The Cause OF High Food.

Tie Charleston Mail and the Cleve-
land Leader furnishes the following
on mooted subject worthy of re-
nectIon:
There has been much said abont
the. cost of high food prices. There
have been Investigating committees
who, have. returned solemn verdtcts
that pr1css& were high because hey
were high, or in words of practically
that import. In some cases, local
combines have held up prices beyond
what was reasonable. of which there
has been a number of examples.
For instance, the Nail is Informed
on what seems to be reliable author
ity that lard is now selling at 10
cents Wholesale. while the retail
price, in some instances. is at least
4 8 cents. But, taken as a whole,
there is greater reason why prices of
foodstuffs should be high. The rea-
son is fewer people than ever are
producing foodstuffs and more than
ever are eating it,, AS the Cleveland
Leader points out:
I'm spite Of all protests, all the in
vestigations, all the meat and egg
high. Gradually the chief cause IS
boycotts, the prices of food continue
becoming more apparent. The re-
ports of the census just taken may
make it plain to everybody. The
census returns thus far published in
dictate that four people OF ten are IN
the cities. eating food but not pro-
ducing 1t. OF the other six. fully
half, If the proportion shown by the
census OF 1900 has not changed, are
in occupations other than agrIcul-
ture and stock raising. If the COM
pIete returns verify the present esti-
mate, they will show that only
three people out of every ten are
providing food for the country. One
hundred years ago, nine people out
OF ten were on farms. Fifty years
ago there were FIVE out of ten. Ma
turally, the fewer the producers, the
less the output. Agricultural ma-I
chinery and cheap transportation
have greatly checked the advance in
prices. On the other hand, much adj
ditional cost has been added to foods
in their preparation for the con-
sumner after leaving the hands of the
producer.
What have the many small col
leges scattered over the country in

voters who are now considering
the issues OF the national campaign
should not be led astray by deceptive
tactics that are being engaged in by
the Democrats.
Free trade and other well known
policies of the Democrats are being
sEdestepped by them In their cam
paign arguments and they are trying
to deceive the people with assertions
that atvote for the Democratic ticket
would mean the adoption OF a modI-
fed protective tariff bin by the DEM
ocrats and the revision of the two
or three single schedules over which
they and the muck-rakers have been
trying to manufacture Democratic
campaign thunder for some time.
Thus would they p1acate protection
lists, but their motives are purely sell
fish and they are only trying to take
advantage OF discussions among
some of the Republicans in the hope
of gaining votes.
If the Democrats hould gain ma
iorIty in Congress and pass a bill re-
vising the tariff, there would be no
more left OF the protective theory
when they got through, than a far
mer's bank roll after the gold brick
men Reeced him.
OF course, nothing of the kind is
likely to happen, but just suppose
the Democrats should be put in con-
troll of Congress. What would be
the Immediate result as a matter
of fact? The Democrats wouti
promptly put stop to nearly all Re-
publican measures OF a constructive
nature and then formulate and pass
bills to carry out Democratic policies
pure and simple. Then what could
be actually accomplished? AS Pres
ident Taft pointed out in his letter
to William B. Mckinley, chairman OF
the Republican National Congress
sional Committee, business would be
halted by a threatened revision OF
the whole tariff. Republican ma
iority in the Senate or a Republican
executive would probably interpose
a veto upon Democratic plans, prac-
tically nothing would be nccom-
plished and chaotic condition of al
fairs would result.
The Democrats offer the voter alb
soluteIy nothing except the grave
probability of disastrous panic. de-
spite their receptions and their fuI-
some promises. All the rot they ar@
dishing up about revising the tariK
to suit prOtectionists is but a delu.
sion and a snare. The voter would
do well to consider this phase OF the
situation carefully before taking up
with any of the deceptive arguments
that are being handed out from
Democratic headquarters.

 Several Varieties Are Valuable For
 Food Purposes. Sea weed is not lnuch to look at, but seaweed does not depend so much upon beauty as upon more substantial merit to make itself worthy of attention. Various species of 1t are used in manu- factures, and several varieties are eCf. ble, the most important of the latter being Irish or carrageen moss, used In the preparation of jellies-blancmange for instance-dulse or dilIesk, very highly thought of by Scotland, partic. ularly when roasted by wrapping about hot tOngs, and kelp or tangle.
 Irish moss and some other species. particularly eel grass and fiat stalk rock weed, have been found valuable as cattle food. especially when boiled to destroy the rank taste and mixed with meal. The eel grass and rock weed compare favorably with hay as regards the most important constituent-pro- tein-containing eos and 8.21 per cent respectively. They are deficient in fat, but contain q large amount of ash.
 The great bulk of the seaweed gath cred, however, is used as fertilizer, and the average seaweed contains large quantities of all the essential fer tilizing clements. Allowing 10 cents a pound for nitrogen. cents a pound for phosphoric acid and 4 cents a pound for potash-and these are as low prices as it is possible to procure fhOCa materials i'm any fOrm-a foO 0f seaweed containing 30 per cent water is worth as a fertilizer $1.42 a ton.- New York Times.

An Ancient Mountain Race.

The most ancient people still living in the mountains of India are the TOdas. Long before the arrival of the other tribes of the region the Todas were the kings of this country, which they held in common without strife or treachery to one another. The Todas are fine race, tall, well proportioned and with regular features. Their com plexion is of a light brown, and their eyes are bright and intelligent. The men wear . linen or cotton garment that reminds a European of the Roman toga. Their bearing is proud and dig nified; their -countenances are pleasing; their fine straight hair is regularly cut and we'll kept. Their superior appear ance, the mystery that surrounds them and the obscurity of their origin have caused certain students of ethnOlogy to suppose that the Todas are descend ed from the soldiers of Darius or Alex ander. the ancient conqGerors of India.

 "Yes can."
 oaopps night he tied up to the ceils ing of a room bag containing peas mixed with diamonds and let in two men. one of whom believed .in-~luck And the other in human effort alone. The one who believed in luck quietly laid himself down on the ground on his blanket: the other after a time found the bag and. feeling in the dark the peas and stones. ate the peas and threw the diamonds to his companion. saving "IheFssares the stones foF. your likeness"
 The man below received them in his blanket.
 Tn the morning the King and the minister came and told each man to keep what he had found. The man who believed in trying got the peas which he had eaten: the other got the diamonds.
 The minister then said. Sire. there may. you see. be luck. but 1t is as rare as peas mixed with diamonds, so let none hope to live by luck."-An East eFn Fable
