Tariff reform was never more ur-
gently needed than now, when the pro-
duction of the country so far exceeds
its power of consumption that foreign
markets are a prime condition Of its
continued prosperity" This is the Ian
guage of the Ohio Democratic plat
form, and it is calculated to make one
smile. We have Just closed the books
of a fiscal year. and they show that
we have sold more of our commodities
in foreign markets than in any other
year in our whole national existence,
Then, where is the suggestion based
upon wisdom. that we should reform
the tariff in order to increase our for
eign trade? 1t is more satisfactory
than it ever has been; therefore. what
is wrong?-Knoxville (Tenn.) Tribune.

TALLEST *
~ CHIMNEY

Experience has shown that the
height of factory chimneys Is not alone
dependent on how much smoke or
other special poisonous gases have
to be removed by it. On the contrary
1t is essential that a chimney, especial
~ when II has to remove poisonous
and other detritus products of com
buston containing dangerous and UNI
healthy poison, not alone for human
beings but for plants as WELL is to be
constructed TO such height that the
escaping gases produce no harm, es-
pecially at chemical factories and gas
, works, where, in most cases, the poi
sonous and dangerous products of
combustion escape before they enter
the fue, thus demanding frequently
| and costly construction, which is Of
ten found impossible to carry out.
After the experience of today, an out
let height of about 300 feet above the
level is considered sufficient to pre-
vent harmful action to plant life, as
wellas the interference with the health
of people living in the vicinity of the
chimney. Should this territory be sur
rounded with wooded heights, it is
well to increase in the same ratio the
height of the chimney. In rolling or
hilly country the outlet of the CHM
, ney must be placed at least 300 feet
above the highest point of the sur
rounding hills; chimney in the val
ley would, in consequence of this great
height, cost so much that it is cheaper
to build the flue of the chimney on this
highest point, and erect the chimney
proper on the already existing higher
plane supplied by nature. On account
of this aforesaid condition the Royal
Saxon Smelling works at Halsbrucke,
in Freiberg, were compelled to build
high chimney, which can safely be con-
sidered to be the highest and most
prominent chimney of this century.
This chimney has height above the
surrounding plane of 459 feet The
height of the chimney itself is 429 feet
6 inches, and at the square base it is
20 feet inches, and, therefore, at the
time of its completion, in 1889, was the
highest chimney in the world. The top
internal diameter is over feet. This
enormous height did not suffice to sup
ply sufficient security for the surround
ing neighborhood against the outgo-
ing gases. and, therefore, this chimney
was erected upon one of the adjoining
highest hills, which is 1877 feet higher
than the smelling works, situated in
the valley. In consequence of this po-
sition the chimney obtains an addi-
tional height, an increased efficiency
equivalent to height of over 656 feet.
AS this chimney could not be placed
next to the factory but was built, as
before mentioned, upon the highest
hill, fiue of over 1,640 feet was con-
structed, which runs part of the dis
lance over bridge, especially built to
hold the construction over the River
Nude, which separates the factory

HOW 1T WOULD WORK.

The Ohio Democrats have declared
for tariff reform and for placing all
trust products on the free list. Right
on the heels of this declaration comes
sweeping reduction by the American
wooden trust of prices of wooden cloths,
and the large number of wooden man
ufacturers outside the trust are con-
siderably agitated at this procedure.
1t thus appears that trust may reduce
prices as well as advance prices. But
it still remains a trust for all that,
and. according to the Babcock plan
and the Ohio Democratic plan and the
plan of the tariff revisionaries gener-
ally, the tariff must be repealed on all
imports competing with domestic trust
products. An application of this won
derful theory in the case of the Wooden
trust would doubtless work some hard
ship on that corporation, for the tariff
on wool would still stand, as nobody
claims that wool growing is monopo-
lized by trust, and the cloth makers
of England who use low priced free
wool would take immediate possession
of the big American market.
Such would be the result unless, as
might easily happen, the domestic
Wooden trust, finding that the repeal
of the tariff had swept every non-trust
wooden mill out Of existence, and find
ing the domestic field thus cleared OF
all troublesome competition, should do
as the salt companies of the United
States and Europe are doing-form an
international trust that would control
production, prices and wages. or
course, we should see half million
people now working in nontrust wooden
mills thrown out of employment and
half a billion of capital invested in
buildings and machinery rendered val
ueless. But the domestic free trader
and trust smasher wouldn't let that
worry him. What he wants is to Kill
the tariff, no matter who or what else
is killed.

WILL NOT SUCCEED.

The free trade agitators who are
anxious to precipitate tariff contest
at the next session of congress are
trying to make 1t appear that the wool
manufacturers will urge a reduction in
the tariff on wool, regardless of the ef-
feet OF such action upon the wool
growers of this country.
That. however. is denied by an east
ern commercial newspaper. which
claims to know the sentiment OF the
wool manufacturers. II says that the
attitude Of the manufacturers toward
the wool growers is the same today
that II has been during the past sew
enty-five years. While 1t is true that
the tariff on wool has operated against
the manufacturers OF woolens. because
II has shut them out Of the worlds
market to a certain extent and de-
prived them OF the chance to make
greater profits by purchasing cheaper
raw materials. yet the manufacturers
have always been willing that the
sheep industry should be protected. be-
cause they know that without the com
petition afforded by American wool
they would be at the mercy Of the for
eign wool growers and would have TO

ITS OUTLET is MORE

from the hill upon which the chimney
is built, thereby reducing to rational
amount the cost of the construction
the outlet of the said chimney being
300 feet above the adjoining plane
Notwithstanding this great saving by
the construction of the fiue and utillZ-
ing nature for the additional height,
the chimney alone cost over thirty-one
thousand dollars; the construction OF
the / $40 feet of flue $4,000, hence the
total cost Is about fifty-six thousand
dollars, including excavations, founda-
tions and the necessary iron rings; the
two latter items cost S2,620 But even
this tremendous cost has been goou
investment so far, as the company mas
not been compelled to pay any dam
ages to the surrounding property hold
ers since the erection of this big CHM
ney; whereas before divers claims had
to be satisfied to the extent OF 40 per
cent, according to governmental de-
cisions. The chimney was erected ac-
cording to the design of Master Me-
chanic o. Huppner, in Freiburg, In
Saxony, by the largest and most prom
inent firm of German chimney build
ers, H. R. Heinecke, and was begun
upon Sept. 25, 1888, and completed on
Oct. 2S, 1889. The system employed
was the perforated radial brick, in the
same method as was pursued in the
erection of the two chimneys at the
works of Adam Weber Sons, at Weber,
N. j., on the Raritan river, which sys-
TEN this firm Is now introducing In
America. Judging by results and the
general demands in this line it will not
be long before America will surpass
this big construction with still taller
chimney. The following data will be
of interest, showing the immensely OF
this construction: The base OF the
chimney lies 80 feet under the level,
and is 10 feet inches square, cover
ing an area of 1850 square feet. The
following quantity of material was
used, viz: Thirteen thousand eight
hundred and eighty-three cubic feet Tor
foundation work; 1875 cubic feet for
pedestal, 1865 cubic feet for the col
umn, giving a total of 95,2S5 cubic feet
of mason work The mason work had
a special weight of 124.S pounds per
cubic foot; the entire lot then to De
carried was 5,3Os% gross tons, and the
weight to be sustained by the founda-
lions. at dead calm, was 3.45 tons per
square foot. In consideration OF the
normal wind pressure of 1852 pounds
per square foot, which is officially ac-
copied in Germany as statical calm
for chimneys, the weight to be sus-
tanned by the foundations is Increased
to Az tons per square foot. There IS
no doubt that this chimney with all its
details and peculiarties, is one of the
greatest works ever erected in this
particular line, and is accepted to-day
By the official organs of Germany as

Cab Service in
..Germany..

have spent most of the summer in
Germany, says a returned American,
and am convinced that the Germans
perhaps more than any other peple
have solved the problem of living.
Without going into the details of good
cooking, open air life, good hotels,
cleanliness, cheapness and general
comfort, there is one thing about Ger
man cities that appeals to me. The
especial object Of resentment and OBJ
lection that ! cherish in this country
is the American cabman and his ex-
orbitant prices. In London and Paris
the tariff for the employment OF CABS
is more or less clearly defined, but
still disputes may arise. In Germany,
however, they have solved the prob
lem absolutely. They have attached
to every cab, carriage or public We
hicle a sort of automatic arrangement
on the box directly behind the driver,
and in plain sight of the passenger. 1t
explains upon its face that it registers
the tariff for the hire Of the vehicle.
When you get in the wagon the driver
adjusts this register. II any baggage
is carried the face of the register pro-
claims how much he is allowed for
every piece of luggage, and he rings
it I'D before he starts. Then the tax
imeter is attached to the wheels of the
wagon in some way, so that every rev.
olution of the wheel is registered. In
stead of registering the distance gone,
or the number Of the revolutions of the
wheel, the taximeter registers the
charge for the distance gone. 1t
changes in 10 pfennig jumps. Ten
pfennigs in our money is about 21a
cents. The result is that person is
charged about 21a cents for every
eighth of a mile. The machines are
absolute and accurate. and the work
ings are so open that even the most
obtuse can realize the fairness OF 1t.
This is spoken of merely as a hint to
The municipal authorities of the va
rious American cities in control of
hack rates The establishment of a
taximeter system of this kind would
be of inestimable value to the people
who patronize them. and in the end
would be OF great value to the hack
men themselves. as. assured Of honest
treatment. thousands Of people would
use cabs who now refrain owing to the
wild license for charging that the
American hackman enjoys.

Charles Bell, of Albion, Mich, be-
came so confirmed a believer in the
efficacy of faith that he believed him
self able to take poison without any
ill-effects. So he took "a grains OF
morphine the other day. The next
morning he appeared sick, but
triumphant, and told of his feat. He
said he had vomited up the morphine
and felt no serious i'll effects from TAX
ing it. The success Of this test prob
ably encouraged him to go further
with his experiments, for he bought a
revolver and declared his intention Of
proving that he could shoot himself
without fatal results. He then went to
the front yard of his house, and, plac-
ing the revolver to his temple, fired.
Death was instantaneous.
