WHY Increase the Coal Dut.e

Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents ton. The Dingley
bill proposes to make this IS cents In
1856 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were ,243, S35
tons. The exports were 2.246,2S4 The
figures for Canada were: Imported from
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc..
1873, 404 tens; from Quebec, Ontario,
ETC., 39,9S7; from British Columbia,
627, 257; exports TO these three divisions
respectively, Alb tons, 1,671,302 and
1904. Canada now proposes in case the
Dingley rate is imposed to retaliate By
high duty on our coal, which will
certainly not stimulate exports. Here
is an export business worth twice as
much as the corresponding import bust
ness, and it is proposed to run the risk
of running the former for the sake of
screwing $3.50, 900 taxes out of the lat
ter, and this on the plea Of reviving
American industry Can any sane man
fail to see that, even assuming that
imports do not fall off. it is hardly
worth while for the sake Of paltry
$3.50. 900 TO tempt Canada into running
an established business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield the tax?
Yet this is the way in which 1.-The old

shcrn ans Regret,

A feature of all inaugurations in the

in which the bands have played Hail

viewing stand. The tune itself is not
unpleasant to the ear, but when repeat

were made to provide Il greater variety

Mcckery of a Wool Tax.

The growth of sheep is merely an in
cident of the farm, and no labor is EN-
ployed in wool growing in the West
ern States and Territories, from which
our chief supply of wool comes. The
tiocks Craze winter and summer with
out inclosed pastures or stabling OF
feeding in winter. and the care of g
flock of 5000 sheep is intrusted to a
Mexican greaser and dog. 1t is an
idiotic mockery to assume that a tax
upon wool is protection to labor. 1t is
wholly tax upon the consumers of
the country, and especially upon the
workingmen who largely wear wool
ems in all seasons of the year. Such
taxes not only cannot be justified, but
they cannot possibly be excused

His Back Up.

When Noah blew bis horn. the camel
bumped himself TO get aboard. and by
a curious freak he stayed bumped all
his life. Lumbaso or lame back humps
a mau's back simply because he cannot
straighten himself on account of the
stiffness and soreness accompanying
the ailment Nature helped the camel
to his hump for special purpose. Ma
ture will help a man to get rid of his
hump right off If he uses st. Jacobs
Oil, because the character of the trou-
bic is such that it needs just such a
remedy to warm, soften and straighten
out the contracted muscles. From the
time of Noah down to the present time
men have had lame backs, but only
since the introduction of st. Jacobs Oil
has the best cure for 1t been known.

Champ Clark's Wit.

Champ Clark of Missouri is not only
one of the wittiest men in the house OF
representatives. but he is one Of the
best posted Oh the tariff question.
In ridiculing some Of the rates of the
Dirgley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how man Of
the name of Goodyear went before the
ways and means committee and secured
the tariff he wanted by some skillful
palaver about the great statesmen that
Maine had produced. Then he said:
Mr.. Chairman, that piece of soft
soap made it harder for every poor
man in the United States to build a
house. Governor Dingley swallowed the
bait as quick as trout would swallow
fly [laughterl, and next summer some
poor devil out west, living in a dugout
100 miles from railroad station, who
voted for Mckinley under the deluded
idea that prosperity would come under
his admin :tration and who has not
heard of this tariff bill, ciphers it out
that he can build him two room cot
tage with lumber and other building
materials at the old rate. He goes to the
station to get the lumber and finds that
the price has gone sky high, and he goes
back to his home and says to his wife:
My dear, am sorry that we must stay
in the dugout. We cannot build our lit
tie house. A great man by the name Of
Governor Dingley has put the price Of
lumber and other things so high that
we cannot do it, but, thank Gcd, ho
has left dragons blood free. Laughter. !
Next year, when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr. Dolliver) returns to
that fine agricultural district which he
represents, some man who has not been
able to buy coat because of the high
price of woolen cloth will say to his

A Magnetic Mountain.

In the Arabian tales story is told
about a magnetic mountain which at
tracts irresistibly all ships, and when
they come near extracts every particle
of iron from them, even to the nails.
Such a mountain exists in reality, al
though not quite as dangerous in its
activity as the one mentioned in the
Oriental fairy tale. The island of Born
holm, in the Baltic, belonging to Den
mark, consists almost entirely of mag
netite, and its magnetic influence is
very well known to the navfgators Of
those waters. and also much feared by
them, not on account of the possibility
of its extracting the nails from their
ships, but because Of its influence on
the magnetic needle. which makes the
steering of ship almost impossible.'
This influence is felt even at a distance
of miles. and when this island is sight
ed all mariners on the Baltic discon-
tinue steering their course by the
needle, but turn to well known light
houses and other helps to direct their
course. Between Bornholm and the
mainland there is bank of rock under
water which is very dangerous to navi-
CATION because of it being constantly
submerged; vessels have been frequent
ly wrecked at that point. The mag
netic influence of that ore bank is so
powerful that a magnetic needle sus-
pended freely in boat over the bank
will point down. and if not disturbed
will remain in a perfectly perpendicU
lar rline-PhiladeIphia Record.
