The gamblers have a maxim on which
they base their calculations for their
daily bread that a sucker is born ev
ery minute a sucker in their par
lance being a gullible person who de
spite repeated warnings stands ready to
give up his money to the first sharper
he meets In fact the sharper does not
always have to go to much pains to
get the suckers money as he is ready
to deliver it on the first plausible op
portunity Of course a sucker being
born every minute it is always harvest
season for the sharpers but we do not
remember of reading an account of so
big a haul as that recently made by the
E S Dean Company of New York a
bucket shop concern that has just con
veniently failed leaving a host of pa
trons to mourn their losses The head
and front of this corcern the match
less contriver of this colossal fraud is
said to be a woman and if this is true
she most assuredly hath the voice par
excellence in roping in victims Oth
er schemes are but mere patches to
hers Through plausibly worded ad
vertisements pointing out how easy it
is to get rich she attracted patronage
from half the States and V en ready
snaped the spring of the trap and got
away with a million and a half of
money The only ambiguity about her
advertisements was that they did not
explain wLich party was to ret rich
She knew all the time Th3se tricks
are played every year but no one ever
seems to profit by tbir exposure A
dozen years ago the great fund W
scheme in Chicago was brought to
grief but nobody knows how many
fund schemes on the other letters of the
alphabet had brought fortunes to the
projectors This was to be their final
coup and it failed but nobody suffer
ed much except the victims Truly
the gamblers are right for the crop of
suckers seems inexhaustible A fe v
weeks ago Mr Hill of the Chicago
Board of Trade exposed the modes of
bucket shop keepers but they might be
exposed every day in the week and
there would still be an abundance of
flies to walk into the bucKet shop par
lor The web is too beautiful and too
attractive to be resisted And the
game looks so easy A man can sit
down pencil in hand with the reports
and statistics of the wheat or stock
market before him and figure up a for
tune in less than n time Let him try
it in actual practice and his money van
ishes as if it were fairy money For
while it is the maxim of the gambler
that a sucker is born every minute it
is the maxim of the bucket shop man
that the suckers money when paid is
his and under no circumstances to be
paid out except as bait lhis is the
reason why the bucket shop man or
woman can fail and yet grow rich
GODS PUNISHMENT
At Last the Little White Box Became
Ki I rison
The tailors wife took her little boy
out for a walk the day after they moved
next door to the undertakers The little
fellow stopped just outside the wide
windows and pointed his chubby fore
finger ait the white coffin within
Whats that mother he asked He
had never seen a coffin
Thats what they put little boys in
when theyre naughty said the moth
er Thats the way God punishes
Every day after that the brown eyed
boy stood for many minutes and looked
at the tiny coffins behind the heavy
glass He grew very obedient too but
the mother had become so accustomed
to fault finding that she never noticed
how well -he minded but continued to
scold just the same With every re
proof his beautiful brown eyes would
grow dark witih a mist of tears and he
would ask half fearfully
Wall you put me in the white box for
that mother Will God punish me
now
Months passed One day the restless
feet went astray again and the moth
er in the moment of ber extreme vexa
tion punished him more severely than
usual
Dont put me in that white box
mother he pleaded over and over
again between his sobs
So saying he fell asleep When he
awoke the fever was on him and the
pattering feet wandered away no more
Another week passed Then the brown
eyes looked up into bers the pale lips
quivered and lie said feebly
Have you gotthenvhite box mother
Has God punished me yet
Two days later the carriages came
and bore him away in state Gods pun
ishment had come Chicago Tribune

DEPRESSIONTON THE FARM
J
There are quite a number of people
who having passea all their lives in a
city are disposed to regard the farm
er as the luckiest of all individuals
and the one who is always assured of
a comfortable living
The usual idea of the farmer by those
who have had no experience in farm
ing is that he is sure of his sustenance
from what the ground yields him and
that the surplus products mean so
much clear cash in his pocket But the
working of the farm necessitates help
which while the pay is not large eats
considerably into the receipts Then to
keep up the production of the land fer
tilizers have to be utilized and large
sums are expended yearly for agricul
tural machinery
After the ground is planted and
even up to the time the crop is plucked
the farmer is constantly facing the pos
sibility of having the entire seasons
labor swept away Too much wet
weather means the ruin of crops a
drought means that they will be burned
up by a blistering sun while sudden
storm may sweep away in an instant
property which he has been years in ac
quiring or the produce which is ready
for the market
The past few years have been decid
edly unfortunate for the farmers in
every section The price of produce has
been small and the demand light be
cause the masses have had no money
In many instances crops did not pay
for their cultivation and within a few
miles of some of the big cities potatoes
and many other lines of farm produce
have been allowed to rot in the ground
because the price would not repay for
the labor of marketing
No matter how disastrous the season
taxes pile up upon the farmer and as
a climax to the period of depression the
laAV steps in and dispossesses him Not
until the volume of money is largely in
creased and comes in a medium which
will be placed in circulation instead of
being hoarded away will there be any
real and practical relief for tlie iariner
The Tariff and the Trusts
The account in the San Francisco
Examiner of the manner in which the
different trusts have been allowed to
write their own schedules of the Ding
ley tariff sufficiently explains why the
sponsors of that measure did not wel
come a proviso that articles controlled
by trusts should be placed on the fre
list It would have been rather queer
if they had been willing to punish the
men that made their bill
This easy method of framing a tariff
bill by farming out the work to the
various interests that expect to profit
by it is nothing new in Republican tar
iff legislation Precisely the same
course was followed in the preparation
of the original McKinley law The
trusts and capitalists to whom the par
ty managers felt under obligations
wrote the schedules that affected their
respective interests and in many cases
these schedules were adopted word for
word The people who were to pay
the taxes had nothing to say until the
following November when they spoke
with considerable emphasis It ap
pears evident however that the im
pression made by their remarks at that
time has faded out and that they will
have to speak again at the next oppor
tunity
Canadian Resentment
The story coming from Montreal that
the new Canadian tariff will be pro
British and anti American and that the
Liberals will pursue a policy the very
reverse of that they have been advo
cating these many years is not entitled
to much regard It bears marks of Ca
nadian toryism and American protec
tionism
It is certain however that the rep
resentatives of the Liberal Govern
ment who were recently in Washing
ton did not return home in an amiable
mood They were treated in a manner
which they might have expected but
which in their commercial good will it
seems they did not expect They were
treated with downright incivility and
contempt and given to understand that
while the party in power professed to
favor reciprocity in the abstract or
with certain countries it had no thought
of anything but strangulation for trade
with Canada
Very likely protectionst hostility
which was so ostentatiously mani
fested in Washington will have its ef
fect upon the tariff policy of the Lib
erals
Rebuke to Tariff Boomers
If the Republican party is correct in
its claim that the election of McKinley
indicated a great popular demand for
more tariff the elections this spring do
not indicate it Why if the Dingley
tariff rates were just what the people
wanted wouldnt the elections this
spring have been the most enthusiastic
kind of jubilation meetings over the
jamming of the bill through the House
If more tariff were all that is necessary
for prosperity the jamming of the Ding
ley bill ought to bring the dawn in
sight Utica Observer
The Rush for Office
That the rush for office under the
new administration is tremendous is
well known But that it assumes the
proportion of a torrent is something
which the great majority have not yet
considered Some idea of the tremen
dous pressure can be gleaned from the
statement that since the inauguration
th Pnstnfnce Department baa reAlfcd
95000 letters relating to appointments
If this immense number of letters is
poured into one department the entire
torrent of applications to all the depart
ments must be something appalling
But there is one pleasant thought to be
gleaned from this craze for office If
all the letters are properly stamped the
applications ought to net a snug sum to
Uncle Sams receipts and thus contrib
ute something toward paying the vast
army of those who hold public place
Philadelphia Item
Patent Reversible Protective Tariff
The protective tariff is marvelously
adapted to meet the wants of all emer
genciesaccording to the claims of its
various advocates It lessens the cost
of the thing you have to buy and in
creases its price when you have the
same thing to sell It shuts out foreign
importations yet increases the reven
ues collected on such importations The
foreigner pays the tax on goods im
ported to this country but it is an out
rage on the poorer classes in Germany
and France for those countries to in
crease the cost of meat by tariff taxing
cheap American hog and cattle prod
ucts in the interest of German farm

Ever since the McKinley idea came
in the annual appropriations have been
larger than ever This is the real source
of the woes under which the country is
suffering It cannot be cured by piling
up taxes by taking more money out of

good what has already been taken out

relief is the reduction of expenditures

Pith of Opinions
The retroactive clause in the Ding
ley tariff act has had its answer in the
retroactive vote from the big cities in
the different States says the Dover
Index
With reference to the retroactive
clause of the Dingley bill the Boston
Post says The House of Representa
tives has in effect set up a Government
lottery in every custom house and in
vites merchants to risk their money on
the chances of one rate of duty or an
other turning up on the final drawing
In the view of the Baltimore Sun
the great danger is that the Dingley
bill will be so loaded down with pro
visions that are practically prohibitive
that it will reduce revenue instead of
increasing it while it will impose ad
ditional burdens upon the masses of
the people
The protectionist newspapers are
busily engaged in explaining the causes
of political reaction as evidenced by
the results of the recent municipal

THE CEDARS OF LEBANON
Several Groups of the Famous Trees
Arc Still Standing
In St Nicholas there is an article en
titled Silk and Cedars by Harry
Fenn the artist describing a visit to
the mountains of Lebanon He says
Every girl and boy of the Christian
world has heard and read over and
over again of the Cedars of Leban
on but very few have any Idea of the
locality and surroundings of the fa
mous grove It is a popular error by
the way to suppose that there are no
other cedars remaining besides this
group at the head of the Wady val
ley or canyon Kadisha There are to
my knowledge ten other groves some
numbering thousands of trees This
particular group that we are about to
visit is called by the Arabs by a name
which means Cedars of the Lord
They number about four hundred trees
among them a circle of gigantic fellows
that are called by the natives The
Twelve Apostles upon the strength
of an old tradition that Jesus and his
disciples having come to this spot and
left their staves standing in the ground
these staves sprouted into cedar groves
There is every reason to suppose that
in the time of King Solomon these
scattered groves were part of an enor
mous unbroken forest extending the
entire length of the Lebanon range of
mountains about one hundred miles
running nearly parallel with the Med
iterranean shore from a little below
Beirut The summits of the range are
from fifteen to twenty miles from the
coast
The Lebanon that is the White
does not derive its name from glitter
ing snowpeaks but from the white
limestone cliffs of its summits The
first historical mention of the trees is
in the Bible 2 Sam v 11 And Hiram
King of Tyre sent messengers to Da
vid and cedar trees and carpenters
and masons and they built David an
house
From that day to this the people have
been almost as reckless and wasteful
of these noble giants of the mountains
as our own people are of these cedars
first cousins the redwood trees of the
California coast range As we approach
the grove which stands upon the top
of a small hill the foliage is almost
black against the snow covered crags
of Dahrel Kadib which rears its high
est peak over ten thousand feet above
the sea
There is a Maronite chapel in the
grove its patriarch claiming the sole
right to the sacred trees and luckily
the superstition with which the trees
have been surrounded has been their
salvation -All the cedars of Lebanon
would have been demolished for red
wood years ago were not the people
threatened with dire calamity should
they take a single stick
Industrial Progress in Russia
The recent industrial growth of Rus
sia has been one of the marvels of the
present decade In addition to her ex
tensive sulphuric acid industry Russia
is opening up important manufactures
of chromate salts vitriol phosphates
lead zinc tin strontium and copper
salts and mineral dyes and platinum
is almost a Russian monopoly In med
icinal plant growing the progress in
Russia is very great Six castor oil
factories all working from native
grown seed were represented at the
exhibition and oils of peppermint
wormwood caraway fennel anise and
pine needles were also shown The
output of Russian benzine has grown
from 31500 gallons in 18S2 to nearly
1570000 gallons in 1S9 1 The petro
leum industiy is the second largest in
the world One firm alone owns 1SS
miles of petroleum pipe lines It has
an enormous fleet and owns 1157 tank
wagons for the conveyance of its prod
ucts by rail The industry of the dry
distillation of wood in Russia is only
just beginning In northern Russia
away from the railways there are still
many thonsands of square miles under
wood yet up to the present only one
half per cent of all the resin but a
slightly larger proportion of the tur
pentine used in Russia has been of
home manufacture It has generally
been assumed that the Russian fir
could not be made to yield turpentine
and resin of equal quality or abund
ance to the French or American pines
but experiments show that Russian
turpentine if collected by the French
process does not differ materially from
the French except that it is dextro
gyre to the same degree that the
French is laevogyre Moreover a bal
sam was obtained from one variety
that will advantageously replace Can
ada balsam for technical and micro
scopic purposes The day of the chem
ical exploitation of the Russian forests
is therefore dawning and within a few
years the country o the Czar may ex
port instead of buy from abroad acetic
acid wood naphtha acetone wood
vinegar and acetate of lime The im
portance of the Russian licorice juice
