How Protection Works.

The United States consul at Glasgow.
Scotland, reports an incident in Amer
lean competition with foreign countries
in their own markets which shows the
absurdity of protection to our indus
tries Some time ago the city of Glas-
Cow advertised for 1000 tons of iron
piping. The advertisement was in
serted as u mere matter of form to CON-
ply with the law, the presumption be-
ing that as matter of course a
Glasgow maker of iron pipes would
get the contract. But upon opening
the proposals it was found that a Phil
adelphia firms bid was the lowest by
several thousand dollars. That did
not please the city council at all, so it
rejected all bids on technicality, for
the purpose of giving the Glasgow firm
another chance. When the second
bids were opened it was found that the
Glasgow maker had reduced his fig

can competitor, but when the council
reached the second bid of the Philadel-
phia firm it was Mortified to see that
the figures had been scaled down even
below the second bid of the Glasgow
maker.
The Dingley tariff exacts duties so
high on foreign iron pipe that it is
practically shut out of American mar
kets. That is to say, our own iron
pipe makers demand and receive pro-
lection against the Importation of iron
pipe made In Glasgow because they
could not compete against the ''pauper
labor" of Scotland, but they can go to
Glasgow, 5000 miles away, and deliver
iron pipe cheaper than the Glasgow
maker, who has no transportation bill
to pay. It would seem that the Glas-
Cow, and not the American. iron indus
try needed protection. OF course the
pipe was not sold at loss. It is evil
dent, however. that the Dingley bill
makes it possible for American iron
pipe makers to charge all of 40 per
cent. more for their manufacture to
American consumers than they will
deliver their product for to any part OF
Europe. This Philadelphia firm has
demo nstrated that the Glasgow pipe
maker can not successfully compete
with it at his own home. and just why
it should need a high wall to keep
Glasgow out of America is the question.
But what is true OF iron pipe is equally
true of every other American industrial
product Our mills and factories are
underselling the countries of Europe
in their own markets, and at a good
profit, but the American consumer is
charged great deal more because it
Is necessary to s.protect American in
dustry."-K. c. Times.

woMAN's WAR AGAINST WHISKY
Suffrage Question Dragged Into the
Fight.

Atlanta, Ga, June 15.-The woman's
Temperance Christian Union convention
stirred up little breeze to-day over the
woman suffrage question.
1t was brought in a portion of the re-
port of Mrs. Dr.. FELTON, on the result of
the fight for the ant-barroom bill before
the last legislature
Mrs. FELTON, said the solons heard the
good women plead for the anti-barroom
Dill with tears in their eyes. but when it
came to voting they promptly voted
against it. There is no hope she said. for
the anti-barroom bill before such a body
as the last legislature, and if they EXPECT
TO do anything in future it must be bv
united action, which will bring all the
influence of the organization into play.
several other ladies spoke on this sub
ject, including Mrs. Mary A. Webb of sa-
vannah, who declared that the temperance
people could do nothing with the politi-
clans of Chatham county last year, but
they might be able to do something with
them AT the next session.
Mrs Sibley of Augusta reported a SINH
lar condition in Richmond county, saying
that the politicians there sometimes voted
ten and fifteen times, and until voting
became honest it was useless to work on
the politicians. She thought the remedy
was in letting the woman vote.
This led Mrs. Blanchard to remark that
IL would not do for the association to get
INTO politics, as ii had already been denied
the use OF churches for meeting purposes
on account of the woman suffrage agita-
lloh. she declared that it would never do
any way for the Southern woman to en-
brace woman suffrage, and the sentiment
provoked applause.
Mrs. Sibley of Union Point then read a
paper condemning woman suffrage as
any part OF the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union work.
MRS. McLendon of Atlanta, defended
woman suffrage, and in her talk declared
that being non-pOlitical the organizatio
was denied the use of the state caDitol
Tor meeting purposes. She recounted her
WISH TO the Governor to ask for the use
of the Senate chamber and an doing so
raped the solons of the state for run
ming blind tigers in the capitol building.
She said that whiskey bottles were hid
den IN the coal boxes and closets, and that
the marble floor of the beautiful building
was a loud advertisement for the tobacco
habit. In fact the whole place needed a
cleaning at the hands of the women of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union
Mrs. McLendon also told how the use of
the Young Mems Christian Association
hall had been refused for rental to the
convention because the trustees of that
pilanthropic institution had had a family
row and no one was willing to shoulder the
responsibility of letting out the hall even
for profit though the association is In
debt and they are calling on the public
for subscription to liquidate it.
The convention will close tomorrow.

BRIGHTER DAYS FOR DIXIE.
Senator Pritchard Thinks Tariff
Law Will Help Build Up South,

Washington, June 15.--After the passage
of a large number of private pension bills
and listening to a carefully prepared
speech on the advantages of Republican
tariff legislation by Mr.. Pritchard of North
Carolina, the Senate to-day resumed con
sheraton of the International American
bank bill.
An amendment was accepted by the COM
mittee and adopted, extending the privi-
leges of the measures to all citizens of
the United States. instead of restricting
them to those mentioned in the bill.
When the Senate adjourned considera-
ton of the bin had not been concluded.
Mr.. Pritchard in the course of his re-
marks, described the agricultural and COM
mercial trials through which the South
has passed. In this connection he said:
~"But a brighter day has daWned. Out Of

CURIOUS WELL IN HAWAII.
Flow of Artesinn Water CuriousIy
Regulated by the Clock.
From the Hawaiian Star


From the Hawaiian Star.
A most curious phenomenon has been
observed In the flow of an artesian well on
Kealia plantation. Kauai. The water has
regular variations in its flow, being lowest
at o'clock in the morning, gradually ris-
ing until ii attains its greatest flow at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, and then as
gradually falling until 8 o'clock In the
morning.
Manager George II. Fairchild Of the
plantation thus describes the peculiar phe-
nomenon.
THE top of the pipe is thirteen feet
above sea level. At eight feet there is a
flow Of about 100000 gallons in twenty
four hours BY adding five feet more of
pipe the flow stops We have had this
extra five feet Of pipe on top of the wen
for month or more, waiting for extra
pipe 20 conduct the water 10 the mill,
where il is to be used. We have noticed
a peculiar action of this column of water,
and l have been unable to find any expla-
nation of il. IL the publication of the
facts by the Star will lead to an explana-
ton, / will be very much gratified
THE column of water in this five feet
additional pipe placed to prevent the flow
at o'clock in the morning Is at it's low
est point one and one-half inches below
the top of the pipe. Then It rises until at
noon it begins TO flow over the pipe The
flow increases until 2 O'Clock, when there
Is quite flow. From that time il gradu-
ally falls, until at II o'clock at night there
Is very slight flow, and this ceases at L
O'Clock In the morning, the water gradu-
ually falling until il reaches the lowest
point at o'clock, when it begins to rise
again.
1T has been suggested that this change
in flow is due 70 the tides or to the rota-
ton Of the earth. or to the Influence of the
sun. 1t is interesting. and 1 should like
a satisfactory explanation"
Representative AIcCandless says, regard
ing this phenomenon that In his expert
ence where an artesian well is influenced
by the tides the water never rises above
sea level.
