... PRICE OF MEAT
A. Condition firought About by Alol-0
Work, More TTase More Appetite.
The advance in the price of meats ol
all kinds affords opportunity to free
traders foY some remarks about trusts
and the tariff, and they are harping on
it with their customary rashness. t To
the average man who stops and thinks
a moment the explanation 6f this in
crease in price is easy. It is explained
by the simple fact of increased con
Buniptidil; Earning more money in
the shape of wages than ever before,
the American people are eating more
meat per capita than -ever before
Ours is a meat eating nation. No other
nation consumes anvthiag like so large
a proportion of animal food. While
the wage earners of Europe consider
themselves lucky to get meat once or
twice a week, the American working-
man and his family eat meat three
times a day the year round.
With more work, more wages and
more appetite the American working
man in these days of protection and
prosperity has greatly increased his
meat diet; with the result that usually
follows' an increase of demand and
consumption namely, an increase in
price. It is a condition peculiar to
the present period. Nothing of the
kind occurred during the four years of
free trade tariff reform, lS93-'97. Then
there was no advance in food prices
because of increased consumption. On
the contrary, the prices of nearly all
foodstuffs suffered a decline because
of diminished demand and consump
tion. People ate less meat, less of
everything in those dreary four years.
The demand for agricultural products
fell off enormously and prices fell off
accordingly.
It is estimated that the farmers of
the United States in th four years of
free trade tariff legislation suffered an
aggregate loss of fully fire billions of
dollars by reason of diminished con
sumption and decreased values of farm
products. What the work people of
this country lost through diminished
employment and decreased earnings in
thit same distressful period cau scarce
ly be computed. In any event they
are so much thegaiaers through pres
ent conditions that they would not
welcome a return of the lower food
prices and the accompanying condi
tions of Wilson tariff times.
Conditions 'Have CUansretl.
General David B. Henderson, who
will, without doubt, be the next
Speaker of the House, to succeed Mr.
Mr. ReeJ, has no fears about the suc
cess of the Eepublicau party in 1900
aud the continuauce of our present
national policy. He is quoted as say
ing in reply to the question whether
in his opinion Bryau would be the
Democratic candidate for the Presi
dency next year: "He may be. but if
be is, he will get a much smaller vote
thau he did three years ago. The
Granger' States, which iu 1890 voted
for Bryan, entered the Republican
column in 1898. They will bs found
therein 1300." Evidently, the General
ia of the opinion that the people of
the country know a good thing when
they see it and are not going to risk
the substantial benefits which they
have received through the restoration
of protection for any fancy, promises
on the part of Mr. Bryan or any one
else. The election of Bryau would
mean a change from present condi
tions, and no change could mean
greater prosperity than that which we
now enjoy, in layb the constant cry
of the Bryanites was: Any change
must be for the better; nothing could
be worse than present conditions."
They were uot far wrong, for the con
ditions then existing, as the result of
free trade tariff tinkering, were such
as to bring the country almost to the
verge of revolution. But to-day it is
different. Conditions are such that
any change from the restored policy
of protection to American labor and
industries would inevitably be a
change for the worse.
Hard Times For One Clas.
The effects of a protective tariff are
probably felt nowhere in the country
more than in Pittsburg. Consequent-
v the following statistics, compiled
by the New York World, are of more
than passing interest: Area of Pitts
burg's industrial Klondike, ISO square
miles; number of industries being
operated on full time, 118; number of
men employed in these, embracing all
classes, 270,000; average wages per
day, $2.15; range of wages, $1.75 to
$7 per day; number of idle men,
none, except. from sickness; number
of mills and factories unable to run
full ' time by - reason of scarcity of
abor, sixty; railroads unable to move
reight promptly because the tramc is
thirty per cent, larger than all the
reight cars m service: gross daily
value of trade in Industrial Klondike,
$6,000,000.
When it is remembered that the
foregoing statements are published by
a journal that has lost no opportunity
or denouncing and ridiculing the
Dingley tariff bill, they form pretty
good evidence that there is more com
fort in the present, situation for in
dustrial toilers than for frse trade
theorists. And it should also be re
membered that most industries
throughout the country are nearly if
not quite as active as those of Pitts
burg. These are hard times only for
those who are hunting auti-tarifi
arguments. Pittsburg Commercial

Steam Prom Oil.
By the use of oil instead of coal in
marine engines smoke can be got rid of
and tbe stokehole staff reduced.
It is posyble by one ton of oil to eva
porate as much water as would be dis
posed of by two tons of coal such as is
generally employed for steamships.
Another point in favor of oil, a ton
of coal requires a bunker space of
ninety cubic feet; a ton of oil only calls
for thirty-right feet.

BOGUS ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT.
The Alleged Treasures Were "Faked" In
Central Asia.
Orientalists' will do well to be on
their guard In connection with Central
Asian manuscripts, which have of late
provided them with such an endless
subject of discussion, says the Scots
man, it was Capt. Bower who first
disebvered the existence 6f some ex
tremely ancient manuscripts during
his great journey across central Asia,
and Dr. Sven Hedin brought back a
rich collection for the edification and
mystification of orientalists. Since
then the supply of ancient manuscripts
has been very great, but it is stated
that the gravest suspicion Is now cast
upon the authenticity of a very large
proportion of these so-called relics of
antiquity.
An English officer who is now en
gaged in some exploring work in Cen
tral Asia has discovered that there
exi3ts in Khotan a regular manufac
tory of the manuscript relics, and so
large is the output that he believes
that at least 95 per cent of the manu
scripts which have reached Europe
from central Asia during recent years
are spurious. The process of manu
facture has been explained to him, and
so impressed is he with the difficulty
of distinguishing between the genuine
and the counterfeit that he has him
self adopted a rule of never under any
circumstances buying any ancient book
offered to him for sale. Meanwhile
there is much searching of hearts
among the owners of the manuscripts
which have already found their way

TIMF TO PLANT STRAWBERRIES.
Should be Planted in ths Fall and Cov
ered till Spring.
Strawberries set in the fall will -give
a good crop of large, early berries pro
vided the plants are good and the soil
rich. The most important point is to
have vigorous plants of the very best
varieties, so that they may make a
quick, large growth herore winter sets
in and be ready to bear a heavy crop
when the spring opens.
The best plan for a beginner is to
write to some reputable firm who
makes the growing and selling of
strawberry plants a regular business.
Such a firm will not only sell you thci
plants but give you exact and reliable
information as to what varieties to
plant, how to plant and how to cul
tivate. It will met pay to plant th.
sloven grown, run down plants
usually to be hegged of one's neighbors.
Better plant none.
An enterprising house wife can, with
the best improved varieties cn a small
garden plat, make not. only enough to
supply her own family, but also .11
berries to amount to a neat sum of
pin money, for fine ripe, fresh
strawberries sell themselves almost
anywhere. Such plan's often yield
more clear profit than the whole farm
besides.
Then next spring, after the crop of
berries is gathered, the plant;? can be
worked out and will bear a still larger
crop the spring following.

cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi
monials. Address F.J. Cheney Co.,Toledo, O.

An Unhappy Name.
I remember hearing the following
story from the late Canon . Bardsley,
author of "English Names and Sur
names." There was once a woman
"a little 'crackey,' I think," said the
canon, by way of parenthesis who had
a . son whom she had christened
"What." Her idea seems to have been
bis v name, and kePt .fCji'.WnaV'j )
amusing scenes would follow, which
was jfery enough, especially if the
ooy was' careful to pronounce the. as
pirate. Such a scene did, I believe,
occur once when he went to school,
and was told, as a newcomer, to stand
up and 4 furnish certain particulars.
"What is your name?" asked the
teacher. "What," blurted out the boy,
amid the laughter of the class.x "What
is your name?" asked the "mister
again, with more emphasis. "What,"
replied the boy. "Your name, sir!"
roared back the infuriated pedagogue.
' What, What!" roared back the terri
fied urchin. The sequel I forget, but
I believe it one of those cases in which
the follies of the parents are visited on
the children of the first generation.
Notes and Queries.
Man Could Not Live.
A French naturalist says that if the
world were to become birdless man
could not inhabit it afier nine years'
time. In spite of all the. sprays and
poisons that, could be manufactured for
the destruction of insects tbe bugs and
slugs would simply eat up orchard;
and crops.

A population that can never be as

as applied to the Hawaiian Islands,
prohibit the introduction of the Chi-'
nese, and i3 it right to apply another
rule to the Philippines American ter
ritory? Products take care of them
selves. Climate and soil and a mild
pressure of commercial exchanges have
determined that the Philippines should
contribute to the world's trade a few
leading commodities. The most im
portant is hemp, a natural monopoly;'
for though many species of this plant
are found in the tropics, none pro
duces the same or as good a fiber as
is obtained In the Philippines. More
than that, attempts to raise this par
ticular variety elsewhere have failed.
The value of the exports of hemp la

value of sugar was alo exported
($7,000,000). these two commodities'
making nearly 74 per rnt of the valu
of the total exports. If three other
