TARIFF ASD

Congressman Rucker. Of the Second,
Missouri. district, shows up the hypo-
cracy OF. republican protectionis,s very
effectively AS follows:
The average wage OF men, ome
and children employed in manuiactur-
ing establishments in 1890. before the
Dingley law, was s4I4.s2 per annum.
With all OF the boasted protection az
toIded the man Of toll by the benign
and beneficial provisions Of the Dingley
tariff and the hypocritical cam OF the
republican party about maintaining a
high standard OF American labor the
fact is, that in 1900 the average wage
paid by these highly protected u 1901
per capita less per annum than was paid
in 1890.
This amount is not very large when
considered with reference to the pay OF
one man, but when taken from the
earnings Of each o, over five million
wage earuers aggregates the enormous
sum Of s35, G23 AGA. This represents the
exact amount taken from the pockets
Of labor in a single year by a lot OF
b ounty-ied, tariff enting cormorants with
the aid, consent and ~conniyan e OF the
republican party.
@Not only are manufacturers enabled
to reduce wages mt their own sweet Will
and pleasure and thus prey upon men
who are compelled to toll for daily
bread, but republican policies nrt

and rapidly increasing number OF trusts

IiEJECIED HY CONGREsS.

The letter OF President Roosevelt to
Congressman James T.. Watson OF It.
diana is nm extraordinary illustration OF
his tlexibility and utter disregard for
facts when it suits his purpose to per-
vert them. He says that the Fifty.ninth
congress at its first session effected more
good legislation than any other congress
in many years. The truth ia that it
effected nothing of any permanent
value, while it rejected more good
measures and adopted more bad ones
than any other congress in the history
OF the United States.
1t rejected the Tillman bill to prevent
contributions by corporations to party
campaign funds, although that excellent
bill passed The senate.
II rejected the Williams bill to reduce
the tariff on all articles on which the

Philippine tariff bill and all other tariff
propositions.

valleye, put TO work and given different

disease. Some animals may have the

they are weakened BY exposure, have

may have aggravated the disease but

PREVENTION ASD TREATMENT
Although not highly contagious in
the sense that every animal exposed is
certain to get the disease, it is spread by
a germ which Is present in the dis.
charges and bodies OF sick animals. 1t
is therefore important to keep all sick
horses i'll pastures or stables by the IN
selves. All carcasses should be burned;
and the stables, manure and other dis
charges, disinfected by sprinkling with
q 5 per cen solution OF chloride Of lime
or carbolic acid Ia small cup-ful to
every gallon OF watcr).
The following treatment is recon.
mended by an experienced veterinarian
where it is possible, put the horses in
the stable, close all doors and windowE;
then saturate some sacks in pine tar
put them in iron buckets, set fire to the
sacks, allow them to blaze up brightly
then smother the flames and let the
smoke permeate the stable and the
horses breathe it,"
~If the animal is constipated, give
injections Of warm soap and water in
stead OF %drenching."
In cases where high fever exists, Civ,
Acetanilid powder in dram doses ever!

tongue and blow the powder down hi

GREAT POWER IN THREADS
Simple Explanation Of the Ability Of
the Spider to Lift Heavy \
Objects. 80. e.

DR.. Phin describes, among Other
strange things, how q spider con.
trived to lift from the ground a snake
that was. Of course, many times heavt
er than its elf. The story is of inter
est chiefly for tie scientific explana-
ton which is given of the way In
which the thing was done.
Some years ago III small village In
New York state spider entangled q
raised it some distance from the
ground, in spite of the struggles of the
reptile, which was alive.
But what process of engineering did
the comparatively small and feeble in
sect succeed in lifting the snake by
mechanical means? The solution is
easy enough If one only gives the
question a little thought.
The spider is furnished with one Of
the. most efficient mechanical imp4e-
ments known to engineers, namely. q
strong elastic thread. There are few
substances that will support greater
strain than the silk of the spider. Care
full experiment has shown that for
equal sizes the strength of these f1bers
exceeds that of common iron; but not
withstanding it's strength the spiders
thread would be useless as mechani-
cal power if it were not for its elias
ITCHY. =
The spider has no blocks or pulleys
and therefore cannot cause the thread
to divide up and run in different di.
rections, but the elasticity Of the
thread more than makes up for this
and renders possible the lifting Of an
animal much heavier than snake.
Let us suppose that child can lift
a six pound weight one foot high and
can do it 20 times minute. Furnish
him with $50 rubber bands, each cap.
able Of pulling six pounds through one
foot when stretched. Let these bands
be attached to wooden platform on
which stand pair of horses weighing
2,1O0 pounds, or rather more than q
ton. "A
If, now, the child will go to work and
stretch these rubber bands singy.
hooking each one up as it is stretched,
in less than 20 minute he will have
raised the pair of horses one foot s
The elasticity of the rubber bands
enables the child to divide the weight
of the horses into $50 pieces of SIX
pounds each, and at the rate Of a httfe
less than one every three seconds. ha
lifts all these several pieces one foot
so that the child easily lifts this eror-
nous weight. IA
Each spiders thread acts like one OF
the elastic rubber bands. The spider
would have to connect\the snake with
the point from which it was to be sus-3
pended by sufficient number OF
threads. By pulling successfully On
each thread and shortening 1t 1ittle,,&
the snake might be raised to any
height within the capacity CT the
building in which tne work was du1e.is
