Bucolic producers of Muscovy ducks, of

the pauper ducks Of hyperboreal foreign

People who cannot get along without ducks

they cannot secure the superior imported

Protect Our Puddle Ducks.

sporting authority in Baltimore pro-
poses high tariff on ducks eggs imported
from Canada. The reason alleged is, that
the canvasback is disappearing from the
Chesapeake because the eggs OF that noble
bird, laid in the distant wilds of the
Dominion, are stolen from the nests by
Canadian exporters and, hence, are not
hatched by their legitimate proprietors.
IL follows that as the canvasback thus is
introduced to the United States by hum
dreds OF barrels, in its elementary state,
it cannot be expected TO come at our call
i'm the adult condition of fat and feathers.
Wherefore the petitioner viii ever pray
take due notice and govern itself accord
ingly.
As in the case OF the Chicago gentleman
who wants an arbitration treaty with
Canada on the subject Of Coal, we are
afraid that little can be done for the
eanvasback, He is wrong in principle.
His egg may be regarded as an infant in
1ustry of the British possessions, and per
haps might be excluded az SUCH That
is, if the egg were not of much less i'm

was not Mr.. Ncwlands' own vote, surely;
therefore il expressed the free and un-
trammeled admiration Of some devoted
friend
Mr.. Newlauds has large business inter
ests in Washington and elsewhere and he
represents still larger ones; and from his
experience as an investor, as well as from
bis Investigations as a student, he has con-
cluded (and nothing can change him from

etemally right but eternally necessary
He has expressed the opinion many a
time that no permanent prosperity can
come 10 this country, but on the other hand
a continued business depression, until our
American financial system is based upon
a new scheme, by which the United states
and the great corporations in it, espe-
cially the rail roads, and all of the firms and
persons in it, can pay their debts They
cannot do this while there is no encour-
agement to produce anything, and hence
no way OF overtaking the everincreasing
burden of Indebtedness
When investors realize that production
in its various processes is going to be
profitable enough so that these debts can
be paid, then the long-desired and much
advertised confidence will return and

Coca Wine and It's Dangers,

There is no doubt that steadily increas-
ing consumption of coca wine 10 a SUBJ
Ject which calls for comment and investi-
cation. Originally coca wine was made
from cocoa leaves, but it is now commonly
a solution of the alkaloid in a sweet and
usually strong alcoholic wine. Not long
ago a physician reported that he had ex-
perienced considerable inconvenience from
taking a glass of standardized cocoa wine,
which he had mistaken for an innocuous
beverage. Still more recently he has been
furnished with details of the case of a man
who, thinking to abjure the use of alcoholic
stiInulants drank cocoa wine so freely that
he died Of delirium tremens. School mis-
tresses, as a rule, have deep-rooted belief
in the efficacy of the popular drug, and
give it totheir pupils on the sightestprovo-
cation, in complete ignorance of the fact
that they are establishing liking not only
for alcohol, but for the far more insidious
and pernicious poison, cocaine. The mania
for taking narcotic stimulants is wide
spread, and is a distinct source of danger
to the national health. 1t Is difficult to
say at present what steps should be taken,
but it is obvious that at no distant date
some restriction will have to be placed on
the sale of cocoa wine and its congeners. -
