BATTLES In HI AIR.
Flying Machine Said TO Have Been
Bought for the British Army.

War in new and hOrrid forms pro-
jccis its ugly head in almostd daily nov
elites. The old days when armies
met in hand grips have been scien-
tiieally narrowed to smaller numbers
and increased mechanism, lind nov
the welfare Of the future promises to
be a trial Of mechanical skill with d
further limitation in number of men.
Al sea the submarine threatens to
make the battleship obsolete, and the
airship looms up for military purposes
as n destroyer Of armies.
Aerial destruction has been a war
office scheme for years past, from the
primitive ~kitc-nying experiments
down TO Maj. Baden owell's tests,
and the dynamite dropping Of. the

has therefore ordered the construc.

at has frequently been said that

a thoughtful citizen, "and | guess the
statement is true, as a general propo-

that another psychological process

the case of the negro until it replaces
Imagination and really performs all
the functions Of this mental process
in some respects. OF course the more
delicate lines Of the faculty have been
lost in the mergcnce and mixture OF
two separate and distinct mental
processes. and the loss in one case has

eERMANY's TARIFF EXPERIMENT.

A high German official said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press
in Berlin that foreign newspapers
need not get excited over the new tar
iff,'' the text of which has just been
published. "slnce nothing has been de-
cided; the bill is only a basis for dis
cussion." 1t has been eminently sue
cessful in provoking discussion at any
rate. In this country the press COM
ment has been temperate enough-the
verdict being that the tariff seems dis
advantageous to the interests of indus
trial Germany. But in Russia and Aus
tria, against which the new tariff
operates more severely than against the
United States, strong resentment is
shown by all newspapers. 1t will be
remembered that a few weeks ago
there was talk of great European
combination against the United States.
The first aggressive movement made
by Germany hits her neighbors harder
than it does America and furnishes an
instructive commentary on the .futility
of the suggestion of a European anti
American Zollverein.-Buffalo Com

WAGES AND LIVING.

Foreign Work People Cannot Live More
Cheaply Than Americans.
The old stock argument of the free
traders used to be when, in spite of
their suuirming, they were brought
face to face with the fact that wages
were higher in this country than
abroad. that. although wages were
higher. the cost of living was higher.
too, and that, therefore, workmen in
this country were at no advantage. and
that free trade, while it would lower
wages. would at the same time lower
the cost of living. This argument has
fallen somewhat into '.innocuous
deseutude" of late, yet occasionally it
stalks abroad, like Banquo's ghost. 1t
is interesting, therefore, to note that
Mr. Jacob Weidmann, a prominent silk
dyer of Paterson, N j., states that
while the wages of the workmen en-
71oyed In his mill at Paterson are from
two to four times as large as the wages
paid to similar labor in Switzerland
which is Mr.. Weidmann's native coun-
try. the cost of living Is less. In Swift

weak; in this country the poorest dyers
get 50 per week. The best dyers in
Switzerland are paid from SIS to So per
week, while in this country the best
dyers earn from SIS to $50 per week.
These are actual figures, given by q
man who knows There is no guess
woi k about them, ither is there any
guesswork about Mr.. Weidmanns
statement concerning the comparative
cost of living, for, as he states, some
of the men employed in his mills who
have come to this country from
abroad have kept records, and have
found that they can live more cheaply
in this country. When free trade is
forced to meet facts it always gets the
worst of things.

A QUESTION or SUGAR"

The consumption of sugar last year
in the United States averaged about
81 pounds for each inhabitant, which
at 51z cents pound would cost $3.42
apiece, or $16.1O for family of five
persons. If the duty were removed and
the Sugar Trust allowed the people to
get the benefit thereof the saving would
be $1.14 for each person, or $50 for a
family of five, for a whole year. There
is neither certainty nor probability that
the saving would be as great as that,
but there is almost a certainty that
whatever reduction should be allowed
would be made for the purpose Of
breaking down the domestic beet su-
gar industry, which is now the source
o. wages and income to 1000 900 per-
sons.
Would the saving secured by remov-
ing the duty on raw sugar pay for en-
dangering the life of so important an
American industry and one which in a
few years promises to supply all the
sugar needed and at lower prices than
ever before known? What Intelligent
man would consent to be bribed with
$50 to bring about possible disaster
to so useful and beneficial business?

Mischief for Idle Hands.

When men or women have plenty of
serious work to do they don't potter
with trifies. 1t is the idle who make
mountains of molehills. If the Demo-
cratic party had any great or true aim
for the real good of the country it
would not bother itself and harass the
voters over such petty and utterly
useless issue as the repeal of duties
which, it claims, are outgrown and
therefore imperative. Its patron saint
for such enterprises is Don Quixote.
The party can only make itself re-
spectacle by tackling the main ques-
ton and fighting protection squarely
on its merits. In doing so it may ex-
pose its blindness to thousand obvi-
Gus facts and its obtuseness to sound
reason, but it does thereby escape con-
tempt.
