Europe puts up the bars it will be
chiefly against farm produce; in other
words, against the West.

of hiring eastern capital to put ships

One subjetc that is expected to
come before congress this winter pre-
sents the unusual phase OF a trust
asking for lower duties on the article
in which It deals. This is the effort
OF the sugar trust to secure a reduc-
tlon of the duties on sugar coming
from Cuba. over this question bit

meyer people claim that all the re
duction Of the duties which congress
may see fit TO grant viii go into the
pockets Of the consumers.
Mr.. Oxnard, representing the beet
sugar people. denies the truth Of this
claim. He declares that all the duty
taken of viii 80 into the pockets Of
the sugar trust and nowhere else.
'If the trust is sincere in its desire
to benefit the American consumer by
giving cheap sugar" says Mr. Oxnard.

These are some of the phases cur
rent discussion of the economic and
political questions Is assuming at the

that many speeches will be made
along these lines. 1t is certain that

tariff discussion, and reciprocity dis

Already the Democrats are pricking
up their ears. They believe the Re
publican party is in control of the
high tariffites and that there will be
no reductions or reforms. They fur
ther believe that this will give them
chance to come TO the front as the
champions of tariff reform. Senator
Vest has pointed out a way in which,
according to his view the Democratic
party may find that which it has so
long sought. a winning issue.
Republicans don't want tariff re
vision, and they don't want reciprocity
that touches a single protected item
on the tariff schedule. doa't know
a Republican leader who dares to
stand behind a specific scheme of
tariff reduction designed to enlarge
the foreign commerce of the United
States. My belief is that all of the
treaties will be rejected and that the
Republicans in the senate will stand
firm against any change in the tariff.
All this talk abo't reciprocity sifts
down to nothing
The tariff is to stand as it is for
the present. How long 1t is to stand
| do not know, but there is an impor-
tant Democratic opportunity in the
present attitude of the Republican
party toward hte tariff and reciproci-
ty, A strong and distinct issue for
the next presidential campaign grows
out of this Republican attitude.
People who want tariff changes
need not look to the Republican party
for them. People who want recip-
rocity need not look TO the Republican
party for It. There is not a sign can
discern of intention on the part of the
Republicans to amend the tariff. If
anybody wants that sort of thing he
must look to the Democratic party"

weeks time had received from them
$45,S5S.SO, a most substantial fund for
q beginning. On the strength of the
nucleus thus established, on March 81.
1899, Congress made an appropriation
of $4,000 to the Lafayette monument
fund, the amount being issued In the
form of a specially designed coin
known as the Lafayette dollar
The design adopted for the Lafayette
nonument involves two principal COM
ponents, namely, the equestrian statue
and the pedestal wherein 1t stands. The
FORMER will be one of the largest figures
of the kind In the world, and without
exception the richest The group will
represent Lafayette In full uniform
mounted On noble war steed and
raising his sword, reversed, to the
heavens. 1t is proposed to use an alloy
of gold and silver, instead of tin and
spelter, In the bronze casting to refine
and beautify it, and TO cast the entire
figure by the lost wax process-an elab-
crate and expensive, though eminently
artistic method. The pedestal will be-
of colored marble, with rich bronze ar
chitectural ornaments, elaborate exedra
and extensive artistic surroundings.
One of the original ideas of the
Lafayette memorial project was that
the monument might be completed and
ready for dedication on July 4, United
States day at the Paris Exposition,
and for some time the work was car
ried on with this end in view. It soon
became evident, however, that to COM
plete the undertaking within so limited
ali interval would be an utter impossi-
bility. 1t was, therefore, decided to
prepare staff reproduction Of the de-
signs, which answered the purpose Of
dedication and will stand on the site
of the permanent monument through.

Major Ross report says: I'VE have

cies breed in few stagnant puddles.
For many scientific reasons we have
come to the conclusion that the truly,
malarial fever is caused solely by thu

anopheles species. We estimate, then,
that most of the malarial fever can be
got rid Of at almost no cost, except OF
Il little energy"
In the course of his investigation he
has studied the mosquito most thor
oughly. His treatment of the insect is
quite remarkable. The most striking
machine which he uses to facilitate his
research Is guillotine, which cuts the
insect into sixty distinct and separate
sections so small that every minute de-
tail can be studied under the micro
scope.
In order to do this the body of the
Insect Is hardened by successive treat
ments with various kinds OF acids and
spirits. 1t Is then plunged in melted
wax. When this wax cools 1t sets hard
around him and enables the keen blade
of the guillotine to cut him into the
most minute shavings. each Of which
can be mounted and then examined
under the microscope.

VELOCITY OF FALLING.
In a Vacuum All Fall Alike Not So
in the Atmosphere.


in the Atmosphere.
The old-time query as to which Of
the two, pound of lead or pound of
feathers, dropped from the same height
at the same time, would first reach the
ground, seems ever new. Some one
propounded it to the wise man of the
Scientific American last week, using
instead of lead and feathers an ounce
and tone of iron. And this Is how
the wise man responded:
This matter was put to the test of
experiment by Calico at the Leaning
Tower of Pisa in the seventeenth CEN
fury, with two balls of lead, weighing
one and ten pounds respectively. The
followers of Aristotle had taught for
centuries that the balls would fall in
proportion TO their weights, the heay-
Ter one falling the faster. Calico point
ed out the fact that the lighter one
would reach the ground first because
the air would resist the fall of the
larger one more than it would that of
the smaller. He had previously dem
onstrated the law of falling bodies that
the velocity under the action of gray
ity Is independent of the mass of the
body. Experiment confirmed his posi-
ton. The small ball reached the earth
first. In vacuum all bodies fall with
the same velocity through any distance.
AS a practical statement, it may be
taken as true that small dense bodies
will conform to the theoretical laws,
falling any distance less than 200 feet,
In the atmosphere. But with an ounce
and ton there would be perceptible
difference. The ounce ball would fall
the faster. Facts like this are now
adays demonstrated by even elemen.
tary students In almost every class b
physics In the country"

TRADE REPORT

Bradstreet's report of trade for 1ast

as 1t has been to retail trade in the
cities and country districts alike and
retarding the growth of most crons
put particularly corn and oats in the
northern states. Withal, however.
there is feeling prevalent that a few
weeks of warm, sunny weather. a de.
clded lack of which has so far been
noted this spring, would do much to
place matters commercial and agricul-
tural in as good or better condition
imam a year ago. Apart from this the
week has been without much exchange.
except that a rather better spirit has
been visible in the industrial market
and some progress has been made. The
situation in textiles has not changed
materially. The steadiness of prices Is
still a feature, those for cereals being
as high, or slightly higher, than a week
ago, as much owing to bad crop reports
from abroad as to the tales of dry
weather damage in the northwest to
wheat and too cool weather for corn in
the country as whole.
