A STOVE has been invented 20 cool
rooms in summer. Salt, n small guam
tity of ice and patent chemical are
used, and the stove becomes so cold
that, IL hand be placed upon 1t, the
skin will instantly blister. AS salt is
cheap, the chemical not dear, and as
the stove can make its own ice in the
oven, the device is one that will be
likely to come into general use in
warm climates.

The enormous strides in industrial
progress" under free trade seem TO
have skipped the British farms, and we
can imagine that the British farmers
are hardly as enthusiastic in their par
ticipation OF the jubilee as the. British
ship owners and builders who have
benefited by protection. A decrease of
2 10000 acres I'm the area Of improved
farms under free trade contrasts
strongly with our increase of 254,600,-
600 acres under protection. 1.-THE loss
in British agricultural capital since
1880 has averaged 30.000,o00 a year."
we are told. This loss falls upon the
land owners, but they are not the only
sufferers, for IL appears "that the ten
ants likewise lose 4 31,000.000 n year"
OF manufactures we learn that silk
manufacture has steadily declined
since 1897. The output now ranges
from 6 5000, 900 to G6,000,000 per an
num-" Here the reverse has been the
case, our output of silk manufactures
having increased from $41. 100000 In
1880 TO $s7, POS. asa in 1890.
Upon the grounds of sentiment the
British jubilee was entirely successful,
as much SO as an American jubilee
would be "a movement in a forward
direction" TO celebrate our industrial
progress, which is unprecedented in
the history of nations. Why not have
an American jubilee in 1900?

British Facts and Figures from
Mulhall's "Shilling's Worth"
American Progress Compared viii
British Prosperity "a Move
ment I'm N Forward Direc-
ton" In the states.

There is no nation Of the world but
learned with pleasure of the successful
celebration of the jubilee OF her majes-
ty Queen Victoria. OF the various fetes
and festivities the daily press rendered
account. Turning our attention more
directly to the economic events of her
majesty's reign, we find that these have
already been touched upon by more
than one British commercial and finan-
cial paper. A correspondent Of the Lon
don Financial News deals exhaustively
with Mr.. Mulhal's National Progress
in the Queens Reign" saying that:
The period during which the queen has
reigned has been marked by enormous
strides I'm Industrial progress. No previous
monarch has had the satisfaction OF wit
Messing during the tenure OF the throne
so vigorous a movement I'm a forward di-
rection.. When the queen assembled

scarcely 26,O00,O00 inhabitants. To-day
they number just 40.000.00O. the country I'm
the meantime having shed no less than
600 OF persons who have found new
homes beyond the sea.
The figures quoted from MulhalPs
jubilee "shilling's worth suggest a
comparison between British and Amer
lean progress during the same go years.
Taking first, therefore, the question of
population, we have the following:

THE TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.
Mistaken Views of Democrats and
Popultsts.

The republican senatorial caucus was
wise in deciding to omit all antitrust
amendments to the tariff bill. A few
republicans, a large majority of the
democrats and all the populists appear
to want trust provision Incorporated
in the bill, but the republican caucus
has taken the sensible view of the mat
ter and has decided to keep this sub
iect out of the measure. In reality, the
matters of the trusts and of the tariff
are separate and distinct questions.
Neither has any necessary connection
with the other. The democrats and
populists think, or shy they think, these
are part of one question, and that the
tariff is the parent of the trusts. They
are mistaken. The strongest trust in
the United States, the Standard Oil
combine" is not aided by the tariff in
the slightest degree, for petroleum, re-
fined as well as crude, is on the free
list. One Of the most arbitrary and
iniquitous trusts in this country is
that which controls hard coal, and yet
not cent Of duty is imposed on hard
coal
Legislation against the trusts is need
ed, but tariff bill Is not the place TO
put 1t. The two questions are subject.
ed TO entirely different sets OF consid-
erations. Arguments for high duties or
for low duties have no necessary bear
ing on the subject OF trusts, either in
the abstract or the concrete. There are
trusts in all countries. Trusts have
been, as has already been shown,
formed in articles which are on the
free list, and there are trusts In COM
modities ON which duties are levied.
They are omnivorous and ubiquitous.
Invention, discovery, division of labor
and other factors have resulted In COM
binations of all sorts-in manufactures,
In distribution, in commerce, in the en-
ployment of capital in its various
shapes, and in the organization of work.
ingmen into unions and declarations.
This matter OF trusts Is vast and
delicate question. 1t must be dealt
with on it's own merits, and without
any entangling alliances between II and
the tariff, or any other subject. Neces-
surily, the discussion of trust bill
would ordinarily occupy the time OF
| congress for weeks or months. lncor-
porated in the tariff bill IL would delay
that measure mt time when delay Is
the thing which men Of all parties and
In all industries are especially anxious
TO avert. The trust question Is too
large TO be precipitated in the closing
days OF n session, and at season when
everybody Is leaving the national cap
ital who can get away from H. IL de-
serves more intelligent treatment than
could be given TO IL at the present time.
Even IL there were any relationship be-
tween IL and the tariff, the trust ques-
tIon is entirely too important to he

The growth of population in the
United Kingdom during her majesty's
reign has been 12,610,000 persons ex-
elusive OF 100000 of persons who
have found new homes beyond the sea"
We can, without doubt, claim that T.
100000 of these British emigrants were
''shed" upon American soil, our total
immigration since 1s73-less than half
the period under review-having been
9,045,000 souls. Allowing them the TO-
100000 who left England's shores dur
Ing the enormous strides In industrial
progress" II appears that their total
increase of population was 22,610,000
as against our increase of SO, $50, SAT, our
growth of population exceeding theirs
by 10000, 900 persons. AS a matter of
fact our actual increase has been 40,-
00o.o0 of population in excess of the
British because they cannot honestly
claim az a part Of their population the
100000 who were "shed" on other
shores. The next. comparison made is

During the last 20 years, since 1878,
The British free-trade foreign trade
has increased only by $235,ooo,0oo a
year as compared with our increase of
almost $500, O00, 900 a year under protec-
ton. which Is more than double the
British increase. We commend this
point TO the earnest consideration of
our frce-trade friends who never tire
Of telling MS that IL IN impossible TO ac-
quire any foreign trade unless we throw
our ports open TO the free admission of
foreign goods. The facts prove other
wise. But where the protection policy
has been adopted In England. and where
we have adhered TO free trade, the rate

A case of recent occurance is re-
ported from near Winthrop, that
ought to send a couple of men over
the road speedily. A farmers
wife recently died and he was soon
after visited by young man who
sold him a monument costing $125,
made by Minneapolis firm.
The farmer gave his note for the
amount, which note the agent
turned over to another man in
payment of debt. The Mimi
eapolis firm failing to receive any
thing for the monument sent the
account to Gibbon attorney, who
persuaded the farmer to pay, his
receipt would be good against the
note. The Gibbon attorney used
the money, and then the monu-
ment firm sued the farmer and OBJ
tanned a judgement, which the
farmer was forced to pay. Hav-
inc paid the 1925 twice, with costs,
the farmer yet owes for the note.
