AND THE TARIFF

Taking up the tariff expressions

to Justify them in their contentious

1SS0-A tariff for revenue only.
1SS4-But in making reduction
III taxes it is not proposed TO in
iure any domestic Industries, but
rather to promote their healthy
growth We therefore denounce
the abuse Of the existing tariff,
and, subject to the preceding limi-
talon, we demand that federal taxa

purposes and shall not exceed the
needs Of the government economic

house Of representative fthe Mills

1692-We dnnounce republican
protection as fraud and robbery

PENGUIN OIL INDUSTRY.
OntpH Comes From Worlds Most
Southerly FACTORY

United States Consul Henry d.
Baker, reporting from Hobart, Tas-
mania, gives an interesting account
of the production of penguin oil
He says
What is probably the most
southerly industry of the world is
being carried on at Masquarie Is
land. about half way between Tas
mania and the Antarctic continent,
in the capture OF penguins for their
oil. Macquario Island belongs to
the state OF Tasmania, and has an
area of abou, $4,000 acres, being
about twenty-five miles long and
five miles wide The island is
leased by the Tasmania government
20 Joseph Hatch. who has establish
ed penguin Oil industry there.
Recently meeting Mr. Hatch, OBJ
tanned the following particulars
from him
There are probably $4,000, 900
pensutns on The island, so that the
stock To be drawn from seems al
most limitless. There are also a
large number of sea elephants about
the shores of this island The oil
is obtained from the penguins by
boiling the =cdreasSc6 in digestcrS
capable Of dealing with 500 birds
at time. The tops Of the digest
crs are fastened down aud steam
applied until about twenty-five
pounds pressure is obtained The
steam Is then turned off and water
pumped into the bottoms OF the di-
gesters, this causing the oil to rise.
when II is taken off the top by
tap.
The oil is placed in barrels and
sold to binder Irvine makers in Aus
tralia and New Zealand. There is
d good market for all the oil that
is produced here, but the industry
has met with several losses through
wreck of ships attempting to visit
the island. There is no harbor
about the island, SO that vessels
have to lie about half a mile off
the rocky coast. aud all material
has to be conveyed 10 aud from
he shore on RATS formed of casks
Owing TO the roughness of the open
roadstead, it is impossible TO OBJ
tain insurance for vessels trading
there.
"Macquarie Island is about $50
miles southeast OF Hobart. The is
land is barren, being covered only
with tussocky grass. Whaling ships
visiting there have introduced rab-
bits and Maori hens. which are now
quite prolific The Mawson Ant
arctic expedition from Australia has
established a wireless station there,
and daily messages are now being
received at Hobart, 1t was the in
tention OF this expedition to use
Macqnarie Island as means Of
sending messages all the way from
their base at Adele Land to Hobart
but unfortunately the wireless sta,
ton established at Adele Land has
been unable to communicate With
Macquarie Island. owning. it Is sup,
posed, to being too near the msgnc-.
tic disturbances caused by the PROV

The station at Macquarie Island,
however. has already proved Of con-
siderable value to shipping in Aus
