INEVITABLE DECLINE IN WAGES Production Curtailed Because of De erensed Drmantl Foreign Cona- trtes Adjust -Their Tariffs For the Purpose of Excluding; American Prodaets, In these days of retrenchment and sagging exports, which are the natural results of a high protective tariff, our manufacturers have been looking for markets abroad that were not Mailed ia by a protective tariff against them. The British colonies " in South Africa seemed the best - field for exploiting, and quite a nice business was spring iug up ia that direction. The depart ineiit of commerce, which now inclndes the bureaus of statistics, was quick to call attention to our increased trade with South Africa, and the protection 1st organs painted , to it as an example of foreign trade that had not been re duced by our own protection wall But. alas, those wicked Britishers, who aw free traders at home, where they cannot raise enough necessities to sup bly themselves, when transplanted to a new-country fc with infant industries which they are trying to build up, have determined on protection. .: The department of commerce now in forms us that all British territory In South Africa has put in operation a preferential tariff system in favor of (jJreat Britain of 23 per cent. This will soon wipe out the trade that our exporters have built up with so much expense and care. The business thus lost with South Africa amounted to $$,000,000, or about one-fourth of what the same territory bought from England, and the amount was increas ed with surprising rapidity. In 180S our trade there amounted to only one- tenth of that of the British, which shows the great increase since that date. Our trade with Canada is being cut off in exactly the same manner, and all the European governments are also raising their tariff walls higher and higher against us. ThV principal suf ferers by this system of protection adopted by other countries will be the American workingman and farmer. Both will be cut oft' from markets for the surplus they produce and above what the people of the United States can consume. The workingmen will suffer by the decreased demand for what they manufacture and the farm crs by the decreased markets for their surplus. As the demand decreases prices for goods or produce fall and wages decline, which is the immediate result that may be looked for in this country. In fact, the process has al ready begun, and some of the greater manufacturers, the trusts, have already notified their workmen that the reduc tion must be made. The steel trust lias posted notices that on Jan. 1 a new igreement with its employees will be necessary. The Dover (N. J.) Index of Oct. 2 says: "Some of the employees of the mines in this section have, received notice that their wages will be cut l- cents per day, and it is said that the same rule is to prevail in nil of the mines in the country in the course of a few days. This is occasioned by the big slump in steel and a consequent reduc tion in the price of pig Iron." That is from a local newspaper pub lished in the iron mine region, and the information, therefore, comes at first hand. A Chicago special correspondent of the New York Evening Tost of Sept. 30 says: , "The railroads and machine shops are not using as many men as recently. The night shifts have in a number of instances been dispensed with owing to a falling off in business." Thus we have the natural result of protection brought home to us by the efforts of other countries to preserve their markets for their own goods. As the foreign demand for our surplus productions decreases we must reduce our output. To reduce means men out of work and lower wages. During the height of the trust boom that has now run its course wages have been increasing. They will now begin to fall, and only the best skilled workmen will find steady employment. The protectionists would have us be lieve that the Dingley bill. If untouch ed, will continue prosperity', but the facts show that it has bred trusts and monopolies, raised the price of living far bej-ond the -Increase of wages, forced countries to -increase their tariff wall against American products and produced a panic in the stock market which seems destined to extend to all branches of trade. That the tariff has been the mother of trusts was a sworn statement of one of the great trust magna'tes and that the trusts have been selling their prod ucts cheaper to foreigners than to our own people has been proved, yet with all this evidence of the harm that the protective tariff has done and is doing the Republican leaders have determin ed not to reduce or reform it and are nlready engaged in packing the com mittees of the coming congress so that the subject cannot even be considered.

Ialaad ot , .St.. lleLenaw There are nt least two queer freaks of natitje on the island of St. Helena or rather four, for one of them is a group of three figures known the world over as the "Devil's Nose" and "Lot and His Daughters." Any one who is able to study the island as it Is and not run wild over the Napoleonic legends which have clustered about that "seabound rock" since the days when the "lattle Corporal" was housed there in his living grave will find much that will repay for investigation, time aud study. . The queerest of the natural forma tions are the oddities above alluded to. The first of these imitative forms is a rocky promontory which has been known by names which signify Old Nick's nasal projection since May 22. 1502, when Juan Castella and his men sighted the island just in time to see the devil disappear beneath the waves in the best harbor, leaving his nose as a reminder of what might happen should the venturesome Spaniard seek to take possession of his Satanic maj esty's favorite haunts. "Lot and His Daughters" are three conical rocks which can only be con jured into representing a man and two women by a strong play of the imag ination. According to the views of some writers they are weather worn statues of colossal size, probably the work of some aborigines of the island. Their gigantic size, however, would seem to preclude this idea. When or by whom they were dubbed "Lot and iiis Daughters" no authority has ven tured to say. American Drams Excel. "Ever know that Americans were the greatest drum makers in the world?" said a man in the business. '.'Fact. Not only do they make the most drums, but they make the finest drums too. And there's a great deal more to the manufacture of a drum than you would think. Of course the cheap variety doesn't amount to anything. They're simply toys. There is just as much difference in drums as in any other musical instrument, though most peo ple wouldn't think so. The drums re quired in orchestra and band work have a certain sharpness of tone, while those used in corps aud military work must have a duller tone, ami the drum must not be so sensitive to the touch. "And how many parts do you think a well made drum consists of? Wrong. It has 2-18 pieces, not including sticks, hooks and belt. Everything must be of first quality, too, for a drum must have tone first of all, and it must be con structed to withstand rough usage. Great business is drum making and in teresting too." Mess System on Board a Man-of-war. : The messing system on board a big 111:1 11-of-war is as comnlex aud complete as the table service of a big hotel. The modern war shin, with its five or six .hundred persons on board, must be a floating hotel and storehouse in itself. Everv vessel of the navy is required by the regulations governing the navy to have a sreneral messing system. The enlisted men on ship are divided into squads of about twenty each, forming a mess. Chief petty officers and offi cers' servants are not included in this division. Every mess has one or two notty officers at its table, who fare like the men. Every mess has its specia mess man, who brings the food from the srallev and serves it at the table. It Is also the mess man's duty to see that the mess table aud mess gear are clean and in order. The messes on board ship are under the direct supervision of the com missary department, which is under the control of the pay officers. Gun ton's Magazine. Sarsanarllla "Floors Them." "Of all the drinks asked for at this counter," said the soda water clerk, 'those doctored up with sarsaparilla are most frequently mispronounced. Not one person in ten speaks that word correctly. Most people call it either sasaprilla' or 'sasaprella. "Evervpeople who know how to spell the word don't seem to be able to twist their toucues around the combination of syllables and make 'sarsaparilla' out of them. They may be able to pro nounce words much harder without a stammer, but 'sarsaparilla' floors them every time." New York Times. A Creature From the Fire. Aristotle believed that some crea tures were capable of supporting life even though confined to the devouring element. He says: "In Cyprus, when the manufacturers of cbalcitis (lime) burn it many days in the fire, a winged creature something larger than a great fly is seen emerging from the stone and leaping and walking about in the fire. These creatures perish immedi ately upon being removed from the fur nace." . Damaging; Admission. "The baby weighs twelve pound3, does lie?" said the proud young moth er.
