GOV. BOIES’ METHOD. HOW HE MAKES CONVERTS TO TAR IFF REFORM DOCTRINE. » mt HU Strength with the Fw ELECTRICITY CURES NEURALGIA. mt Pacta—fl U Tim m Um XcKlalvy ML Governor Boios is entitled to all the booon be has obtained from Iowa. Hie strength with the people come* from hie holiest, frank way of treating public questions, and his clear, direct and homely statements, which can be under- etood by all. The following, from a recent speech, is in his best rein. After telling how the people rebuked the Re publicans two years ago, and stating that the issues are the same this campaign as they ware in 1800, be said: “Unless a great many of you who were then dissatisfied have changed your minds in regard to the McKinley bill you will vote for the Democratic ticket as you did then. Our Republican friends say you did not know what you were doing then. They say the wicked Democrats scared you out of your senses, and you deposited your ballots ignorant of what they meant; that now you can show bow much mistaken yon were, return to the Republican party .andhelp to maintain this80 percent, tariff. The question is whether you were mistaken then, or ought to stand by tbs judgment you then formed and expressed.” Having explained how it is that soma farmers succeed by working sixteen hours a day, while their wives work eighteen and their children tenor twelve hours, in spite of their heavy and unjust burdens of taxation, and that even then success is often due more to the rise in the value of their land than to the sale of their farm products, he said: Some of the crops of your farms, however, are still sold at less than cost The same is true of cattle. It is true of spring wheat, which is selling in localities at fifty cents a bushel; it is true of winter wheat, which is fetching sixty cents a bushel. Now, 1 ask you, as the farmers of Iowa, men who owe some thing to your own families, to compare your situation with that of the manufac turers, whom our Republican friends tell os we must protect in order to enable them to carry on business profitably. Whtra is the property of this nation? Today 40,000 families own half of the property in the United States, and that property is tha product of labor and nothing else on the face of the earth. And you, the laboren, are asked to vote for a policy that makes every single necessity yon use cost more than it should in order that some manufacturer in another state can pile up his fortnne —not by hundreds of thousands, but by millions in many cases. I ask yon. Is it just to yourselves or just to your fami lies? Stop and think. You may have been Republicans; your fathers may have been Republicans before yon; bnt what is your duty? Here is a live issue—not a dead one: not an iasne upon which yon were a Republican or Democrat thirty years ago, bnt a live one. The Republicans say that it is yonr duty, the farmers of Iowa, to go to the lulls and vote for a policy that makes yon put yonr bands into yonr pockets and contribute of your hard earuinga to build up and make profit able somebody rise's industry. Do you believe that is fair or just? If you do, go and vote the Republican ticket, but ask tlie forgiveness of your wires and children after you have cast yonr ballot. Don’t forgit that, for you owe a duty to yonr families—a duty that is over and above any duty you owe to any manu facturer or any political party. If yon will I* jsv t tr» yourselves and just to your families, forget all party prejudice and remember that a responsibility is up. .a your shoulders for the vote you cn-'l. If yon do this I know where your votes will go—tuey will go into the Democratic boxes ami help to bring alxott *.u«s of the grandest reforms ever advocated in the world. Th* Vibratory Principle Applied Is th* Head by an Electrical Helmet. Among all the methods more or lees odd in appearance applied to the treat ed nervous diseases, there are few more orignal than the one that has been employed for some time at the Salpe- triere by Professor Charcot It is the THE GLASS TBUST. CONSUMERS PAY-THE TARIFF AND NOT THE FOREIGNERS. Solid Foundations. Thou who oppose tariff reform de lude themselves if they suppose it rests wholly upon appeals to selfish consider- c lions ami the promise of advantage, ri?ht or wrong, or that our only hope of wiuuing depends upon arousing animos- i:y between different interests among onr people. While we do not propoee that those whose welfare we champion shall lie blind to the advantages accru ing to them from our plan of tariff re form, and while we are determined that these advantages shall not be surren dered to the blandishments of greed and avarice we still claim nothing that has not underlying it moral sentiment and considerations of equity and good con science. Because oar cause rests upon such foundations sordidness and selfishness cannot destroy it The fight for justice ami right is a clean and comforting one. and because the American people love justice and right onn must be a winning fight.—Grover Cleveland’s Providence Speech. Trad*. Tariff* and Labor. Trade, as we have seen, is a mode of production, and the tendency of tariff restrictions on trade is to lessen the production of wealth. Bat protective tariffs also operate to alter the distribu tion of wealth by imposing higher prices on some citixens and giving extra profits to others. This alteration of distribution -In their favor is the impelling motive with those moat active in procuring the imposition of -protective duties, and in warning workmen of the dire calamity that will come upon them If such duties are repealed. Bnt in what way protective tariffs affect the distribution of wealth in favor of labor? The direct object and effect of protective tariffs is to raise the price of commodities. Bnt men who work for wages are not sellers of comiucriiiie*—they are sellers of labor. They sell labor in ordsr that they may bey commodities. How can the Increase in the price of commodities benefit them?—-Henry George. There is a serious disease of the nerv ous system, characterised by an inces sant trembling of the hands, a stooping attitude and an odd gait, that makes it as if the invalid was going to pre cipitate himself bead foremost. It U the trembling palsy, also called Parkin- disease, a sort of painful nervous disorder that deprives the nnfortnnate who is afflicted with it of rest and sleep. Mr. Charcot a long time ago learned from tome invalids who were troubled with this infirmity that they derived de cided relief from long rides on a railroad or in a carriage. The more the vibra tions caused in the compartments by the train running at fall speed.and the more the carriage was jolted over an uneven pavement, the more the relief experi enced. At the end of a day’s journey they felt better and experienced an inex pressible comfort. One of them con ceived the idea of having himself wheeled stout for honrs in one of those heavy carts used for carrying paving stones. Contrary to the experience of all travelers, those afflicted with trem bling palsy felt fresher and more active on alighting from the cars. The longer the trip lasted, awl the worse the line, the more durable was their improvement. Such testimony, coming from various sources, was not lost. It was for Mr. Charcot the starting point of a most curious tlierapentical application. Mr. Charcot had an anuclurir constructed, to which a to and fro motion was given by means Of an electrical windlass. Dong before the invention of the vibrat ing armchair Dr. Vigouronx conceived the idea of submitting hysterical patients to the vibration of a huge tnning fork. In this way he cured anaesthesias and muscular stiff joints. Other physicians—- Boudet, of Paris, and Mortimer, of Granville, applied vibrating rods to the treatment of neuralgias (facial uenralgia in particular) and headaches. Granville devised a small electric hammer, anal ogous to the hammer of electrio -hells, and that was applied to the painful point. Under the influence of the shock, repeated hundreds of times within a •hurt period, the pain ceased. The method was some time ago singu larly improved by Dr. Gillis de la Tour- •tte, a pupil of Mr. Charcot. He had an apparatus constructed for the treatment of megrims and nervoua headaches: it waa the vibrating helmet. Imagine a helmet of the model of that of old times, and ray analogous, as to structure, to the conformator of hatters. It is iu fact formed of ateel plates that permit of its fitting the head perfectly. Upon this helmet, in lien of. crest, there is a •mall alternating current motor of pe culiar construction that makes about 600 revolutions per minute. At every revolution a uniform vibration is propa gated to the metallic plates, and is trans mitted to the cranium that they embrace. The cranial walla thus vibrate in their ensemble, and the vibrations are natur ally transmitted to tbe entire cerebral apparatus. The sensation is not dis agreeable. The nnmber and intensity of the vibrations, moreover, may be varied according to tbe tolerance of the subject In a few minutes a sort of gen eral lassitude is experienced, with a tendency to sleep. The vibrating helmet has already been applied to a large nnmber of neuras thenic invalids, the majority of whom have experienced good results from it The process succeeds also against hemi- crania, and as this is quite a common affection, for which no surely efficacious remedy is known, the helmet will in a short time be seen to come into vogue.— Nature. Aa Opening far Inventors. Au engineer has written to one of the dailies to advocate tho diaoxygenation of glass. He argues that since steel is made by disoxygenatiug molten cast iron by blowing air through it, by a pro cess reversely analogous glass can lie softened into toughness and flexibility. He maintains that glass, which is not only much cheaper than iron, bnt much denser and tougher, can lie pnt to any of the uses of iron excepting electrical conduction, while for drain pipes and water pipes it would be uneqnaled. The champion of disoxygenated glass maintains that it could to used Instead of tin and copper, and would replace iron for rigging and fencing, etc., as it possesses almost three times the tensile strength of the best wrought iron; fur thermore, he regards it as not improba ble that vessel* built of glass beams and plates will eventually replace our pres ent steel ships, as they would be strong er, cheaper and one-half lighter.—Pitts- barer Dispatch. Startling Facts ! Trait Twa-thlnU af th* lOO Par CnL CaallMia «ru» hdutij. The window glass industry well illus trates the effects of “protection” gone to eeed. This industry was a right smart infant when Hamilton left a duty of per cent, on it in 1791. We consume abcxit $12,000,000 worth of window glass a year, one-third of which is imported at an avenge duty of 08 per cent. Dur ing the last ten years we have paid more than $15,000,000 actual duties to customs officers, and $90,000,000 more of tariff bonus to our protected manufacturers. Forty-five million dollars tax that our wage earners may receive more than they otherwise would do! Bnt all of the window glqs* workers in the land have not received $45,000,000 during the last ten years. Hence it would be profitable for the United States to quit monkeying with the glass infant by abolishing the duty entirely and to distribute directly to the window glass workers the amount now extracted from the pockets of the people by this tax. The workers could live in idleness at summer and winter resorts, and would be most valuable cit izens, for they would spend freely and make business boom in many industries. Bnt the innumerable advantages of this method over tbe present unprofitable one cannot be estimated. Now has 100 yean of protection pnt this industry on a firm footing? On the contrary, it is in a demoralized condi tion for no other reason, as the glaea workers themselves ere beginning to recognize, than that of overprotectiou. With natural gas—the cheapest and best fuel in the world—and with the best natural facilities for production, the industry is in a backward condition. We make poor glass and are less able to compete with Belgium than < ver before. As The National Glass Budget of Sept. 17, 1893, puts it, “Is it not a shame for us to allow that our window glass is in ferior to the imported because our highly protected manufacturers have not taken the trouble to bnild the l»cst furnaces and our highly paid workmen have uot taken tho pains to do their work care fully?” Below are given the present wholesale prices in Belgium, etc. Present whole sale prices iu Belgium, from which all our imports of window glass come, and the prices charged to tho American con sumer by the Wiudow Glurs trust: IT. 8. nelslr.ni Dntle* prlCB A.

When imported the duties amount to $13.15. Freight and insur ance amount to $1.75, making a total cost laid down here, duty paid, $39.21. The Glass trust charges exactly $29.06% for the some amount of glass. Tbe American people, if they had not become familiar with such methods, would bring indictments against the American Window Glass Manufacturers* association and its subtrust, the United Glass company, for fraudulent manage ment and for receiving money from con sumers under false pretenses. Tho standing committees of the association area board of control, a price list com mittee, district and national wage com mittees and a tariff committee. Each does faithfnl work in its own field, and production, wages, tariffs aud prices ore “regulated” regardless of the inter ests of consumers, who l»y good right own a half interest in the business with out haring a single representative on any of the committees. As an example of tbn wav in which the consumer is defraud it may be mentioned that out of 103 window glass plantain the United State* 41 ore idle, and have been fur some time, and that the others are only permitted to run on an average eight or nine months a year. The Window Glass company, a corpora tion which owns 17 of the 108 plants, has a capacity of 28 furnaces, with 250 pots and a 24-blower continuous tank. Of these plants 9%, with a capacity of 12 furnaces with 116 pots, are idle. The capital invested in them is, however, earning as much os that invested in ac tive plants. The taxpayers are just beginning to find out what use is made of their money, and they are beginning to swear. It is not nnlikely that they will some day stop paying bounties to industries that are controlled by trusts. ♦ Groceries, Ha; and Grain, Canned Goods, AND EVERYTHING KEPT IN A FIRST-CLASS GROCERY.

If there is one country iu the worl.l where the assumption that protection is necetwary to the uevc-lopmetU of manu factures aud the “diversification of in dustry” is conclusively disproved by the most obvious facts, tust country is the United States. The first settlera iu America devoted tin-native* to trade with the Indiana cud to ih«>se extractive industries which a sparse population al ways finds most profitable, the produce of the forest, of the soil and of tho fish eries constituting their staples, while even brick and tiles were at first im ported from the mother country. But without any protection, and iu spite of British regulations intended to prevent the growth of manufactures in the colo nies, one industry after another took root as population increased, until at the time of the first tariff act—in 1789- all the more important manufactures, including those of iron and textiles, had become firmly established. As up to this time they had grown without any tariff, so must they have continued to grow with the increase of population, even if we hud never had a tariff. !s 1 45 s 2 35 f 3 20 A.
