which formed the third recommends

1T may well be that the Third

THE REAL ISSUE

Col. j. G. Battelle, of Columbus,
who is well known to the business
people of Ohio has sent out a circular
having for its purpose to show the
Indirect benefits OF a protective tariff.
He argues that 1t is better that our
pig iron be produced at home than
abroad that ,he railways will benefit
more by domestic production: mat
the ore, brick, lime, etc, owners and
operatives will receive greater bene-
fits and finally that nation grows
in wealth by the excess of what it
produces. So Ear as one can see on
a superficial observation there seems
to be no reason to take issue with
Col Battelle. In a country which
has such an expensive government as
ours taxes must be levied TO provide
the finances to oil the wheels of
State. Nobody now is contemplating
free trade in everything. Moreover,
most statesmen are willing to con-
cede that reasonable tariffs are ex-
pedient But the issue is joined be-
tween reasonable and unreasonable
tariffs, between 40 per cent. duties
and 100 per cent duties, between a
fair tariff and prohibitory tax un-
der which will be organized
monopoly in which will be intrench.
ed greed and extortion. Our Ameri-
can citizens, as a rule, will not OBJ
jeCt seriously to tariff that will
protect fairly American labor and
American enterprise but they will OBJ
ject to a tariff which will offer a
great scheme for monopolistic ex-
ploitation with our S9,999, 600 consum-
ers playing the role OF dupes and
shorn lambs. If Col. Battelle will ad-
dress himself to that question and
explain why raw sugar pays but S1.O4
per hundred while refined sugar pays
Sl95 per hundred and why there
should be 100 per cent. and $50 per
cent. and 200 per cent and even 300
per cent. tariffs, he will be getting
down to business. An investigation
shows that where these high tariffs
are imposed there are no importations
and the government receives nothing.
1t also shows that the domestic
product sells at a very high price TO
the detriment and deprivation of
thousands and millions of our clti-
zens and to the depression of the
wage-scale, and the only particular
benefit is found in adding new un-
earned millions to the overgrown ana
sometimes dishonest millions of half
a dozen or dozen wealthy capitalists
and magnates of monopoly Here is
a proposition worthy OF Col. Battelle's
genius. We should like to see a man
of wide knowl edge and conceded ex-
perience and ability take up this
matter of 200 per cent, tariffs and
show, if it can be shown, that such
tariffs operate for the welfare of the
common people of America. And il
it cannot be shown then let us turn
all our guns upon these exorbtant
duties and comoel their reduction.

THE STORY OF
RY OF
THE ELECTRIC FAN

The ELECTRIC FAN
or all the hot weather comforts
the electric fan is easily the first.
A bit of shade brings a little relief
from the heat OF the July sun, a bit
OF cracked ice properly applied to GER
tain hot weather beverages helps to
keep the sufferer few degrees be-
low dangerous temperature; but it
is the little electric fan which brings
the cool breezes of the hills into the
hottest apartment, into the sweltering
city fiat or the not Office. No matter
how hot the sun shines, no matter
how much humidity in the air, no
matter how sitting and stagnant the
atmosphere-the touch OF button
ard the cooling breezes are at tho
command of anyone in any quantity
or velocity desired
Electricity is the magician which
holds captive the rays of the sun and

away the sombre shades of night
who takes the heat of the coal and
brings it into the house to cook the
foods and heat the rooms, who takes
the power from the falling water and
carries it miles and miles to turn the
wheels of industry and transportation
And not content with all these won
ders, electricity has stuffed into its
wonder bag the Four Winds and re-
leases them at your command.
The electric fan was an American
invention which has been developed
within the last few years until mil
lions OF the fans are in use through.
out the world. Back in the early
eighties DR.. 5. s. Wheeler, an cleo
trical engineer of New York, was ex-
perimenting with a small electric
motor. In the course of his expert
ments the Doctor conceived the idea
that steamboats, might be run with
electricity If the propeller could be
direct connected to high-speed cleo
trie motors, doing away with all the
gears then in use in steam propul-

structed and fastened it to the arma-
ture shaft OF his small motor To
his surprise the experiment resulted
IN fine breeze of cooling air which
more than delighted the experiment

Is needless to add that the expert
ments with screw-propellers ended
right there and the engineer took up
the study OF the electric fan with the
result that he soon perfected the de-
vice until it was commercial sue
cess.
At that time all the fans were run
BY batteries Later they were con.
nected with the series arc lighting
circuits, but this was found 10 be as
dangerous as 1t was unsatisfactory
Little advance was made until 1888
when a successful attempt was made

descent lighting circuits, each fan to

current was too expensive for this
ventilating device but as soon as
central station current was available
the fan became popular at once, and
about 1890 the manufacture of electric
fans began in earnest. a couple Of
years later the ceiling fan was in
troduced, and since that time the pro-
duetion of desk. bracket, ceiling, and
oscillating fans has grown by leaps

HOUSE ADMINISTERS A REeukE
TO THE PRESIDENT.
SAYS MESSAGE IS UNWORTHY
Men Mentioned In White House Com.
munications Take Turn In Be-
rating Executive, But Careful
In Speech.

After having made him the target
all day for criticism, with here and
there words of commentator, the
house of representatives Friday, by a
| vote of 212 to 35, rebuked the presi-
dent by tabling so much of his mes
sage as reflected on members of ON
gress In connection with his recon-
m%endations regarding the secret serv-
ice detectives, and also declaring 1t
to be the sense of the house that they
shall decline to consider any communi-
cations from any ource which Is not
In its own judgment respectful.
With feeling of outraged dignity and
pride on the part of the many of its
members, the house Friday gave itself
up entirely to a discussion of one of
the most momentous questions that
ever came before tits functions as
a legislative body-in co~ntradistinc.
ton to those of the executive branch
OF the government.
AS has been ~forecasted, the report
Of the special committee appointed to
deal with the language in the presi.
dents annual message and his special
message of last Monday bearing on the
secret service affecting members of
congress vas submitted and is used
as the basis for ONE of the most
earnest and vigorous speeches ever
heard in the historic chamber. The
house was in no mood to treat the
subject otherwise than seriously, al.
though in the remarks which were
made the references to the president
almost invariably were couched in par.
liamentary language. Nor was the
president without his supporters.
In anticipation of the report, the
effect of which was to administer a
rebuke to the president, there was one
OF the largest attendances of members
OF this session, while the galleries at
all times were filled to their capacity.
To accommodate the crowd the doors
opening into the corridors were
thrown open and these were choked
with persons, while standing in line
behind them were hundreds of others.
There was not a moment during
the day that the gallery was not fully
occupied, many of the foreign repre-.
~sentatives being compelled to sit on
the steps OF the aisles. This was also
true OF the presidents gallery, al.
though no members of his immediate
family were present. Neither was his
son-in-law, Representative Longworth
or Ohio. In his seat during any part
OF the day. So great was the interest
In the proceedings that many senators
came over to the house and sat for
several Hours.
Toward the close of the debate, Mr..
Gardner tMass.) e%ndeavored to secure
the adoption of a substitute for the
resolution in the shape of an amend
ment expressing confidence in the
committee on appropriations and then
the postponement of the whole matter
till Monday, but he was overwhelming
ly outvoted.
Mr.. Bennett Of New York opposed
the adoption of the Perkins resolution
and declared that II the house should
accept it It's action would have no
more influence on the character which
history would give to President Roose.
