THE PROSPERITY FRAUD
The monopoly organs arc having
much to say these days about the i4ie
nomenal exports and favorable bal
ance of trade during the last fiscal
year The facts they present are inter
esting and in a manner instructive but
what good reason the shouters for Mc
Tvinleyism have for parading them
with so much boasting is one of the
things that no fellow can find out
The value of domestic merchandise ex
ported was 1032007G03 The near
est approach to this was 1015732011
In 1S92 The excess of merchandise ex
ports over merchandise imports was
2S020i144 The nearest approach to
this was 2G4U1GJG in 1879 and the
excess of exports was never greater
than 200000000 but live times before
last year with the exception of only
three years the imports exceeded the
exports from 1S44 until after the panic
of 1S73 Our exports of agricultural
fiscal year were GS9
755193 or GGS4 per cent of the total
The increase as compared with 189G
was 115350929 or about 20 per cent
In 1S9G thy agricultural exports were
S054 per cent of the total Our mer
chandise imports during the last fis
cal year were valued at 704730412
against 7797G4G74 in 1S9G They
were somewhat greater than in 1894
4i nd 1S95 but decidedly less than in
1892 1893 and 1S94 when they ranged
Xrom S274024G2 to SGG400922 These
facts may be very gratifying as the
McKinley philosophers say they are
but why should they parade and crow
over them The point to which the
Chronicle would direct their attention
is that the Democratic tariff was in
force during all the last fiscal year and
during all that year the McKinleyites
were crying calamity They were
telling the people how wretched they
were and how despairing they ought to
Tie because of the ruinously low Demo
cratic tariff They were saying that
the country was plunged into a deep
gulf of adversity and that it would
never prosper agaiu until they should
hoist it up by means of a rousing high
tariff They told us that we were
deluged with foreign goods because
the wicked Democrats had reduced the
duties on them so low They told us
we could not sell enough of our own
products abroad to pay for our imports
and therefore foreigners would get all
our gold and leave us to silver and mis
ery But what do we find the facts to
lie For one thing Ave find that the ex
cess of merchandise exports over mer
chandise imports was over 22000000
greater during the last year of the
Democratic law than in any year un
der a Republican tariff and were over
37 per cent more than enough to pay
for all our imports And we find for
another thing that the average value
-of merchandise imports for three years
of the Democratic law was S75SS00000
while during the first three years of
McKinley law it was S4G200000
These facts prove conclusively that the
country was not flooded with for
eign goods under the Democratic law
so much as it was under the McKinley
-Jaw and that there was a bigger bal
ance of trade in our favor under the
Democratic law In view of what
they prove it is somewhat surprising to
find the McKinley organs making a
great parade of them It is also some
what surprising when we come to
think of their recent calamity howls tj
find them adducing these facts to prove
that the country was wonderfully pros
perous during the twelve months from
June 30 189G to Tune 30 1S97 Yet it
was not so surprising As they dated
the Democratic tariff back more than a
year to make it account for the deficit
of nearly 70000000 in 1894 under
the McKinley law they might fairly be
expected to date their own tariff back
more than a year to account for a pros
perous time which at the time they
called deep adversity and which they
now with their characteristic gall seek
to place to their own credit Some
such audacious performance seems to
he necessary to divert attention from
the deficiency under their own Dingley
law which is at a rate not much less
than 100000000 a year or more than
the deficit for all the three years of
the Democratic law Chicago Chroni

THE CRATER OF K1LAUEA
It Excites Fascination by Day and
Terror by Night
Jt is no wonder that the nature-loving
and nature fearing natives defied
the cause of this tremendous display
and that they held their fire goddess
perhaps in greater reverence than any
other Restless easily provoked and
jealous of all restraint no pathway
seemed open to gain her good will but
that of absolute submission Every
effort was made to pacify her caprici
ous and wild fancies and votive offer
ings of the most costly character even
it is said of human lives were freely
given to turn aside her wrath Until
within a few years it has been a dif
ficult matter to persuade a native to
approach the caldron Their old super
stitions have lingered down to the
present generation and the memory of
the deeds of the dread Pele are still too
fresh in the minds of most of them to
be easily set aside The crossing of
the intervening crust between the wall
of the crater and the caldron by day
light is about as serious an affair as
most people wish but more than half
of its glories and hidden dangers are
lost through the effect of that same
daylight Wait till the stars are out
and then pass carefully down to the
surface of the same loor and it be
comes a very different place It had
all the fascination of danger by day
it inspires all the terror of an approach
ing catastrophe by night You feel
your way by the lurid glare of the
lake which lies ahead of you and the
half gloom of your surroundings is
lighted up by the fitful gleam of lire
which sheds its grewsome colored tints
upon the knotted and gnarled lava
which crunches beneath your feet
Where there were dark cracks under
you in the daytime you now see that
you are crossing a pavement of blocks
each edge of which is fringed with
glowing light and as your eyes glauces
down along those lines the white hot
molten lava is plainly visible but a few
inches from the surface To say that
the perspiration rises all over you when
you first experience the full meaning
of your situation undor such condi
tions expresses your feelings only loo
mildly for ofteu the native who may
be acting as your guide trembles and
wants to turn back from this test of
his nerves None of them go out over
this crust at night with any degree of
willingness The trip should lie made
however if it can be done safely and
one can generally judge of the amount
of danger from the condition of the
caldron as Hie volcano has heretofore
been a very law abiding one At no
time can the full beauty of the spot be
apprehended so well as by night By
daylight much of the color of the bright
lava and the burning gases is lost
while by night the whole effect is most
impressive and the mind is nearly
stifled by the rush of sensations if
only the fear of immediate danger is
lost sufficiently to allow you to give
yourself wholly to the enjoyment of a
scene which in the elements of grand
eur is not to be surpassed on the face
of the globe From Kilauea the

cousin in the northern part of the State
As the instrument had been duly re
corded and the property was evidently
good for more than the amount of the
claim I assured her it was all right

sisted on She was bound that I have
that mortgage copyrighted so that her
cousin couldnt get out another like it
Yes sir copyrighted And when I
ridiculed the idea she told me that she
had suspected from the start that I
didnt know my business She would
put the matter in the hands of some one
that did and then she sailed out of my

Mites and Knots
A statute mile is 5280 feet long It
is our standard of itinerary measure
adopted from the English who in turn
adopted it from the Romans A 11 o
man military pace by which distances
were measured was the lengMi of the
step taken by the Roman soldiers and
was approximately five feet long a
thousand of these paces were called in
Latin a mile The English mile is
therefore a purely arbitrary measure
enacted into a legal measure by a stat
ute passed during the reign of Queen
Elizabeth it has no connection with
any scale in nature
A nautical mile on the other hand is
equal to one sixtieth part of the length
of a degree of a great circle of earth
But the circumference of the earth is
nowhere a true circle its radius of cur
vature is variable hence the nautical
mile as a matter of fact depends upon
the shape as well as the size of the
globe sailed over and hence strictly
speaking the length of the nautical
mile should vary with the latitude from
6046 feet at the equator to 6109 f et at
the pole Such extreme accuracy is
not necessary in navigating and can
not be well attained without undue la
bor The English admiralty therefore
have adopted O0S0 feet as the length of
a nautical mile which corresponds
with the length of one sixtieth of a de
gree or one minute of arc of a great
circle in latitude 4S degrees The Uni
ted coast survey lias adopted the value
of the nautical mile as equal to one
sixtieth part of a degree on the great
circle of a sphere whose surface is
equal to the surface of the earth This
gives the length of one nautical mile
as equal to 005027 feet which is very
nearly the value of the admiralty mile
adopted in the English navy Practi
cally the nautical mile is 800 feet longer
than the statute mile In other words
one nautical mile is equal to 11515 stat-
ute miles or one statute mile is equal
to 08G0 nautical mile Multiply nau
ticle miles by 11515 and the product
will be statute miles or multiply stat
ute miles by 0869 and the product will

MAKING SUGAR IN AFRICA
Dark Continent to Be a Great Produc
ing Country
In the distant future Africa prom
ises to be a great sugar producing coun
try A number of Englishmen have
demonstrated after several years of
difficulties that the industry can be suc
cessfully worked
The first expedition of the company
proceeded to the Zambesi late in 1S90
The river had not been opened for traf
fic the men were landed at Quilimane
and paddled up a small river to a point
called Mopea where it almost joins the
Zambesi at about a hundred miles from
the mouth Here the men settled with
Kaffir huts to live in and Kaffir food to
eat
The first work was the planting Up
to this time there was no sugar cane in
th whole of the Zambesi Delta conse
quently hundreds of tons of plants had
to be imported from the neighboring
Colony of Natal The cane plants were
brought up the river in fleets of native
canoes rude enough vessels made by
simply scooping out the trunk of a
tree but owing to the black mans
innate penchant for sweet things more
than half the plants were eaten on th
way the native children swarming like
monkeys along the banks for a bite ol
sugar cane The next task was the edu
cation of the Kaffirs a tedious busi
ness for before they could be started
on th A B C of the work they had
to be initiated in the reason for work al
all and then to be convinced of the ab
solute necessity that the worker should
do a regular full days work They pre
ferred an hour or two at a tini3 with a
corresponding amount of sleep to fol
low and if the overseer turned his back
for a moment he would find half his
men fishing in the river or catching
rata the latter being a very tasty mor
sel to a Kaffir However perseverance
fair treatment and good temper have
hod their reward and to day the com
pany has several hundred good work
ers In June of 1893 the first crop was
reaped amounting to six hundred tons
but it was only finished in November
owing to the innumerable difficulties
and delays before the natives could bo
taught how to work with machinery
In 1894 eight hundred tons of sugni
were made in three months whict
showed an immense improvement TV
give the Kaffir his due it must be said
that the tedium of instructing him if
not without its alleviations It was dis
tinctly humorous to watch the uttei
surprise on the negros countenance
when he first saw the sugar made and
lasted it and that of the man who
trying to stop the fly wheel of one ol
the engines with his hands found him
seif precipitated into a heap of saw
dust some four yards off The humor
however was not always so unmixed
with pain A common accident was foi
the men to get their toes jammed ir
trying to stop the loaded trucks of can
with their naked feet One inquisitive
fellow wanting to test by feeling tn
revolutions of the circular saw did sc
with disastrous result and at the sight
of his hand minus a finger he bolted
and has not been seen again to tnif

Value of Reading in School
A school superintendent was asked
says the Chicago Inter Ocean how
he managed to advance his pupils in
all their studies so much more rapidly
than his predecessor had done Hia
reply is worthy of special note I
make it a point to bring them along as
rapidly as possible in reading In the
primary grades I give more time to this
exercise than is customary in other
schools and I persuade or entice the
pupils of higher grades to read books
newspapers and magazines anything
wholesome that will give them prac
tice and at the same time instruct
them Every day we spend from fif
teen to twenty minutes asking and
answering questions about what we
had read To excite curiosity we post
the most important caption lines from
the columns of the newspapers Tho
next morning nearly every one of th
older scholars is prepared to give par
ticulars on the subject of the previous
days bulletins If I can get our schol
ars to read it is easy to induce them
to study by as much as they becoma
more expert in reading so much is the
labor of pursuing their other studies
reduced and their enjoyment height

Coat of School Books
The cost of school books is often made
to appear as an enormous and unreason
able burden While poor people who havu
large families in school really have
some burden to bear in this matter the
average person has an exaggerated
idea of the cost of schoolbooks
It is interesting to note from the last
census report the cost of certain things
as compared with the cost of school
books It has been found by a series
of investigations in different States
based upon reliable information that
the cost of school books amounts to a
sum which wTould be equal to ten cents
for each inhabitant or 7000000 a year
in the whole United States Compare
this with the following Cost of arti
ficial flowers and feathers 9000000

the school before the appropriation is

A WORD Or ADVICE
To Thoac Cominp to Alaska or th
Klondike Gold Fields
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska to the Klondike or tho
Yukon country and that is the neces
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply Whether procured
in the States in the Dominion or at
the supply stores here or further on
this must be his primary concern Upon
the manner in which the miner has ob
served or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired inde
finitely under all the conditions which
they will have to encounter is Impera
tive For Instance as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied up
on for the chief part of every meal Im
agine the helplessness of a miner with
a can of spoiled baking powder Buj
only the very best flour it is the cheap
est in the end Experience has shov a
the Royal Baking Powder to be tho
most reliable and the trading compan
ies now uniformly supply this brand
as others will not keep in this climate
Be sure that the bacon is sweet sound
and thoroughly cured These are tho
absolute necessities upon which all
must place a chief reliance and can
under no circumstancos be neglected
They may of course be supplemented
by as many comforts or delicacies aa
the prospector may be able to pack or
cesire to pay for From the Alaska
