After THE OASIS had gone Co press last week the Phoenix papers at hand that day conveyed very amusing story of Councilman Finley's vote upon tinal passage of the Santa Cruz county bill. In all stages of enact- ment Mr. Finley opposed the bill most strenuously Finding he was beaten, Before the ballot was an nounced, he changed his vote from no to aye, to put himself in a position to make a motion for reconsideration Then when the result of the roll call was declared he gave notice of iuten- tion to make such a motion. But Mr. Hunt. of Gila. one of the most earnest friends Of the measure. moved an immediate reconsideration. which was voted down. That clinched the bill aud left hanging in the air Mr, Finley's notice of motion to recon .sders
 Ca the following day Mr Finley endcavored to have the record cor rected by changing his vote from aye .sosno. But the council wouldn't per init the change, and Pima ccunty's councilman is recorded as having ,ySted.to create Santa'CFuz cotinty " The amusing news was received in

Two Happy Thoughts.

From far-away Ceylon comes a
funny little story. A tea planter who
had a glass eye was DESTROYS of going
away for a days shooting with a
friend, but he knew that as soon as the
natives who were at work ON the plan
tatiop heard that he was going they
would not do a stroke of work. How
was he to get off? That was the ques-
ton. After much thought an idea
struck him. Going UP to the men, he
addressed them thus: although 1 my
self will be absent, yet 1 shall leave
nj of my eyes to see that you do your
work" And, much to the surprise
and bewilderment of the natives, he
took out the glass eye and placed it
on the stump of a tree and left. For
some time the men worked Industrious
ly, but at last one Of them, Selling his
tin in which he carried his food, ap-
preached the tree and gently placed it
over the eye. This done, they all lay
down and slept sweetly until sunset

Archbishop Ireland. who but a short
time since returned from a prolonged
trip abroad. has said a few most sig
niicant words in respect to the con-
trast between conditions abroad and
those in this country. His statement
Is that:
THE contrast between the masses In
this country and the masses in the old
world in and out OF the church Is more
remarkable than ever. The American
poor are happier and a hundred per
cent more intelligent. Their surround
ings are better, their chances are bet
ter. Where there is one case OF misery
here there are hundreds abroad, and by
abroad | mean England as well as the
continent"
The nj thing which more than all
else is responsible for the advantage
which Americans have over b citi-
zens OF other countries is the protec-
tive tariff. That it is which keeps
wages in this country high; that 1t is
which makes employment sure for the
laborers of this country! that 1t is
which prevents the foreign
turers who employ the pauper laborers
OF other countries from sending their
products to the United States to enter
into free and unrestricted competition
with the products of the well-paid Ia
Dor of this country. Archbishop Ire
land is a man whose word can be relied
upon, and the contrast which he draws
between the situation in this country
and that abroad is worthy of most
careful attention.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1899-10-13
Tin Plate Prices.

Every one knows that tin plate has
advanced considerably in price within
the present year The Democratic the
orists claim that the advance in the
United States is due incidentally to the
tin plate trust and primarily to the
tariff, it being their theory that a
protective tariff is a promoter of
trusts.
Now let US look at the prices which
the Welsh tin plate manufacturers re-
ceive. They now obtain sl.45 a box
more than they did in January last.
This is a greater advance than has
been made in the United States.
We respectfully ask our Democratic
friends to explain this. If the protec-
tive tariff and the trust caused the ad-
vance in the prices of tin plate in the
United States, what caused a greater
advance III price in Wales, where there
is no tariff at all? We pause for reply.

VII.

1t was two days later-a soaking
wet afternoon. Ever since early morn
ing the rain had been descending in a
steady persistent downpour, beating
upon the scOrched grass, dashing to
pieces the rows of stately calceolarias
and geraniums, and converting every
path and flight of steps into as many
miniature streams aud turbulent cas-
cades of seething waters.
Major Brown, driven almost to des-
pair by the depressing prospects of
the day, wandered aimlessly from
billiard room to smoking room, from
smoking room to library, and at last
sat down before one of the writing
tables and hastily dashed off one or
two u~nimportant letters. His CORE
spondence completed, he directed and
sealed the envelopes, and was leisure
ly affiXing the stamps, when his at
tention became suddenly arrested by
something On the sheet of plotting pa
per before him.
Of a number of indescribable hierogly-
phlcS and the impression of a line Of
more boldly written characters, which
had evidently been hastily blotted, the
surface Of the pink sheet was perfect
~ blank. Putting up his eye glass,
he scanned them for at least a couple
of minutes in absolute silence, and
then, giving a cautious glance round
the room, as though a sudden thought
had struck him, he advanced, blotting
book in hand, towards a Enthusiastically
framed mirror which stood above the
marble mantel. This further scrutiny
was, to all appearance, even more sue
c~essful, for, as Major Brown held up
the strangely interesting sheet close
to the glass, a smile of satisfaction
Immediately lit up his face.

BuYinp Better Goods.

Merchants all over the country are
reporting through the medium of
newspaper correspondents that not
only are their customers buying more
goods but also that they are buying
better goods. A st. Paul, Mimi,
merchant said, for instance: Women
who last year were buying 25-cent
stuffs for shirt waists and dresses are
now getting dollar materials" 1t is
the buying of higher priced goods
which in part sweIls the volume Of
TRACE for 1899 beyond that of 1898. 1t
is the better quality of goods which is
represented by these higher prices
which in large measure marks the ad-
vantage which the people of the coun-
try will have in 1899 beyond that
which they had in 1898.
Last year the prosperity which came
in with protection was Of sufficiently
great proportion to give to all the peO-
pie of the country who were willing to
work all the necessities of life, and in
many cases to settle up the debts con-
tracted in tariff reform times and to
make them square with the world.
The additional year of prosperity, of
increasing prosperity, since then, has
meant such an increase of money thai
the luXuries of life, in quality as well
as in quantity and variety, have been
brought within reach.
