The vastly superior power of brain
cells to resist decay suggests to DR.. Ste
phens the invincibility Of thought life
in its final victory over deaths decay.
This very suggestive experimentalist
refers to the mental change which habit
induces soon after each individual has
reached the "prime of life" Up to that
point there are energy and hope in all the
tissues. After that point all the histo-
logical structures Of the body lose heart
and make no effort to stem the tide
which sets for 1.-THE downward path to
death"
The doctor declares that the achieve
ment of modern special education,
which enables the deaf to hear with
their eyes and tones up relaxed vocal
chords, which brings it to pass that the
blind see with their fingers, taken in
connection with the great longevity Of
ancient races, as described in the Old
Testament and as authenticated in
monuments, shows that unusual length
of life has been fait accompli of his
tory and suggests that the determina-
tion Of life length is possibly and prac-
tically within the domain Of thought.
AS humanity in its physiological ex-
preston is wholly a compromise with
perfection, DIR. Stephens argues that bet
ter food selection and more watchful
outlook against the introduction of for
eign and inorganic material into the sys-
tenn cannot help increasing the life po-
tential of each unit of the race.
DIR. Stephens holds that what is
known as soul" is merely cell expert
I ence, the knowledge acquired by cells
collectively and individually during
years Of hereditary transmission. This
view is the same held by Sir William
Thomson and Thomas A. Edison. HI

and life, generation after generation

Protecting the Few Woolgr0wers.

Suppose the Dingley duties on wool
would give the woolgrowers all the
protection claimed and that the price
Of wool would actually go up the full
amount of the duty, which, Of course,
is absurd. What would be the effect up
on the country at large?'
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, statistician,
estimates the annual wool product at
500, 000,0 900 out Of total of $15,aO0,-
900, 900 produced by all the workers Of
the country and the persons dependent
on the wool industry at 100000 out Of
total population Of $4,000, 900. The
wool duty then means that out Of every
$40 persons 239 are to be ''held up'' for
the benefit of the other one. This is a
sample Of what protection does. Of
course more than 800, 1000 persons may
sometimes raise a few sheep. but the
interests of these others are more those
Of the consumer than Of the sheep raiser,
and they would lose more because Of in
creased cost Of woolens than they would
gain by the increased price Of wool.
The protective tariff system is farce
when considered in connection with the
farmer or the workingman. Will they
. ever fully appreciate it?
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1897-05-01
Why Increase the Coal Duty?


Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents a ton. The Dingley
bill proposes to make this rs cents. In
1856 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were 1,243,83
tons. The exports were 2,246,284 The
figures for Canada were: Imported from
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc.,
1884 tons; from Quebec, Ontario,
etc., 1857; from British Columbia,
627,257; exports to these three divisions
respectively, Alb tons, l,67l,S02 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. 600 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
thing works. i. T.. ~

public confidence in the money mark

under the law Of 1862 or under the +.
gamptiou act Of 1875. He thinks 60,

An Odious Tax.

The tin plate makers wish to boom
their business by increasing the duty
on imported tin plate, to the injury Of
the canning industry and other indus
tries that flourish by reason Of cheap
tin plate. Another blow is struck at
business by abolishing the rebate on ex-
ported tin cans. Now canned goods ex-
ported in cans made of imported tin are
allowed drawback of the duty paid,
and thus an export business has been
built up in canned fruits, oysters, vege-
tables, petroleum, etc. Over 4, 900, 900
tin cans are sent abroad annually, con-
tanning oil which completes with that Of
Russia. When Russia can buy tin plate
at $2.70 a box, while we have to pay
eS. so for it. it is evident that our COM
petition will be rendered difficult. Mr..
pingley robs Peter to pay Paul. Balti-

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 tho
best posted on the tariff question.
In ridiculing some of the rates Of the
Dingley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how a 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 [laughter], 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 stration 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
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, I 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 God, he
has left dragons blood free. Laughter. ]
Next year, when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr DELIVERY 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 wooden cloth will say to his
neighbor, There comes Dolliver, who
put up. the price of wooden goods. But
the successful candidate for the post
office in that district says, oh, but Dol
liver put divi-divi on the free list!'
And in chorus they sing, 'Dolliver and
divi-divi forever. Laughter. Ap-
plause on the Democratic side.l

Many persons, wise ones, too. haye
sndeavored to account for the depression
Sn railroad properties and their failure
to pay dividends, even though their
freight rates are in some caseB almost
prohibitive SO far as the agricultural
shipper is concerned. What the railroad
companies themselves think of it is per-
haps summed in a paper in The Forum
by President O. D. Ashley Of the Wa
bash road. First Of all, President Ash
ley declares we have too many parallel
competing lines. He cites as to the fac
that there are now six railway lines be
tween Chicago and St. Louis and sever!
between Chicago and Kansas City when
two or three could easily handle all tn.
traffic. He declares that only two line
are needed between The Atlantic ant
Pacific coasts, whereas there are nov
six, counting the Canada Pacific =

AS other evils that have crippled IL

and oppressive legislation" in some Q
the western states and that terrib!s j,
terstate commerce law which will L
let the railways pool their earnings, q:
as he says, adopt d simple and harmlF

But Mr.. Ashley has already given Il:

Blaine Opposed a Duty on Hides.

The following letter from Secretary
Of State James G. Blaine in 1890 is
supposed to have had great weight with
the ways and means committee:
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1850.
DEAR Mr.. MCK1NLEY-It is great mistake
to take hides from the free list, where they
have been for so many years. It is slap in
the face to the South Americans, with whom
we are trying to enlarge our, trade. It will
benefit the farmer by adding to per cent TO
the price Of his children's shoes: It will yield
profit to the butcher only, tho last man that
needs it. The movement is njudicious from
beginning to end. in every form and phase
Pray stop it before it sees light. Such move
nents as this for protection viii protect the
Republican party into u speedy retirement
Yours hastily, JAMES G. BLAINE.
Hon. William Mckinley. Chairman Ways and
Means.
Where is the Elaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share of protection and foolishly
imagine that they can get it by duty
on hides? 1t is perfectly consistent with
the protection system to tax hides, es-
pecially as the bulk Of the tax would
probably go to few monopoly butch
ers and ranchmen. But observe some Of
oA4O OAOOiS ApOA4 OAA AAOuoG4 AOas
The importations Of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at $780,
216,528. The goatskins were valued at
$40, 303,359. The former were mostly
converted into sole leather, beltings
and such like heavy material, for which
our native hides are not thick enough.
The goatskins are not produced in this
country, -:,-@-
From this raw material we not only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere in
the world, but we exported finished
products Of the value Of $40, 242, 756.
Without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been i'm
possible, and our own people, as Mr.
Blaine pointed out, would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear: The
wages paid to our workers in leather
last year amounted to $25, 542, 1876.
