PINdREE ROAsTs THEFT.
Somebody Am Michigan Had Better
Beware

|
Gov. Hazen A. Pingree of Michigan
in a speech before the Independent
club OF Buffalo, created a sensation By
his attack on "so-cal1ed Republican
leaders" who value the power of the
dollar to bring them success more thar
they do that of the vote.
Gov. Pingree at the outset quoted
Abraham Lincoln's declaration on the
field at Gettysburg:
That government of the people, by
the people, and for the people shall
not perish from the earth"
He continued: To-day all the trusts
and monopolies which are bleeding the
country have taken refuge under the
wing of the Republican party, because
they fear the Democratic party, which
has kicked them out. In my own
state the railroads, which have never
paid their just share of taxes, have
been faithful ally of the Republican
party. 1 have had something to do
with the effort of the people of Michi-
gan to get readjustment of railroad
taxation rates, and every railroad at
torney and railroad doctor, every
little country newspaper editor who
has pass, every politician who hopes
for financial 'favors to help re-elect
him, is out of breath crying: 'Pingree
is not Republican, They cry this
because was elected on the Republi-
can ticket by majority of sc, 1000 and
they do not want me reelected. King
Doodle cries: Il am the party and there
is none beside me-
81 say that any so-ca1led Republican
who thinks that the interests of rail-
roads, trusts, monopo1ies or syndics tes
are of more Importance than the inter
ests of the average man had better
get out of the Republican party in
Michigan, for am going to fight it
out on Lincoln's platform no matter
what they call me.
"The monopo1ist, the franchise
grabber, the lobbyist are all extreme
partisans, and when anyone opposes
their schemes they cry, You are at
tackiug the party When they elect
themselves to Office by force of money,
they ascribe it to the divine interven-
tion of Providence in behalf of the
nation and it's honor. The masses of
the Republican party do not want to
stand sponsor for those agencies which
are playing the mischief with the
country's welfare any more than the
Democrats do. We have, however,
some so-ca11ed leaders in our party
who have more faith in the power of
money that in the power of the voting
masses.
"Your membership is composed of
men of all parties. I believe in indie
pendence in politics; am somewhat
of an independent myself. Those of
us who believe in government for the
people should not hesitate to denouuce
the men of our own party who would
make ours only government for the
benefit of the almighty dollar and the
possessors thereof"

The largest pin factory in the world
is that of Birmingham, England,
where 100000 pins are manufac-
tured every working day. All the
other pin factories in England togeth-
er turn out about 1900, 600 pins every
day. The daily output of pins in
France exceeds %, ,0OO, 900 and Germany
and other countries in Europe manu-
facture about 10, ,0OO, 900 more daily, so
that the total production of pins

worn out or spoiled by bending, but
almost 90 per cent are lost. Taking
the population of Europe at ESQ, ,0OO, 900
every third person must lose a pin
every day to use up the production of
pins per day. The value of this loss
would be 5000.

The indications for the United
States are that Colorado will lead in
the production of gold for 1897, as it is
estimated by Ex-Governor Grant that
it will not be less than $40, 900, 600. Cal
ifornia will follow, with product of
probably 1900, 900. With the excep-
tion of the South Appalachian range,
it is believed that there will be an in
crease in every producing state and
territory of the gold product over that
of 1896. The product for the year 1897
from all sources will approximate
S240. 600, 900.

Uses For Cork,

Among the many articles made from
curk waste is the familiar cork grip for
bicycle handles. By a secret process
the waste is pressed into the required
shape, and, strange to say, the grips thus
made are stronger and more durable
than those manufactured from cork
wood, although the latter gives much
smoother finish. Cork slabs for insulat-
ing purposes, life preservers, cork soles
and insoles and pcnholders are also
made from cork waste. 1t is very large
ly used for filler in the lining of cold
storage and ice houses, since cork is a
nonconductor of heat.
Another and a unique nso of cork is
that to which it is put in the interior
ironwork and plates Of ironclads and
steamers between the bottom of the YES
sci and the second or false floor in order
to prevent rust. The interior surface of
the ironwork is coated with paint, and
while the latter is still wet it is pow
dered with cork dust in the same way
that wood is sanded to resemble stone.
The waste sometimes takes the place Of
asbestus il covering steam pipes. Both
cork wood and waste make very de-
sirable handle or grip for fish poles,
which is a comparatively recent idea.
Cork hats and helmets, gill or seine
,orks, ring buoys and mooring buoys
cork tenders for vessels and cork CABS or
washers for tops of cans represent also
ome of the uses of this article. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

A Dry Salt Bath.

A dry salt bath is said to tone up the
general system and renovate the COM
plexion as if by magic. II never had
anything do me SO much good, y" says a
woman who has tried it this spring.
when my fancy began to turn serious.
ly to that tired feeling with budding
trees and buzzing bees, which it does
every year as. 8lrely as the youths does
to love, my physician advised me to
give tonics the 60 by and to try instead
dry salt baths. l nearly filled large
earthen jar with the coarsest salt 1 could
get and added enough water to this to
make sort of thick salt paste, but not
enough to dissolve the mineral. Every
morning when l get up take this up
III handfuls and rub it briskly over nv
body. Next l jump into tub Of clear,
cold water and take a thorough dous-
ing, but in a great hurry. This being
done, take a brisk rub down with a
Turkish towel. The effect is delicious
1t gives one sense of exhilaration. But
the best part Of the dry salt bath is not
the feeling of freshness and renewed
life that it imparts, but the soft, satiny
texture OF the skin. "-Exchange.
