Mr. Cleveland said we hear a great devl Jhwt now In eondetnnntton and defense, of trust* and eomhinaiion* lie described a recent article opposlaig them, which first described a community of people show wants were supplied bv tradesmen and craftsmen ivhn were their neighbors, they dealt tngelher a* friends Interested hi each other's wnl'are and willing to yield something lo each other # circumstance*.

This twenlv feet of steam exerts Just s* high a pressure as any other twenty feet, and works the pis ton rod* for an lnatant after the throttle Is dosed.
