NATURES WAX MAKERS.
Bee by No Mesns the Only One
Though Best Known.

Bee by No Means the Only One,
Though Best known.
Bees are by no means the only pro-
ducers Of animal wax, although prob
ably 80 persons out of a 100 would
say so. The very biggest animal in
the world is one Of the most impor-
tant producers, and fine wax it Is.
1t is spermaceti, and it Is obtained
from the head Of the sperm whale.
When a sperm whale has been killed
and is brought alongside, the first
thing that the whalemen do after the
chains are passed around the fiukes
to hold the big creature alongside of
the whaling ship. is to cut the head
from the body. Having got it aboard.
the whalers begin to cut into the huge
head until they open what Is known
by them as the "case." This con-
tains the spermaceti. 1t is beauti-
full clear, perfectly white fluid. and
it is dipped out with bucket and put
into special casks. 1t is stored away
in the hold in a separate place from
the whale oil, and it brings a good
price at all times. for the demand for
spermaceti is unceasing.
The Chinese obtain a great deal Of
extremely fine wax from a small in
sect called pela. 1t lives on trees. and
the Chinese cultivate the pela just as
other races breed the honey bee. The
pela. however, produces nothing ex-
cept wax. The insect produces small
masses of pure white wax, and it is
used by the Chinese and japanese for
making candles to be burned in Bud
dhist temples. The wax Is used also
for medicinal purposes. Another wax
insect lives in certain districts Of In
dia. 1t is not propagated as the Chi
nese pela is. but is produces q very
valuable wSX,

Speaker Cannon have agreed that no
legislation is TO he enacted at the COM
ing sessions of Congress, other than
Cuban reciprocity and the necessary
appropriation bills, and that Congress
is to adjourn at the end of April or by
the first of May. Hhe sane report says
that the utmost frugality is TO be the
rule, and that all appropriation bills
are to be pared to the core. No river

new offices created. The word pork
is to be banished from the Republican
vocabulary and rarsimony is to take

his efforts. The lobby would be Dan-
ished, and that has not happened
since the Democrats were in power. A
Republican Congress without graft
would be barren ideality, and Is as
impossible as that water should run

delegate to Republican National
Convention, What are we here fOr!'
and the universal chorus was, For

There is, however, a slice of dough
to be distributed to the rank and file
of Congress. which the leaders will
also assimilate. to heal the wounds of
such brutal thrift. Under the law, the
members of Congress are allowed 20
cents mile going to and returning
from Washington, and the extraOrdin-
airy session offers the opportunity of
good graft on the public treasury. 1t
is proposed to pay each Congressman
mileage for the extra session and also
for the regular session which immedi-
ately follows. OF course none of them
will go home. and If they should their
passes will provide transportation. As
some of the members are paid over
$1,000 for mileage, the total amount
of this extra allowance will take hun
dreds of thousands of dollars out of
the treasury. Republican economy
generally has string to it, and the
old cry of ''the old flag and an appro-
priation" may yet prevail with these
Republican patriots.
Prosperity Breaks Down.
The Republicans are still shouting
Prosperity" on the stump. Their
bureaus at Washington are busy send
ing out prosperity statistics and their
newspapers are faithfully printing
these facts and figures"
The Boston Transcript of Oct. %
contains some of this prosperity mat
ter. The headlines of one column read
Prosperity Will Increase" of another
column they read Prosperity Is Based
on Firm Foundation" But in an0th-
er column, or, rather, two columns. are
some news matter Of another kind.
Here are some extracts from one col
umn:
Chicago. Oct 22.-Organized labor
is facing the greatest wage crisis since
the panic of 1893, if the forecast Of its
leaders is correct. Indications of re-
trenchment are seen on every hand.
1t has been estimated that before the
close of the year the big employing
concerns of the country will have dis
charged nearly 100000 men. most of
them laborers and general utility
workers. OF this number the railroads
are expected to drop from employment
100000 men, the mine operators $4,000,
the machine shops and iron, steel and
tin plate plants 25O.OCG, and the build
ing trades more than 10000"
The prosperity" which has now
broken down so conspicuously and
which is not the result of crop failures
or of low prices for farm products, has
never been real prosperity. 1t has
been prosperity for the trusts only.

The administration and Wall Street.
There is chance that now the Wall
street pirates are disagreeing and GO
ing to law about the disposal of the
swag, that the public may have their
eyes opened about the way they have
been swindled. The history of the Or
ganization of the shipbuild ng trust, as
told under oath by one of the partici-
pants, is picture, doubtless. of the
peculiar transactions that have at
tended the organization of numerous
other trusts. The sale of the Bethle-
hem Steel Company to the shipbuild-
ing trust was participated in by the
kings of finance in Wall street, and
the proportions of the steal We're as
gigantic as the supposed fortunes of
the participants. The public, who were
swindled by this gold brick game.
have only themselves to blame, for
careful inquiry, or. for that matter. a
cursOry glance at the properties includ-
ed in the corporation, would have
opened the eyes of the veriest tyrO in
financial affairs. The constant warm
ings sounded for the past year of the
water-lOgged condition of the stock
market by the honest newspapers of
the country should have prevented
their readers from being victimized.
The attempt of the administration.
through Secretary Shaw, to bolster up
Wall street in its depredations on the
honest investor by pouring millions of
the public money into the favored
banks, which are notoriously allied
with Wall street pirates. is beyond
belief. If President Roosevelt and his
cabinet did not understand the con-
ditions in the stock market. with ali
their sources of knowledge, they are
totally unfit to manage the affairs of
the greatest government on earth. If
they. or Secretary Shaw, We're apprised
of the pitilessly beset plight of the
trust makers and responded to their
cry for help, they must answer 10 the
victims and to the nation.
Unfortunately, Wall street has an in
direct influence on the general business
of the country. and it is much to be
feared that the effect is already shown
in some of the principal industries. and
that reduced business and falling
wages may be looked for. for time

In 1870, then, we exported 1874 per
cent of the total value Of our farm
products, and in 1900, 22 per cent.
Thus. out of every $1O0 worth of farm
products sold, we sold, in 1900, $3.50
worth abroad, while, in 1870, at the be-
ginning of high protection-tO some
bOdy-we sold only $3.50 worth
abroad. The protected home market
of the farmer appears to be getting
farther away from home.
A similar result can be shown in
other ways: While population has in
creased only 800 per cent since 1850,
or 142 per cent since 1880, the value
of our agricultural products exported
has increased go per cent since 1850,
and 22S per cent since 1860 This in
dicates clearly that our farmers are
more dependent upon foreign markets
to-day than in 1850 or 1850, during our
low tariff period. Again, taking the
averages for the first five and for the
last five years given in the Statistical
Abstract, we learn that from 1871 to
1875 we exported 3.13 per cent of our
corn and cOrnmeal, while from 1898 to
1902 we exported S.22 per cent. For
the first period We exported 1920 per
cent Of our wheat, and for the second
period 36.12 per cent. These figures
indicate that "home markets" for farm
products are not crossing the ocean
rapidly in this direction at the beck of
protection" In fact, they are 'back
pedaling." and getting farther away.
The farmer must now use long-dis-
tance telescope to see his protected
home market"
The protected home market Is, 10
fact, a fraud and swindie on the
farmer. High tariffs never did and
never will do anything but decrease
the home market for farm products in
n country like ours. What is best for
the country as whole will increase
the population most rapidly and thus
increase the size of the home market.
Statistics show that both our popula-
tion and the value of our farm prod
acts never increased as rapidly as dur
ing the so-called free trade" period
from 1850 to 1860. Under this low tar
iff both our home and foreign markets
increased as never before. This was
our most prosperous period for the
whole people, as Mr.. James G. Blaine
admitted in his "Twenty Years of
Congress" 1t is astonishing that the
farmers have forgotten this decade
and have not voted for their own in
terests ever since. as the manufacture
ers have always done-Byron W. Holt.

OF the city. where gentlemen drivers
may speed their horses for recreation
and soeiable trials. The movement has

with the result of a qualified member
ship OF nearly 100 supporters. and
withal a substantial bank account. In
these circumstances the promoters OF
the enterprise feel greatly gratihed.
One OF the most cheering incidents in
connection with the work is the recon-
mendation embodied in the annual re-
port Of Col. Thomas W. Symons. super
intendent OF public buildings and
grounds, for an extension of the Po-
tomac Park Driveway, south of the
White House, so that they will include
suitable stretch of speedway on the
river front extending from a point op-
posite the Washington Monument, in
the direction Of the Naval Observatory.
In this connection it is the purpose
OF the Commissioners to connect the
Potomac Park driveways with those OF
Rock Creek Park. so that riders and
pleasure drivers may reach Rock Creek
without having to travel miles of as
phaltum roadways. which are so deadly
to delicate horsehesh.
