and charges you so much minute for
waiting for YOU. II you pass beyond
the city limits, the tax Is altered to
No. and the pfennigs pile up little
faster. If you have pieces Of baggage
to be carried on the seat beside the
driver, the taxometer charges SO much
for each of them on separate dial
and presents the whole bill at the end
of the Journey. There can be no dis
putes about the rate of fare or the dis
tance or the time. You see to 1t that
the proper tax number Is set when you
get in, and what you have to pay when
you get out is mathematical cer-
tainty.
"These droskys stand on side streets
or drive slowly along looking for trade.
When a drosky IL disengaged a little
red sign with the word 'Frei on 1t
announces the fact and the position Of
this sign disconnects the taxometer
from the cyclometer on the hub of the
wheel, so that in a drosky running
round in search of fares the taxometer
does not register and must be at zero.
The moment you step into the vehicle
this little red sign Is pushed down out
Of sight and the tax figure is set ac-
cording to the number Of people get
ting into the vehicle. The same motion
that sets the figures starts the clock
work that registers stoppages. You
may be certain that you will get your
full distance for the first SO pfennigs
from the place where the little red
'Frei sign is pushed down. When you
stop to go into a shop and leave the
drosky empty, a little green sign Is
pulled up which notifies the public
that the vehicle is engaged. The mo-
ment the little red sign Is pulled up
again the whole mechanism goes back
to zero. These taxometer cabs are in
use in all the principal cities of Ger

q RECENT issue of the Mexi-
~ can Journal of Commerce
4 y gives details of an interest,"
ing economic experiment
about to be undertaken in President
Diaz's domain. An incorporation
known as the MeXican-Asiatic COM
pany has recently secured from the
Mexican government two valuable
concessions. The first gives it the
right to run line of steamships be-
tween the west coast of Mexico and
Asia and its islands and the Hawaiian
Islands. Also a line of coastwise
steamers operating on the west coast
of Mexico. The concessionaires have
year from the present time In which
to get both lines in operation but ex-
pect to have them in operation some-
time In the fall of the present year.
Their vessels will carry passengers
and freight as common carriers des-
tined to all Asiatic and Mexican ports.
The steamers will be of adequate size
for the business and of good class.
The second part of the concession gives
the concessionaires the right to take
all products of the sea, excepting
pearls, from six different zones on the
west coast of Mexico with an aggre-
gate coast line of something like 1900
miles. The companies expect to dis
tribute along the coast a number of
Chinese fishermen and the shipment
will be made mostly to China, where
there is large market for dried and
cured fish.
But from an American standpoint
the most interesting feature of this
enterprise is the declared purpose of
it's promoters to import Asiatc labor
into Mexico. One of these presents his
argument thus: "If production in
Mexico were intended only for con-
sumption within Mexico, there would
probably be enough Mexican laborers
to answer the demands of such pro-
duction, at the present state of the
consuming power of the nation, but
the condition here is not such, and
there has come to Mexico foreign skill
and capital, which are producing not
for Mexican consumption; this foreign
power of consumption Is unlimited, and
so may the production of these foreign

In Uncle Sans treasury gold is now
accumulated to the snug sum of 1884,
391 SOB. This is more than half the gold
supply of the country. 1t is, in all
probability, the largest amount of gold
ever stored away. in the history of the
world. A statistician declares that it is
more by a hundred millions than all the
gold in the British Isles, is nearly as
much as all the gold in France, and
about three-quarters of the amount in
Germany. This shows the wisdom of
the Republican sound money policy.

ROFESSOR BlGELOW, or
- Boston, has discovered the
cause of the difference in
temperature of the hot and
cold seasons. and has cheerfully made
known the results of his investigations.
His explanation is as follows:
The hot season is inaugurated by a
large area of high pressure over the At
'antic. The tendency of the little wind
n motion in this area is from southeast
o southwest. extending it's atmosphere
,ver the country. This large area of high
pressure is attended by a corresponding
iOw-pressure movement north of this
area, and which proceeds in whirls of
wind eastward. AS this cooler, northern
current is, however, relatively feeble, it
is not sufficient to disturb the area of
high pressure, and it continues to pile
Up, as it We're. layer after layer of hot
air above the earth's surface. These lay
ers continue to pile up as long as the
large area of high pressure persists and
so we have a long and exceptional season
Of hot weather.
The converse of this takes place when
only a small area of high pressure is
formed over the Atlantic. For this area
is attended by correspondingly strong
movement of low pressure to the north.
This strong and cool northern current
rushes in and prevents the formation of
hot layers over the country. The stag
nant air is swept out and the space re-
filled by cooler air. Then we have cool
season. 1t is therefore, the size of the
area of high pressure which makes the
difference between "a hot and a cold sea-
ton. A large area, hot weather; small
Lrea, cool summer.
The statement of Professor Bigelow
ertainly simplifies matters. All that is
ecessary now is for some scientist to
lggest the best methods Of regulating
he pressure" and the bureaus in
ture will be able to furnish at will
article in the way of weather that
lnnot fail to please everybody.

Good corn and wheat crops mean big
Republican majorities. President Har-
rison in his second race gained in nearly
every city and town, but lost in all
wheat-growing sections. and these de-
feated his reelection. Singularly
enough both crop and prices were poor,
the all-world crop being exceptionally
large. Sixty cent wheat was then for
the first time a novelty. Corn prices
were likewise very low, SO low as to
cause many to use it for fuel The

The beet sugar industry offers
the first opportunity the farmers
have ever had to receive any bene-
fit from protective tariff, while
they have been paying tribute to
the protected interests of the east
ern manufacturers for many years.
Now the high protection party
proposes to deprive the farmers of
the protection on their product.
but still maintain it on things
they have to buy.
The Holly chieftain., 1902-10-24

The administration is determin-
ed to force if possible a reduction
of the tariff on Cuban sugar, the
direct effect Of which would be to
ruin the beet sugar industry of
this country. The republican
state platform endorses the admin
istration. Hence every republican
senator or representative is virtual
iy pledged, if elected. to vote for
Cuba and against the interests of
the people whom they represent.
