The farmers of the Northwest are
kicking again, but it is a different kind
of a kick from that of three years ago.
In those days of 90. when lamenta-
tons for the crime of 70 filled the air
of the Northwest, the burden of COM
plant was scarcity of work, scarcity of
dollars and the o large purchasing
capacity of the dollar when acquired
because of the cheapness of everything.
This year the times are out of joint for
the farmers because of the scarcity of
men to work in the harvest fields.
Wages are offered ranging from $3.50
a day n board for common harvest
hands 10 Sc a day for t%hreshing ma
chine engineers, n even at these
figures it is well nigh impossible to
get men enough to do the work. Every
body able to work seems to be having
something else to do that is more con-
genial or more profitable than harvest
field work. II Brother Bryan would
make a tour of the Northwest at this
tine he could expound l6 to lie Jobs
looking for every idle man, and his ex-

MYSTERY OF JOHANN ORTIZ.
His Mother Died believing Her Son to
He Alive.

He Alive.
The saddest episode is that known
as the mystery of Johann Ortiz, one of
the most remarkable romances in the
dynastic history of Europe in this CEN
tury. says the Strand Magazine. The
Archduke John Salvador of Tuscany.
a nephew of the Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. had fallen in love with an ac-
tress and singer, Ludmilla Hubel, whom
he married in spite of all family p
sition. renouncing at the same time all
his rights, privileges and rank and
assuming the name of Orth, after one
OF his castles. The romantic marriage
was celebrated secretly. but in a per-
fectly legal manner, by the registrar
OF Islington, and was witnessed by the
consul-general Of Austria in London.
Johann Ortiz next bought in 1891 a fine
ship in Liverpool. which he renamed
Santa Margarita; and so anxious was
he to guard against the vessel being
recognized that he stipulated thai all
drawings and photographs Of 1t should
be handed over to him, and these he
burned with his own hands. More
over. he caused all portraits and mega
tives of himself and his wife to be
bought up at any price, and these were
likewise destroyed. We are giving
here only absolute facts. Shortly aft
erward the ex-archduke and his wife
set sail for South America, andthe yes
sci was duly reported to have arrived
at Montevideo and departed for a des-
tination unknown. But from that mo-
ment every trace was lost of the ship
and all on board, no news as to her
tate having ever been heard, although
many a search has been made along the
coast by order of the emperor of Aus
tria and his government. Adventur-
ers and treasure-seekers have been at
work, as 1t was well known that Jo-
ham Ortiz had on board over a quar-
ter of a million pounds in specie; 1t Is
believed that he intended to have
bought an estate in Chile with the
money. and to have settled there, but
that the vessel %foundered off Cape
Horn during a terrific storm. which
ragged off the coast shortly after the
ship had left. From time to time since
then the most startling rumors have
been set afioat about the missing prince
having turned up. one being that he
had been one of the leaders of the Chill
ian rebellion. having divided his treas
ure among his crew. burned his ship,
landed on a lonely coast, etc. His own
mother, who died only a few months
ago, believed her son alive to her very
last hour, and expected his return. The
Swiss government is of a very different
opinion. and assumed the death of the
archduke. and paid over to Frau Orth's
next of kin a large amount of money.
which Johann Orth deposited, as a set
tlement for his wife, with the Swiss
authorities before his departure, and
there is little doubt that the Santa
Margarita lies at the bottom of he
sea, and that all on board persisted.

In a chapter of "reminiscences, of Won
Bunsen and his friends. in the October
Century, the Hon. John Bigelow tells
this a%necdote of Humboldt:
One day he was dining with Mendels-
sOhn, the banker. and, an unusual
thing for him. was very silent. His
host, remarking it, observed to Hum
boldt that he vas sure he must be i'll.
NO" said Humboldt, but | am in
great trouble. Only ten minutes before
leaving my apartments TO come here |
received from my landlord n note in
forming me that he has sold the house
in which / reside and that l must
move. The very thought drives me to
despair. | really cannot bear to move
again"
Mendelssohn gradually led Humboldt
into conversation, during which he
found time to write n note and receive
an answer to II. He then tool Hum
boldt aside, and said: BY this note l
learn that l am now the owner of the
Gus in which You reside. The condi-
ton, however, upon which | have be-
come its p~ossessor is that you continue
to occupy your apartments in 1t as long
as you live"

The effects of a protective tariff are
more than in P%ittsburg. Consequently

ployed in these, embracing all classes,

range of wages, Sl.75 to 81 per day;
number Of idle men. none, except from
sickness; number of mills and facto-

all the freight cars in service; gross

journal that has lost no opportunity

Dineley tariff bill, they form pretty
good evidence that there is more com

In Lapland the crime which Is pun
ished most severely next to murder is
the marrying of a girl against the ex-
press wishes of her parents. When a
sutton makes his appearance he says
nothing to the girl, nor does she often
know who he is. but her parents inform
her that her hand has been applied for.
Then on a day appointed, the girl, her
parents and friends, meet together and
sit at meat, with the sutton and his
intended opposite to one another. SO
that they can view each others faces
and converse freely. When the feast
is over the company repair to an open
space, where "the race for a wife" is
to be run. The usual distance is about
n quarter of a mile. and the girl is

III Mr.. Havemeyer had called the
protective tariff the mother OF indus
try instead of the mother of trusts"
he would have been stating a truth in
stead OF putting forth a lie. The num-
Der of factories which have been re-
opened after years oil idleness, the
lumber of plants which have been ex-
tended. the number of mills which
have beer enlarged in the brief time
during which the Dingley law has been
u. operation are beyond computation.
The number of new mills opened, of
new business enterprises started and
of new industries established can only
be estimated. The full number will
never be accurately counted. And the
showing OF this short time has been
but a brilliant repetition of the his
tory of the two short years during
which the Mckinley law was in full
force and effect.
10 go further back thar that, prac-
tically every industry in the country
owes its existence to the policy of pro-
lection. When the colonies separated
from Great Britain there was not a
single industry of any consequence on
this SIDE OF the ocean, thanks to the
policy pursued by the ruling country.
There never would have been any in
dustries established IL early American
statesmen had been OF the stripe of
Bryan. or Cleveland, or other free
traders. American enterprise would
have had no show at all against the
well-established and powerful indus
tries Of England. But through the
adoption of the policy of a protective
tariff American Industries were estab-
lished; through that same policy they
have been developed to their present
unrivaled proportions; and through it
American industries are today being
extended and increased, and the United
States is fast increasing the lead which
1t already has in commercial affairs
over all the other nations of the world.

The family of trusts doubtless needs
regulation, Provision has already
been made to control pools and com
binations in restriction OF trade and
the like. but the problem still to be
solved is: What interference can the
government interpose against large
capitalizations-against the outright
purchase of many small concerns fo-
the purpose of concentrating and sim
plifying management, cheapening pro-
auction and charging trade? Mean
while the parentage of trusts is still IN
doubt. even though the protective tar
if has been cleared of responsibility
for the progeny, but there is reason
to believe that trusts are simply the
outgrowth of business enterprise

pa,vn.hops and Banks.

The original pawnshop is difficult to
locate. From earliest times and with
all peoples the system of pledging effects
as security for advances in money has
existed in some form. In this early
period all those who accepted pledges
as security for loans were not pawn
brokers in the sense that we today use
the term.
Of the antiquity of pawnbroking we
are assured, but are without clew as
to what may have been its process of
metamorphosis from the time of the
Jewish law to that of the Roman. It's
analogy to banking, the fact that the
pawnbrokers later became bankers,
would lead to the conclusion that pri-
vatc pawnbrokers existed long before
the state took cognizance Of the bust
ness. II seems probable that the con-
slant taking of articles in pledge, which
of necessity demanded their safe keeping
to secure the repayment of the loan.
suggested the like deposit of money and
valuables. In this case the progenitor
of the present banking system was orig
inally i pawnshop instead Of bank,
which later took up the pawn business.
