Remember 1892.

Shall history repeat itself In the mat
ter of Tariff revision? Is the country
prepared to duplicate the folly of 1892?
Congressman McCleary of Minnesota
in letter to some of his constituents
answers these questions in a broad,
comprehensive, clear and philosophy
cal manner Ten years ago the people
of the United States were persuaded
that prices were too high and that in
order to bring about general reduc-
ton in values the Mckinley Tariff
should be repealed. 1t was repealed,
and prices fell nightly. Four years
later the problem was, How shall
prices be increased? This time the
Democratic solution was, A Fifty Cent
Dollar Mckinley pointed out a bet
ter way to restore the good prices that
had been foolishly flung away in 1892.
His plan was to open the mills instead
of the minis. His plan was adopted.
Prices revived under the workings of
Republican Protective Tariff. All
prices revived-prices of things to be
sold, prices of things to be bought.
prices of labor. Tremendous prosperity
resulted, greater than any people in
any period of human history had ever
known. That prosperity has continued
for nearly five years. There is no
break in sight. Once again, however,
it is contended that prices are too
high. Once again it is proposed to
lower prices by Tariff revision. 1t was
done in that way eight years ago. 1t
can be done again in that way. Shall
it be done?

Not So Strange.

The Providence journal thinks 1t
strange that the promoters of the beet
sugar industry should have been able
to hold up legislation for Cuban relief
Does the Journal forget that the
domestic producers held a specific
pledge from the Republican party
that their industry shall be Protected?
Is it so strange that they should ask
the honorable fulfillment of this pledge,
and that a considerable number OF
LOYAL and consistent Protectionists in
Congress should do all in their power
to prevent the violation of this pledge?
The strange thing about it is that there
should be a single Republican mem
Der of Congress claiming to be a Pro-
tectionist in favor of Withholding from
the domestic growers their just and
lawful right to the same measure OF
Protection that is granted to other do
nestle producers.

Should BE Careful.

No tariff is perfect, even for the
time at which it is framed. Every
tariff act, like legislation of any
other sets, is a compromise among
diverse interests. 1t satisfies no one
entirely, and it grows, in spots, less
and less satisfactory as time alters
conditions. But there is always a
chance that when any revision at all
of a tariff is attempted, the whole sys-
TEN is taken up for discussion. In
every instance when tariff changes
have been started the changes have
affected more articles than the chang
es intended at the outset. One of the
consequences of this tinkering has
been that men in nearly all sorts of
industries have been made uncertain
regarding the outlook, and as a con-
sequence enterprise is blighted for the
time.
The Republican party has a special
incentive to be careful about tariff tin
kering at the present time. An cleo
ton for Congress will take place some
months hence. and congressional cleo
tons which come at the middle Of
presidential term are apt to hamper
the party in power in the presidency.
The Republicans, OF course. went
through the congressional canvass Of
1895. in the middle Of President Nc

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON-
EISOAIED IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number OF
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
of stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped II into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets OF in
furious substitutes in place of whole
some baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents a
pound, there Is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use
it. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis. but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance In pro-
tecting the health of the people is i'm
portant, cannot make a chemical eX-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten TO
twenty cents for a pound can, or
What some prize-like a, spoon or
glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der of established name and cnarac-
te., and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, it is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

A Good Radiance.

Congressman Babcock authorizes the
statement that he has changed his
attitude on the question of the con-
tinued Protection of the domestic SUI
gar industry, and is now prepared to
Join the knitting that industry by a
reduction of 20 per cent of the Tariff
on Cuban sugar. For time the Wis
consin Tariff Ripper stood with the
Protectionists in opposing this sur
render to Free-Trade and Sugar Trust
pressure. He has been made to see the
error of his ways and get in line. If
anything could add to the dignity and
the consistency of the attitude of the
anti-surrender wing, Babcock's defec-
ton has done it. He could well be
spared.

RNLLu|AM CRITICISED.
Blue Bloods Cannot Condone His
Noticing Business Men.
RECOGNIZES THEM AT COURT,

Berlin, April 26.-Emperor William
is bitterly criticised in aristocratic
drawing rooms because untitled bust
ness men constituted the majority of
his guests during his recent excursion
in the North sea on the North German
Lloyd steamer Kron Prinz wilhelm. So
significant is the emperor's gracious
ness toward these men regarded by the
old aristocracy that newspapers all
aver Germany with aristocratic lean
ings have, during the last two days,
begun regular editorial campaign
against the new policy introduced into
court life. While the German nobility
have long noted with apprehension his
majesty's liking for the company of
the men who are making industrial
and commercial Germany his public
entertainment of so many business
men is accepted as deliberate recog-
milton of that class at court
The Cologne Vollis Zeitung says that
the question now is, which side will
gain predominant influence? If the
Conservative Agrarian element is
pressed to the wall, and if the men
who have written on their banners IAN
industrial state, world trade and
world politics, get the upper hand,
then Germany will face the mightiest
internal transformation which modern
history records.

A Banuuet Novelty.

At banquet recently given in Paris
by a French countess the guests re-
ceivod a most astounding surprise. In
the center of the table was what APP
peared to be a huge pile of roses, and
Just before soup was served the roses
parted, disclosing a large bird cage.
This suddenly opened, revealing a
young lady adorned with wings. She
remained in her strange position dur
ing the dinner, and introduced each
new dish by singing a coupled

saltest Lake in the World.

Lake Uramia of Persia contains
more salt than any other body OF
water in the world. On analysis the
water has been found to contain even
more salt than the Dead Sea, which
holds 26 per cent, or eight times as
much as the ocean. Swimming is easy
in the Great Salt Lake of Utah owing
to the density of the water, which Is
also more salt than that of the ocean.
