Joint Interests.

Labor needs capital to secure the best
production, while capital needs labor in
producing anything. The share of each
laborer in the joint product is affected
not exactly, but in general way, by
the amount of capital in use as com
pared with the number of those who
labor. The more capital in use the
more work there is to do, and the more
work there is to do the more laborers
are needed. The greater the need for
laborers the better their pay per man.
Manifestly, it is in the direct interest
nf the laborer that capital shall in
crease faster than the number of those
who work. Everything which legiti-
mately tends to increase the accumu-
lation of wealth and its use for pro-
duction will give each laborer a larger
share in the joint result of capital and
labor.-Hon. VIM. ii. Taft, ut Cooper
Union, New York City.

PROTECTION FOR DEPOs1ToRs.
Postal Savings Banks Offer Salts
factory Measure of Protection.


factory Measure of Protection.
Mr.. Bryan's scheme for the protec-
tion of depoSitors is to make solvent
and prudently managed banks pay the
losses of the insolvent and imprudently
managed. 1t is a plan to make every
bank 60 security for every other bank,
and it may well be questioned if law
imposing such an obligation without
the consent of the person charged
would be sustained by the courts.
Mr.. Taft, discussing this subject, said
that he favored postal savings banks as
a protection for depositors rather than
the Brya ms mcfheoecmfwyp cmfwyp
the Bryan scheme of enforced liability.
The distinct advantage of the postal
savings bank proposition is that it
would provide for direct government
responsibility. The depositors would
be guaranteed against loss by the
government, because the banks would
be government institutions. There
would be no possibility of loss, and no
injustice would be inflicted upon other
banks like that to which they would
be subjected under the Bryan scheme,
if they were compelled to pay losses
incurred by banks over which they
had no control.
Postal savings banks in other coun-
tries have given great satisfaction, and
there is no question that they would
be conducted as safely and in every
other way as satisfactorily in the Unit
ed States. The government be-
ing the banker, would properly be
charged with responsibility to the de-
positors and others doing business
| with it.
| On the other hand, the State has no
more authority to make a banker re-
sponsible for the debts Of another
banker than it has to impose like
responsibility upon a merchant for the
debts of other merchants Surety is a
matter of voluntary contract, and the
essential element in any financial OBJ
ligation is consent on the part of the
| person to be charged. To force a
banker to insure the payment of the
| lebts of another banker is to impose
l,pon him an obligation against his
| will, which would be manifestly un-
| lust.-Denver Republican.

and in detail has shown it's capacity to
govern. By the homestead law, with
equal generosity and wisdom, it distri-
buted the immense national domain
among the citizens who were willing
to cultivate it and who have convert
ed wide stretches of wilderness into
smiling homes. 1t built the Pacific
railroad, which has bound the union
together from east to west and made
the States beyond the mountains among
our most loyal and prosperous COM
mOnwealth. 1t redeemed our paper cur
rency and made all our forms of money
exactly of equal value, and our credit
the best in the world. BY persistent
honesty in our tinances-in the face OF
obstacles which might have daunted
the hardest statesmen-it has reduced
our interest charges so that in any
mart on earth we can borrow money
cheaper than any other people. We
have by the patient labor of years re-
formed and regulated our civil service,
so that patronage has almost ceased
to cast it's deadly blight upon the work
of our public servants.

Its record is but succession of bril-
liant and successful achievements
which have raised the nation to a
world power of the first rank and which
have vouchsafed to our people the max
mum of benefits with a minimum of
cost. Some things it has accomplished
may be mentioned here:
The homestead law passed by Re-
publican Congress and signed by Abra-
ham Lincoln.
The national banking laws, which
gave the people a currency stable in
all parts of the country.
The system of internal revenue tax
alton by which approximately one-half
of the ordinary expenses of the gov
eminent have been raised from malt
and spirituous liquors, tobacco and
cigars.
The constitutional amendments,
which abolished slavery, created citi-
Zenship of the United States, as dis
tingushed from citizenship of the sew
eral states, and established equality of
suffrage.
The Civil Rights act, which extended
to all persons the equal protection Of
the laws.
All existing laws for pensions to war
veterans.
The resumption of specie payments ;
the reduction of postage; the money
order system; the establishment of the
railway mail service.
Rural and city free delivery.
The endowment Of public schools,
agricultural colleges, ETC., by grants of
land from the public domain.
The establishment of the Circuit
Court of Appeals to relieve the Su,
preme Court and no longer require
litigants to suffer a delay Of three OF
four years in securing a decision on
appeal.
The principle of reciprocity, by
which we reduce the duties on certain
imports from countries that offer cor
responding advantages to our exports
and thus extend our foreign market.

measured the amount of light coming
from the moon at different phases with
the result above mentioned. The rea-
son for the remarkable difference
shown is to be found in the varying
angles of reflection presented by the
roughened surface Of our satellite to
the sun. The moon Is brighter between
first quarter and full than between
full and last quarter. The cause of
this Is evident In the more highly re-
1ective character of that part of the
moon which lies west Of It's meridian.

all students of this subject But self

In PRINTING a Newspaper.

In how short time a tree can be
converted into a newspaper was tried
recently. At 7;a5 u. IN. three trees
were felled and taken to nearby pa
per factory. BY 1884 the first sheet of
paper issued from the machineB The
printing works of the nearest newspa-
per were about two miles distant. The
paper was carried there In a motor car
at full speed, the presses set to work
and at exactly 10 a, IN. the newspaper
was ready to be printed. The whole
process from the forest to the reader
thus only occupied the space of two
hours and twenty-five minutes.

In Good Housekeeping. Every man and
woman In India struggles hard to ac-
complish II by practicing austerlties,
fasting and various kinds of devotional
exercises. The householder Ia not sup
posed to indulge in the desires of the
flesh. He should practice moderation
in eating and drinking. He should
hold the ideal of simple living and
practice II In his daily life. The Hindu
men and women are not allowed to
drink liquors, and the higher the social
rank the more rigorous becomes the
law of self-restraint.
The majority of the Hindus live
strictly upon vegetarian diet. and do
not eat animal flesh. They do not kill
animals for food, and they train their
children to practice this virtue of nom
killing. They do not believe that low
er animals are created to sustain hu-
man life; but, on the contrary. they
hold that In the process of evolution
the life Of the lower animal is as i'm
portant as that of the human being.
There are many families in India
whose Ideal is to sacrifce everything
for the sake of truth because they be-
lleve that the eternal truth cannot be
realized by one who is not absolutely

Whiekers In Pario Reach the Pinnacle
Of Cultivation.
1t is In Paris that the whisker
reaches its highest state of civilization
and development. The luxuriant YER
dure on the faces Of some of the Pari-
Sims who strut along the boulevard
every day can be compared to nothing
but the riot Of vegetation in the trop-
les. Every Partisan has whiskers--
much whiskers If he can, but some
whiskers at any rate. He supplements
the barber and trains and nurses his
hirsute appurtenances with anxious
care.
The Parisians spend hours on their
boards and educate them into formal
gardens. set pieces, shrubbery. terrace
and vista effects. They lay out hair
scapes with them. arrange them In un-
dulating meadows and twine them on
pergolas. There is the long, spade con-
coction much sought by men with
black boards, which consists Of about
foot Of hair cut square across the
bottom and adds much glory to the
wearer. for the whiskers always shine
and glisten In the sun. There are side
winders and pointed ones. the heart
shaped and the curved, the waved and

whiskers to grow In a new way is as
much Of celebrity as a man who

In Favor Of Narrowing Roads.

The sentiment in favor OF the re-
ductlon of the width of highways
from 60 to 40 feet appears TO be be-
coming quite general. Petitions from
land owners in the different states,
we learn are being made to the high
way commissioners to this. effect.
The claim made is that too much land
is allowed to grow up to weeds by
having the road so wide, as the extra
ten feet could be well utilized If TAX

that by narrowing the legal width of

"The greatest field now offered to
