EARTHQUAKES.

The recent earthquakes in, southeast
of and west of Manitoba puzzles the
scientists because they occurred in a
country that gives no evidence of ever
having been volcanic There are many
causes of earthquakes, and l hold that
one of these is electric, very similar to
cloudquake commonly called thunder.
If the earth becomes overcharged with
electricity it will discharge to the moon
or sun or to another planet, and that
discharge, if very sudden, causes an
earthquake. If less suden tornado, a
hurricane, or great continental storm
center results.
About May IS when that earthquake
occurred the electrical tension of the
earth was great and the squake prob
ably prevented great storms.

WILL PINCH THE POOR.
Wcarcrs of Cotton Stockings tn Bear
Burden of Tariff Increase.

New York, April S.-That thu
to the majority of Americans, which
Is threatened in the Payne bill, Is
rousing to protest the people Of
every state, county and town In
this country was reported in this
city today Careful canvas of the
customers OF storekeepers and sales
men in touch with the people OF
every section of the land has been
made from the headquarters of the
National Wholesale Dry Goods asso-
citation here for several weeks and
the results show that few persons OF
moderate means do not resent the
present plan at Washington to shut
and let a local trust make It's own
price. Instead of paying a quarter
for pair of cotton stockings, IL has
been calculated. most American fam
lilies must be charged thirty-five and
fifty cents for an inferior grade of
goods II the proposed schedule Is
adopted.
Facts and figures showing that
every man, woman and child who
wears cotton stockings will be taxed
for the benefit OF the little group of
men who make them here are today
being sent to Washington by con-
suiners In every part of the coun-
Try. From the official statistics the
dry goods men have compiled for
their inQuiring customers the rec
ords OF the manufacturers who are
seeking protection and profit at the
expense of the people. In the last
eight years 1t is recorded that the
production OF the American hosiery
mills has been doubled while there
has been no increase In the importa-
ton OF the stockings which they
would shut out altogether by pro-
t'titlve tariff ratio. Only 15 per cent
OF all the stockings sold In thla
country are imported. 1t Is shown,
and with this slight element OF slim
ulating competition removed by the
Payne bill, control would be Gre
ated which would put all Americans
At the mercy OF arbitrary trust pri-
cee.
That the wealthy few will pay no
more for their silk hosiery, which
Is left unchanged on the schedule,
while the families OF moderate
means must be heavily taxed for
their cotton stockings Is reported to
