a braham Lincoln is credited Wit

a Abraham Lincoln is credited with
having said once in campaign
speech / don't know so very much
about the tariff, but I know this: IF
we spend a million dollars Tor goods
manufactured in some other country
than our own, we have the goods and
Ghey have the money; but if the mil
lion dollars is spent for goods manu-
featured In our own country then we
nave the goods and the money too.
1t was plain and homely truth,
which was illustrating the value of
protective tariff to build up our
own manufacturing industries and
markets, and it is as true today as it
was then The quotation is brought
60 mind by the announcement that
the late Montgomery Ward. head of
the great mail order house in Chicago,
who recently died, leaves an estate of
six million dollars to his family.
Most OF that money went in small
sums from farmers and other working
people in the western states Some
of it went from Lancaster and Grant
county. Perhaps the purchasers Jared
we'll in their deals, although it is
likely they could have dune about as
we'll at home. But the punt is this.
The six million dollars represents the
profit from his business from many
thousands of purchasers If the deals
bad been made with the home merch-
ants Of the west those So. 600, 600 of
profit would have remained in the
west doing business among the people
who sent it away.

POISONS GET In FOOD
RESTAURANT KEEPERS SOME
TIMES GIVEN SCARES.
BIunders Which Prove Costly to Pro-
ducers of EatabIes and Serious
to Customers, Sometimes Re-
suIting in Death.

If the proprietor of a restaurant
ever has a nightmare, it is to the effect
that some poisonous ingredient has
accidentally found it's way into dish
and that the papers are full of blood
curdling accounts of the sufferings and
death of his clients.
About five years ago nearly a score
of people were badly poisoned after
dining in the restaurant of well
known West Central hotel in London,
and although the source Of the poison
was never accurately traced-aH that
was discovered being that it was some
form of ptomaine poisoning-yet to
this day that restaurant has hardly
recovered it's former popularity.
More recently blunder was made
in a London fried fish shop. Engine
oil was, in some extraordinary fash
ion, substituted for the cottonseed
oil which is commonly used for frying
fish. This mistake proved absolutely
fatal to the business, and after time
the proprietor was forced to close his
doors.
Oddly enough, a very similar incl
dent has just come to light in another
large town. On the morning Of March
Z last baker made the alarming dis
covery that the vegetable oil which he
had used in making his fancy bread
and pastry overnight had been deliv-
cred to him in a barrel which had
been previously used for storing kero-
sene.
The moment he heard Of the blum
der he rushed off and engaged the
services of six doctors and dozen
carts. The carts were sent round the
town to retrieve the bad bake, while
the doctors gave their services free
to any customers who had already
partaken of the poisoned food.
Most readers will remember the
arsenic-in- beer epidemic of 1902. This
was the most extensive poisoning on
record in England. 1t was four months
before the authorities realized what
the matter was, and by that time
there were over a thousand cases in
five counties, and 81 deaths had taken
place.
The source of all the trouble was a
minute quantity of arsenic in the beer
supplied by a Manchester brewer. It
was no fault of the firm, for analysis
of the liquor showed that the arsenic
originally came from glucose which
had been made with impure sulphuric
acid. 1t was the acid which contained
the arsenic.
In the year following the great
arsenic poisoning came the oyster
scare. There were outbreaks of ty-
phoid fever at Winchester and at
Portsmouth The fever was traced to
oysters, and the result was that for
some time oysters were almost I'M
salable. One big oyster firm which
had been paying $3.50 week in wages
dropped to SIS week, and it is reck-
oned that the oyster merchants
throughout the country must have lest
at least $500,0Q0.

GROWTH OF DRUG HABIT.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 31.-Com-
menting on the accumulation of evil
dence that the drug habit is grow
ing at an appalling rate in this coun-
try, the Duluth Herald says editor
tally:
1T is claimed that this country
uses more opium than China, and
that it has become the chief market
of the world for this deadly drug.
Drugs kill more people than
whiskey, and kill them in a more
dreadful way. They XII the soul
long before they kill the body. They
kill the conscience and turn human
beings into fiends. They corrode
moral faculties, and kill lingeringly,
terribly.
Half the enthusiasm and zeal put
into the prob: bition movement would
slay the drug evil.
"Yet there is much enthusiasm and
zeal for the prohibition movement
and very little interest in the drug
menace.

THE WRONG AND THE RIGHT
IRISH VOLUNTEERS,

"Castlereagh," the commanding
officer of the North Belfast regiment,
U. v. F., (Ulster Volunteer Force)
sounds the note of praise for that
body, writing in the current British
Review. But Alice Stopford Green
is given the privilege of her sex to
say the last woodland that is a
hearty one-for the Irish National
Volunteers. She declares:
The sound most familiar now on
the soil of Ireland is the tramp of
marching men," In every village men
are gathering, every countryside
sends it's contingents. demanding
that they too shall form part of the
National Defense of Ireland. In
centres of population, as in Kildare
the other day, 1000 or 5000 people
sing with deep emotion, softly and
gravely like choir, and four or five
times over "a Nation Once Again.
and from the field 1900 men march
back in military order, we'll built,
well drilled, commanding the admir-
alton of a trained English officer
who viewed the scene.
Mrs. Green has a scathing word
for Sir Edward Carson, once the
"head of law and order" in Ireland
and the prosecutor of some 5000
Roman Catholic Irishmen-who now
combines with state officials to defy
and break the law when his excuse
is the benefit of his Protestant eli
ents." In contrast with such tactics,
she points to the National forces ZEN
listed on the side of order, of law. of
national brotherhood and of peace"
