Pleased Himself.

A certain head gardener, whose work
Is admired by thousands Of visitors
every summer, is as outspoken as he
is capable.
Not long ago he was summoned
before the directors of the establish
ment where he is engaged to explain
why he had made certain alterations
without consulting the board.
"Well, gentlemen" he remarked, "the
alterations is a success, and that salts
fies me-"
"But that isn't the point" said the
chairman. "Why didn't you consult
me in the matter"
Because, sir I'm satisfied with my
place at present, and intend to keep
it."

way about it," said the chairman.
"Well, l do, and that's where we diff

give had the job five years, and be-
fore I came you'd had four gardeners
in twelve months. Why? because
the first tried to please the chairman
of the board and failed. The second
tried to please the manager and didn't
stop a month. The third tried to please
the secretary, and the directors sacked
him. The fourth tried to please the
whole board, and so ran afoul Of the
manager and the secretary. The fifth
that's me-pleases hisself and keeps
his job!'
And, be it remarked, the gardener is
still pleasing hisself" at the same

The earth does not travel at the same
rate all through it's journey. It's orbit
being elliptical, it must at some time
approach nearer to the sun than at 9TH
ers and will take less time in moving
through one part of it's path than
through another. In winter the earth
Is nearer the sun than in summer and
moves through space more rapidly. On
Jan. 1 the earth is about 100000 miles
nearer the sun than it is on July l.,
and as the velocity of a planet in
creases with it's nearness to the sun the
earth passes over one half of it's orbit
in less time than over the other half
Between the vernal equinox, which
happens on March p, and the autumn
nal equinox, which falls on Sept. %, the
earth is 1856 days in accomplishing that
half of her journey round the sun,
while the other half occupies only 179
days. 1t has been said that owing to
the friction caused by the tides and
other reasons the earth is moving more
slowly than it used to do and that the
days are consequently frightening, but
as this is only to the extent Of half a
second in a century it will be long
time before there will be any apparent
difference.

Is Protection Robbery"

The Democratic assertion that "pro-
lection is robbery; that the tariff is
tax on the American consumer, is
best refuted by examining the effect Of
protection on the tin-plate industry
When the Mckinley bill was passed
nine-tenths of all the tin used in this
country was manufactured abroad. To
day the manufacture of tin is one
of the most important of our home in
dustries, contributing millions of dol
lars annually to our national wealth.
But this is the least part of the story,
in SO far as the tariff is concerned
the price of tin began to go down in
proportion as the United States began
to produce it, and the American con-
sumner has never paid under the Nc
Kinley tin tariff anywhere near as
much per pound for tin plate as he
paid when tin was on the free list.

That's good and plenty! How stu
pid you men are" Denise said sagely,
"but Sister Ketcham wouldn't let an
archangel have Malinda with her good
word, because her bad word means
keeping a clutch on the money, and
she's so stingy she even grudges her
self good long breath"

ASSAILING THE TARIFF
Democrats Seem Determined to Force q
Disturbing Issue.

ISSUE
Signs increase that the Democratic
leaders are determined to force the
tariff issue to the front in the presi-
Dental campaign. While Republicans
will welcome the discussion of this
question, well knowing that it is sure
to add many thousands of votes to
their majorities, they cannot but re-
greet the selection of the tariff as the
main issue, because of the unfortunate
influence it will have upon the bust
ness interests of the country.
So far this year the presidential
campaign has not blocked business and
financial activity. Affairs proceed as
usual. In all lines of business there
IS hopefulness and confidence which
is most encouraging. But if the cOun-
try is to be confronted with another
visitation of tariff revision agitation,
with even a remote chance of sue
cess in the election, there is bound to
be great slump in the industrial
world and corresponding depression
in all business interests.
1t is well remembered what hap
pened ten years ago, when, as Presi-
dent Roosevelt puts it, ''the last at
tempt was made by means of lower
ing the tariff to prevent such people
from prospecting too much" The at
tempt was entirely successful. The
tariff law of that year was among the
causes which in that year and for
some time afterward effectually
prevented anybody from prospecting at
all. Undoubtedly it would be possible
at the present time to prevent any
of the trusts from remaining prosper
GUS by the simple expedient Of max
ing such a sweeping change in the
tariff as to paralyze the industries Of
the country"
The people Of the United States
will not soon court again the destruc-
ton and panic of 1893. Once is enough
for one generation. There will be a
tremendous vote against tariff legisla-
ton by the Democrats.
The confidence of the country may
stand even throughout a tariff revision
campaign, but it is risking good
deal to raise that issue in the manner
contemplated. They, however, have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. They must have something
to stand upon, and complete failure
inevery other attack made upon
the Republican position has driven
them upon the tariff as standing out
post of Republicanism which can al
ways be assailed, when nothing else af-
fords a convenient target.
