infective disease, founded on a knowl
edge of germs and their products,
which his labors and those of his dis

Here is the method employed by the
hunters of British Columbia who poach
upon the scaling grounds: When the
schooner sights a seal the little boats
ore lowered. A hunter armed with
two shotguns and a rifle and two sail
ors to pull the boat take their places
and the hunt begins. The seal may be
swimming at the surface, or perchance
he is sleeping. The boat is pulled
quietly toward the animal. In nine
cases out of ten the seal takes alarm
and dives out of sight before the boat
is brought close enough to use the
guns with effect, and in no case does
the hunter shoot unless he feels sure oi
his quarry. The seal when shot at
once commences to sink, and the boat
has to be pulled rapidly up to it, when
the body is“gaffed” and hauled aboard.
This is repeated as long as seal can be
seen. Iq many cases only one or two
' will beTcilled during a two days' hunt,
smile at other times as many as twenty
will be taken.

McKinley ami the Farmer.
New York Press: The “reformer”
wants to know what benefit
the McKinley tariff has been to
wool growers. Well, it has so stimu
lated domestic wool manufacturing by
reducing our imports of woolen goods
'or the first seven months it has been
in force from 828,723,201 to $20,089,143
for the corresponding period last year,
i that. the increased demand for do
: mestic wool has kept the price nearly
I up to its last year's figures, although
| Australian wool has declined in the
| world's market from an average price.
| of $72.83 per bale last year to $55.32
per bale this year.
During October, 1889, we imported
2,282,520 dozen eggs. The McKinley
bill duty on eggs went into effect on
October 0, 1890. Prom the first of Oc
tober to the sixth we imported 1,139,
303 dozen eggs, but from the sixth to
the thirty-first we imported only 123,
589 dozen. In other words the Mc
Kinley bill made a home market for
1,019,028 dozen eggs in twenty-five
days. Did anybody in this country eat
fewer eggs in November, 1890, than in
November, 1889? Yet in November,
1889, with eggs on the free list, we
imported 2,468,452 dozen of eggs, but
in November, 1890, under the McKin
ley duty on eggs, only 127,808 dozen.
And the price wasn't raised, either,
for the eggs we imported in November,
1989, were invoiced at 8413,502, or 16.75
cents a dozen, while those we imported
in November, 1890, were invoiced at
$17,281, or only 13.94 cents a dozen.
It simply means that $395,741 went
into the pocket of American farmers
instead of Canadian farmers.
When eggs were on the free list in
May, 1890, we imported 1,791,504 dozen
during that month, at a total valua
tion of $194,073, or 10.8 cents a dozen.
Well, our imports for May, 1891, were
only 196.504 dozen eggs, but tlio con
sumer did not suffer, because Ameri
can farmers sold 1,595,000 dozen more
eSTffs; for these last imports were val
ued at $16,540, or only 8.4 cents a
dozen.
Eggs were on the free list in ADril,
1890, and we imported 450,623 dozen.
The McKinley bill made them duti
able, and in April of this year, we im
ported only 24,892 dozen.
That turned over the market for
425,731 dozen eggs to the American
i producer. Did it hurt the consumer?
it doesn't seem to have done so: it
must have benefited him from the
; price. The imports for April, 1890,
I were valued at $47,786, or 10.6 cents a
dozen, while those of April, 1891, were
valued at $2,070, or 8.316 cents a
dozen.
THE ALLIANCE IN KANSAS.
How It Was !W:ido a Democratic Aid So
ciety, Similar to t hat of s utli Dakota.
Atlanta Constitution: It is a note
worthy fact that the republican farm
ers of Kansas, as soou as they had im
bibed the democratic principles of the
alliance, became exceedingly bitter
against their old party, and they have
managed to demoralize and defeat it.
Thus the alliance has accomplished in
Kansas in a campaign of thirty days
what rue democrats could not have ac
complished in a eampaignof thirtv years
To the republican farmers of Kansas
the very name “democrat'' has been
for more than t.wenty-five years the
synonym of “rebel,’-’ “traitor,” and
"copperhead.•’ it has been the key to
unlock the storehouse of their sectional
prejudices. It is a pity that this should
be so, yet in discussing results, it con
stitutes a fundamental fact that can
not be ignored.
“The alliance movement, however,
has served to divert these republican
furmers from their war memories and
their sectional prejudices, and they
have at least discovered that the prac
tical democracy which is the basis and
strength of the alliance platform, is
better suited to their condition, their
hopes and aspirations than the bitter
ness and strife of republican partisan
ship. Their point of view was so
changed that, when Colonel Living
ston, of tieorgia, and Colonel Polk, of
North Carolina, democratic alli
ance men, who went into Kansas
and took part in the campaign, their
speeches were cheered to the echo by
I audiences that for twenty-five years or
more had been voting the republican
ticket straight out and without devia
tion. The canvass made by Messrs.
Polk and Livingston was necessarily
brief, but they crowded a good deal of
effective work into the space of a few
days, and there can be no doubt that
the speeches they made did a good deal
of good.”
I v>e ii.ive uu mien 10 me amazing rc
j suits iu Kansas merely to show the na
ture and extent of the alliance move*
! ment among the republican farmers iu
the west and northwest. It shows be
! vond question that the alliance has a
political mission in that region. Its
mission, and one that it is carrying? out
with a success that has no parallel in
the history of our politics, is to teach
the republican farmers to think for
1 themselves and to discuss politics
freely, fairly and unbiased by sectional
prejudices.”
As in Kansas, so in South Dakota,
the alliance for the past two years has
been run as a democratic aid society,
and for the only purpose of breaking1
up the republican party. However,
many of its members see where it is
drifting and are return n j. This fall's
election will show a great falling off
in the independent vote in this state.
In the last two weeks of September
there were more chattel mortgages
satisfied in Lawrence county than in
the whole of the last two preceding
years. So says the Deadwood Times,
yet the calamity shriekers say not a
word about it.
—Several enormous man-eating sharks
have been killed in the Loganport, N. J.,

Let Them Answer If They Can,
New York Press: One week ago the
Press published as complete an anuly-!
sis as could then be made of the re
suits of the operation of the new tariil
law. The fact and figures given were
derived from the actual records of ex
ports and imports and were given in
detail; the opinions obtained by the
Press reporters were those of mer
chants, great and small, republican
and^ democratic alike, doing business
in New York. These opinions showed
that the prices of about 'JO per cent of
the articles in commonest use had
either declined or remained stationary
in price in the first year of the McKin
ley bill, while actual statistics prove d
that instead of putting a Chinese wall
around the country and strangling
commerce, the new tariff law had act
ually increased free imports in seven
months ending August 1, SS'J, 510,777
and increased exports £80,397,188.
The facts presented by the Press
have been copied and commented on
far and near. Hut not one democratic
or free trade newspaper has attempted
to refute or answer them. This dis
graceful apology for an answer came
I from the World yesterday—after six
u<iys oi urain racKing. “The latest bril
liant effort” of the Press, it said, was“to
I claim that the tariff is not a tax, be
cause the articles taxed are cheaper
than they were in 1857! This is like
arguing that stage coaches are faster
than they used to be, because one can
now rido to Boston in six hours,
whereas formerly it took four days.”
I1 or the benefit of Mr. Cleveland,
(Jovernor Hill aDd the whole host of
free traders, we present in a nutshell
some facts about the operation of the
new tariff which they will have
to meet squarely or confess themselves
beaten. The McKinley bill has—
Increased the duties on about..115 articles
I Reduced the duties on about.. .19 ) articles
i And left it unchanged on.24!) articles
Increased our foreign commerce (in 11
months).$74,708.0';!)

Increased free imports over the last tariff.
per cent.21.48
Reduced the duties per capita from $8.80
to #3.07.
Reduced the total revenue (‘‘tariff taxes”)
in 12 months.*41,390.425
Increased the cost of no necessity of life
and reduced the cost of many; stimu
lated business, and thereby tended to
make people busier and earnings surer,
if not larger.
Tht figures here given for foreign
commerce and free imports are for
eleven months ending September 1, the
latest at hand, and the percentages of
free imports, which are now larger
than ever before in the history of our
government, are for six months, be
ginning April 1, when sugar became
tree.
Such is the early fruit of genuine
“tariff reform” by the republican
party. We will allow the free traders
to squirm over these figures until they
shall be able to answer them.
Facts vs. Theory.
Milwaukee Sentinel: The Philadel
phia Record, a free-trade organ, an
swers a correspondent who asks it to
explain how it is that canned goods of
all descriptions are cheaper this year
than ever before, notwithstanding the
Record's predictions that they would
be higher. The answer is that the
price is lower “because sugar, fruits
and vegetables were much cheaper It
costs more for the cans, and costs less
for the contents. Hut the contents
being much more valuable than the
cans, the percentage of decreased cost
on the one is treble the pereentag'e of
increased cost on the other.”
If this explanation were correct, one
might very properly conclude that,
after all, the new tariff law which,
while it increases prices on some
. articles, reduces them so much on
others that the average is lower than
I ever before, is not burdening con
j suraers seriously. Hut the assertion
! that it costs more for cans this year is
1 not true. One of the largest houses en
gaged in manufacturing cans, Norton
i Bros., of Chicago, publish a card in
which they say that the prices of such
cans as are used in canning factories
were from 25 to 30 per cent, lower in
September, 1891, than in September,
1890, before the new tariff law was
enacted. They also state that their
average prices for the present year
are more than 5 per cent, lower than
the average prices the season through
for the past ten years: and they publish
the following comparison of prices be
tween the years 1888, before the agita
tion over the McKinley law began, and
1891:

The free trade theory requires that
prices shoe Id be higher, and therefore
the democratic papers assert that tliev
are higher. But tiie people who buy
accept facts iu preference to theories.
[ New York Press: “Free trade suits
us, but if I had been an American I
| would have been a protectionist twenty
