H , That the Wilson free trade tariff hao
H j proven a more complete failure in its
H I second year than In its first is shown
H } by figures obtained here from the gov-
H * eminent reports for the year 189G and
H a comparison with those of 1895. The
H official statement of the treasury re-
H celpts for the year 189G issued by the
H government on Jan. 2 showed the re-
H • ccipts'of December to be $25,857,114.24 ,
H / and the total receipts of the year 1896
M i only 9314,585,068.92. This is $2,462,614
H I le s than the receipts of the year 1895 ,
H nml less than any year , for a quarter
H of a century with the single exception
H of the year in which the Wilson law
1 ) was adopted. The claim of the friends
B of the Wilson law , except those who
U v - abandoned it to its fate months ago ,
H has been that it would , if given time to
M adjust itself , produce sufficient revenue
H to meet running expenses. But its scc-
M end calendar * year is worse than its
H firet , since , as shown above , it produced
H less in 1 9G than it did in 1S95. In-
B stead of doing better after "adjusting
B , ( itself to business conditions , " it has
fl done worse. The deficit for the year
H 3 896 is $59,249,325 , while that for 1895
M -was but $34,094,432. The total re-
B ceipts in the twenty-eight months since
H the law went into effect have fallen
M $120.954,45G.57 below the expenditures ,
H or an average -deficit of over four mil-
H lions cf doliars. per month for the cn-
H tire time. For the year 1895 it was
H less tlinn three millions per month , but
H for the year 1896 it was over four mil-
H lions per month , thus showing that the
H promise that the law , like cheese , would
H improve with age , has not been real-
| ized. It is not surprising that , at last ,
H Secretary Carlisle has grown tired of
H predicting better things for it , and that
Hi lie admitted in his last report that it
w would not produce revenue enough to
R meet running expenses.
ft j It is interesting in this connection to
H | compare the receipts of the Wilson law
Hj i" the twenty-eight months of its his-
B | tory with the corresponding history of
H the McKinley law. Secretary Carlisle
H § argued in his last report that a protcc-
H $ tivc tariff could no longer be relied up-
j on to produce revenue. Either he must
K have failed to compare the workings
Hj of the low tariff lav , - which his party
Hj enacted with those of the McKinley
1 law. or he supposed that other people
Hj -would not do so. The Wilson low tariff
H | law has produced $714,670,761.75 of
B revenue in twenty-eight months of ope-
fl ration. The McKinley law , a thorough-
H ly protective measure , produced ? S42 , -
H y37.22G.30 in the first twenty-eight
H months of its existence. This shows
H that the McKinley protective tariff
H produced in its first twenty-eight
Hj months $12S,2G6,464.55 more than did
H the Wilson low tariff law in its first
Hj twenty-eight months. Mr. Carlisle also
H attempted to place the blame for the
* K deficit under the Wilson tariff upon
• j H congress because of its large appropri-
HH ations. Had he taken the trouble to
B compare the receipts of the first twen-
H ty-eight months of the McKinley law
Hj with the expenditures of the first twen-
H ty-eight months under the Wilson law
H he would have seen that his argument
B -would not stand the test of facts. The
Hj CApenditures during the twenty-eight
B months in which the Wilson law has
Hj ] ) ceu in operation amount to $835,625 , -
H 217.S2. The receipts during the .first
H twenty-eight rnonths of the McKinley
H tariff lav. - were $842,937,226.30. Thus ,
H had Mr. Carlisle had the McKinlcy
Hj protective tariff law receipts during the
H lime in which he complains of a deB -
B ficit he might have not only had sufficient -
H | -ficient to meet the "excessive expendi-
Hj lures" of which he complains , but a
H snug surplus besides. The much-be-
H rated McKinley protective tariff law in
B its firs : twenty-eight months produced
B more than * enough to have met all the
B -expenditures that have been made in
Hj the twenty-eight months , during
H -which the Wilson lav/ has beenETAity
HJ which the Wilson low tariff law
H lias been piling up a deficit of
| H $119,954,455 , and would have left
Hj a surplus of nearly seven million dol-
H lars besides. The attempt to show that
H the deficit is due to extravagant appro-
H priations or expenditures is not justi-
B fled by the facts , since it is found that
H the expenditures during the first twen-
H ty-eight months of the McKinley law
H were about the same as those in the
H -twenty-eight months of the Wil-
K son law. yet there was then a surplus
V of over ten million dollai-s , while there
Bj ir-a deficit of nearly $120,000,000 under
K the Wilson law.
H | Wool ( Jrowers anil nianiiracturer.s.
H New York Tribune : Having tried
B free wool awhile , the manufacturers
Bj have reason to know that it shuts up
Hj a large share of works in this country ,
H and that the ad valorem duties which
Hf they find disastrous cannot ba changed
H into specific duties without the hearty
H assistance cf wool-growing states. So
B -wool-growers have tried a policy which
K promised them cheaper clothing. They
K .listened to elaborate arguments that if
H they bo' .ght two suits of fine foreign
H " -woolens every year they would gain
H [ more on the clothes than they would
H lose on the wool as growers. Their
H experience has presumably taught them
H [ something. Wool grown in northern
H states cast of the Mississippi was in
B September , 1S96 , 16 to 16.2 cents per
K pour , , " lower than it was July 1 , 1890 ,
H' and wool of states and territories be-
BF yond the Mississippi has declined rela-
B tively as much. If the growers have
H not perceived by this time the dishon-
B est nature of the plea that a manufac-
B turn stimulated to the utmost by free

wool will give them higher prices for
their product , they a. beyond learn
ing anything.
These interests can never thrive
apart. It.is not possible for one to
shape legislation without the other.
It is not possible to build up an ex
tensive manufacture , under American
conditions , without Its basis in a large
'
supply of American wool , a nd it is not
possible to develop wool-growing , • or
ever to save it from destruction , with
out an extensive American manufac
ture. If practical men who have
learned these things by severe expe
rience cannot see their way to united
and harmonious action , the committee
will have to explore a way for Itself.
The allied industries -wool-manufac
turing and wool-growing will have to
be protected , for the welfare of the
country , whether those who happen to
represent them are able to devise a way
or not.
Gold Galore.
From the Philadelphia Times : The
production of gold in the United States
in 1896 was of the value of $51,500,000 ,
an increase of more than ten per cent
over that of the previous year , -\nd the
total production of the world is esti
mated at $215,000,000. an increase of
uearly six per cent. As the population
of the world increases at the average
ate cf only about one per cent annu
ally , and in this country not above two
and a half per cent , it is easy to see
how little ground there is for the as
sumption that gold is growing scarcer.
This can be shown even more clearly
by considering the ratio of increase in
the world's accumulated stock of gold.
Last year's output is equivalent to an
addition of about five per cent to this
stock , and this increase has been con
tinuous , the annual production being
now nearly double that of ten years
ago. In other words , the stock of gold
available for use as money is increas
ing far beyond the growth of popula
tion , so that even apart from the con
stant development of instruments of
credit and the diminishing necessity
for the actual transfer of coin in busi
ness operations , the argument based
upon quantity alone falls to the ground.
As a matter of fact , those countries
in whioh there is no question as to
the standard of value require compar
atively little gold in their daily tran
sactions. It is only when the free
movement of exchange is in some way
interrupted or credit shaken by doubts
of the currency , as in our case last
year , that the people begin to demand
the metal itself. With the gradual
disappearance of the bimetallic delu
sion all over the world , there will be
found an abundance of gold to serve
as a basis for all the currency that
can be required , and the continuing
additions to the stock of silver can
thus be utilized for small change or
turned over to those unenlightened
people who know nothing of banking
and mercantile credit , but still adhere
to the primitive methods of barter and
prize a piece of metal for its size.
Canada and Our TarifT.
Chicago Times-Herald : It is report
ed that the Canadian premier would
like to make the commercial relations
between the United States and Canada
"in all respects as free as they are be
tween the states of the union. " While
the new administration will doubtless
be disposed to meet the Canadian gov
ernment half-way in strengthening the
commercial relations between the two
nations by perfecting agreements with
reference to improvement of waterways
and with reference to rights of fisher
men and * by adjusting other controver
sies on an amicable basis , it cannot
consent to any policy that fixes the
same commercial status for Canada
that is accorded to Illinois or Ohio.
Canada is still subject to the crown.
It is not part of the United States poli
tically. The agriculturists of the Unit
ed States are entitled to some protec
tion from the cheap products of Cana
dian farms. The lumber interests of
Maine and the northwest have been
already seriously injured by the free
importation of cheap Canadian lumber
under the Wilson bill. The coal min
ers of Pennsylvania and West Virginia
should not be compelled to compete
with the cheap product of the mines
of British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
Canada has no stronger claim for
free access to the American markets
than has England , Germany or Japan.
If Canada wants to enjoy the same
privileges in our markets as are now
enjoyed by Michigan and Maine she
must come into the union. This she
never will do. hence all our trade
agreements with Canada must recog
nize her as a foreign power , but should
be governed by the greatest comity and
good will that are consistent with the
patriotic protection of our own indus
trial interests.

STRONG WORDS TO WOMEN
Mia. Helen II. Gardner Tulles at tlio Evils
of Subjection of MotherA.
WashingtonFeb. . 10. The .First
fJaptisR church was crowded .long" be
fore the opening of the mothers' con
gress to-day and nn ovei'liow meeting
was held hi the iarjjc Sunday school
room.
Mrs. Helen II. Gardner of Eo3ton
read a paper on the moral responsibil
ity of women in heredity , in the course
of which she said : "I fear that I shall
strike a less pleasant note than thobc
who have dealt with the ideal mother
hood. My theme is scientific. It
deals with demonstrable facts , and it
goes back even of the kindergarten.
Self-ahnepration , subserviency to man
-qjtvhctlier he be father , lover or hus
band--is the most dangerous theory
that can be taught to or forced upon a
woman. She has no right , to transmit
a nature that is subservient and a
slavish character , either blindly obedi
ent or blindly rebellious , and there
fore set. as is a time-lock , to prey or to
be preyed upon by societj' of the future.
If woman is not brave enough person
ally to demand to obtain personal liberty -
< erty of action , equality of stat\s , en
tire control of her great and race-en
dewing function , maternity , she has
no right to dai'e to stamp upon a
child and to curse a race with the de
scendants of such a servile , a dwarfed ,
a. rtime-and-naster-scrvirg character.
We wonder how shy dares to face her
child and know that she did not lit
herself by sjlf-devclopmcnt and by di
rect , sincere , firm and thorough quali
fications for maternity before she darn
to assume its responsibilities. Wc
wonder that man has been .so slow in
learning to read the message that
nature has telegraphed to him
: n letters of fin ; and photographed
with a terrible persistency up
on the distorted , diseased bodies
and minds of his children and upon the
moral imbeciles she has set before him
as an answer to iiis message of sex
domination. Do you know that there
is an army of 700,000 defectives in this
country ? Siven hundred thousand
imbecile , insane , deaf , dumb , blind and
criminal lietims of maternal and pa

ALDERMEN ACCUSED.
Warrants Arc Out for Tivc Chicago
Councilman I'ronchcr After Them.
Chicago , Feb. 19. Warrants were
yesterday afternoon sworn out for the
arrest of five aldermen and two other
men on a charge of violating the mu
nicipal law regarding the observance
of Sunday and the closing of saloons
upon that daj' . Those for whom the
warrants were issued were : Alderman
John Powers , Alderman John J. Cough-
iin. Alderman John A. Rogers , Alder
man John .J. Brennan , Alderman V.
Ward Haas , John Broderick , M. C.
Conlin.
The complaints " were filed by Hie
Rev. W. W. Clark , who. after filing his
complaints against each of the persons
named , swore out warrants for the ar
rest. The minister then attempted to
procure a warrant for the arrest of
Mayor George B. Swift , on n. charge of
malfeasance in office. He argued that
Mayor Swift , when he was elected to
office , promised to observe and enfoi-ce
city laws , and had not done so. The '
warrant was refused by Justice Iloag-
land , who granted the warrants for
the aldermen.

here from Athens says that King
George is to take command in person
of the Northern ; irmy , adding that he
is reported to have said he preferred
to die in battle than to be an exile
king , which , according to the dispatch ,
would be his fate in the event that he
did not take the lead in the present
crisis.
A special dispatch from Larissa says
that 1,000 Macedonians have crossed

Greece to recall her torpedo flotilla so
long as the excitement continues in
Crete.
No Money for the Printer.
Topeka , Kan. , Feb. 19. Sceretar }
of State Bush yesterday served notice
on State Printer J. K. Hudson to im
mediately stop all state printing and
all printing covered by the deficiency
appropriotion bill for 1S97 , which
passed the senate and house last week.
Secretary Bush gave as his reason that
there was no money to pay for print
ing ; that the governor had not yet
signed the appropriation bill referred
to , and that the law prohibited him
from obligating the state to pay any
claim when there was no appropria
tion to pay such claim. Before serv
ing the notice , Mr. Bush obtained an
opinion from the attorney general to
the effect that his position was correct.

.THE BEC0.RB BROKEN
C , B. & Q. ACCOMPLISHES A
GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the ISurlliigton Kouto
It tin h front Chit-ago to Denver , l,02G
Miles , at an Average Speed of Nearly
58 Miles an Hour.
The Chicago , Burlington " & Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fust running.
It was made in a race against death
to carry Henry J. Mayham of New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Den
ver , 1.025 miles , was covered in ex
actly 1,069 minutes' actual running
time. This is only a small fraction
less than one mile a minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad in the world.
It was a run made in the ordinary
course of business. No special prepa
ration whatever had been contem
plated for the trip. In exactly forty-
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open and the
train glided out of the Union Depot on
a race which surprised railroad men
the world over.
The engine which took the train on
the first run out of Chicago to Galesburg -
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling a regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up , but it
was quickly turned around , attached to
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought it to
Chicago. Not more than a half dozen
officials or employes of the road knew
the trip was to be made. This fact is
the most important in the history of
the great feat , as it demonstrates the
superb physical condition of the road
and the perfect management which en
ables such remarkable time to bo
maintained for more than a thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break
ing tiain is as follows , including all
stops :
From Chicago Miles. Time.
To Galesburg 163 2h. 56m.
To Burlington 206 3h. 48m.
To Pacific Jet 482 9h. 5m.
To Lincoln 541 10b. 11m.
To Hastings 638 12h. 3m.
To McCook 770 14h. 15m.
To Denver 1,025 18h. 53m.
Average time , including stops , 54.3
miles per hour.
Average time , excluding stops , 57.54
miles per hour.
The first stop made by the train after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies , where four minutes were
consumed. At Aurora the traveling en
gineer took one minute to look the en
gine over and the train ran without a
stop until Mendota was reached , when
three minutes more were consumed for
the same purpose. A total of twenty-
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver , consuming in all sixty-
four minutes. The longest stop was
made at Red Oak , la. , where engines
were changed on account of a hot
truck. At this point the fastest run
of the trip was made. Soon after leav
ing Creston it was discovered that a
box on one of the engine trucks was
heating , but in spite of this fact the
run of thirty-six miles was made in
thirty-four minutes. At Villisca a
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oalc , fifteen miles , was
made in as many minutes.
Over long stretches of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
minute for distances
more than a mile a
tances of forty to sixty miles. Six en
gineers took the train from Chicago to
Denver , making an average of 170
miles to each run.
Mr. Mayham left New York Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock on Pennsylvania
Limited in response to i-epeated mes
sages that his son , William B. May
ham , was lying at the point of death
at Denver. At Fort Wayne Mr. May
ham became convinced that the ordi
nary trains would not take him to the
bedside of his son in time to close his
eyes in death , and he promptly wired
the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy road
to have in readiness a special train to
carry him through to Denver in the
shortest possible time.
The Pennsylvania arrived in Chicago
ten minutes late and thirty minutes
making necessary preparations for the
were consumed by Mr. Mayham in
journey.
The ti-ain left the Union Depot at ex
actly 10 o'clock Monday morning. The
Burlington road had agreed to make
the trip to Denver "inside of twenty-
four hours. " The feat was accom
plished in three minutes less than
nineteen hours , or more than five
hours under the stipulated time.
Children's Letters.
Children should be encouraged to
write letters. It gives them facility in
write letters. It gies them facility in
expressing their ideas , and if the habit
is established in childhood , it is less
difficult in after life. When they leave
the old home a regular correspondence
is a source of the greatest comfort to
both parents and children , and fre
quent letters help to keep the fraternal
tie strong between brothers and sis
ters.

MUSIC A LA GOLF.
Gives a Freshness and Variety to
Criticism.
In these days , when golf Is crowding
in popularity every other form of out
door sport , it is also in England , at
least giving a freshness and variety
to musical criticism which will be ap
preciated by the lay mind that is not
educated up to a knowledge of the
technical terms usually employed in
describing musical events , says an ex
change. Here is a report taken from
a recent London paper , of a classical
concert at St. James' hall : "An enor
mous crowd assembled last Monday
night to witness the foursome compe
tition over the St. James hall links.
Punctually at 8 o'clock Dr. Joachim
drove off from the tee , Signor Plattl
responding with a lovely low shot ,
which left Mr. Gibson within easy
reach of the green with his brassey.
Mr. Ries foozled the second subject
and Dr. Joachim was badly bunkered ,
but using his niblick on the G string
in masterly style laid his ball dead ,
and the first movement was halved
amid great enthusiasm. Staring one
up at the scherzo , Signor Platti began
the second movement , and outdrove
Dr. Joachim by at least twenty bars.
Mr. Gibson approached cleverly , and
in the trio there was nothing to choose
between the opponents , the coda ( con
sordini ) resulting in another half. Mr.
Gibson and Signor Platti were now
dormy , but the latter , being obliged
to play pawky round a dangerous piz
zicato passage , lost a good deal of
ground , as Dr. Joachim's drive and
Mr. Ries' second were both long and
straight. "
SOME LATE NEW THINGS.
An adjustable handle for carrying
traveling bags is arranged so that it
can be fastened to either side of the
bag by riveting a pair of bracelets in
to which the ends of the handle lock
to each side of the bag , thus allowing
the bag to be carried either Hat or
edgewise , as desired.
Pneumatic car-fenders have recent
ly been patented , consisting of a num
ber of elastic tubes set in metal frames
shaped like ordinary fenders.
A new folding table has a drawer
set in the under portion of the table
top in such a manner that it cannot
be removed when the legs are folded
up , the legs covering the front of the
drawer.
A recent improvement in monkey
wrenches consists of a lever lying par
allel with the handle to tighten the
grip of the jaws. To operate it the
lever is raised and the jaws screwed
as tight as possible by means of the
usual thumbscrew , when the lever is
forced downward , thus closing the
jaws mare tightly together.
To remove coats and hats out of the
way and yet place them where they
can be reached easily when wanted a
new device consists of a bracket or rack
to hold a number of coats and hats at
tached to a rod running up to the
ceiling of the room in such a manner
that it can be raised or lowered to the
desired height and fastened either by
a thumbscrew or spring catch.
A recently patented coin separator
and distributor has a long , fiat metal
feed chute into which the coins are
dropped at one end , the other end be
ing lower , so that the coins will roll
down to the coin-holders , each holder
having an opening into the chute
through : which the coin drops , the size
of the coin determining which tube it
belongs in. *
The heating of flat and sad irons by
electricity has just been patented , the
device having the inside next to the
bottom hollowed ont and several coils
Df wire- placed therein , connected with
an electric circuit by means of wires
running to' an electric lamp socket , the
passage of the current through the
soils heating the bottom of the iron.
A handy little coin package is made
of metal and is fitted with a sliding
section around the barrel portion ,
which can be closed and fastened with
i loop when the package is full.
H"ts Little Tilings Do Harm.
Oftentimes it is little faults , little
carelessness in conduct , little blemishes
in character , the "no harms" that make
fairly good people almost useless , so
Tar as their influence goes. There was
a great light house out at sea. One
night the men lighted the lamps , as
usual. Some time afterward they saw
that there appeared no light upon the
water where ordinarily there was a
bright lane of beams. They examined
their lamps they were burning bright
ly. But they looked outside and there
were millions of little insects on the
glass , so thickly piled there that the
light could not get through. In the
morning they learned that a ship had
been wrecked close by because the
light had been obscured by the in
sects. Here is the lesson , says Dr.
Miller : The lamp may be burning
brightly in your sou ! or in mine ; but
little faults pride , ugly temper , sel
fishness , half-heartedness. bad habits
Df tongue , carelessness about paying
debts or keeping promises , a hundred
other things may so cloud our lives
as to obscure the image of God in our
souls. Perhaps some soul has been
lost because your lamp does not shine
out with a clear light. We counsel
you young people to be good , beautiful
in character , faithful in all duties-
