THE TARIFF ON ART.

| The cultured statesman OF the West
Stands I'm his place, puts out his chest,
Wipes off his chin pulls down his vest.
Then In manner most immense
Looks round upon his audience
And loosens up his eloquence:
MY voice is still for Art he cries;
And for this infant enterprise,
AS yet SO new upon our soil.
The horny-handed artists toll
Cannot compete with foreign brands .
Turned out In all cheap labor lands. I
I'm for a tariff that will give
Our homemade art chance TO live.
This glorious land Of ours must not
Be handed over TO a lot
OF foreigners that work so cheap
They're satisfied with board and keep
And run their goods in here so low
Nobody else can get show,
| His patriots fit and bled and died
| To help along the other side?
Perish the thought! We've got the stun
| To turn out art that's good enough
In metals and in chinaware.
And other kinds of brickybracs,
And ornamental knickernax.
II we will only see the wrong
And make the tariff good and strong.
The tariff is the thing we need
To choke the foreign artists greed,
! To make America all right
And boom our art plumb out of sight.

FUEL FOR SPECULATIVE STEAM.
Boom I'm stocks and Bonds and the
Total Greatly Increased.
PHILADELPHIA Press

Whether 1905 continues the speculative
advance OF 1906, adding $2.000,00o,0oo in
round numbers to the quoted value Of
railroad shares, there is no possible doubt
that neither 1906 nor the year after will
equal the issues of new securities which
have kept up the steam of speculation and
business during the last year.
In the average, ordinary years of large
prosperity, such as has been in progress
| during the last ten years, new securities
ned for new capital and old securities
reissued have averaged from $500 10000 to
| $40OOO00O0. Ten years ago, for three years.
! 1896, 1897 and 1885, from s2Oo,0O0ooo to $780,
! 900 was issued yearly of new securities.
The face value then increased to years in
which $500, 100000 to 5000 900 was issued,
| with an average between.
In 1906 y700,o0oO 900 of new securities call
| ing for new capital were issued, and. taking
| old securities reissued the new issues were
| in all S1,52s 100000 in the year just closed.
When the Steel trust was organized in
| 1901 there was an enormous issue OF its
| inflated securities, of which Steel trust
| common has since touched s, though 1t was
4s last week. This issue OF 1901 was ex-
ceptional and in one corporation.
The round billion and a half for old Sc
curities and new in 1905 covered the entire
! range OF railroads. The issue made beats
! the record as TO new shares and bonds.
or all, fully half, 500. 100000, was for new
| capital These securities have gone into
engines, cars. rails. new lines and ter
minals They have kept trade busy, lively
and profitable. In 1857 it was computed
that 100000 men were working on new
railroad work. Not less are employed di-
rectly and indirectly today on railroad i'm
provements.
When this new work is over somebody
has got to find way to earn the interest
and the dividends on these new securities.

the custom of railroads in exchanging
passes with each other.
Mr.. Fish, so it is told, noted very care
fully the various restrictions imprinted on
the pass. After a careful study OF the
document he came to the conclusion that
there was just one train upon which the
pass would give him the right to travel,
and that one leaving New York for the
west some time about sunrise.
Having come to this conclusion, Mr..
Fish determined TO show equal courtesy
to the New York Central He took
blank form for n pass over the Illinois
Central railroad, filled it out in Mr.. Dan
iels' name and made 1t read, Good for
transportation on all hand cars on all the
lines Of the Illinois Central railroad sys-

G. Tracy sounds a warning of the danger

reason a person who has nephritis should
use but little common salt is because the
excessive use of 1t produces dropsy and
retards the activity of the sweat glands
by increasing the osmotic pressure of the
blood.
1t has been demonstrated by well-known
physiologists DIR. Tracy says, that only
small amounts OF sodium chloride Common
salt are essential for the well being OF
man Refraning from too strenuous life
and the avoidance OF excuses in diet. al
coholic drinks and common salt, will do
much, the physician continued, toward the
prevention of diseases of the kidney.
