come with
in this definition of the word subsistence"
