FISHING DOWN CHIMNEYs.
A Sinl<er as Necessary on the Lines as

A Sinker as Necessary on the Lines as
on Those Dropped In the Sea.
tFish lines" said man standing
on a roof and apparently fishing
with drop line down chimney,

wait here a minute, not the only
ones on which sinkers are used"
AS he spoke he ceased alternately
raising and lowering the line: a little
as he had been doing as though
making the bait active to attract
some fish below and hauled up the
line altogether, and on the end Of it
was seen not a bait, but stubby,
cylindrical brush Of red splints, and
below that heavy sinker. What
the man was fishing for in the CHM
ney was soot-not to haul it up, but
to dislodge it so that it would fall to
where it could be taken out at the
chimney openings below.
''In the old days chimneys were
bigger" this roof fisherman contin-
ued. ''They used to 60 down inside
of chimneys to clean them, men OF
boys, oftenest boys. You've heard,
no doubt, of people being stuck in
a chimney, but now, with the burn
ing Of hard coal and with less SCOT
and less need for big chimneys and
with the economy Of space due to
the increasing value Of land, Chin

are now so small that you can't go
down 'em, and you have to clean
'em from the top.
"Of course the brush has got to
be used enough to reach the sides

and if there are projections inside

direction in it the brush, being it.
self pretty large, but not very heavy,
might lodge there and not go be-
yond that point. Hence the at
taching Of the sinker to carry the
brush down through the fue and
past distractions that otherwise
might stop it, and a pretty good big
one it must be. In fact, sinker is
as necessary in fishing down chin
ney as in fishing on the sea. New

The Pan-American Exposition al
Buffalo has not been a financial sue
cess, the shortage being reckoned at
about 100000. The cause of this
is probably the fact that the exposi-
ton was not open until May IA, and
also the unfortunate occurance OF
Sept. 6, which caused the exposition
to be closed for two days and also
caused the pubic to lose interest in
the exposition. AS a means of en-,
couraging closer commercial union
between the countries of North and
South America, the exposition was a
pronounced success.

CONGRESSMAN EDDY says that he
does not subscribe to the "Babcock
idea'of tariff revision, but nevertheless
gives out an interview in which he
analyses the tariff situation as fol
lows
" The tariff was esta blished for a par
ticular purpose, and it's object were
stated long ago about as follows:
First To build up our industries
Second-To protect industries al
ready established.
Third-To create local competition
by increasing the number of manu-
factories and thus cheaper the fin
ished product.
Fourth-To protect cur working
men, not against the foreign worker
but against conditions which exist in
nearly all countries abroad.
Now, if that is a correct statement
OF the case, and | presume it is for it
has been engrafted into the platforms
Of al tariff parties for years, it neces-
ssrily follows that any tariff thas
tends to reduce the number of nsuu-
factories and lesson domestic compe-
tition, or any tariff upon any industry
Of which the proprietors are seeking
to bring about foreign labor condi
tlons in America, is not a tariff at all
in the proper sense OF the word.
In other words, any tariff whicl,
tends to aid in the consnmmation
monopoly or which tends toward
discrimination among American
manufacturers, or is udlissd to bring |
foreign conditions into cur lsborI
circles is not in my opinion, 8 yro.
