Popularity of Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin has received one

The naming of the first town for
Franklin was regarded by him as a
great honor. This was in 177S. during
the Revolutionary war. The town of
Wrentham. Mass, was divided, one
part of it taking the name of the cele-

recognition of the honor, Franklin pre-

The Manila Pig,

One of the curious sights to an Amer
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters is the ever present pig; but, as
pigs are not allowed at large they
have an ingenious method of tying the
pigs by the ears. They cut a small
hole through the pigs ear, one-half to
an inch in diameter. Through this
hole they insert rope, with a large
knot on one end. This rope securely
confines the pigs liberties about the
premises. The same sights are seen
often on the native boats and even on
the swell steam launches plying on
Manila bay. Transporting pigs through
the streets of Manila always attracts
q crowd, although the sight is COM
mon. The legs of the pig are tied to-
gether securely, and the pig is then
suspended on a long pole resting on
the shoulders of two native carriers
The pig, with his legs up and head
down, makes about as much noise
while in transit as the pig under a
gate in Missouri and never fails to hold
the crOwd.-Manila Freedom.

Windfa11 to Railroad Labor.

For the fiscal year ended June 80,
1899, gross railroad receipts were larger
by 1886. 149, ,623 than for the year ended
June 30, 1895. Such increase mostly rep
resents larger dividends lin the form of
increased wages) to labor. Similarly
there was a gain over 1895 of SOS, ,S5S,-
45S in net earnings. This has gone part
ly into the strengthening of cash ac-
counts, but the greater part of it into
increased dividends to stockholders. 1t
must not be forgotten in this connection
that railroad securities are owned very
largely by people of all classes. They
are recommended to widows for safe in
vestment. They form the basis, next to
government bonds, for the Investments Of
insurance companies, and for the trust
funds of charitable and phianthropic in
stitutions.
In 1893 there was paid in compensat ton
to employees OF railroads the total sum Of
$495 ,61O, as against $445, sos, ,26l in
1895, a gain of $40, ,547 .357. When in ad-
dition we consider the increased wages

The number OF new miles Of road built
during the year ended June 80, 1899, was

the history of the country have they
shown such vast aggregate of business,
such an immense increase as during the
years Of the Mckinley administration
The following figures are from Brad
streets and are accepted as official. The
comparison is made with the year 1894

try was in full sway.

PROSPERITY FOR ZINC MINERS.
Four Years of Mckinley and Protec-
ton HIVE Enriched Missouri.

Four Years of Mckinley and Protec-
tion Have Enriched Missouri.
Mckinley prosperity and the protective
tariff on zine and lead ores have, in four
years, added millions of wealth to Mis-
souri, and Kansas. They have made a
comparatively little strip of territory in
southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas
the greatest zinc mining section in the
world, producing seven-eighths of the
American zinc ore and about one-fourth
Of the entire worlds supply.
FVr years this district, which centers
about Joplin, Mo-, and Galena, Kan,
consisted of several little mining camps
struggling along and yielding very little
pro1uct. Mining was done in a crude
arI primitive way, and lack Of capital to
/perate in manner befitting a country
SO bountifully blessed by nature was a
check to- development and a barrier to
progress.
Three years ago a change began. The
factories of the East. which had been
alarmed over the Wilson bill and shut
down their plants entirely or in part, had
their confidence restored and resumed
operations to their full capacity. This
created a demand for more zinc, which is
used extensively in many industries. New
uses for zinc for various purposes were
constantly being found, and additional de-
mands for zinc ore were thereby created.
AS a consequence, the attention Of
Eastern and foreign capital became at
tracted to Americas great undeveloped
zinc fields, whose only need was financial
aid. Money, which had been tied up by
cautious capitalists, sought investment.
Wonderful were the changes wrought.
Mines, mining leases and mineral lands
doubled and quadrupled in value, crude
and antiquated methods of mining gave
way to modern methods. The old hand
windlass and horse holster were supplant-
ed by modern machinery. Old abandoned
mines which had been left with their TIM
bers to rot and tools to rust were opened
up again and new mining camps sprang
up all over the district. An era of pros
perlty mad dawned and the increased de-
mand for zinc had advanced the price to
a point undreamed Of four years before.
The following table is concise history:

ZINC IN MISSOURI.
Quantity Average price

A few of the above figures are particu-
larly instructive. In 1892, at the close Of
the Harrison administration, the Joplin
zinc field produced 131, ,4SS tons, the av-
erage price of which at the mine was
$21.76 per ton and the total value of
which was S2,964, ,475. In 1894, under
the Wilson bill depression, the produc-
tion Of this same field had fallen to SO, 100
tons, with an average price at the mine
of SIS per ton, total value of 81 ,337 $40.
In 1893 the duickehinE influence of Nc
Kinkey prosperity was fairly Under way,
the production rose to 130,8GS tons, with
an average price at the mine OF s20.06
per ton and total value OF s2,827 1871,
Last year, 1900, the full tide Of prosper.
ity promised by the Republican party
was flowing in on the Joplin and Kansas
district and the production reached high
water mark in 1S1, ,430 tons, with an av-
erage value at the mines Of $32.93 per
ton and total value Of 1914, 1924, or
over four times as much as it was in
1894. The year 1900 figures, when all in,
will show a still further increase. Yet
it is probable that the Missouri section
Of this prosperous region will utterly ig-
more this wonderful object lesson and

money. Vote to again close up the fac
