A LUMP OF TIN.
Neither Congressman Bryan of
Nebraska nor any other democratic
congressman can intuse lite into
the dead body of tariff reform so-
called, but meaning free trade.
There is an answer to speculative
argument that admits of no gain
saying, and that answer has been
made sufficiently public. It is the
lump of tin.
After several gentlemen in con-
gress naa proven Dy a course oi
most ingenious reasoning that
metallic tin could not be produced
in the United States, a gentleman
from California, Bowers by name
walked up to the speaker's desk and
id upon it a shining block, fifty
pounds in weight, and remarked
that it was tin, and that it was
from the Temescal mines. He said
no more than this. The lump of tin
did the rest of the talking.
So after Mr. Bryan has eloquently
demonstrated that the tariff in
creases the price to the consumer,
Mrs. John Smith, wife of Consumer
John Smith, informs her husband
that the new carpet, purchased by
her yesterda3. is of American make,
and that it is of better quality and
of lower price than any other that
she has bought during her quarter
century of wedded life. And then
Consumer John remembers that the
suit of clothes purchased last week
cost him less than a suit that he
bought three years ago, and not
more than one he bought last year, j
He reads Mr. Bryan's eloquent and
logical speech but he has seen the
lump of tin.
In like manner, after Mr. Bryan
has demonstrated his "mastery of
the subject" most conclusively and
has proven, by an unanswerable ar
ray ot English testimony, that the
United States can not expect to sell
its products to foreign countries so
long as it buys manufactui ed goods
from Americans rather than from
Europeans, the secretary of the
treasury produces his report of an
unusually large export trade. This
is placing the lump of tin where
it belongs.
And so it goes. Some Mr. Bryan
proves that tin plate cau not -be
made in the United States, and the
United States factories make 800
tons of it during the first seven
months of increased protection. A
Mr. Bryan proves that we can not
make pearl buttons, and instantly
about twenty pearl button factories
spring up and give employment to
5,000 American people. A Mr. Bryan
prove that there must be "higher
prices on account of the tariff" and
forthwith every housewife in Amer
ica assures him that $10 will buy
more dry g ( in l'J than $11
would buy in ltf'JO. And, in short,
no matter what the democratic
Bryans eloqueirt ly say, some cruel
messenger of fact marches up to
ihe speaker's desk and lays the
lump of tin in full sightof the audi
ence. Inter Oceon.
AN ANCIENT ID0U
The new tariff was not made
without the fullest consultation
with every important agricultural
society in America. The farmers
had been having pretty ha-d times.
They knew just what the matter
was. Their associations, composed
of some of the abl st men in the
United Slates, were unanimous in
their statement as well of the cause
as the remedy. They did not com
plain of the price of what they had
to buy, for thai, in all cases, was
lower than ever before. The price
of what they had to seli was what
worried them. Agricultural values
had been decreasing rapidly for
many years and as rapidly agri
cultural imports into the country
to compele wiih domestic products
in our markets had been increasing.
The farmers asked no more than
that the inhux of these foreign
gooMs should be restrained by a
fair tariff. Investigation showed
that there had been an increase of
the importations of foreign
products 'ram $40,000000 in 1850 to
$256,000,000 in 1889. "We do not
necessarily pay too much for what
we buy," said the farmers, "but we
get too little for what we sell, and
the reason of this is that the low
tariff admits of this enormous importation."
The ticket put up by the repub
Iicans Saturday . night should be
elected by a handsome majority
as it is composed of all oung men
who are in favor of public improve
ments in the right direction.

For eale by F. G. Fricke & Cc
luol was
ence
from a mound by relic hunters along
with a number of decayed human
bones, copper arrow he?uls aud broken
domestic utensils. It is the property
of G. VV. Hume, of Strasburr, Mo.
The idol is seven inches in height by
five inches in diameter. It is rudely
constructed, having evidently Wen
formed by hand, or at best very crude
tools, from common clay, and after
ward hardened by being dried in the
Bun.
The idol represents a human figure
in a kneeling posture, the arms ex
tending at the side. The features are
rudely formed, yet, notwithstanding
this, are not altogether repulsive, the
nose being gracefully aquiline and the
lips well formed. The ears are miss
ing, but the remnant show that they
were adorned with r, ts. The body
is "squatty," and migl be said to re
semble a toad. At the op of the head
there is a hole which seems to have
served a purpose, probably that of fast
ening a headdress to the ligure. The
image would hardly be catalogued with
the works of art, but it is nevertheless
an interesting relic.
The race whoso diety was represent
ed by this clumsy bit of clay inhabited
he Mississippi Valley from the great
lakes to the gulf at a time to which the
ti editions of man runneth not. Who
they were, where they came from,
what their manner of life was is all a
mystery. True, many mounds, exca
vations and burying grounds of this
lost people have been discovered, but
so far they have given but little of
their history. That they lived and
iied before the race of American In
dians existed is proved by the fact that
T.he traditions of the latter race con
tain no reference to this lost people,
although their mounds and relics are
mentioned. Many mounds of this kind
are found in Missouri, Illinois, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana,
and a few have been discovered in
nearly U of the iatesof the Mississip
pi Valley.

Two well - dressed women stood
among the throng at the ribbon count
er in one of the large dry goods stores
in Sixth avenue, a few days ago, says
the N. i. irioMwc.and having at length
obtained the services of a clerk one of
them said: "I want to buy some nar
row ribbon for favors, but I must have
the colors of the German flag, and,
strangely enough, neither my friend
nor I can recall them. Do you remem
ber what they are?"
"I do not," said the girl politely, im
pressed apparently by the internation
al character of her customers, "but
the other young lady at this counter
may know." "The other young lady"
said she thought the colors were black
and yellow.
"I am sure that isn't right," re
marked an old customer who was sit
ting on the third stool down the count
er. "Possibly the floor walker would
know," suggested the clerk. "Ca-a-sh!
Ask Mr. Fitzhugh to come here."
That functionary having arrived the
matter was duly referred to him.
"There are three colors," he declared;
"black, red and yellow."
"Are you sure?" asked the two shop
pers earnestly. "We cannot make a
mistake."
"I am almost sure that is wrong,"
interposed a young woman near dj
who had overheard the controversy;
"my husband is a German, and I nevet
heard of yellow in the German flag."
"It might be buff," conceded the
floor walker.
"I used to teach school in Indiana,"
remarked a tall woman with a catskin
muff, "and I can settle this question
The colors in the German flag are red,
white and yellow."
This seemed authoritative.but some
how the various contestants didn't ap
pear satisfied. 1
"lhere s bchwartz, the floor walker
in the cotton department," suggested
the stately Fitzhugh, "he's a German
himself; he'll know: Cash, go and ask
Mr. Schwartz to write the colors in the
German flag on this card."
The Indiana school teacher did not
look pleased, but the matter having
gone to the Court of Appeals she
rested her ease, and the cash girl was
back in a minute with the card. On it
were written the words, "black, red
and white."
That settles it. Thank von so
much," said the two feminine shoppers
gratefully, looking apprehensively at
the listening throng. ;
"How much is the narrow ribbon,
please?"
"Twenty-two ceuts a piece of ten
yards lua'am," answered the girl, ex
pectantly. " .: '
Vell, we need only a little; give me
yard of each color. How much wili
that be?"
Seven cents," murmured the clerk.

lhe "other young lady" and the In

elerk's face as she drawled: "Shall !
